WILBUR GETS EVEN
BREAK IN 4 CASES
Two Findings Under War
Minerals Relief Act Upheld,
Two Reversed.

Ray Lyman Wilbur, Secretary of the
Interior, got a $3.50 break in the action
of the District of Columbia Court of
Appeals in four cases in which he had
construed the provisions of the war
minerals relief act. All four decisions
were rendered by Alfred A. Wheat,
chief Justice of the District Supreme
Court, who sat as a member of the ap-
pelate tribunal.
Wilburs view was sustained in the
case of the Crimora Manganese Corpo-
ration of Crimora, Va, and the United
Chemical and Industrial Companies and
on the application of Edward z. Mar
shall of Pennsylvania. The Secretary
lost in the cases of the Chestatee Py-
rites 81 Chemical Co. of Fulton County,
Va. and of the Vindicator Consolidated
Gold Mining Co. of Denver, Colo.
In the Crimora case the court upholds
the finding of the Secretary that the
company sustained a loss of $9l.083.37,
which was paid, and not the sum OF
more than 81 100000 asserted by the
chemical company which had bought
controlling interest in the Crimora Co.
Edward E. Marshall's claim for reim-
bursement for S285, 941.93 spent in the
purchase of manganese ore in Cuba and
of S32,33537 loaned to miners in Cuba.

by the act and upheld action Of Wilbur
in rejecting the claims.
The appellate court reversed the Sec
retary's denial of interest paid by the
Chestate PyriteS Co. on money Dor
rowed to carry on its activities, and
held it to be allowable under the act.
It also held that loss sustained on the
purchase of real estate by the Vindi-
Gator Co. was allowable even though the
company retained title to the property,
remarking that it had heard of property
being retained that was so undesirable
that it could not be given away.

military reservation. This bill au-
thorizes the Federal Government,
through the Bridge Commission, to
build approximately two miles of the
road from that point to the Memorial
Bridge, in accordance with plan
already on file with the Bridge Com
mission. The bill provides that upon
its passage there would be turned over
to the Federal Government the title
to certain lands now held in trust for
the State of Virginia by the National
Boulevard Association.
Officers from the War Department
suggested an amendment under which
some additional land could be acquired
for Fort Myer to Offset strip of the
reservation that will be taken by the
highway. Senator Swanson suggested
that this could be handled subsequent
ly by separate legislation.

for the sale Of the more desirable
OF 1880 warrants. both city and
school board. held In the city's ag-
gregate Of funds.
Work on Details
Legal technicalities were involved,
including the question of the ef-
feet OF the rising rates Of interest
from 2 ID to 4 per cent to 6 per
cent. Chapman and Cutler, num-
cipal bond experts, ruled Thursday
that the rates could be raised with

securities. Their opinion applied to
the sale OF sufficient warrants to
meet the board OF education pay
rolls for two months.

yesterday on legal details of the
plan to obtain $1,000, 900 needed for
teachers salaries.
