REGULATIONS ALLEGED TO BE STRICT Speaker Sara latrrlor Department Ilaa Slnnrieren; Settler of the Weat . and Kxerclses Power Tint I,raral. WASHINGTON, Jan. SO. Besides fixing February 20 as tha dute to vote on the declaration that Senator Reed Smoot of Utah Is not entitled to his seat, passing a bill appropriating J2.OU0.00O to confine the . Colorado river to Its banks and another placing the management of the Panama railway under the Isthmian Canal com mission, the senate today listened to an extended speech by Senator Carter of Montana In criticism of the secretary of th. interior and another by Senator Hey tmrn to tha same end. The recent order of the secretary prevent ing the Issuance of patents to the public lands until after an examination on the ground by a ppeclal agent was the sub ject of criticism and many senators from western states by casual Interruptions showed their approval of the Bentlments expressed. Senator Carter Spenka. Severe criticism of Secretary Hltchcocl. was mads by Senator Carter of Mon tana. The criticism was bued on the order of the secretary of last December, which prohibits the issuance of a patent to land under any of the land laws until after ex umlnntlun on the ground by a speclul agent. Senator Carter some time ago presented a resolution, which denlea tbe right ot any executive officer tu prevent the granting of a patent, when the law under which It Is claimed has been carried out. Mr. Carter began by averting that the order referred to expressed the final estimate of the secretary as to the truth and veracity, the honor and Integrity and the gnod faith of' all settlers on the public domain of tho United States. "It likewise arraigns." he added, "all other persons seeking title to public land under existing laws," and continued: The order is without precedent In the history of the government. It is without parallel in the history of any government save us applied to provinces, classes or In dlviduiils sUMnected of trensonxhln designs. It Is tho culmination of a policy unwar ranted In fact and founded only on baseless suspicion. The public records demonstrate that the order is not needless but harsh cruel and oppressive. M-un tluunl Iteporta. For the past six years sensational re ports of evil doings in the public land states have been emanating from the In terior department from day to day, so sweeping In their scope as to creHte tho impression in other section that the en tire western ponubitiou is. and has been engaged, in a veritable saturnalia of crim inal conspiracy, fraud and perjury, over the whole broad surface of the public aomain. .since isui insidious interviews and boisterous proclamations have nnsxed from tho Interior department to the public pross MrtlU.lintf .... ull il..,U.. .,.-,..1. lands. The words "grafters," "land grab bers," "conspirators, "looters cf the public domain." and like terms have become a part of the vernacular of the aeeretary's othrse In referring to public land entrymen of all kinds. The routine work of the land service has been pill iged In quest of Items for publication reH-etlng on Individuals and communities. The slightest irreg ularity, savoring of scandal or possible serration has been Uitlxentiv exploited be fore, during and after Investigation. Every one was Indicted and no acquit Uls were ever recorded In these scandalous reports. The exploitation of evil reports has been a conspicuous feature of tbe present sec retary's administration. tihould some morbid, moral delinquent pay nljthtl visits to the dens of vice and inake morning calls at the police courts 'n all your snlendld eastern cities, and then announce to the world from dsv to dav with loud acclaim that crime and moral leprosy overwhelmed you all, he would, at hla pitiable best, play In your field the part the secretary of the Interior has plaved as regards the people of the public land states. Many Charaea Infnunded. Kxcluding the tlmnered area of the north west, the people of everv locality In the country concerned well knew that as to their locality the oft-repated charges of the secretary were unfounded to any justi fiable extent, but they supposed, being In possession of the public records, that that official knew of flagrant violations of the law In other sections. If frauds were beln perpetrated In the acquisition of public land the settlers of everv loinl'.jy li. the west desired them stopped and the per petrors punished. As to their several ni'lKlTiors, residents generally knew the 3) On. II I Ij. RYE, AND "THE BEST."

