OUTLOOK FOR VETS
GROWS DARKER AS
: PEACE IS DELAYED
Hopes Deferred From Date
| to Date and Christmas
? Now Suggested Time. " -.

Developments in the Senate, where the
peace treaty Is being fought out. have
put a damper on the hopes Of liquor in
terests for lifting of wartime prohibi-
ton before constitutional prohibition be-
comes effective, and never since last
July has the outlook been so dark as at
present for the "wets''
Not ray Of sunshine for those who
want to sell liquor or buy it can be
found at the Department of Justice or
xhe White House, and the hope that
rested in the Senate grows fainter as
January 16, the date constitutional pro-
hibition will become effective, draws
near.
Hinges on Treaty Situation.
Acting on the advice of the Attor-
ney General, President Wilson last
summer stated that he had no power
under the present law to declare war
time prohibition at an end until the
peace treaty had been ratified, and
he has consistently maintained that
position. He has gone so far as to
ask Congress to cancel the wartime
prohibition act by new legislation,
but Congress has shown no DISPOSE
tion to do this, so the entire situa-
tion hinges on the date of the prob
able ratification of the treaty.
It was pointed out that if the demo-
Gratis refuse to accept the treaty as
finally remodeled by the republicans,
and the necessary two-thirds majority
is not forthcoming, constitutional pro-
hibitfon may be an old story before
there is any ratification.
Should the Congress by resolution
declare the state of war at an end.
doubtful If the President would take
that as the signal for declaring war
time prohibition finished, as he may
hold with others that such action
would not dispose of the technical
state of war in which this country
now finds itself.
Optimistic persons. including those
who have liquor in bond, those who
have money loaned on such liquor,
those who wish to sell stocks now on
pleted cellars. predicted late last sum-
mer that wartime prohibition would
end October 1. When that date
brought no change the guess was
moved to October Is, and finally to
November 1.
Becomes Dryer and Dryer.
Rumors then developed that Armis-
tice day would see "the lifting of the
ban." but November II came and went,
and the country became dryer and
dryer.
Now the ever-hopeful vets are an
i. .ticipating q moist Christmas. which
comes but twenty-three days in ad-
vance OF constitutional prohibition.
Little encouragement. however, is held
out to them from any branch Of the
government.
Some hope is entertained that the
judicial arm of the government may
decide that the prohibition enforce
ment act is unconstitutional. or that
the constitutional amendment has not
been properly ratified by. the states,
but this is not enough to justify any
one in polishing up, the cocktail and
highban glasses and buying a new cork
screw. = -r,

In Courts Since 1919.

This case has been before the courts
since 1919, the taking of evidence con-
suming more than q year.
The patent was issued by the gov

having filed false affidavits in con-

Consular Agent Was Taken

With Collision.

William o. Jenkins. American con-
sular agent at Puebla, was Detained at
the penitentiary for two hours after
mis- arrest on a charge of collusion
with the bandits who recently kid
napedr him.. according t6 advices to
the State Department today from
Mexico City. He then was released
without bail and is now restricted to
his own home. -
First news of the arrest of the con-
sular agent was sent to the State
Department yesterday by the Ameri-
can embassy, which reported that the
arrest appeared to be based on decla-
rations from a number of poems who.
under threats. made statements pur-
porting to establish collusion.
The department Immediately tele-
graphed urgent instructions to the
embassy to take the matter up with
the Mexican foreign Office with a view
to securing the release Of Jenkins.
The embassy's, later report that Jen-
kins had been released, but restricted
to his home. was based on a tele-
gram from the consular agent.

WINS
IN OIL LAND SUIT
Famous Southern Pacific
Case Goes Against the
Company--Stocks Break.

BY decision OF the United States
Supreme Court handed down this aft
ernoon. the United States becomes re-
possessed of oil rights on 10000 acres
OF valuable oil lands. granted to the
Southern Pacific Railway Company
many years ago, situated in California,
and known as one of the most produc-
tive oil sites in the country.
The Southern Pacific maintained its
claim to the property on the ground
of discovery. claiming that geologists
and other experts in the service of the
government had carefully examined
the ceded territory for mineral rights
cations Of oil or other rights. they
could not now claim mineral rights
of the property in question.
When the case was brought before
the federal district court of Cali
fornia the government claimed that
it had not. forfeited it's rights and the
Southern Pacific attorneys referred to
failure to note value even after ex-
periments and study.
Lower Courts Disagree.
while there had been no actual dis
covery of oil by the agents of the
government, surrounding conditions
clearly indicated that it was valuable
for oil.
On an appeal, the circuit court of
appeals overruled the decision of the
lower court and the government car
ried the case up.
Justice Van Devanter, who rendered
the, opinion, declared that the South
ern Pacific officials were not acting
in good faith. owing to their efforts
to obtain the land. "by representing
that the lands were not mineral when
they believed the fact was otherwise. -
After considering all the evidence, "
he said, 1--WE believe that it is ade-
quately shown that the lands were
known to be valuable for oil when the
patent was sought and obtained, and
by this we mean that the known con-
ditions at that time were such as to
reasonably engender the belief that
the lands contained oil of such quail
ity and in such quantity as would rem
der it's extraction profitable and justi-
fy expenditure to that end.
ut did not relieve the company from
showing that the lands were not min
eral, nor did the company understand
that it had any such effect
This latter in contradistinction to
the claim that government experts
failed to locate mineral on the land.
