LAND Law DECISIONS
Regarding Homesteads, Desert and Final

for Direction Of Claimants
Homesteads

Homestead Entry is not in viola
tion of law if it was made in good
faith and not intended as a mere
subterfuge for the purpose of evad-
ing the statute, but such act of
itself is n suspicious transaction
and actual good faith must be evil
denced by such facts as to con-
vince a reasonable mind that it
was not a mere coilusive device.
Residence upon a homestead is
not required after the expiration
of five years as a prerequisite to
patent and a change of residence
after that period does not forfeit a
right already acquired. A charge
of abandonment against a home
stead entry must fail where the
entryman is residing upon the
land when notice of contest is
served.
The heirs of a deceased home
stead entryman, who during his
lifetime failed to comply with the
law, may complete the entry by
either residing upon or cultivat-
ing the land for the full period of
five years, if sufficient of the en-
try remains for that purpose; OF
may commute upon a showing of
residence and cultivation for four
teen months but cannot commute
upon a showing of cultivation
alone.
A contestant cannot he allowed
q preference right to make entry
of land within a reclamation pro-
ject,
The act of Feb. "a, 1909 was to
amend section 1912 United States
revised statutes and applies only
to cases of mistakes in description
at time of entry whereby the en-.
tryman's intent was defeated.
Desert Lands
1t was not contemplated by the
act of Jan. ID, 1897, relating to
location and construction of res
ervoirs, that the reservation should
be made according to legal sub
divisions or to extend to any lands
not necessary for the practical
use for which the reservation is
made. Nor does the declarent ac-
quire such right by the approval
of his map of location, that will
prevent the Secretary of the In
terror from reforming the reser-
walton at any time and restoring
to settlement and entry all lands
not necessary to the full enjoy
ment and use of all rights contem-
plated by the act.
The right Of repayment does not
exist when a desert land entry, ON
the proofs presented, is properly
allowed and Its subsequent cancel
lation is due to the discovery that
through mistake, not the fault of
the Government, the entry in fact
covers land not reclaimed or in
tended to be reclaimed.
The presence of trees upon land
in considerable numbers indicates
that the land is nondersert is char

the trees has little, if any, bearing
upon the question of classification

but that Governor Carey received

The light vote is to be explained
upon the ground that no one took
much interest in the vote. Then,
again, it was overlooked by many
who would have gone and cast a
ballot if it had not slipped their

FEW YORK. N. Z. Oct 5.-Gar-
M land ("Jake'') Stahl is one of
the most famous men of the
land. Six months ago he was prac-
tically unknown outside major leagues
Today his name is a household word
wherever the great American SUNNI r
pastime is known. UnWooed, Fame has
reached down. lifted him from OBJ
security and set him up on a high pedes-
tai. He is a striking example of one
who has had fame thrust upon him.
In the brief span of half year Jake
Stahl has accomplished more toward
public popularity than he did in long
association with the national paStime
as player of no mean ability. He is
playing manager of the Boston Red
Sox, the new champions of the Ameri-
can league. His managing ability
rather than his playing skill, has at
tracted the admiration of the baseball
world. In one brief season Stahl has
made good, and world dearly loves
winner.
Charlie Dryden, the Chicago humor-
ist nicknamed Jake the born leader"
That was some years ago when the
big fellow was with Washington, of
the American league. At that time
Washington truly was first in peace,
first in war and last in the American
league" StahI was placed in control
on a gamble He got off to a flying
start in the spring and for six weeks
threatened to make a runaway race
with what everyone considered an ha-
bitual tailender. Washington was
breezing out in front much on its
nerve like Hank O'Day and the Reds
in the National league last spring. The
team didn't have the class to stick
when its rivals rounded into shape. 1t
settled back again into the ruck and
Stahl threw up the sponge in disgust.
Dryden dubbed him the born leader
rather in a spirit of raillery. But
whatevers his former shortcoming
Stahl has this year justified the honor
of such title seriously applied
Fooled His Friends.
When it was announced from BOs-
ton last spring that Jake Stahl would
manage the Red Sox, his friends of the
big leagues prepared to lay up flower
contributions. They considered him as
good as a dead one already. The wise
acres shook their heads in cOmmisera-
ton. Poor Jake" said they, The must
be foolish, going with McAleer. What
chance have the Red Sox now? Nc
Aleer will be manager; he can never
keep his hands off. Stahl will only
be the goat when the team is finally
torn asunder by the fractional dissen-
sions."
1t did look very much as if StahI
was up against it. No one credited
Jimmy McAleer's announcement that he
would retire permanently from the
playing end of the game Here was
man who for years had directed the
unhappy destinies of second division
clubs-the St. Louis Browns and Wash
ington senators. From both cities he
had been forced by public opposition
practically. It was incredible that he
could smother that desire to appear in
the limelight that a brief managerial
experience usually engenders.
McAleer has never once tried to in
terfere with StahI. If he has, at least

