MINNESOTA HAS
HER LAND FRAUDS
Benson, Hyde and Glover Ac
cused With Officials
and Lumbermen.
SAME LIEU-LAND SCHEME
Exchanged Worthless "Western Land
for Best Pine Timber In Minne
sota and Sold It Four Fed
eral Officials Involved.
ST. PAUL, Nov. 3. United States At
torney Houth today filed complaints In
Uic United States Circuit Court In which
he brings suit against Frederick A. Hyde,
John A. Benson and C. E. Glover to re--cover
26 tracts of landln Itasca. Cook, St.
Louis and Lake Counties, .Minn., which
the trio of respondents are alleged to
have obtained by fraud and collusion
with officers of the General Land Office.
The three defendants named have al
' ready been indicted In connection with
the Pacific Coast land frauds. A number
of Mlnnesotans are named as co-defendants
as having cither purchased "the land
or the stumpago from Hyde, Benson and
Glover, or from their agent, C W. Clarke,
of San Francisco.
Big Lumber Men Involved.
The list of Mlnnesotans Included Fred
erick "VVeyerhaueser. Ackley & Sprague,
the Itasca Lumber Company, C A. Smith
& Co., Richard Chute, the Leseur Lumber
Company, the Felthous Land Company,
U , B. Hill, T. R. Foley. Thomas W. Ir
win, Alger. Smith & Co., and William
Sauntley, of Stillwater. It Is not charged
that the Minnesota men made co-defendants
were in any way parties to the al
leged trwlndle. They come Into the case
only because, as Innocent purchasers,
they now hold land which the Govern
ment claims.
Federal Officials In Collusion.
It Is alleged that the principal defend
ants obtained the land by fraud and col
'uslon with employes of the United States
Land Office In . Washington, namely:
Woodford D. Harlan, William T. Valla,
Benjamin F. Allen, forest superintendent,
and Grant E. Taggart, forest supervisor.
The plan under which It Is charged In
the complaint that the Westerners de
frauded or attempted to defraud the
Government was this:
Method or Fraud.
The forest reserve act provides that
owners of land taken for the reserve. may
exchange it for any other equal area of
the Government domain. The defendants
would get Western lands at $1.25 an acre,
persuade the Land Office men to include
these almost worthless lands within the
reserves and select in lieu the lands taken
in Minnesota and other pine lands bear
ing timber worth thousands If not mil
lions of dollars. Either the stumpage
of the land or both was then sold, and
Ik Western men were -reaping a rich
harvest when the United States began
its Investigation of stone and timber act
operations.
The Government now sues to recover
Mie land, much of which has on it tho
best timber left in Minnesota.
LANDS "WON Bl FRAUDS;
BIp; Timber Operators Now Claim to
Be Innocent Purchasers.
Thomas B. Neuhauscn. Inspector of the
Fnlted States Land Offices, who is as
soclatetd with Francis J. Heney, when
shown the above dispatches last night,
stated that he was well acquainted with
the facts.
' Benson and Hyde," he Bald, "have
been Indicted in California, the legal pro
cedure against them there, as well as the
presentation of the present case against
them before the "United States Supreme
Court, being In charge of "Francis J.
Heney. In California Benson and Hyde
are charged with conspiracy to defraud
the United States out of public lands
through the une of scrip.
Harlan and Valk were officers of the
General Land Offices at Washington, D.
C , who gave ndi-ance information to
Benson and Hyde of steps contemplated
by the Government in creation of forest
leservea all over the West, but princl
rally In California
Forest Superintendent Allen and For
est Supervisor Taggart. both of whom
were employed In California, revealed
their reports on proposed forest reserves
t ' Benson and Hyde and have been In
dlted In several cares in conjunction
with them. Benson and Hyde would get
land and then convey it to the timber
companies, who now claim to be inno
cent purchasers who, according to the
law- cannot be deprived of title to the
land. They have been made parties to
he suits In order to establish the forms
cf transfers made by tho conspirator.
Benson and Hyde and their confeder
ates." All of tho Arms mentioned in the com
plaints are Interested In Western timber
lands and some of them have large hold
ings in Oregon.
ASSETS VALUED TOO HIGH
Morton Admits "Facts About Ac
countants' Work on Equitable.
NEW YORK, Oct. 3. Paul Morton,
president of the Equitable Life Assurance
Society, returned to Now Tork from his
Western trip, and told of an address
which he delivered the night before la
Pittsburg, before a large body of repre
sentatives of the Equitable Pennsylvania
agency on the occasion of its 25th anni
versary Among other things he said:
I have been much disappointed in not
bring able before this time to present the
report of the expert accountants. The de
lay is being caused by the length of time
li takes to got our foreign buildings ap
praised and by the very great work of
vilulng tho real estate we own and have
mortgages on in this country. One thing
I nn happy to tell our assets are all on
hand , .None of them is missing. Some of
our real estate has been carried at too
high a valuation, considering, and some of
cur bank and trustworthy stocks have
been valued too high on the basis of
what they might be sold for quickly; but
whatever the change In the valuation of
assets may be, it will in no way reduce
the. Income of the-society. and I promise
I yoaahat the reduction in expenses of ad
ministration, it capitalized, would more
than make good any apparent reduction
in our assets. The reduction in expend!-"-turns
will bo .greater than I have even
promised.
