SUIT INVOLVES
$500,000,000
Title to Western Oil Lands
Before United States
Supreme Court.

Washington. Nov. 16.--Title to west
ern Oil lands valued at the stupendous
figure of $500, 100000 is said to depend
upon the outcome of the legal con-
troversy which opened in earnest to-
day before the supreme court of the
United States, Edmund Burke filed
with the court his printed argument
in favor Of his claim to a portion OF
the land in controversy. scathingly ar
raigning the Southern Pacific Railroad
company. also fighting for the proper
~. The case will he argued orally
January s.
The land in controversy in this par
ticular case is in the oil fields of
southern California. The Southern
act and interior department patents
which contained the provision "ex-
Guiding and excepting all mineral
lands. should any such he found in the
tract. The validity and effect of this
exception is receiving unusual atten-
! tion because of it's having been includ-
/ ed in the land grants to other rail-
roads for decade after decade.
, MIR. Burke contends that oil land is
mineral land.
According to the brief filed today,
the Interpretation of the exception will
determine the Southern Pacitic's claim
to oil lands worth more than the en-
tire railroad itself The brief charges
the. railroad with attempting to con-
troll the mineral development of Cali
fornia through dummy corporations,
and suggests that if it would stop this

the carrying of passengers and

CHANGED its value since the few years
it was relieved of the political control
of California"
The railro;ll. it is contended. would
! have the courts hold land to be more
valuable for AGRICULTURAL purposes
than for mining. when the land had
thousands of oil wells spouting forth
their riches.

Washington. Nov 1s-rhe clerks
Of the house WAYS and means commit
tee are already at work on the tariff
revision bills for the special session
Of congress which President-elect
Wilson has stated he will summon to
meet next April. The democratic
leaders have been confident for some
time that the incoming administration
would force the tariff issue to an inn
mediate trial and much of the work
Of preparing the bills is under way.
While President-elect Wilson is
resting at Rurmuda during the next
few weeks the democrats Of the two
houses will endeavor to settle gen.
eral progra M to he followed at the ex-
ira session. 1t has not been deter
mined whether one general hill wilt
he introduced embracing the wool.
cotton. iron and steel revisions. which
the democratic house has previously
passed. or whether each of the sew
.cral tariff schedules will again he
brought in in the form of separate
bills. Little time will he necessary.
1t is believed. to Perfect the wool. cot
ton. metal and chemical revision bills
because of the work by the demo-
cratic ways and means committee in
preparing similar bills passed in the
last two sessions and which were ve-
tocd by President Taft.
| The democratic leaders are not
agreed. however over the sugar tar
| iff and this situation is puzzling the
managers of the party in both houses.
The house free sugar bill. passed at
the last session, did not meet the ap-
proval Of the democrats in the sem
ate. and it still rests in conference
committee of two houses.
President-elect Wilson's determina-
tion to call an extra session perfects
record of practically continuous
work upon the tariff since the special
session called by Presidetn Taft in
1909.
