JUSTICE BREWERS IDEA
Of How Certain Glass Of Land Cases
Should Be Settled.

Washington, May 22.-The United
States supreme court has reversed the
decision of the supreme court of Utah
in the case of D. P. Tarpey VS.. Andrew
Madsen. The case is a controversy
over a tract of land within the place
limits of the grant to the Central Pa
cihc railroad of California, the land
being an odd numbered section. The
case involved a claim 10 the land made
in 1858, and in passing upon it the court
laid down some propositions concerning
railroad land grants which are conSld-
cred of general Importance.
The opinion was delivered by Justice
Brewer who said that in a proper inter-
probation of case of this character,
the relative rights of the company and
an individual entryman must be deter
mined not by the act Of the company
itself fixing definitely the line of its road,
or by the mere occupancy of the 1ndl-
Vidual. but by record of evidence, on
the one part the fling of the man in the
Office of the secretary of the interior and
on the other the declaration or entry in
the local land office; and while the rail-
road company may not question the
validity of the entryman's claim of rec
ord, its rights ought not to be defeated
long years after it's title had been ap-
parently fixed. by fugitive and uncer-
tain testimony of occupation; for if that
be the rule, the time Will never come at
which it can be certain that the rail-
road company has acquired an indefeas-
lble title to any tract

of the islands, relieving Estes G. Rath-
bone director of posts. Charges against
Mr. Rathbone of criminal negligence
have been multiplying daily. 1t is as
serted that he has not shown any indi-
cations of a desire to have official rec
ords kept and that he has improperly
endorsed expense accounts, his own and
Neely's to a surprising degree.
During the Investigations row in pro-
to leave the island. 1t is reported that
w. H. Reeves in his confession made
charges that reflect seriously upon Mr.
Rathbone's honesty.
Mr. Bristow and the inspectors have
found nothing but chaos throughout the
entire department Often no records
were kept for days at u time and to get
a thorough insight calls for the services
of every inspector now here. A consid-
cradle time must elapse before the facts
of the case will be known. Indeed it is
doubtful if the muddle will ever be en-
tirely cleared up. Every letter must
be gone through and every possible
transaction carefully recorded.
Mr.. Bristow has asked General Wood
to appoint a disbursing officer for the
present as he prefers an army man, not
knowing the men in the local office and
not being able to spare single 1nspec-
tor in view of the onerous investigation
ahead of him.
Deputy Auditor Lawshe had Reeves
brought to the Office to assist. Reeves
was in charge of Special Agent White
and had an interview with General
Wood which lasted more than an hour.
1t is understood that he furnished val
liable information which is helping to
clear away certain matters in doubt,
ments of his confession have not yet
been verified or cOrrObOrated.

HEADS A PROCESSION.
Reviewed by the President From

Fire Works Tonight on the
Presidents Grounds.

Washington, May 22.-The Mobiles OF
the Mystic Shrine held undisputed pos
session of Washington today. Weather
favored the Ancients and the brilliant
sunlight accentuated the decorations
that draped almost every building on
Pennsylvania avenue from the capitol
to the White House. The city resem-
bles a modern Mecca in the height of
pilgrimage season. Red fez caps with
the tiger claw emblem of the shrine
are more in evidence than the conven-
tional headgear of the American citi-
zen and many of the buildings down
town look as though they had been cap
tured by an invading army of Sara
Gems
President Mckinley lent himself to
the demonstration and reviewed the
early morning procession from the
White House porticO when hundreds OF
the Arab patrols in bizarre Oriental
trappings escorted Imperial Potentate
Atwood to the Columbia theater where
the imperial council convened at 10
o'clock.
While the leaders of the different
clans were busy in official council the
ladies OF the visiting tribes were cap
tured by the local shrine, imprisoned in
trolley cars and carried off by force
and arms over the desert wastes OF
Washington asphalt for a two hours
ride that took in all the sights of the
capital city. The prisoners were re-
freshed at Hotel Oasis en- route and at
O'Clock were surrendered to their lords
and masters after which the imperial
council journeyed to the Seventh street
wharf and boarded one Of the river
steamers which carried them down the
Potomac to a planked sllad dinner.
This evening there will be a parade

FOR NEELY.
Strong Fight Inaugurated
Against His ExtraditiOn.

