Supreme Court Rules Against Texans in Famous Case
 of Big Tract

PHOENIX, Dec. 16.-The supreme court of Arizona today handed down a decision in the Caca Float number five case, in which former Senator Pailey of Texas, his son, Weldon Bailey and other prominent Texans were involved as owners of the prop erty. The supreme court sustained the position of the state tax commits sion and Santa Cruz county, Ariz., that the land grant should be taxed for the years 1913-1916. inclusive. to the amount of $95,000. The grant totals 100000 acres.
 The tax levy had been the subject of litigation in the superior court or Santa Cruz county early in 1917. Judge Patee of Pima county, sitting for the occasion, ruled that taxation should not apply for 1913 and 1914 because survey of the grant had not been filed. but should apply for 1915 and 1916. On appeal the supreme court upheld the lower court as to taxatjon for 1915 and 1916, but held tax should also be imposed for the two earlier years, quoting ruling ol the supreme court of the onlIeu States that state was empowered to tax claims to land as well as lanu itself and that a claim to Caca floa' ,,,,r,her five had been confirmed Dy the United States supreme cour' nrior to the filing of the survey.

The Mex ican reply was handed to the Ameri- can charge d'affairs this evening.
 The note declares that the Jenkins case was taken on an altogether diff ferent aspect since the American agents release. In polite terms it differs with the American objection to former legal technicalities, reaf- firming that the Jenkins case was entirely legal one. Moreover, the Mexican answer points out, the Amer ican governments belief in Jenkins innocence of the charge against him is not enough to warrant setting aside Mexican laws.
