gaiety, and in the temporary absence
OF her chaperone, little GeOrGine in

Georgine is the daughter of Vicomte
de Brissac, a flirtatious old man of

so fascinated with the mysterious
maiden in the lilac domino, whose

friends manage TO bring him to the

OIL LAND
ORDER UPHELD
The Supreme Court Sustalns
Taft's Withdrawals
in the West
CLAIMS WORTH
MILLIONS ANNULLED
Land in Wyoming and Cali
fornia Affected by
Decision

Washington. Feb. 24.-President Tatt's
withdrawal of oil lands in California
and wyoming in 1909 without empow-
ering legislation was upheld yesterday by
the supreme court, and entry claims OF
individuals and corporations valued az
hundreds of millions of dollars were an
nulled thereby.
President Taft withdrew the lands as
a conservative measure, and on june -,
1910, Congress passed q law ratliyihg
his action. Oil corporations, princlpally,
entered many tracts between the Two
dates and have resisted attempts OF the
government to put them out. Inc gov
eminent defended the withdrawal, part
w as being for preserving an oil supply
for the navy. Justice Lamar announced
the courts decision, from which Justices
Day. MeKenna and Vandayanter DIS
sented. The case has nothing to DO
with the enforcibility of the prevailing
form of oil leases, which is involved IN
another case.
The retention by the government OF
oil lands in California, Arizona, Wyo-
ming, Utah and Colorado, valued at ilg-
nres so stupendous as to be almost uli-
heHeyable. Is confirmed by the decision.
Hearing OF the suit OF the government
against the Midwest Oil 60. and
others, began in the United States court
of appeals in Denver, Col, on Sept. 80,
1918. Technically, the suit involved II
Tie to only 100 acres Of land in the
wyoming oil fields, valued at from ST.
100000 to $4000000! In reality i IN
yolved the validity OF an order issued by
President Taft on Sept. p, 1902 with
drowning from all forms of entry S,04l 900
acres in California and Wyoming. AT
the original hearing of the suit in Chey-
enne in 1912. evidence was introduced to
show that the officials of the navy de-
partment estimated the amount OF Oil
in the land withdrawn in California alone
At 4O00O00 900 barrels, which represents
value OF s2.0O0,000.000. The suit was
brought by the government against the
West Oil Co., the Reed Investment 90,
and Others.
Judge Riner of Wyoming ordered the
suit dismissed and the Denver hearing
was on the governments appeal. Judge
Riner held that the president did not
have the authority to withdraw the
lands from entry.
