WILL MAKE APPEALS
Punishment for Alleged Frauds
to Be Asked by U. S.
CASES IN SUPREME COURT
Several Will Be Heard Soon After
Opening of Term.
STRACEY COAL LAND MATTER
Reversal of Action of Lower Tri-
bunal in Acquiring Munday
and Shields Wanted.
STRACEY COAL LAND MATTER

| The federal government will mark the
opening Of the coming term of the SUI
preme Court Of the United States by APP
!, pealng for punishment of several alleged
| instances of attempts to defraud the
| United States These have been advanced
| for early hearing.
! That likely to be the hardest fought is
the so-called "Stracey coal land case,
| The United States has appealed to the
court to reverse the acton of the United
States circuit court for western Washing
ton in quashing an Indictment against
Charles +. Munday and Archie ".
Shields. charged. with others. with "A con-
spiracy to defraud the United States of
approximately 1903 acres of coal land in
Alaska by means of false and fictitious
locations and entries, ostensibly for the
benefit of the persons, respectively. in
whose names the entries We're to be
made, but in fact for the benefit of two
corpora tons. The lower court held that
the coal land laws of the United States
applicable to Alaska did not prohibit the
acquisition of coal lands by the means
charged in the Indictment.
The court has advanced also the appeal
of Frederick A. Hyde and Joost II. Schnei-
der from the conviction in the District of
Columbia courts on charges of conspiracy
to defraud the United States out of large
tracts of public lands along the Pacific
slope Hyde vas sentenced to two years
Imprisonment and fine of $lO.CH and
Schneider to Imprisonment for one year
and two months and a fine of $1,000
Transfer of Indian Lands.
Another land case. in which the gov
eminent. however. does not set forth
any attempt to defraud it, concerns the
attempted transfer by members of the
Five Civilized Tribes of Indians of their
allotted lands in Oklahoma to investors
The government will urge it's alleged
right to bring a suit for the cancellation
of these reputed deeds In all. 5000
transfers are at stake. and the title to
about 100000 acres of land is involved
The government claims that as guardian
of the Indian. Ii has right 10 D. ing suit
to prevent the transfer of his l.nd i'm
violation of restrictions il has placed on
such transfer The lower court upheld
the exercise of such right.
A unique case. in which the government
claims that an attempt was made to de-
fraud the United States. is that against
Conrad A. Plyler. 1t is charged that
Plyler ambitious to be rural mail
carrier on route No. s. Waxhaw. Union
county. y. G.. and that in connection
with his application for the job he forged
a name to voucher OF recommended n
and another name TO a medical certifi-
cate. The United States district court
for western North Carolina held that
such was not fraud against the gov
eminent and dismissed the Indictment
but the government insists upon the va
lidity of the indictment.
