 land, the Supreme Court of the United States on May 21, 1917, affirmed 

 the decision of the court of appeals for the District of Columbia, and

 1095), applied to Government protests or contests, and that in order 

 for a protest or contest to defeat the confirmatory effect of the proviso 

 it must be a proceeding sufficient in itself to place the entryman on his 

 defense and to require of him a showing of material fact when served 

 with a notice thereof, affirming the conclusion in the Jacob A. Harris 

 case (42 L. D., 611).
