MAKING FINAL PROOF
REPRESENTATIVE TAYLOR HAS
NEW PLAN FOR coLoRADoANs.
Government Agent to Go to farmers
Land and Conduct Necessary For
mailtlss to Give Settler Title.

Western Newspaper Union News gsrviee.
Neutrality-suspicious. on govern
ment lands In Colorado are to have
the privilege Of making proof on their
entries without the necessity of jour
neying to the nearest land office and
going to the labor and expense of as
sembling witnesses at distant points
Representative e. T. Taylor OF Colo
RADIO. after conferences At the General
Land Office extending over several
months. has secured promise that
In Colorado will be tried out new
system of having the government go
to the farmers land and there con-
Quoting the necessary formaltties to
give the settler his title.
Under the present regulations Of the
land office, the person who desires to
obtain patent on piece Of public land
must present himself before the near
est register and receiver and marshal
his witnesses to show that he has
fully compiled with all requirements
as to cultivation, that his lines are
run correctly and that the land is OF
a nature that permits acquisition un'
der the public land laws. Widespread
suspicion as to farmers rights in
various cases have brought about
swarm of contests on the part OF the
government The settlement of these
controversies has worked delay, hard
ship and often grievous injury to the
land applicant, as 1t has been neces-
sary for land office agent, in the
course of time, to visit the land and
make report as to the farmers right OF
entry. At Mr.. Taylor's suggestion,
Secretary Lane has ordered the land
office officials to investigate the feas-
ibility of having the government
agents visit the land in the first place
and there work out the entire matter
of proof and right to entry with the
entryman and his witnesses on the
land ITSELF The commissioner of the
General Land Office, It is understood.
has in preparation an order which will
apply the new system to Colorado
alone. Although there will be an
added expense to the government, 1t
has been determined to try out the
new plan. II II works the advantages
predicted for 1t. Congress will be
asked TO supply the necessary funds
to extend II throughout the territory
where the land office administers its
duties.
"The extent to which the filing OF
contests against innocent land entry
men has gone has been outrageous"
said Congressman Taylor. There is
no reason why the government, II 1t
desires to contest the filing OF any
settler. should not send an agent at
once to his land and not require the
farmer to walt long period-solne-
times two years-before the cloud is
removed from his enterrrlse. And II
these agents can be sent at once
when there are contests. there is no
reason why they should not visit
every holding at the proper time and
allow the farmer to make his proofs
on the spot. | am gratified to learn
that the officials OF the land office
are going to try out the new system In
Colorado. II will mean n vast saving
in time and money to honest farmers.

ACID VICTIM MAY
NOT LOSE HER
EYES|GHT
Husband, Accused Of Drug At
tack, in Jail, Unable to
Make $4,000 Bond.

In absence of a $4,000 bond, De-
Witt knight was in Jail Wednesday
awaiting his wife's sufficient recov-
cry to attend his trial on the charge
of throwing carbolic acid in her face
and eyes at the Piedmont Hotel Mon
day night.
Mrs. Knight, in the Grady Hospital
is suffering severely from the burns
caused by the acid, but the doctors
now believe the sight of one eye, and
perhaps both, may be saved. The left
eye was injured most.
The trial will be on an issue drawn
with peculiar distinctness and rigor
Mrs. knight asserts that her hus-
band, prefacing the act with the kiss
of Judas" tilted her head back and
poured the acid in her face, with the
deliberate intention of running her
beauty" threatening phrase she de-
clares he has often used.
Knight contends that his wife was
about to drink the acid, with suicidal
intent, when he struck the glass from
her lips, thereby burning his hands
and wrists with the splaslling fluid.
The testimony of the hospital ply
sicians so far is to the effect that no
traces of the acid indicated that any
of it had been swallowed. The wom
ans lips were burned, they said, but
no more than could have been the
case if the acid had been thrown in
her face, as she asserts.
Knight persists in his story that he
was the complainant in the case in
which Mrs. knights little daughter
by former marriage was taken from
her and placed in the Home for the
Friendless in Atlanta. He says he
suspected she would come here to see
the girl and that he followed her here
to prevent it, as he did not think it
was to the best interests of the child