The fact that every rrauauienv transac tion complained of was initiated and con summated under the administration of the present secretary waa not given publicity. I realise that even the president of the lTnlted States has " heen deceived and alarmed by the oft-repeated and uncontra dicted reports. He has relied on the re ports of the secretary of the Interior, aa nave the people generally outside the suites to which his accusations apply. The presi dent and all others, misled by the crusade of misrepresentation, are clearly free from responsibility, except to hear the tenth as told by the government records and then to do Justice to an outraged people. Measuring my words with care, I say the order of the honorable secretary of De cember 18 last Is unjust and oppressive and the records of the Interior department do not furnish Justification for the order, but, on the contrary, these records demon, strate that tbe order la not only unjustified, but clearly Indefensible as to homestead settlers. Percentage of Fraud. Mr. Carter ' presented and analyzed the records of entries and patents Issued under the various land laws, which he summed up by saying: It will appear from a critical analysis of the figures and facts that not to exceed one-half of 1 per cent of the final home stead entries, less than 1 per cent- of the final desert land entries, le3S than one half of 1 per cent of the final timber and stone entries and less than 1 per cent ot the final coal entries are round to be fraud ulent, and the percentage of mineral en tries tainted with fraud Is small Indeed. Taking the whole aggregate of percentage together, and ngunng out rmm these per centages the average, we wl'l find that less than one final entry of nubile land out of every hundred has been found In all the vears to he subject to cancellation on ac 'ount of fraud or delinquency Of any kind. As to the homestead settlers, there Is but one delinquent substantially In every 300 mini riui y inrn, Suspected at every turn In the road of evil design, hasrassed by special agents and exasperating requirements of tho In terlor denartment. It Is not sumrlslnir that two honest homeseekerg left the United States to locate In Canada during the year 116 to one that filed a homestead entry on the public domain or tne t'nitert states; OUTPUT OF PACKING HOUSES Supply of Moara Does Not Show Increase Expected In Some (Vaartera.

CROW 3 WHISKEY "RYE" in red on label. , Distributers fljjey Dros,'i Cr Omaha TITE OMAIIA ELEVEN JURORS IN THE BOX Panel for Thaw Trial Will Probably Be , Completed This Moraine. JEROME WILL OPEN FOR THE STATE Proaeentlosi Will Call But Few " M nesseato Prove Shootlnsr, Then Defense Mast Disclose Ita Plans. NEW YORK, Jan. 30. There was but a single vacant chair In the Thaw Jury box when court adjourned today, and It is ex pected that tomorrow afternoon at tha latest District Attorney Jerome will begin his opening address to a completed Jury. Then the defendant, his wife and all the members of his family who are able to be In court must listen to the story of the roof garden tragedy, told In all Its dra matic detail and Impressively as lies within the power of the prosecuting rifTicer to por tray It. Just how far back he will delve Into the history of the principals In the famous case no one but Jerome knows. He has not related the plans of his open ing' address to anyone, though it has been Intimated authoritatively that the direct evidence of the prosecution will bo of the briefest possible character, dealing only with the Incidents leading up to the killing and the story of the tragedy Itself as seen by eye witnesses. One or two witnesses may be heard as to the alleged motive of the crime. It remains for the defense to open the way to testimony which has to do with any relations which may have existed between Stanford White and BVelym Nes blt prior to the slaying of the architect. Thaw's attorneys probably will not reply to Mr. Jerome, tomorrow, reserving their opening until the state has finished Ita case. ' Two More Jarora Secured. Two Jurors were added to the trial panel today, making eleven In all. In an effort to complete the Jury - the attorneys ex hausted the second special panel of tales men summoned for the trial. A new panel of K) was ordered and will be In court to morrow morning. The twelfth Juror will be chosen from the new list and Bhold be In the box before recess. Sixty-five tales men were1 examined today, breaking all records of the trial thus far. The highest number of any previous day was fifty-one. One Juror was secured during the morning session and the other near the close of the afternoon sitting of the court. Harry C Brearly, an advertising agent. was the first talesman-to qualify. He took his place aa Juror No. 6, the chair made vacant by the dropping of Harold R. Falre from the Jury panel yesterday. Mr. Trear- ley told the attorneys for