FIGHT FOR A MINE p
WORTH MILLIONS
Struggle for Iron Properties Of
Great Richness Renewed in
a Duluth Court.

Duluth, Mimi, May 22.-The pre-
liminary struggle for possession Of the
Clark & Leonard iron mines near CHS
holm, worth more than $4,OO0,00O, was
renewed today before Judge Cant in
district court.
The heirs disposed of the undeveloped
property some years ago for $14, 800.
The sale was made by their guardian
and was allowed by the probate court.
They now seek to have the sale set
aside and the property restored.
Of the real value of the properties
they say they were ignorant until after
their rights were decided away.
They believe that the difference. be:
tween it's worth and the price received
will justify the court in annulling the
sale. The heirs of James M. Rogers
sue for the annulment.

San Francisco, May 22.-That abso-

that all savings institutions would open
their doors on Monday, May %.
Many of the savings banks which
will commence active operations to-

has been agreed upon, give as a reason
for the early resumption Of business
the fact that it is good for the public

Among the savings institutions which
will resume operations tomorrow are

REVENGE IS MOTTO
Of CIGAR MEN.
Try Suppress Slot
Machines All Over if
Prohibited in Oakland
ENGAGE LAWYERS

OAKLAND, July 2o.---While no def
mite plan of operation has yet been pre-
pared by the executive committee of
the Retail Cigar Dealers Association
of this city regarding the suppression
of slot machines by the municipal au-
thorities, several lines of action are
under consideration. 1t is expected
that at the next meeting of the COM
mittee some decisive step will be taken.
The Oakland cigar men are determined
that if the machines are finally sup
pressed in this city they shall not be
operated anywhere in the State. To
this end they are prepared to fight the
case to-a finish.
It has been suggested, as announced
by one of the members, that test case
be arranged. and if an adverse decision
is rendered by the Police Court, shall
be appealed to the Superior Court, and
that pending decision Of the higher
court the Oakland police be enJoined
from interfering with the operation of
slot machines. The executive commit
tee is not yet ready to take such step,
and until they formulate and submit a
plan for the approval of the members
of the organization no action will be
taken.
A meeting of the committee was held
yesterday afternoon and several plans
were suggested for the final disposal
OF the question as to whether the OPP
Grafton of slot machines is violation
of the State law. No action was taken
The association has retained Attor-
news A. l.. Frick and NJ. c. Chapman TO
conduct the operations of the organ
izations in the courts, 1t is likely that
some plan will be presented by the at
torneys at the next meeting of the ex-
ecutive committee which, II approved
by its members. will be referred TO tho
association before final action Is taken
Oakland dealers declare that all they
want is fair play regarding the opera
ton of the machines. They are not
satisfied to have the devices suppressed
in this city and licensed in other cities
and towns of the State.
