As the result of the caving in of a portion of the subway immediately at the end Of the tracks of the E. F. & s. w.. at the foot of Brewery avenue. those accustomed to being around the depot are shuddering to think of the numerous narrow es- capes experienced within the last day or two. especially by vehicles which have passed continuously over the spot. As 1t was, the cave-in came late in the eveHSlg. at o'clock. and the only damage done was to railway baggage truck. which lies at the bottom of a twenty-foot hole.

COMMERCE COMMISSION
LOSES TO THE RAILROADS
Rates on Lumber Reduced by In
terstate Body Restored
by Court

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Oct. 10-Judges
Sanborn, Hook, Vandeventer and Ad-
ans in the United States circuit court
upheld today the findings of Master in
Chancery F. n. Dickson in the suit
brought by the Great Northern, North
ern Pacific, Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy and Union Pacific railroads to
enjoin the interstate commerce COM
mission from enforcing the reduction
in lumber rates from Portland to ST.
Paul and Chicago.
All exceptions by both sides were
overruled. The action of the court Is
a victory for the railroads.
The rate on lumber from Portland
tc st. Paul was raised from 40 to 90
cents per hundredweight by the rail-
roads. The interstate commerce COM
mission cut the rate to 40 cents, but
the master recommended a 5O-cent
rate. A 60-cent rate from Portland
to Chicago was cut to 30 cents by the
commission. A 70-cent rate was re-
stored by the master.
The order of the interstate com
merce commission expires October 15,
but it is expected the roads will leave
the rates as ordered until the case is
finally decided, as it is likely to be ap-
pealed to the United States supreme
court.

SAYS AMERICA IS NATION
OF SOCIETY GAMBLERS
Flags Church People Who Play
Cards for Money

SEATTLE, Oct. 1o.-"America is
fast becoming a nation Of society gam
blers," said Mrs. A. B. Sims, one of
the band of workers of the American
Purity federation, who will open a
convention in Seattle today, last night
in Plymouth church, the largest and
wealthiest Congregational church in
this city.
AS she denounced card playing and
hayed card players, several of the
congregation left the house.
"Eighty-five per cent Of the fashion
able society gamblers are church peo-
pie; that is, their names appear on
some church roll. Card playing among
church members is the beginning of
the undermining of their Christian
faith. other sins follow, and SO by 1t
we are betrayed.
Questionable card playing leads to
extravagant living, and the downfall
of virtue. We are a nation of society
gamblers, and, worst of all, a nation
of women gamblers.
1.-THE effect on the nerves of our
women is worse than the effect on
their pockets. The frenzy of card
playing acts on them like whisky,
morphine and cocaine"

NEW CONSTITUTION Of
NICARAGUA IS LIBERAL
instrument Lessons Possibility oil
Repetition of Former
Dictatorship

NEW YORK, Oct 10.-A copy of the
constitution promulgated by the pro-
visional government of Nicaragua has
just been received in New York A
translation of the instrument shows
that 1t differs in several important re-
spects from the constitution in effect
during thirteen years of the Zelaya
rule. 1t grants to the people Aa greater
degree of liberty than they ever be-
fore enjoyed, and lessons the possibil-
ity of a repetition of the dictatorship
under which the republic suffered dur
ing the Zelaya regime.
The preamble reads:
During the administration of Gen.
J. Santo Zelaya and DR.. Jose Madriz
the constitution and laws of the re-
public never had effective application,
because in that time the arbitrary will
Of the rulers always prevailed in all
the branches of public administration.
The undersigned desires to adapt all
his acts in conformity with q rule that
guarantees public liberties and the in
dependent exercise of the judiciary
power, in which a complete change
must be made in the personnel of the
past rule, for the scandalous demor-
alization of the administration of JUS
tice has been notorious"
Article 6, divided into sixteen para
graphs, gives TO tne NlCdTdBudn Ger
tain rights which heretofore they nave
never known. The first paragraph
grants to all liberty. individual Sc
curity and equality. The right to ex-
ercise the writ of habeas corpus Is also
given.
The new constitution establishes the
right of defense and jury trial and of
the publicity of hearings, and guar
antees the privacy of letter and tele-
graphic communication.
There will be no death penalty or
punishment by the lash or other tor
ture.
Article 8 aims to do away with the
Zelayan practice of arbitrarily exiling
persons from the territory for personal
reasons and for indefinite periods. II
reads:
THE expulsion of a Nicaraguan from
the territory of the republic may not
be decreed except for tustiflable cause
and in the council of ministers, and
such term of exile shall not exceed six
months

HUGHES SWEARS
OATH Of JUSTICE
United States Supreme Court
Opens with Ceremonies for
New and Dead Judges
JOHN M. HARLAN PRESlDES
The Late Chief Justice Fuller Is
EuIogized- Crowded Dock
ct Presses Court
TAssociated Press1

