OIL LAND SUIT
Supreme Court Rules Against
Plea for Land.
VALUED AT s70O,0OO,00
Justices Hold That Secretary OF tho
Interior Should Have Ascertalned
Value Of Tracts Involved Be-
fore Granting Patents.

Washington. June 23.-Transconti-
mental railways won their fight for
title to some $700,OO0,000 worth Of oil
lands when the Supreme court held
void the clause in the patents making
the land revert to the government If
found to contain minerals.
The court held that the patents
were irregular, but that they could
not be attacked collaterally-by other
claimants-but could be set aside only
by direct attack by the govern
ment.
Justice Vandevanter for the court,
incidentally emphasized the claim that
the governments time in which 1t
could attack the patents had expired
In 1900 or 1901.
Cancellation Suit Pending.
TIE government has separate suit,
distinct from this case, to cancel the
patents to Oil lands held by the trans
continental carriers.
The decision was in a case brought
by Edmund Burke Of California, who
claimed the right to lands now held
by the Southern Pacific, on the
ground that they should revert to the
government because oil had been
found after the issue of the patent
to the railroad.
The government contended that
when 1t gave the lands to the railroad
it did not grant minerals not then
known to exist Each patent issued
contained an exception and reserva-
tion reading.
Excluding and excepting all min
eral lands should any such be found
in the tracts aforesaid"
Justice Vandevanter held that a
general statute made it the duty Of
the secretary of the interior to in
quire whether the lands were of the
class for which a patent could be is
sued.
This title had been disputed by the
government and other litigants.
Hundreds Of California, Detroit,
Mich, and Cleveland, O., citizens dis
puted the title to these lands and
sought mineral patents for them from
the government. The lands are locat.
ed IN the Fresno oil belt in California
Cities Wins Reduced Freight Rates.
Spokane and other intermountain
cities won their long fight against 16
railroads for reduced freight rates by
the Supreme courts decision of the
celebrated "intermountain rate" or
'long-and-short-hau case. The court
approved the radical rate reduction on
west-bound freight to western inland
cities ordered by the interstate COM
MERGE commission.
The Kentucky statute making 1t
legal for farmers to pool their tobacco
was annulled as unconstitutional by
the Supreme court.
