CABINET MAKERS ARE j
NOW WORKING OVERTIME
I
Cabinet makers are busy conjur
ing with names of those who will
shared with Wilson in shaping the
policy of the next administration, ac
cording to a Washington dispatch.
Necessarily, this Is purely gossip,
but the cabinet builders are none the
less active in pointing out the per
sons and the elements available as
cabinet material.
One of the available elements em
braces those who were conspicuous
party figures at the Baltimore conven
tion, including Speaker Clark. Chair
man (Jndorwood, of the? ways and
means committee; William Jennings
Bryan, Gov. Foss, of .Massachusetts;
Gov. Harmon, of Ohio, and others.
It is generally assumed, however,
that Speaker Clark and Chairman Un
derwood would prefer to continue
their work In congress, especially
now that the legislative program on
the tariff and other questions is likely
to meet with fewer obstacles.
As to .Mr. Brown, one of the Demo
cratic senators was quoted during the
Democratic convention as definitely
assigning Mr. Bryan to a cabinet
place in case of Wilson's election,
though the latter stated that no con
sUlt-ration had boon given to the per
sonnel of the cabinet. Noao the less,
speculation Is active as to whether
the NobruBknn will have a portfolio.
Another element from which cab
inet material is being suggested em
braces those who hnve been promi
nently idontlfled with the Wilson
campaign, notably Chairman Mc
Combs, of the Democratic national
committee; Representatives Burleson
and Henry, of Texas; Representatives
Pnlmor, of Pennsylvania; Assistant
Chairman McAdoo and others who
bore the brunt of the conflict at Bal
timore and during the campaign.
Still another uvailnblo element Is
made up of prominent party figures
In the various states who were not
conspicuously Identified with the re
cent national committee, while an
other includes some of the veterans
of the last Democratic administra
tion.
I Out side of these UBiial elements
from which cabinets can be construct
ed, many foresee the entry of a con
siderable new clement in public af
fairs, made up of men like Mr. Wil
son, who havo been Identified with
collegiate educational and economic
questions.
INTERESTING LAND
CASE FROM KODIAK
A most interesting land case is:
now before the department for final |
adjudication. The question at issue
is whether the law becomes retronc-:
tive under certain circumstances and
the point to be determined involves
title to certainlnnds at Kodlak.
The Alaska Commercial Company
took possession of the lauds in ques
tion in 1SS5 and while still in poss
ession during the year 1009 filed sol
diers additional homestead script on
the land and made application for;
patent.
While this application was pend-;
ing an order was issued by the De
partment of Agriculture for the con- i
struction of an experimental station
in Alaska. Under this order Prof.
C.eorgeson went out and surveyed a,
tract of land for this purpose, includ
ing' In the survey the land in contro
versy. Prof. Gcorgeson took poss
ession of the land and established
the station.
The Alaska Commercial Company
filed a protest at the time and the
matter came on for a hearing before
Fred Dennett, the Commissioner of!
the General Land Office. Dennett;
rendered a decision In favor of the
government and an appeal was ta
ken to the Secretary of the Interior.
First Assistant Secreary of the In
terior Pierce affirmed the findings
of Commissioner Dennett. A petition
was then filed asking for a re-hear
ing on the cause. In June the case
was again heard by First Assistant
Secretary of the Interior Samuel
Adams.
Adams reversed the decision of
both Dennett and Pierce, holding
that under the act of May 17. 1884
(provldihg that Indians and other
persons In possession of lands of the
public domain on that date should
not be disturbed in that possession);
and that if the Alaska Commercial
Company had held possession since
prior to May 17. 18S4. they had a
vested right and were entitled to
patent under the application. In mak
ing this decision Adams set Novem
ber 18, (yesterday) as the date of
hearing.
It is interesting to note that Sec- <
retary Adams based his decision up- J
on the cases cited by Z. R. Cheney in <
his brief namely: "Young vs. Gold- ?
stein," "Sutter vs. Hcckman," and ]
"Goddard and Brooks' application for
patent for Sitka Hot Springs."
The government produced its evi
dence before the United States court
commissioner at Kodiak (mention of
which was made in the Empire) on
October IS last.
Yesterday upon the application of
the Alaska Commercial Company be
fore the local land office the hear
ing was postponed to January 18, for
the purpose of summoning witnesses
from Kodiak.
A rather disconcerting feature in
the case is that a new element en
tered Into the controversy last June,
a higher court even than the United
States supreme court stepped in aB
intervenor and decreed that both par
ties at suit should be dispossesed of
the land in qucsion.
On June G old Katmal vomited
forth about two feet of ashes over
the tract, killing off all of the nice
green stuff of Prof. Georgeson and
compelling him to move his nice Gal
loway cattle to other parts, and at the
same time rendered the place prac
tically of no value to the Alaska
Commercial Company. The only real
interest at stake is the point of law
involved.
CASEY JUNIOR IS
GOING OUTSIDE.
\V. W. Casey, Jr.. who Is employed
during his college vacations at the
Treadwell cyanide plant was in Ju
neau over Sunday.
It Is .Mr. Casey's intention to re
