JUDGE CRITICIZES
ATT! GENERAL
Dallas, Tex., Feb. (V—Attorney
(ieneral Wickersham was criticis
ed today by United Stales Judge
.Meek, wlio said it was a new thing
lor Hie executive depar! menl of
I lie federal government to inter
vene between a court and men
who had been indicted as it did
in the ease of John D. Archbold,
II. <1. Fogler, Jr., and \V. C. Tan
gle. They were indicted in Judge
Meek's court on charges of vio
lating the Sherman anti-trust
law in alleged actions affecting
l he Magnolia Petroleum company.
M/r. Wickersham did not order the
arrest of Il e men on the Texas
warrants, because, he said, he did
not uphold such action.. When
ihe case was called in Judge
Meek’s court today, he commented
on Mr. Wickersham’s action. He
said he could not understand it,
although he had “all confidence
in the integrity of the executive
department,” and ordered new
warrants issued for the three.

Clayton, a negro editor of a vveek
I ly paper, who sued a restaurant
I for 815,000 damages because af
ter Ins had eaten a meal he was
nut. permitted to pay for it and
was asked not to eat there again,
went on the witness stand in the
trial of the suit yesterday.
Counsel for the defendant im
mediately objected to his testi
mony on the ground that Clayton
had been convicted of perjury in
Graham county, Kas?, in 1888, and
had served a term in the Kansas
state penitentiary. The court sus
tained the objection.
Clayton’s counsel said that
Clayton had been restored to citi
zenship by the governor of Kan
sas. The case was continued un
til March and the Kansas records
will be searched.
MOVES RANCK

Don Russell, a homesteader in the
Kittitas valley is angry, lie finds
that after homsteading for the
prescribed length of time 160
acres in the Kittitas country. Un
cle Sam has given him a patent to
the same number of acres in the
Pacific ocean. He has written in
emphatic- terms to the local land
office officials that he has no
manner of use for so much wa
ter. He will take no chance on
its containing oyster beds or hal
ibut banks. He wants to grow his
crops on dry land property irri
gated and he wants the land of
fice to “move his homestead back
where it was.”
“You had it all right one time,”
lie writes, “then you moved it. 1
want you to put it back where it
belongs.” The trouble arose ov
er the mistake of a clerk in Wash
ington in describing the tract as
so many degrees west instead of
east of the Williametle meridian.
