PROVIDING MONEY
FOR LAND.POOR
Government Should Give Wor.
thy Immigrants Financial
Assistance

Chicago. Sept. 16-one Of the most
important subjects before the United
States today is placing the money
poor people in homes on the land, &C.
cording to the belief Of Geo. e. Bar
stow, former president Of the Ma
tional Irrigation congress-. which will
hold its nineteenth meeting in Chica-
go, December to 8. Mr.. Barstow
says:
MY understanding, as discussed in
my address before the National Irri-
cation congress that convened at Spo-
kane, is that the national govern
ment has already passed law pro-
viding for the establishment of bu-
reau Of immigration. the purpose of
which is to aid in assisting the immi-
grants coming to our shores to a
right understanding as to where they
can best locate upon lands for home
building. This bureau is also to
work in conjunction with similar bu-
reaus created by the several states,
the better to accomplish that much
to be desired end. The importance Of
this step is realized when we con-
slider that over seventy-five per cent
of all the people coming from other
countries to our shores have been
cultivating the soil in their native
lands.
But should not the national gov
ernment, If not the state, go a step
further? A large percentage of immi-
grants land at our great ports Of
entry with insufficient money to en-
able them to push out west or to
the southwest. Shall I, who have al
ways been broadly conservative, be
regarded as preaching paternalism, or
as socialistic in my purpose. when
suggesting that the duty of the ma
tional government may be found in
providing. under proper safeguard. a
fund which may be used to make
loans of suitable amounts to enable
this thrifty and frugal class of peo-
pie to locate their homes under the
government irrigation plants.
Does the duty Of the state lie in
the care Of her INDECENT and needy?
Does her duty lie in the enlighten-

ment of her ignorant? Is her duty
found In the proper protection Of her
people by creating such laws as to
protect her citizens in the pursuit of
life, liberty and happiness? Then, 1
inquire, does not the states duty lie
along the lines Of making such whole
some provision for that part Of her
true. though money-poor people, as
to obtain homes on the land, thereby
creating truer and nobler citizen
ship. and whereby we shall require
less almshouses and jails and pris-
ons
II believe this to be one of the most
important subjects that can occupy
the serious attention of the people OF
the United States at large, and by
their state legislatures and the ma
ttonal congress at Washington.
Nov, as I have said, we have the
immigration bureau whose duty 1t is
to point out the land for the landless
man. But, we should supply by ma
tional legislation the missing link in
this vital economic chain, by provid-
ing for these worthy immigrant farm
ers the money on reasonable time
and At low rate Of interest, pay
ment to be secured upon their pur-
chases Of the public domain, of irri-
gated or dry farming lands, as the
farmer may prefer.
TO this end I advocate the gov
ernment provide an immigration land
fund to be placed under the care and
discretion Of the secretary of the in
terror. That he shall in conjunction
with the immigration bureau inaugu-
rate such machinery as is needful to
select and determine as to frugal and
worthy immigrant farmers. Those
farmers who shall choose irrigated
lands shall be placed under the care
Of the reclamation service, and those
who desire to locate on dry lands
shall be under the care Of the Sec
retary Of agriculture, for arranging
their settlement upon the lands so
chosen.
Il expect that some proper arrange
ment could be made by our govern
ment with the governments abroad
so that those farmers who purpose
coming to the states could have their
standing vizied by some proper Off
cial in the country of their nativity.
This immigration land fund should
be revolving in character; of reason
able size at the outset and suitably
enlarged as time matured and the
plan was discovered as eminently wise.
/ trust that the officers Of the nine
teenth National Irrigation congress
convening in Chicago in December
next will give all possible attention
to this laudable plan, and that when
the congress convenes, suitable ac-
ton will be taken to impress upon
our people and our government the
great Importance of having this idea
crystallized into definite and work.

