MILLIONS INVOLVED
In q Case Before the Commission
er of the General Land Office.
ONE HUNDRED AND SIxTY-THREE ACRES
Of Highly Improved Chicago Realty
Claimed by Two Different Parties
O,her Than Those Actual
ly in Possession.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-Before Com
missioner of the General Land Office
Lamoreaux was began a case which
will be argued during the week, after
wards going befors- the secretary of
the interior, and w hich will ultimately
find its way to the United States su-
preme court 1t is the claim on one
side of William II. Cox for about SI0,-
600, 600 or SIS 600, 600 worth of property
in Chicago, north of the Cbicego river
to North avenue and east of Hail sur
vey, to the lake, embracing about 165
acres of land.
Another set of claimants are II. N.
La Folette and Matthews Bonner, who
claim to be purchasers of scrip issued
to the heirs of Capt. w. H. Mckee,
veteran of the Mexican war, by acts of
congress. The land is now occupied
by railroads, business houses, canal
and about ten streets, and among those
owning improvements there are Potter
Palmer, n. *. Fairbank, c. E. Farweu
and others.
Before Commissioner Lamoreaux as
sembled gathering Of attorneys from
Chicago and Washington which in
cluded the foremost land attorneys of
the United States. c. w. Needham, of
Washington, addressed the commits
sioner for the present, or shore own
ers of property. He said the plain
tiffs claimed the lands as vacant or
government lands, but but they could
not be called such, as they were occu-
pied by various enterprises involving
millions of dollars. Mr.. Needham's main
point was an attack upon the govern
ment survey of the tract, stating that
it did not comply with the law as was
prescribed in the surveyors manual
The plat did not indicate in single
instance that there were any improve
mentS such as railroads, business
houses, manufactures, residences and
streets. He claimed that the depart
ment, before approving such survey,
should have had the exact facts, and
should have seen that the specific in
structions given the surveyors had
been followed.
The assistant commissioner of the
land office, sitting with Judge LamO-
reaux, said that instrnstions had been
practically carried out.
Mr.. Needham replied that they
should have been carried out to the
full extent of the law. 1t was not the
duty of a government official to prac-
tically perform his duties, but to do
them in accordance with the spirit of
the law. He also said that the govern
ment lighthouse was on the lands in
question, but was not shown in the
survey, and added that the plat should
not remain for moment on the gov
ernment records, as it was false and
misleading.
