Pythian Sisters Initiate
Washington, May IM. The su­
preme court unanimously affirm«<«i
today the dectaion of th«* ninth Unit-
ed States circuit court of ap|»*als in
cancelling five (iatents to Oregon
lands held by th«* Booth-Kelly Lum-
her Co.. lM*caum* of fraud in entry
In the decision th«* supreme court
said:
“The issue is purely on«* of fact
upon matters with regard to which
the circuit court seems tn hav«* lieen
prevented from coming to the same
conclusion a* th«* circuit cioirf of ap­
peals, rather by the pre«t»mpti*»n in
favor of the patents than by its be­
lief in the teatimonv for th«* de­
fense.”
Of the 14»Rants the court »aid:
“The IjiRauts were taken to in­
spect the land, so that they might
mak«- the ne«-«KMary affidavits, but
beyond that iipj»*ar to have known
nothing ami to have mad«* no inquir­
ies at any time. The conipanv |>aid
their expenmn all the bills, in
abort."
Th« deSMlSM is stjuarelv
against the comtiany.
The fraud allcg«*d by th«* govern­
ment was that Stephen. Alice. Ethel,
and Lucy IjiRaut and Edward Jor­
dan ha<l filed <>n claim» under th«*
timber and stone act for the purpose
of turning the land over to th«*
Booth-Kelly Lumlier Co. All expen-
ws of their entriea, th«* government
aver«*«!, were |>ai<l by th«* companv
and in addition they were each given
a bonus of BUM).
The four Li Hauls were relativ«-»
of R. A. Booth, who at that time
was manager of th«* Booth-Kelly
Lumber Co. All admit they had re
ceived the money, but Bo«ith claim­
ed he ha<l given th«* money to the
LaRauta to help them along. They
were in reduced circumstances
In making its decision the Unit«*d
Stat«-» circuit court of api>«*al» said
that Routh's statement that he ha*I
tiaid the money to assist his relatives
did not coincide with certain part»
of the evidence to an extent which
would justify it in sustaining Judge
Bean’s decision.
