HITCHCOCK DEFENDS
PRESIDENT'S POLICY
Secretary of Interior Presents a Remarkable
- Plea to Prove the Sincerity of Administration :
in Prosecuting the - Land - Frauds.
Cam Da lan attacks upon Freatdeat

.1 dally upoa the Boiler adopted In tti

reasons assigned for a rather ramark

for Ila object the steeling of vast areas
of timber landa In the Pacific coast
- state, tha Indictments against the
Benson-Hyda ring and tha pandlnK

" . oan be submitted to federal grand Juries
and the secretary maliea toe asaertion
, that lean than acres hare been

no danger of further loas of it puwio

V tlon race ires eolor from tha tenor of
tha statement, which la several impor
. tant points la lacking In tha frankneaa
' which haa characterised aome of tha
secretary's peat utteraneea on tha aama
eubjeot. There la an attempt w mini
mlae tha loan of publlo landa which
, must result from tha frauds that have
bee, practiced, and the assurance uiai

of tha land and timber thieves, out ra-
tinitM that tha a-overnment cannot
ln anv aaver thoae already patented.
for the reason that the Issuing- of pat
ante upon all other auapeoted entries
haa been suspended. If the government
: eould prove fraud la all eaaea where tna
regularity of the antriea la vnoer sua
, piclon, and If It did In faot make euea
v- nmAf an4 definitely refuse to grant pat

But aa a matter of fact, actual proog of

The statement of Becretary Hltcbeoek
given out In Washington. D. 1 la

. ' Charges are being made and freely
etrculated by the opponents of the ad-

r conducted; that criminal prosecutions

"While only about 11 months have
elapsed since the investigation waa com
menced, the practical reaulta thua far
attained are both gratifying and encour

Bplraey are Hyde and Benson and theirj fording the city some protection. Prom
achem to defraud the government waa
of glgantla proportions. It Involved an
attempt te secure titles to hundreds of

secretary's direction the further issuing

and all such eeteetlons and antriea ware

the fact that one 'of the principal wit
