as being favorable to President Taft S

great indignation at the text of Col

a reply OF any kind. and urged their fell
low committee members to ignore the
statement This advice finally prevailed.
Scarcely any of the Taft members Of
the committee would discuss the meet
ing. One, however. said:
I'VE are going to stand on our actions.

to defraud the government out of lands in
California and Oregon ended in failure
today when the Supreme Court of the
United States found no error in their con-
viction in the District of Columbia.
II was one OF the famous land fraud
cases Of its time. The decision, an

Of trying conspiracy cases by holding
that trial need not be at the place where
the conspiracy agreement was entered in
to, but could be also wherever an overt
act was done to further the agreement.
Justice Holmes announced a dissenting
opinion. declaring that defendants should
not have been tried in the District OF
Columbia just because an overt act was
done within the District.

ton OF the executors to name some per

ened by the will of latest date and says

consider herself justified in contesting the
probate at the expense of the others In

small benefit that would occrue toher.
All the facts and circumstances are
known to the others In interest, Mrs.
Hutchins AYERS, and IL they have any OBJ
