CHEYENNE. Wyol. Feb. 10. (Special.)
Contest eases Involving nearly 10.000 acres
"f valuable coal, lands In Big Horn county.
Wyoming" valued at tl.SPO.OOO. will begin
Trlday In the1Lhndoi' (Wyo.) United States
land office, when sixty-four defendants ap
pear to answer to summons filed by the
government.; The cases., which are the
most Important ever heard before a land
.office ip .this, state, have attracted wide
attention, not only on account of the large
values Involved, but also because some ot
Yfew York's moat prominent men are In
Vdlved ' either ' as operators of the coal
mines or entrymen on the coal lands,
which the government alleges have been
filed upon Illegally.
The cases Involve 9,500 acres of rich coal
lands lying In the Oebo , and Lander coal
districts In Big Horn county, Wyoming,
which the government alleges have been
filed upon by false and dummy entrymen
In a conspiracy to defraud the government
for the benefit of the Owl Creek Coal
company and the Northwestern Coal com
pany, wh'ch are rumored to be connected
with th Burlington railroad.
Value Million and a Half.
Government experts have appraised thess
lands at a valuation of fiEO per acre, which
would make tha total valuation Involved
in the cases nearly J1.MO.000.
, The cases now on trial have grown out
of investigations which the government
hss been making for th last three years
Into the alleged' fraudulent entries mad
oa these lands In IMS,' both criminal and
clrll actions having been filed by the gov
ernment. A recent Injunction case .was
brought before the Ignited States court at
Cheyenne by the government. In which an
effort was .made to eorapel the Owl Creek
Ceal company to discontinue operations on
the- Oebo coal mines until the title to the
.lands has been determined. A temporary
restraining order ' was granted, by which
tha Oebo coat mines olosed down and about
1,000 men were thrown out of employment.
William T. Adams, register,' and Robert
R. Heron, receiver of the land office at
Ladder, have beea disqualified from hear
ing tha oases, as they are witnesses In the
cases, and John A. Williams, a law ex
aminer of 'the land office, and Captain
Oeorge H. Hair, chief of the field (division
of the Salt Lake City land 'office, have
been appointed temporary register and re
ceiver to hear the eases. Able legal talent
has been employed on both' sides and many
witnesses have been summoned from New

In connection with the civil cases against
the entrymen on - ccai lands which the
government claims were cbtatned by !'

Butter Stealing- Condemned.
Andrew Roxeboom of Hartley, a wealthy
dealer In produce, will have to rely on the
Parole Board for shortening his five-year
term of . service in prison for the larceny
of butter' from a rival shipper of butter.
He complained of - the sentence being ex
cessive, but the court refers this to the
Parole Board, which has power to reduce
the term. Roseboom was putting some
Kuter of Ms own In a car at Hartley,
there being In the same car some butter
In tuba which had been loaded at Rock
Valley. Roseboom rolled a . few of the
other tubs over to where hla shipment was
located and changed the tags and labels.

