THE SHADOWING" OF TILLMAN
President Makes Public Result of Investigation
in Connection with Alleged "Land Grab"
COPIES OF LETTERS WRITTEN BY SENATOR
And by His Agent, Showing that Tillman Did Make an
Effort to Obtain Several Quarter Sections of Oregon
Land are Embodied in a Communication to Senator
Hale of Nearly 3,000 Words-Sensation Expected.
Washington, Jan. 8. President could
Roosevelt tonight made public the de
tails of an investigation by postoffice
Inspectors and secret service agents
of Senator Tillman's connection with
an alleged "land grab" in Oregon.
What the President Undertakes to
Show.
As he presents the evidence to Sen
ator Hale, in response to the lattor's
request to tn heads of the various
executive departments for a statement
upon the operations of the secret ser-
ice, the president undertakes to
how:
"That Mr. Tillman used influence as
a senator to try to force the govern
ment to compel a railroad corpora
tion "to relinquish its. control of land
grants from the Cnitod States so that
he and tlis family and his secretary,
J B. Knight, might profit by the pur
chase of some of the land: that the
senator used his government franking
privilege in numerous instances for
the conduct of private business."
Serious View Taken of President's Re
port, i
Comparatively l' ,v senators were fa
vored with opportunity of reading the
president's report to Senator Male, but
those who did read the report took a
serious view of it. Vet most of the
senators refused to believe that .Mr.
Tillman ever did anything' in violation
of his oath as a senator.
Senator Admits He Made Effort to
Obtain Land.
Senator Tillman did mt permit the
fat thai tlie president was giving
out the charges against him to alter
his determination to make no state
ment until Holiday. He said that he
not make his
reply as complete
as he would desire for tomorrow's
papers and that he would therefore
withhold whatever remarks he might
have to make until Monday, when he
would make a statement to the sen
hU No effort was made by him to
conceal the fact that when he learned
the facts concerning the railroad grant
he made an effort to obtain portions of
the hind in the names of himself and
members of his family, but he declar
ed that since, at most, he could have
got possession of only a few hun
dred acres, his efforts were, after aII.
on behalf of the public and not es
pecially in his own interest.
Tillman Will Reply Monday.
Immediately after the conclusion of
the chaplain's prayer Monday, Mr.
Tillman will ask the recognition of
the chair on a question of personal
privilege. Departing from his custom
of extemporaneous speaking, he will
read his statement, thus insuring more
careful adherence to what he desires
to say than he would be able to give
in an off-hand speech.
Telltale Copies of Letters.
The communication to Senator Hale
is nearly 3.UU0 words long and there
are appended to it numerous exhibits, '
including copies of letters written by
Senator Tillman and his agent, Wil
liam K. Lee, showing that they did
make an effort to obtain several quar
ter sections of the Oregon land, and
the reports of the post office inspectors
who investigated the transactions of
the land agents. It was owing to this
investigation that the alleged interest
of Senator Tillman was brought to
light, and falct'ully, it appears, it was
at his instance that the inquiry was
begun.

Thinks higher Tax on Connecticut

Rowe of tl'.u Connecticut Oystermen's
association today, in speaking, of ox
fiovernor Woodruff's suggestion that
the oyster beds of the state be taxed

said that the oyster beds in that state

His Wife and
Daughter Examined.
-Mis. Carmichael and Miss Carmi
chael, wife and daughter of the min
ister, were examined today by the
prosecuting attorney here and he said
afterward that he was convinced that
they knew nothing about the reason
for the murder nor the man's dlsap
piarance. A statement todav bv Mrs,
Carmichael thai her husband's' sister
is an inmate of an insane asvlum in
West Virginia may explain some or
tile horrible features of the crime, if
the authorities' suspicions about Rev.
-Mr. Carmichael are borne out. Mrs.
Carmichael also Raid that her husband
was moody anr restlens the night be
fore he disappeared, and apparently
was brooding over something.
Strange Intimacy Between Minister
and Carpenter.
It was also learned today tlait on
.Monday, tile day before the murder,
Rev. Mr. Carmichael came to the post
ojee in Adair, apparently much agitat.
'i. and r ived a letter which he took
away without, opening. It is thought
that this letter may hnve had some
ounertion with the strange intimacy
between the minister and Carpenter,
which had been noticed for a number
ot wicks before their Joint disappear
ance anil the ciini" in tlie church.
Both the motive and Rev. Mr. Car-
intch.iel s w hereabout are still