X believe the Insurance business should
be properly safeguarded with reasonable
laws, but 1 am vigorously against all kinds
of "strike" legislation and believe it has
i i nnflr stimulated hv the success It
has heretofore met. It will be the policy
not in any way to yieia u oemanos or
threats from such a source, and I have a
positive conviction that, while in some
instances we may get unfair; even vicious
laws, in the long run we will be decidedly
better off if we stand steadfast tor prin
ciples and not bow. to expediency.
The Equitable has had ort than Its
lull share of investigation, la my opinion,
these examinations are all rolnc to do the
cause of life insurance much good in time..
incy au nave snown tnnt mere is no
question of the solvency of the bis com
panies.
.Secret Organization "Within Banks.
DETROIT. Nov. 3. Dr. Charles
O'Reilly, of this city, one of the leaders
in the fight being made to have the
Catholic Mutual Benefit Association rc
turn to the former assessment plan, in
stead of the graded rate recently adopted,
which greatly Increases the cost of Insur
ance to the old members, announced to
day that a secret organization within the
ranks of the C M. B. A. has existed for
two years. According to Dr. O'Reilly, it
was organized to work for the repeal of
tho Increased rate or disrupt the C M.
B. A., and, the doctor asserts, it includes
more than half of the present membership
of the society.
Hamilton Detained by Illness.
NEW TORK. Nov. 3. Andrew Hamil
ton, of Albany, whose name has been
the subject of testimony before the New
Tork legislative committee to investigate
life Insurance, is detained In London by
illness, according to Mrs. Hamilton, who
arrived here from Europe today.
STUDENT HAZED TO DEATH
More Evidence of Brutal Treatment
of Stuart Plcrson.
MOUNT VERNON. O.. Nov. i Having
secured testimony that at least one vic
tim of hazing at Kenyon College Paul
Barber and possibly others, had been
tied to railroad tracks, the Investigation
into the death of young Stuart Plerson
was continued today by the coroner.
Plerson was killed last Saturday night
by a locomotive at Gambler, under cir
cumstances which suggested that he
might haw been tied to the rails?
Today's testimony developed the fact
that the boy was lying proHtratc on the
tracks when the engine struck him.
The previous evidence that It was the
custom of the fraternity men to tic" candi
dates to the tracks was corroborated In
today's testimony.
The examination of President Pierce, of
Kenyon College, lasted over two hours, and
was severe. He said he saw the marks
on the body described as rope marks, but
believed them to bo only part of the In
juries inflicted by tho locomotive.
A week before his examination. Pier
son, it was brought out In the examina
tion, was compelled by - the fraternity
men to crawl the length of the village,
goaded behind by men with sticks and
clubs, and that this treatment developed
deep abscesses on his knees. The ban
dages which Dr. Workman placed about
the sores were on the body when It was
found.
Newbold L. Plerson, of College Hill,
Cincinnati, father of the dead student,
was given a most rigid examination and
was compelled to describe tho customs
which fraternities use when Initiating
candidates. He testified that his son left
the college alone, and he was positive
that he was not tied on the track. He
said that the members of the Delta Kap
pa Epsllon Fraternity remained at the
college almost an hour after the boy
had been sent to the bridge before they
went after him, and for that reason he
knew that his son was not tied. He took
all the blame for shipping the body to
Cincinnati by special train, without first
notifying- the Coroner.
Members of the D. K. E. Fraternity
who were in Gambler Saturday night, and
who had charge of Pierson's initiation,
were examined. They stated that Pler
son had been ordered to go to the rail
road bridge alone, and that he was not
led there by any one. They said they
went after the boy about half an hour
afterward and. found his mangled body
on the bridge.
Ton students have been served, with
subpenas to testify at the Inques tomorrow.
'END DINGLEY AGREEMENT
Germany "Will Clear "Way for New
Tariff Treaty.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 3. Baron Speck
von Sternberg, the German Ambassador,
is expected to present in a fow days to
the State Department tho basis upon
which" his government is willing to enter
upon negotiations with the United States
Government for a new trade treaty or
some kind of an arrangement that will
stave oft the dreaded "tariff war" which
otherwise the department officials fear
must surely, begin within four months.
