question. What is to be done with the
church? Men who have been leaders
in the recent church controversy
took part in the discussion, and a
large number of young men handled
the difficult problem with surprising
ability The discussion started in the
evening, but It became so intensely
interesting that those who were in
attendance hardly realized that 1t

istic opinions clashed, but from start
to finish the discussion was carried
on in the most friendly spirit. 1t is
predicted that this meeting will bear

PRAIRIE FIRES,
Several Fires Caused Considerable

Grand Forks, n. D., April FL
Prairie fires north and east of Ojata
burned over wide area and caused
the destruction of farm buildings

His loss is $4,000 with no insurance.
A tenant moved out of the buildings
only few days ago. There were no
fire brakes. The buildings burned in

Seattle, Wash, April 3-Capt.

which sought to find an undiscovered
continent in the Beaufort sea. ar
rived from the north yesterday on the
Iucatan. Capt Mikkelsens vessel.
the Duchess of Bedford. was lost in
the ice pack near Flaxman island a
year ago. Capt. Mikkelsen started
Oct. Is. from Flaxman island and
made the journey along the northern
shores OF Alaska TO Nome, arriving
al the latter place Jan. 20. He left
Nome with companion Jan. Is, and
journeyed with dogs sleds I'D the Yu-
kon river to Fort Gibbon. and came out
by the way OF Fairbanks and Valdez.
Capt, Mikkelsen's expedition traced
the continental shelf in the Beaufort
sea and ascertained that if land does
lie beyond the sea it is an independent
continent He has obtained informa-
ton concerning ocean currents which
will be invaluable to him when he
makes his next attempt to attain the
unknown continent. In the tedious
march over the ice hummocks the
party frequently came upon water.
Capt. Mikkelsen had none of the native
kayaks OF which Dr. Nansen made
such good use. but instead he made
his boats when the occasion arose.
He strapped a waterproof tarpaulin
beneath his sledges and improvised
raft which floated. The sledge ex-
petition went further into the un-
explored Beaufort sea than had been
planned by the Royal Geographical
Society OF London and the American
Geographical Society Of New York,
which directed the expedition.
They found the continental shelf and
learned that beyond this shelf there
was water of great depth. 1t was as.

This Indicated that the continental
shelf had been passed and one Of their
objects had been accomplished. They
continued the journey until they
crossed the seventy-second parallel,
when the ice conditions prevented
further travel. The return journey
was made un 'er the most trying CON
ditions. They landed near Cape Hal

Theodore j. Roche; the firm of Costello
& Costello composed of Stephen "
Costello and Frank Costello and other
lawyers who engage in damage cases
against the corporation. A detective
bureau is to be established, headed by
an adroit man. Actions of the Calhoun
hirelings will be watched and if the
of the crime is to follow.
Both Stephen Costello and Matt Sui
Ivan admitted yesterday that such an
organization is being formed. Many
cases of persons injured by the United
Railroads are soon to be tried in the
may have an even chance, the lawyers
will inaugurate a system of espionage
on the notorious jury ffxers of the Cal
houn corporation.
At the trial Tuesday OF the suit
brought by Charles Jones against the
United Railroads Attorney Costello, for
the plaintiff, alleged that the jury had
been tampered with and started an in
vestigation into the conduct of Sam
Leake, who has been connected With
Calhouns defense in the graft cases,
and John. j. Cassidy of the claims de-
partment of the road. After the jury
had retired Costello stated that during
the last Is years few verdicts had been
returned against the company. Yes
terday he added TO his statement by
oxriy, 20
cases were tried, regating claims
for $3,000,00O, but that only an infini-
tesimal amount had been recovered. So
certain has it become that the company
would get a favorable verdict that law
yers have hesitated to bring suits
accept the meager amount which the
company would pay in lieu of Just
damages. 'In one case" Costello cited.
"a mother of a family was killed and
the company gave $125, not enough for
funeral expenses"
Costello won the suit on Tuesday.
He looks on that victory, however, az
rare instance, and declared yesterday
that something had to be done to pro.
tect the claimants against the road
'Ninety-nine per cent of the people
injured in street railway accidents are
poor people," he stated, "and they have
little chance against the company The
company's claims department keeps a.
list of all jurors favorable to it, and
also adopts ingenious ways of reaching
jurors by exerting certain pressure on
them. The attorneys intend to organ
ize, engage detectives and see that this
pressure is removed"
Attorney Sullivan agreed with Cos
tello in the main and stated that he
had discussed the organization of law
yers to combat the schemes of the rail-
way company. The chief vice is with

Damage Cases
Almost Impossible, Declares an
Attorney, to Get a Just
Verdict Returned

Twenty-Five attorneys of this city,
headed by Stephen v. Costello and
Matt l. Sullivan and their associates,
are about to form an organization to
confront and combat the almost feudal
sway which the United Railroads has
held over trial jurors in damage
cases before the superior court. The
Calhoun corporation inherited the
vassals of the jury box from the
Market street railroad company, and
during the past Is years, according to
Costello, it has been almost irnpos-
sible for a citizen injured by the cor
poration to secure damages in jury
trials.
Now a new regime is to be inaugu-
rated by the firm of Sullivan, Sullivan
& Roche, which includes Matthew l..
Sullivan, former Judge Sullivan and
