Republican A. p. Leased WireJ

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 25.-Oil land maps made by Stanford University students under the direction of Dr. J. C. Branner, former president of the university and head of the geology de- partment, were introduced by the gov ernment today in it's suit to recover California oil fields valued at S300- 00O,00O from the Southern Pacific company.
 It was Leland Stanford. founder of Stanford University, who was the moving spirit of the Southern Pacific when the lands now sought by the government and pictured in the maps were selected by the Southern Pacific.
 E. J. Justice, special assistant at tOrney general in charge of the oil suits for the government, told the court today that he intended to prove that the Southern Pacific sent a geolo- sist over the lands available to them under the grant made in Io1i, anc tna. it was the very lands which he re- ported as oil bearing that the Southern Pacific selected and later patented The government is trying to prove general fraud by the Southern Pacific in the selection and patenting of oil lands as agricultural sections.
 Besides the maps, selection lists of California lands filed with the in | terior department by the Southern | Pacific as far back as 1886 and up tt | 1894 were identified and introduced by | the government as exhibits. It is al | legged by the government that the lists consistently include mineral lands SC 1 designated by the land office; tha
 when the land office officials turned
 the company down" on certain land! 1 included in one list, the same land. were included in later lists submitted 1 for approval to patent to the land of | flee on the chance that the selection
 might be sanctioned by a different SC of officials.

Sticks By Mulatto

SALT LAKE CITY. Jan. 25.-N. L. Hood, the San Diego hotel proprietor, whose wife, and Raymond Dob0s, mulatto chauffeur, elOped from ther, last week and are held by the police here, failed to arrive this evening as was expected, and will probably ar rive tomorrow. Telegrams from Hood and the chief of police at San Diego advised that Hood would come here at once and requested that Mrs. Hood and Dobbs be held until his arrival.
 Dobbs discussed the case freely maintaining that he had endeaVoreu several times to sever his relations with Mrs Hood and that she had re- fused to allow him to leave her. Mrs. Hood is less disposed to talk but con firms Dobbs' story of their associa- ton.
 Representatives of the department of justice here and at Los Angeles arc investigating the case to determine whether the elopement constituted a violation of the Mann white slavery law. A question as to Dobbs' liability is raised by Mrs. Hoods assertion that she furnished all the funds for their journey.

SAN BERNARDINO, Calif., Jan. p. Statements that a group of inter national financiers had made efforts to acquire control of the valuable potash deposits at Searles Lake in San Bernardino county, were made in dispositions filed today in the superior court in connection with the suit of E. Thompson and R. Way mire to eject the California Trona Company from the land.
 The dispositions were made by Fred erick R. Hazard president of the Sovay Process Company of Syracuse, N Y., which is controlled by Brus- sels capital and Garvin Denby. of Detroit. Both stated they had know ledge of financial assistance being offered to Henry F.. Lee and his par ty of engineers, who disregarding the warnings of S. w. Austin, United States receiver in charge of the property, went on the land in OctO- Der, 1910 and made surveys and locations.
 Lee party, was called as a witness today. He testified regarding the making of locations at that time.
 When the federal receiver and his three armed men warned us not to trespass, Wyatt Earp, who headed Lees armed force, walked up to one of Austin's men and grabbed rifle from his hands" Rasor testified Austin then drew a revolver.

 NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-PauI M. Warburg, a member of the federal re- serve board, speaking at the dinner of the New York Credit Mems asso- citation tonight, warned against the danger of American business men be- ing misled through the extraordinary conditions which inevitably will make the United states the worlds banker

 He cautioned against destroying the basis of our future lending power by making long-term loans to foreign countries at this tune.

 LONDON, Jan. 26.-The Daily Mail correspondent, who arrived at Nish on January 1S describes what he saw of the German emperor at close range on
 several occasions at Nish and what
 happened at the royal banquet where
 the emperor was the guest of King
 Ferdinand.
 q was face to face with the em- peror directly I left the train" said the
 correspondent. King Ferdinand had
 only a few moments before receiving
 him on his arrival from the west and
 the royal couple were walking up and
 down the station platform without ceremony, arm in arm. I had never seen Ferdinand before, and it was
 eight years since I had last seen the emperor
 What a change. The emperor is
 not a tall man, as represented in his photographs. and beside the great, massive figure of the haWk-nosed Fer dinand. which has a curious, duck-like waddle. the great war-lord seemed al- | most diminutive. The emperor wore a long gray coat, brown fur necklet, and a spiked helmet covered with khaki cloth. The people did not show much interest in the emperor, but the Bulgarian ministers were obsequious. How did the emperor look? Wheth- CT it be due to the fatigues of the war, the effect of a Wo-days' journey, or ill health, l cannot say, but his face is that of a tired and broken man. His hair is white though his moustache is still suspiciously dark. There was an absence of the old activity of gesture
 The emperor was obviously out to
 make himself agreeable. He exam ined the medals of the Bulgarian sol | diers with apparent interest and chat | ted with royal affability and smiled right and left. None the less, he is greatly aged He held in his hand q i handkerchief, which he was perpetu- | ally using, and l noticed later at the | banquet that he seemed to require it | to assuage the continual coughing. The 1 handkerchief was a huge Turkish af- l fair of red. embroidered with a white Turkish star and crescent in the cor ner.
 At the banquet King Ferdinand sat
 on tho emperor's right and M. Rados-
 lavoff, the premier, on his left. Next ! to King Ferdinand sat General von Falkenhayn, the German chief of
 staff. The emperor ate and drank virtually nothing at the banquet, and 1 it is said that he always eats before proceeding to state functions. Ger
 tainly he spent more time coughing | than eating at Nish.
 The gathering broke up quite in | formally, the whole scene leaving an | impression of simplicity"

After Much Waiting, new Postmaster at Last Ordered to take Charge of

Selim J. Nicholson yesterday re- ceived a telegram from Postmaster General Burleson directing him to take charge of the post, office and he will do so this morning. The nomination of MT. Nicholson was made several weeks ago and not long after the senate acted favorably on it, but in the stress of other matters, there was some delay, as there usu- ally is, in the issuance of this com mission.
 Since the death of the late Post master Wood, the office has been under the direction of Acting Post master Steward. MT. Nicholson will now give his entire time to the con- duct of the office and will bring into it the same energy that has made his private business a success.
