THE JOSE De
LEyBA GRANT
U. s. Supreme Court Afirms De-
oision Of Court Of Private Land
Claims Rejecting Claim on
Account Of Abandon
ment and Laches.
LAST NEW MEXICO CASE
VALUABLE TURQUOISE MINES INVOLVED

A telegram was received yesterday
from the clerk of the United States Su-
preme Court at Washington by the at
torney Of the United States Court Of
Private Land Claims stating that the
supreme court of the United States has
affirmed the decision of the United
States court of private land claims In
the Jose de Leyba land grant, located
near Turquesa in this county. The de-
cision was rendered by Mr.. Justice
court of private land claims in holding
that the grant was void on account of
abandonment and laches.
1t will be remembered that this
grant claim was filed by Mariana F.
Sena of this city, who alleged that he
purchased title thereto from the heirs
of the original grantee. Within the
limits Of the tract claimed within the
grant are located the valuable tur-
quoise mines Of the American Tur-
quoise Company; it was contended by
Sena's attorney that the grant was
made in 1928 to Jose de Leyba by the
Spanish king, that 1t was perfect
grant and that Sena came into possess
sion of the title thereto by purchase
1t was one of the very last grants pre-
sented to the court and the last New
Mexico grant pending in the courts.
The United States opposed the confir-
nation alleging that the grant was not
a perfect one even, if it had been, it
had been abandoned by the heirs of
Leyba many years before the Ameri-
can occupation; hence no title accrued
to Leyba's heirs or assigns. The Amer
lean Turquoise Company was made
party defendant and it's interest was
represented by Solicitor General =. L.
Bartlett The court of private land
claims held against Sena's claim and
rejected the grant. Sena appealed to
the United States supreme court which
1atter affirmed the .~oi-inn Of the Unit
ed States court
and thus the cas-
erican Turquois'
proceed to obt:
turquoise claim
it's of the rejected grant which claims
it has held, worked and operated for
five years and which proceedings were
in abeyance on account of the Sena
suit. Matthew G. Reynolds, ESQ.,, U. $.
attorney with the court of private land
claims, and Judge w. H. Pope, assist
ant attorney for the court, represented
the United States in the case, and did
good work. Mr.. Reynolds made the ar
gument before the United States SUI
preme court. Frank W. Clancy OF AL
buoueruue, was Sena's attorney, and
made a hard fight to win.
The closing of the case will prove OF
great benefit to the county Of Santa
Fe as the properties are very valuable
and as the American Turquoise Com
pany will now proceed with systematic
and extensive operations to develop Its
turquoise mines, erect buildings and In
crease the production of the very hne
turquoise found in the mines.

new YORK HAS
ANOTHER MYSTERY
Body of a Man With His Throat
Gut Was Found In a Barrel
On the Street To-
day.
NO CLUE HAS YET Been DISCOVERED.

New York, April 14.-Murder was dis
covered early today, according to the
police, by the finding of the body Of a
man, apparently an Italian, in a barrel
in East 18th street near the docks. The
mans throat was cut from ear to ear.
The body was warm when found and
the work of ferreting out the supposed
crime was begun at once, by detectives
The first and only clew found during
the several hours search, was the let
ters w. r. painted on the bottom of the
barrel, but the police think these letters
will aid in revealing the mystery 1t Is
supposed somebody intended to throw
the body into the river after bringing it
there in a wagon, but found the pier at
East 18th street closed and dropped the
load in the street in hurry, fearing
discovery.

A BRILLIANT WEDDING.
Reginal c. Vanderbilt and and Miss Cathleen
G. Nelson, We're Married This Noon.

Newport, r. L., April 14.-The we'd
ding of Reginald C. Vanderbilt of New
York, youngest son of the late Corne-
Illus Vanderbilt, and Miss Cathleen G.
Nelson, also of New York. which oc-
Cured at "Arleigh' at noon today was
a brilliant as well as an early begin
ming of the social season of 1908 at New
port. AS the marriage took place in a
private villa, it lacked much of the
splendor which usually attends church
functions. About $50 guests, nearly all
from New York were present. The
bride was given away by her uncle,
Frederick Gebhardt. The ceremony was
brief. It's completion was indicated by
the Mendellsohn Wedding March. A
reception followed and an inspection
was made of the bridal gifts, which
were declared to be probably as costly
an array as was ever bestowed on two
young people at the advent Of their
married life. Then came the wedding
breakfast. Mr. and Mrs. Vanderbilt
left for their new villa at Sandy Point,
a few miles up the island, during the
afternoon where they will spend few
daysprevious to three months trip
to Europe.

The Cup Challenger's HaIyard Gear
Could Not Stand the Heavy
Wind Which Came in
Hard Gusts.
LATER THE NEW BOAT RAN FAR AHEAD

Weymouth, Eng, April 14.-A race of
16 miles to leeward from off Weymouth
and to beat back, was laid out for the
Shamrocks today, but shortly after
leaving their moorings, weak spot de-
veloped in the cup challenger's gear.
When the boats got outside the wind
came in hard gusts and the yachts
seemed to have all they could stagger
under and required an occasional luff
up to ease them. The strain found
weak spot in the Shamrock HIS peak
flalyard gear. A man was sent aloft
and on his report, the yacht fetched in
to sheltered water and anchored.
The wind subsequently softened and
the boats were sent off on trial spin
to leeward and return. Shamrock I led
by length, but the new boat in a few
minutes, closed the gap and ran clear
ahead. The times at the finish were:

New Orleans, La, April 14.-The Ma

representing hundreds of millions of In

the most important annual convention
in the history of the organization. The
open and avowed hostility of President
D. M. Parry, towards the methods of
organized labor, has attracted wide at
tention and the largely increased dele
gate representation from the various
