FRIDAY, APRIL 22, 1910.— FOURTEEN PAGES. BALLINGER SAVES PUBLIC COAL LANDS Orders 13.500.000 Acres in Montana Withdrawn from Entry. HOLD VALUABLE DEPOSITS Area Twice the Size of Alaska's Known Coal Fields — 57.000, 000 Acres Now With drawn. ! F»om Th» Trthun- Bu-»«u ■ Washington. April 21.— Secretary Hal linger has withdrawn from entry ap proximately IMJBOOJKO acres of land in southeastern Montana, believed to con tain valuable deposits of coal, pending examination and classification as to their coal values. The withdrawal is made on the re-om mendntion of the dim* tor of the <;eninpri cal Survey. This is th" largest single withdrawal of coal lands, covering terri tory not previously withdrawn, which ha? been made since Secretary Hitchcock made the original coal withdrawal. in 190 ft. The area withdrawn is twice that of the known coal fields of Alaska. The land? involved are in Valley, Dawson. R.-.i»ehud and Custer counties, and in tlude the greater part of Montana east of the K»7th meridian and from the Wyoming line to the international boun dary. The information before the rjeolngical Survey indicates that a large percentage of th<» lands embraced within the with drawal will be classified as coal lands probably a much larger percentage than usually obtains in coal land withdrawals The indications are that the greater part of the lands are underlain by several vein? of coal varying in thickness, the quality of which range? from a lignite in the southeastern part of the stat* to a good grade of sub-bituminous near the Wyoming line. There has recently been considerable activity in public land mat ters in this section of Montana and the withdrawal was made to prevent the ac quisition of valuable coal deposits under agricultural land laws The total area of COB] lands now with drawn from entry for purposes of classi fication and appraisement is approxi mately liT.nf'n.noo acres. The withdrawal will in no way interfere with the devel opment of the country should legislation looking to the separation of the surface from the mineral richt* be enacted by Congress, but such legislation would re s»r\<- to ike United States all coal de posits. Secretary Ballinger also has ordered 400.000 acres of land in Montane into the enlarged homesteads as not being sus ceptible of irrigation from any known s-ource of water supply.' and has applied a like order to 2^,00f» acres in New Me.x i<~o This bring? the area designated for homesteads in Montana close to 30.000.

April I'l.— Memorial of the turbulent nerves of Parnell's time were revived in the House of « 'ommons to nlcht during the discussion of a motion by T. P.

The Irish members of the Hosjao an notinced their intention to secure, if pos sible, a government investigation of the affair, with ■ ie\»- to depriving?

The debate was proceeding quietly but with acerbity on the part of Hie Na tionalists, one of whom o« lare<] th.it Pir Robert's articles were an attempt to re vive old charges against the National ists in order to help *the Tories in the coming elections, when the Rie'it Hon.

In the curse of his *peecli referred to th«^ Ph'pnix Park murders and the pigott letter in terms that excited the hiehest resentment from the Irish benches. There were loud de mands for Mr. Campbell to withdraw his offensive expressions. The chairman declining to interfere, a Barfed ■proBX ensued, Mr. Redmond shouting. "It was an outrage!" while others cried. "Send for tlie Speaker'" The chairman and Secretary for Wnr H?ildane vainly appealed to the House to allow Mr «'ampb*ll to continue his; ppee,-h. The pandemonium was renewed on the, part of the Nationalists, who ■booted, "Plpott!" "Dublin Castle!" "We wont stand it!" and cheered for Parnell. The scene was continued for several minute?, and finally Mr. Churchill moved closure. Hnd Mr O'Connor's motion was rejected, I*4 to 94.

NORTON AMAZES COMMITTEE Bonding System Obsolete and Unsatisfactory — Investiga tion May Be Made. Washington, April 21. — The astonish ing statement wni made by Charles D. Norton. Assistant Secretary of the Treas ury, before the House Commit on Kxpenditures in the Treasury Depart ment to-day, that there was at present no law on the statute hooks by which a subordinate In any of the sub -Treasuries of the United States could be punished for making away with public funds. A man might loot the Treasury of as much as he liked or could get away with, and no 1.-iw exist? by which he could be pun ished. Mr Norton declared If two or more employee: engaged in an embezzle ment they might be punished for con spiracy, hut that was all. The further information was elicited that the bonding system of treasurers and assistant treasurers of the I'nlted St.ite-; and their various subordinates Wfca obsolete and inadequate Treasurer ■fcChnaj said that his hand of $i=io.ono wns the same as that required in ITHX The Assist;! nt Treasurer :tt New York furnished a bond of |«00.000. vipned by rrhnte persons, for the reason that a bonding company would charge him |lS#f premium Mr. Norton said the furnishing of bonds by private poTSOne in BBCk cases was a most undesirable arrangement. Subordinates in the Treasury Depart ment, handling millions af money dath. were required to furnish no bond, except hi si -me cases where assistant treasurers required bonds regardless of the law. This and much other similar informa tion was given by Mr. Norton at a hear ing to-day <>n the question of whether th<- ...mmittee on expenditures in the Treasury Department should undertake an investigation of the shortage of ftl. <kim in the Bttb-Treaanr] nt WL Lanta, and incidentally inquire into the ac counting system in the Treasury. After listening to statements 1 \ Mr Norton and Representatives Shackleford and Martholdt. of Missouri, the commit tee adjourned without deciding whether or not an investigation would bo held. Both Missouri t'ongressmen urged the committee to undertake a speedy in quiry into the St. l^>uls shortage, in or der that Justice might be done. Mr. Norton feeM <>f the extensive plans of the department to perfect a new sys tem of construction of vaults, cages and other features at the various treasuries, and of espionage and examination of • . -. institutions.