Lemberger Child

Madison. Wis. Sept. 1e.-A letter
from John A. Johnson, now in the
state penitentiary, declaring his inno-
cence Of the murder Of 7-year-old
Annie Lemberger, was received today
by his attorney, Emerson Ella. The
Letter was written in an illiterate hand
on prison stationery and covered one
page. Ella declined to make public
the contests of the letter but says in
substance johnson wrote that he was
not guilty and that the guilty man
would be found. He said, further, that
he pleaded guilty through fear Of mob
violence and wanted to get to a safe
place as soon as possible. Attorney
Ella Indignantly refuted the charges
that Johnson had been "railroaded' to
prison and said such accusation was
an insult to the court and to all the
officials interested.

SENT UP FOR 80 YEARS FOR ROBBERY


Of one Tim Hallisy, in the county of
Cavalier and state of North Dakota.
and in the hay loft Of the barn of said
Hallisy, said Davis was captured and
arratgned and taken into custody by
John G. May and James Gleason, Joint
", both OF Hannah, Cavalier county.
Further that he declares that he is
willing to be taken back to the state
OF California without the necessity Of
extradition. Dated at Hannah, North

Police on Ground.
Canadian mounted police officers ar.
rived in Hannah late this morning and
they have sent to Snowflake, Man, for
Miss Price, whom they expect will
arrive here this afternoon and who
will be asked to identify the prisoner.
On the Right Track.
That the Canadian police were on
the right track in their search is in
dicated by the fact that they were
working toward Hannah when he was
arrested by the small posse from the
North Dakota city. The searchers,
however, were some distance behind
their man, although evidently gaining
on him. Fully 500 men, 1t is said,
have participated in the search since
the sensational abduction and return
Of the girl.
Davis was formerly employed at the
Hallisy farm and that fact is given
as reason for his appearance there
this morning.
Considered Reward.
Winnipeg, Sept. 16.-It was an
nounced from the department Of the
attorney general for Manitoba yester-
day that q reward was to be offered
for the capture Of the assailant Of
Miss Price. Whether the reward had
been definitely decided upon at the
hour he was captured by the Hannah
men 10 not certain.
Armed Gordon Rests.
Snowflake, Man.. Sept. 16.-At 8
o'clock last night the armed Gordon
of men from all parts Of the country
came into town to rest. They had
been out for two nights and greatly
needed 1t.
Several shots were fired at the be-
sieged man in the afternoon. A man
named McGregor, q resident Of North
Dakota, detected the alleged assailant
of Miss Price moving in crouching
position through the bush, and fired
two shots at the spot. He believed
from the exclamation he heard that
he had hit him. Constable Chamber
lain came up and fired three shots
also, but on searching the spot no
signs Of the man were seen. Later
on several more shots were fired at
suspicious movements in the scrub
but without result.
May Drop Prosecution.
That the Canadian officials charged
with the prosecution Of Davis as the
alleged abductor of Miss Price will
not insist on returning him to that
country for trial Is the belief preva-
lent in Hannah. Police officials there
believe that Davis. in being returned
to California, will have to spend
much longer time In prison than he
could be sentenced for on the Can
adian charge, and that such course is
the wisest one.

Veteran Pitchers Fail and

DETROIT, Mich, August 3O.-Manager
Hughie Jennings made an announcement
yesterday which practically means that
he has given up the pennant battle. He
said that the Tigers must have an entire
ly new pitching staff, and after a confer
ence with President Navin kilograms
were sent to several clubs from which
Detroit recently has purchased prize
pitchers for delivery at the end Of the
season to ship them on at once for i'm

selves have realized for some time that
Detroit was not getting the pitching a
hish-class minor league team has. in
spite Of the fact that several veterans
are drawing fancy salaries Jennings has
refused to see 1t this way until he sized
up Mondays game, in which two Of his
finest were sent to the woods by the Ath-
letics. 1t is plainly evident from yes
terday's announcement that Jennings has
given up hope of his veterans rounding
into form at this late day, and it is equal
ly plain that he has given up hope Of
overhauling the worlds champions or he
would not intrust the fortunes of the
Tigers in the hands OF untried recruits
fresh from the bushes. as he plans to do.
Evidently there is something going on
behind the scenes, too. George Mullin
told newspaper man at the ball yard
that he never would pitch another game
for the Tigers. He says that he feels
he has outlived his usefulness with De-
troit; that he would not go on the COM
ing trip with the team, and that he
would demand to be sold or traded.
