GIVES STATE TITLE
TO MINERAL LANDS
DECISION WILL HAVE FAR.
REACHING EFFECT IN OIL
PRODUCING TERRITORIES.
High Tribunal overrules Court OF
Appeals and Commissioner Of
General Land Office Regard
ing Rights Of State.

Washington.--The supreme court
on March % rendered q far-reaching
opinion in the case of the state Of
Wyoming versus the United States,
in which the supreme court overruled
not only the circuit court of appeals,
but the secretary of the interior and
the commissioner of the general land
office and held that when state
properly and completely makes lieu
selection the rights of the state can
not be overturned by subsequent
showing that the land in question is
mineral In character. The decision is
important particularly in oil produc-
ing regions.
The state of Wyoming In 1912 re-
linquished to the government some of
Its school land which had been includ-
ed In forest reserve and in lieu Sc
lected other public land outside the
forest reserve, including the land in
volved in the suit. Notice of the
states selection was regularly pub
lished and the state did everything re-
CURED by law.
No objection was raised to the
states selection and the list was duly
approved and transmitted to the gen.
eral land office by the local land Of
flee In 1912. The list remained In the
general land office for more than
three years. Meantime, In 1914, two
years after the state made 1t selec-
ton. the selected land, with $4,000
acres of other land. was temporarily
withdrawn as possible oil land and
the following year the commissioner of
the land office declined to approve the
state list, called on the state either
To accept surface right or to show
positively that the land was still not
known or believed to be mineral.
The state declined and insisted that
its rights should be determined as of
the time when the selection had been
office therefore Cancelled the selection
because of the oil discoveries made in
that vicinity after the states selec-
ton had been filed. The secretary
OF the interior affirmed the ruling OF
the commissioner.
In the meantime, the state had
leased this land and the land was sub
sequently developed by an oil com
pany under assignment There was
no discovery of oil, however, until
after the lease was made, or four
years after the selection.
The effect of this decision will he
to Overturn many rulings of the in
terror department where the depart
ment has undertaken to defeat lieu
selections which embrace lands not
known to contain oil or mineral ut
the time they were selected, but which
were found or were supposed to be
valuable foH oil after the date of Sc
lection, but before the selection was
passed upon by the secretary of in,
terror.
In this particular case the district
court for Wyoming had ruled in favor
of the state of Wyoming and had beer
reversed by the circuit court of APP
| peals. The supreme court uphold'
! the contention Of the state and Tho
| decision OF the district court.

TWO MEN CRUC|F|ED
IN EASTER SERVICE
TIED TO HUGE WOODEN CROSSES
BY RELIGIOUS FANATICS
IN NEW MEXICO.
At the End Of Two Hours the Victims
OF Rites OF Penitentos Are
Taken Down, Exhausted and
in Critical Condition.

Albuquerque, n. Mt has been
learned here that two men were cruel
fled at the Penitente village Of Ablqulu
in northern New Mexico on Good Fri
day in observance OF Holy Week in
rites performed by members of the
lIermanos de Luz, Brothers of Light,
Il religious order. This information
was brought by Il. j. Nordfeldt and
Gustave Baumann. artists of Santa
Fe, N. NJ, who arrived here Tues
day.
For more than half an hour the two
men were tied to huge wooden crosses,
at the end of which time they were
taken down bleeding and exhausted,
reports said Their condition Is un-
determined but believed to be criti-
cal.
The Penitentes, as the Hermanos
de Luz are commonly known, are fast
disappearing. They have however,
played conspicuous part in the his
tory of the Spanish southwest. The
principles Of the order were said to
have been brought to New Mexico
from Mexico and to Mexico from
Spain. The order, according to Its
priests, has descended from the so.
called whipping brotherhoods estab
lished by st. Anthony of Padua In
Italy.
Public disapproval of cruel practices
in connection with their religious
rites has made the Penitentes wary
and II is with extreme difficulty that
Americans are able to witness their
ceremonies. At Abiquiu. however
Americans were able to see the long
professions of flagellants on Coco
Friday, who whipped themselves with
thorn whips dipped in brine water
while one of their number carried q
heavy cross, and later to witness the
crucifixions.

POLAND CALLED REAL VICTOR
Majority in Coal and Zinc Districts
Against Germans in Plebiscite.

westinghouse is announced here
that with the same skill familiar dur
ing the war, when defeats were made
to seem victorious by prompt and
skillful propaganda, the Germans
have sought to create the impression
in the world that the plebisclte in
Upper Silesla has been German vic
tory. The fact is quite otherwise and
unless violence is done to the will of
the majority in certain regions and
the whole purpose of the plebiscite
negatived, Poland will gain the real
prize, the great coal and zinc mines
of the region.

WHIPPING POST IN DELAWARE
Relic Of Dark Ages Put in Operation,
Four Negroes Being Whipped.

