WASH lNGTON, Mdrcn J.-Onlleu Sldtc7
Senator Clark of Montana today won the
case against him in the supreme court OF
the United States in which the government
sought to have cancelled patents to n'fN
acres of public lands i'm Montana which
were :, sed to have been fraudulently Sc
cureZ he opinion in the case was de-
liveE Justice Holmes, and upheld ;he
deci: of the circuit court Of appeals for
the h circuit Justices Harlan and
Bro issented.
II as "a civil proceeding instituted by
thc: rnment against Senator Clark Of
Mo- to secure the cancellation oil
eig 40 patents to land issued under
the! per and stone act.
Il large made by the government IN
its of complaint was that the patents
we.e Audulently secured and it was FUR
ther set forth that about eighty OF the
patentees are now under indictment in the
Montana courts 1t was asserted that
Senator Clark had entered into a contract
to purchase the land before the patents
were granted and that he knew or had
good reason to know that the proceeding
was fraudulent. The government charged
that Clark was not IA bona fde purchaser,
but that the court below, including the
court OF appeals, took a contrary view
holding that the issuance of patents had
the effect of converting his purchase of an
equity into a purchase of title. The printed
record in the case covered 1000 pages.
In his opinion Justice Holmes said:
The United States is attempting to upset
"A legal title, In order to do that II must
charge Clark with notice of the original
frauds. The fact that Clark, while he has
merely equitable or personal claim
against the government. held it subject TO
any defect which it might have, whether
he knew il or not was not equivalent TO
notice of the defect. lt is recognized In
the act of March B. 1891, that there may
be u bona fde purchaser before the patent
issues. The title when conveyed related
back to the date of the original entries.
Therefore actual notice must be proved.
But so far as actual knowledge or notice
on the part of Clark Is concerned both inc
courts below found I'm explicit terms that
the proof failed. We perceive no sufficient
reason for departing from the rule that
except i'm a very clear case where bolll
courts have conCurred we do not disturb
their findings OF fact. There is nothing
sufficient to show that Clark had actual
knowledge of the arrangement by which

made his purchase) got the land.

RUSSIA OFFERS POLICE PLAN
Scheme for French and Spanish Control Of

PROPOSITION MEETS WITH FAVOR

Their Concurrence with
This view.

ALGECIRAS. Spain. March 5.-This aft
ernoon's sitting of the conference on
Moroccan reforms was marked by an un-
expected and important move on the part
of the Russian delegates, who laid before
the conference an exposition of the police
question. The document, which infinitely
goes over the existing situation in Morocco
and analyses the position of the various
powers, concludes with an argument for
the proposition that France and Spain are
the most lit to be entrusted with the task
of controlling the police force which Is
about TO be created The British. Spanish
and Portuguese delegates expressed their.
concurrence in the Russian views Italy.
however, though inclined to favor the
scheme. reserved final approval.
Count Won Tattenbach the junior Ger
man delegate; Henry White. the chief of
the American delegation. and the delegates
of the several neutral powers did not ex-
press their views.
Discussion of definite police proposals
was postponed until Thursday, as the bank
project will be argued on Wednesday The
French and British delegates to the con-
ference regard the expressions from the
Mediterranean powers as not likely to exert
great influence on the final vote of the
neutrals relative to the policing of Mo-
rocco.
Attitude of Germany.
An official communication shows that
Herr Won Radowitz the first German dele
gate, also Joined in the discussion of the
police question and admitted that of neces-
sity the police force must be organized
by the sultan, but he claimed that there
should be participation by ap the powers
represented at the conference. The Ger
man delegates contention. therefore, is di-
roctly opposed to the Russian suggestion.
as Baron Bacheracht, the second Russian
delegate, argued that inefiiciency of coll
lective action by the powers in Morocco
mad been proved by the unsuccessful oper-
ations of the international sanitary COM
mittee at Tangier He pointed out that
French officers experience with Mussul-
mems and Spanish officers experience with
Riffians had placed them in the best posi-
ton to control the Moorish lements, which
eventually must form the main body of
the police by which the security of for
elgners is TO be assured and commerce IA
cilitated.

the Russian suggestion, following on with

consist of 2,co0 Moors. distributed at eight
ports each having four European nom
commissioned officers and the whole being
under command of sixteen French and
Spanish officers selected with the sultan S
assent and who shall become Moorish Off
cials
The Spanish delegates strongly support
JOINT Spanish and French control, arguing
IRON the point of view that the proximity
OF those countries to Morocco gave them
greater interests than the other powers.

Public Building Bill Coming.

The Subcommittee on public buildings
and grounds, charged with preparing
public building bill, has about completed
its labors and it is expected that a tentative
bill will be reported to the full committee at
its meeting this week. out of the number
of bills introduced for sites and buildings
by the Nebraska delegation, it is thought
Judge Norris, who is a member of the sub
committee, will urge an appropriation for
public buildings at Grand Island and York,
sites for which having already been pur-
chased by the government. In addition It
is expected that he will recommend so far
as Nebraska goes the purchase of sites for
Kearney, Columbus and Plattsmouth.
Should this prognostication prove true
Ave of the congressional districts will
be taken care of either by a public
building or a site. 1t is understood Mr..
mated to the members OF the Nebraska del
egation and particularly to the members
from that state on public buildings and
grounds committee. that his district is not
a candidate for either building or site. lead
ing towns in the second district being pro-
vided with public buildings.
