The plan of the alleged conspirators, as out- lined by the Government, was to obtain by illegal means titles to State school lands located in forest reserves in Cali- fornia and Oregon, and to relinquish the titles thus secured to the United States under the exchange provisions of the act of 1597, and to thus obtain patents from the United States for other lands outside of the reserves.

CALL «BUREAU,; POST BUILDI WASHINGTON, ' May -29.—As a safe- guard against,the timber frauds, that have been* practicéd by connivance in Oregon, Californiafand other timbered Sections of the West, thé Bureau of Forestry tosday ‘decided that a forestry officer may: exercise his rights under the ‘homéstead: and; desert land acts provided he intends:to make the claim his permanent-home.« With this excep- tion, farest officers will be barred from the privilege of entering or becoming interested directly or indirectly in any of the public . lands of the United States. During the investigation of the land frauds in Southern Oregon, in which Binger Hermann and Senator Mitchell are supposed to be involved, there was a deal of manipulation of a character, that ‘aroused the suspiclons of those interested in putting a stop to fraudu- lent transfers of public domains, espe- clally those of the timber sbelt. A further improvement of the lax service that” has heretofore obtained is the declared intention of the forest service to add a trained forester to the executive force of each reserve. In addition to his regular duties, he will act as an assistant in mapping, esti- mating and disposing of timber. For this service the following appoint- ments of forest assistants have been made: R. P. Ames and Seth Bullock, Black Hill reserve, South Dakota; E. H. Hereford to assist Supervisor Fred- erick S. Breen in the Black Mesa and Grand Canyon reserves of California, and A. R. Powers to assist Supervisor L. A. Barrett in the Plumas reserve of California. There is a well defined policy of the administration, apparently having its inception in complaints from farming districts, tending to put a stop to the indiscriminate cutting of redwood tim- ber in California.. The farming inter- ests have looked with apprehension on the increasing destructiofi of Califor- nian forests and are ready to show that the lumber -industry of .the State puts mitlions in the pockets of a very few at a minimum of cost for labor. Ten years of timber destruction at the present rate would do great injury to the watercourses of the State and ma- terially damage farm interests all over the fertile valle —_——— Army Orders.

THOMPSON REMOVED. — United States District Judge de Haven yesterday made an order for the removal of Arthur Thompson to Concord, N. H., where he is wanted to answer a charge of violation of the postal laws. wil Supreme Court Upholds the Four Hundred Statute Adopted Six Years; Ago in State of New York MILIIONS ARE INVOLVED Big Corporations Must Now Pay the Great Sums Which They Have Fought Against gt WASHINGTON, May 29.—The valid- ity of the special franchise tax law of 1899 of the State of New York, under which the. franchises- of mahy public utilities are subjected to ad valorem taxes,. was sustained by the Supreme Court of the United States in a decision handed down to-day. . The decision af- fects immense interests and it is stated that over $24,000,000 of unpaid taxes in Greater New York are made payable by the ruling. Justice Brewer deliv- ered the opinion of the-court. The cases have attracted much atten- tion front the time of their inception, not only because new principles of ta. ation Wwere involved in their settlement. but because of the large interests in- volvgd. They constituted a direct at- tack on the special franchise tax law of the ‘State of New York of 1899, when President Ropsevelt was Governor. The law subjects 'to a tem of general ad valorem taxation the special and local franchises of the public utilities, such as street cars, electric light, gas and telephone plants. The law was sharply assailed by Root & Guthrie, counsel for the corporations, as unconstitutional on the ground that it impairs the obligation of contracts under which the corporations acquired and own their franchises and that it operates to deny them the due process and the equal protection of the law as guaranteed by the fourteenth amend- ment. Among the companies affected and the sums due from them under the law are the following: The Manhattan Elevated Rallway Company, $4,221,951; Consolidated Gas Company, $1,489,96 Metropolitan Traction System, $6,0: 184; Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company. $2,222,656; Brooklyn Union Gas Com- pany Harlem Railroad Company, $984,024.

WASHINGTON, May 29.—Mojave, Cal., the much-despised in the days when Los Angeles was of*a bare 50,000 inhabitants, and which once came near being wiped off the map as an_express office and. postoffice. has come to the front as a place where Uncle Sam’s mail i3 handled in large quantities. To-day Mo- jave's postmaster's salary was raised from §1000 1o §1100 per vear in the annual read- Jjustment of postmasters’ salaries. Five years ago the salary was less than half this amount and ten years ago it was a trifiing commis- slon.

Taking advantage of the legal holi- day which will ceme to-morrow plans will be formed for extensively increasing the volume of delivefies to be made from |the lumber districts. The down-town i business houses where strikes exist have at present about 400 unemployed drivers. These they cannot use, on account of the inability of the police department to supply protection for them, and on Wed- nesday these men will be sent to the firms in the lumber districts which are in need of drivers and a strong and de- termined effort will be made to increase the volume of business dome in that section. The lumber dealers had 200 teams in operation to-day. Practically all of 'the teamsters em- ployed by the hardwood dealeys in the lumber district are now out and the soft lumber ‘@ealers are tied up, comparatively ‘speaking, with the exception of one firm, whick: continues to do business with union teamsters. Notwithstanding the shortage in lumber, the building contractors ex- there will be no strike among their men and no tie-up in the building industry. The May Grand Jury commenced to-day its inquiry particularly to that feature { money for an attempt to bring about a settlement of the difficulty by a number of the labor leaders. It was al§o pro- posed to inquire into the existence of an alleged blacklist against the striking ex- press wagon drivers. ‘The general agents of the express companies were subpenaed, but all of them informed the jurors that they had no knowledge whatever of the existence of a blacklist, nor did they know . of any measures or methods that drivers in other cties. : ————— BRIBERY CHARGE MADE Judge Stops Tridl of Accused Cashier in Iowa When Ready for Jury. SIOUX CITY, .I6wa, May 20.—One of the | most dramatic incidents in the history of crim- inal procedure in Northern Iowa occurred in the Federal court here to-day, when Judge Reed dismissed the jury because of an alleged attempt ‘at bribery, fined one juror and di- rected that an information be flled charging a prominent banker and politician with con- tempt of court. The trial.of W. E. Browne, cashier of the wrecked Storm Lake National Bank, for al- leged misappropriation of §100,000, was inter- rupted, and Juror James Carter of Sioux Rap- ids ‘and Banker Fred -Watkins -of Hawarden, | brother-in-law of Browne, were sharply ques- tioned relative to alleged . jury -tampering. They told conflicting stories and in the end Carter adm!'tted that "Watkins Had approached him In a saloon and volunteered to ‘“loan’ him $2300. The trial of Browne had been im progress for ten days and the case would have gome to the jury to-night. A new trial will now be necessary.
