Spur May be Chan9ed

The Columbia Clay Co., the new
company for the purpose of making
brick, will be given spur by t. e
Northern Pacific. This track will go
to the brick company's land, lying in
the curve west OF the bridge. The
proposed route for the spur has been
examined 10y the railroad officials
and a favorable report given to
headquarters. This spur would also
lead close to the old boat landing
and it COT III be extended to the new
landing with very much less expense
than an independent track would
cost. This being the case it is very
probable that the spur track to the
boat landing will follow this route
instead of the line of Washington
street extended as has been previous
ly planned. The increasing import
ance of our town in the minds of the
railroad officials is shown by tLeir
favorable report.

Chadwick of the Unied States navy
and Mrs. Chadwick had just come here
to attend the eighth international con-
ference of the Red Cross which will
open in Earls Court in June.
Mrs. Chadwick will exhibit at the
conference the carrier she recently in
vented for the removal of disabled
soldiers from the battlefield. Her
friends hope that the invention will
take one of the prizes offered by thu
Empress of Russia for the advance
ment of the science of treatment or
the wounded. Field Marshal Roberts
has highly commended the invention.
and 1t will be tested soon by the Amer
lean War Department.
Admiral Chadwick says that one OF
the greatest advantages possessed by
the invention is that the wounded SOL
diers could be carried in an upright
position so that loss of blood would
be diminished in many cases. Another
point in its favor. he says. is its
extreme lightness, for the whole do

Rome. May ga group of Italian
priests have issued a remarkable open
letter to the pope.
1t is daring reply to the censure
uttered by his holiness in his allocu-
ton of April II against the most mod
ern school of ecclesiastics. and 1t ac-
cuses the pontlff of violating the
rights of conscience in his treatment
of Father Murri and other priests.
Father Murri was suspended from
the priesthood for criticising the Vat
leans policy. The letter - contends
that Roman Catholicism should aban-
don its archaic position. and by recog-
nizing the claims of science and de-
mocracy regain its hold on mankind
1t vindlcates the right of the young
men in the church to a certain amount
of liberty in their work for her and
strongly criticizes certain pontifcal
Appointments to high dignities.
The pope is charged also with par
alyzing the work and institutions of
his predecessors. The writer's of the
letter repudiate the idea OF rebellion
and appeal to the pope for wisdom,
equity and clemency.

MRS. BABCOCK LOSES.
waited Too Long to File Suit Against
FareweIls.

Farewells.
Chicago. May 29.-Judge George A.
Dupuy of the Superior Court today
entered a ruling which will probably
result in the suit of Mrs. NJ. A. Bah
cock for an accounting against John
v. Farwell Charles r. Harding and
Walter Farwell being dismissed.
Mrs. Babcock Is the widow of Amos
Babcock. who was associated with the
defendants in the construction of the
State capitol building at Austin. Tex,
they receiving for their investment
from the State, 5000. 900 acres of ranch
land. The sale of this land was car
ried on through the Capital Freehold
Land and Investment Company. an
English corporation, which 1t is de-
clared was organized by former Uni
ted States Senator Charles v. FarwelI
now dead, John v. Farwell. the mil-
lionaire dry goods merchant of Chi
cago, former Congressman Abner Tay-
lor and Amos Babcock.
Mrs. Babcock averred in her bill
that her husband only received an
eighth interest in the land, whereas
lie was entitled to a fourth interest
and that the land, which was worth
$3.50 an acre. was sold to the Capitol
Company by the original founders for
more than $12.000,000. After the in
corporation of this English company,
Mrs. Babcock declared company was
formed within the corporation. which
was controlled by the defendants and
that by system of juggling and
scheming, carried on by this inner
company. large sums of money were
turned from the Capitol Company to
the Farwells.
Judge Dupuy today sustained demur-
rers filed by the defense and held that
Mrs. Babcock's bill of complaint as
presented was insufficient. The court
also held that at this late date 1t would
be inadvisable to have an accounting
of the organizations transactions since
1885, as demanded by Mrs. Babcock.
The court held that many of the wit
nesses are dead and that instead of the
matter being adjudicated properly. the
litigation would only add to the con-
fusion.
