WHO OWNS CL1PPERroy 1s1ANDs
A Lawsuit That Involves the Title to This EIr
or Pacific Land.

SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 9.-The question of the
nation to which Clipperton Island belongs may
be d decided in the courts. A case comes up to-
morrow which involves the title to the island.
The plaintiff is Capt. Permein. an old seafaring
man, and the defendant is the Oceanic Phos-
phate Company. Forty years ago Permoiu dis
covered Clipperton Island and hoisted the
American flag. He reported this fact to tho
posits, later transferring them to the Oceanic
Company.
Permcin now wants the transfer declared
void. The vexed question of which country has
tho right to exercise sovereignty over the
island has been investigated. The Secretary of
State has been communicated with. Contrary
to what has been reported the Secretary does
not say that it belongs to Franco. but simply
that according to some RaZeteers and other pub
locations, the island was first discovered by a
navigator sailing under the French flag.

the outrages. 1t was not tramps, but
simply some of the boys who, when