butes of managerial success, and with
this Stahl is blessed beyond the ordl-
nary portion. Without his peculiar
personality John j. McGraW might nave
lasted no time as a manager. OF course
McGraw is a shrewd fellow, possessed
of wonderful baseball brains and the
best Judge OF playing ability IN the
country today. But his personality Is
his one chief asset. McGraw commands
the respect of every team member. his
men would simply die for him if neses-
sary McGraw can reprimand player
in the most scathing terms without
leaving one sting of resentment He's
about the only manager in the business
who can pull that kind Of a trick
Jake Stahl, like Hughie Jennings
goes after his players in another way
He works on their pride through ms
own good fellowship. \ genius Tor
strength must lie behind the mask Of
good nature or the players will take
liberties. Stahl commands the admira-
ton of his men for many reasons First
he has been a long time associated with
major league ball-long enough to
learn it's every angle and intricdcy-
Then he is rafting good player-not
a Chase nor a Wagner nor a LaJole,
but a steady. conscientious, plugging
sort of a fellow. And above all, he IS
game to the core
Proved His MettIe.
There never was any question of his
eameness. He proved his mettle in the
old college days as one of the great
est football players the University OF
Illinois ever produced. He proved 1t
in Washington and here in New York
with the tailend Highlancers of 1908 He
proved il as a player in Boston in l9OS
and 1910, and this year as manager OF
the same Hub club. A man who can
rise to the best ball of his career,
after a years layOff, and at the same
time carry the burdens of leadership
has no yellow streak in his makeup
The pages of modern history are
crowded with come backs" We have
Jimmy Callahan. Mike DOnlin- Moose
Mccormick and half a dozen others
who have made good. Stahl IS not the
least among these Twice, now, ne mas
proved that they can come back. Stahl
has retired from the major leagues Tor
semi-pro ball in Chicago a couple OF
seasons before the Yankees secured
him for the disastrous 1908 campaign
He didn't show much as an outfieIder
on the Hilltop But next season with
the Red Sox he was, in his natural
sphere at first base, one of the pillars
of the club Last year he did not take
a baseball in his hands. ms season
ne played the game of his life.
Now as to Jake's luck in the mad
scramble toward fame. He leaped into
the spotlight every night, as 1t were
At the close of the season of 1910 he
retired, as he believed, permanently
He entered the banking business in
partnership with his fatherinlaw,
financier of Chicago. He was steered
right and made good. He was fast on
the way to fortune when Jimmy Nc
Aleer bought into the Boston club.
The Fight to Get stabI.
McAleer realized that he needed Stahl
on first base TO make his team a pen
nant contender. He visited Jake and

he has not got away with it And II
he has tried to he has taken care to
show no signs of it before the players.
Whatever glory is attached to the win
ming of the pennant belongs to Stahl
and to the loyal fellows who fought
for him from the opening Of the cam
paign until the flag was won.
Compliments His Men.
To his men, Jake Stahl attributes all
his success. 1T was the loyalty Of the
boys" he said the last time ne was in
New York. we have hung together
from the start. I do not believe you
can find another team where the club
spirit is so strong. Everyone puts the
teams interests before self. That's
why we won so far this year. That's
the secret of my success. The boys
made me and I'm thankful to them"
On the other hand, the Boston play
ers idOlize their manager. There is
nothing we wouldn't do for Jake" said
Larry Gardner before the opening game
at the Hilltop last spring. He's one
prince of a fellow as well as the best
first baseman in either league. Mind
just what I tell you. That man knows
baseball backwards. The public in gen
eral does not realize that he is a born
leader But he has shown US more Of
real baseball strategy than we ever
dreamed. I'm not saying Wen beat out
the Athletics this year-they form one
of the toughest punches Of baseball
history-but we'll get 'em next year
sure and if they trim US this season
they'll know they were in a fight"

AN ANTONIO Texas, Oct. 5.-The
preliminary games on Texas grid
~ irons played this week show con-
of the greatest stars the game has
ever produced in this state. lovers of
football will see equally as good exhi-
billions as before. At no time has the
interest been greater, for the games
arranged by the Texas university and
the Agricultural & Mechanical college
include clashes with teams from Okla
homa, Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennes-
see and Louisiana, making the results
of these games decide both the cham
piOnship of the south and of the south
west. Texas has always been in the
running for the championship of the
southwest, but has never made show
ing that gave it consideration Tor the
southern place. The new men on both
teams are showing splendidly. Even
the old ones would have had to learn
over the new style of play and there is
every reason to believe that the teams
which will go into the regular games
will be equal in every way to any
which have been assembled in the past
Some of the new men are showing
great flashes of form and, when the
season is over, there will be a number
of new names famous in Texas football
annals. Coaches on all the teams agree
there has never been a time when the
raw material looked better. The new
men are strong, fast on their feet.
