Denver.-lf coal company has no
more respect for the dead than to dig
under graveyard and extract the
mineral that underlies the cemetery.
it must pay well for the desecration
it the owners of the churchyard have
held uninterrupted possession Of the
place for more than twenty years,
was the gist OF decision handed
down by Judges Sanborn, Garland and
Pollack in the United States Court of
Appeals.
The case was that of the Central
Coal and Coke Company VS.. William
Penny and Ben Hubbard. trustees for
the Cherokee Chapel church in Ar
kansas.
The congregation of Cherokee
chapel are negroes. Many years ago
they acquired title to two acres OF
land for a church building and grave
yard. Until short time ago they
continued to worship at the chapel
and place their dead in the little yard
unmolested.
Then the coal company acquired
land around the church yard and
opened a shaft only fifty feet away.
Soon the congregation discovered
that the company was working pe'
meath the graves. Suit was brought,
and under the decision yesterday the
company must pay the congregation
tho full market value of all coal pro-
cured under the graveyard.

GOVERNOR HAS IDEAS ABOUT
PARTY PLEDGES" HE

PRIMARY. INITIATIVE AND REF.
ERsNOUM LAWS DEMAND
ATTENTION..

DenNer.-Governor Shafroth has de.
cided that he will call the special ses-
sion OF The Legislature early in April
TO redeem the pledges made by the
Democratic party in its platform. The
governor will insist upon the enact
ment OF the direct primary law, initia-
tive and referendum, bank guaranty
law and an act providing for the
choice of United States senators by a
direct vote of the people.
When asked when he would call
the special session, Governor Shat
roth said:
Il am convinced that early in April
is the proper time. because the laws
enacted will not become effective un-
til ninety days after their passage.
Il want the Legislature to be re-
minded that a few months after the
special session is adjourned the peo-
pie Will be demanding how the party
pledges have been kept.
Il shall insist most strongly on the
laws governing primary. initiative and
referendum, bank guaranty and direct
election of United States senator.
believe these laws will be passed by
a two-thirds vote at the special ses-
SIGN. The message may contain ref
erence to other measures. If the Leg
islature fails to do it's duty within a
satisfactory time l shall prorogue 1t
and leave the question with the peO-
pie. In addition to the primary law,
which will contain the features of the
Oregon primary law. l want a law
which will require that each candidate
for the state senate or house of rep
resentatives place himself on record
before the people as to whether he
viii vote for the peoples choice for
United States senator or use his own
judgment. The people can then judge
him according to his answer and the
law will compel him to stand by his
promise. This is the nearest we can
come to direct election of United
States senator without submitting q
constitutional amendment for ratifica-
tlon by the other states.
Il do not expect the special session
to last long, and l will not tolerate
any dilatory tactics.' They must get
down to business from the beginning
and let the people know whether they
are in earnest"
