GARFIELD ASKS FEDERAL
CHIEF TO PROBE LAND
FRAUDS IN CALIFORNIA
State Mineralogist Ajubury
» Wins Point in His Fight
Against Swindlers ~
WOULD HELP MINERS
Their Interests Are Harmed
by Grabbing of Areas by
Illegal Methods
Secretary Garfteld of the department
of the Interior, has Instructed Commis
sioner Balllnger of the general land
office to confer with State Mineralogist
Aubury on land frauds in this- state.
Commissioner Ballinger Is In Oregon
and may arrive in this city this week.
Aubury held a conference with Secre
tary Garfield last week, and out of
this came the Instruction to the gen
eral land commiEsioner, the purpose
being that the department of the in
terior may 'get all the information
available regarding topics in California
that come within the scope of the work
of the department. " .
Aubury declares that more than 10,
000,000 acres -of public land; In Cali
fornia have passed into private owner
ship by reason of gigantic frauds
through the employment of dummy lo
cators. According to Aubury, mineral
ized lands have been acquired by. fraud
ulent pretenses regarding their nature,
and timber lands of great value have
been seized by land grabbers on placer
locations, notwithstanding the entire
absence of ascertained minerals.
WHITES TO ROOSEVELT
Aubury has been in communication
with President Roosevelt, Secretary
Garfield and the general land office of
the United States. It was hoped , by
Aubury that Secretary Garfleld would
have had the time to consider person
ally the large mass of evidence ac
cumulated through the California state
mining bureau, the officers of the se
cfet service of the United States and
the United States*, geological survey,
but all of Garfield's time was taken up
with many other engagements. : He,
therefore, has given instructions to
Commissioner Balllnger so that all
Calif ornlan matters of Importance .to
the department of the interior may be
considered carefully.
i From this Inquiry sensational results
may come. Aubury . says that he will
give all possible assistance to the de
partment of the interior and ;to the
general land office for the benefit, par
ticularly, of the California • miners,
whose Interests suffer through the dep
redations of the lard grabbers.
GRAFTERS >OT PROSECUTED
' Aubury wrote to President Roosevelt
some time ago saying that although a
great amount of testimony had been
placed In the hands of the government
regarding land frauds in this state, the
persons who had committed. the swin
dles were not prosecuted. The attorney
general of the United States has the
sole power to Institute and prosecute
the proceedings to a finish.- The de
partment of the interior has no agency
In that direction. Aubury hopes' for
co-operation between the federal "de
partments. oSHSH&i
While Aubury Is trying to have the
land grabbers prosecuted there are
signs of back firing. In several news
papers statements, have been pub-*
lished recently to the effect that
Aubury Intended to resign his position.
The, intention of such statements was
to persuade officials that Aubury was
about to quit \u25a0, .•";!©££
. : ''I am not going to resign," Aubury
said yesterday.' "I shall remain at my
post and do all that I can to' bring the !
guilty land grabbers of California to ;
the bar of justice. They have seize! ,
illegally many thousands :of acres 'by
fraudulent methods and should be pun
ished severely for their crimes." .
FEARS HE IS IN WIFE'S
WAY AND KILLS HIMSELF
Invalid Husband Commits
Suicide After Long
Illness
Because he had been an invalid for
several years and was unable to ? pro
vldf- for his young and pretty wife,
C Artigue committed' suicide last eve
ning at his home, 351 Hickory avenue.
His wife, on her return from her work
at a French laundry, found the body
fully, dressed upon the: bed. A' rubber
tube hanging from the gas tip told how
he had asphyxiated himself. A note
on the dresser addressed to her.. read
as follows:
Ton cfaonld not curse me. I hare deroted my
life to 3"onr happ!ae»s, but my fate is such that
I do not want to be ' a . burden to you. . . Yon,
lyinise. are young, %<*A «.nd beaotifuL Another
will come and glorify your life. My last
thoegtt U of you. Goodby.
,The body fc was removed to the
morgue, Vhere the young: wife ex
plained that; her husband had \u25a0 been
grrotring ' more and more ,; despondent
over his continued invalidism.

-. Army authorities r believe- firmly..': that
the tragedy ;• was due to ' a \u25a0 quarrel { over
a woman.' The. men's- friendship -i had
been genuine and of long "standing," and
the shooting- was the first evidence
friends of either men had that: there
was enmity between \ them." -
Schulmen .had spent the ' day, '-at
Schuetzen park. He returned to j the
island ' from : - Tlburon, where " the /quar
antine- launch.- was' moored/ f^As'f he
stepped to the landing Shepard, -who
was : intoxicated, .walked up ' to - him ; and
said, "You've done : me ' dirt, - but^-. you'll
never get a chance , to do it again.", R **.
With that he drew the weapon vf rom
his pocket * and : fir ed '\u25a0\u25a0• point ', blank ! at* his
(victim. He watched Schulmen f all;wlth
a bullet in'hls side and calmly strolled

.The suicide formerly was a soldier. in

island, where he worked as'a'hoßtler. 1 *
\u25a0 Two notes V written *by V Shepard '?. are
evidence that he carefully; planned the
murder and- suicide. One; message was
written . to the captain of. Company /X,'
asking that the gun wlth\ which'; the
shooting was x done 'be given to -a sol
