HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS

Very Wealthy, Says Off
cial Report

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-The names
OF three former Detroiters, one of
them dead. figure in charges made by
the congressional subcommittee OF the
committee on expenditures in the In
terror department, that the govern
ment stands TO lose over a hundred
million dollars on its present reclama-
ton projects because OF the fact that
millions OF dollars have been used
from the federal treasury TO make a
few persons very wealthy. The former
Detroit men mentioned are the Late
ID. NJ. Ferry. G. e. Bowen and A. J..
Chandler. They are named as the
prime movers in gigantic land grab
in Arizona
The report says in part:
"One tract of over $4,000 acres was
held by A. ]. Chandler, OF Mesa, who,
according To his testimony before us,
defrauded the government Of it by the
dummy entry plan, the dummies A.
ing under the desert land act, making
and filing false afidavits as TO their
respective interests, and executing
formal conveyance to Chandler after
receiving patents. Chambers CO
partners In the scheme were the late
ID. NJ. Ferry and G. C.. Bowen"
The committee report is TO the ef-
feet that on the Salt river project
alone the federal government stands
to lose $6,747, 1896 Ii was in this pro-
ject that Chandler and his associates
were interested. The committee In
estimating the loss points out that
the reclamation act provides that only
the estimated cost of constructing an
irrigation system may be recovered by
the government through assessing the
land benefited Ii is contended that
the engineers estimated the Salt river
project would cost $3,S50,000 but that
II TO date has cost $10,547 ,296.
Director +. III. Newell, OF the re.
clamation service. denied the truth of
the statements. The whole line OF
reasoning is fallacious and not In &C.
cordance with law" he said. There
is no reason to believe the government
will lose q dollar on any OF those
works.
Concerning the claims that Messrs.
Ferry. Bowen and Chandler had gain
ed possession of vast tracts OF land
Director Newell said
that was a story OF the early days
before the government became In
torested in reclamation work. ut may
be that some OF the contracts would

"BORAX" SMITH BANKRUPT

San Francisco, July 28.--F M
Smith, multi-millionaire, head of
the two hundred million dollar
Smith corporations, has been
thrown into the bankruptcy court.
A petition was filed yesterday in
the United States District Court
by four of Smiths creditors-Leo
R Dickey. G E Gilman, Albert Han
ford, and the Union Land Company.
1t is said Smith had transferr-
ed more than $1,0O0,O0O of his as
sets to his wife and other persons
and corporations without any
monetary consideration, at a time
when he was insolveat, which acts
are declared illegal and to furnish
cause that he be declared insol-
vent, and that a receiver be ap-
pointed.
This action comes as a sensational
surprise so shortly after the time
when the gigantic, many branched
financial affairs of F M Smith had
apparently been rescued from
condition Of chaus and were on the
high road to rehabilitation, through
the appointing of a board of FIVE
trustees Of prominent San Francis
co and Oakland financiers to man.

tween F M Smith on the one side

PULLMAN TO PAY
ITS TAXES
Eud of two years contest settled
out of Court
Litigation is ended

District Attorney Carville has
been notified by the Pullman Palace
Car company that i. will pay taxes
accrued against that corporation
and hereafter pay like any ordinary
citizen of Elko county. This change
of heart comes as surprise to
everybody as it was stated that the
case would be fought to the last
ditch.
The amount involved for the last
year is 1886, ,26, and this year the
amount of the Pullman taxes will
be fully as much and possibly more
By the settlement the company pays
all costs and the county will lie
enriched to the extent of nearly
$4,000. The Pullman Company
realized that a fight in the courts
was hopeless and that in the end il
would be obliged to pay the whole
amount assessed anyway, so the
company came off its high horse
and agreed to pay its taxes like
any good citizens. A letter to Dis
trict Attorney Carville says the
check for the $1886.26 taxes fol
1912 will be sent to Elko in a day
or two and the 1913 taxes will be
paid promptly.

JAPS FIND WAY
TO EVADE Law

San Francisco, July 28-Japa-
nese land owners of California have
found a loop-hole in the anti-land
law which will enable them to es-
tablish practically perpetual owner
ship of land now acquired, for
themselves and their heirs, thus
defeating that provision of the act
which was designed to eventually
force them out of ownership by
death.
Incorporation is the weapon to
which the japanese farmer is re-
sorting to partially nullify the new
law. Oriental farmers are combin-
ing their farm land units and in
cooperating stock companies in
the belief that the stock compan-
les in the corporations upon their
deaths may be transferred to heirs.
The maximum life granted to a
domestic corporation under the
California law is so years. All OF
the Japanese land corporations that
have been organized since the alien
was passed are formed for the linn.
it. The California law also pro,
vides that corporation is privileged
to reincorporate the at expiration
Of its charter.
Figuring that their tenure OF
farming property will be safe fol-
at least SO years. or as long al
they can expect to live, dozens OF
fares from Fresno Florin, New cas-
tie and other japanese colonies are
rushing to file articles Of incorpor
tion with the secretary of state, be
fore the law becomes effective
August 10.
, Twenty four japanese land com
panies fled articles Of corporation
yesterday, bringing the total fol
the last two weeks up to more
than fifty. Reports from seVera
county recorders indicate that with
in the next week the secretary O
state can expect hundreds of othe
