louisville. Pa, Dec. IA
While winter weather settled over
he country today. frantic appeals

anthracite region from scores Of
big and little cities and towns.
Operators estimate a shortage Of
20,000,000 tons in the available sup

In the face of this terrible demand
Tor immediate coal. the mines In .
large share of the anthracite re-
gion are confronted by the greatest
drought ever known. and which
continues. Water for steam pur.
poses has dwindlef away until
many streams are entirely dry and
others nearly so. Some coilieries
are entirely shut down while others
are on the verge Of closing. and
the remainder are working on q
badly crippled basis.
The Philadelphia and Reading.
Pennsylvania, Lehigh Valley and
other railroads are hauling water
long distances in numerous long
trains made up from tank cars and
surplus locomotives. Even with
these water trains running day and
night there is hardly enough to
keep the mines going!
In the mining region today the
water situation is desperate. Hard.
coal operators, In q last effort to
relieve the situation in New York
and other cities, are opening up
discarded coal banks of scrap coal
some of which have been piled up
for more than half a century. One
such bank has just been leased by

GIRL WINS SUIT.
FOR DESERT
LAND 4
Supreme Court Gives Title In
imperial Valley to
Ethel Hart

Title to Imperial valley irrigated
lands. California, was awarded to
Ethel Hart by decision Of the Su.
preme Court Of the United States
yesterday. The land was claimed By
Joseph w. Cox. 2-
The Interior Department and the
courts differed In constituting q land
act by Congress applying to the
Imperial valley.
j. w. Hart, father of Ethel Hart,
went on the land in 1905 and marked
out a claim under the desert laws BY
blowing a boundary furrow around
1t. The Imperial Valley had been
surveyed by the Government In 1854,
but the survey was inaccurate and
q resurvey was ordered in 1902. Set
tlement of the valley did not begin
until 1900, and the resurvey plats
were not filed until 1909, with the
result there has been much confusion
over titles.
Joseph w. Cox settled on land
within the Hart furrow boundaries
in 1906 and year later filed ap-
plication for the land with the Los
Angeles Land Office. In 1903 Cox
filed a second application under the
resurvey. Ethel Hart filed applica.
tons for the land within the fur.
row boundaries, but in each instance
she was later than Cox.
The Interior Department ruled
that the law respecting taking pos
session Of unsurveyed desert lands
with preference rights did not ap-
ply to the Imperial Valley and
awarded title to Cox. The Cali
fornia courts and the Federal
courts of the section decided the
other way and awarded title TO
Ethel Hart. The Supreme Court Of
the United States overruied ths
contentaon OF the Interior DeDart
