frequent flashes Of last years attacking

nable defense. the Norfolk Light Artil-
lery Blues opened the local gridiron
season by defeating William and Mary
College 10 to o on Lafayette Field this
afternoon. Two touchdowns and one
goal from touchdown made up the sum
OF the scoring done by the Artillerists.
At no time during the thirty-four min
utes Of actual play was the Blues goal
line in danger Of being crossed.
On the other hand. the Collegians
put up a stronger defense than was ex-
pected. The first touchdown. that came
in the middle Of the second quarter. was
the result OF a blocked kick, followed
by a sixty-five-yard run by Full Back
Wemple for the score. The other
touchdown came in the fourth quar-
ter and was earned by q series of first
down gains by Geyer, Jordan. Barry

Some Interesting Phases Of Its Own.

from the Brooklyn Eagle.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
Though the series Of suits on behalf Of
the heirs OF Elizabeth Morey begun by
former State Senator Albert A. Wray as
counsel to recover q large part of Coney
Island may not be very seriously consid-
cred by realty men. 1t has a real interest
in the recalling Of certain phases OF
Coney Islands history. Within the men,
DRY Of men now living $4,000 would have
been a fair price for all the stretch Of
sand from Sea Gate to the Oriental Hotel
site. Two or three places furnished in
formal entertainment to fishermen. Once
In . while there was picnic on the sand.
Now many millions are invested in all
sorts Of amusement devices, and often in
summer . hundred thousand persons 60
there to spend money.
1t was not surprising that realty titles
were neglected in the old days. John Y.
McKane claimed that most Of the island
was the common lands Of the town OF
Gravesend." He got through the Iegisla-
ture q bill to provide for the selling Of
these common lands; later q bill for dis
posing Of the lands Of unknown heirs"
1t has often been limited that through
dummies McKane himself became the
purchaser Of considerable part OF these
lands. His friends and admirers always
denied this, and We believe It was never
proved that he thus misused his powers

charge u revived in the moving papers Of

the Morey suit. That McKane was the
real father OF Coney Island development
need not be doubted. Neither need 1t be
questioned that he made money out OF
such development. He was. almost the
only building contractor. and for obvious
reasons his prestige could not well be
broken down by competition.
The Moreys claim that Mrs. Elizabeth

two years before the sales under the Nc
Kane plan, and that the Johnson title ran
back to a purchase by Hendrick Johnson
from the Indians in .1645. That is Law
yer Wray's contention. But adverse pos

title to real estate under. the statute as
under the common law. 1t would seem
that there has been adverse possession for
much more than this period. and through
her long and not undramatic life right in
Coney Island Mrs. Morey must have
known Of her claims to title IL she had
any. and musr have failed to push those
claims. Mr.. Wray. SO far as We know.
has not disclosed what plea he will set up
against sd efse possession. Lawyers and
laymen Will watch this. the vital phase OF
the controversy. with the greatest in

be filed about tie middle Of next week.
There remains one bare possibility,
however, that an agreement may be
reached, but those familiar with the
problem have lost expectations that the
government and the corporation will
bridge the differences as to plan OF
disintegration.
After protracted conference yesterday
Attorney General Wickersham, Assist
ant to the. Attorney General Fowler and
counsel for the harvester company. who
have conducted negotiations extending
over several months. declined to comment
on the situation. Edgar A. Bancroft and
John p. Wilson, representing the corpo-
ration. will return to Chicago for further
consultation with officials there.
President Taft was appraised Of the sit
uation at conference with Messrs
Wickersham, Fowler and Bancroft. It is
understood that he agreed that the plans
for disintegration so far submitted could
not be accepted by the government. ).
The crux Of the whole difficulty, 1t Is
believed. lies in the contention Of the har-
vester company that the Mccormick and
DeerinE companies, which are strbsid
iafiee, should not be separated in any
scheme Of reorganization. The govern
ment wanted these integral parts made
distinct.

SUIT WAS WITHHELD
PENDING AN INQUIRY,
BONAPARTE EXPLAINS

BALTIMORE, April 25.-Respecting
President Roosevelt's letter to Attor-
ney General Bonaparte directing the
latter to withhold the antitrust suit
against the International Harvester
Company, contained in the correspond
ence sent to the Senate yesterday by
the Department Of Justice, Mr.. Bona
parte said the action was withheld

the instance Of the Senate.

said:
while I was absent from Washington

partment Of Justice was In progress

ascertained that the bureau of corpo-
rations had not yet completed its inves-

(Which 1t was conducting by direction Of
q resolution Of the Senate) and the mat
ter being submitted to the cabinet, 1t
was decided that the suit should await
the conclusion Of Mr.. Herbert Knox
Smiths inquiry.
1T was supposed then that this would
cause but q short delay. The inquiry
