OF his listeners were surprised.

much more we may have to pay for
electricity, telephoning and other
things We are not going to drop them,
because OF their value in aiding US

and the world never go backward.
And so the fact that there are today
more than 35O0,000 cars in use in
this country is evidence that automo-
biles are not going to be put aside.
Now consider war conditions. The
government is not going to take over
the entire steel output, nor that OF any

of motor cars who long ago put in
their orders for stock will be asked

But this maker and that maker will
be asked to get along with maybe one

means there will be less cars put out

yiSALIA, Cal, April 1.-The United
States land office rendered an impor-
tant decision yesterday. upholding the
claim CT the federal government
against the Honolulu Consolidated Oh
Comnany, who have been claimants
to oil laads in Kern county valued all

Under the decision the oil company
Is declared ousted from the lands in
dispute, which revert TO the govern
msnf TO be incIaded in the naval re-
serve.
The land office uphoids the govern
rnenf in it's contention that the lands
were illegally taken up, the original
fiIers upon the property being dunn
mics.
The original locators had no claim
uoon the property which required rec
IGNITION by the courts and were con-
seauentiy unable to pass on any valid
title to others. These dummy locators
sold their rights to the land to the
fncorperators of the Honolulu Consoii-
dated for 81 an acre. although some u
those who figured as sellers had not
even seen the land they protested 70
be the owners Of and which they sold.
Following the announcement OF the
decision il was announced at the land
office that an appeal from the deci.
sion had been filed by the officers OF
the company.

May Be Section
Two of the large stockholders Of the
company in Honolulu this morning
said that the meaning OF the decision
was q matter of surmise on their part
bat that they thought it probably re-
ferred to one portion only Of the hold
ings of the company, whatsis known as
section 6. On this section there had
never been an adjudication OF the land
board while on other lands there had
been adjudications by that body.
There has been considered to be
some question in regard to securing
titles on such land because of the Ill
ings, it being said that dummies we're
used as the Associated Press report OF
the decision says. In regard to it
Captain Matson is reported to have
said that If there was any doubt on
any of the lands of the company II
was on section 6, but that on other
lands he felt no doubt of ultimately
securing patents.
The large stockholders seen this
morning are thoroughly familiar with
the status of affairs and while they
could not definitely say that it was
only section that is affected that
was their hope and belief. .
Possibly AFFECTS Other Lands
The decision referred to In the fore
going report may be one rendered up
on the rehearing of the application for
patents on the claims for which the
company has no patents. It Already
has patents on some of its claims and
the other claims we're desired to con
meet up the patented lands of the com
pany. Over such claims water and
oil pipes have been run and roads
have been built. On the first hearing
1the land board decided adversely and
q rehearing was sought and obtained
After it the counsel of the company
expressed confidence in securing 9
favorable opinion. Such hopes may
have been unfounded A court contest
aas been talked of for several weeks
past and it is expected that now the
company will carry the matter through
to the supreme court.

land by q local broker this morning
shows decline in San Francisco was
