I- n I t i if '4 ft I 12 I 1 -Itf AFTER S. P. GRANTS BOTH SIDES READY. WORSETHAN OREGON Attorney General to Force Rail road to Sell Land. MUST PERFORM TERMS OF GRANT Will Ask Heney to Investigate Washington Land Frauds, Government Would Forfeit Southern Pacific Land Grants or Com pel Sale to Settlers. "Washington, May 4. There is no longer any doubt that the national ad ministration will exert ite powerful in fluence to break tho Southern Pacific land monopoly in Oregon and force that company to place on the market tho remaining 3,000,000 acres of its grant, selling upon demand to bona fide settlers in quarter-section tracts and at not more than $2.50 per acre, as specifically set forth in the law un der which the grant waa made. After several long conferences with Senator Bourne, Attorney General Bonaparte has directed District Attorney Bristol to make a thorough investigation into tho Southern Pacific grant, more prop erly known as the Oregon Central and Oregon & California grant. The government will "first determine whether the law under which the grants were made can be enforced with out fuither action on the part of con gress. If it is concluded that there is ample law, the government will then determine what is tho most practicable method of enforcing its provisions un less it shall be found that the grant was forfeited. From his talks with Mr. Bourne, the attorney general is fully aware of the difficulties of the problem ho has un dertaken to solve, and has directed District Attorney Nathan V. Harlan, of the third division of Alaska, to report to Mr. Bristol and aid him in eery way in his investigations. Mr. Harlan was in Nehratka on leave and desired employment before the expiration of his leave. Later on, it is understood, the de partment will investigate to determine whether or not sales heretofore made by the railroad in violation of the r.ro visions of the law can be invalidated At present, however, the main object is to force the Southern Pacific to put its land on the market and no longer re tard development along the line of its road. Men Now High In Public Confidence Snld to Be Implicated In Irregularltlos. .All Preparations Complete for Hay wood Trial at Boise. Boiso, Ida., May 3. Counsel for prosecution and dofenso in tho Stou nenberg murder caso havo,ee,ttlod down to their final preparatory work, and there is every reason for bollovlng that tho trial of William Haywood, first of tho accused men, will bo commenced SECRET SERVICE NOW AT WORK on Thursday next. Various reports as to movos tending to further delay tho trial aro in circulation, but the attitude of both sides indicates that they aro ready for trial. Tho only preliminary proceeding pending is a motion by tho dofenso for a bill of particulars of the ovldenco by which tbo stato hopes to show that Haywood conspired to the murder of Governor Steunenberg. This motion, which is designed to securo a disclosure of tho hand of the state, will be argued teforo Judtro Wood on Monday next. This is not regarded as likely to delay the trial. Tho Idaho codo and practice, modelled closoly upon those of Califor nia, mako no provision for bills of par ticulars in criminal cases, and in the only precedent recorded in the Idaho reports tho court denied the applica tion, holding that the power to require require tho furnishing cf bills cf par ticular? in general was discretionary with the court. It is asserted that no right of appeal goes with such a mo tion and neither side seems to regard the matter seriously. WANT COAL SECURED. ANOTHER GRAFT EXPOSED. San Francisco Public Worko Official in Toils of Heney. San Francisco, May, 3. Tho inquiry before the grand jury today doveloped the fact that a gigantic graft has been can led on by President George Duffey, of the board of public works. Duffey's graft was done through the rental of teams for the use of the city. In some cases tho expenditure for a team and driver went as high as $30 a day. Duffey was formerly a member cf tho board of supervisors and was one of the most active bribetakers of that aggrega tion. It is charged against Duffey that now, but these merely lift the cover off Seattle, May 2. Six Becrot sorvlco operatives aro working in Western Washington unearthing a series of land frauds that aro declared to bo moro astounding in thoir far reaching char acter than the discoverios rnado in Ore gon or California. A secret sorvico operative high in tho confidence of President Koosovolt has jnet boon sont to this coast to take charge of tho work and to aRsemblo tho ovldenco that has been accumulated for presentation to special officers of tho dopartuiont of Justice. It was declared today by a high gov ernment authority that whon all tho timber fraud evidence had been assem bled Francis J. Henoy will bo askod to como hero and duplicate ms success in convicting tho land thieves of Oregon. It is recognized that his San Franoieco work will occupy several weeks' further time, but tho work in Western Wash ington cannot bo completed beforo that time. Names that are being whispered in secret service circles indicate that when the net is Bpread it will bring In soino men now high in tho confidence of the public. Evidenco la declared to bo gathered that proves conclusively tho complicity of theso men, but some of the cases aro so old that they may bo able to hido behind the statute of limi tations. But even if this ia dono, tho government operatives will lot the story become known in some manner. There aro a few comparatively unim portant timber cases ready for trial Railroads Dread Another Famine and Want Dealers to Stock Up. Chicago, May 1 . Tho trafflo and oporatlng departments of tho Ilarrininn and Hill lines havo united in a Btronu ous effort to prevent a recurrence of a coal (amino next winter In tho West and Northwest. Orders lmvo been Is sued by tho highest olllalals of tho vari ous roads and havo tho sanction of 15. H. llatrlman and Jnmoa J. II 111 in quiring all of tho oillolals to niako ovory offort to induce tho coal dealers to lay in thoir winter's supply In tho Bummer months. Tho olllclals of tho railroad dread an other such coal (amino as occurred last winter, whon they wore blamed for the suffering and destitution which reigned in the West and Northwest for many wcoks. At that thno tho Interstate Commerco commission took tho pioh lorn In hand and issued orders which required the Hill roads to discontinue all other traffic until they succeeded ! getting coal to tho suffering peoplo alonu thoir lines. This proved an ox ponsivo oporation and tho railroads do not want a recurrence. Accordingly a personal ennvaa is be ing mado in all tho cities, and coal dealers aro boine personally urged to co- oporato with tho railroads in placing tho western c Mint ry beyond the poaai bility of another coal famine CUBANS MOB U.
