ASK FOR DATA ON
EAST SIDE LANDS

The directors of the irrigation dis
trict yesterday afternoon passed a
resolution calling on the Homeseek-
ers' Association for assistance in COM
piling the data the secretary of the
interior has asked for regarding
lands asked to be restored to entry
in the valley.
This is expected to cover all the
lands in the county withdrawn from
entry, and looks to great increase
in the irrigated area to the west.
The desire is to get these lands
restored under the recent order that
hereafter desert land claimants must
make. showing in advance of the
ability to get water for the land, which
is expected to prevent tying up large
area to be held for speculative pur-
poses without doing anything to de-
velop the country. In this valley,
this will of necessity imply having
made arrangements to get water stock
in some company which can furnish
water for the particular piece of
land.

DE LA BARRA SAID
TO BE IMPLICATED
Omitted Press Day Service)

Torreon, June 3.-Huerta's war
minister, Banquet, is reported here
today to be on the eve of seizing the
government Of Mexico City and de-
porting Huerta.
The positive assertion is made here
today by prominent persons in sup
port of report that documents have
been found in Saltillo duplicating
Francisco De La Barra in the plot
to overthrow Madero. De La Barra
heretofore has been considered one of
the most earnest men connected with
the Huerta government. 1t is charged
further that he was with Huerta when
Madero's death was planned. 1t is
asserted that Huerta acted on his ad-
vice when he refused to salute the
flag at Tampico and that his deliber-
ate intention was to provoke Ameri.
can Interference as preferable to de-
feat by the rebels.

u. s. PREPARING APPEAL
FROM OIL LANDS RULING

Los Angeles, June 3.-The next step
in the billion-dollar oil withdrawal
suits, decided Monday against the gov
ernment by Judge M. 7. Dooling of
the federal district of San Francisco,
must be taken at Washington.
Advices from the capital yester-
day state that the department of JUS
tice is preparing to make counter
move. The department, it is said, has
been forearmed by the information
contained in Judge Dooling's decision
and the fight to have former Presi-
dent Taft's withdrawal order de-
clared valid will be waged in the su-
preme court of the United States in
the case involving the Midwest Oil
Company. which was appealed from
Wyoming and argued before the high
est tribunal early last month.
The issues in the Midwest Oh
Company case are virtually the same
as those in the cases decided by Judge
Dooling, which involved the right of
the Midway Northern Oil Company
and others to the title of 100 acres of
Gil land in Kern county.
While the case decided by Judge
Dooling concerned an infinitesimal por-
tion of the total land area involved
in the litigation, the decision is so
sweeping that lawyers generally be-
lieve it will be regarded as covering
the other cases These have to do
with total of 2,871,OOO acres of oil
land in California.
Judge Dooling's decision was that
President Taft's order was invalid
tecause it had not previously been
sanctioned by Congress. This was the
same contention made in the Wyoming
case and was upheld in that proceed
ing.
G. w. Helm of Los Angeles who
was appointed temporary receiver OF
the oil companies by Judge Dooling,
stated that there will be no change in
the status of the lands and the oil
corporations and individuals until the
supreme court hands down it's final
decision in the Wyoming case.
The territory involved in the Wyo-
ming case is 10000 acres in extent,
and the withdrawal order covering this
land was the same as that affectinp
approximately 100000 acres in Cali
fornia. The order was issued for the
purpose of conserving a supply of fuel
oil for the navy.
Congress, according to Judge Doo-
ling, has the power to dispose of the
land in question and the laws giving
these powers should not be interfered
with by any other department unless
a clear authority exists for such in
reference.

INLAND, June 3-.John d. Reavis ar

Reavis will present figures to show
that traffic has reached high water

through the gateway. Several thou

made a new high record for Califor-

Los Angeles newspapers report that
President Kruttschnitt of the board
of managers of the Southern Pacific
Company was to have left that city
for the valley with President Sproule,
but no one could be found here to-
day who had notice of the visit.
The Los Angeles Times yesterday
said: The railroads are waiting for the
clouds of prejudice and financial un-
certainty to roll by, according to julius
Kruttschnitt, chairman of the Execu-
tive Committee of the Southern Paci-
fic and allied roads, who arrived here
yesterday on a tour of inspection.
"The railroads." he said, "are run
ming under close-reefed sails. Where
improvements are being made they
are being financed from earnings and
not by bond issues. This is because
railroad men are cautious"
He added that there are no notable
improvements in the immediate fu-
| ture, but made an exception of one
member of the Southern Pacific
family-the Pacific Electric. He smil-
ingly stated that President Shoup
shows disposition to keep on build
ing and that there seems to be no
reason for throwing cold water on his
enthusiasm.
Southern California is an excep
tion to all rules" volunteered Shoup.
"We are always prosperous"
Krattschnitt is not pessimist. In
fact he disclaimed any such an at
titude yesterday. But he will call a
spad, spade with any man and he
is observing. He also wants to be
Shown"
Particularly significant in this lat
ter connection was his departure last
night for the Imperial Valley, where
he will spend two days. Kruttschnitt
has been in the Valley before, but
this will be his first minute inspec-
tion trip.
Minute exactly expresses the sort
of inspection Kruttschnitt will make.
