FRACTIONS HOPE GONE
COURT DECISION AT CHICAGO
DEFEATS THEIR PLANS.

CHICAGO, Ill.,, May 15.-The Supreme
Court of the United States. by denying the
petition of the Chicago traction companies
decided against them last March, yesterday
destroyed the last hope of the street rail-
way interests in the litigation over the 99-
year franchises.
Immediately both the city authorities and
the traction officials began to plan for the
new conditions. The news was hardly an
hour old before conferences had been ar
ranged and calculations begun. based on
the possibility Of making new arrange
ments under final and definite relations be-
tween the companies and the city. Further
action rests with Judge Grosscup who will
shape the final decree and rule on minor
points.
Negotiations began between the lawyers
for the companies and Walter L. Fisher,
special counsel to Mayor Dunno in traction
matters, soon after receipt OF the news 1t
has been the plan of Mr. Fisher to obtain
reconstruction Of the line as soon as the
work can be done by some corporation or
corporations willing and able to do the
work under the plan of indeterminate IL
cense Tor operation Of the reconstructed
lines.
The companies now in the field have ad-
vantages for doing this work. In the opin-

LAKE NAVAL STATION.
Mr.. Underwood's Point of Order
Against It Sustained

The House of Representatives resumed
consideration of the naval appropriation
bill today
When the House adjourned Friday 1t had
under consideration point of order, made
by Mr.. Underwood (Ala.), against the para
graph relating TO new buildings at the
naval training station at Lake Bluff, Ill
Mr. Foss Ul), chairman of the naval az
fairs committee. insisted that the point OF
order was not well taken, because the naval
training station on the great lakes had been
authorized by former law and the present
appropriation was but continuation OF ex
listing law.
Mr.. Underwoods contention was that the
proviso In the section vesting In the Secre-
tary OF the Navy the authority to enter
into contracts for the buildings on plans
as approved to an amount not TO exceed
S2OO0.O0o was larger than the amount orig
inally provided for. and that II was clearly
out OF order to make such change
Mr.. Crumpacker Und.), in the chair held
the point made by Mr.. Underwood as well
taken.
Mr.. Foss then offered an amendment
which was intended to continue the work
and pay for the plans.
Mr.. Foss, In explaining the purport of his
amendment, stated that the wording follow
ed exactly a similar provision providing for
an architect to prepare plans for the new
buildings at West Point.
The amendment presented by Mr.. Foss
was then agreed to. with the further linn
itation that the cost of plans and superin-
tendence should not exceed 3Jk per cent of
the total cost of the plant.

Twelve Hours Of Grace.
La view of the assurances of these minis

In the east gangway OF the shaft when

were killed were mutilated beyond recog-

of the shock
The work of rescue was begun at once
under the supervision of Mine Inspectors
Lamb and Fenton. Division Superintendent
Pollard and all the district superintendent.
Absence of Black Damp.
The absence of the deadly black damp
made the work of rescue less hazardous
tnan usual in accidents of this character.
The force of the explosion was felt a
great distance, and friends and relatives of
the entombed miners rushed to the mouth
OF the sharf. So great was the crush that
1t was necessary to call on the coal and
iron police to keep the crowds back.
The work of rescue was necessarily slow
because of the great distance the rescuers
had to travel in the shaft. 1t was several
hours before the last miner was brought to
the surface. The injured men who were at
work on the lift when the accident occurred
were first taken from the shaft and hur-
ried to hospital AS soon as this was
accomplished the rescuers directed their
attention to those who were near the bot
tom of the colliery.
All of the killed and injured were for
eigners.

says today:
Certain insurance companies doing busi-
ness in. San Francisco are charging double
the rate for insurance on local business
that were assessed by them before the re-
cent fire. Various reasons are assigned
for this. One is that the water pressure is

rates are announced. persons seeking In
surance are told that there will be rebates
later, when the normal conditions are re-
stored and the underwriters have time to
look over the field. No time is mentioned
positively. but a period OF from two to
three months is suggested as the possible
one during which the present high rates
will rule.
