COURT TO TEST
new LAND BILL
Challenge To Come In Trial
OF Suit Against Bradford
And 500 Others
By RAYMOND BROOKS

AUSTIN, March 23.-The Small
West Texas land bill will be given
an early court test of its validity
and will be attacked by the stats
itself.
1t will be challenged by the at
torney general in trial of the suit
already filed against c.. w. Brad
ford and 500 others, involving land
titles.
The legislature passed this bill
over Gov. Moody'S veto. after both
Moody and Attorney General
Claude Pollard had declared it I'M
constitutional.
General Pollard said if it were
upheld by the courts. it would
throw the Bradford land title suit
out Of court and prevent simila.
future suits for recovery of state
lands.
That the new law will be chal-
lenged in the courts was disclosed
by Assistant Attorney General C
w. Trueheart, who is in charge OF
the states case in the Bradford
suit.
1--WE regard it just one more
hurdle to climb" Mr.. Trueheart
said.
I'VE don't believe in throwing up
our hands and quitting. We aren't
going to do that now. We are 60
ing ahead, until we meet up with
the decision Of a court on this
question"
The land bill undertakes to val
idate titles Of claimants to land in
the beds of streams where original
survey lines were run through the
streams, and much of the land af-
fected is in legally navigable''
streams which are dry part of the
time.

ally with the request Of the depart
ment that all alternate host fruit

I'VE were given the months ex-
tension in shipping season, which
proved of great value to us, on our
record of removing most of the al
ternate host fruit trees. and on the
promise Of removing the remain

peal to all those who still have al
ternate host fruit trees to help us
keep this promise, which has meant
so much to us.
II understand from talking with
committee members that there are

alternate host fruit trees on their
premises. We hope that these Of

trees, and set an example for those
who still have not complied with the
request of the committee"

now must be sent to Boston for causing an extra ex- pense of more than $32,000 yearly and diverting to that city since 1924 more than S1,000,O00, which would have been spent here had facilities been available.
 American shipping interests have expressed willingness to use such facilities, pointing out that under the federal customs law their ves- sells must pay 50 per cent duty on repairs made in foreign ports.
 Although foreign ships generally desire to overhaul in their home ports, it is believed the work up- on occasion would be done here.
 Longer piers have been needed for some time, but difficulty is en- countered in meeting this need because of opposition to narrow ing the river waterways on which they are located.
 Several shipping companies have been investigating the possibility of building new port on Long is- land.

FAIL IN AGREEMENT,
 KELLOGG PACT
In te rpretative Resolution Fight Continues
 Borah Hopeful

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. - T h e Kellogg peace treaty drifted on the waves of oratory yesterday as the Senate found itself unable to reach an agreement on the inter- pretative resolution on the pact which the foes of the treaty are prepared on a final drive for such a resolution.
 Hopes for an understanding which will pave the way to a vote before the end of the week is held by some of the leaders, but Senator Borah, sponsor of the bill, is prepared for finish fight. He is not worrying about a compro- mise since he is confident he has enough votes to ratify the treaty without reservation.
 However, a group of leaders who are anxious to get action this ses- sion on farm relief, as well as the pending cruiser bill, are bending every effort to end the treaty de- bate.

SHIPS OUTGROWINC
 W. Y. DOCK FACILITIES

NEW YORK, Jan. 10.-o m liners longer than the piers and too big for handling in any dry dock available in the harbor, are giving New York port interests something to worry about.
 Heretore the Leviathan, Olympic and one or two other giants of the sea alone provided problems of handling their bulk in a crowded harbor, but now. with the two new German liners due in the spring, a British thousand-footer under construction and building of other large ships planned, the situation has reached the point where added and greater facilities must be supplied.
 The port of New York Authority several times has appealed to the legislatures of New York and New Jersey for construction of a dry dock large enough to accommo- date any vessel entering the port and for more docking facilities, es- pecially on the New Jersey shore.
 The Leviathan and other vessels