Wilmington, Dela,--At Newcastle
county workhouse, on Saturday, four
negroes felt the sting of the Delaware
whipping post law. Those whipped
were Warner Lewis, convicted OF lar
ceny and sentenced to one year In
prison and twenty lashes; Leonard
Barrett, highway robbery, ten years
and forty lashes and John Richard
son and Horace Archie, highway rob
berry, ten years and forty lashes each.
Only by occasional flinching did the
victims give evidence of physical SUI
fering.
This total of 40 lashes was the
largest imposed Mt the whipping post
in this country for many years. The
tendency of recently enacted laws has
been to permit more discretion in the
courts In respect to imposing corporal
punishment.

The Chickasha daily express. (Chickasha, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1899-current, 1921-03-11

Chickasha, Okla, March 5, 1921.
This statement is addressed to every fair
minded thinking citizen of Chickasha We be-
lieve all good citizens are for better Chicka-
sha, better Grady county, and better Ok
ahoma. First Of all, we want to see our city
grow and prosper. We declare ourselves for
any good movement which would tend for the
betterment of this city. Conditions exist now
which are daily growing worse right here in
our midsts. We feel that the majority of the
citizenship do not approve of these conditions
nor do they intend to tolerate such conditions
longer
factionaism is q detrment to any town
or community Fair dealing with a spirit of CO.
operation is necessary for success for any city
or community. A specific example has been
brought to our attention today
Mr.. j. I. Gossett, proprietor of the Early
Hotel of Chickasha, not being able to meet the
demands of the culinary union has been placed
on socalled unfair list with organized labor
unions. This affects the Early Hotel and the
Early Hotel dining room. Not only does it af
feet Mr.. Gossett in his business, but if the cti-
zenship of this town tolerate the tactics to ef-
feet the demands of the culinary union, it will
affect every business, as we'll as individual, in
our city. The demands were: That Mr.. Cos
sett employ union chef at $40 per week and
board, that he employ a second cook at $35 per
week and board, that employ all union wait
resseS in his dining room at Sis per week and
board, that he employ bus boy at SIS per week
and board. These employees work hours As
minutes per day with the privilege of each en-
ployee using their employers time in which to
eat their own meals, allowing 30 minutes for
each meal; leaving only six hours and fifteen
minutes per day in which to work.
This condition making expenses exorbi-
tant, and Mr.. Gossett believing in the privilege
and right of every citizen to employ whomso-
ever he desires, declined to sign such contract
with the Culinary union.
We have information that on or about
Thursday. night, March 3, 1921, the Trades
Council of Chickasha, through which all local
unions affiliate, met in session and passed
The Chickasha daily express. (Chickasha, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1899-current, 1921-03-11
4 Public Statement

resolution which in substance is as follows, to-
wit: That all merchants who have union card,
all union clerks and all other union men who
are now stopping at the Early Hotel would
have to move or they would be classed as un-
fair to all organized labor and it is the duty
OF all union men to report another who does
not comply with this order
When the demands of the Trades Council
became known "a mass meeting was held at the
Chamber of Commerce Rooms, by strong rep
resentative body of the citizenship of Chicka-
sha. Every financial institution in our city, and
many of the mercantile and other business es-
adjustments were represented. Mr.. GOssett
made the statement as above outlined of the
demands that were made on him and his bust
ness. After general discussion concerning
the conditions as they exist in our city with
express determination from every individual
to lend his power to correct these conditions, a
specific resolution was passed as follows, to-
wit:
That this body Of representative citizens Of
the City of Chickasha, Oklahoma, in open mass
meeting go on record as emphatcally disap-
proving the action of the Trades Council of
Chickasha Oklahoma. and affiliated local un-
ions, in ordering boycott of trade oepforce
their demands; that we most emphdtic0lIy dis
approve of the resolution affecting the Early
Hotel, and further that we disdpprOUe any and
all resC utiOns by any and all organizations
that would tend to wrong any individual citi-
zen or any legitimate business whatsoever in
our city.
This resolution was unanimously passed
and orders were issued that it be printed so
that the balance of our citizenship that were
unable to attend this mass meeting should have
an opportunity to know of this particular con-
dition.
To the citizens who were not present at this
meeting, and who approve of this step as for
ward movement for better Chickasha big
ger Chickasha, and cleaner Chickasha, you
can align yourself with this movement by pac-
ing your name in the hands of the committee
selected.
We do not wish to wage fight on any one.
The Chickasha daily express. (Chickasha, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1899-current, 1921-03-11

We do not wish to see any one out of employ
ment but we do emphatically declare that tao
tics which are now being used in our city to ef-
feet demands are far beyond all rights of JUS
tice from any individual or organization. From
the foundation of this world until today, man
in both his individual and collective capacity in
all walks Of life has realized that favors and
demands acquired by the sacrifice Of principle
and right are temporary pleasures purchased
at an exceedingly high price.
This citizenship of Chickasha represented
at the mass meeting does not intend to allow
the principle of right to be sacrificed, and wish
to go on record further with this statement.
They emphatically disapprove of boycotts to
effect the demands of organized labor or capi-
tai; that we approve of every Individual, every
corporation, co-partnership, business of any
and all natures, conducted on a fair and legit-
mate basis
We are entering into new era-eficien-
cy will have it's reward.
We respectfully submit this open state
ment to the citizenship off our town.
