Never Said Big Corporations Ought to
Be Favored.
Washington, Nov. 20. Replying to
charges nuulo by a mngnzlne publica
tion, Secretary It. A. Ualllngor of the
Interior department took occasion to
deny many of tho reports' which re
cently lurve beeii circulated concern
ing the conduct of his department and
to explain others.
"To sny that I lmve ever advlson,
ordered or lent support to any offort
to perpetrate a fraud upon the .govern
ment," he said, " Is not only false, but
Is Intentionally so, If made by anyone
who has taken the trouble to Inquire
Into the facts."
Asked about a statement that he had
said that tho proper course to take
with the public domain was to "divide
It up among the big corporations and
let the people who know how make
money out of It," Mr, Balllnger replied r
"So asinine a statement hardly mer
its n denial. Of course I mado no such
statement. Such a thought could not
be entertained by any normal intelli
gence. "What I really think in regard
to the public domain and the conserva
tion of naturnl resources may be found
In my official reports as commissioner
of the general land office, and In my
present annual report, soon to be pub
lished. I have not only been consist
ently In tho vnnguard of the conserva
tion movement, hut I have sought to
give it permanence along lines reason
ably within the spirit of the present
law and to secure more adequate laws."

Omaha Police Commissioners
Preparing lor Hearing,
LQ30R IN THE CLUB ROOMS,
City Attorney of Lincoln Taking Steps
to Havo Injunction Cases Tried at
Once May Cause Arrest of Driver
of Beer Wagon In Order to Get Judg
ment of Supreme Court on the Mat
ter. Lincoln, Nob., Nov. 23. Jutigo J. J.
Sullivan and J. U. Halt of Omnhn havo
written to Governor Shallonberger
asking for a copy of tho charges filed
by the Anti-Saloon league against
Mayor Dnhlnian and the board of tiro
and police commissioners of Omaha,
charging non-enforcement of tho S
o'clock closing law; This Is taken
heie to moan that this firm will ropro
sent the mayor and the board and that
the latter Intend to ninko a light,
It is probable nothing will be dono
Iicim In the matter until tho hearing of
the hotel men and saloon keepers
charged with violating tho law is held
in tho police court. In case u convic
tion is secured, a hearing probably
will bo hold by tho governor here.
If City Attorney Flnnsberg has his
way about it, Lincoln is going to bo
dry for evoryono if It is dry for any
one. When the town went dry the
Elks, tho Enslcs and one or two other
organizations promptly scoured an in
junction restraining the police from
raiding the lodge rooms and they ue
gnn, or rether continued, to sore
tlrlnka to ths;r members. That Injunc
tion hns been hanging over the heads
ot tho police since last May and nothing
hns been dono to mako It porpotunl or
to try out tho case. Tho city attorney
hns Informed tho district court that
whilo ho would not recommend that
the police violate tho Injunction, but
he did insist upon a heating of the
case. If it can be brought about In
no othor way, then he will cnuso the
arrest of somo driver of a boor wagon
en route to one of tho clubs and gut
tho case tried out in thnt way.
Governor Shallenborger will make
no move to appoint 11 inomboi of the
state normal board to succeed Super
intendent Hays of Alliance for the
piesont. Tho govornor said he likely
would wait until the tlino had passed
for the llling of tho motion for a re
hearing in tho case, nnd when that
was filed and if tho couit decided not
to change its mind, l..ua would bo
time enough to name the successor to
Hays.
Representative Harrington of Brown
county was nt the state house trying
to locnte the new normal school at
Ainsworth. Mr. Harrington tried to
locate the school there lest winter by

with the governor, giving him to un
derstand that Ainsworth should have
the school.
