SUPREME COURT DECIDES
Quashing- of Indictments) Against
Monday and Khlels for Alleged.
Frauds Made Invalid by Jus
tices' Tnanlmoos Opinion.
WASHINGTON'. Dec. 4. The Supreme
Court of the United States today opened
the way for the Federal Government
to prosecute coal land frauds in Alaska
by holding that the general coal land
ls.ws.of the United States, which for
bid persons or associations from mak
ing more than one entry, apply to the
unsurveyed coal regions of Alaska.
The Immediate result of this holding
was the reversal of the action of the
United States Circuit Court for West
ern Washington in quashing as invalid
the Indictments against Charles K.
Munday and Archie W. Shields, on
t. a. pnnanlrarv tn flefrAnff lh
I Cnvprnment out ot coal lands In
Alaska valued at $10,000,000. The way
Is now opened for their trial on this
charge.
Court Is Vaaalmotts.
Justice Lurton gave the unanimous
opinion of the court. He considered
the argument ot the defendants that
the act of Congress In 1904 superseded
the general laws, so far as the un
surveyed lands of Alaska were con
cerned. .
"There occurs to us no reason for
assuming that Congress Intended to
abandon the policy of keeping open the
right of every citizen to enter one
tract and no more of the unsurveyed
coal lands of Alaska, thut would not
lead also to the abandonment of the
policy as respects coal lands which had
been surveyed." said the court. "An
Intention to depart from a uniform
policy so long enforced In regard to
the coal land should not be Imputed
to Congress unless the act of 1904 ad
mits of no other construction."
I'Bsorreyed Laad Not Excepted.
Justice Lurton then proceeded to
show that the act of 1904 did admit of
another construction, namely, to ex
tend the general coal land entry laws,
which were then applicable only to
surveyed lands, to unsurveyed lands.
"The legislation, read in the light
of the situation, and of the uniform
policy which had so long prevailed,"
Justice Lurton concluded, "of prohibit
ing more than one entry to one per
son, makes it plain that Congress did
not Intend to except the unsurveyed
coal lands of Alaska from the opera
tion of the restrictions which attached
to the sale of the surveyed coal lands
tn Alaska and elsewhere."

each for filing on coal claims. On sec
ond thought, however, the company did
not press these findings, but interested
stockholders of the Alaska Develop
ment Company and their friends In the
scheme, and procured them to make
locations in their own names.

SEATTLE, Dec. 4. According to land

cision puts an end forever to the con

ants to Alaska coal lands.
Today's decision sustains that of
United States District Judge Frank
Rudkin In the Doughten case, rendered

Munday and Archie Shiels with con
spiracy to defraud the United States of
the use and possession of certain coal
lands in the Bering . River district
known as the Stracey group.
The Stracey claims are situated near
the Cunningham lands and are said to
be more valuable. These lands are the
