CLARK GETS DECISION
MONTANA SENATOR WINS FROM
GOVERNMENT IN FEDERAL
SUPREME COURT.

Washington, March 5. - United
States Senator Clark OF Montana has
won the case against him in the SUI.
preme court Of the United States in
which the government sought to have
cancelled patents to 11,400 acres of
public lands in Montana which were
alleged to have been fraudulently Sc
cured. The opinion in the case was
delivered by Justice Holmes and up
held the decision of the circuit court
of appeals for the Ninth circuit.
This was a civil proceeding insti-
tuted by the government against Sen
ator Clark to secure the cancellation
of e%ighty-two patents to land issued
under the timber and stone act. The
charge made by the government in its
bill of complaint was that the patents
We're f%raudulently secured and it was
further set forth that about eighty of
the patentees are now under indict-
ment in the Montana courts. 1t was
asserted that Senator Clark had en-
tered into a contract to purchase the
land before the patents were granted
and that he had known, or had good
reason TO know, that the proceeding
was fraudulent. The government
charged that Clark was not a bona fde
purchaser, but the courts below, in
Guiding the court OF appeals. took the
contrary view. holding that the issu-
nee Of patents had the effect of con
verting his purchase of an equity into
q purchase of title. The printed record
in the case covered 1000 pages.

TARIFF BILL KILLED
SENATE COMMITTEE REFUSES TO

ING PHILIPPINES,

Motion for a Favorable Report De-
feated by a Vote of s to S, the Mem.
eers Then Tabiine a Motion to Send
1t t. the Senate With an Adverse
Report-The Bin Approved in the
House by Large Majority.
WASHINGTON. March BY q vote of
s to 5 the senate committee on Phil.
ippines defeated the Payne bill. which
had passed the house by a vote of 25S
to Il. The action OF the committee
had been foreshadowed for nearly a
week, although the exact vote had not
been known. The senators voting for
the bill were: Lodge, Beveridge. Long.
Casmack and McCreary. The mega
tive votes were: Hale, Burrows. Dick,
Nixon, Brandesee, Culberson. Dubois
and Stone.
After this decisive action had been
taken Mr.. McCreary moved that the
bill be reported TO the senate ad,
yersely in order to give the senate a
chance TO consider it. Mr.. Brandegee
moved TO table the motion and this
was carried by a vote of Z to s, Mr..
Nixon voting with the minority on this
proposition, This action efsectually
disposes OF the measure unless the
chairman of the committee should ap
peal TO the senate by resolution. This
course is regarded as unlikely.
Lodge criticises Action.
After taking action as stated in the
foregoing MI. Lodge, the chairman,
addressed the committee. He said
the course proposed was unusual and
that there could be no good purpose
accomplished in thus preventing the
senate from reviewing the action of
the committee ii it desired. The op-
ponents OF the bill made no reply.
After the bill had been effectually
disposed OF Mr.. McCreary moved to
report his bill, which provided for free
trade with the Philippines, imme-
diately. This motion was lost, only
four senator's voting in the afirma-
tive. They were McCreary, Culberson,
Carmack and Stone.
The Payne bill provides for the re-
duction of duty on sugar. tobacco and
rice, imported from the Philippines,
to 25 per cent of the Dingley SEIZED

three years.
