Get Two Factions Together.

Niagara Falls, June 22.-Getting rep
resentatives of the two factions in
Mexico together and letting them de-
eide upon man for provisional Presi-
dent of Mexico is the latest plan of
the mediators.
The two elements are to be brought
together at the invitation of President
Wilson in the name Of the United
States Government and the confer
ences are to be held in Washington.
1t seems certain that both factions
will accept the invitation and in the
meantime the mediators and delegates
from the United States and Mexico
will hold only informal conferences.

RAILROADS Win
OIL LAND CASE
PROPERTY VALUED AT $70o, ,o0o, ,00l
AWARDED CARRIERS BY
SUPREME COURT.
,&U |

Washington, June 22.-The transcon-
tinental railroads won their fight for
title to $700,000,000 worth of oil lands
today when the supreme court held
void the clause on patents making the
land revert to the Government if it was
found to contain minerals.
Washington, d. c., June 22.-Edmund
Burke claimed title to part of the lands
which were granted by the government
to the Southern Pacific Railroad in Cal
ifornia. The government contended
that when it gave the lands to the rail-
road it did not grant valuable minerals
not then known to exist.
The government issued a patent in
1894 to the Southern Pacific in aid Of
its construction of a transcontinental
line. Patents were issued likewise to
the Northern Pacific and other lines
traversing the plains and the Rockies
to the coast. Each patent contained
an exception and reservation reading
as follows:
Excluding and excepting all mineral
lands, should any such be found in the
tracts aforesaid, but this exclusion and
exception, according to the terms of
the statute, shall not be construed to
mean coal and iron lands"
The railroads 7contended that oil
was not a mineral and therefore oil
lands were not excepted from the
grant. Furthermore, the railroad con
tended that the exception was void
under the law governing realty.
The government took the position
that it could show at any time, even
after the issuance of the patent that
the lands were oil in nature and thus
prevent their remaining in the hands
of the railroads.
The Northern Pacific obtained leave
because of its indirect interest in the
litigation, to present an argument In
the case. It contended that othel
landgrant railroads would be affected
vitality by decision upholding Burke's
claims.
The value of the property at stak,
has been emphasized by showing tina
it is more than the valuation place,
upon both real and personal propert.
for taxation in either Louisiana, Rhod
Island, virginia, North Carolina, o
Nebraska, and nearly as great as tha
in Georgia, Kentucky or Oregon. Tn
J value is said to be seven times a
great as all the gold coin in the Unite
States and about three times the CON
bined debts of the various states.

Hamper and Lea.
Buy Auditorium;
Will Repair 1t
PROPERTY SOLD FOR 5,soo-WILL
BOOK THIRTY FIRsT-cLAss
ATTRACTIONS.

G. w. Hamper and ]. S. Lea have
purchased The Auditorium and will be-
gin at once complete overhauling of
the interior of the building.
The sale was made. late Saturday
afternoon by the First-National Bank
of Commerce, which owned the proper
ty, for consideration of $1,000. This
is regarded as low price, as the
property is in the path of the business
development of the city and is expected
to enhance in value.
Officials at the bank said this price
was accepted because National bank
is not allowed to hold a piece of real
estate for a longer period than five
years, and because there are several
churchmen on the board of directors
who oppose worldly amusements and
who objected to the banks owning a
theatre.
The theatre will be under the direc-
tion of Mr.. Lea, and fourteen high-class
attractions have already been booked
for the season of 1s14-1s1S. The open.
ing attraction win bs Mutt and Jen"
on September 21st. II is the purpose Of
the new management to bring thirty
attractions here during the season.
Meantime the interior of the theatre
will be recalcimined, repainted, clean
ed and repaired. Details as to this
work have not been determined on. but
assurance is given that the interior of
theatre will be put in first-class con-
dition. The management prefers to
expend practically all money that is at
present available inside the building in
stead of dividing it between the inside
and outside.

APPOINT RECEIVER
FOR MANS VISCERA
UNIQUE CASE DoCkED IN THE
MARYLAND SUPREME
COURT.
(Bu Associated Press.)

Washington, June 20.-A case
unique in Supreme Court annals was
docketed today when an appeal
reached that tribunal from Maryland
court order directing appointment OF
a receiver for the vital organs of a
dead man.
The case grows out Of the fight over
the million dollars insurance carried
by Edward O'Painter, a capitalist OF
Jacksonville, when he fell overheard
from a ferry boat at Jacksonville,
April 21, 1918, and was drowned.
o'Painter became violently Ill on
the boat and when he went to the rail
fell into the water. Upon recovery OF
his body his vital organs were sent by
family physicians to Baltimore for ex'
animation. DR.. Charles G. Glasor, In
whose charge they were placed, was
enioined by the United States Fidelity
and Guaranty Co. from turning the or
pans over to the widow and daughter
for burial before this company, which
had issued an accident policy te
O,painter, had an opportunity to exam
ine them. AAt the instance OF the IN
surance company a receiver was ther
annoipted to take charge of the or
Apans and to make chemical examina
t,on on the ground that the insurance
policy provision giving the COMPANY
tho right of examination, was superio
to any property right the widow o
daughter might have. 1t is for review
Of this decision that the case toda'
u.s brought to the Supreme Court.
