Federal Court Decides Case
Involving Property Valued
at $10,000,000,
BIG COMPANIES AFFECTED
Decision Holds That Defendant Mnrt
Sedmbtxrne Oovarnment for Oil
Taken Since Dispute.
Fan Francisco. July 29. (P. X. S )
The government today won under
the Taft oil lands withdrawal order,
its suit for the recovery of a quarter
section oa developed oil land in Kern
county, valued at more than $10,000.
001, in a decision handed down by
1'nited States District Judge Benja
min y. Bledsoe.
The decision was rendered in the
particular case known as the Mc
Cutchen group, the defendants being
H J. McCutchen, and 20 other defend
ants, among them the Standard Oil
company, the General Petroleum com
pany, tiie l'nion Oil and other large
corporations.
JudK? Bledsoe's decision Is vry
sweeping in character. It holds that
the government not only has sole
ownership of this land, but that tho
defendants holding the property must
reimburse the government for the oil
taken off since the dispute arose.
Judge Bledsoe holds that the de
fendants did not diligently prosecute
their development work on the land to
the point where it constituted for them
a claim on the property.
lie appointed a master in chancery
I to take charge of the government's
I interests in the land, and place a value
j on the indemnity to w hich the govern
ment is entitled
In this action the government was
represented by Frank Hall and E. J.
Justice, special prosecutors.
Nearly a dozen othe- suits of the
same character are pending, but this
decision does not materially affect t.ie
others, since each must he tried on its
own merits, the point being the amount
of development work done by the
claimants on each piece of property.
In this quarter section of land in
volved, ahout $1,000,000 was expended
on the development by the oil com
panies, the trial showed.

March 12 Miles, Take City.
An evidence of the precipitate char
acter of the Austrian retirement oe-
tore the Russian offensive is given In
the fact that on Thursday the Rus
sians were lz miles rrom tsroay anu
on Saturday ocupation of the town was
announced.
Petrograd eagerly awaited full word
today of the details of Brody's invest
ment. It was regarded as certain that
a considerable quantity of booty fell
into the hands of the city's con
querors, since Prody had been the Aus
trian field base and announcement of
capture of a large number of prison
ers was likewise expected. From
Brody on, it was pointed out here to
day, the Russian army of invasion into
Gaiicia will have the advantage of a
railroad in the movement against
Lemberg. Every foot of advance reg
istered along the railroad to Kovel
menaces anew the Teuton positions at
Kovel.
Gaiicia How Invaded.
Brody lies three and three quarter
miles from the Galician frontier. The
city has been In Austrian hands since
September 1. 1915, when it was cap
tured in Field Marshal von Macken
sen's great drive, which carried his
troops more than 30 miles westward
beyond Brody.
Simultaneously with the success at
Brody, which makes the long expected
new Russian invasion of northeastern,
Gaiicia an accomplished fact, the Rus
sian army operating further north, to
the west of the Volhyntan fortrees of
Lutsk, broke through the whole first
line of the Teutons, driving the de
fenders into a precipitate fligat and
taking 9050 prisoners, including SO of
ficers, among whom are two generals
and two regimental commanders, ac
cording to the Petrograd statement.
The Austrian official statement is
silent on this area of fighting: but.
summing: uo the situation in Volhynia.
says that since the middle of July the
Russians have taken only 31 quarter
miles of Austrian front positions,
"bought with Incessant attacks at
enormous sacrifices."
The fate of Brody's garrison Is not
known. It is believed that the Aus
trlans had sufficient time to withdraw
the bulk of the city's defenders. The
Russian statement. Issued before the
capture was known, said explosions
were heard at Brody. fires ' ere ob

Germans War Enveloped.
The defense of the Leszniof f-Brody
road became practically untenable a
week ago when the Russians, after
forcing the Styr-Lipa confluence, ad-
vanced en masse beyond the town of
Berestechk where the Austro-Hun-
garians were forced to yield to the
Muscovite pressure and fall back upon
the door or isroay. A comparatively
small Russian army has been standing
virtually at the gates of Brody after
the fall of Radisivloff, five miles to
the northwest of the Galician city,
more than a month ago and has been
marking time, holding its line against
all Austrian counter attacks

