A NEW BILL
Senator Hatwbrough Has Introduced
Second Bill to Araeaftl
the Land Laws.
i i i
Washington, Dec. 5.—Senator Ilans
brough'is continuing his efforts to se^
cure land law legislation this session
•of congress, which, in his opinion, will
cure defects in the existing statutes
and prevent fraud*. His first bill in
this direction was introduced some
time ago. His second bill, covering
the desert Jand act,, was introduced
'yesterday.
Senator Hansbrough said': "I stfct-:
ed early in October that I should in
troduce a bill calculated to strengthen:
the desert land act. At that time,
however, I did not have certain infor
mation on the subject which it was
necessary to have. This information is
now at hand and I shall introduce a
bill today providing for a reduction in
entry from 320 to ten acrcs and strik
ing out the assignment clause of the
existing law.
"The desert land law is absolutely
indispensible to irrigation by private
enterprise where small quantities of
land may be reclaimed and where the
government, under the national irri
tfaton law, cannot be expected to op
crate for many years to come, or until
1 he larger projects are developed. Set
ih mcnt in Wyoming, southern Idaho
i a part of Colorado and Utah has
1
Is
the
ken place almost exclusively under
the desert act. It is to that state
what the homestead law is to North
1 )akota and other humid regons..
'Now, as to the charge that the
provision of my bill relative to the
forest reserve selection right would
operate to nullify the irrigation law,
111 ere is «no ground for it whatever.
It
will be found that this charge was
originally made to defeat remedial
land legislation. The fact is that lands
withdrawn under the irrigation act arc
held to be lands appropriated for a
specific purpose and under the rulings
of
the interior department, forest re
serve selection rights cannot be used
on
lands otherwise appropriated. My
bill does not re-enact the forest r*
serve land selection law. It simply
amends it so as to provide that lands
taken under it shall not be more val
uable for timber than for agriculture.
'A rule of construction repeatedly
laid
down by the supreme court sus
tains the department in its decisions
rejecting all applications to locate for
est reserve selection rights or any
kind of land scrip upon lands appro
priated for a specific purpose, as in
case with land withdrawn under the
irrigation law. I think the real
friends of irrigation may be depended
upon to sustain the purposes of the
law even against those irresponsible
persons who seek to foster private
schemes under color of blatant pre
tense*, pf excessive patriotism."
REYES CALLED.
Washington, Dec. 5—General Reyes,
special minister from Colombia, called
on President Roosevelt today and told
him why he came to Washington.

CRIME IS SUSPECTED.
Lawton Man la Suspected of Murdering His
4 r.
Hired Man.
a w e 5 .- i e y s e
ious disappearance of a man named
Shannon, near here, Nov. 22, has giv
en rise to rumors that he has been
murdered. Shannon was employed by
a farmer named Posey.' They had not
agreed very well and ort the day Shan
non disappeared both had been drink
ing heavily at Lawton. It is also re
ported that Posey had threatened On
several occasions to kill Shannon.
Mr. Posey left town on the south
bound train Tuesday, saying he was
going to the woods. His wife and
neighbors became suspicious and -or
dered an investigation. Up to 8 o'clock
this morning nothing but a lap robe
saturated with blood had been found.
The story is about as follows.: Mr.
Posey and Mr. Shannon were in town
all day Sunday, Nov. 32, drinking
heavily. About 7 o'clock in the even
ing the two left in a single rig for Mr.
Posey's farm, six miles west of Law
ton. A neighbor, who knew the horse
and rig, although the evening was
quite dark says he could see a man
sitting up straight, holding with his
left arm the reclining figure of anotheit
person. A robe of some sort i{*s
drawn up over, the figure and he could
not say positively whether it wai, a
human being or not, but has a strong
suspicion that it was^ The horse wa$
galloping when it passed him and he
thought it rather peculiar at the time,
but 'soon forgot qll abput it, until the*
investigation came up'
Mr. Posey's wife says lie arrived
home about 8 Q'C1OCV, did the chores
around the barn, but he seemed mif
agitated when he came in and co

EXPORTS OF MANUFACTURERS
1
The Record for October Was the Bert for That
(t
Month With One Exception,
Washington, Ehsc. 5?—Exerts' of
manufactures in October seem to
shpw something ,of the expected revi
val in that branch of our foreign com
merce. The total, exports of manufac
tures in October, as shown by the re
ports of the department of commerce
and labor through its bureau of statis
tics, amount $37*558.675. This is a
larger export tban in any preceding
October, except that of 1
111 October, 1903, are $i-y375.375^
against $14,540,799 in the correspond
ing month of last year, and articles
wholly or partially manufactured for
use as materials in the manufacturer
and mechanic arts are $12,843,890,
against $13,348,145. Iron and steel
manufactures, of which the importa
tions had been unusually large,.. show
marked reduction, the total for Oc
tober, 1903, being $2,552,380, against
$4,149,631 in October of last year.
Articles in\a crude condition for use
in manufacturing also show a reduc
tion in October, 1903, as compared
with October, 1902, in which the total
was the largest for October .in the his
tory of our import trade.
The figures of exports of manufac
tures for the ten months ending with
October show a condition quite as sat
isfactory as those relating to the
month of/October only. As has been
already indicated, the October exports
of manufactHres are larger than those
for the corresponding month of any
preceding year except 1900, and'this
may also be said of the etn months,
ending with October, in which the ex
ports of manufactures were $384,688,
560, a larger total than for the corres
ponding ten months of any earlier ytfar
except 190a
1
goo, and even,
in that banner year of exports the total
was less than $100,000 above that of
October, 1903. The increase, over Oc
tober, 1902, is about $1,500,000 over
October, igor, $3,000,000, and is more
than double the total for October in
1893. Most of the principal articles of
manufacture show a slight increase in
October.. 1903, compared with, October
1902. Agricultural implements show a
gain of over $40,000, compared with,
the sams month of the preceding year
cars and carriages, about $25,000
clock and watches, $45,000 copper
manufactures, $450,000 scientific in
struments, $130,000 steel rails, $113,
coo wire, $35,000 sewing machines,
$75,000 iron and steel manufactures of
all kinds, $318,000 boots and shoes,
$156,000 leather of all kinds,'$419,000
mineral oil, $604,000 manufactures of
tobacco, $50,000
5
manufactures of
wood, $50,000, and manufactures of
wool, $140,000. Cptton manufactures
show a slight reduction, the total ex
ports for October, 1903, being $2,005,
650, against $2,689,076 in October of
the preceding year.* This reduction
occurs almost exclusively in exports of
cotton cloth to China, of which the
total for October, 1903, was 9,370,600
yards, valued at $414,156, against 20,
472,678 yards, valued at $1,036,726. in
October, 1902. The figures for Oc
tober, 1903, however, compare favor
ably with those of the corresponding
month in years preceding
y*
19^2, in
which the exports of cotton cl6ths to
China were 'extraordinarily large by
reason of the small importations dur
ing the disturbance of 1901.
On the imports side manufactures
show -a slight decrease as" compared
with October, 1902. Articles of vol
untary use, luxuries, etc., are for Oc
tober, 1903, $11,242,417, against $11.
676,126 in October, 1902. Articles
manufactured ready for consumption
