VAST AMOUNT OF LAND
IS NOW IN LITIGATION
Title to Area in Kentucky
Larger Than State of Dele
ware Before the Court

WASHINGTON, oct. &.--An empire
larger than the entire state OF Delaware
or the island of Porto Rico, lying In the
state Of Kentucky, Is the prize at stake
today i'm the supreme court of the United
States. Presentation of the controversy
TO the supreme court today in oral argu-
ments will reveal an unusual story in the
western advance OF American civilization.
Owing to the carelessness with which
virginia is said to- have issued grants
just after the revolutionary war to the
unsurveyed and little know lands I'm what
I is now eastern Kentucky, greatest con-
fusion has arisen as TO the true owners
Of the land In the eastern counties OF
that commonwealth. TO add TO this con-
fusion, II is said Kentucky did little bet
ter than the mother state, Virginia, In
the first years of her history. As q re-
suit. additional blanket grants made
by the new state are now challenged.
LARGE AREA IN DISPUTE.
On all. about 10000 acres OF land are
said to lie under the doubtful title Of
these blanket grants. or this amount
the Eastern Kentucky Coal Land corpor-
alton, of which C.. b. Hillhouse, Is ac-
credited with being chief stock owner,
claims title to half a million acres. On
the other hand, 10000 citizens of the
state OF Kentucky have entered these
l
grant call them "squatters." The at
torney general of the commonwealth of
Kentucky has appeared in the supreme
court to insert in defense of their claim
of title that they are the people who
have built I'D the state, and erected a
commonwealth, with its courthouse and
school houses, its municipalities and
internal improvements.
They have for years, the attorney gem
eral has said in a brief filed with the
court paid taxes on the land. while a
search of the records, where such in
formation would be found, he avs,
shows that the sum total Of all taxes
paid by the claimants under the Virginia
grants in litigation since the organization
of Kentucky in 1872 to the present time,
does not exceed $40.
LEGISLATION is CONDEMNED.
Recent legislation in Kentucky resulted
in decisions by the state courts which
practically took away any title which
claimants under the blanket" grants
might have had. These claimants now
come to the supreme court in a final APP
peal, denounclng the legislation AZ
''spoliation'' and 'lawless confscation,
revolutionary and subversive of all con-
stitutional and orderly government"
In the back ground of the legal contest
are many stories of conflict and suffering
resulting from the confusion of owner
ship. Not only have there been conflicts
between the claimants by virtue of the
blanket" grants and of possession, but
hundreds of innocent purchasers Of ttc-
titious titles to the land are said to have
spent their fortune i'm going to Kentucky
TO lind osmeone already in possession OF
the land which they had paid their money
