Sept. 17th to Oct. Is
Frankfort Ky., Sept. 13. Land
frauds Involving 9,000 acres of land
have been under investigation by the
Franklin county grand jury, It was
learned here today. The Jury reported
this afternoon and It Is reported to
have roturned an Indictment against
a former state employee charging with
falsifying a public record.
The land in question is In three
tracts, one of 6,000 acres, one of 2,600
acres and the other of 500. It is lo
cated on what is known as the Tellico
tract, which includes parts of Tonnes
I see and Kentucky. The tract In ques
tlon Is located south of Walker's line
and owing to tho straightening of
Kentucky-Tennessee boundary In 1R30
prior to which tlnio it was in Ken
tucky, patents are filed In the Frank
fort land office.
The Knox county grand Jury also Is
said to have been Investigating the
tract There is a civil suit on file In
Whitley county.
According to Information received
here from Whitley county, It Is alleged
that three forged surveys of the Innd
were filed In the surveyor's office In
Knox county and patents secured in
Frankfort. Three other fraudulent
surveys are alleged to have been filed
but patelnta not secured.
The alleged fraud was discovered, it
waa said, when J. G. Webb, a Corbin
Jeweler, produced the fraudulent pnt-
enta and surveys and proposed to file
them as evidence of his title to a par-
tlon of a tract of 16,000 acres to which
F. J. Lemoyne, of Baltimore ,and Wil
liam B. McIIvalnc, of Chicago, held a
patent Issued by tho Kentucky land
office In 1851 and which was Bhown to
be fraudulent
Two years ago Lemoyne and Mc.ll
vaine filed eult In Huntsvllle, Tenn.,
to quiet titled to a small strip of land
claimed by Lemoyne and Mcllvalne on
three different title papers. The first
was a deed which the party alleged to
have made It swjjre was fraudulent
Then a patent for 600 acres alleged to
have been Issued by Tennesso In 1818
was recorded. This was thrown out of
court and a deed purporting to have
been given by John V. Lemoyne was
Issued, but this, too, was thorwn out
After these papers were thrown out
Webb Is alleged to have produced the
fraudulent patents from Kentucky and
proposed to file them In evidence. In
vestigatlon by H. C. Glllls, of Wll
llamsburg, for the Lemoyne Interests
la said to have disclosed the alleged
fraud.

craft men In Hitler Battle Over Set.
tlcmcnt of Strike on Some
Railroads.
Chicago, Sept 13. The shopcrafts'
policy committee was to vote on the
Baltimoro peace proposal today.
Bert M. Jewell and other leaders
were optimistic that peace would re
sult from the vote.
Other delegates Insisted that the
ranks of the "die-hard" shopmen were
standing firm.
That a bitter fight was in progress
behind the doors of the council chain'
Der was reveaioa Dy unguarded re
marks of delegates going In or out
One delegate still heated from the
argument, asserted: "We will be here
for three days. Only 61 roads have
agreed to these terms. This is not
enough." '
I guess we will vote peace, but we
will know we have had a fleht when
we get It," a Jewell delegate com
mented.
The argument which Is said to have
swung a contingent of the "die hards"
over to the agreement Is that with
peace made on 51 roads the opening
wedge for a national agreement will
be driven.
Strikers who return to work will
ontnbute two days' pay a month to
the strike fund for those who remain
out.
Daniel Willard, president of the B
& O., was reported today to be at
tempting to line up other roads before
the strike vote Is taken.
i no oniy opposition to the peace
plan is from workers on roads not
'linod up."
These workers point out that they
" ill bo forced to fight a losing battle,
and insist that the agreement be made
with ail roads or none.
