Washington, Dec. 22.—The interior
department today received a dispatch
from Inspector Greene, at Portland
Ore., saying that Albert Harrington,
of Falls City, Ore., had been held tin-
der $i,003 bend for impersonating as-
sistants to Special Agents Patterson
and Hobbs, who have been investigat-
ing land frauds.
The great bulk of the land frauds
which have been grought to light art
under what is known as the lieu la id
section law. A large number of en-
tries filed under that law have hce
withheld from final action and all ex-
cept John ^Benson the San Francisco
man, nave been suspended.
Secretary Hithcock said there had
been no developments in the work. It
was intimated at the interior depart
ment that no further arrests were ex
pected nlntil about tile date of the
hearing in the Benson case, which is
- ueduled for the 30, unless something
cfcmanding immediate action should
he revealed.
The status of Woodford D. Harlan
a clerk in the land office, i„ view of
his alleged receipts of moneys Ben-
011 is accused of paying to influence
atcinn on pending matters, and in view
m the fact that he is still on the rolls,
has caused considerable speculation.’

MANAGERS WERE IN SESSION
YESTERDA VAETERNOON
1 Tli'e following managers of the Ok-
lahoma exhibit car we're in session
yesterday afternoon at Judge J. G.
Lowe’s office.
Hon. Ewers, White, of Shawnee,
president of the territorial board of
agriculture, R. J. Newberry, of Kiowa
county, Hon. E. J| Murphy, of Custer
county, member of the board of agri-
culture, Captain Robinson, of Lawton,
John R. Rose, secretary of the Okla-
homa City Chamber of Cammerce,
and Major E. J. Simpson, of this city.
, Not much business was transacted
except that auditing of accounts,
which showed that after all outstand-
ing oblifiations were paid there would
funds enough to straighten up all ac-
counts. Major Simpson of this city,
and Mr. Rose of Oklahoma City, were
appointed as a committee to visit
Guthrie in regard to board nianage-
1 ment.
Washington, Dec. 22.-The officials
of toe Northern Pacific deney the
statement attributed to Frank Water-
house, manager of the Botosli Steam-
ship company, of Seattle, in his re-
cent testimony before the interstate
commerce commission, that his com-
pany had a contract with the North-
ern Pacific which prohibited the rail-
way company from accepting freight
brought in by tramp ships. They as-
sert that while the company has no
exclusive contract and no agreement'
beyond a division of rates on business
01 the Orient, it is the general prac-
tice of railway companies in the trans.
a, lion of established and permanent
lines with a fixed and regular schedule
of sailings and arrivals and with ad-
vertised route, with dockage facilities
etc., over transcontinetal tramp ships
mostly f,.reign, which have happened
IO pick up a cargo and have no regu-
«ar business.
Paris, Dec. 22.—It has been |
learned by the Associated Press that 1
| at a meeting of the Dreyfus commis-
sion next Wednesday, Victor Mercier,
reporter for the commission and one I
of the directors of the ministry of jus-1
tice, will submit a report recommend- I
ing revision of tne case of Captain
Dreyfus. It is not yet positively known
whether M. Mercicr’s report will rr-
commeiid revision by the court of cas
sation or of the court martial, but
there is every reason to believe that
tlie court cassation will now recon-
sider the case in the light of the facts
gathered by M. Mercier at tile same
time passing upon the other document
submitted.
If the revision of the case should
be favorable lo Captain Dreyfus,
will be restored to the army no mat-
ter what protests may be made, b
't is not expected that he will assume
active service.
