MUNCIE, Ind, Oct. 4-Judge LETTER has
overruled the demurrer Of the Consumers
Gas Trust Company in the case OF Benja-
min Couch against that company, which
has been pending in the Circuit Court. This
IS one of the most important decisions to
eastern Indiana landowners ever made in
the Delaware court. The courts ruling
will affect eighteen similar cases pending.
Judge Letter held that a gas and oil COM
pany could not hold lease for gas and oil
purposes year after year by simply paying
acreage rental. but that II the company de-
sired TO keep the leases alive 1t must ex-
plore the land and develop 1t for oil and
gas; that the object Of such leases is to de-
velop the land for oil and gas, and that the
landowner Is entitled to have his land de-
veloped or the lease Cancelled. This ruling
will affect thousands of acres Of gas and
oil land In this county. Landowners who
have been waiting for years under such
leases TO have their land developed will
now commence like suits to have their
leases cancelled.

Most Prosperous Year.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
BLOOMINGTON. Ind. Oct. 4-Indiana
University has just entered upon what
seems from present conditions TO be the
most successful year in the history OF the
institution. The end of the first week OF
college veveals the fact that there are
now more students here than at any other
one term. At present the enrolment stands
at 7i5. an increase OF sixty over the fau
term OF last year: and in view OF the fact
that there Will be a few who will come I'm
as late the last Of next week. il Is safe
TO estimate the Increase this year over last
year at seventy-five. The total enrolment
for the year up TO the close OF the spring
term was 1,2S5. and IL Is thought that the
LOO mark Will easily be reached by the
close OF this year. In that the summer term
this year showed a big increase.

The State Department has not been ad-

note results directly in pressure upon Rou-
mania by the signatories, the condition of
