 LAND SWINDLERS
SAID MEXICAN COMPANY SOLD TRACTS IT NEVER POSSES
 SED A TITLE TO.

Philadelphia, March 4.-That mves- tors in all parts of the country were defrauded of nearly S6,000,000 by false representations and misleading literature sent through the mails was charged by United States District Attorney Swartley in outlining the case of the government against the promoters and officers of the lnterna- tional Lumber and Development com pany. today in the United States dis- trict scourt He declared he would show that 2SS,O00 acres of land in Mexico, alleged to be owned by tN company is in reality owned by the San Pablo company, new Jersey corporation and that the million and a half dollars paid in dividends did not come out of earnings but was paid from money obtained from in yestors

COMPROMISE IN
 THE OLE0 CASES
GOVERNMENT REDUCES CLAIM FROM s1,ooo,ooo to $to2,ooo
 FOR PACKERS.

Washington, March 4.-The gov ernmenes $l,00W000 claim against Chicago pasckers and others for tax es alleged due on colored oleomargar, inc sold as uneolored. was comprom- ised by Secretary MacVeagh today for $102,000
 A spirited controversy surrounded these cases. United States District Judge Landis started grand jury in- vestigation which was later suspend ed pending the treasury departments action and the house committee on expenditures in the treasury depart ment inquired into the subject.
 The compromise was made, it is explained here because the govern ment had no evidence to sustain the S1 1,O00,000 claim. One hundred and two thousand dollars, 1t is added was all the government could hope to get even through litigation. The treasury held that a test case was impracti- cable because it could not be decided for two or tlree years and in any event the government could not ex- pect to obtain anything approaching it's maximum claim.

TWO SINNERS.

There was a man, it was said on
time,
Who went astray in his youthful
prime,
Can the brain keep cool and the hear
keep quiet
When the blood is a river that's run
ming riot?
And boys will be boys" the old folks
say,
And the man is better who'd had his
day.
The sinner reformed and the preach
er told
OF the prodigal son who came back
to the fold,
And Christian people threw open the
door,
With a warmer welcome than ever
before.
Wealth and honor were his to com
mand,
And spotless woman gave him her
hand
And the world strewed their pathway
with blossoms abloom,
Crying, God bless ladye, and Cod
bless groom!"
There was a maiden who went astray
In the golden dawn of her life's young
day,
She had more passion and heart than
head.
And she followed blindly where fond
Love led
And Love unchecked is dangerous
guide
To wander at will by fair girls side.
The, woman repented and turned from
sin,
But no door opened to let her in.
The preacher prayed that she might
be forgiven,
But told her to look for mercy-in |
Heaven
For this is the law of the earth, we
know
That the woman is stoned, while the
man may go.
A brave man welded her after all.
But the world said, frowning, eve
shall not call"

reoollectlons after thirteen

my's" recollections after thirteen
years were practically worthless. But
the Jury decided that the girl was IA
years old and sent Goodlake to the
penitentiary for eight years. The
Journal of the American Medical AS
sociation, commenting on this case,
says:
I'VE know nothing of the merits of
the case, of the guilt or innocence of
the accused, or of the justice or in
justice of the verdict. But for a mod
ern, civilized state to have to resort
in court to such methods to prove the
age of one of it's wards is supremely
absurd"
Evidently the people of North Caro-
lima have come to the same conclu-
sion, as the state legislature has just
passed the model bill for the regis
tration of births and deaths. After
this law is once fairly in working or.
der, such occurrences as those which
marked the Goodlake trial will be i'm
possible, Illinois, Iowa and Tennes-
see have the' same measure before
their legislatures, and it is hoped it
will become a law in each of these
states.
