Statement that Gag Was Used
in Penitentiary.

Former Governor Stubs protests
against the statement that the steel
gag had been used in the state prison
at Lansing under the administration

warden in Stubb's administration. The
statement was made by B. d. Jones,
discharged employee of the peniten-
tiary, who is suing in the supreme
court for reinstatement

Stubbs, and he declared the testimony
of Jones was absolutely false. He was
so emphatic about it and l know so
well how abhorrent such practices
would be to him, that / join in his de-
nunciation of the statement. Further
more, 1 will give 500 for proof that
the steel gag was used under the Cod

WATERS BEGINS LONG TRIP
Crowd of 1900 Say Goodbye to Aeri-

Manhattan Depots.

Fully four thousand persons were
at the Union Pacific depot at Manhat-
tan when President H. J. Waters Of
the state agricultural college, his wife
and son left for San Francisco, where
they will sail for the Philippine Is
lands.
In the crowd at the depot were
members of the college faculty, the
entire student body, the band and
the cadet corps, and some two thou
sand Manhattan residents. The train
was few minutes late, and for a full
half hour the band played, and the ca
diets, in full uniform, stood at atten-
ton
There is a deep conviction here that
when President Waters left he left
Manhattan and the college perma-
nently. Persons of authority believe
that the government will appoint him
+ to some important position just as
soon as he completes his two months
work in the Philippines. He will in
vestigate the educational and agricul-
tural conditions there for the United

Promoters Must Prove Land Grant.

Denyer.-The promoters of every
Carey act project in the state will be
called before the State Land Board
during March and asked to show what
they are doing toward placing water
on the land which they segregated
from entry, according to board or
der. The law requires that water shall
be put on the lands within certain
period. All promoters who cannot
prove the ability and inclination to full
fill this requirement within the period
will be compelled to give up the land
so that it may be opened to settlers.
All sharks who already have overrun
the allotted time will be made to re-
linquish at once. The land board is

cations by Register Volney T. Hoggatt,

acres of the best land in the state are

corporations for speculation. Many of
these have not fulfilled their contracts
and are making no effort to do so.
