BIG SUIT INVOLVES STEEL TRUST MINES MINERAL LEASES MAY BE VOIDED State to Attack Validity of Lease Law in Mabel Evans Suit. teel Trust Counsel Are Alarmed and Join Forces with Defendants. All Minnesota mineral leases and con tracts may become void as a result of the litigation over the Mabel Evans "sliver" lease. Attorney General E. T. Young, who is suing to set aside this particular con tract, on the ground of fraud, will also raise the point that the present mineral lease law is unconstitutional. Oppo sition lawyers found a hint of this in the state's complaint, and the mere pos sibility of setting aside their valuable state contracts started a panic in Steal trust circles. Kellogg & Severance of St. Paul, attorneys for the Steel trust interests, have gone into the case. When they taxed Atomey General Young with the intention of raising the constitu tionality of the law, he admitted it, and the counsel are now preparing for a great legal battle involving vast inter State Would Profit. The attorney general is convinced that it would be to the advantage of the state to knock out the present law, under which the fortunate lessees get ore any quantity and of any value, at the flat rate of 25 cents a ton. He will attack the law on the ground that the constitution requires all state school and swamp land to be sold at public Bale, while mineral leases and contracts are granted privately and without com petition, unless two or more happen to apply for the same piece at the same time. Section 2 of article 8 of the state constitution, relating to sale of school lands, provides "that no poition of said lands shall be sold otherwise than at fandsc iubli sale." Referring to swamp it says they "shall be appraised Jmd sold in the same manner." While mineral leases and contracts do not grant title to the land itself, the state will contend that they do give possession of the most valuable part of the land, and, in fact, about all that is valuable. Valuable Contracts Endangered. If the court agrees with the state's contention, it will terminate three val uable contracts held by the steel trust, covering the Grant mine, the Pool mine and the rich Missabe Mountain mine. With the exception of the Yates mine and the Frantz mine, to which con tracts are held by the Consumers' Ore company, +feese are the only working mines on state land, but they are all Of immense value, and hundreds of other leases and contracts are held for future development, which are known to cover lauge bodies of ore. The June reports are not in for the active mines, but during April and May the Pool mine took out 15,258 tons, the Grant mine 9.285 tons and the Missabe Mountain mine 2,774 tons. The last named will operate largely during the latter part of the season. The Yates mine has cleaned up its stockpile this season, shipping 35,000 tons of state ore, but will be idle the rest of the year. The Frantz mine, which is being steadily worked, took out 20,268 tons during April and May. Competition Would Result. If the law* is knocked out by the Mabel Evans suit, all these contracts will terminate and the property revert to the ownership of the state. A new law will have to be passed for mineral leases, providing for a public sale of the mineral rights to every tract of Bchool and swamp land. Such a law, it is believed, would materially increase the state's revenue. The present law is entirely satisfac tory to the mining interests and it is not surprising that they will fight to uphold its validity, while the state's legal department attacks it. The case comes up for trial Aug. 28 at Duluth, before Judge Homer Dibell. SWEDES TDRNING AWAY FROM WAR War Party Less Aggressive, While Norwegians Continue Peaceable. A Kew York Sun Special Service.

His last private act was to refuse a retainer of $25,000 offered by aft insurance finan cier. According to a close friend of Mr. Dill, the step from the riches of corpor ation law to the comparative dignified poverty of the bench was taken after mature thought in which the recent scandals of high finance and the de mands made upon lawyers to save their capitalistic clients from the law had weighty influence upon his decision.

Mr. Lawson was on his way to Kan sas and several other western states, where he will address the people on tho present wrongs committed by the finan cial octopi. He was accompanied by his son, Otto Lawson, by E. J. Eidgway and John O. Cosgrove of Everybody's Magazine, and by Lindsay Dennison of New York. They traveled in the Law son private car over the Grand Trunk railway, and departed later for Kansas City. Altho he traveled westward over the Santa Fe railway, he had no good things to say for that road, but intimated that it had held up the people along its lines to such an extent that its stock had in creased in value twenty-five-fold.

"Governor Hoch. as I understand it. got into some trouble with Standard Oil, and has asked me to come out and help. I will lecture along the lines laid down in my published exposures.

Referring again to Mr. Rockefeller, a subject to which Mr. Lawson easily and quickly recurs, he denied he thought the oil magnate was a menace to the country. "N o, I don't look on Mr. Rockefeller as a menace, but I do regard his $500,- 000,000 as a serious menace. He owns practically everything now exeept the sulphur combination." "Is he a good citizen?"

As a last attempt to save the chil dren, Senator Knute Nelson was ap pealed to by telegraph by the Associat ed Chirities yesterday but the telegram was sent too late.

He emigrated from Russia, leaving his family of a wife and four children behind. By dint of hard labor he accumulated enough about four months ago to secure their passage to this country.

SANDERS OF MONTANA DIES Pioneer State Maker and Former Senator Passes Away at Helena. Special to The Journal. Helena, Mont., July 7.Colonel W. F. Sanders, pioneer lawyer, former United States senator and the most prominent citizen of the state, died -at 12:20 this afternoon of cancer. Wilbur F. Sanders arrived in what is now Montana in September, 1863. There were no courts or law books in the ter ritory, and crime was rampant on all sides. In the fall of 1863, the forbearance of the better class of citizens was ex hausted, and the resistance to this reign of crime took form in the organization of a vigilance committee. Wilbur F. Sanders was elected its first chairman, and by an unwritten law was made public prosecutor. I was lie who prosecuted George Ives an secured by a Jtannack,dtwenty-fouhishnconviction ury of i the streets of and it was who demanded that Ives be hanged. Plummer's gang of desperadoes was there and the omi nous click of their weapons was heard, but Sanders had dared to speak the words, and the people were won. ''Jus- tice must triumph," said he, "and sooner or later it will. I charge George Ives as a murderer and unfit to live?' And George Ives was hanged within half an hour after that plea of the young barrister. And this was not the only man who suffered a merited fate at the hands of the vigilantes led by Wilbur F. Sanders. Indeed, scores met their fate at its hands. Colonel Sanders also achieved no lit tle notoriety as being the first expon ent of the gold standard in Montana a stand which again called for a dis play of the fearlessness which has so characterized almost every day of his life. The ninth legislative assembly perpet uated his name by creating a new coun ty from the boundaries of Missoula county, naming it "Sanders," On Oct. 27, 1858, Colonel Sanders was united in marriage with Miss Harriet P. Fenn of Ohio, and of this union, five children were born. Of these, three sonsJames U., Wilbur E., and Louis P.as well as his most estimable wife, survive him.

The reports sent from Odessa to the London newspapers regarding the bom bardment of Theodosia are untrue. Order is fully maintained in the town by the troops.
