MANY FOUND TO
 OWN INDIAN LANDS
One Hundred and Eighty Owners in Lee Have Property With Al
 legged Imperfect Titles

Opelika, November 2S.-(Special) )-There were found to be 1S0 names of land own CTS in Lee county owning Creek Indian lands the titles of which are alleged to be imperfect by the United States govern ment. The list was made public by United States Assistant District Attorney Vance of Montgomery, who investigated the land books of the county. Many of these are among the most prominent people of the county. It is not known what action will be taken by. the property owners.
 When asked concerning his opinion of the contemplated action of the govern- ment in regard to the Creek lands. Attor- ney T. D. Sanford, one of the best posted lawyers of the state, a son of eX-Governor Sanford, said that he knew nothing what ever as to who was responsible primarily for the investigation, and that he had not given the matter any study, from legal standpoint, and consequently was not pre- if litigation should follow, but he said; "It was inconceivable how any one with any sense of right or justice could for a moment seriously think that the govern ment, after lapse of half or three quar- ters of a century, would step in and dis possess these citizens of their property. D
 The newspaper reports state that the point raised by the government officials is that the sale of the lands by the Indians way back wonder when the memory of man runneth not was not approved by the President.

WEALTHY WIDOW
 IS IDENTIFIED Following Which Victim in Auto Accident in New Jersey Is Burned

Paterson, N. J., November 2S.-A permit was issued today for the burial of the mysterious woman who was killed in an automobile accident near Lincoln Park, N. J., week ago Sunday and who un- til yesterday was known only as Mrs. w. c. Whitney. As this Identification seemed incorrect, the county authorities held up the funeral until a well to do New Yorker, formerly from the west, came forward last evening and stated that the victim was a widow from Ala meda, Cal, who for some time had been making her home in New York.
 He was with her at the time of the ac- cident, but he decided to keep his name out of the affair until he learned the fu- neral could not proceed without her identification. Exacting a promise that his name would not be revealed this man said that the woman was Mrs. Lydia Marchea Cor MichelD Whiting of Ala meda.
 Almost simultaneously there came news from the California town that the woman was Mrs. Lydia Gertrude Bicheli of that city, and although there were discrep- ancies in the two names, the authorities were sufficiently satisfied regarding her identity to permit the burial.

BASEBALL ON THE
 PLANET PHOEBUS

Chicago, November 2s.-Accordng to Prof. F. R. Moulton of the University of Chicago, one man Is all that would be required to play d baseball game on Phoe- bus, one of the moons of Mars. provided the man could live in a place without atmosphere. Prof. Moulton described the manner of play in addressing q church society last night on the "Earthlike Pla- nets'
 "The one man team would first take the position of pitcher. he said, and throw balls horizontally. The ball would go all the way around the moon, He would have time to get bat and strike at 1t. If he missed 1t he could take his three strikes, then put on his mask, glove and chest protector and catch him self out when the ball came around the fourth time.
 Tn case he hit the ball, and 1t bounded. he could play the part of an infielder by picking the ball up as 1t came bounding around the moon. He could then throw to first and catch himself out on the base as the ball came around again. If he hit a fly in place of grounder he might draw on his glove and playing the part of center fielder, catch himself out,
 "A strong batter might make home run, This would mean that he struck the ball so hard that 1t went beyond the attraction of this moon and struck on the planet Mars It would be what We call oyer the fence,'"

 Attorney Walsh, for the defense, ob- jected. and the jury was withdrawn. Senator Reed then said.
 We expect to prove by this witness that the defendant asked MT. Elem ming to draw d. will for. himself and his wife. He said he wanted his wife's will to give him all her property and his will to give all of his property to her"
 Judge Porterfield ruled that there was nothing unusual about pr. Hyde's seeking to have the wills drawn and sustained the defense's objection.
 MT. Flemming produced a list of Swope properties showing figures on the back, made by pr. Hyde, in which the share of each heir was set down. On direct examination Flemming testi- fled pr. Hyde had made the figures while they were alone, but on cross examination the witness said he be- lieved the physician had jotted them down during. a conference of the Swope heirs,
