THAT St. Paul man, who likenS his

swollen by everflowing affluents.

sweeping all before with irresistible
impetuosity, certainly has ii just

The Isle OF pines lying off the
southwest coast OF Cuba would seem
to be sort OF No Mans Land. Minis
ter Squiers, Of Havana, insists that he
never suggested to any Americans to
set up government of their own and
points out that the Cuban govern
ment is administering affairs in the
island pending decision as to sovel-
eighty. Certainly it would be better
for all concerned if that question of
sovereignty could he settled speedily
although it is doubtless entangled
with the question of United States
naval stations that is causing SO much
perturbation in the Gu ban mind.

INSURANCE POLICY INVALID
Estate of n Man Hanged for Murder
Cannot Collect Upon His
Life.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-The question OF
the effect of murder upon a life Insurance
policy. when issued upon the life of the
murderer, was today passed upon by the
United States supreme court in an opin-
ion delivered by Justice Brewer. The case
In which the opinion was delivered was
that Of NJ. Burt against the Union Central
Life Insurance company William e. Burt
OF Travis county. Texas, was the name Of
the man insured. His policy was made
payable to his wife, Anna NJ Burt, and in
case Of her death to her executors.
During the following year Burt's wife
died and he afterward was charged with
her murder and was found guilty and exc
cuted.
Afterward the estate made an effort to
collect upon the policy, but the insurance
company resisted payment. The lower
courts, including the court Of appeals for
the Fifth circuit, sustained the position
of the company, and today's opinion af-
firming the decision of the court OF ap-
peals holds the policy invalid on the
ground that to sanction payment under the
circumstances would be contrary to public
policy.

IN SOUTH OMAHA YARDS
Two Men Seriously Injured ana
Two burlington Engines
Smashed Up.

Two men seriously injured, one engine in
the scrap pile and another one badly bat
tered and out of service is the net result
OF a wreck in the Burlington yards at South
Omaha yesterday evening
Switch engine 276. in charge OF Engineer
7. d. Helan, was at the top OF the hill
about 10 o'clock, when the throttle be-
came disconnected and the engineer could
do nothing TO control II, though he stayed
at his post and made the effort. The wild
engine came down the hill into the yards
at high speed and crashed into switch en-
gine 172 at f street and Boulevard. The
force of the impact was terrific and both
engines were badly smashed, 276 being
practically a scrap heap and 172 so badly
disabled that the shop force will have con-
siderable work putting 1t into condition for
service again.
T. d. Helan, the engineer Of the wild en-
gine, was badly hurt about the head and
his face was burned by escaping steam.
NJ Hoops. fireman of 172, was severely
scalded from the knees down and slightly
hurt about the head.
Both men were taken to the South Omaha
hospital, where they were cared for. While
their injuries are painful, neither of them
are likely to die or be permanently Grip
pied as a result.
