Supreme Judges Want More salary.

At meeting of the justices of the
supreme court and judiciary commit
tees of the two branches of the state
legislature, the former intimated that
none of the bills at present pending in
the Legislature for the relief of the
court, would accomplish its purpose.
An increase in the number of justices
would make it more difficult to obtain
a unanimous opinion, and the increased
number of those who would take part
in the discussions, would rather retard
than expedite matters. The plan to
divide the court is unconstitutional,
as itwould practically establish two SUI
preme courts instead of one. Members
of the court suggested that the only
proper plan would be 10 increase the
salary of justices from $1,000 to 81, 500,
and compel them TO reside at Lansing.
With all of the justices there at all
times, fully one-third more business
could be transacted and important in
terests, now frequently jeopardized by
waiting for a regular session of court,
could be promptly attended TO.

10 MINERS FATAL FALL.
A CAGE WITH 10 MEN DROPS
OVER 5000 FEET.

the bottom OF the shaft-Defective
Indicator the Cause.

Ten miners were precipitated over
1000 feet TO the bottom of the per-
pendicular shaft at the Calumet and
Hecla mine at Houghton and all met
an instant and horrible dMth. The
miners were coming up to &nner and
the engineer thought he had $50 feet
farther to hoist the cage and pulled
them against the roof of the shaft,
crushing some of them. The coupling
pin broke and the cage and its load of
human freight fell to the bottom of the
shaft, distance of over 1900 feet.
The list of the dead is as follows:
ALLEN CAMERoN. son OF Capt. Cameron, in
charge.
Coz S. SULLIVAN. single aged 40.
ANDREW EDNo married, aged 40
JOHN HICKS, single aged ~.

Never in the history of copper min
ing has so serious an accident occurred
as that which happened at the perpen-
dicular shaft of the Calumet and Hecla.
ever a quarter century's history of this
celebrated mine tells no tale of woe
such as this.
The 10 men killed had gone down in
the morning TO timber and repair, and
had worked all forenoon. When noon
came they stepped into the skip to be
hoisted 3, 1910 feet TO the surface To get
their dinner. The time in being hoisted
is only a minute by the powerful en-
gines used. Ernest Tullin, n very re-
liable engineer, says his indicator
showed $50 feet moro to hoist. 1t must
have failed TO respond. The cage went
crashing against the roof of the shaft
house. There was a crashing of tim
hers. The coupling pin to the wire
cable broke. Then the bucket fell with
lightning velocity over 5000 feet to the
bottom of the shaft

convict had confederatcs to assist him
In getting into the box, and was drawn
to the company's warehouse near the

not discovered until the workmcn were
loading the box upon the car, when
Che top came off. Price was serving u

The Worlds Fair People Have Decided to

The Worlds Fair gates will be swung
wide open TO the public, seven days in
the week, and the vexed question of
Sunday opening is settled. The price
is to be 20 cents, just one-half the
week day admission. Edwin Walker,
attorney for the board, submitted an
opinion on the question and on the
strength of this opinion the board
acted. Briefly Mr.. Walker decided
that the exposition was one thing and
the exposition grounds altogether n
distinct and separate thing. On this
the local director stands accordingly.
Unless the national commission acts
vigorously TO prevent it jackson Park
will be open on Sunday, the exhibition
buildings will be closed. The action
of the board will go into effect May 81.
The vote by which the resolution was

The New English Poet Laureate.

John RuslIin, whom Mr.. Gladstone
has named for poet laureate, is much
better known as critic than a poet,
his verses being few IN number and
written at an early age. They never
counted among his great works, which
have been chiefly devoted to art and
architecture. Very few of RuskiE's
verses have ever been published, and
he soon gave up poetry for more seri-
Gus studies at Oxford. He, however,
had gained the Newdigate prize for
English poetry at Christ Church in
that institution ir 1899 at the age of
20. He graduated at Oxford ir 1912,
and subsequently devoted himself to
painting and art criticism, touching
incidentally on questions of sociology
and political economy.

The New York Herald's special from
Panama, Colombia, says: Fort San
Carlos, at the head of the San Juan
river, Nicaragua, and Fort Castillo, on
the line of the proposed Nicaraguan
canal, has been captured by the reVolu-
tionists. 1t is reported that they have
seized the canal property and that the
government has been cut off from an
outlet TO the coast on the eastern
boundary of Nicaragua. They cap
tured several cannon and many rifles,
which were at once sent to Granada,
where the provisional government has
established it's headquarters. The
possession of these forts is most import
ant to the revolutionists. The fact
that their possession gives the revolu-
tionists entire control of the route to
the eastern coast of the country and
prevents the government from obtain
ing supplies from that quarter, made
the capture one of the earliest objects
of the revolutionists.
