Land Commissioner Rejects
Several Names on Ground
Husband and Wife are Pro-

Same Area; Legal Contest
Threatened

Because Walter A. Engle, acting
land commissioner, has rejected the
name Of one of the successful appl1-
cants for Kappa homestead lots, MIS-
Julia Loane, legal proceedings seem
pending and are likely to hinder serl-
ously the drawing which was set for
next Wednesday. A number OF other
names have also been rejected on
similar grounds.
Judge Alexander Lindsay, Jr, Mrs.
Loane's attorney, stated today that &C
ton will probably be taken with a
view to having the rejection annulled.
Mrs. Loane, who drew No. 10, was re-
jected by the land official because
her husband, Don Loane, had also
filed an application. Engle's action
was taken upon the advice Of Arthur
G. Smith, acting attorney general.
Mrs. Margaret II. H. Evans, who
drew No 6, has also been rejected,
her husband, Luther A. K. Evans, hav-
ing filed application and drawn No.

institute proceedings il he can find
other rejected persons to go in with
him.
Former Mayor John c. Lane. 227,
and his wife, Alice K. Lane, 43S, have
also been refused as applicants. 9th

Edward Hopkins, recent candidate
for sheriff on the Republican ticket,
drew IS and has had his chance can
celed because Mrs. Hopkins, I'll, also
applied. w. c. Bergin, 500, and Mae
Bergin, 161, have been similarly re-
jected.
William L. Welsh, as trustee for an
eight.year-old son, drew No. 30 and
has been rejected by advice Of the
attorney-general's department, upon
the ground that a minor cannot Sc
cure homestead land and that trust
relations cannot legally exist between
the entryman and any other person in
