has sel

the history of

scandal that has In
volved so many poli

western land frauds
In the battle against
thieves and grafters
who sought to enrich
themselves at the
expense of Uncle

cause those under suspicion always
have Influential friends who seek to ex
ert political pressure against a full and
free examination Into the subject It
is charged that the people of the Unit
ed States have been cheated out of
thousands of acres of land valued at
millions of dollars by the crooked
schemes concocted by men organized
to perpetrate wholesale frauds
These frauds have been going on for
years but they at last reached a pass
where herculean efforts were plainly
necessary to stop them and Secretary
Hitchcock proved the man for the task
Stealing government land had become
such a common and apparently respect
able offense that there was danger lest
the public become entirely oblivious
of the Immorality of the act As a re
sult of the campaign against land
frauds a United States senator John
II Mitchell and a congressman John
N Williamson have been tried and
convicted in Oregon and another Ore
gon congressman BInger Hermann is
under indictment Indictments against
other lending politicians In Oregon have
been found Twenty seven men have
been Indicted for land frauds In Idaho
and several indictments for similar of
fenses have been found In California
In Nebraska South Dakota and Kan
sas the secretary of the Interior Is en
gaged in prosecuting politicians and
others for violating the fencing laws
Something of the spirit that dominat
ed the ancestor for whom he was

ETHAN AIiLEN HITCHCOCK
ed animates the quiet but determined
business man at the head of the Interior
department He Is a great grandson of
Colonel Ethan Allen of Revolutionary
fame the hero who commanded the
Green Mountain boys and who cap
tured Fort Ticonderoga In the name
of the great Jehovah and of the Con
tinental congress Lucy Allen daugh
ter of the Vermont hero married Judge
Samuel Hitchcock one of the foremost
men of New England In his day and
their son Henry moved from New Eng
land to Alabama where he practiced
law and rose to the position of chief
justice of the supreme bench of the
state He was the father of the pres
ent secretary of the Interior who was
born in Mobile in 1S35 He has been
described as an Anglo Saxon of Ver
mont parentage and Alabama birth a
Yankee and a nouthenuj born of a
northern father and a souuiern mother
a business man of Missouri who be
lieved in Lincoln Grant and Sher
man
During his boyhood Secretary Hitch
cock lived in Alabama Louisiana
Tennessee and Missouri and in 1SG0
went to China to engage in business
remaining there twelve years On his
return to Missouri he became Identi
fied with large manufacturing enter
prises and amassed a considerable for
tune President McKlnley appointed
him minister to Russia and as the le
gation at St Petersburg was raised to
the status of an embassy shortly after
he arrived at his post he became the
first American ambassador to the court
of the czar Mr McKlnley invited him
in lb0 to take a seat in his cabinet
as head of the Interior department and
President Roosevelt has continued him
in office and gives him hearty support
in the war against the land grabbers
When Secretary Hitchcock assumed
his present post he found at the head
of the land office an important branch
of his department BInger Hermann of
Oregon Mr Hermann was born In
Maryland In 1843 and removed to Ore
gon a3 a young man and took up the
practice of law He served in the Ore
gon legislature and was elected to con
gress and was serving his sixth term
when Mr McKlnley in 1897 appointed
him commissioner general of the land
office His policy and acts were not
satisfactory to Secretary Hitchcock
who in 1903 requested his resignation