the defense that he had no prejudices whatsoever against a plea of insanity and that in Judging such a plea he would be guided by the principle of allowing the defendant the advantage of every reasonable doubt. The afternoon Juror, Henry I. Kleln- berger, a silk merchant, said he knew very little about the subject of . insanity and would have to he guided by the instruc tions of the court In arriving at a conclu sion on such a plea. He did not think hjs Judgment would be unduly swayed by sym pathy or emotion. Probable Plan of Defense. The manner In which Thaw's attorneys continue to dwell on the subject of insan ity In their examination of various tales men seemed to Indicate that a plea of temporary Insanity, which would be a legal defense, will- eventually be entered. In developing this claim that Thaw was In sane at the time of the tragedy, the de fendant s attorney may bring in siich de tails as they and the prisoner believe will Influence fhe sympathy of the men who may have an undeflled belief In the so called "unwritten law." There Is much speculation as to what course Mr. Jerome will pursue If Thaw's counsel begin to develop their plea of tem porary Insanity. Tie Is prepared to com bat their alienists, but there Is a possi bility that he may bring the proceedings to an abrupt halt and apply for the ap pointment of a commission to decide whether or not the defendant la Insane at the present time. Or he may let the mat ter be fought out In open court, expert for expert. In that event tee trial will, drag out to a great length. . Neither Mrs. William Thaw, the prison er's mother, nor his sister, the countess of Yarmouth, was In court today. The day opened stormy after a heavy snowfall and as both Mrs. Thaw and the countess are nursing colds, they decided not to risk their health today by being In court dur ing the dull process of selecting a jury. "Tell the newspaper men," Thaw said, "that I advised my mother and both my sisters to stay home today and take care of themselves." ( Mrs. Carnegie disobeyed the Injuctlon, however, and was present. Evelyn Nesblt Thaw and her companion, May McKenzle, were early In the court room. Judire Placea Ban on Artlata. . Justice Fitzgerald threw something of a bomb shell into the camp of the news paper artists by, announcing through the court officers that no more sketches should be , made during the trial. This came as a complete surprise. Artists from most of the principal eastern cities have been In court from day to day and have not been restricted hitherto In any way whatsoever. There was a wild story going the rounds of the criminal court building today to the effect that there was a fund of (100,000 for use In corrupting a Juror. . It was given no credence In responsible quarters. It was also stated that the tales men that are yet to be examined are under the surveillance of county detectives, but this could not be vertlflad. The statement of Harold R. Falre, on of the Jurors ex cused yesterday, that he could offer no ex planation aa to why be was replaced In the Jury box, was repeated on many sides today and It was rumcred that he might demand In court an explanation of the action taken In his case. For the first time the talesmen called this morning were asked specifically If they had been approached by any one In connection with the case since being summoned. All replied no. Heretofore talesmen have been asked whether they discussed the case with any one connected with the trial. BURNS GETS THE o"dD FALL Wins Two at Catch-ae-Catch-Cnn and Loses On at Greco-Roman Style.

Copley and Child Found Dead After H Barrel with llnsband, Who Makes No Explanation. WASHINGTON, Jan. 30. Washington po lice are today trying to solve the mystery as to whether Mrs. Amanda M. Copley and her three months old baby, Ruth, who was found dead in bed shortly after midnight, were murdered or whether Mrs. Copley shot the Infant and then committed suicide. The latter theory Is the explanation given by the husband, William O. Copley, a clerk In the census office, who Is held at a police station pending an Investigation. Lieu tenant Falvey after examining the wound which caused Mrs. Copley's death, said that It would have been next to Impossible for the woman to have Inflicted the Injury herself. Shortly after midnight Copley called In Dr. John & Dorsey, telling him that his wife had attempted to commit suicide. When the phyriclan arrived Mrs. Copley and the baby were dead. He Immediately notified .the police and the husband and father was placed under arrest. He was subjected to a severe examination at the police station, but Insisted that his wife had killed herself. The prisoner declared that he did not know the baby had been shot until Dr. Dorsey pulled down the covers of the bed In which the two were lying. Copley admitted that he and his wife had quarreled In the early part of the night and said that his