UNION PACIFIC SHOULD PAY.
The Lake Shore Gets Into the Spokan,
Depot Company Litigation.

Seattle, Nov 27-The Seattle. Lake
Shore & Eastern Railway Company re-
ceivers claim a large slice of the capital
stock of the Union Depot Company of Spo-
kane, and propose to have something to
say in the matter OF foreclosure.
A petition filed by the hrst-named COM
pany claims that the American Loan and
Trust Company of New York has no right
to maintain an action for foreclosure on
the Union Depot Company. 1t is alleged
that the depot company's bonds, which
are secured by the mortgage, are owned
by the Union Pacific Railroad Company;
that the latter company's Indebtedness
to the depot company is more than
enough to pay the delinquent interest on
the depot company's Indebtedness. Lake
Shore receivers therefore ask for an ex
tension of time in which to file a bin of in
tervention.

better than any yet examined. 1t is of
the modified Mansur type and uses rim

made have not satisfied the ordnance Of

Judge A. G. Dittenhoffer, their counsel.
The demurrers are alike in both cases.
IWentyfour separate grounds of OBJ
lection are set up. The demurrerS urged
that the senate resolution fails to show
that the Investigating committee was
empowered to try any senator for disor-
derly conduct or that said inquiry was
for the purpose of assisting the senate
in any legislative or judicial action.
The point is also made that the power to
punish for refusing to make answer,
can not be delegated by the senate to
this court or to any jury of the Dis
trict of Columbia. The claim is also
made that the laws under which the
indictments were found are unconstitlt-
tiOnal.
