Camp Lee to be Abandoned

Inability of the State of Virginia 10
accept the lease on Camp Lee, near
Petersburg, offered by the War De-
partment, which decision was reached
several weeks ago at a meeting of the
Military Board in the Governors Office,
caused the government to announce
that all Of the removable government
improvements on the land will be sold
and the site disposed of, thereby
sounding the death knell of the famous
World War training camp.
Officials of Virginia endeavored to
save at least part of the famous
camp site for use as training ground
for State troops, but the financial con-
dition of the State would not permit
such an investment. The Adjutant-
Generals Office has received from
Chief-of-Staff Frank S. Cocheu, of the
headquarters of the Third Army Area,
Baltimore, the following:
Reference is made to yours of o.
tober p, relative to revocable lease to
the State of Virginia covering a part
OF Camp Lee, and in which Virginia
after careful consideration of the
entire matter, directed you to inform
these headquarters that no funds were
available for maintenance of the cams
and that the State is, therefore, unable
to accept revocable lease.
"The above information was convey
ed to the Adjutant- General of the
Army, Washington, D. c., and these
headquarters are this day in receipt
OF communication from the Adjutant-
General, in which it is stated that in
view OF the inability Of the State OF
Virginia to accept the revocable lease
offered by the War Department for
camp Lee, the headquarters general
has been directed to proceed with the
salvage and sale of all removable gov
eminent Improvements upon the land
and to effect lease or leases to inter-
ested parties of all land comprising
camp Lee, which act is necessary be-
cause of the fact that the War Depart
ment has no funds available for the
upkeep of the reservation"
Thousands of West Vireinia's sol.
diers received their military training
at Camp Lee.

A pretty ruin il has been with its

Indeed much damage has been done in
the past FIVE years. Constant digging

NORTH DAK0TA'S
RAILROAD CASE
OUT OF COURT I
Supreme Court of United States
Dismisses Action Instituted
to Bring Down Rates
HELD IMPROPERLY BRO'GHT'

Washington, Jan. 23.-The suit of
the state Of North Dakota to prohibit
the Chicago and Northwestern and
other railroads in that state from
charging increased rates within the
state was dismissed
The court in disnissing the pro-
ceedings declared that the suit
should have been brought in the Unit
ed States district court and that the
federal government should have been
made party to the suit.
North Dakota sought to restrain the
railroads from increasing rates, fares
and charges on their business within
the state until the order of the Inter.
hstate Commerce Commission direct
ing the increase could be reviewed
by the supreme court. The railroad
contended that the<proceeding was not
properly brought, the state not having
made either the |. c. A. or the U. S
party to the suit or brought the suit
in accordance with the interstate
commerce act.
The court in. dismissing the cas-
also held that the l. c. c. should hav
been made party to the suit.
The railroad rate case was institut'
ed in the supreme court Of the United
States by Attorney General 'Lemkt
after the Interstate Commerce Com
mission had overrulcd the North Da'
kota railroad commission and ordered
that the rates become effective. Tht
increase was the 35 per cent fiat IN
crease. The Esch-Cummins act was
attacked by the state in it's suit.

Washington, Jan. 23-The nom.

/ its subcommittee which a few

i favorable report. Further charges

1 ed at the full committees session.
Washington, Jan. 23.-(By
the Associated Press - The
senate subcommittee headed by
Senator Cummins, Iowa, today
recommended to the senate judi
ciary committee that the name
of Andrew Miller, nominated by
the President to be the federal
judge for the North Dakota dis
trict, be reported favorably to
the senate and that objections
to confirmation Of the Judge be
disregarded.
The subcommittee action was
understood to have been unani-
NOUS.
Opponents of Mr.. Miller were said
to have given notice that they would
make another effort to defeat con-
flrmation. Senator McCumber, who
recommended selection, believed, how
ever, that a favorable report on the
nomination would be made.
The nomination developed a hot
! fight in North Dakota and several
hearings were held by the sub-com-
mittee to hear affections and deter
mine his fitness. 1t was deemed un-
likely that further hearings would be
held by the full committee although
some senators said it probably would
carefully review evidence gathered by
the subcommittee.

Of Senators Cummins, Ashurst and
Ernst.
