Post Office

President Wilson suffered his first re-
bun at the hands Of the Senate late yes
terday afternoon in effort to make an
alleged personal appointment to Office
over the recommendation of senator.
The Senate, without dissenting vote. re-
jected the nomination of Paul A. Jones
TO be postmaster at Coffeyville, Kan.
1t was claimed that Jones had been
nominated for the office in recognition of
support rendered President Wilson's can
didacy for the presidency. His applica-
tion was Endorsed by Postmaster General
BurleSon. who was associated with the
national committee il the direction of the
campaign.
Senator Thompson of Kansas, however.
had another candidate in the person of
Elliott Irwin, secretary Of the chamber
of commerce of Coffeyville. Senator

MANY ACRES At STAKE
IN FEDERAL LAW SUIT
Petition Filed by Settlers Al
Ieges Southern Pacific Used
Dummies for FiIerS.

PORTLAND, Ore, July 3O.-The filing
by the government Of another suit to for
felt lands held by the Southern Pacific
railroad was announced here today. Ap
proximately 10000 acres are at stake
and the names of Coils P. Huntington
Leland Stanford and Charles F. Croker
who built the Central Pacific railroad, are
brought in.
These men, and others, it is alleged
organized companies which took over 16(
acres filings from individuals and made
of them the holdings of the Southern
Oregon Improvement Company just after
the civil war. This company's- property
through bankruptcy proceedings, was
taken over by the Southern Oregon COM
pany, which the present petitioner asserts
was merely a nominal change.
The petition. filed by eleven settlers
charged that the original filers on the
land were merely dummies for the com.
pany, and hence the provisions Of the
congressional land grant of 1869 were
violated.
Other frauds are charged that the peti-
ton asks that the lands revert to the
state, and be resold to settlers at s.. 5l
per acre. An injunction against timber
cutting on the lands also is asked.

WANTS u. S. TO HANDLE
WASHINGTON PROPERTY
House Committee, Primed With Rec.
ords, Is Ready to Take
Up Bill.

Primed with records of former hear
ings, lawsuits and acts of Congress re-
lating to the Washington Market Com
pany. the House District committee is
about ready to take up the bill which
Representa- tive Johnson has introduced
to take over the property of the COM
pany, turn it back to the United States
and to have the Secretary of the In
terror administrate the affairs of the
company when the dissolving process
is complete.
Chairman Johnson said today that IL
is perfectly plain to him that the law
has been evaded by the market COM
pany for nearly half a century and thai
it should not go on for the remaining
years of the ninety y-nine-year lease.
1.-The market has been paying $500 a
year for rent to the District of Column
bia'' he said, land the law originally
stated it should pay $4,000. The money
for rent was TO have been used by the
District for the benefit of the poor, and
that has not been done.
Once Owned by United States.
.The land was owned by the United
States and the District was allowed to
take the rent as a gift. Instead Of using
the money for the poor the District has
used that $500 year to get another
81, 800 from the Treasury"
In answer to the statement that q suit
had already been settled regarding some
of the questions at issue regarding the
market company. Chairman Johnson said
that the suits had been between the
market company and the District of CO.
lumbia and that the coming issue would
be between the United States and the
market company, and that new facts
would be presented by him in his com
mittee and on the floor of the House.
The law under which the market COM
pany was chartered in 1870 contains the
following section, under which Chairman
johnson asked for cancellation of the
lease:
That the privileges conferred by this
act shall be enjoyed by said company
for the term of ninety-nine years. un-
less sooner terminated for a non-com-
pliance or abuse of the conditions herein
imposed upon said company which NAV
be done by suit in the name of the
United States to recover possession of
said property
"At the end of said period of ninety
nine years the said lands with all
erections and improvements thereon
shall revert to the United States unless
Congress shall by law extend the
period of occupation thereof nv said
company; provided, that if the corpo-
ration of the city of Washington shall
after n period of thirty years from the
approval of this act, by a vote of the
councils thereof. express a desire to
possess itself of the said market build
ings and grounds Congress- mav an
rhoriZe the corporate authorities to
take possession of the same upon pay-
ment to the said market house company
of sum of money equal to a fair and
just valuation or the buildings and i'm
provements then standing on said
grounds, and the mode and manner Of
ascertaining a said valuation shall be
determined by Congress-"

WHALES AND SHARKS BATTLE
School of Each Create Spectacle Off
Long Island Shore.

NEW YORK, July 30.-The story of
a school OF large whales disporting off
the Long Island shore receives further
confirmation by Capt. John Phillips of
the fishing steamer Cape Cod. who re-
ports that last evening he witnessed
the unusual spectacle of six sixty feet
whales in a mighty battle with an
equal number of ten-foot sharks, about
ten miles off Long Beach.
The steamer plowed full speed into
the midst of the struggle. during
which Capt. Phillips sent four bullets
into one of the sharks. which in it's
fury struck a second shark such a
powerful blow with it's tail that the
monster was hurled from the sea
against the steamers side.

guards strung along the railway tracks

MINE OWNERS ARE WARY
Hesitate to Attend Conference
Proposed by the Govern
or of Michigan.

CALUMET. Mich, July 3O.--A crucial
incident in the copper mine strike was
scheduled for development today, the
operators having been asked by Gen.
P. L. Abbey to consider proposals
emanating from Lansing that con-
ference between employers and en-
ployes be held in the governors Office.
The attitude of the companies it was
freely predicted, would be none too
friendly to the plan, inasmuch as the
operators considered it would place
them in the position Of recognizing the
western federation to some degree at
least
They were chary Of indorsing the
scheme also because it's pronouncement
was coincident with the presence in
Lansing of C. E. Mahoney, vice presi-
dent Of the federation. The union
leaders here were still jubilant over
the outcome of Mahoneys visit, and
expressed the belief that failure of the
companies to act on the suggestion or
the governor would result in an early
state troops.
The military men had an investiga-
ton of their own on their hands in
connection with the wounding of
striker by a sentry at Isle Royale mine

the truth of the sentry's statement that
he had been assaulted with stones be-
