GOVERNMENT TO SEEK
LEASE CANCELATIONS
_
WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 1C.—
Cancelation of oil and gas prospect
ing leases grante dunder a construc
ing leases granted under a construc
general leasing act of 1922, apply
ing to Indian reservations establish
ed by executive order, is to be sought
by the department of justice. Mot;e
j than twenty such permits are in
j force, of which eighteen were grant
ed by Mr. Fall.
Opening the new phase of the oil
leasing situation, which is not con
nected with the naval reserve pro
ceedings, Attorney General Stone
has ordered the filing of a suit
against E. M. Morrison, the Mid
| West Oil company and the Southwest
I Oil company for cancelation of a
permit involving prospecting rights
to 2,560 acres in the Navajo Indian
reservation in Southern Utah, set
aside in 1S84 by order of President
Arthur.
The lease attacked was the one
which brought forth Mr. Fall’s cm
stvucfon of the action and if success
ful in the suit for its cancelation,
the department plans *o bring action
against those subsequently granted
in various Western localities.

DANGEROUS PRECEDENT
The Circuit Court holds that the
Juneau City Council had no right to
take money for the expenses of At
torney Robertson for a trip to Wash
ington to appear for a petition for
the division of the Territory. The
sum must be paid back to the city.
The practice of mnicipalities financ
ing agents for other than strictly
city business might prove rather
dangerous precedent, to say the least.

NEW YORK, Aug. 16—Male bath
ers, attired in extremely scanty
swimming suits on the beach at;
Coney Island, will be sent to jail;
after this ,Magistrate James J. Gold
en of the Coney Island court an
nounced, after hurling such a gar
ment into the face of Jacob Alexrod
of Brooklyn, as he stood before the
bench.
A’exrod was bothing at the foot j
of Stillwell avenue in a suit which
was alleged by patrolman of t’ j
Coney Island station to be inadequate
for street wear. They served him
with a summons charging disorderly
conduct. When the suit was exhibit- i
ed in court, Magistrate Golden, after
examining it, and throw'! T it into
Alexrod’s face and fining him $25
said:
“Men of your type who come to
our wonderful beach at Coney Island
and mix with women and children
:n a bathing suit of this kind, with
its narrow shoulder straps and low
cut neck, are nothing but show-offs
and beach-posers. There is nothing
anybody likes to see more than a
man or a woman in good-looking
bathing attire, but there’s only one
place for men like you, and that’s
the city prison.
“Unfortunately, you are the first
to b% arraigned here on such a
charge, and, like the others who are
brought in this week for a similar
offense, you will only be fined. Those
that are arraigned here next week
however, are going to be given jail
sentences.’’

! REMARKABLE NEW BLOOI)
DISCOVERIES ARE MADE
LONDON, Aug. 16.—Remarkable
and far-reaching discoveries about |
the human blood have been made |
as a result of recent researches, ac- j
j cording to scientific authorities.
It is stated that tests initiated
shortly after the World War have
conclusively proved that the human
race is divided into roughly, four
main blood groops, and that this dis
covery will have a very important
bearing on blood transfusion, in
operation which is becoming more
and more frequent in cases of dire
necessity.
Scientists also believe that the new
! discovery may throw fresh light on
j the ancestry of man, and will also
j possibly have some bearing on the
; proving or displaying of legitimacy.

the Kansas police utilities commis

Mr. Reed, who instituted the ap
plication for reduced rates in behalf
of Kansas and took the leading part