wife had taken the two chitren, Raymond, 3-year-old, and Ruth, the babv, and gone to a room and that he wont to his room on the second floor to retire for the night. Copley Hears Shots. Shortly Defore midnight, he said, he heard two shots In the bedroom occupied by his wife and that he Immediately rushed Into the room and found that his wife had shot herself and without making a further ex amination he hurried to . the residence of Dr. Dorsey. Mr. and Mrs. Copley were married In Iowa and until they came to Washington In 1902 resided at Walnut, Pottawattamie county, near Council Bluffs. Copley Is 36 years old. He was a member of the Thirty-fourth Iowa regiment and served some time In the Philippines. Mrs. Copley was twenty-nine years old. Her maiden name was Amanda M. Bunker. Both have relatives In Iowa and Illinois. ' Persons living in the vicinity of the Copley homo said that it was not known that there had been any quarrel between Mr. and Mrs. Copley and that they had always appeared to be happy. Both were given excellent reputations by their neighbors. Coroner Nevitt was notified by the police and will hold an Inquest today. Copley was disinclined to tuake a state ment of the affair this morning. When asked for an explanation he aald: "I have nothing to say." This he re peated several times. In his manner he was calm, there being no trace of excite ment either In his speech or action. Raymond, the three-year-old on: is being cared for by friends of the family. He waa sleeping In a crib In his mother's room and was. not molested. As the official investigation proceed the belief gains ground that the case la one of murder and suicide. - GREAT SURPRISE AT WAI.HIT Fathers of Man and Wife Will do to Washlnirton. WALNUT, la.. Jan. 30. (Special Tele gram.) The report of the death of Mrs. Amanda Copley and her Infant child. With the arrest of her husband, created surprise in this place,' where the parties have re sided Blnce infancy and where they stood high In the estimation of the public. No more respected families live in the community than the Copleys and the Bunkers, there being large number's of both living in and around Walnut. Will Copley, in particular, was a popular, highly es timable young man. He came here from Illinois with his parents when he was but years old and resided here until he en listed in the Fifty-first Iowa at the out break of the Spanish war.

Why this enormous patronage ? The answer is simple: Cascarets are pure, clean, sweet, mild, fragrant, harmless but effective little tablets for the treat-, ment and cure of Constipation and all Bowel Troubles. They are put up in neat little enamel boxes, easy to buy, easy ta carry (in vest-pocket or purse), easy to take and easy of action, always reliable, always the same, they "work while you sleep and wake you up feeling fine in the morning. They not only regulate the movement and stimulate the musrnlar w!l of the bowels, but they keep the ENTIRE CANAL CLEAN and antiseptic, forcing out and destroying all disease germs that breed in the accumulated filth unless . promptly and regularly discharged. Therefore, they are a great preventive of disease, and may be taken continuously as precautionary measure. The new Purl Drugs Act, adopted by Congress on June 30, 1906, and in effect January 1, 1907, is a GOOD LAW and means better and PUKE drugs for tbe American People. We endorse it and will live up to it in SPIRIT and LETTKR an easy task, as we have always been actuated! by the same principles and no changes are required In our formula or pack age. We adopted OUR OWN PURE DRUG LAW in 1896 when the first, box of Cascarets came on tbe market and have lived and worked and pro duced under It ever since. , To-day,after a record cf nearly 100,000,000 boxes sold, Cascarets STAND . the greater in PURITY, QUALITY and MEDICINAL MERIT than any, other preparation for Bowel trouble in all the world. This should be a great argument for any one, to try Cascarets AT ONCE, and be healthier and happier for it. Some people have CHRONIC CONSTIPATION with all the horrors derived from it; others have HAB ITUAL CONSTIPATION from carelessness and neglect, but nearly EVERYBODY has OCCASIONAL CONSTIPATION,, which, if not promptly taken care of is liable to result in its degeneration into the worse) forms and cause great suffering and perhaps death. Cascarets, if taken patiently and regularly, will remedy all of these awful troubles, but if taken promptly at the very first sign of an irregular ity of the Bowels, will act as the FINEST PREVENTIVE ever discovered., and wiU keep aQ the machinery running in good order. 7Si We advise you to get a little 10c box of Cascarets TO-DAY and carry it in your purse or vest pocket. Take one when you feel anything unusual about your bowels. Your own druggist will sell you the little box, under GUARANTY of satisfaction or money refunded. All druggists, 10c, 25c, 50c.
