IN GOOD HEALTH AGAIN
The Pope Receives Congratulate
tions of the Sacred College.
He THANKS THE DEITY
The Cars Efforts Towards Universal
Peace Warmly Eulogized-Church
Often instrumental in Promot-
ing Peace-Its influences,

Rome, April 1.-THE pope to-day re-
ceived the members of the sacred col
lege, who congratulated the pontiff on
his restoration to health. In his ad-
dress to the cardinals the pope, after,
expressing gratitude to the deity for
his restoration to health and his thank
fulness for the proofs of affection from
all parts of the world, warmly eulo-
gized the cars initiative in calling the
peace conference and hoped that it
would lead to a settlement of all dis
putes between all nations by moral
and peaceful means.
The pontiff also dwelt at length upon
the churchs mission of pacification
mot only in the domain of conscience.
but in the public and social sphere, a
mission which the church fulfills in
proportion with the freedom left to
her action
Continuing the pope said: Every
time the church has interviewed in the
serious affairs of the world 1t has as
sured public welfare, and the popes
have often stepped oppression and Sc
cured truees and peace treaties.
Civilization would have persisted
without papal authority to vindicate
the supremacy of right over might.
Oppression may sometimes embarrass
and curtail the powers of religion, but
amid all victssitudes the church pur-
sues it's beneficent mission, which Will
embrace heaven and earth Pure HUI
manitarianism could not insure last
ing prosperity. An attempt is even
now perceptible to withdraw civiliza-
ton from the influence of Christianity"
The pope concluded by bestowing his
benediction upon those present in a
firm, strong voice. Besides the GER
dinals a number of bishops and other
dignitaries of the church were present.
The health of the pontiff was appar-

TO PROTECT THE CUBANS.
General Brooke Suggests n Plan to Ex-
tend Mortgages,

Washington, April 1.-THE principal
subject of discussion at to-days cab:-
net meeting was an elaborate plan of
credit extensions in Cuba, which has
been presented by General Brooke and
his cabinet council. The proposed plan
of mortgage extensions involves pay
ments in installments covering periods
of varying length up to six years, and
is intended to- place creditors beyond
the reach of foreclosure proceedings
until they can. to some extent, at least.
recoup their fortunes. 1t is admitted
that to authorize peremptory forec,o-
sure proceedings against all property
covered by mortgage would result in
bankruptcy to a large PERCENTAGE of
the Cuban property owners, and it is
not the intention of this government
to precipitate such condition by au-
thorizing creditors to proceed to fore
close. The plan proposed, however,
does not meet with the approval of
the attorney general or the president
but just what will be done has not yet
been decided.
could not assume to determine when
the time suggested covers a period of
six years. 1t seems likely, however,
that further extensions may be grant
ed and possibly a. satisfactory plan
may be evolved. The subject of the
method of paying the 10000 900 due to
Spain under the treaty was discussed
and it was decided to pay the amount
by draft on New York. to be deliv-
cred to whomever the Spanish govern
ment authorizes to receive it. No des-
ignation, however, has yet been made.

TOO FL|MSY AN AFFAIR
A Bridge Superstructure Over the
Harlem River Collapses.
FOUR MEN ARE KILLED
Six Others Are Seriously Injured - Too
Heavy a Weight Was Put on the
Travelling Derrick and the Whole
Goes Down With Crash.

New York, April 1.-THE temporary
superstructure of the big Willis avenue
bridge, now being built over the Harlem
river. collapsed this afternoon, killing
four men and seriously injuring six,
one of whom may die. Twelve or more
f-other workingmen also received injuries
of more or less serious nature. The
dead are:
NJ. LEWIS BEATTIE.
WILLIAM DELANEY. 65 years old.
WALTER DELANEY, son of the
above. % years old.

The most seriously injured are:
Charles Pursley. skull fracture. prob
ably fatal; Joseph Berry, head crushed:
Daniel Sheehan, hurt about head. arms
crushed: S. c, Wolf, crushed: Simon
Medbo crushed.
The accident occurred al $50 o'clock
and was caused by too great a weight
being put on the travelling derrick that
crossed the superstructure. The super
structure rested on the north shore sus-
tanning wall with a pier and was a
e1imsy affair stretching 300 feet across
deep water, built in three sections one
above another to "a height of about so
feet. Over this a massive travelling
crane or carriage was operated. TWEEN
ty-f1ve to thirty men We're employed on
the structure when the collapse oc-
Cured. A heavy load of steel beams
was being sent out on the crane when
the timbers gave way and the entire
structure went down with a crash. AS
the supporting timbers began to give,
the heavily laden crane ran rapidly for
ward for short distance and toppled
into the river. AS it went down, the
upright crashed into the workmen,
striking the Delaneys and Beattie, kill
ing them instantly.
Many of the men We're carried down
in the wreck. Only few succeeded in
getting to the pier. the majority either
falling into the water or into the tangle
of iron and wood work.

OPINIONS BY THEATT ORNEY GENERAL.


Removal of Game Wafdens.
Special Dispatch to the standard
Helena, April 11.-Attorney General
Nolan to-day rendered an opinion COW
erlng the question of division of school
districts, whether school trustees, by
unanimous consent. can divide school
district into two districts; also an opin-
ion as to whether county commission
ers have authority under the law to dis
pense with the services of game war
den, pretending that his services were
no longer needed and without notice 10
him. The opinions were made in re-
Spouse to inquiries covering these two
points, contained in Il letter from State
Senator Myers of Ravalli county.
To the first the attorney general am
sWers in the negative. and to the sec
ond in the affirmative. He holds that
division of a school district cannot be
made by the school trustees at all. If
division is made, it is made through
the agency of the county superintend-
ent of schools. He calls attention to
sections 1851, 1852. 1853, 1854 and 1760, of
the political code. which show that it
is explicitly provided therein for the
establishment of school districts, also
for changes in the boundaries of dis
tricts.
Trustees are given no authority in
the premises at all" says Mr.. Nolan.
The power to establish or change dis
tricts is vested in the county superin-
tendent of schools, ito be exercised when
the conditions provided for by these
sections are shown to exist
After quoting section 1902 of the polit
ical code, governing the appointment of
a game warden, and how and when he
may be removed, the attorney general
says: THE office of game and fish
warden is provided for by law. There
is. however. in connection with this APP
pointment under the law no tenure of
office. 1t is simply provided that he
shall be appointed and shall receive a
salary of not to exceed 800 per month.
The duration of term of his office under
the circumstances necessarily depends
upon the volition of appointing power
Section 993 of the political code pro-
vides that every Office of which dura-
ton is not fixed by law is held at the
pleasure of the appointing power"
Without this statutory provision, the
general principles Of law applicable
make the continuance or retention of
office of one where the term is not
fixed, dependent upon the will and ca
price OF the appointing power. Author
tiles innumerable sustaining this view
can be readily found. Authorities are
quoted in support of this contention
and in closing Mr.. Nolan says: I'm
the light of these declarations, sus-
tanned by numerous decisions, 1T would
appear that the commissioners did have
the right to summary remove the Of
ficer named, without notice or hearing,
regardless of the motives which
prompted their action"

Greenwood, B. c., April 11.--There is

for a boundary creek that has been con-

Columbia & Western railroad Claims
have been located for several miles up and
down the creek. and the owners of the
townsite are threatening proceedings at
law against the locators, who say they
will work the ground if they have to do
so with the aid of shotguns. Work is be-
ing done to-day with pans and rockers all
over the creek. Back in the '7Os consider
