SUIT FOR $25O,OOO,0OO
FILED BY GOVERNMENT
May Eventually Involve Billion
Dollars Worth of California
Oil Lands.

Los ANGELES, Cal, December 21.-
One billion dollars worth of California
oil-bearing lands. it is said, probably will
eventually be involved in the govern
ment's recovery litigation, which was be-
gun here yesterday with the filing of the
$3.50 0Oo.o00 action in equity against the
Southern Pacific railway and its SUBJ
sidary corporations.
The Standard OIL Company, through its
subsidiaries, is expected by federal Of
ficers finally to be involved, as well as
the Mckenzie-Mann interests, the Brit
ish Columbia Oil Syndicate. which is said
to bc also interested extensively in Cali
fornia.
Three or more years probably will
clapSe before it is determined whether the
Southern Pacific and other interests
wrongfully obtained the mineral lands
specified in the action.
Opinion of Officers.
The suit already involves the largest
amount ever sought in an equity action
in the history of the United States, and
federal officers say it will be ended only
when the Supreme Court of the United
States renders decision.
The present suit was prepared by b. ID.
Townsend and r. j. Butler. special assist
ants to Attorney General WiCkersham.
There was considerable speculation about
the federal building today as to whether
the new Attorney General to be appointed
by President-eect Wilson would reap
point them To continue the case.

Settlement In Sight

Paris, Nov. 11.-Great Britain,
France and Russia. constituting the
triple entente. and Germany, Austria
and Italy. the triple alliance, are be-
lieved to be at the point of reaching
an agreement to prevent Bulgarian
army from occupying CONSTANT
nople. The six governments find
themselves in accord on the principle,
and active exchanges are in progress
as to the means to be taken to bring
about this result.
One suggestion is a collective pro-
visional occupation of Constantinople
by the six powers with the consent
of Turkey under the assumption that
such action was necessary to protect
the subjects Of the respective nations
and to maintain order. The Bulga-
rian government appears already to
have indicated that it has no inteE-
ton of trying TO hold Constantinople
and that it1would occupy the Turk
ism capital temporarily only. until
peace had been anged.
