THE MORNING OREGOMAN, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 1909. MQNDELL BACKS SEC. BALLIMGER Public Land Question Comes Up in Bill Before Congress. CHANGE IN COAL LAND LAW "Wyoming Congressman Seeks to Dis imse of Surface Rights to Prop erty as Though Xo Coal Kxisted Beneath. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. Dec. 6. Representative Mondell. of Wyoming, chairman of the House com mittee on public lands, today Introduced a bill following the lines of Secretary Balllnger's recent recommendations, per mitting the surface entry of public lands known to contain coal deposits. In the main, the bill provides that pub lic land known to be underlain with coal In commercial quantities, shall, so far as the surface is concerned, be open to entry under the homestead or desert land act, according to the character of the surface land, and shall also be subject to selection under the Carey act, with a View to its irrigation. Plan to Separate Rights. It Is the purpose of the bill to entirely separate the surface rights from the, rights to the coal beneath. If the present coal land laws are continued In effect, the coal will be subject to entry under prevailing regulations: If the coal land law is changed, then the coal deposits will be subject to entry or to lease in accordance with the provisions of- the new statute. But the Mondell bill is not dependent upon a coal land law for its enforcement: It disposes solely of the surface rights, as though no coal existed beneath the surface. Mr. Mondell Is frank to say that it will take a great deal of discussion to whip this measure Into acceptable and prac tical form. He will bring it before his committee at the earliest possible date; will have hearings and get the views of 'officials and members competent to dis cuss the subject, and endeavor at a Rea sonably early date to get the bill In shape for consideration by the House. There are a number of intricate fea tures to be worked out. Some provision must be made for adjusting conflicts be tween the surface entrymen -and the man who later obtains title to the coal, or a lease to work the same. To some extent there will be conflict, and this must be regulated by law, or else there will be endless friction. Instance Given In Illustration. For Instance, a surface entryman may build his home, barns and other build ings, lay out his fields, and make all im provements. The coal land entryman coming along later may find that he can best develop the coal by sinking a shaft on the site of the house or barn. To permit him arbitrarily to compel the settler to move his building without compensation would be unjust; yet in some instances tlie might be good rea son why he should be permitted to sink Ills shaft where he can do it to best ad vantage. Some basis of remuneration must be provided, but how to do it ef fectively presents a nice problem., Again, there must be some provision in the law which will protect the settler from reck less prospecting all over his land, to the detriment of his fields, crops and .prop erty. ' This conflict of interests is the one great drawback to the dual system of developing lands containing coal de posits, and until it can be worked out satisfactorily, legislation of this charac ter will stand little chance of passing. It Is to meet this situation that Mr. Mondell Is introducing his bill this early in the cession. CALHOUN TRIAL REOPENS Ban Francisco Court Again Hears Alleged Bribery Case. SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 6.

WIFE TOO FOND, HE SAYS Man Who Lives With Mother Wants lMvorce From Wife. NKW YORK, Dec. 5. A well-dressed. T-ell-gronmed young man entered the West 100th street station last night with an Indignant expression on his face. He walked to the desk and greet ed Lieutenant Sheehan and then asked the officer if he could tell him how he could obtain a separation from his wife. The seeker after advice said that he had recently married a young woman and that at the time it was expressly understood that she was not to look to him for support, as he had to take care of his mother. Then, with a sullen look, he told Lieutenant Sheehan that his wife had been visiting his home nearly every day, had been staying to dinner, and had remained over night far too often to suit him. He made his statements without a smile, and as if he were the most aggrieved person the face of the earth. "How can I get a separation?" he again asked the Lieutenant. "You had better go to the morgue." said the Lieutenant, looking his visitor over from head to foot. ' That's the only place I know where you can get one." The man. whose identity the police were unable to learn, turned away with a disgusted gesture and walked to the door. Outside the station he was ap proached and asked for his name. "Who are you? What do you do?" he questioned In turn. "No. I will not tell my name," he said, and hurried away. BIG SCHOONER ASHORE MAJESTIC GOES AGROUND ON POINT PFEIFFER. Captain and Crew of Nine Men Reach Land Safely Vessel Owned in San Francisco. SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 6. The steam schooner Majestic, bound from San Pe dro to this port in ballast, is ashore. Captain K.

Keegan and hie crew of nine men from the wrecked steam schooner Majestic arrived at Monterey. 25 miles north of the scene of the disaster, today, and told the story of the wreck. He said that he endeavored to keep his vessel 12 miles off shore, but the strong westerly cur rent, combined with the wind, carried her toward the land. One blade of the propeller had been lost during a recent trip from Puget Sound, and in the steam er's crippled condition it was Impossible to keep her on her course during the storm. The seas were breaking to a great height, and along the shore was a perpendicular bluff, .toward which the vessel was rapidly driven, soon striking on the rocks. At daylight a boat carrying a line suc ceeded in reaching the shore, but it was nearly four hours later before the crew waslanded. First Mate Tralnor had a narrow escape from drowning. While climbing up the face of the bluff he fell a distance of 20 feet into the sea. but was rescued by the sailors at the risk of their lives. The members of the crew are now at Pfoiffer'a ranch house, eight miles from the stranded steamer, which has been carried up on the Bandy beach under the bluff by the heavy seas, and which will probably be a total loss. The Majestic was built only a year ago. She cost $150,000. The revenue cutter Hugh McCulloch, 'which arrived here today, left immedi ately for the scene of the wreck, and will attempt to float the stranded vessel. The McCulloch reported having passed the tug Navigator with the lumber steamer Excelsior in tow off Davenport's Land ing, making slow progress toward San Francisco. The Excelsior was driven ashore at Moss Landing during the same gale that wrecked the Majestic, but was floated. STEAMERS COLLIDE,-ONE SINKS Cleveland Boat Lost, With Other Badly Damaged. SAULT STE.
