THE CAPE COD CANAL.
Legal Proceedings Taken BY Company
to Perpetuate Its Rights.

Boston. Jan. Judge Holmes, in the
superior court this afternoon issued an
order of notice against Edward P. Shaw,
treasurer Of the commonwealth, return
able a week from next Tuesday, for him
to show cause why writ Of mandamus
should not be issued against him COM
handing him to receive and accept a
deposit of $3.50 900 from the Massachu-
sets Ship Canal Co.
The company was organized in 1895,
for the purpose of building a canal
across Cape Cod By the terms of the
act, application must be made to the
railroad commissioners and the harbor
and land commissioners, as a joint
board. to determine what provisions
shall be made for the running of trains
by the New York, New Haven and
Hartford, and the temporary erection of
drawbridges while work is in progress.
The time limits and requirements are
extended beyond the time when the
joint board shall give its decision. Here
in the act seems to conflict. One provis-
ion provides that a deposit of $4,000
shall be made by the company within
six months after the passage of the act;
and, in the event of the company's fail
ure to make such a deposit, the act au-
thorizing the construction of the canal
is null and void.
The company did not make the deposit
within the six months, but subsequent
ly offered the money to the state treas
urer, who refused to accept it, on the
ground that the time for making the
deposit had expired.
The company contends, however, that
the time for making a deposit came
within the perview of the provision ex-
tending to time limits until such time
as the joint board shall have rendered
it's decision Therefore, the company
asks for writ of mandamus.

HoDGDoN AND COOK BOUND ovEF
After Police Court Hearing They Are
Rearrested On Bench Warrant.


Rearrested On Bench Warrant.
New Haven, Conn.,, Jan. THE cases
of Capt. G. r. Hodgdon, who, with
Frederick Cook was recently arrested
on charge alleging arson with intent
to endanger life in the attempted burn
ing of the Hotel Tontine on Christmas
morning, came up in the police court
here this morning. Before the proceed
ings were concluded the cases became
much less serious, in view of the fact
that the complaints of arson with intent
to endanger life, a crime punishable by
life imprisonment were nolled, and Cap
tain Hodgdon and Cook were rearrest-
ed on charges alleging arson
Judge Dow bound them over for trial
in the superior court, March term. At
ter much argument, the amount of bail
in each case was reduced from $4,000 to
$4,000.
Immediately after the close of the po-
lice court proceedings, another sensa-
ton in the case developed, when Cap
tain Hodgdon and Cook were once
more arrested, this time by High Sher-
iff Spiegel, on a bench warrant, which
took the case peremptorily into the SUI
perior court. The greatest surprise was
oecasioned by this step on the part of
the authorities.
The two prisoners were taken at once
to the superior court, which was in ses-
sion, Judge Roraback presiding.
They were arTaigned on charges of ar
son, containing two counts. Both plead
ed not guilty, and bonds were fixed
anew at $5000 Captain Hodgdon Sc
cured a bondsman
Still further surprise was occasioned
when State Attorney Williams urged a
trial this term. After a debate, Judge
Rorabaek finally assigned the case for
trial on January %.

sCHAEFER ELECTED.
Democrats of Maryland House of Del
egates Assisted Republicans.


Annapolis Md, Jan. THE repub-
lican members of the lower house of the
Legislature, after more than two
months of deals and promises, failed to
agree upon a speaker of the house Of
delegates, and today twelve of their
number, assisted by Al democrats, elect
ed Louis Schaefer Of Baltimore to the
position Of presiding officer.
1t has been a warm struggle through
out. The Baltimore city delegation con-
tended that their is votes had given the
republicans the majority, and insisted
that they were entitled to the speaker
ship. The country members thought
that their 81 votes were entitled to some
consideration, and determined that the
man to WELD the gavel should come
from outside the metropolis Of the state.
Seven city members bolted the confer
ence of the city delegation held in Bal
timore some weeks ago, and since then
chaos has reigned in the republican
ranks.
The democratic members of the house,
realizing that there was no possibility
of electing their candidate for the
speakership, Mr.. Wilkinson listened to
the overtures of the bolters and today
voted for a "dyed-in-the- woo" repub-
lican, as agreed upon at a conference
held yesterday Preliminary to the bal
loting. Mr.. Gould, the majority nom
inee, withdrew, and presented the name
of Mr.. Quinlan, who was on Wednesday
elected speaker pro tenn.
There was one deserter from the
ranks of the regulars, and Mr.. Schafer
received one more vote than was ex-
pected, the result being: Schaefer SO,
Quinlan g. There was no further con-
test, and the republican caucus nom
inees for the other offices Of the house
was elected viva voce. Both branches
adjourned after the organization OF the
house until Jan. H. Balloting for sue
cessor to United StatEs Senator German
will begin in each house week from
that date.

One Hundred and Thirty Candidates for
Cornell's Freshman Crew.

Ithaca, N. Y, Jan. Tone hundred
and thirty freshmen today handed their
names to Capt. Colson as candidates for
Cornelis freshmen crew. This is by
far the largest registration Cornell ever
had. There are the usual number of
understood aspirants, but some Go weigh
over $50 pounds each. The average
weight Of the heavy candidates was
about 1854 pounds. Twenty-Five weighed
between $50 and 155, while the lighter
candidates averaged 143 pounds. About
IA handed in their names for positions
as coxswains. Capt. CoLson seemed
satisfied with the quantity and quality
of the candidates, and at present there
are excellent reasons for believing that
Courtney win turn out an aggregation
of freshmen better than that of last
year.

City and Suburban Of the Epson spring
meeting and in the Jubilee Stakes to be

III better shape to begin a seasons cam

have the horse in shape to fill both Of
his enga gements.
Dobbins is remembered by the metropoli-
tan racing patrons as the rival Of the
mighty Domino, as a two year-old in s93 .
and easily the king OF the three year-old
division during the following sea son. Lack
ing the whirlwind speed of the great
son of HiIHyar, Dobbins was beaten every

where he met and defeated Hornpipe a nd

the year Dobbins won it than it had ever
