RIVER BOTTOM, NOW DRY
LAND, SUED FOR AND WON
Island Owner Sustains His Claim For
$50 Acres Of Land Thus Added
TO His Holdings.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 14-When n river
changes It's course and leaves new dry
land along the shore OF an island. the
land belongs to the island, rather than
to the mainland, according to deci-
sion of Judge Wurdeman In the Clay
ton circuit court
The decision was In the case OF Mrs.
Caroline Blacker and II. William
Tushie against Charles vogelsmeier
which has been in the courts for
seven years.
Vogelsmeier owns what was once an
island OF 200 acres In the middle OF
the Missouri river, one. and a hall
miles below the Wabash bridge. Ter
years ago the channel changed from
the northwestern TO the opposite side
OF the island. That left $50 acres OF
fine farming land between the Blacker
and Tushie farms in ST. Louis county
and what was formerly Holmes Island
Vogelsmeier's domain. The litigation
was to determine to whom IL belonged

HERMIT, REFUSING AID,
SETS HIS OWN FRACTURE
Whites SpIints From Old Boards
With Which He Binds Up
His Broken Leg.

SPOKANE. Wash. Feb. 14.-Refus-
ing with some display of anger all
attentions proffered by sympathetic
neighbors. B Gray. an aged hermit.
set his own leg. broken Monday, when
a cellar which he was digging caved
in on him. The injured limb now
rests in an improvised splint made OF
rough boards whitfield and shaved by
Gray.
After repeated attempts to offer
him aid. neighbors who were driven
from the door by threats Of violence
have appealed to the police and the
humane society to force the aged her
NIT to suomit to the attention OF q
physician.
Gray has resided In this lonely
abode for the last year. Little is
xnown of him. Occasionally he is
seen wandering in vacant lots In
search Of fuel He does odd jobs and
is reputed to have considerable sum
OF money.

toners basket on March 4, next, or
soon thereafter With the approach
OF che end OF the session. the rum
blings portending disturbance IN the
state department grow louder.
The upheayal Is expected to center
in the diplomatic bureau. Dismissals
demotions, and transfers will be the
manifestations. Il Is believed, OF the
workings of the. inner machinery.
The clouds seem 20 be gathering
thickest about the head OF Henry
Lane Wilson, OF Spokane, Wash, am
bassador 10 Mexico. Wilson was pro-
NOTED to his present post from the
legation at Brussels, largely through
the efforts OF his brother, who is we'll
known as newspaper owner IN
Washington state.
II Is asserted that Mr.. Wilson has
been most unfortunate in the effect
his work has produced upon Secre-
tary Knox. II is admitted that this
position has been a trying one, owing
to the revolutionary and antiAmeri-
can disturbances in Mexico, which
have been growing more serious since
last summer. Yet, the fact remains
that his work has been pronounced
unsatisfactory. Whether he viii be
dismissed or merely transferred Is a
matter yet undecided; the latter al
tentative is said to be likely.
Since the resignation OF Oscar
Straus as ambassador TO Turkey, the
department has been searching for his
successor. No one has been chosen
as yet, and IL Is now expected that
transfers will be made to I'LL the
vacancy. Ambassador Rockhill at st.
Petersburg is named as the most like
ly candidate.
That two, and possibly three, Of the
posts in South America will have new
incumbents this spring is considered
certain. Little Is known, however, or
the changes contemplated In the
Latin-American countries.
Consideration Of the candidates for
the various posts to be affected by
the shake-up has been deliberately de-
ferred by President Taft and Secre-
tary Knox. For one reason, they
wished to devote their time during the
session OF congress, to other more
pressing matters. such as the propos-
ed reciprocity agreement with Canada,
and the potash dispute with Germany.
reason for the delay, hardly
less potent. Is that after congress adj
journs. the president may appoint
without thought of the senate. That
body will probably not meet until
next, and thus his appoin-
tees may hold ONCE in the diplomatic
service for nearly year before the
senate need be asked to confirm them.
Once in, II is believed almost any APP
pointee will be confirmed.
