FORCE RAILROADS
TO DISGORGE LAND
Investigation Is on to Make
Southern Pacific
Give Up.
Washington, May 28.—The Southern
Pacific railroad, of which E. H. Ham
man Is president, is withholding
400,400 acres of valuable land from set.
tlsmont and despite the demands of the
government refuses to carry out Its
terms of agreement by which It orig
inally got the land.
Tho railroad was given an original
grant of 6,000.000 acres of land with the
understanding that the land would_he
told for homesteads at 13 per acre,
railroad has sold much of the lan
116 and now refuses to sell the remain-
Ing 3,000,000 acres at any price. Presi
dent Roosevelt Is Investigating wlUf the
view nf Invoking the Keder.il statutes
to make the rallroad disgorge.
With only, one leg.and one arm, Har.
ry West, a young. North Carolina man,
has Just demonstrated to Secretary Lo-
gan of the Associated Charities that
handicapped as he Is he can make a
living without "panhandling’' on the
streets. .
When West came to Secretary Lo
gan's office a month ago, hs was walk
ing painfully along with a worn-out
crutch under his only arm. He was
dek and the Associated Charities took
care of him until he got well and then
he was anxious for a Job.
While Secretary Logan was negotiat-
place for West, he said If
had 18.54 hi
Ing for a :
place for West, he said It ha
he could fit himself out with
an artificial leg that would enable him
to do the work of an able-bodied man.
The money was furnished him. and the
next Secretary Logan saw of West was
when he came Into the office walking
without his crutch and carrying a cam
era under his single arm. *
With the money furnished him, West
had bought leather and other trim
mings and he manufactured a leg that
dealers wanted STB to furnish. After
being In a position to walk,' he made a
bargain with a photographer to take
button photos on the streets on a com
mission, and he worked at this and
made a living until the owner of the
machine told It.
Demonstrating as he did that he
could not be kept down even though he
was terribly handicapped, Secretary
Logan decided to furnish West with
$30 with which to buy one of the cam
eras, and he will be put In business for
himself and allowed to pay for the cost
of his camera Young West does not
drink and he shudders at the thought
of panhandling, although he I* crip
pled in such a manner that life would
be easy for him begging on the streets.
He Is a living Illustration of what a
hustler can do when everything seems
against him.
