Wrisley Brown, Attorney General
Wickersham's special assistant has
charge of the impeachment case of
the government against Judge Robert
w. Archibald. Of the commerce court.
The charge against Judge Archibald is
that he bought from the Erie railroad
a culm heap for s3.5o0, which he at
once contracted to sell to the Lacaka-
wanna and Wyoming Valley Electric
line for s35.ooo. The fact that the Erie
is q frequent suitor before the com
nerce court makes the charge a grave
ore. Mr.. Brown is handling the case
for the department of justice and his
report on it is now in the hands of

Recent Public Land Decisions.

Upon the death of an entryman
leaving no widow, his heirs have the
right to make additional homestead
entry under the provisions of section
3 of the "enlarged homestead act"
The federal statute does not provide
for the succession to the rights of a
desert land entryman in the event OF
his death. Such succession is, there.
fore, controlled by the laws of the
state in which the land embraced In
the entry is situated and the land de-
partment will dispose of the case
accordingly.
1t is the established practice of the
department to issue patenct to the heirs
generally of q deceased entryman, II
there be no widow, or minor children
entitled t the claim under section
1892 r. S. Or If it be shown in the
record prior to issue OF patent thai
the entryman has made a will pur
porting to devise his interest in tn,
entry, then the patent ia issued to tn
| heirs or devisees of the deceased entry
man when there Is no widow, or minoI
children to claim under section 229;
r. S. 1t Is left to the local courts tt
determine in such cases who the heir
are and what their individual interet
may be.
