DENVER, Colo, Sept 20.-Claimed
encroachment of the federal govern
ment on mineral rights of states on
land within their boundaries was pro-
tested by Governor George Dern OF
Utah and Representative Charles E.
Winter of Wyoming before the West
can Mining congress, in session mere
tonight. William Spry, commissioner
of the general land office of the m

statement that your present demands
that you be given the mineral school
sections is a reputation of your SOL
emn acceptance of the grants and
vour insistence that the rules of evil
dence be changed and that the de-
partment be excluded from final con-
sideration of claims is equally inde-
fensible."
The speakers urged that title to
school lands reserved to the states
when they were admitted to the union
be settled and confirmed. The fed
eral government is taking school
lands which prove to be valuable IN
minerals and giving other lands to
the schools and respective states.
Governor Dern said: Attempts to
secure relief through litigation have
been unavailing, The problem is still
the most serious one confronting our
state The only relief can come
through congressional action"

SPRY,s ADDRESS

DENVER, Colo, Sept. 20.-The fight
of the states against mineral exclusion
clauses in public, school land grants
strikes at the very roots OF the mining
industry and imperils irrigation, in the
opinion of William Spry, commissioners
Of the general land office of the de-
partment of the interior, who today
addressed the western state convention
of the American Mining congress, in
session here.
The states demands that they be
given the mineral school sections is a
reputation, Spry declared, of their sol
emn acceptance of the grants, and there
insistence that the rules of evidence
be excluded from the final considera-
tion of the claims, is equally indefensi-
BILE.
Mineral lands do not belong to the
states and never did, MIR Spry de-
clared. "The public lands were ac-
duired by gift of the older states, by
purchase, and by the blood of our sons.
No public land state has added an acre

COOLIDGE ASKS
MA TIONAL AID
FOR FLORIDANS
lBn Dispatch A. 2. Wirel

WASHINGTON, Sept. 90 A quick
and whole hearted response to the dis
tress calls of the storm swept district
of Florida came today from the ma
tions capital
President Coolidge led the move for
relief by formally asking the American
people to contribute to fund to aid
those who had gone through IAN over
whelming disaster
He promised such assistance as was
within the means of the government
and following his lead the members of
the cabinet whose departments were in
position to offer help, formally placed
their resources at the command of
those in charge of rehabilitation work.
The Red Cross was active early and the
first response to the presidents call
was contribution of 100000 from the
national headquarters of the organiza-
ton Whatever fund is donated to the
organization will go into actual relief
work and none will be used for admin
istrative purposes.
President Coolidge asked that con-
tributions in response to his appeal be
made through the Rec Cross head
quarters here or through local Red
Cross chapters. Many of these chapters
already have relief workers on the
scene or on the way, and national head
quarters has ordered it's experts to the
scene. coast guard fleet was sent to
Florida waters to participate in the
rescue work.

ALL DIRECTORS
OF BLUES WILL
TONIGHT

A special meeting of the board Of di-
rectors of the Douglas baseball club
has been called for this evening at s
O'Clock at the chamber of commerce.
William Alberts, president of the
club, states that several matters of the
utmost Importance must be taken care
of Immediately and requests that every
member of the board OF directors at
tend.
While neither Alberts nor Tom
Glenn, manager {of tne cIup, would af-
firm or deny the report, it was rumored
Monday that several of the players of
the Douglas team plan to Immediately
file suit against the directors of the
club unless they are at once paid the
salaries whcih are now long past due.
The shortage which the club faced
at the close of the Copper league
schedule was between $500 and $4,000.
Several plans are being worked out by
means of which it is hoped that money
can be raised to settle the players
claims, but none of the}plans will pro-
duce any revenue for at least several
weeks, and the players demand imme
diate sttlment.
That the players are really intending
to take their claims to court seemed
probable Monday when Bunny Lindsay
called at the office of Tom Glenn and
when he was told that no money was
available with which to settle the SAL
ary accounts, asked for list contain
ing names of the club directors.
Tom Glenn and William Alberts, Who
practically held the reins of the club
alone during the closing weeks of the
local baseball season, are more than
anxious to settle with the players, but
do not feel that they should have to
paw the players salaries out of their
personal funds, as they have already
advanced the club money of their own
which has not been repaid.
Buck Weaver before his departure
for Chicago, donated the club nearly
$500 of his salary just to help thS-Tause
along, knowing the club was in serious
financial difficulties. Several of the
players who have taken employment iii
or near Douglas are perfectly willing
to wait for their money, but the re-
mainder who wish to leave Immediately
