Salt Luke, Nov. 20. Tho irrin of tho government and of jusllco is tightening slowly about tho organized gangs which, it Is alleged, havo for years, with tho connivance of tho Land department, robbed tho public domain of coal, min eral and timber land valued at many millions of dollars. In tho end, it is slated, every iuoihIht of thcso gangs, whether ho bo a plain citizen r tho United States or occupies high olllcial posttion, will bo mado to answer in tho criminal eourlH for his complicity In tho most gigantic frauds said ever to havo been perpetrated on tho United States government, Every agency of tho government, In cluding tho Interstate Commerce com mission, tho Hecret'riervlee, the Federal grand Jury and tho court of equity, has been set in motion to accomplish tho end desired. While tlio Interstate Commerco commission is taking testi mony hero tending to show that tho Rio Grande railroad and ils allied com panies, tho Utah Fuel comixiny and tho Pleasant Valley Coal coiiiviny, havo been securing by fraudulent means nil of tho coal land in tho state of Utah and consequently building up their monopoly in this line, tho Federal grand Jury hero Is awaiting tho out come of tho hearing with a view to gathering all of the guilty ones into its net.

Tho rob beries of the nubllo domain havo been almost as extensive, It Ih charged? jn numcr lunti as in mineral land, That such enormous frauds, extend ing through a long period of years. could not havo lieon perpetrated with out tho complicity of tho hmd detri ment, is Haiti to Do a patent fact. During tho hearing hero yesterday a gllmpso of the real ower behind the throno was given when It was stated by government land agents that they had been comcllcd to see Senator Francis K. Warren regarding olllcial business of tlio Land detriment. Senator War ren Is charged with having ruled tho land ofllct) for a number of years. It was his influenco and that of Senator Clark which secured tho appointment, during President MflKlnley's adminis tration, of Willis Vandovanter to 1n assistant attorney general for tho Inter ior department. Vainlovanter was tho legal conscience of tho Und depart ment, and Vandovanter had leen at torney for tho companies charged with stealing tho laud. It was Warren who mado Congressman Frank W. Modell assistant laud commissioner, who later put Ringer Hermann hi tho position of commissioner, and who succeeded him by present Commissioner Richards. It is Warren, it is claimed, who still con trols tho land olliivs from Nebraska and tho Dakotas to California and Alaska.

First That he ls not a loyal and consistent republican. Second That he Is a traitor and. political black-leg. Third That he could not be depanoV eJ upon to support' Roosevtlt' If he had been a loyal and consistent republican he would not have deserted his party In the hour of Its dire dis tress, when the blight of Brynnlsm and populism overohadowed the country In 1006.
