WORSE OTHER PLACES
Crop Condiditions Better Here
 Than in Other Sections

l nan III OtAer SSCuOnS
 A trip to Ft Smith and swing around on the Oklahoma border during the past week has been the means of The Tribune editor making the observation that crop conditions. as discouraging as they are, are far better locally than those obtaining in many other sections.
 In going south from Seligman the disastrous effects of the ex- cessive rains increase almost with each succeeding mile until the Arkansas river valley is reached, where the floods have wrought wholesale destruction. Leaving Ft. Smith over the K. c. s. road there were miles and miles of the Porteau bottoms under water. Not foot of soil was exposed on many farms, only fence posts and partly sub- merged buildings being left in sight to tell the story of improve ments. The fields in many places it looked would make fine boating. From various sources we learned that like conditions prevail in a large portion of South Arkansas and througnout much of Oklahoma.
 Corn crops varied in the same localities from barely discernable in the rows to full tassel. Some fields looked clean and promising but they were the exception. Along the M. & N. A. one is al- most amazed to see corn crops looking as we'll as they do, when there has scarcely been two days in succession since March that farmers could cultivate.
 It was refreshing, however, to note that in the face of prevailing conditions people with whom we fell in contact on this trip generally seemed of good cheer and hopeful. Ft. Smith continues to cut wide swath in the matter of improvements. No city in the country has advanced with more rapid strides during the past ten years and there is yet no let up. Many great enter- prises are being pushed ahead as though the place had never been touched by the panic or the distressing rains.
 Our return trip was made by the way of Neosho, Mo-, for the purpose of Inspecting" Mis-. souri portion of the M. & N. A. extension. It is a good road developing fine country, lack ing only the mountains of the Arkansas portion of being equal to the best country the road traverses. There is a stretch of 40 miles or so between Wood- ruff on the Frisco above Seligman and Neosho that is as fine a country as can be seen any where within the same distance from Green Forest. It is one continuous field of meadow, wheat, corn or orchards, level and strong soil. Some good towns are going to be built in this esection, chief among which will be Fairview. It is more centrally located and seems to have the bulge on the rest. J. w. Wilson, for several months agent at Green Forest, is the agent at Fairview. Already the town has substantial busi- ness appearance, among other enterprises, a First National Bank"

Retired Chancellor Of German Legation.


American citizen and enjoyed the conf
dence of the German government at Ber-
lin as we'll as the representatives Of the
kaiser in America.
His first appointment came while Baron
Gerolt was the German minister to
America and before the post had been
raised to an embassy. Baron Gerolt was
minister from Germany during the civil
war. At one interval Mr.. Buddecke had
no direct connection with the business of
the embassy, but was detailed on special
work for the German government. The
character Of this detail was always held
strictly confidential by Mr. Buddecke.
When Count Arco was the minister
here Mr.. Buddecke was admitted into
his confidence. They were frequently
seen walking together. and eventually be-
came fast friend. Mr.. Buddecke was re-
tired while Baron Thielman was minister
His position was unique one In the for
eign service of the German government.
In point of years no one has ever held
one position for SO lengthy term.
Mr.. Buddecke married Miss Margaret
Bruehl of Washington shortly after COM
ing to America from his native land,
Westphalia, over forty years ago. She
and their son survive him.
Funeral arrangements have not been
completed, but services will probably be
held Monday.

COAL LAND TEST CASE AReuEO
SUPREME COURT HEARING AP-
PEAL OF GOVERNMENT.
Moral Turpitude Denied by Defense,
Which Claims to Have Followed
Precedent

The test cases known as the Colorado
coal land cases. in which it is sought to
punish those who have secured an ex
cessive acreage Of coal lands. came up
for hearing in the United States Supreme
Court yesterday.
Argument was begun by Edwin II.
Park Of Denver. Col, counsel for ten de-
PENDANTS. The arguments were continued
today by F. n. Judson Of st. Louis. who
will be followed. in turn. by John NJ
Waldron OF Denver. who was special
prosecutor with Judson Harmon and with
the present Justice Moody Of the Supreme
Court In the Santa Fe rebate cases; B.
w. Ritter OF Durango and F. n. Miller,
former attorney general OF Colorado.
There are four cases in all. entitled
United States agt. Keitel ct al. United
States agt. Forester ct al. United States
aEt. Herr and Franklin and United States
agt. Harr.
According to the indictments. which were
originally called In question before and
quashed by Judge Robert T. Lewis OF the
United States district court for the dis
trict Of Colorado. and from whose de-
cision an appeal has been taken by the
government to the Supreme Court. the
laws. are entitled to take up hut 100
acres Of coal lands each as individuals.
or 800 acres. as an association. conspired
with others to take up coal lands in
their names and then assign them. until
now. It Is alleged. the defendants are in
possession Of from loo to 5000 acres
each.
1t is said that Judge Lewis. in quashing
the indictments. held that the coal land
statutes provided no penalty for their
violation. particularly in the matter OF
acreage: that they did not prohibit the
alienation Of the entry or the right Of
entry. and that there was no moral
turpitude involved in the transactions
charged in the indictments.
The appeal to the Supreme Court is
taken under the act OF March 2. 1907.
Many similar cases are now pending in
the United States district courts in the
west whose fate will be determined by
the decision Of the Supreme Court in
these cases. Title to many thousands OF
acres Of coal lands alleged to have been
illegally secured Is involved
The contention OF the defendants Is
| that in securing the lands held by them
they have simply followed the custom
and procedure Of the past thirty
years In taking up these lands. II is also
claimed that the general land Office has
actually affirmed and passed a patent for
lands thus taken. with full knowledge
Of all the facts, and that moral turpitude
has never been imputed to those who Sc
cured them until President Roosevelt took
q hand in the matter.
