CANAL LAND OWNERS
FIGHT SEIZURE

New Orleans. La, April 9.-Whether
the United States government has the
right to seize lands at the entrance
of the Panama Canal win be determin-
ed in the federal courts. The firss
case appealed from the court OF the
Canal Zone to the United States fed
eral courts has been entered in the
circuit court of appeals here. 1t in
wolves the retention by number OF
poor owners OF land their little farms
at the Atlantic entrance of the canal.
or the seizure by the government. An
added feature of the suit, and one
which will make this first case of great
interest politically, is the claim OF
the land owners that their land Is
wanted for the use and benefit of pri-
vate oil corporations.
Gideon Dixon and others have enter
ed the appeal from Judge Jackson
refusal to grant a preliminary injunc-
ton to prevent Col. George w. Goe.
thals from taking possession of their
lands. Adjacent and south of the city
of Colon there has been for years a
village formerly known as Monkey Hill,
but since. the American occupation 1t
has been designated the village of
Mount Hope After the Americans
came the original owners of farms con-
tinued in possession of the lands and
dwellings without interruption. They
paid their taxes and complied with the
laws for the government of the Zone.
Last October, a large number of the in
habitants received notice that their
houses had been condemned for san1-
tary reasons. On making further in
quiry they were told that it would be
necessary to reconstruct their build
ings, and no permit would be issued
for such purpose. They appealed for
time to comply with the order to va.
cate, but were refused The matter
was nedrO III LH6 Od1dl LOuS COui III
February, and the application for in
junction was refused.
There are "a plaintiffs in the action
who have been in possession of the
property involved for a period of from
5 to 40 years, and for the most part
they are poor persons. The Circuit
Court of Appeals in the regular course
of business will not reach the case for
three years. Meanwhile they face
ruin, it is said, at the hands of the
United States Government.
The claim that the property is want
ed for the purpose of accommodating
oil companies Is made by the plain.
tiffs.
When the case is heard, the court
will be called upon to rule on the con-
struction to be placed upon the rights
acquired by the United States under
its treaty with the Republic Of Pana-
ma, and the status Of the rights &C.
quired under the prior existing con
stitution and laws of the country.
