SUPREME COURT REFUSES G|VE:
 LAND BACK

WASHINGTON, D. C., June 21,-I The Supreme Court today handed down a decision against the United States in the governments suit to have the court declare forfeited the unsold portion of the public lands granted to the Oregon X California Railroad Co.,, to aid in the roads con struction. The suit gives the railroad title to more than 2,300,OOO acres of western Oregon land valued at ap- proximately $50,O00,00O.
 The railroad company admitted that it had violated a provision in the agreement requiring 1t to sell the land in not more than 160 acre tracts for not less than $250 an acre, and only to actual settlers, but said that the government was estopped from raising the question of forfeiture be- cause of acQuiesence in the long dis regard of the selling provision by the company.
 The suit was many sided as there were several groups of intervenors.
 One group of squatters on the land were asking the court to make the company sell them share of the property. Another group of 6,00o intervened, and although they had not gone on the land. wanted the court to compel the company to sell to them. The state of Oregon intervened and asked that the lands be not for feited for the state would thereby lose million dollars a year revenue The Union Trust Co.,, intervened tC protect the railroads bondholder's The district court had declared tht lands forfeited, and the appeal, whici was taken last April, sets aside tha decision.

The mounted police showed their horses into the crowd, and used their whips freely but without effect. A call for the reserves was sent into police headquarters, and four autos full of bluecoats was hurried to the scene. The police at once drew their clubs, and waded into the crowd singling out the leaders for arrest. Many arrests were made, and although no serious effort to resist the officers was made, the temper of the crowd is growing worse, and when night comes, it is feared that there may be blood shed. The mob is determined on wreaking their vengeance upon some body, while the police are almost in- sufficient to adequately cope with the situation.
 Many requests have been made upon the governor to call out the militH but so far he has refused. The gov ernor refused also to add anything to the statement he made this morning The guards at Milledgeville state farm have been heavily reinforced in order to ward off any possible attempt tc take Frank from the hands of his iailerS

A Piece of Cheese.

l have dined in each cafe in The
Loop and on Broadway, in Vienna,
Moscow, London and Paree; I've re-
called the inner man in st Joe and
Ispahan and have slipped my bird
nest soup in Ping Yang kee; have
eaten everywhere, viands rich and
dishes rare-in Morocco, in Peru
and in LAHORE, but found not one
of these with flavor like the cheese
that used to swipe in Johnnie Mil
ler's store. I'm connoisseur ON
Swiss and I never, never miss a
chance to eat my fill of old de Brie,
and the Gorgonzola brand has an
odor;:great and grand and like a
bit Of lCheddar with my tea. 9 Good,
ripe Roquefort mingles fine with an
ancient Spanish wine, while each bit
of Edam makes me yearn for more;
and though Limberg scents the
breeze, it has nothing on the cheese
that / used to swipe in Johnnie Mil
ler's store can get along quite
we'll with the creamy Neufchatel, or
the Cammembert, as smooth as
China silk; even schmiercase isn't
bad and for Cheshire I'm quite mad
or Parmesan, made of thin and skim
my milk. You can take the entire
list, there is nothing l have missed
and I've often sent the waiter back
for more, but I'd crawl home on my
knees for a hunk Of country cheese
like l used to swipe in Johnnie Mil
ler's stOre.-E. F. Mcintyre.
