‘GOLD CLAUSE’ CASE IS ORDERED TRIED Corporation of Principality of Liechtenstein and U. S. Rail- road Involved. 87 the Associated Press. NEW YORK, January 1.—Supreme Court Justice Louis A. Valente yester- day ordered trial of aa action brought by Anglo-Continental, A. G., & cor- poration of the principality of Liecht- enstein, against the Southern Pacific Oo. revoiving around the joint “gold clause” resolution adopted by the last Congress. Anglo-Continental sought & sum- mary judgment to force the Southern | Pacific Cc., a Kentucky corporation, to pay in Holland gold Dutch guilders on the coupons of the Southern Pacific’'s bonds. In denying the petition and order- ing a trial Justice Valente said that the answer of the Southern Pacific claimed the bonds in suit are owned by & New York corporation and that the coupons in suit were sold a few days before the date of their maturity | to the plaintiff to evade provisions of the joint resolution of Congress. “It is my opinion,” the court con- tinued, “that the defendant is entiiled to a trial of the issue of whether the transfer of the coupons to this plain- tiff was bona fide or with intent to evade the effects of the joint resolu- | tion as interpreted by the appeliate division.” £ .

BY the Associated Press. FORT HALL, Idaho, January 1.— Tom toms boomed the old year out and the new year in last night in a mixture of ancient tribal cusior. and white man’s merrymaking at the Fort Hall Indian Reservation. Hundreds of Shoshones and Ban- nocks gathered in their buffalo lodge of logs and danced through the night to beating drums and weird orchestral chants, The dances are centuries old but the New Year spirit dated only from he coming of missionaries 100 years Tinsel decorated the walls—in strange contrast to the beaded and feathered braves. The festivities climaxed seven days of feasting and dancing which began Christmas. ——— Judge's Strategy Fails. 108 ANGELES ().—In Municipal | Court Miss Margaret Brown claimed a wire-haired fox terrier was her Bosko.