Washington, May 22.-John D. Lind
sey, attorney for Charles P. Neely, ap-
peared before the house judiciary COM
mittee today and submitted an argu-
ment against the proposed extradition
bill He also pres a voluminous
brief The proposition to subject an
American citizen to trial in a country
where a Spanish system of laws are in
vogue, he contended, was utterly op-
posed to American traditions. The fun
damental theory at ~the base of our
system, he said assumed a man placed
in Neely's position to be innocent until
competent and legal evidence was ad-
duced to prove him guilty.
This fundamental principle, he
claimed, was fiouted by the Spanish law
which was based on the old Latin sys-
tenn, and assumed a man guilty as soon
as charged. The burden of proof was
placed upon him; Mr.. Lindsey was
closely questioned by members of the
committee He claimed that Nicely
could only be tried in the United States
and only on the charge of violating a
law making it a felony to bring into
the United States money emoezzled

Secretary Hay told them yesterday was
final and that the position of the United
States was that this country could not
interfere in the present struggle in
South Africa. The president confirmed
this view. He said that the action he
took some time ago when at the request
of the Transvaal that this government
should intervene he offered his good Of
fees to England to bring about peace
he did with great pleasure in the hope
that it might possibly bring the con-
f1ict to an end. This offer had been de-
clined by Great Britain and he said
there was nothing further that the Uni
ted States could do in the premises.
The ENJOYS intimated that they were
glad to feel that they had friends in this
country and then bade the president
gOOdbye.

NIECE OF DOM PAUL.
Shot During a Riot in COnnec-
tiOn With st. Louis Strike.

st. Louis, May 22.-Miss Minnie Kru-
ger who was shot and slightly wounded
while watching a strike riot yesterday
is a grand niece of Dom Paul, president
of the Transvaal, so she says She was
hit in the thigh by a spent ball while
standing in front of her house.
The number of cars operated by the
ST. Louis company is being increased
daily with the help OF non union men
from other cities. and also deserters
from the ranks of the strikers, so gen
eral Manager Baumhon says. This the
strikers deny. The work of repairing
the wires and clearing the debris from
the tracks is progressing rapidly, but it
will probably be several days before
the lines traversing the northern part
of the city will be operated anything
like the way they were before the strike.
a number of United States deputies
have been sworn in for patrol duty
along the Transit company lines and in
the vicinity of all Transit company
property.
Mr.. Baumhoff says that it will not be
long before the cars on the system will
be running as regularly as they were
before the strike He said that he is
satisfied with the progress made and
that if the company receives the neces-
Sary police protection it will soon be
operating all its cars despite the strik-
ers. L have had no trouble in secur-
ing men to take places left vacant by
the strikers said Manager Baumhoff.
'and now have more men that I have
places for.
"A number of the strikers who for
merly worked on the Lindell Olive
street, Laclede avenue. Market street
and Union depot lines" he said, have
returned to work and whenever possible
were given their old positions" Just
how many strikers had deserted Mr..
Baumhoff could not say, but he said
that considerable number of them had
returned to the Transit company s
ranks.
A delegat N of street railway men
called at the mayors Office to ask for
transportation to New Orleans. The
men claimed that they were induced to
come to St. Louis to take positions on
the street railroads with the under
standing that the Transit company was
greatly enlarging its facilities and in
need of additional men, On this repre-
sentation the spokesman said. seventy
six men came, but on finding that a
strike was in progress, some refused to
/ go to work.
/ B. &. Kilgore, an old employe of the
! st. Louis Transit company, and a non-
union man, was shot in the back by ar
unknown assai1ant this morning and
seriously hurt 1t is expected he will
recover. Kilgore, who has been q
switchman for the Transit company fol
! some years was walking on Armstrons
/ avenue, when two shots were fired from
behind him One bullet struck KilgOrC
| in the back. He walked on to the pow
er house of the road and afterwards was
l sent in a buggy to the hospital.
