thousand Oakland voters today
are digestjng one of the strongest
speeches Gov. Johnson has made
in his swing around the state in
defense of the constitutional
amendment for the recall, init!a-

the people," said Gov. Johnson,
when they want to use it. The
referendum reserves to them the
right to block legislation they do
not want.

WOLGAST BEATEN BY
FORMER LEGISLATOR
Herman G.. HUT Makes the
Champion Clinch to Save
Himself.

Philadelphia, Jan 27.-Ad wolgast
today met defeat at the hands of
Herman G. HUT, former state legis-
lator and one time holder OF the world $
record for bag punching HUT weigh
ed nearly thirty pounds more than the
lightweight champion when they step
ped into the ring in Hutt's private
gymnasium. which had been turned
over TO Wolgast as training quarters.
At the tap of the bell, HUT shot over
a left that rocked the champions head
and he followed it up with a left up
percut. bringing the blood from Ads
mouth and nose. which surely would
have been a sleep producer had not the
men been fighting with seven ounce
gloves.
After the two blows AID ran into a
clinch and refused TO be separated
from his fat opponent until he got his
bearings and cleared his vision. From
the first round, which was all Hutt's.
wolgast simply spared. keeping away
from HUT and never taking chance
of connecting with any real hard
punches HUT. however. did a good
deal of damage about the body.
The impromptu fight was arranged
so the fight experts might get a line
upon that alleged injured left of VOL
CAST. The experts came away with the
idea that IL that left ever was better
than it is right now there is no light
weight in the country who has any
chance with the Michigan wonder.
Experts who have seen both Knock
out Brown and Ad in action feel that
1t is curtains for Knockout when the
two men meet Feb S. They also pre-
dict Moran never will last in a finish
fight.

For the purpose of determining

IN III TAM ~ AANAAAGe4G44GAae
Under date of August 4, 1911,
Acting Secretary of the Interior
Samuel Adams issued a ruling ma
terially affecting the homestead entry
provisions, which viii be of interest
to many Herald readers, the gist Of
which is as follows:
In the matter of proof submitted
under the homestead Law, it seems
that a practice has existed accord
ing to entrymen, where residence is
begun within six months following
the date of entry, credit for resi-
dence beginning with the date of the
entry. The result is that where a
party takes up an actual residence
just at the expiration of the six
months following the making of his
entry, he is accorded a constructive
residence for the intervening six
months and is thus permitted to
secure title on proof of residence for
a period Of only four years and six
months.
There is clearly no statutory
authority recognizing the period of
constructive residence referred to.
On the contrary, the statute is
specific in requiring I'VE years resi-
dence.
The practice of according credit
for constructive residence covering
the period of six months following
the allowance of the entry is, pehaps
due to an erroneous Interpretation Of
of section 1927 of the Revised Stat
utes, by which section it is provided
that on proof to the satisfaction of
the register and receiver that a per-
son had actually changed his resi-
dence OF abandoned the land cover
ed by his homestead entry for more
than six months at any one time,
then, in that event, the land so en-
tered shall revert to the Government.
While said section may protect a
homesteader from contest for
abandonment for a period of six
months following the allowance of
his entry, it is clearly not authority
for according the entryman credit
for constructive residence during
that period.
After most careful and mature
consideration of this matter I feel it
my duty to disregard the erroneous
practice heretofore obtaining in your
Office and to direct that you exact of
homestead entrymzn proof Of resi-
dence for the full period of 1--WE
years, as required by the statute,
before the same can be approved as
a basis for the issuance Of patent
thereon. Because Of the long Prac-
tice heretofore prevailing, / be-
leve II right and proper to give
ample time for notice Of the contem- I
plated change before putting the
anne into effect. I have, therefore, /
10 advise you that in all instances :
zhere ordinary final proof is sub
nitted under the homestead laws on o
II after the LIST day of December d
text, the Law as above interpreted .
,e followed. e
