Millions Involved In
Concerted Attack
On State Law

AUSTIN. Texas, March 1s.-OF-
with many-sided arguments In other
important similar litigation behind
il. the supreme court Monday began
hearing counsel's contentious I'm the
concerted attack on the mineral re-
linquishment act. affecting the valu-
able property rights Of hundreds Of
state land owners and lease holders.
The court last week finished hear
ing submission Of cases involving the
asserted right Of county commission
ers to lease county school lands for
mineral purposes and validity OF NIL
statutes governing the lease and sale
Of Texas university lands.
Seven suits for mandamus against
Land Commissioner u. RI. Robson
were up for its consideration Mon
day. d. J. Mcdaniel. ]. K. Bowen, p
l.. Buvens. O. w. Greene and Joe s.
sheldon brought them In an attempt
co obtain mineral prospecting per-
mits on the claim that the 1919 act,
which relinquishes to purchasers Of
state lands fifteen-sixteenths of the
mineral rights found therein.
Attorney General Claude Pollard
joined the REALTORS in attacking the
statute. under the direction Of which
millions Of dollars worth Of oil and
gas rights have gone tc land owners
and drilling corporations. The gist
of the assault on the measure Is that
it gives away state property (min-
erals) for no valuable consideration.
IN prior 10 its passage the state re-
served all mineral rights on such
sales.
Commissioner Robson, defending
the act OF which he was uronscr, de-
clared that Chaos and Hnear civil
war" would be almost inevitable II

By the Associated Press.
MEXICO CITY, May 22.-Dwight W,
Morrow, United States Ambassador to
Mexico, announced yesterday that he
would leave Saturday morning for the
United States with his family. Imme-
iiately there was much speculation as
to the effect which his trip may have
upon the two outstanding Mexican
problems-the religious controversy
with the Roman Catholic Church and
the pending agreement between the
Mexican government and the interna-
tional committee of bankers at New
York on the Mexican foreign debt.
The announced purpose OF the trip,
which is 10 keep the Ambassador and
his family in the United States for a
month, is the opportunity to report per-
sonally to Secretary of State Kellogg,
to attend the graduation of his daugh-
ter Anne from Smith College. and to
spend the balance of his time at North
Haven, Me.
1t is naturally expected that while hs
is in Washington the Ambassador will
find opportunity to confer with his AM
herst claSSmate, President Coolidge. and
to give the latter first-hand informa-
ton on various confidential aspects OF
the Mexican situation. He will be in
position to carry to the White House
confidential messages from President
Gales.
Mr.. Morrow also will take to the
United States abundant information on
nnances, He has maintained a close
personal contact with Senor Monies de
Oca, controller general of Mexico.

affirmative. In spite of this Hillman
forgot to complete the getting of his
coat and stayed OH.
Beckernlan, on the other hand, was
insolent, as usual. He frankly de-
clared that he is accustomed to ieers
and "didn't give a damn about it. The
tailors would be compelled to work
piece work whether they liked it or
not"
Afterwards the local officialdom,
who few short weeks ago styled
themselves as progressives, also
spoke in favor of piece work, with
the single exception of Pollack. the
resolution of endorsement was put to
a vote. In spite of the repeated or
ders for a recount, made and taken
by the chairman, the vote remained
obviously to l in favor of rejection
of Beckerman's action, but the chair
man refused to announce the results
of the count.

Tor prison relief which always comes
handy for the many little articles not
furnished by the state we wish to
extend our thanks and appreciation to
the members of the I. L. D. for their
efforts in the campaign to free the
Centralia victims.
We expect great things to come
from such an organization and in fact
we are now a bit optimistic of gain
ing our freedom because of it's fight
N our behalf. These eight and one
half years haven't been short ones
o us, locked away for crime which
was committed against US. Already
we have seen the fine work done by
the Seattle local of the l. L. D. Thru
this action and others we are prom
sed that our case will be reviewed
oy the board of parole which will
meet next month. But we don't put
much faith in such as yet for we have
been viewed and reviewed by them be-
lore. So we ask your united strength
IN this humanitarian issue to release
