After citing an opinion by Asst. Atty.

L. D., 30l, Judge Marshall again says:
"A different Interpretation would de-
prive the states of many of the bene-
fits intended by the grants Of the gem
eral government and It would leave the
title OF land so granted unsettled indeh-
nitely, although title had been trans
ferred TO innocent purchasers, except as
Congress has since the date of the act

such could not have been the intent OF
the statute. But as the other parties
to the transaction complained of. in
Guiding the state, are alleged to have
been mere agents of the above company
for the procurement OF the title in def
ance of law. and that company is
charged with knowledge of the facts
rendering the title voidable, see no
way in which this distinction can adj
vantage the defendants.
so far as the demurrer interposes

lions, II has been withdrawn without

port of the demurrer We're advanced In

to the complaint, and the cases will sub
sequently be tried in the federal court

A decision that promises to DO of
far-reaching effect was rendered to-
day by Judge john A. Marshall in the
United States district court, when the
demurrers of defendants We're sus-
tanned in the cases of the United States
versus the Utah Fuel company, ct al,
and the same plaintiff against the
Pleasant Valley Coal company ct al.
If lntmations made by Judge Marshall
eventuate when the cases finally come to
trial, there will be an overturning of
matters relating to coal lands In this
state. Taking as authority long estab-
lishei rules of the department Of the hi
terror. the court holds TO the
opinion that not only does the
state have no right to dispose of
lands known TO contain coal. but If IT,
tie passes and 1t subsequently develops
that coal actually underlies the land.
although 1t was not known at the dime
that such was the case, the ownership
by innocent persons is not only voidabl
but void.
UTAH FUEL LOSE.
In the case against the Utah Fuel
company, the suit was brought to quiet
title, for an accounting of coal hereto
fore mined from certain lands. and for
an Injunction against the further eX-
traction of coal. The Morton Trust
company of New York, a mortgage was
made a party defendant, and both it
and the Utah Fuel company demurred
specially to the bills. the latter on the
ground that it Is citizen OF New Jer-
sey ana that suit can only be main
tanned in that district. The trust COM
pany demurs on the ground that it is
a resident of New York and can only
be sued in that state. Both objections
