QUASH INDICTMENT
IN LAND FRAUDS
Charges of Conspiracy Against Three
Dismissed-Appeal to Supreme
Court.

Seattle, Wash--United States Judge
Hanford quashed the indictments
against Charles F. Munday, Earl E.
Siegley and Archie Shields, which
charged them with conspiracy to de-
fraud the United States in the loca-
ton Of Alaska coal lands. This was
done by agreement of counsel and the
defendants were discouraged. The
case win be appealed to IL supreme
court
The court proceedings were formal.
B. d. Townsend, representing the gov
eminent, said the courts ruling left
but one ground on which to base a
prosecution, namely, that the entries
had been for tie benefit of the Pa
cific Coal and OIL company, a foreign
corporation.
If this were the only land case
pending he would proceed 9TH the
testimony at once, but there were
many indictments and great interests
involved, and the government desired
that record be made here and re-
viewed by the supreme court, in or
NSt lAStb bHS QuSBUOnS IN controversy
might be settled for all time.
Therefore, he said, the government
would abandon its contention regard
ing the foreign character of the Pa
cific Coal and Oil company.
Counsel for the defense moved that
the indictments be quashed and the
defendants discharged on the ground
that the indictments did not charge a
crime. Mr.. Townsend assented to
the proposed action and, in order that
the defendants should not be placed
twice in jeopardy. asked that a juror
be withdrawn
The court struck of Juror No. 81,
quashed the indictments, discharged
the defendants and excused the re-
naming jurors.
The case will now be taken by the
government to the supreme court on
a writ Of error, and the tribunal of
last appeal will settle finally the IA
nous Alaska coal land cases.

WASHINGTON CONSIDERS
ULTIMATUM TO k..ExlC0
Taft Confers With Members of For
eIgn Affairs Committees of Con-
aress Over Situation.

Washington.-The White House is
giving serious consideration to an ulti-
matum to Mexico, said to involve
American intervention If peace is not
restored within a reasonable period.
The protection of American and
foreign interests viii be the grounds
upon which this drastic step will be
based.
As an alternative proposition, It
has been suggested to the president
that he send a commission to fteXico
for the purpose of placating the war
ring factions and restoring peace in
the republic.
Several names have been suggested
for this commission, among them that
OF Senator Root, who is said to have
created a favorable impression on all
the people of Mexico on the occasion
of his tour of the country. 1t is re-
garded as likely that he win head
such commission if 1t is decided TO
dispatch il across the border.
The situation In Mexico does not
improve. according to the adyices re-
SSA'pN ~ AAb piEGlAGtlls WHGtGAOAN
these attic moves are under con
sideration.
So tense is the situation and so
serious has it been ever since the
movement of troops was { 'cided
upon, that the president has con
vinced the members OF the foreii I af-
fairs committees of the house and
senate his action in mobilizink he
troops was imperative. Conditions in.
volving property rights Of United
States and foreign citizens were
critical.
Members of these committees who
called at the White House were given
to understand this was the reason for
the order to mobilize the troops in
Texas, and 1t is reliably stated that
the committee members went away
fully impressed and satisfied, leaving
with the president assurances that
any resolution introduced at the spe-
cial session OF congress that might
hamper the government or interfere
with the plans in view. will be quietly
suppressed.
The intimation that a secret al
lance existed between Mexico and
Japan the president told the mem
bers of congress, had nothing what
ever 10 do with sending the troops to
the border.
