REVISION OF THE
V. S. LAND LAWS
Three Revisory Measures Of Interest
To Settlers Passed BY
Senate

Washington, Feb. l0-Three bills
passed the senate this week making
changes in the United States land
laws. Senator Reed Shoots bill af-
fecting school lands, which was in
troduced at the request of the state
board of land commissioners, was
perhaps the most important to Utah
Its purpose Is to give to the states
permanent and a record title to
the lands granted them by the fed
eral government in the aid of public
schools.
1t has been held by the secretary
of the interior that the right or title
of state to its school lands attach
ed to these lands as to the date Of
the approval of the survey by the
surveyor general, when not after
wards disapproved by the commits
sioner of the general land office or
the secretary of the interior. This
hasl eft the states with a very I'M
certain title to their school lands.
The school grants to the several
states make the lands subject to any
valid prior rights or entry made I'M
der the laws of the United States.
In Utah in a number of instances
record at the local hand office and
there being no entries or rights OF
record on certain school sections has
sold these school sections at public
sale. Later the secretary Of the in.
terror has allowed mineral or home.
stead entries on these sections so as
| to deprive the states purchaser OF
portions of the land he has purch'
ased. The purchaser from the state
is absolutely without remedy unless
| by special act of the legislature his
money or a part of it is returned to
him.
Senator Shoots bill, in effect, is
to give the states permanent title
to their school lands after a pre-
scribed time has been given to per
sons who hold valid prior rights to
ASSERT them. The bill is of especial
importance to Utah because of the
states large school grant, sections
16, 80 and SO of each township, hav
ing been granted to the state in aid
of public schools.
Another important measure tC
Utah Is one designed to amend sec
ton of the Smoot enlarged home
stead law. Section 3 of the Smoo
law permits a person who has made
homestead entry of 100 acres un
der the general homestead law in
locality, the lands of which the late
designated under the Smoot law, t
make an additional entry of l6'
acres contiguous to his former entry
It further provides that residence
upon and cultivation of the origina
entry shall be deemed as a residence
upon and cultivation Of the addition
al entry"
The third bill which passed tn,
senate this week authorizes settler
on unsurveyed lands to make fina
proof under laws existing at tn
time OF settlement. Under the lone
stead law persons desiring to &C
auire lands which are unsurveye'
may settle on them before they hav
been surveyed and have a preference,

UNCERTAINTY IN
MEXICO PREVAILS
Madero Said to Have Fled From Cap
ital With 1000 Troops Taking
Family Along. General elan-
quet Refuses TO Fight
Ojax

Mexico, City, Feb. IO-Uncertainty
as to what developments would fol-
low the revolt Of the army, by which
General Felix Diaz captured the Mex
lean capital yesterday, prevailed in
Mexico City early today.
The residents OF the city spent
quiet ,-but sleepless night, expecting
to see more fighting in the streets
today.
In yesterdays revolt more than 200
persons were killed.
The populace did not know early
today whether President Madero had
fed from the capitol. With a follow.
ing of loyal troops said to number
1000, he took refuge in the national
palace yesterday, but it was reported
at daybreak that under the cover of
night he had fed toward the eastern
coast, taking his family with him. 1t
was also reported that all of the
members of his cabinet had resigned
Madero's Flight
The report of his fight was given
credence, although 1t was without
confirmation. His decision to close
| the capitol, 1t was said, was due to
General Blanquet's refusal TO stand
| by him. General Banquet arrived
last night with small portion OF
his troops, supposedly loyal to Ma
dero, but he refused to fight against
General Felix Diaz. Since the arriv-
al of Blanquet's force the bridges be-
tween the capitol and Toluca have
been burned.
1t is recalled that during the Oroz.
co rebellion Madero stated that he
would remain in the government pal
ace as long as possible and then with
whoever remained loyal, he would
transfer the set Of government to
the hills in the south, where he
would keep up the fight for constitu-
ted government.
To Return With Troops
The city apparently was not con
WINGED today that Madero would not
be able to return to the city with
enough troops to wrest from Diaz
and his musinous followers the pow
er which they secured yesterday. II
Madero remained in the national
palace here or took refuge in the
alace at Chapultepec it was gener
~ assumed that the bombardment
Of these places would follow.
Resignation May Be Demanded
There was considerable speculation
as 10 what action congress might
take, 1t was regarded as probable
that it would demand the resignation
OF the Madero administration.
The silence of the night in the
streets was almost gravelike despite
the fact that all of the regular pc
lice had been removed and in theil
places patrolmen in groups made
rounds Of the city at long intervals
The only other night activity wal
the occasional passing OF Rec
Cross automobile, either removing
victim OF yesterdays revolt or TAX
ing up position in readiness 70
