TOWNSHIP CO. LOSES
| IN PATENT APPEAL
Court of Appeals Sustains'
Secretary Lane in Indian
Land Case.

The District Court of Appeals, in an
Aoininn by Justice Van Orsdel, today
reversed the judgment of the District
Supreme Court and directed the dis
missal of a petition for mandamus
against Franklin K. Lane, Secretary OF
the Interior. The proceedings were
instituted in this lower court by the
Duncan Townsite Company to compel
the issuance of a patent for certain
lands in Oklahoma to Nicholas A1ber-
son, a deceased Chickasaw Indian.
The Indians name was placed by the
Dawes commission on a partial list OF
members by blood of the Chickasaw
nation. The list was approved by the
then Secretary of the Interior Decem-
Der IL, 1902. A stipulation between
the United. States and the Indians pro-
vided that the rolls should contain
only the names Of persons living Sep
TENDER u.s. 1909. It was admitted
that Alberson died prior to that date.
An administrator Of the dead Indian
selected the lands in controversy as
part of the allotment to which Alber-
son. if alive. would have been entitled.
The petitioners acquired the interests
of the heirs of Alberson and sought to
assert its rights as an innocent pur-
chaser.

Question Of Fraud Involved.
cit may well be that only the minis

remains in the Secretary of the In
terror Of issuing a patent where the
allotment certificate has been lawfully
procured and no question of fraud is
involved. But different situation is
presented where, as in the present case,
Alberson, the allottee, was not in ex-

evidently voted to rescind the action
upon grounds of expediency-because
of the bitter opposition of a portion
of the church.
"Others evidently voted upon a COM
plete misinterpretation of the spirit
and purpose of the said congress, al
though it almost passes comprehension
that any one could have been in doubt
what the real spirit and purpose of the
congress is. A few-and they the lead
ing spirits in the opposition, the men
who displayed extraordinary bitterness
on the question-were dominated, l re-
gret to say. by their antagonism to
Professionalism in any form. 1t is i'm
possible to doubt that the fundamental
objection of this group was to any
recognition on our part of fellowship
with other Protestant communions and
to any acknowledgment that this church

Sees Danger of Church Revolution.
To-day. under a solemn sense of duty
to the truth of God, L warn you against
the party that would revolutionize our
church by destroying its Protestant
character
Strongly unfolding the resolution of
the board of missions to send delegates
to the Panama congress, DR.. McKinl
made the following "affirmations":
Il beg you to observe" he said. that
this attempt to deny the Protestant
character of our beloved church is
something of alien and recent origin
Not until the middle of the nineteenth
century did such an idea begin to be
promulgated, and only within the last
generation has it obtained any consid-
cradle adherence in our church.
Let, me reiterate, then: This Is not
as the newspapers have said, AN Epfs-
copal split on fighting the Pope; the
issue involved Is quite different from
that-it is whether the principles OF
the reformation and the doctrines OF
our prayer book shall be overthrown by
this anti-Protestant movement in oul
midst.
Twenty years ago I warned you of q
counter reformation agitation in our
church. Four years ago l called you t
battle against the effort to blot out tht
Protestant name of this church. Today
under a solemn sense of duty to the
truth of God, 1 warn you against thu
party that would revolutionize oul
church by destroying its Protestan
character"

The position of the FIVE men who re-
signed, which is said to be upheld by
many in the church. including the mid
western synod, was voiced by Bishop
Weller in New York Wednesday, when,
according to an Associated Press dis
patch, he said:
I'VE resigned as protest against the
board of foreign missions participating
in the Panama congress.
We feel that the action of the board
, does not represent the majority senti-
ment of the Protestant Episcopal
Church, for the general convention, the
house of bishops and house of deputies.
! IN 1913, refused by a large vote to give
the board of missions authority to off,
cially. participate in interdenomina-
tional conferences for other congresses.
The other question at issue is not
merely that the Protestant Episcopal
Church does not wish to join in the
congress just because the Roman
Catholic Church has declined to par
, ticipate. but that we believe participa-
tion under such conditions would be a
terrific blow against all hope of Chris
tan unity

HINGES on LOCATION
Uncertainties As to Point At
Which British Searched
United States Vessel.

Whether or not there is friction with
Great Britain over the recent searching
OF the American ship. Zealandia. at or
near the Mexicao port OF Trogreso. has
resolved itselfN into n question Of the
facts.
Although American Consul Germon at
Profreso reported last week that the
Zealandia was forcibly searched by
men from a British cruiser. and It was
supposed this occurred within the three
mile limit. doubt has arisen on this i'm
portant point.
The State Department does not know
whether the Iealandia was outside the
three mile limit. but the Navy Depart
ment has information to the effect she
was lying a mile beyond II when
searched.
II this Is the fact. then no issue will
arise. It is conceded that IL the ves-
sci were on the high seas, actually or
technically, the British had the right
to search her.
; In the meantime. the State Department,
has asked tho British government for
Information, and a full statement OF
! tho case has been asked for from Con.
sui Germon at Progreso.
Should II develop that the Zealandla
was outside the three-mile limit ther
! there will arise no contention as to VIC.
lation OF Mexican neutrality. ON tn,

issue may arise between this country