WASHINGTON Oct. 10.-Ceremon-
les marking the advent of a new Judge
of the law AM the demise of famous
jurist, who had gone before him, con-
stituted today the solemn business of
the supreme court of the United States.
Charles e. Hughes of New York
donned the robes of office as an as
sociate justice with all the formali-
ties designed to give dignity to the
court, and then with few words OF
sorrow, expressed by the senior as
sociate Justice, John Marshall Harlan,
the court adjourned until tomorrow out
of respect to the memory of the late
Chief Justice Melville w. Fuller. The
little courtroom was crowded. Con-
spicuous among the spectators were
the mother, the wife and the daugh-
ter of Justice Hughes.
The administration Of the oath to the
new justice consumed but q few min
utes. Then Justice Harlan announced
the death of the chief justice and
spoke of his distinguished service to
the country. He concluded with the
remark that the memory of his fam
Gus life would "ever remain as a, price
less heritage to his countrymen."
BARELY QUORUM
Eight minutes after convening the
court adjourned.
Not in years had the opening day Of
the supreme court of the United States
arrived with barely a quorum Of JUS
tees ready to go on the bench until
today.
The death of Chief Justice Fuller
left the court without permanent
head. while the passing away of JUS
tice Brewer and the illness of Justice
Moody, whose resignation becomes ef-
fective November 80, reduced the ac-
tive membership to six.
One noticeable result was the change
in the seating arrangement of the JUS
tices. This provided for Justice Har-
Ian, the senior member of the court, to
move from the place of honor he had
occupied for years at the right of
Justice Fuller, to the chair of the late
chief justice himself, in recognition
of his having become temporarily the
presiding officer of the court.
A VACANT CHAIR
The seats of tn other members were
changed so that Justice White was as
signed to the seat to the right of the
presiding Justice and Justice McKen-
ma to the left. Still farther to the
right was Justice Holmes chair, while
on the other side were chairs for JUS
tices Day and Lurton. Next to JUS
tice Holmes was vacant chair for
Justice Moody, and on the extreme
right was the seat for Charles e.
Hughes. This arrangement was de-
signed to be effective until a new chief
Justice is appointed, at least.
Although nearly iL5 cases ara on the
docket, the largest number probably in
the history of the court at the opening
of term, the program for the day
was limited because Of the unusual cir
cumstances. Had the president of the
United States been in the city the
court would have adjourned to pay
its respects to him. This left the day
to be devoted exclusively to the cere-
monies attending the swearing in of
Justice Hughes and those marking the
death of Chief Justice Fuller. To-
morrow the court will begin in earn
est the work of the year.

CAMP ATASCADERO, oct. 10-With
the California guardsmen in biVouac
at Aragos and Estrada Springs, and
the regulars sleeping on their arms IN
the home camp ready to meet an at
tack at any moment, clash may
come tonight between the reds and
the blues.
Camp fires CLINT and glimmer among
the live oaks, lending a cheer that is
not all ephemeral. Outposts lining
the hills that surround either camp,
long to approach the CHEEKY, blazing
logs, but military necessity forbids.
The two camps represent rival forces
(which, awaiting only daylight and the
arrival of reinforcements to come in
the shape of regular troops, are ready
to fly at each other. The utmost vigil
ance must be observed, for there may
be night attack. Clearly it is no time
for telltale fires or lights on the out
post lines.
Skeptical regular army officers can
see in the situation nothing but night
alarm for them. They place it beyond
the realms of reason to suppose that
the organized militia will be able to
bear the brunt Of the chill night alone
In support of this contention, the orders
for tomorrows work, which had been
distributed by p. m, were Withdrawn

"in the air. as it were.

If all this is not real war, 1t is very
close to it, for the comfort of 5OOO
men is at stake and they would be no
more exposed in the face of an enemy,
save for the matter of bullets.
This afternoon Major Leon Roudlez
and his battalion of the Thirtieth In
fantry, fired at silhouette figures with
ball ammunition. The entire regular
army was turned out to witness the
exhibition.
Returning from the firing line, one OF
the regular battalions was utterly
routed and put to flight by swarm
of hornets.
Governor Gillett is expected to ar
rive on the 18th to review the as
sembled troops. A monster review II
will be, including every available man
of all branches of the service.
A reception will be given for him
at headquarters camp, either just be-
fore or Just after the review.

MINE OFFICIALS SCOUT
DUST EXPLOSION THEORY
Claim the SprinkIing as Required
by Law Was Done
Properly

STARKVILLE, Colo, Oct. 1O.-The
value of a rescue station, such as IS
contemplated by the United states In
coal mining sections of the country is
appreciated here at this time and re-
gret is expressed on all hands that the
station intended for this section and
decided on several months ago rad
not been installed and in operation
now. The understanding was that
the Colorado Fuel and Iron company
and lesser companies were to supply
the site for the station, but as yet the
site has not been furnished.
The dust theory for the explosion is
chm tn by many who have thought
over all possible causes for the catas-
trophe and experts say that the pres
ence of this dangerous explosive must
be accepted as a fact because all
other theories have no foundation or
fact to be based upon. The mine was
non-gaseous, no shot-firing being per-
mitted or even necessary, because the
mine was operated exclusively by
picking processes, and prepared eX-
plosives were not used for any pur-
pose
Even though the mine was sprinkled
regularly to keep down dust bodies,
experts declare it was possible for the
coal 1ust to accumulate in abandonei
rooms and cuts ana not De Iounu un-

ings with his open lamp, such as were
used in the Starkville mine, because
there was nothing to fear from gas,
would cause to be ignited any such
accumulations of dust with its con-
seuuent explosion.
Mine officials, however, refuse to ac-
cept the dust theory on the ground
that the sprinkling required by law
was done right, by means of sprink-
ling car, which throws spray of
water over the entire ceiling, walls
and floor as it moves along operated
by electric power. These othclals
say that the fact that men were work.

COURT DECLARES TW0-BIT
LAW UNCONSTITUTIONAL

DENVER, Colo, Oct 1O.-The state
supreme court today in an oral opinion
declared the "two-bit law passed by
the last regular session of the legisla-
ture to be unconstitutional.
The law provided that the state
should furnish campaign funds for
political parties, the funds to be based
upon the number of votes cast by each
party for governor at the last pre-
vious election. A pro rata of 25 cents
q vote was provided.
The intent of the law was to take
the "slush funds" out of politics to
prevent corporation campaign contri-
buttons. Such contributions were pub
lisned.