WILSON'S MOVE
ON CHILD LABOR
BILL ASTOUNDS
(Continued From Page One.)
so late as to hold an impossible posi
tion on the calendar.
Speaker Clark sent It to the com
mittee on labor. It is known that he
! w-as acquainted with the situation, and
! W hile all that was' said to hirn on the
subject of reference is not known, it
can be said to his credit that the bill
was sent to a friendly commitee.
Escapes Tangle of Kale.
The second danger point came in
having the bill reported to the house
at a time when it could be given con
sideration. The rules of the house are
complicated and bewildering to lay-
i "'en, as wen as to a large proportion
of the members. It would require
' much technicality to explain the
BtandinK f tne measure at the time
u was reportea. dui congressman
: Keating, who introduced and reported
u belleves that had the report been
i deIayed 48 hours- the committee on
. la-bor would have lost the opportunity
to bring It up for passage.
' This fact may explain why there
i was published In some newspapers at
that time a criticism of "rushing" the
bill through the house. As a matter
I of fact, full hearings were given, it
i was debated for three successive Wed
j nesdays. and a large number of amend
i ments were proposed and voted on.
1 The only foundation for such a charge
was that the report had to be has
, tened bfore the minority of the rom-
mittee had time to have its objections
i printed.
Changes Hade by Senators.
I Th; senate committee rewrote the
I bill. The chief change was to fix the
penalty upon the producer, manufac
turer or dealer in th state of origin,
; Instead of prohibiting the Interstate
transportation of 'goods produced by
' the proscribed methods of labor,
j Mr. Keating does not believe this
' change is vital. The bill, as he first
I introduced itr resembled more t.ie form
of the present senate bill than the
measure finally passed by the house
some friends of child labor legislation
believe the house bill best, others
champion the senate bill. Either one,
Mr. Keating says, will probably ac
complish the result in view, so he is
not particular which form prevails.
DIRECTOR OF BUREAU
OF MINES COMING TO
PACIFIC COAST SOON
Washington. July 29. Representa
tive Hawley says he will follriw up
his request for the consideration of
Grants Pass.. Or., as the location for
the northwest mining experiment sta
tion bv askina that Director Van H.
Manning of the bureau of mines pay
visit to that locality on hi. inspection
trm to tne wei.
Some time ago. Mr. Hawley states,
he had an agreement that Grants Pass
was
to be included m tne trip, out
Just before leaving Mr. Manning stated
he could not remember any application
from Oregon. Upon being informed of
this. Mr. Hawley has taken steps to
have the mining country of southern
Oregon looked over by the mining dl-
, rector on his present tcip.
Mr. Manning makes the Journey for
1 the purpose of reporting to the secre
! tary of the Interior as to the proper
location for a station in the nortn
l western states.
It is likely that such a visit will be
of value In securing the ultimate se
lection of a site in Oregon, as the
: three stations to be located this year
form only the first installment. Con
1 press has authorized 10 such stations,
' at a cost of $25,000 each, but only
three have been appropriated for, the
plan being to'distribute the construc
j tlon over a period of three or four
i years-
Secretary Lane has announced that
two of the three stations first to be
constructed will be at Tucson. Aria..
and Fairbanks, Alaska. The third will
be in the Pacific northwest. There are
so many urgent candidates that per
sonal investigation by the head of the
bureau was decided on.
Seattle ia making a drive for the
station, but has several rivals In
Washington. The other leading candi
dates are believed to be Spokane,
Butte, Mont., and Moscow. Idaho.
The same act providing for the new
experiment stations authorised the lo
cation of seven mining safety stations.
Not more than three of these, al?o.
may be established in any one year,
and the cost of the three chosen this
year will aggregate $101,500 The
eafety stations for this year have
been awarded to Butte. Mont-, Reno.
Nev., and Raton. N. M.
The purpose of all the stations Is to
make investigations toward improved
conditions in the mining, quarrying,
metallurgical and other mining indus
tries, safeguarding the life of em
ployes, preventing unnecessary waste
and assisting in the advancement of
mining.

ator Lane urging him not to vote for
the resolution pending in congress to

The protest of the two organisations
are lengthy and are identical in lan
