Guard. in 1891. went to the Philip

vancement recalls an incident that
marked the time when he was elected
colonel. The election was held in the
evening. During the day Mr.. Smith
who is p lawyer. was engaged in de-
Tending fifty Cinnamon charged with
gambling. During the hearing the
Judge suddenly asked the prosecutor
to point out certain ones of the in
dirtod Cinnamon who were supposed
to be standing among the horde Of
Oricutals in the back of the room.
The prosecutor could not and asked
Mr. Smith to do so. Mr.. Smith de-
riined. the prosecutor persisted. the
Judge insisted. and the future general
remaining defiant, was sent to jail for
contempt Of court. He went to jail
late in the afternoon and that very
evening was elected colonel. The next
morning the newspapers throughout
the state published a brief Associated
Press dispatch from San Francisco re-
!ating the fact that James F. Smith
lad been elected colonel of the First
Regiment. The fact that he was also
in Jail was omitted. A friend of Mr.
Smith, who had gone to Napa the day
before, saw the dispatch and imme-
diatcly sent the following conGratu-

The state of Kansas and other Off
GERS representing it presented a petit
ton recently to Acting Secretary OF
the Interior Ryan, praying an inter
view and reversal of departmental
decision relative to the Fort Hayes
military reservation. They want the
land vacated and turned over to the
state. The Kansas officers claimed to
have discovered that certain survey
maps and plats shown by the general
land Office in Washington and neces-
sary to the former departmental de-
cision are not on file in the local
United States land Office at Wakecney
and never have been on file there, says
a Washington correspondent of the
Globe Democrat. For that reason they
claim that Cox and his associates, who
filed homestead applications for the
land, could not have obtained original
right by the mere filing of these papers
Of application, not being long estab-
lished rule OF the land department,
founded upon the statute, that local
land offices can not allow applications
or entries until after the filing in the
local land office Of the requisite maps
and plats. showing the surveys and
subdivisions of sections and quarter
sections of the lands An investigation
into the matters presented by this pc
ttion and information ELECTED by the
department through correspondence
with the local land Office at Wakeeney
Corroborated the statements of the
Kansas officers representing the state.
Acting Secretary Ryan has directed
the commissioner of the general land
office, Mr.. Hermann, to call upon Cox
and other individual applicants for
these lands TO show cause why these
applications should not be rejected and
he lands made over to the state under
the recent act of congress granting the
unappointed lands in the reservation
to the state for agricultural college
purposes. 1t is a settled rule in the
department that a former decision for
an entry of land will never be vacated
upon an eX parte showing and hence
Cox and his associates are accorded
an opportunity in this instance, to
fully set forth their claims and views
The papers presented recently strongly
Indicate that the department can MOI
lawfully do otherwise than award the
land to the state of Kansas. Senator
Harris and the assistant attorney gen
eral of Kansas, and a number Of other
prominent Kansans were In Washing
ton recently interesting themselves in
the case. In the petition which they
presented at the interior department
they include some interesting exhibits,
such as a photograph of the map of
Fort Hayes military reservation now
in the land office at Wakeeney. show
ing that the divisions and Subdivisions
are not indicated on it. and also a
photograph of the map in the General
Land Office here, in which such sub
divisions are shown. In rendering
the original decision favorable to Cox
the department was not aware of the
difference between the two maps, and
it could not but presume that they
were alike. Why the difference exists
is not apparent as yet, but will prob
ably be brought out in the further
hearing of the case.
