ROGAN DEFINES SCOPE OF
Ketnet Decision. All Leases Not Al
feeted. Making Extra Work
Ia Land Oifice.


In Land Oifee.
Commissioner Rogan gave out the
the following Saturday, bearing on
the filing of applications for
school land:
From the character of cores
pondence received, and applica-
tions to purchase school lands
filed in the General Land Office
since the opinion delivered June 8,
1902, by our Supreme Court in
the Ketner case, it appears that
the public generally is of the
opinion that all school lands
heretofore leased in renewed or
consolidated leases in the absolute
lease territory are affected by said
decision.
"Such is not the case, for as
held by an opinion of the Attor-
ney General delivered to this de-
partment on June II, 1902, re-
lating to the Ketner case, only
such lands are affected as have
been placed upon the market and
embraced in cancelled leases which
were released or consolidated in
subsequent leases, which Cancelled
leases have expired. But few
leases are affected by the case
above referred to.
GAS held by the Ketner case
the Commissioner was without
authority to cancel leases except
for the non-payment of annual
rental, and therefore, all leases
Cancelled before their expirations,
unless for the non-payment of
annual rental, leases have not ex-
pired are now valid leases, and
being in the absolute lease terri
tory, lands embraced therein are
not subject to sale during the
life of the lease.
"By referring to the county
clerks records one should be able
to determine what lands are sub
iect to sale, as all leases, both the
old or Cancelled leases, as well
as the renewed or consolidated
leases, should be found of record.
applications to purchaes
school lands filed in this Office
for such lands not subject to sale
can only serve to increase and
retard the work of this depart
ment and cause a loss of time
and an unnecessary expense to
the applicant"

HERR KRUPP
is CALLED

Berlin, Nov. 23.-Herr Krupp, the
great gunmaker and the wealthiest
man in Germany, died suddenly from
apoplexy yesterday afternoon at his
villa at Huegel.
Krupp's village, where he died, is
several miles from Essen. The great
gunmaker lived there in almost feudal
fashion, and the place is now. unap-
proachable, nobody being admitted
within the gates except the police, di-
rectors of Krupp works and the under
takers and assistants.
Krupp was not, regarded as hard
master by his workmen. He, es-
tablished various institutions at Essen
for their benefit and built hundreds Of
model houses On sanitary principles
for their use, charging them moderate
rental. Moderate estimates OF the
fortune of the deceased place it at
$125 900, 900, the annual income during
recent years Of prosperity being $l0,-'
10000. Besides ironworks. and ship
yards he had an interest in many
financial enterprises and recently &C
quired extensive coal properties in
connection with the North German
Lloyd steamship cOmpany..~.'
Emperor William was very, fond of,
Krupp personally and frequently visit
ed him. The emperor often had him
as his guest at Berlin. AS special
mark Of distinction his majesty con-
ferred upon the gunmaker the title of
which usually is con-
fined to the highest officials, ambassa-
doris, etc.
