GOVERNM MENT CLAIMS
IT Is DEFENDANT IN
INJUNCTION SUIT

Before Circuit Judge G. W. Phelps
this morning was argued a demurrer,
to the outcome of which considerable
importance attaches. 1t was in the
case of the Maxwell Land and Irri-
cation Co. VS.. the Hermiston Bank and
Trust Co, and while Ostensibly the
latter company is the defendant, il
was represented by United States Dis
trict Attorney +. A. johnson who con-
tended that the government should
have been made the defendant and
hence that the local court has no
jurisdiction in the case.
The suit arises from contract en-
tered into, at the time of the creation
of the government project at Her
miston, between the government and
the Maxwell Land and Irrigation COM
pany. Before the government would
create the project, it required some
assurance that the Maxwell Land and
Irrigation company, which owned a
large tract of land under the proposed
project, would enter into an agreement
whereby settlement of its lands would
be secured on virtually the same basis
as the public lands To this end a
contract was entered into and what
amounted to a mortgage upon the
company lands was placed in trust
with the Hermiston bank to insure
compliance with the terms of the
agreement.
1t is said that the government is
now contending that the Maxwell
Land ana Irrigation company has vio-
lated the terms of its agreement and
that the company is likewise holding
that the government has not fulfilled
its part of the contract. At any rate
the company instituted suit against
the bank to secure an injunction pro-
hibiting foreclosure proceedings and
now the government steps in with the
argument that it and not the bank
should have been made the defendant
in the suit.
Judge Phelps has taken the demur-
rer under advisement.
johnson Retains Office.
His visit to Pendleton today wa.
the first trip made by Mr.. johnson
since becoming United States distric
attorney. He was appointed to tha
office to succeed John McCourt ant
will hold the office until his successor
is named by President Wilson. At tn,
present time Attorney General Mercy
nolds is following very cautious pol
icy in the matter Of selecting new at
torneys and it is possible Johnson ma.
retain his post for some time to come

that no criticism was madein the cases

REGARDED AS

~ASA AA~HA
POLITICAL TOMB

Nashville. Tenn, Jan. 22.-The at
mosphere about the hotels was chnrn-
ed up bit Monday by the public state
ments of Judge John *. Shields
and eN-Gov. Patterson, The former in
reply 20 Senator Lea and Mayor
crump, and the latter giving reasons
why he had retired from the race for
senator.
The Pnttersonsstatemcnt was gener-
ally regarded as a voice from the po'il-
ical tomb and as the departing wall of
thoroughly discrcdited office seeker.
Ex-Gov. Patterson has returned to his
home in Memphis to resume his law
practice or organize stock company
TO publish weekly newspaper. There
is some doubt as TO which profession
he will follow for a living.
The statement from Judge Shields
was received as olive NATTER" because
the chief justice is not yet Il dead one.
lie charged in that statement that
when he entered the race for the senate
he had the support of senator Luke Lea.
II has been we'll understood by every
body here since the organization OF the
Legislature that Senator Lea would not
support any candidate who would not
submit his name to Il conference OF the
independent democrats. At first, it
was the impression that Judge Shields
would do that ,and assuming that such
was his purpose Senator Lea agreed to
oped that Judge Shields would not sud
nit his candidacy TO the Independents
Senator Lea withdrew he pledge. II
Judge Shields had gone into the con-
! ference Of the political faction of which
he had been leader, submitting his
candidacy to such conference, he
would have been stronger and The
chances are that his election would
have ecme on the, first ballot. II
would not have been necessary lor hin
to have summoned to his standard tht
whole supreme court and all OF tin
powers the bench can contIol, in order
To have maintained his candidacy.
Judge Shields declares in his lates
statement that it has not been consid
cred disgracefui, OF even harmful, here
to-fore for member of the suprenn'
court 10 become candidate for 20
fitieaI Office without resigning from tn
