REGULATION IS TO BE SUBJECT
 TO COURT TEST
Oil Leasing Ruling Objection- able, Will Be Fought by
 Maurice D. Leehey.

Declining to accept as final the ruling of Register Frank A. Boyle in rejecting one of two applications for oil leasing and prospects filed by Patrick Murphy, Maurice D. Lee hey, prominent Seattle and Alaska attorney, has given notice of appeal from MT. Boyle's action to the office of Clay Tallman, Commissioner Of the General Land Office of the first of its kind to come up from the local office and it is said it will be followed wih considerable inter- est by all persons interested in Al aska oil districts.
 Involves SecretariaI Rulings
 It is not contended by and of the interested parties that Mr. Boyle's ruling is at variance with the inter pretation of the oil leasing law of the Department of the Interior nor with regulations issued by the Sec retary under his construction of the law. It is held by the applicant through his attorney, that there is little foundation Tor the lnterpretd- tion of the Department and that the regulations should be changed to conform to what they claim to be the law.
 Cordova Claim At Stake
 s The records of the local U. s. Land Office show that Patrick Mur- phy located two oil claims on May 26, 1920, both on the left bank of the Eyak River, within a few miles of. the town of Cordova and on7 and one half miles from the Eyak Cannery. Applications for both oil leasing and prospecting permits were filed by the locator on November IL One application was approved by Register Boyle. but the other was rejected. MT. Boyle bases his rejec-

five claims and apply for the same number of permits within the limits of the Territory
 Probably Be Test Case
 While there is an absence of def mite information regarding the length which Mir. Leahey is prepared to go with his case. it is generally believed that the case will be carried as far as is necessary to test the validity of the present regulations. AS far as MT Boyle knows it is simply being taken to the Commissioner of the General Land Office, but there are number of similar cases winch have arisen in practically every field where prospectOrs have penetrated. It is thought that locators similarly involved will not relinquish any rights until the matter has been dei- initely decided. Should it be neces- sary the case may be carried up to Secretary Payne and in case eli stands by the ruling already made, it can then be appealed to the Sup reme Court of the District of Col umbia for a determination Of the purely legal aspects of the mater.

 Not in the Law
 An examination of the law as it now stands, however, reveals that it contains no provisions limiting the number of claims which may be located in the same structural area in Alaska It is true that there is a limiting provision applying to the States, but special consideration was shown for those who might engage in prospecting in Alaskan fields as is indicated by the clause which per mits anyone to locate as many as

FRANK KELLY, A WE'LL KNOWN
CRIMINAL.

Sing Sing for the murder of Gather
Inc, Dunn, in FIatbush, on Dec. &c
and self-confessed slayer of Emma
Mcdonald, some months earlier is
known in the West as Bus Cain,
a murderer and fugitive from JUS
tice. Cain, 1t is learned, fourteen
years ago at Springfield, Mo-, es-
capped from the clutches of mob
that burned three other Negroes at
the stake. Since the lynching bee
in Missouri, the wanderings of Cain,
or Kelly have taken him over both
Americas, North and South. The
news that he had been sent to the
death house in this state has just
been received at Springfield. To the
majority of those who remembered
his earlier crimes he had long been
considered dead.
To the good people OF Springfield
he had passed to an unknown be-
yond. When news that Frank KEEL
ly was arrested on December 18th,
for the murder of Catherine Dunn
in the home of her Flatbush en-
ployer. Clarence S. Clark. was flash
ed throughout the country the resi-
dent did not suppose for a moment
that he was Bus Cain. Nor were
their suspicious aroused when, dur
ing the trial, he Dlacidly revealed
how he had shot to death some
months before Emma Mcdonald, the
B. r. T. ticket agent, whose body
was found n a sand pit near Car
narsic. The truth did not become
known. until a few days ago, when
Kelly, iInbued with desperation OF
a convicted criminal, asked Spring
field relatives for aid In securing
an appeal Of his case.
