TIMBER SALE
DISCUSSED
DAVID N. WlNTON SAYS WHITE
EARTH BUYERS, DIDN'T
CUT HEADS OFF,"
GIVES POSITIVE OPINION
Testifies That He Was Told Agree,
ment Had Been Reached by Some.
Other Witnesses at
Hearing.

Minneapolis, Jan. 25.-David n. Win
ter, a wealthy lumberman of Mime
apolis, gave it as his opinion at the
White Earth reservation hearing that
a few buyers of timber at the Crooks
ton sale in November, 1900, got to-
gether and didn't cut each others
heads off.
This opinion was the most startling
development of the days session and
marked an advance in the quality of
the evidence which is being presented
to prove a combination at the sale for
the purpose of exclusive bidding oppor
tunities. Mr.. Winton was the first wit
ness to express positive opinion in
favor of the theory of the representa-
tives of the department of justice that
there was such a combination. He tes-
titled also that another had told him
that there was an agreement on the
part of some of the buyers not to cut
each others throats." He could, how
ever, neither recall the name of his in
formant nor suggest the names Of
those who entered into the under
standing.
Another witness, Luther Davies,
merchant of Oshkosh, Wis, testified
that while the sale was on he bid in
some land and entered into an agree
ment with Hovey G. Clarke to sell it
to him at an advance of $4,000, with
out investing cent himself. He as
serted that he and Clarke had no I'M
derstanding as to bidding.
A second Minneapolis lumberman of
prominence, Richard H. Chute, admit
ted in an open manner that the COM
pany of which he was the head had
evaded a state law in it's purchase Of
some land at the sale by bidding for
it, through him, in his name. He de-
MED knowledge of any combination
among bidders.
A spirited show of feeling marked
the hearing and created considerable
diversion The persons responsible
were John J. Lynch, witness, and
Cue Beaulieu. The latter's attempt to
interrogate Lynch met with a fiat re-
fusal which required the diplomacy of
Representative Graham to overcome A
declaration of bad feeling between
the witness and the man from the
reservation was one incident, and the
passage of insinuations another, of the
quarrel

STEEL REDUCTION
BILL FACES VETO
DEMOCRATS PLAN TO RUSH NEW
MEASURE STARTLES THE
REPUBLICANS.
DIVISION OF SENTIMENT
Oppose Revision Downward No
Matter How 1t May Go
Through House.

Washington, Jan. %. - Although
their steel and iron tariff reduction bill
cOnfronts a veto when it reaches
President Taft, no matter how the bill
may go through the house and how it
may be changed in the senate, Chair
man Underwood and his colleagues of
the ways and means committee are
preparing to press the bill through the
house.
The Republican members of the
committee were startled when a re-
port was circulated that Mr.. Under
wood was preparing to rush the bill
through before Saturday night and
that every amendment which might be
offered by the Republicans would meet
with vigorous opposition by the Demo-
Gratis. Representatives Payne, Dalzell
and Mccall of the Republican minor
ity end of the committee went at once
to the White House to confer with
President Taft and to ascertain in ad
vance just what the president thinks
of the Democratic steel bill and the
plan to rush it through without await
ing report from the tariff board.
1t is understood that the president
assured the Republican committee
men that any iron and steel tariff re-
duction bill of the kind and complex
ion now proposed by the Democrats
would meet the same fate at his hands
as did the wool, cotton and other tariff
bills passed at the special session last
summer, unless it shall be approved
by the tariff board.
The Republicans are preparing to
attack the steel and iron tariff reduc-
ton bill even harder than they did the
wool and cotton bills last summer.
They are expecting a greater divi
sion of sentiment among the Demo
Gratis of the senate on the measure
than was shown among the members
of that body in the special session and
in the consideration of the iron and
steel provisions of the Payne law
three years ago.

STEPHENSON REPORT FILED
Senate Subcommittee Finds Charge
OF Corruption Are Not Sustained
Against Wisconsin Senator.

Washington, d. C.-The subcom-
m1ttee which investigated the cleo
ton of Senator Stephenson has re-
ported to the full committee on privi-
leges and elections that the charges
of corruption were without founda-
ton and have not been substantiated.
After reviewing the investigation
held in Milwaukee last fall, the re-
port concludes as follows:
Your subcommittee has given
the fullest consideration to all of the
testimony introduced and has con-
sidered it's weight and effect under
the rules pertaining to the investiga-
ton and is of the opinion that the
charges preferred against Senator
Stephenson have not been sustained
and your subcommittee finds that
the election of said Isaac Stephenson
as a senator of the United States
from the state Of Wisconsin was not
procured by corrupt methods or prac-
tlces, and that there was not used or
employed corrupt methods or prac-
tlces in said election of Isaac Steph-
enson."
The report is signed by Senators
Hepburn, Pomerene, Bradley and
Sutherland, and is unanimous. Sen
ator Paynter did not sign the report,
although member of the sub-com-
mittee, because he did not sit in the
investigation.
The full committee which consid-
cred the report for more than two
hours decided to take action upon it
in two weeks. This action was taken
to give members of the committee
time to examine the evidence upon
which the report is based.
All members of the full commit
tee were present except Senators
Paynter, Bradley and Fletcher, and
although there was much discussion,
there was no indication that any OBJ
lection to the report would be made.

Warm Fight Expected in Woodmen's
Convention in Chicago.

Chicago, Jan. 25.-Plans for increas-

Woodmen of America will encounter
vigorous opposition on the part of
body of delegates to the annual con-
vention of the body.
The convention was called by the
national officers for the purpose of re-
vising the rate upward, but many of
the delegates, some claim, majority,
insist that an increase in rates is un-
necessary and unjust. The insurgents
assert that 80 per cent of the men,
bers of the body are opposed to the
increase.

FIST FIGHT FOLLOWS RULING
CULT LEADER GIVEN BLACK EYE

Court Orders Lindsay Heir When
Found, Placed in Care of
Uncle.

Chicago, Jan. GA fist fight be,
tween newspaper photographers and
followers of the MaZdaznan cult
followed a decision of Judge Mer-
rift w. Pinckney in the juvenile court
that neither REV. Dr." Ottoman Ear
Adusht Hanish nor Mrs. Elizabeth
Lindsay was a proper custodian for
12-year-old William Lindsay who is
heir to a 100000 fortune in Philadel-
phia.
The developments of the court hear
ing were: Boy was ordered taken
from his mother and Hanish and or
dered given, when found, into the care
of his uncle, Elwood Lindsay Of Phil
adelphia, and Charles R. Lindsay OF
Chicago, as joint guardians.
Mrs. Lindsay, who is believed to
have her son with her, was held in
contempt of court and an attachment
was issued for her.
The cults attorney refused to put
more of it's followers on the stand on
the ground that member, not the
Mazdaznan cult, was on trial.
The fisticuffs came when followers
of Hanish formed a lane through
which he might pass from the court to
his automobile, excluding others from
that part of the sidewalk. A photog-
rapher tried to snap the leader of
the cult and DR.. Thompson and his
friends smashed the camera. Friends
of the newspaper man attacked the
cult followers. Police, probationary Of
ficers and deputy sheriffs quelled the
disturbance and hurried Hanish and
his friends back into the court room,
whence they departed later.
