TEN MILLIONS INVOLVED
If This Suit Is Successful, the Railroad Company Will Later Be Deprived of Other Lands of the Value of $5O,OO0,OOO.

Los Angeles, Dec. 10.-A legal struggle tc recover from the Southern Pacific oil lands worth S1O,OOO 900 was instituted on behalf of the gov ernment in the federal court today The action relates specifically to 6.19O acres in the Midway district. If the government is successful in wrest- ing the title from the railroad the Southern Pacific will lose other lands worth s5O,OOO,OOO more in the same district
 Misrepresentation, fraud and deceit are charged against the railroad com pany in the complaint which was filed by District Attorney McCor- mick in the name of Attorney Gen eral Wickersham, who signed the documents. The complaint also de- clares that the governments own off cials were negligent. as they granted patents covering the lands to the rail- road without investigation, relying simply upon the statements of the defendant corporation regarding the character of the land.
 The Kern Trading & Oil company. subsidiary of the Southern Pacific, is named in the suit as having been organized as Q dummy for the sole purpose of futhering the railroads alleged fraudulent, dishonest and un- lawful purpose of withholding the laQd from the rightful owner. the United States.
 The action filed today has been ex- pected ever since the close of the mining congress in September At that gathering speakers declared that the Southern Pacific could and should be busted from possession of the oil lands, as all the patents to vast |. tracts held by it in the California petroleum fields had been granted by the government under the congress sionaI act of 1866. which gave to a railroad a right to every alternate section of land on either side of the right of way. provided such sections did not include mineral lands.