posed hideous defect in the fundamental
law.
- Fla-ht Wow In legislatures.
"Now the scheme and plan Is to defeat
the amendment. Having as a law-making
body solemnly accepted this construction
of the constitution, thereby making It Im
practicable again to appeal to the court, if
this amendment can be defeated, this, the
government of the people, for the people
and by the people, 'will stand alone among
all tho civilized nations of the earth shorn
of tho power to tax that form of wealth
best able to bear the burdens of govern
ment. "That Is the scheme and plan, and such
men as the great governor of New Tork
is giving them great aid and comfort. Men
say with great fervor of patriotism, 1 am
In favor of this power being given to the
government to be used at least in time of
war,' and straightway proceed to help de
feat the amendment If those who are the
real enemies of this measure would come
Into the open Its friends could deal with
them far more successfully.
J'Mr. President, no one ever saw this
country tn Just the oondltlon It Is today.
Never since this government waa launched
has there been such a restless spirit among
the great mass of the people, such ugly
questioning, such persistent Inquiry. No
part of the government seems to escape
challenge or criticism, and It is fast be
coming popular to scoff at the constitution
Itself. An unquiet, dissatisfied, suspicious
public mind Is the publio mind of today.
Sees Defeat for Amendment.
"Tou can defeat this amendment. In
view of the class of men who are Joining
the crusade against it I think you will de
feat It The forces which propose to en
compass Its defeat- will not stop on the
hither side of the most disreputable meth
ods to accomplish their purpose. But
when the people learn what you have really
done, the manner In which this has been
manipulated. It will go far toward excit
ing to renewed force that feeling of wrath,
of class hatred already too strong among
us. It will do much , to foster disrespect
for and breed disloyalty to tho govern
ment. When those who are ill able to
meet the burdens' of -.government see Its
enormous , expenditures continue to In
crease, larger-armies" and larger navies,
increased . burdens'jjaverywhere, and learn
furthermore tha ll.this must be met by
a tax on consumption while incomes
which sustain. -luxury- and breed idleness
and Idiocy go untkxed they will have little
mercy with you lh the hour-. In which you
must plead with tliem against radical
changes in the government I do not know
how long we can deal with a patient peo
ple In this way. - But I venuture to prophesy,
not much- longer."
"I hope, therefore, the governors and legis
latures of this country will be brave
enough to do their duty In this matter. It
Is time the people In this broad land be
stir themselves upon this vital question
before It is too late, to do so. It would be
nothing less than a catastrophe If this
amendment should be defeated. If we are
going also to be tut Vjff from an appeal to
the court. This Is In every sense the peo
ple's fight"
Conclusions of Senator Borah.
Senator Borah outlined his conclusions
as follows:
1. That the proposed amendment adds
nothing to the taxing power of the na
tional government. This power waa com
plete, unfettered, plenary, before. It can
be no more than that should the proposed
amendment be adopted.
2. The proposed amendment does not deal
or propone to deal with the question of
power, which Is already complete, but
simply with the manner and method of Its
exercise and use of that power.
S. No one has ever questioned the power
Of the national government to lay an In
come tax, for as was . said by Justice
White, the question has always been
"whether an admittedly unlimited power
to tax has been used according to the in
struction as to method.",.jnd It was to
remedy the method alone that the amend
ment waa substituted.
4. The words "from whatever snnrea"
add nothing to the force of the amend
ment, it would, m constitutional parlance,
be Just the same -If It said "to lay and col
lect taxes on Incomes without apportion
ment" for who could then say that you
would not hove the right to lay taxes upon
all Incomes. The present taxing power
would not be a particle stronger If it said
to lay and collect taxes upon all property
from whatever source.
5. To construe the proposed amendment
so as to enable us to tax the Instrumental
ities of the state would do violence to the
rules laid down by the supreme court for
100 yexis, wrench the whole Institution from
its harmonious proportions and destroy the
object and purpose for which the whole
Instrument was framed.
0. To cpnstrue It to cover thoe In
comes from sources within the Jurisdiction
and control of the sovereignty laying tho
tax is to construe it In harmony with the
principles given us by Marshall and fol
lowed from that hour to this.
Senator Brown Will Speak.
At tho conclusion of Mr. Dorah's speech
Senator Brown requtsted that the ques
tion lie on the table In order that he
might have an opportunity to pp ak on It.
He said he hoped the amendment would
be favorably acted upon by the states re
gardless of Its effect upon the sala les
of state officers and state seturl;?a. He
thought that the fact tl at the amendment
makes no exception in favor of anvcn
might commend It to the puhlto and he
expressed the opinion that the amendment
would be acoepted.

Judge Swayse's charge that a combination
to store food stuffs for the purpose of ad
vancing the price is an overt act, the Hud
son oounty crand jury today continued its
Investigation of the big cold storage ware
houses of Jersey City,
In view of the court's decision that an.',
combination to raise prices is a conspiracy.
Prosecutor Garven counts on securing In
dictments that ha believes will check the
system whereby high prices are maintained
In season and out.
Agitation In New York City against high
meat prices has simmered down and the
only measure now In view locally is the
cold storage regulation ordinance before
the board of aldermen. No action on this
measure Is probable for a week at least.
Meat prices remain about stationary.
