Suit for Choice Coal Land.

Denver.-The United States govern.
ment entered suit in the United
States District Court against the Car
bon Coal and Coke Company, a sub
sidiary company of the American
Smelling and Refining Company, bet
ter known as the smelter trust. and
the Exploration Company, Ltd. one of
the largest British mining corpora
lions in the world. to recover coal
lands in Colorado alleged to have been
fraudulently acquired by means of the
dummy entryman system.
The value of the lands in controver-
sly is rated at not less than $4,000
900. They are declared by govern
ment experts to be among the choicest
coal properties in the state.
The suit is based on a new point of
law to the effect that the statute of
limitations as ordinarily construed
does not actually apply to these cases.
II is contended that the statute of
limitations does not commence to run
until the fraud is discovered
The suit against the Carbon Coai
and Coke Company embraces eight
coal entries made in 1901. consisting
of 1850 acres at Cokedale, where the
company's plant is located.
The lands are alleged to have been
taken by dummy entries in 1908 and
1904.
The Investigations were made under
the supervision of the field division of
the General Land Office for Colorado.
of which NJ. d. McEniry is chief, in
1908 and 1909. and suit was recon-
mended in the latter part of 1909. Is.
ID. Townsend. special assistant of
the attorney general of Portland.
Ore, has worked up the law issue of
the case.
As the British company could not
legally acquire such property in this
country. it is charged it used its Brit
ish gold to hire American citizens to
act as dummy entrymen.

CANADIAN
RECIPROCITY
EXTRA SESSION ENCOURAGES
CANADIAN ADVOCATES WHO
WERE piSHEARTENED.
SAY TAFT MADE GOOD
ENERGETIC CAMPAIGN BEING
WAGED BY CANADIAN oP-
PoNENTs OF MEASURE.

Ottawa, Ont.-President Taft's i'm
mediate call for an extra session OF
Congress in April puts new face on
the reciprocity situation and may, in
the opinion of some of the opponents,
as well as the champions of the pro-
posed agreement, save the cause in
Canada from any peril it may have in
CURED by the failure of the United
States Senate to indorse the plan.
1t is generally conceded that If a
reciprocity session OF Congress had
not been summoned and ratification
had been left to the session next fall.
the Canadian advocates OF the plan
might have been disheartened and
probably parliament would follow the
example OF Congress. leaving ratifi-
cation to its chances at the succeed
ing session.
The action of the President consid-
erably relieves the awkward situation
created here by the failure of the
Senate to endorse the agreement.
The liberal majority says that Mr..
Taft has made good for his govern
ment. the joint agreement that each
party to the bargain should use its
best endeavors to secure legislative
approval of the reciprocity compact.
and consequently they assert the
Canadian government must compel
satisfaction by discussion of parlia-
ment.
However. the fight at Ottawa Is by
no means concluded. Both sides say
the government is more than ever de-
termined to put the measure through.
resolute front.
Quick action at INSTRUMENTATION
within month or so of the converting
of the extra session-will be neces-
sary to avoid complications. II Con

frid Laurier has arranged to depart
TO attend the coronation in London.

President Taft has made II plain
that he will not be deferred from mis-
determination to call an extra session
of Congress to secure action on the
Canadian reciprocity agreement by
any vote which the Senate may take
on the question unless 1t is plain to
him that such vote is a real test on
the merits of the agreement and not
merely an attempt to avoid an extra
session.
The Senate defeated the resolution
proposing an amendment TO the con-
stitution to provide that senators be
elected by direct vote of the people.

two-thirds vote.
