THE DECISION IN
! FOX ISLAND CASE
I __ . _
ORGANIZING
I MILITIA IN
i PHILIPPINES
_
MANILA, April 10. — (Correspon
dence of the Associated Press) A
big drive is on here for men w ho w ill
offer themselves in any capacity to
the Philippines militia. The passage
by the United States Congress of the
i bill which would permit the President
to call into federal service a division
oL27,000 Filipinos, has put now activ
ity into the men at the head of the
Phillipine National Guard.
Flans have been laid for three train
ing camps lor officers to bo inaugur
ated to once while other plans are
:if<>ot for the enlistment of some P0,
• K>i> men needed to bring the Philip
i pine unit to its required strength. That
1 ihese men will be foithcoming, with
l(»u the necessity of conscription, all
i'lsular government officials believe.
Manuel Quezon, former resident
commissioner foi the Phillipines a*
Washington, now president o the
Philippine Semite, is the author oi the
insular bill which provide'5 for the or
ganization of the Philippine militia.
Hi* has h*'cn a moving spirit in the
Agitation for support of that body of
the Filipino pixople and has been de
livering a series ot stirring addressee
calling upon the Filipinos to rally to
( this organization and the support of
the United States.
There is a growing feeling here tha*
the Philippine unit will not bo used
on the European frant but most of
the leaders share Vr. Quo* on’s views
that the insular national guard should
be used in France.

Grade Cigar in the United States?
JS
By cable, from San Francisco re
ceived here yesterday, it was learned
J that the United States Circuit Court
of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit has
affirmed the decision of Judge Brown
in the case of Andrew Grosvold vs.
! F. K. Wholpley. L. L. James, Jr., of
this city represented Grosvold as
against J. Bindley Green, Donohoe &
Dimond and R. J. Harrison.
This case was tried before Judge
j Brown ir. the summer of 1916 at Val
dez, when judgment was tendered in
: favor of Grosvold a permanent injunc
i tion issuing from the Court rcstrain
! ing Wholpley or his agents, from tres
passing on Little Koniuji Island.
Wholpley was on Little Moniuji Isl
; and when the Department of Com
j lncrcc and I^abor called for bids for
| leasing of said island from the United
! States for a period of five years. Bids
were submitted to the Department by
I tin associate of Whclpley’s- and Mr.
Grosvold. The Department accepted
the hid of Grosvold. and issued to him
i a lease of this island from the United
J States for a period of five years.
Grosvold allowed Colwell, an om
' ployee and agent of Whelpley’s, cer
tain time out of his five year leasing
period in which to trap Whelploy’s
foxes already on said island and re
move all of Whelpley’a personal prop
erty. Subsequently, Colwell vacated
1 said island on September 1st, 1914, as
1 agreed. Grosvold then took posses
j sion and planted said island with blue
foxes. A shorttime thereafter* Whelp
ley went upon said island and trapped
foxes. This trespass was repeated
several times. Grosvold then brought
suit in the District Court for the Tcr
ritoiy of Alaska, praying for an in
junction to issue forever restraining
Whclpley or his agents from continu
ing this trespass. Judge Brown de
i ided in favor of Grosvold. issuing
said permanent injunction. Whclpley
took an appeal from this decision to
the United States Circuit Court of
Appeals, Ninth Circuit, sitting in San
F rend sco.
The case was argued in San Fran
cisco in the February 1918 term of the
Circuit Court, and supplementary'
briefs (by both sides) written in San
Francisco.
Whelpley based his claim to the isl
and on possessory rights, and claimed
that the lease issued to Grosvold was
void on the ground that the President
of the United States had no authority
to issue an Executive Order transfer
ring the jurisdiction over this anu
other islands to the westward from
the Department of the Treasury to the
Department of Commerce and Labor,
and, further, that the Department of
Commer « and Labor had no jurisdic
tion of the Department of the Inter
ior.
Grosvold contended to the contrary,
upholding the acts of the President of
the United States and the Department
of Commerce and Labor, and that his
lease to said island was valid. Gros
vold claimed tha- Littl? Koniuji isl
ands to the westward, was
reserved from entry - and set
apart from the public lands (on

the ground that) when the homestead
laws of the United States were extend
ed to Alaska in 1898, the Annette,
PrbilofT and all island leased or oecu- j
pied for the propagation of foxes were
excepted from the operation of the
homestead act, and, for this reason
that the Department of the Interior
had no authority or jurisdiction ovc>
this island. This island was leased to
Rudolph Neuman from 1896 to 1900 j
inclusive. Grosvold upheld the Do-;
partment of Commerce and Labor,
and contended that possessory rig.us
would not avail as against a reserva
tion of the United States.
At the trial in Valdez, Judge Brown
held Whelpley to be merely a tres
passer.
The Circuit Court of Appeals aflirm
ed Judge Brown's decision, according
to the cable received. The opii ion of
the Circuit Court will be received in
due course through the mail.
