Oetermann was recalled when Good

In connection with the formation of

New names, those of IT. II- McCourt.

retary Ward, of the Memphis Company.
At the suggestion of Mr. Buker. I had

New Company Is Organized.
Tlie witness lhen went into details of
the history of he organization of the
Memphis Car Repair Company. He

said there was room for another car re

was toM to Issue stock to Mr. Rawn
and Mr. Harrlman."
Overman then said car repair com
ranies iald certain Illinois Central offi

made "precr-nts"' of varying size to all
grades of employes for vigilance In de
tecting and reporting "bad order" cars,

Interested in the alleged grafting.
STATE CONTROL IS WANTED

the National Government.
"We believe that every legitimate
means should be adopted in the control
of public lands to eradUMe or lessen
the evil of monopoly, but fall to find
In any of the remedies by advocates of
the leading system how this can be ac
complished by changing the present
jaws so as to take from the eltisens a

Mining Work Hampered.
The report goes on to say tht In
many Instances the administration of
the rules of the Forest Service have
discouraged mining and prospecting,
and have hampered miner and pros
pector In their lawful vocation.
It i recommended that a spirit of
greater harmony and co-operation be
tween the miner and the Government
obtain, and that the law of the pubUc
domain be administered without bur
densome and discouraging departmental
rules. The action of citizen who lo
cate fictitious mining claim to obtain

but unqualified opposition Is voiced to
all withdrawals of metalliferous min

The report ends with a resolution
that the American Mining Congress be
lieve that the best Interest would be
conserved by state regulation and con
trol of all natural resources within the
boundaries In the very largest measure
compatible,, with the present Federal
statutes.
A surprising discovery, the report
goes on to say. I that the Interest
most frequently charged with fraud are
the most Insistent supporter of the
proposed leasing system, to which the
committee voices' opposition, with the
statement that the establishment of the
leasing system in the coal fields would
amount to confiscation, or the monop
oly of the coal fields by the(big Inter

opening of the coal fields to supply
fuel to the Pacific Coast and the Amer

Government announced that under the
restrictions laid down by the court It
would be unable to make out a case
against Haskell or any of his co-defendants.
Governor Haskell and three other de
fendants were charged In an Indictment

conspiracy to defraud the Government
In the disposal of town lot sites at Mus
kogee. Okla. It was charged that by
the false registration of the names of
persons scattered over the country, they
secured title to about 600 lots.
The dismissal of all of the cases to
day was attributed by the Government
attorneys to their inability to confine
their proof to the penoa of limitation
as fixed by Federal Judge John A. Mar
shall. Judge Marshall said the Circuit Court
of Appeals' decision under which he
was bound to rule was in some particu

HINDUS HAVE HOOKWORM
Good Cause Found for Exclusion of
Vndeslrnble Immigrants.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 29. (Spe,
clal.) It leaked out today that Immi
gration officials at this port have dis
covered that Hindus, who have been
flocking into this country from Hong
kong, are afflicted with hookworm
and that they can be excluded because
they have this contagious disease. Dr.
W. "w. Glover, at the Angel Island im
migration station, has experimented
with cultures from many anemic Hin
dus and finds that all show the pres
ence of the hookworm.
Of 17 Hindus now at the station un
der observation, all except five have
hookworm. It is probable that not only
the Hindus, but all Oriental immigrant
may be excluded because they are af
fected with this disease.
It Is known that several Chinese who
have "been observed recently have
shown traces of the hookworm. The
Hindu Influx has alarmed the Wash
ington authorities but no method of
stopping it could be suggested until
Dr. Glover made this discovery of the
hookworm. The Hindus have been ar
riving here at the rate of 300 a month
and no less than 1500 have recently
sailed from Calcutta, for the United
states and Canada.
