IN THE U. S. SUPREME COURT
Argument in the Stanford Case Will
Begin Today
Justice Peckham Renders His First Decision--
The Tregea Irrigation Case Continued--
Adjournment Till March

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-The argument
in the Stanford case will begin in the
supreme court tomorrow, the attorney gen.
eral appearing for the government and
Messrs. j, II. Choate and r. j. Wilson for
Mrs. Stanford.
An application for writ of certiorari in
the case involved in the controversy over
the Westinghouse air brake between the
Westinghouse and Boyden power brake
companies was granted by the supreme
court today, and thus the case is removed
to the supreme court. 1t was last decided
in the circuit court of appeals for the
Fourth circuit favorable to the Westing G.
house company.
The government today filed in the SUI
preme court of the United States the pa
pers in the two sugar bounty cases of A.
II. Gray and the Realty Company vs.. the
United States, the first involving claim
for about $4,000 and the second for ABOUT
$1,000, appealed from the United States
court of the Eastern louisiana district.
The decision in them will determine the
policy of the government in paying all
claims under the sugar bounty ect of the
last congress. They were decided against
the government in the lower court.
Justice Peckham, the new member of the
today in the case of involving the right of
the government to condemn the real es-
tate of the Gettysburg Electric Railway
company as part of the national park To-
Gated on the Gettysburg battle-ground. The
court below decided the act of congress au-
thorizing the establishment of national
park. as far as it applied to the condemna-
ton of private property, was unconstitu-
tional. Justice Peckham's decision re-
versed thi.A ruling, sustaining tho con-
demnation proceedings. The case is inn
postant, as it extends considerably the
authority of the general government in
condemnation proceedings.
The governments motion to advance
the case of Race Horse, "a Bannock Indian.
involving the right of those Indians to hunt
in Wyoming, was granted by the United
States supreme court today and the case
will be heard the first Monday in March.
Arguments in the California irrigation
cases was continued, Joseph Choate being
the first to be heard. The court announced
an adjournment next week to the first
Monday in March.

Council of Churches Will Be Called to In
vestigate
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 27.-As previously
announced, the board of investigation
called to inquire into the conduct of the
Rev. DR.. Brown has decided not to under
take the task, but to leave it to council of
churches, which will be called by the First
Congregational church. The board be-
lieved that it did not have the power to try
the case. The board of inquiry
met tonight, and after deciding not to
make the investigation or to listen to tn e
statement of DR.. Brown dissolved by unan-
imous vote of its members.
The next step in the @ffair is to call the
council and begin TIE trial, but the joint
committee begs the members of the First
Congregational church not to do this until
the trial of Mrs. Davidson is concluded.
Since tie board Of investigation has de,
cided that council is inevitable there is a
disposition to hold the trial at once. Since
the Joint committee has refused to investi-
gate and refused even to allow DR.. Brown
to appear before it, the people
of the church are wondering
il DR.. Brown will strive to occupy his pull
pit pending the result of the case. Ii he
does there will be another issue, and a very
serious one. The entire congregation will

Shaft
The Number Of Dead Not Certainly Known.
but Probably Includes the Whole

Associated Press Special Wire.
CARDIFF, Jan. 27.- The residents Of the
town and vicinity of Tylcrstown, near here,
were terrified by terrific reverberations
today which shock the whole town. 1t was
ascertained in a short time that the con-
cussion was caused by an explosion in
neghboring colliery with disastrous conse-
quences to life and property. The latest
report places the number of dead at fifty
four, though it is feared the further ex-
ploration of the wrecked mine will develop
the bodies of more. Reports of the mum.
Der of killed have been conflicting, and
there is doubt as to the number of men
in the mine at the time. The first
reports gave the number in the shaft at 54,
but some of the men escaped to the surface
bringing the body of one comrade With
them. The mining population of the To-
cality knew all too quickly what the muf.
fled. thunderous rumble of the explosion
meant, and rushed to the mouth of the pit
only to have their worst fears confirmed.
The shaft was found to be entirely shat
tered and it was evident there was little
hope that any of those in the pit had sur
vived the explosion.
The pit was found to have caught fire
and the hindrance that this caused to the
work of rescue added to the excitement
and tension of feeling. 1t was only through
Drawing the utmost peril that the living
were able to prosecute their quest for the
dead. The number of the dead removed
grew from twelve to fifteen and then
twenty, and the list Of those known to
have been in the shaft kept constantly
growing, and with it the number of be-
reaved families waiting at the surface.
The work of exploration is going on
steadily, but under great difficulty, the
numerous cave-ins obstructing the advance
