Mr.. l3irney.
The District Supreme Court is awaiting
the Presidents approval of the act author
izing the court to fill a vacancy in the Of
f1ce of the attorney Of the United States
for the District. and Immediately upon the
measure becoming law the court will make
the appointment The court held meet
ing this morning, but Judge Hagner stated
tc Star reporter that as no action can be
taken by the court until the President signs
the act, there was nothing done by the
court today. In anticipation of the meas
ure becoming law some time today Chief
Justlce bingham remained at the city hall
curing the day, prepared to act at once.
1nere is little, If any, doubt Of the deter
n,inatlon or the court to reappoint Mr.. 4.
A. Birney, when the act is approved; pro-
vfded, of course, the nomination of Mr..
Henry e. Davis shall not have been con-
firnled.
Speaking today to Star reporter of the
charge made in the Senate yesterday to the
erect that he had interested himself in Sc
curing the dismissal Of silver men from the
government service Mr. Davis said that
there Is not the slightest truth in the
charge. Nor Is there, he remarked the
slightest truth in the charge that he had
been guilty during the late Campaign or at
any other time Of using improper language
IN referring to any politicalaopponent. Mr..
Davis said he courts the fullest investiRa-
ton of the charges, and, II given the op-
portunity, will show the charges to be ab-
solutely groundless.

SPECIAL TRAIN RUN at TOP SPEED
Remarkable Feat in RaiIroading
Accomplished in Vain.
EFFORTS WERE USELESS

DENVER COL February 16.-The special
train from Chicago over the Chicago. Bur-
lington and Quincy and the Burlington
and Missouri railroads. chartered by Henry
J. Mayham. a Denver mining investment
broker, reached this city at 3:52 am. today.
having run 1,O26 miles in eighteen hours
and 1fty-two minutes
This journey goes into history as the
greatest railroad feat ever accomplished.
The best previous railroad long-distance
record was nineteen hours and fifty-seven
minutes for 964 miles, over the New York
Central and Lake Shore railroads. from
New York to Chicago
Mr. Mayham, who left New York Sunday
the Pennsylvania limited, chartered a
special train at Chicago in order to reach
the bedside of his dying son, VIM. B. May
ham. as quickly as possible. The Burling-
ton officials agreed to take him to Denver
in twenty our hours. 1t was a. first
thought the trip might be made in twenty
one hours. Every resource of the Bur-
hngton system was brought into play and
Bver two hours clipped off from the
best running time was thought to be pos
sible. On straight stretches of track the
train covered more than sixty miles an
hour. The mountain climb from Akron.
COL to Denver. lis miles, was made in
III minutes, the train running an even
mile a minute much of the distance.
At Lincoln, Neb.. Travelling Engineer
Dixon of the Burlington entered the cab
of the engine and remained with each en-
gineer as he came on until the train reach
ed Denver.
No special train bearing high officials of
the nation ever attracted more careful at
tention from the officers of the railway.
kilograms from all parts of the United
States inquired concerning the progress OF
the train and the possibility of Mr.. May
ham reaching the side of his son in time
at least to grasp his hand before he was
beckoned across the dark river. AT the
Burlington passenger office in this city the
representatives were kept busy answering
questions from friends and well-wishers of
toms splendid record, Mr.. Mayham arrived
in Denver too late to see his son alive The
young man died shortly after midnight.
MIR Mayham was constantly sending his
son kilograms as he neared Denver. Be
fore reaching Colorado he sent three mes
Sages in succession. each of which was to
the effect that when Will got well they
would go to California to hasten the SON g
recovery. AS he neared this city the mes
moment when the son was lying dead the
father, half-craZed with fear, was still
sending messages
Mrs. Mayham. mother of VIII, and her
daughter were in New Orleans when ap-
prised of his illness, and they also hurried
homeward.
Will Mayham was twenty-one years of
ase, and was married but few months
ago Friday morning he appeared in the
best of health, but later in the day he be-
came i'll, and appendicitis in the most vio-
lent form quickly developed. The deceased
was one of the most promising young busi-
ness men in Denver.
