TRIAL OF Big OIL
LAND SUIT BEGINS
Government Seeks to Recover
Half Million Acres Held by
Southern Pacific.
MILLIONS ARE INVOLVED

New York, Jan. 23.-Nearly half a
million acres Of oil land in the San
Joaquin valley, California, valued al
$50, 100000, is at stake in the govern
ments suit against the Southern Pa.
cifc railroad on trial here before
Judge Bledsoe of the federal court
of Los Angeles. From this land, the
testimony shows, the railroad COM
pany has been taking about 100000
barrels of oil mouth If the gov
crnment wins its suit for possession
of the property, it is said that these
oil fields will be used to supply fuel
for the navy,
julius Kruttschnitt, chairman of the
executive committee OF the Southern
Pacific, one OF the first witnesses
called here for the defense, declared
that when his company first obtained
title to the land in dispute he never
dreamed" that they contained oil. The
government holds that the Southern
Pacific company obtained land grants
from the government knowing that
oil was present, while the government
officials understood the property was
to be used for agricultural develop
ment
The-suit is brought on grounds OF
fraud Examination of witnesses
representing the defendant railroad
company continued today.

Rio Janiero, Brazil, Jan. 23.-The
Danish steamer Hammershus was
fired on last night by the guns oe the

trying to put to sea secretly after re
ceiving a quantity of provisions and,
according to report, large quantity
of explosives from the German ships

anchor close to the German ships. 1t
took on board large number Of cases
and then attempted TO leave the har-
bJr
The movements OF the ship were
observed from the fort and it vas
signalled to stop. The signals we're
ignored until two cannon shots were
fired, when the Hammershus halted

Ministerial Crisis
In Japan Will Be
Fought Out in Diet

Toxic, Jan. 23.-Japan is confronted
with all internal crisis. The oppo-
stion to the administration of Count
Terauchi has opened vigorous CAM
paign on the ground that the Ter
auchi nonpartisan cabinet was
formed in violation of the spirit Of
the constitution. The constitutional
party, which has a majority in the
House of Peers and is under the lead
ership of Niscount Kato, former min
lister of foreign affairs, has joined
hands with the nationalist group in
the lower house for war against the
premier. The battle will be fought
out in the Diet, which reconvenes to-
day. Count Terauchi and Viscount
Motono, foreign minister, will de-
liver addresses in defense of the ad-
ministration. The press expects the
outcome of the crisis to be dissolu-
ton and a new election.
Field Marshal Count Terauchi took
Office in October, 1916. The emper-
or's action in summoning him to
form cabinet was surprise both in
Japan and abroad and was vigorously
criticised by the Japanese political
leaders, who contended that the new
premier did not command public sup
port.
Count Terauchi was formerly gov
ernor of Korea and is supposed to
represent the radical militarist fac
ton in Japan.
