Right to GOVERNMENT Timber.

The Supreme Court OF the United States
decided the OF the United States
against the Verde Copper Mining Company
of Arizona. which was a proceeding to re-
cover $4,000 on account lof timber cut from
the public lands and used In roasting ore
The act of January g. 1878. gave authority
to citizens to cut timber for agricultural.
mining and "other domestic purposes" and
also gave authority to the Secretary Of the
Interior to make regulations for the execu-
ton OF the law. One of the rules prescrib-
ed directed that timber should not be
used for smelling purposes. and it was con-
tended that the roasting of ore is smelt-
ing process. The opinion was by Justice
Mckenna. who held that the words do
nestle purposes" included the roasting OF
ore, and that the mining company was en-
titled to cut timber on the public land for
that purpose. He also held that the Sec
rotary had no authority to promulgate a
regulation extending the scope of the law,
as would be the effect In this case. II ore
roasting was to be construed as ore smelt-
ing. The opinion affirmed the decision Of
the Arizona supreme court.
Justices Harlan, Brown and Peckham
united in a dissenting opinion, based on
the theory that ore roasting Is not do
nestle process"

Down to Business.


When the commission composed of Au-
gust Hermann, chairman; B. B. Johnson
and Barney Dreyfus, and the presidents
of the various minor league organizations
as well as the representatives of individ-
ual clubs affected by decisions handed
down. got together it was evident that
there would be some friction. There was
But only for a little while. Though the
text of the decisions in all the cases had
been promulgated in the daily and sport
ing press of the country for over month
and in some instances for three times that
period, the minors-or rather some of them
displayed an ignorance Of the subject mat
ter that was astonishing But the commits
sion, sitting as a court of final appeal, and
passed judgment, and though the dissent
ers. headed by George Tebeau, made
showing so far as they were concerned. 1t
was a case of get off of the dock. And
they got off gracefully.
Chairman Hermann presented his annual
report when the meeting was called to
order. this being his first report since the
organization of the national commission In
September. 1903. He viewed the work of
the commission at considerable length, and
made a number of recommendations. many
of them of little public interest. During
the sixteen months covered by the report
10 cases had been adjudicated. all but four
of which had been accepted by the persons
interested Eight still pending.
OF his ten recommendations several re-
ferred to clearing the meaning in disputed
sections of the national agreement. but
probably the most important was that in
regard to fictitious dealing or covering up
of players. He CALEB attention to the ne
cessity for a revision of this provision. but
left the method to the commission.
Chairman Hermann called attention to
the fact that any action taken by the COM
mission looking to a revision of the ma
tional agreement would be only advisory,
changes could be made only with the
unanimous approval OF the National and
American Leagues and the National Asso-
citation.
AT the opening Of the meeting Ii was an
nounced that any demands that were to be
presented by the National Association
would not be heard until that association
had first agreed to the decision of the ma
tional commission in the four cases which
have not heretofore been acquiesced in In
one of these the claim of Player David l..
Brain against the Buffalo club the National
Association was granted a hearing In the
following cases the ruling of the commits
sion was accepted:
The claim of the St. Louis National
League club against the Providence club
on account of Player Yerkes: the conten-
ton of the Cleveland American League
club relative to the names of certain play
ers carried on the reserve lists OF National
