THROWING OLD THINGS AWAY

A"oO"A ANN OLD lnbNUs AWAI From The Point of View In scribner.
 T love those old New England houses that have been allowed to mellow undisturbed through sew eral cultured generations, and have thus been given atmosphere and per sonality and the air of tranquil ease. Their mahogany secretaries, their thousand-legged tables and their sleepy hollow chairs have kind of general fitness, a way of being taken for granted that comes only through years of placid association. Fam flies who have clung to one house long enough to grow white lilacs and build bookshelyes to fit their books, who have inherited the ac- ceptance of their neighbors and so need never push nor crowd nor offer explanations. leave their unmistak- able impress on their furniture. Only steadfast years and family unity can make even ugly chairs and tables seem to belong. regard such houses with the attentive admira- ton we bestow upon the unattain-. able. am not at all sure that 1 covet them. because I would not pay the price of freedom and adventure tucy tHtdils but HUN WlSliuliy up on their polished loveliiness.
 My ain folk come of peripatetic stock. I learned when very young to bear my part in the periodic family arguments as to whether we moved to Kansas City in ninetysix or ninety-seve and whether our house in Council Bluffs faced east or west, and I can even remember join ing valiantly in 8 dispute between my father and mother as to whether was born in Toledo. Ohio, or De- catur. III.
 Naturally. such rolling stones gathered neither white lilac bushes nor atmosphere. nor did our habits breed reverence in the hearts of the younger members of the family for their elders choice of household furniture and decorations. Instead of tending old mahogany and pa tiently darning lovely hand made bed-spreads. I learned to thrill and pant and tremble with the ever-new delight of throwing things away Every time we moved. we got rid of something. Interested always in the new and darkly suspicious of the old. came to love those times of change and upheaval and of casting aside.

Washington. July 4.--If any sig nificance attaches to the reported visit of five armored vessels" of the United States navy off Tampico, 1t was not indicated by officials here tonight No vessels of the Atlantic fleet are in that vicinity. they said, although some of the special service squadron comprising protected cruisers which cruise regularly in Mexican and Central American wat CTS, may have dropped anchor there. In such a case, officials expressed doubt that more than one or two had approached Tampico and then only as a matter of routine.

for 1919 show an increase Of approx

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

I Washington. supreme court
on March % rendered 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 cam
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
Iished and the state did everything re.
quired 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 it selec-
ton, the selected land, with $1,000
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 a surface right or to show
positively that the land was still not
known or believed to be mineral.
The state declined and insisted that
it's rights should be determined as of
the time when the selection had been
made. The commissioner of the land
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 CON-
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 be
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 at
the time they were selected, but which |
were found or were supposed to be
valuable for 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 been |
reversed BY the circuit court of ap-
peals. The supreme court upholds |
the contention Of the state and the
decision Of the district court. |

While the agents were searching
the place, the door suddenly opened
and a man ran i'll and out again.
He was followed by one Of the Of
icers and Trough back. His name
was al.o taken, it being the belief of
the officers that he tipped off Glib
son of their presence in the city and
their intentions of raiding the place.
The man was James Layden of 345
Madison avenue
Layden was searched but no whis-
key was found upon him. The
apartment over the saloon was
searched and a barrel of wine to-
gether with a barrel of prune and
fig mash were discovered but the
officers were unable to take any ac-
ton in this case as it was learned
it was not connected with the sa-
loon and they had no warrant for an
arrest.
While the Bank Cafe was being
raided, another squad of federal men
went t the Maple Inn at the cor
