FLORIDA LAND CASE
ISLOST BY WORK
District Court of Appeals Up-
holes Right of Developers
to Realty.

The effort Of the United States Gov
ernment to reclaim valuable water
front property in Florida following
the boom in real estate values there,
was thwarted today when the District
Court of Appeals. in an opinion OF
Justice Van OrsdeI, sustained the
right of the Beachland Development
Co. and Winchester Fitch of Florida
TO strip of land lying along the In
dian River in that State.
The court held that the adjoining
owner takes the land with the mean
derings of the river and that the Gov
and may not make a subsequent sur
vey just because the value of the land
has increased.
Injunction Is Granted.
The plaintiffs brought suit against
Hubert Work, Secretary of the In
terror, and William Spry, commits
sioner of the General Land Office, for
an injunction to prevent a proposed
resurvey Of the property. The Dis
trict Supreme Court granted the
injunction and the officials appealed.
In sustaining the decision Of the
lower court, Justice Van OrSdel SAYS:
1T is the contention of the Secretary
that he is vested with sole authority
to ascertain and determine what con-
sttutes public lands, what have been
surveyed, what have been disposed of
what remain to be disposed of and
what are reserved Unquestionably
he possesses this authority where the
determination and investigation relate
to public lands Of the United States,
but in the matter Of resurveys and
the correction of public land surveys.
this authority is subject to limitations.
Land Values Increase.
''Where the United States has al
ready conveyed lands. as in the pres
ent case. the Secretary is without
jurisdiction to iuteImeddle with them
in the form of a second survey"
AT the time of the original entry on
the land in question il was selling for
$1.25 an acre. but after the Beach
land Development Co. located a town
site near the property, its value I'm
creased TO many thousands OF dollars.
it is reported. The supervisor of sur
Veys and the commissioner of the Cen
eral Land Office reported against the
proposed resurvey, but SECRETARY
Work directed that it be made on the
ground that the title to such valuable
property should not pass until sur
veyed and disposed of under some ap.
propriate public land law.

SENTENCE
OF FATHER UPHELD
Appeals Court Rules Miller Must
Serve Term for Effort to
Assault Daughter.

Benjamin Miller, formerly employed
as watchman at Camp Meigs, must
serve 10 years in the penitentiary for
an attempted criminal assault on his
13-year-old daughter in August, 1925.
The District Court of Appeals, in an
opinion by Justice Robb, today sus-
tanned the conviction and sentence of
Miller.
Counsel for the accused claimed that
as the indictment charged the alleged
onense as of July 3 and the testimony
disclosed it was August Is, the &C.
cused should have been acquitted. The
lower court refused so to instruct the
jury and this action Is approved by
the appellate tribunal.
Although co lSeI in the appellate
court sought charge other errors
committed dU hg the trial and in the
charge Of the court, which were not
raised at the time, Justice Robb de-
clares the court, in view of the cir
cumstances of the case is not called
on to exercise it's discretion to con.
slider such errors. The conviction and
sentence is affirmed.
Assistant United States Attorney
Neudecker argued the case for the
Government in the appellate court.

Gloom prevailed IN the sick room

worse was obvious to the workers
who have labored night and day to
keep the breath OF life in the body of
the 18.year-old farmer in the hope
that by some miracle of nature or
science his lungs would again begin
their normal functions. Boothe re-
tanned his indomitable courage.
The youth had fair appetite, but
has lost his former keen desire for
smoking. He has declined the last
few cigarettes offered him. Mild
stmiulants are being administered and
the boys complaints of being chilly
are being met with applications of