The State Department has so far failed
o admit the German contention regard
ing the "arrangement" under section 3
of the Dlngley act, by the terms of which
the United States secured favored nation
treatment In the jmatter of trade with
Germany. This German view was based
on the fact that new treaties, exclusive
in terms, had Just been made with a num
ber of European countries, and that
America was debarred from claiming the
benefits of the special low customs rates
named unless she entered into special
convention with Germany. But attention
has been called to the fact that this
Dlngley act "arrangement" is by its own
terms terminable upon one month's no
tice from either party, and It is not doubt
ed that without prolonging the controver
sy over the effect upon the vitality of
the Dlngley act "arrangement" of the
European treaties, Germany will give the
requisite month's notice before March 1
next, and thus terminate the life of the
arrangement beyond question.
Nothing is officially known as to the
substance of Baron Sternberg's proposals.
WANT TO BE ON HONOR ROLL
Millionaires Draw Pensions and
Give Them to Charity.
"WASHINGTON. Nov. 3. Pensions
for millionaires is one of ihe new. de
velopments under the executive order
o last year making age the only dis
ability necessary for the granting of a
service pension.
According to Commissioner of Pen
sions Warren, the application of a
millionaire for a ponsion has been re
cently favorably passed upon. He does
not want the pension, according to the
Commissioner, on account of the mon
ey it carried with it, hut simply ' to
perfect his record of honorable serv
ice in the Civil War.
This view of the age disability or
der Sb being taken by many well-to-do
veterans who would not otherwise ap
ply for pensions. The fact that tbey
are eligible and performed the service
stipulated in behalf of the Govern
ment, and that the Government Is will
ing to recognize this service by a pen
sion and the accompanying records of
the same, make tho service pension a
desirable addition to family records.
The Commissioner does not look
upon these claims for pensions as an
undesirable burden for the Govern
ment to bear. He takes the view that
the money distributed Is used by the
applicant to relieve want. In tbe case
of the millionaire pension. . he has
knowledge that the recipient has Just
made a bequest of 1100.000 for benevo
lent purposes.

"State's Loss on Bank Shortage
Grows "With Investigation.
PITTSBURG. Nov. 3. Payment was
today made to State Treasurer W. L.
Mathews by the Equitable Trust Com
pany, the Mercantile Trust Company,
both of thlsclty, and the United States
Fidelity & Guaranty Company, of Balti
more, ot tho proportionate share agreed
upon by them of the bond to the Com
monwealth of Pennsylvania for the En
terprise National Bank ot Allegheny as
tl state depository. These payments
totalled 275,000. The total amount rep
resents the greatest possible sum for
which the surety companies could be
held liable aa equal bondsmen. The total
bonds of the bank ns & state depository
amount to $3, 00.000. of which 1900.000
was In surety bonds of the three com
panies and 32,500,000 in individual bonds
of the directors. The total state deposit
was -$1,032,000. Each surety company
paid to the state treasury a part of the
state deposit, proportionate tp its share
of the valid bonds of the bank.
All three companies folly expect to get
their money back. Tbey hold, and their
stand is based on the advice of the best
lawyers obtainable, that the directors
must pay their individual bonds before
the sureties can be called on for a cent.
The individual bonds of the directors
constitute a much larger sum than the
state deposit of $1,632,000. and these
bonds are held to be absolutely valid.
The surety companies, by paying their
proportionate share, make It tho duty of
the State Treasurer to sue the directors
on their individual bonds. The validity
of the directors bonds will then be de
cided and the surety companies Intend
to demand the return of the payments
made today.
Judge Oldham, legal adviser of the
Comptroller or the Currency "Rldgley. said
today that the shortage was greater than
$1,590,000. Xcw liabilities are being dis
covered and no one can say when the
last debt will have been discovered.
"Very, little of the missing money or
securities has been recovered," said
Judge Oldham. "From what has been
revealed in the investigation not a sus
picion of blame attaches to the direc
tors." He says the depositors will probably
not receive 10 per cent-
Flfty-flve thousand dollars was taken
in at the bank today by Receiver John
Cunningham. Fred Gwynner. Its presi
dent, paid his assessment of $17,500.

FOOD DOES IT
Curious How Right Food Rebuild Kodr-
The benefits of the good, red blood
made by Grape-Nuts food Is described in
a letter from Chicago:
"I was for years sadly afflicted with
hemorrhoids caused by constipation,
which was the result of impure blood sup
piled by food not adapted to the needs of
the body under certain conditions. My
trouble extended to rectal hemorrhoids,
which greatly, reduced roy strength. A
surgical operation gave ma no relief and
I was compelled finally to quit business.
"Luckily. Just when things were look
ing the blackest, some one recommended
Grape-?uts iooa as a aesiraaie aruue ot
diet, and I began (December. IKE) its
use. and in a few months brought my
health back to me.
"The action of my bowels Is free and
regular now, and this has brought relief
from the hemorrhoids. At the same time
a neurotic trouble which had been grow
ing on me and which the doc tore could
never da anything with, has also disap
peared. All this return to health I am
free to say I owe to Grape-Nuts food.
