REVIEW ALLEGED AND GRAFTERS HUE UNDER ARREST "Federal GramlKJury-lndicts Prominent Coast Men in So-Called Frauds of Al aska Mineral Claims TRACTS OBTAINED BY USE OF "DUMMIES" Cases Figured Conspicuously in Ballinger-Pinchot Con troversy Recently WASHINGTON, D., C, Oct. 14. After months ot secret effort and pa tient waiting, .officials of the general land office were ablo, to announce to Jay the indictment of a number - ot claimants to valuable lands in Alaska.. The entries involved are No. 164 and 155' and cover almost 2,000 acres ot land all ot which lies in the Bering Sea district in which the Cunningham claims are located. They are what is known as English or Stracey and Christopher groups, the former containing 80 and the latter 74 claims ot 160 acres each. Deposits covered by these claims are believed to be as rich as those at the Cunningham mines which cut a conspicuous figure in the Ballinger-Pinchot controversy. The indictments were handed down in the federal court at Tacoma. AVash.. . In English group indict ments were returned against C. P. Mundajt, A. H. Stracey, Archie W. Shields, and E. E. Slegley, and in the second group against Cornelius Christopher. George Slmmonds and Mortimer G. Sweeney. Ttea first group ot defendants takes its name from the foct that a number oC people iff western Canada are supposed to be interested. Munday is a prominent attorney ot Seattle. Tho charge is that the en tries were made in "the names ot -dummies" while the entrymen were residents ot Washington and they arc said to have made an agreement that their claims should be assign ed or deeded to third parties. There is said to have been a further un derstanding that the locator should receive a large part of the sale price. The charge differs from the charges in the Cunningham claims, in which therjo are no allegations that the en trymen took the claims for per sons pther jthan themselves, but rather that they had a previous agree ment to work or dispose of their claims ai a unit It Is said the clalraanta In the rie"W cases never saw the land on which their name3 were used for locations. Both groups of claims figured in connection with the Hailinger-PInchot inquiry. Charg es of fraud In connection with the ear tries were made two years ago. .Mooting this allegation with a statement thaC the services ot The land office force were needed else wBeSe and that there was no statute of limitations to" run against these cases it was conceeded that they were not pressed for proaecutton. Since last May, however,, the offi cers have been devoting the major portion of their time to them and andlhpr federal grand Jury at Spo kane is considering other charges of fraudulent caal entries In Alaska. The results expected from .the invest! Rations are similar to those obtained at Tacoma. ACCUSED BY GOVERNMENT. SKATTLE Wash., Oct 14. Charles Munday. Georgo Simmons and Cor nelius Christopher, all prominent men were arrested here today on indict ments returned by the Tacoma grand Jury charging conspiracy to defraud Jhe gorrfcrnment In the Alaska coal casos. They were released on bonds of $2.W. Thj men arrested today are to appear before U. S. District Court Judge George Donworth for ar raignment at Tacoma Monday. It Is probable the trials will be set for the December term in Seattle. Special Agent Christensen would TiaTe proceded, he says, months ago, but valuable witnesses were In Washington before the BaLinger "Plnchot investigating committee and the matter was deferred. It is claimed the alleged frauds In the Stracey jjroup were known to the department at the time three com panles were formed, it Is alleged, to srsraro patents under the act of 34ay 23, 1908.

Professor Phllbrook appeared be foro the council and stated that It was the recommendation ot the board of education of the district' tb the curfew ordinance be changed to be operative for children up to 16 years of age insteod of 12. The coun cil was lavorable to ihla chango and as soon as the city attorney re turns he will be instructed to amend the ordinance. fc A question about a hydrant near the Lincoln school and a money matter connected with the Lincoln school sewer system, were brought to the at tention of the council by Professor Philbroola and disposed of without much discussion. Alderman GUIman suggested that an ordinance be framed and adopted which wljjl prohibit children trcm stealing rides on Jwagons, as this practice, tes become general among the youngsters and greatly endangers lives and limbs. This matter will be taken up at another session of the council. v Tho danger or fire being starred tn buildings from stove pipes being put through roofa without the proper pro tection was discussed and Captain Norton and the fire committee were instructed to make a trip of inspec tion over the town to note the con dition of chimneys and smoke pipes. The fire protection system came up for a general dlscuss.'on and the need of securing a large supply of water was acknowledged by all of the aldermen. A plan of Increasing the supply by sinking the well deep er "and running a long drirt was fav ored by the .aldermen and the firs committee will make an investigation of tho well and will report at thi next meeting. A plan to secure wat er from tho Copper Queen flow that Is pumped from the" mines to be used for sprinkling the lower part or the city was brought up for discus sion and arrangements to make use of this waste wfater will probably bo made in the near future, as the dust nuisance has become almost unbear' able in some parts of the city. Th'e mayor appointed a police com- junKiee to assist the city marshal in certain lines of his work. This com mittee consists of Alderman Quick, Henderson and Hughes.

The name was adopted and will be put on STEEL STOCK H GROWS VERY ACTIVE - NEW YORKOcu 14. Increased lc- tlvlty in the stock market dealings today showed its effect on the money j market, but in no such degree as to restrain activity. Loans on call were made to carry over until Monday and they were exempt from any severe strain wmen Dullt up confidence. The special require ments in addition to the stock mar ket which are to be met In payment of large sums tomorrow for dividends and Interest made the tranquility of the money market more noticeable and increased the belief that the resources would be returned to the money market next week. The higher call loan rate is be lieved to have proved attractive to trust companies and other institu tions outside the clearing houses so as to have relieved the demand on banks for credits in connection with the stock market activity. Dealings in United States steel were on an enormous scale and re called the days or great markets of the past The immediate news from the steel trade showed no explana tion apparent on the heavy accumula tion of this stock. There was heard contention, however, that the events of the last few days shaped them selves in favor of the demand of railroads for advances in freight rates. It assumed the assurance of increased revenues to railroads will release large orders for material from that source which have been heM in abeyance the while rate . cases are being argued. uonds were firm.
