STRA1T0N SUIT ENDS
FULL VICTORY FOR THE ESTATE
United States Supreme Court Denies
Writ OF certiorari-Lawyers for
Estate Expect to Win Another SUIT
Now Pendnq,

Colorado Springs, Colo, April IL
The United States Supreme Court at
Washington yesterday denied the ap-
plication of the Stratton's Independ-
ence Company, Limited, for a writ of
certiorari in its suit against the eXecu-
tors of the Stratton estate for So, 900,
600. This means that the estate has
won a victory in the Supreme Court
and practically all litigation is now at
an end. Both in the United States
Circuit Court and the Circuit Court OF
Appeals decisions were rendered in
favor of the estate. In the latter court
the decision was handed down in St
Louis only few weeks ago, and the
London company Immediately applied
to the United States Supreme Court
for writ of certiorari.
There is still pending in the United
States Circuit Court in Denver suit
brought by the Venture COMPANY
against the estate for s2,OO0,OOO, bur
the leading points involved in both
suits are the same, so that the execu-
tors are confident of winning in the
suit now pending.
The ground for the suits was the al
legged sailing of the Stratton's Inde-
pendence mine by the late w. S. Strat-
ton. The mine was sold to the Ven
ture people and the Stratton's Inde-
pendence, Limited, Company organ
lied. The price was $11 100000. The
sale was negotiated by Werner Y. Reed
of this city, and he is popularly sup
posed to have received a commission
of s1,000,000.
When the charge of sailing the mine
was first made it created profound
Mr.. Stratton never for moment ored-
tied the charge, and all along the eN-
ecutors of the estate have expressed
themselves as confident of victory.
The news of yesterdays decision
came in telegram to the firm of McA j.
lister & Candy, the attorneys for the
Stratton estate in this city. Associated
with them in the defense were Justice
Luther NJ. Goddard of the State Su-
preme Court and e. e. Whitted of the
firm of Dimes & Whitted of Denver.
The London company was represented
by Thomas, Bryant & Lee and Charles
J. Hughes, Jr., of Denver, and Samuel
Untermeyer and Marshall of New York
City.
The final settlement of this suit
brings the Myron Stratton Home one
step nearer of realization. With this
suit out of the way long stride in the
direction of beginning work on the
home has been accomplished.
The suit of Leslie w. Popejoy for SS,
100000 as an alleged partner of Strat
ton, is not taken seriously.

that the earthquake was even more dis
astrous than at first believed.

that only 500 are left alive. Many of
these have fed. OF the police only a
deputy inspector and four sergeauAs
are alive. Many people are still ihN
prisoned In the ruins.
Dharmsala. Kangra, Palanpur, Dha-
wan and all the neighboring villages
were completely wrecked. Scarcely q
building remains standing. Not nue.,
damage was done at Haripur, Derogo
pipur, Nadaum or Hamirpur. but Su-
janpur. having population Of about
5000 souls, Is reported to be In ruins.
The shocks still continue. There Is
no news from Kalu valley, but accord
ing to native rumors great amount
Of damage has been done.

Lively Wolf Chase,

Frederick, Okla, April 13.-Yester-
day was an ideal day for President
Roosevelt and his party Of hunters in
the big pasture. The President ap-
pears to be whole show by himself.
and he is constantly surprising the old
plainsmen.
One OF the longest runs of the entire
chase occurred during the fore part OF
the week, when a wolf was chased
over the hills and through the creeks
and timber for ten miles. Only the
hardest and best riders could keep up
such a terrific pace as this for any dis
tance. When the wolf was finally cap
tured there were but four of the party
within sight of the animal, Bob Bur-
nell, Guy Waggoner and John Aber-
nathy, three old-time cowboys, and the
fourth was Roosevelt.

COLORADO STATE AFFAIRS

Warden Cleghorn of the State Peni-
tentiary has announced the reappolnt-
ment of A. r. Frisbie as chief clerk.
Edmund Johnston of Denver was ap-
pointed yard master, vice Thomas
Clark of Denver whose term has ex-
pired There are now in the penlten-
tiary 743 convcts, the largest number
in the history of the institution. There
has peen net gain of lO2 convlcts
during the last two years.
AT meeting of the State Land Board
April 9Th right of way was granted
over certain state lands for reser-
voir and canals that are being con-
structed near Julesburg. The system
is being constructed under the irri-
CATION district law Of 1901, with which
ex-senator McCreery of Greeley is
prominently connected. The right of
way occupies about thirty acres of the
state land and was sold at $3.50 an
acre.
State Auditor Bent is sending out
a new set of blanks to the county
treasurers for the collection OF the
inheritance tax. The Supreme Court
has upheld the tax and the law re-
quiries the county treasurers to collect
it. The law also requires that they
report to the auditor every six months
and Mr.. Bent proposes that they shall
report whether they collected any tax
during the time or not. Treasurer
Holmberg is to have his license collec-
tors check up the probate courts as
they travel about and in this way it
will be possible to check the treasurers
and find if they are doing their duty
in watching the estates. 1t is tax
that the heirs often attempt to evade
and if the state is to realize anything
from it a continuous fight will have
to be made. 1t is believed that the
law is SO framed tnat the state can
not be beaten by deciding away an
estate just before death.

the final effacement of one Of the most ro-
mantle and grandly historical paths In hui
man expedition. the Simplon Pass. And,
OF course, one OF the most interesting feat
ures of the trip through the Simplon Pass
is the Sirnplon hospice. Napoleon pro-
vided for this hospice in his plan of the
81. Lescot. The estimated cost was some
thing like 5000 pounds. but work on il
ceased at the time Of Napoleon's over
throw. IL was also intended for a bar
racks in case of need. In 1925 work upon
IL was renewed by the Augustine Monks
of ST. Bernard. who devoted all the money
necessary. The four brethren who make
il their life-home. provide food and shelter
for the traveller to theextent OF over IL, 900
persons a year. A good dill ner with wine
is gwen, or else a lunch, and nothing is
asked: but such as can afford II put the
fair price in a contribution box. The build
ing contains 800 rooms, a beautiful place
of worship, and In one room Is a portrait
OF Napoleon and his court. Many mag
nifcent ST. Bernard dogs are kept b.. The
