General Wickersham has made a state
ment in which he says:
81 have been at work upon reports
for some time, but recent edivence
makes me certain that certain high
officials of the Southern Pacific Rail
road Company are responsible for the
details of a remarkab' plot to defraud
the government in obtaining oil lands
in the West, valued at fifteen million
dollars.
This new testimony shows the most
remarkable picture of a criminal con-

plan was to obtain from the United
States, under an agricultural grant, i'm
mense tracts of land under which val
liable deposits of petroleum are known
to exist. The matter will be forced
through at once"
