Bulls Are Brought In Kqulty to Qalet
the Title to Certain Indian
Lands and Town
Lots.
Another butch of summons for the ap
pearance of defendants in the Oklahoma
town lot and land fraud deals has reached
the office of the United States marshal In
Omaha. The specific case cited In this
instance la that of the United States
against J. H. Adkins and fifty-four other
defendants, but one of whom who happens
to be a resident of Nebraska.
The suits against these parties are equity
suits and are for the purpose of Quieting
title to certain Indian land and town lots
in Oklahoma In which the defendants were
Induced to invest while Oklahoma was still
a territory. Most of these defendants dis
covering the fraudulent nature of the
scheme, sbrogated their contracts, but their
titles even though fraudulent they being
Innocent rarties to the deal still remain
as clouds upon the titles of the Indian
owners of the land and the suits are in
stituted In the United Ststes circuit court
at Muskogee, Okl., to clear these clouds
to title.
Assistant Attorney General S. R. Hush
of Omaha Is now In Oklahoma and will
assist in the trial of the cases.
Oklahoma and Instruct the sixteen persons
to appear before the grand Jury at Musko
gee, January 21, as witnesses In connection
with suits to annul the title to certain
lands, said to have been fraudulently ob
tained. Government officials have visited
Hustings twice since last October to secure
affidavits from persons here that they did
not reside in Oklahoma; that they had not
authorized any one to uppiy for a lot for
them; that they had received a letter from
Walter It. Eaton Informing them that he
had applied for a lot in their name, and
that he had sent the deed to the Hastings
City bank, where it was quit-claimed back
to him.
Eaton Refuses to Talk.

from a half dozen eastern states to tes
tify before the federal grand Jury in the
secret inquiry into the alleged Indian
land frauds. The hearing will begin here
next Tuesday. Walter II. Eaton, business
associate of Governor Haskell, was shown
an Associated Press dispatch today to
the effect that sixteen witnesses were
coming from Hastings, Mich., to testify,
but refuxed to make any comment. Mr.
Eaton was formerly a resident of Hast
ings, and It is Inferred the government
will attempt to prove by these witnesses
that Eaton used them as "dummies" in
making schedules for town lots in
Muskogee in the years 1100 and 1901.
Eaton is secretary of the Indlanola Con
tracting company, of which Governor
Haskell Is president, and which owns
many town lots.

cation dealing especially with the stock
control of the various roads of the coun
try. The records of seventy-four of the lead
ing roads have been examined and the com
mission Is now able to give the main facts
concerning these roads. This is tho first
time the commission has made this kind
of a call from the railroads ana the pur
pose Is farreachlng. It will enable the
commission to find the real key to some of
the railroad situations. When Prof. Adams
has completed his task ho should be able
to name quite accurately who Is the real
power In control of the railroad situation
and determine positively whether it Is Har
riman, Hill, Morgan or Gould.
No Dunbt He Is Kins.
"From the reports so far examined there
seems no doubt that liarrlman is the real
king and is the man the commission is
looking for,' says the taper. "Ho holds
practically all the Oregon Short Line, the
majority of the Southern Pacific stock,
mora of the Great Northern than does J.
J. Hill and Is a substantial hnldr-r In the
Northern Pacific, another Hill line. He
holds many other valuable railroad prop
erties and has a strong Interest in the
Vnderbllt lines.
"Harrlman's holdings in the Oregon Short
I.lne amounts to the par value of $-7,3M,.
709. In tho Southern Pacific his holdings
are $75,695,000 common and $50,000,000 pre
fentd. In the Union Pacific he holda $10,-
4"5.0fi0 common and $:2,60O preferred, besld-s
the holdings of the firm of Harriman 4 Co.
"The manner In which the Harriman sys
tem of control Is kept on the books la
shown by a note submitted with the list of
ten largest shareholders by the Southern
Pacific. The note states that all of the
1 006,960 shares In that company held in the
name f Mr. Harriman 111, 430 of the shares
appearing in the name of Kuhn, Ixieb &
Co., S.soO shares In the name of S. Sleg
man. and 15,700 shares In the name of E.
8. Etelnam, are owned in fact by the
Oregon Short Line. A note filed by the
Oregon Short, Une states that, besides the
bhaiea In the name of Mr. Harriman, there
is only one other blcrk, of nb ut 1,0m)
shares, all the remainder of the stock
being held by Individuals In one-share lots.
Another note states that. In r.ddltlon to
this ownership of the Southern Pacific, the
Oregon Short Line owns 96.58 per cent of
the Oregon Railroad and Navigation company.
