PAUL JONES' BONES.
Ambassador Porter Believes He May
Be Able to Find Their Burial Place,

Ambassador Horace Porter has some
reason to believe that he has at last
discovered the remains OF John Paul
Jones, the heroic American sailor, says
a Washington dispatch to the New
Yorw Tribune. About four years ago
he received evidence that the body OF
John Paul Jones, who died In Paris
had been buried In small urban GEM
etery, but search for this cemetery
disclosed the fact that IT had been
abandoned early last century and
that It's site was covered with build
lngs, leaving little hope that any re-
mains buried there could be found.
These facts were reported 70 the state
department at the time, and there the
matter has rested until recently.
Not long ago however Mr., Porter
came into possession Of some additional
Information which warranted at least
the hope that the sailors skeleton was
not removed when the buildings were
erected and that II now reposes be-
meath the foundations or within the
cellar OF some OF the dllapidated old
flats which stand on the ground once
occupied by the cemetery. A defect In
the clews now at hand lies In the fact
that they do not indicate under which
particular building John Paul Jones
was buried. II these clews are to be
followed, therefore II Will be necessary
to demOlish anywhere from one to
half dozen buildings. The coffin may be
found at the first excavation or IL may
be necessary TO turn over the whole
site Of the ancient cemetery
II has been suggested that even II
remains were found In the work OF ex-
oayatlon i would not be possible to
Identify them after this lapse Of time
as those Of John Paul Jones. Mr.. Por-
ter however, thinks otherwise, point
Ing out that the American sailor was
buried In a lead cofiln-an unusual
means Of burial az that date, and one
likely to preserve the body I'm fair con-
dition for an indefinite period OF time.
1t Is true that Jones, by bequeathing
10 friends and immediate attendants
upon his deathbed HIS sword, his med
ais and iewelry which otherwise would
have been found IN his coffin, added
TO the difficulty OF Identification. but
Mr. Porter feels that the Theoretically
sealed coffin II found, will stlll contain
sufficient evidence for purposes OF lden-
tihcatlon.
The ambassador has suggested To
the president that 20 defray the cost
Of searching for the remains Of John
Paul Jones Congress be asked to an
proprate fund OF s35, ono, and the pres
ident II is believed VIII approve this
recommendation Il is contemplated,
I'm the event the search Is successful,
that the remains shall be placed on a
United states warship and brought TO
Washington, to be hurled In the Ma
tional cemetery, at Arlington. after an
proprlate ceremonies.

JUDGMENT REVERSED.



The supreme court today handed
down another opinion in which the
judgment OF the lower court Is re-
versed. The case is that Of Charles M.
Dull against the Mammoth Mining
company and Samuel Mcintyre. appel
lants. The action was brought to re-
cover S627.i0 alleged 20 be due plaintiff
for reporting and transcriblng the EVIL
dence and proceedings In the case OF
the Grand Central Mining company
against the Mammoth Mining company
which was tried at Neph.
Plaintiff was appointed as special
court stenographer by the Judge who
heard the case to take the testimony
I'm that particular case After his APP
pointment the attorneys for the respec-
tive parties to the action entered into
n stipulation whereby they agreed 20
allow Dull 10 cents per folio for tran
scrlhing the testimony. The price for
such work, fixed by statute, Is 10 cents
per folio. The trial lasted % days and
at it's conclusion the reporter put In
his bill TO Juab county for his regular
fees and the bill was allowed,
He then sent the Mammoth company
n bill for transcribng the testimony at
the stipulated price OF 10 cents per TO-
Ito. The company paid him the statu-
tary 10 cents per folio, but refused to
pay the additional cents per folio.
This suit was brought 10 recover the
additional price agreed upon. Judge
ment was rendered for 2140 and an
appeal was taken by the defendants
The opinion OF the supreme court,
which was written by Justice McCarty
and concurred IN by Chief Justice
Bartch and Justice Straup, holds that
when plaintiff was appointed as court
stenographer he then became a public
officer and was only entitled TO such
compensation as Is provided by law.
Any contract providing for fees In ex-
cess Of the statutory fees, the court
holds is void, as against public policy.
Hence II Is ordered that the judgment
In this case be reversed and the case
remanded with instructions to the court
below to dismiss the action. The costs
are taxed against plaintiff,
