Supreme Court narrows land patent challenges in $700 million oil lands case
Washington date: Transcontinental railways win title to about 700 million dollars in western oil land after the Supreme Court voids patent clauses that revert to the government if minerals are found.

The Kentucky tobacco pool law is struck down as unconstitutional.
