CHICAGO, ILL.,, July 30.--A Washing
ton correspondent of The Tribune says:
Secretary Hitchcock, by direction of the
President, has issued an order withdraw
ing from entry 100000 acres of public
lands which are known to possess work
able coal. The order perhaps is in CON
travcntion of q revised statute. which
provides that all valuable mineral depos-
its Oh lands belonging to the United
States are free and open to purchase.
The examination by the geological sur
vey iii accordance with the instructions
of the President developed that there
were a6,otMW0 acres o. pubic hand be
lieved to contain coal deposits. The
President, though, desired the withdraw
al of only those sections known to pos
sess workable coal
The coal lands withdrawn are Situ-
ated in New Mexico, Colorado, Utah.
Wyoming, North Dakota. Montana, Ore
gon and Washington.
Action Declared Sociahstic.
The action Of the President and Sec
Rotary Hitchcock in this matter is social
istic in the extreme. 1t means that the
government has taken possession of coal
lands capable of supplying the nation

DECISION IS UNJUST
LOCAL ATTORNEYS TALK
They Think That Supreme Court De-
cision Will Reduce Divorces and
Work Much Injustice on Those
Affected by Law.

II the Judge in the Wayne Circuit
Court holds to the recent decision of
the Supreme Court, in the matter of
divorces, it will not be so easy to Sc
cure legal separation hereafter. A d.
vorce In one state does not hold good
In another state, according to the SUI
preme Court decision, unless both
plaintiff and defendant were present
when the separation was granted.
In speaking of the matter, lawyers
here say the decision, II strictly adj
hered to, will be outraged upon those
who have been granted a divorce
since the present divorce law has
been in force. Defendants who were
not present in the court room could
bring suit to have the divorce pro-
ceedings declared null and void. This
would have to take pace in another
state. as the persons were legally sep
arated in the state wherein they Sc
cured their divorce.
This will affect The Dakota divorce
system to a great extent, in that
both parties will have to appear or at
least have personal summons served
upon them.
