his private secretary, for 81 1926, 400, in

various times in August 1893 in New

terests in various iron mines and the
Messaba railroad, the defendants rep
resented that the Pontoc and Gogebia
mines, which with others controlled
by Rockefeller were to be taken into
the Lake Superior iron mines, was
solvent and prosperous company; also
the Spanish American and Aurora

LAND CLAIM DECIDED.
WASHINGTON, Oct 29.-In the su-
preme court today Chief Justice Fuller
handed down q decision in the case OF
the United States VS.. Earl b. Coe, in
invo wing the title to the Algadones
land grant OF A rizona upon a motion
to dismiss on the ground that con
gress had no power to confer upon the
supreme court jurisdiction to entertain
al appeal from decree of q court OF
private land claims by which this
case was originally tiled, but the
latter is not vested with political
power IN virtue of any provision OF
the CO stitution. The motion to dis.
miss was denied and the decision Is OF
Importance because it sffirms all the
decisions of the private land court.
The decision concludes as follows:
"As wherever the United states ex.
ercise the power of government under
specific grant or through the dominion
and sovereignty of pieuary auth ,ritv
as over the territories, that power in
cludes the executive, Legislative and
Judicial power, it follows all actions ~
inferior courts must be subjected tn
the appellate jurisdiction OF the SUI
preme judicial tribunal of the govern
ment. There has never been any
question in regard to this rs applied
to the territorial courts, nor no reason
can be perceived for applying a d fer
emit rule TO the adjudication OF the
court of private land claims over

AMERICAN MEATS IN GERMANY.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-Secretary
Gresham has made very strong rep
resentation to the German government
as to the injustice to the United State S
of the recent order prohibiting the i'm
portation of American cattle and fresh
meat into Germany. He has protested
that the action, which ia so severe q
blow to q great American industry,
was taken without sufficient evidence
as to disease among the American
cattle. The secretary and the Ger
man ambassador were in con-
ference at the state depart
ment today on the subject
and the minister transmitted the pro.
test to his government, promising
careful consideration. Here is one
reason to hope our government may
be able to secure suspension of the
order for time at least to afford an
opportunity for investigation and the
pi 0per consideration of such repre-.
sensations as we can make to support
our case, and one leason for this is
founded on the change made ia the
German chsncellorship. The protest
against that action by Secretary
Gresham cited the recent interview
with a Chicago packer to
the effect that we were send
ing very little meat or cattle
into Germany anyhow as evidence
that the Importance of the action of
the government had been exaggeIat
ed. He knew nothing, he said, of the

|
The railroad commission was with
out quorum yesterday morning, bu
some of the routine went on all the
same. The only matter of interest
That came up was consultation with
Commissioner Foster over matters
concerning the Red River, Sabine and
Western Railway company. This ia
road that was projected some time
ago to run from Nacogdoches to San
Augustine and Palestine from one OF
th'se points. 1t mad for one of it's OBJ.
Jects an extension into the state Of
Louisiana and eastward. After grad
ing some of 10 miles out of Nacog-
doches the company met with re-
verses and the road WAS sold under
execution for u ominal sum In ad-
dltion 10 other difficulties the road had
its charter forfeited, and the present
owners contemplate getting out
Few charter and making
preparations for renewed work
Mr.. A. b. BleveDs Of New Birming-
nam was one of the purchasers of the
road at the sheriff's sale and it was he
VINO consulted with Mr.. Foster about
the steps to be taken to rehabilltate
the franchises lost by the forfeiture of
the charter.
Fort Worth parties were originally
Interested in this road and they claim
that they spent $4,000 toward the
grading of the 10 miles of road al
ready mentioned and Mr.. Frank N.
Ball, a prominent lawyer of Fort
Worth who il interested in the origi-
nal franchises, is disposed to contest
the legality of the title claimed by
Blevens and others.
5an Augustine citizens are those(
who provoked the forced sale of the
road, and Mr.. +. N. Blunt is one of |
the parties interested.
There is one point raised that de-
serves notice, to-wit: When the Red |
River, Sabine and Western railroad |
Jailed to pay the franchise tax re-
4uired by law, the secretary
Of state proceeded to for
felt the charter. The law
provides that such failing upon the
part Of corporations to pay the fran
chise tax, will be followed by q for
Teiture, but this presupposes some
action by the attorney general in some
district court of the state.
1t seems that the secretary of state
nterprets the law to provide that
upon the failure to pay franchise
1axes corporations must have their
charters forfeited Immediately by the
head of that state department. While
his department takes such a position
. would be impolitic and unwise for
he railroad commission to agree to
he issuance of bonds upon the prop
srty of any such doubtful or uncertain
egal entity and the commission could
not place itself in the attitude of be-
Ing in conflict with the secretary OF
state.
Hence the owners of the Red River,
sabine and Western Railway COM
pany will probably procure another
charter and 60 on with the construc.
ton of their road.
