Washington, July 21.--SeVera) tym­ panies and corporations that liave been fraudulently selling lands along the Rio Grande are soon to be prose­ cuted by the federal department of Justice. The lands are practically worthless and title to them is In dis­ pute between Mexico and this coun­ try. The operators are said to have made millions out of the fraud. A spe­ cial investigation of the matter was made by W. W.JFbllett, consulting en­ gineer of the international boundary oommission. Gen. Anson Mills, chair­ man, which is seeking to settle bi agreement the claims of the two gov­ ernments to lands created by changes In the course of the river. His report to the commission dhows that the fraud w&s extensive. More than one tH&sand of the claims secured by In­ nocent parties have been Invalidated by the commission. The operators In these sand lots ob­ tained some color of title to the prop­ erty, presumably from Mexican claim­ ants. before the commission had de­ cided to which country the land be­ longed. Through enticing literature and by other means the speculators unloaded the land at cheap prices to reckless investors on representation that they were fertile and well wa­ tered. Investigation by Mr. Follett developed that much of the lands so sold were non-productive, even though the title to them could have been sus­ tained.

Fort Smith, Ark., July 20.--Union miners and sympathizers numbering several hundred destroyed nearly ev­ erything at the three mines of Mam­ moth Vein Coal company, at Prairie Creek, 25 miles east of here, and en­ gaged a force of non-union employes in a battle that waged from six o'clock until noon on Friday. Dynamite and fire were used to destroy the struc­ tures. The loss is $250,000. The' jnoljt remarkable incident in connection with the clash, the result of a strike of union employes, is that no one was killed, and that only four persons were injured. The battle came to an end when the employes ex­ hausted their supply of ammunition. The unionists claim their forces num­ bered between two and four hundred, while the non-unionists allege they were attacked by fully 1,500 men. While the latter say that they had but from sixty to one hundred men, the union forces declared they numbered 200. The first attack was made on mine No. l, where a tipple and smaller buildings were burned. Then an at­ tack was made on mine No. 8, where a tipple and company houses were set afire and the machinery and mouth of the mine shaft dynamited. The attacking force next moved to mine No. 4, the only plant that was guarded and operating. The employes were lodged behind a barricade, while the attacking force took refuge in the timbers and rocks on the edge of ridges in near-by hills. The long-dis­ tance at which the fight was waged prevented any fatalities. The trouble is the result of the cli­ max to a strike called in progress at mine 4 since last April, when the com­ pany substituted union miners for the open shop policy. Prior to the opening of hostilities, all telephone wires in the strike dis­ trict were cut, and the women and children in the danger sone were re­ moved to safety. According to well founded reports, the trouble came as a sort of Reprisal for the alleged shooting up of Frog- town, a union mine camp near mine No. 4 It was reported to the authorities that on Sunday and Wednesday night of this week, the non-union employes of mine No. 4 shot up ths iown, This is emphatically denied by the oper­ ators.

Rebates, Diecrimlrtatory Praf- tioes and Special Privileges Art ' Alleged in Connection With the 'j O'Gara Company. Washington, July 22.--The iater- state commerce commission has sent to congress a sensational report on the relations of the New York Central lines with the O'Gara Coal company, and of other railroads wltl* coal opera­ tions generally In Illinois. The report covers a gingantio. scheme of alleged fraud, rebates, dis­ criminatory practices and special privileges. The men most deeply Involved are: W. O. Brown, former president of the New York Central system. Charles P. Hewitt, hrother-ta-law of W. O. Brow a. S. W. McCune, an agent employed by Brown. , ,0> John Cartensen, vice-president of the New York Central. » R. M. Huddleston, general auditor of •the New York Central lines west Jjf 'Buffalo. « The report finds that these officials promoted the OJGara Coal company and the Salinp Coal company for the purpose of protecting the future fuel supply of the* New York Central sys­ tem and of securing additional ton nage. According to the findings of the com­ mission, the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern, a part of the New York Cen­ tral, paid the O'Gara company a re­ bate of $60,000. The New York Cen­ tral solicited business for the O'Gara company; paid it more for coal than it was getting from dny other con­ cern, protected its contracts; loaned It nearly five hundred taousand dol­ lars; extended its credit without se­ curity or interest, and gave it other preferences more technical but Just as advantageous. When Mr. Brown started out to ac­ quire the coal land in question, he chose as his agent S. W. McCune, "whom he had known for nearly twen­ ty-five years," says the report, "and ln> whom he had such explicit confidence that he declined to require a surety bond of him, flaying that he would be 'personally responsible^ for the prop» erty In his care.' To assist McCune, Mr. Brown appointed Charles P. Hew­ itt, his brother-in-law. "The record shows that he at once became a tool in the hands of McCune, with whom he agreed to divide his commission in return for certain serv­ ices by McCune, the nature of which Hewitt was unable to explain "and which McCune did not explain. "The record does not show tJ3At Mr. Brown had any knowledge of the ir­ regularities in the purchase of these properties." 0EN.
