WORK Of HIGHEST
COURT FAR SHORT
OWING TO PRESENCE OF ONLY
SEVEN MEMBERS THIRTY
CASES GO OVER.
NUMBER is UNPRECEDENTED
BUT SOMEWHAT MISLEADING
Many Cases Will Be Heard at Same
Time-Fifteen Involve Constitution
aIity of Corporation Tax, Two for
Dissolution of Tobacco Corporations
Others Against Standard Oil, Etc.

Washington. June 2.-Owing largely
on the bench, thirty cases heard at
this term of the supreme court of the
United Sttaes. which ended this week.
must be argued at the next term. The
number is almost unprecedented, altho
it is somewhat misleading, as many OF
the cases will be heard at the same
time. "
Fifteen cases involving the consti-
tutionality of the corporation tax were
heard as one case, and doubtless will
be so presented at the next hearing.
Two cases involve the question as to
whether the penalty for violating the
twenty eight hour laf for transporta-
ton of livestock shall be determined by
individual shipments or by train.
Two suits are for dissolution of the
tobacco corporations.
Two more cases involve the valid :
ty of indictments for grazing sheep OF
forest reservations without permission
of the government.
Two others are for the use of the
waters Of the Walker river in Cali
fornia and Nevada. and Stlll two more
cases are for the enforcement of the
Oklahoma prohibition laws in inter
state shipments.
Other cases to be re-argued are the
dissolution suit against the Standard
Oil corporation, case involving the
constitutionality of the service law for
railroad employees, and that arising out
of the use of water Of the upper Gila
river in Arizona for irrigation.
Only six cases argued remained
without action upon them when the
court adjourned for the summer. OF
these the only one of general interest
was that involving the rights Of for
warding agencies to demand carload
rates from railroads

Higbee in the circuit court decided
against the city it's suit against the La
Crosse Gas and Electric Company to

No Protectorate Contemplated.
The United States, it was officially
declared today. has no present inten-
ton of assuming a protectorate over
Nicaragua, or in any way intervening
until one faction or the other has OBJ
tanned full control of the government
by consent of the people and is in posi-
ton to meet national and international
obligations.
Insurgents Encouraged.
The forces under Lara are consider
ed the flower of the governments army,
and their abandonment for a time at
least Of the attempt against Bluefelds
has given new courage to the insurg-
ent com1lander. General Lara can
not retreat to any great distance be-
cause of the swanlps by which he is
surrounded and which have been rem
dered impossible by recent heavy
rains. Accordingly it appears the final
issue may be fought out not far from
the present positions Of the contending
armies.

Horse Thieves Captured.

A recent dispatch from Shoshone
says that two men. Charles Vail ana
Ben Lyle. were arrested there by
Sheriff Wheeler and posse on the
Hughes ranch on Little Wood river,
about eight miles north of shoshonc,
charged with horse stealing.
They are wanted at Contact, New.
It is said they admit their guilt.
Lyle made a strong attempt to get
away, jumping into the river when
the sheriff and posse hailed Vail and
himself. Sheriff Wheeler fired at
him twice, one bullet passing through
leg. He is not seriously injured
1t is said that the men have been
operating at that section for some
time. Their plan was to take horses
from Idaho to Contact. Nevada, then
4 sell them there and steal horses there
and bring them here. Word having
come from the officers at Contact
Sheriff Wheeler located the men and
captured them about an hour before
the posse from Contact arrived.
This arrest may lead to the break
