BUSH LAW DECISION.
Governor VIII Call Special Session If
1t Is InvaIidated.

Attorney General Jackson has at last
received the full text of the decision
of the United States supreme court in
the custer suits brought by the state
against the Pullman and Western Union
CORPORATIONS. In this decision the YER
dict of the Kansas supreme court is sci
aside and the companies held not maple
to the payment of a charter fee under
the provisions of the state law known
as the Bush act.
The attorney general has not yet
made up his mind whether or not the
adverse decision invalidates the Bush
law under which the state makes all
it's charter fee collections for both for
eign and domestic corporations. me
charter board is holding a meeting TINS
evening to pass upon the matter The
attorney general is a member of the
charter board and that body will be
governed largely by his Interpretation
of the decision. .
Governor Stubs said today that II
the attorney general decides that the
supreme court decision inVahdates the
Bush act then a special session Will
surely be called in order to enact a
new charter law. This matter alone,
would, in the opinion of the governor,
make the calling of a special session
imperative, as the state would lose over
800, 600 in charter fees alone If the Busn
law has been declared imperative.
The entire cost of a special session
would not be as much as the charter
fees that would be lost in one year.

SPRINGS SURPRISE.
Prosecution Holds Plea of Immunity
Confession of Guilt.

New York, Feb. 2.-Henry L. Stimp-
son, special counsel for the govern
ment in the sugar underweighing
prosecutions, surprised the defense to-
day when counsel for Charles r.
Heike, secretary of the American Su-
gar Refining company and five other
defendants, former employees of the
company, appeared to argue their spe-
cial plea of immunity: Heike, in par
ticular, claims that testimony he gave
before the grand jury entities him to
complete amnesty on the underweigh-
ing conspiracy charges.
Mr.. Simpson declared the defend
ants would have to stand or fall by
the issue they thus raised. He was
prepared to go to jury on the truth
the plea and announced that in the
move for sentence of the defendants
without further trial. He held that
the plea of immunity was in effect a
plea of guilty to the indictment.
Counsel for the defense argued at
length against a course they claimed
would be cruel and unjust to their
clients and demanded time to con-
slider what they should do. 1t was
intimated a motion to quash the in
dictment might be = substituted al
though the Armour case in Chicago
was cited as one where a similar issue
was raised and it was held that the
persons were immune, although the
corporation was not.
Judge Martin finally put the whole
matter over to Friday. when, he said,
he might extend the time if the cir
cumStanceS allowed.

OVER FIFTY ARE
 DEAD TN MINE

Delagua, Col, November 9.-Through two openings scarcely 200 yards apart the dead and living were taken from the Delagua mines of the Victor-Amer- ican Fuel company. at the same time, today, but the dead far outnumbered the living Tonight 51 are known to be dead as the result of the explosion yester- day, while IS escaped alive
 R. Akayi, Japanese, after being in- sensible from the effects of the after damp all last night, recovered his sense this morning and found his way to the surface at No. 2 entry. He was dazed and unable to tell through what passage he had come, but was certain that others still lived in the part of the mine he had crossed. The rescue crew followed back from No. entry and soon brought IS others to the surface. Akayl was greeted by a salvo of "banzais by ms countrymen, as he staggered down the hill. Scarcely had the line of rescued men begun to trickle from No. 2 mine when carpenters were called to No. entry to make rough stretchers and II became known that B bodies had been found piled in No. entry. Later, otnet bodies were found in the same section of the mine, which brought the total oi b1. At 10 o'clock tonight 35 bodies had been brought out to thei morgue estap- lished at the machine shops.
 Both living and dead found today were foreigners. Twenty-nine Mexicans were found in one heap. Seven of the de- nartment heads of the mine are known to be buried in a cave-in, 400 feet long, which blocks the main stope. Three shifts are tearing away the debris, but 1t may be days before the bodies are recovered

John S. Gillespy the retiring clerk of the


 city court.
 The application for writ of mandamus, which was filed yesterday in the circuit court, asks that Clerk Gillespy be re- qured to furnish Griffith with the neces- sary certificates in order that he may collect his back salary from the county treasurer. Treasurer II. C. Miller also was made defendant in such a case re- gently and the decision was made by Judge Lane in favor of the treasurer. The case will be appealed according to Sheriff IIigdon, but the filing of a similar suit against Clerk Gillespy has been taken as shorter method.
 The difficulty as to the salary of Deputy Griffith arose out of the dispute as to whether Sheriff Hisdon's appointees were legally entitled to serve as bailiffs in the city court or the bailiffs were to be appointed by the judges of the city court, as provided by special bill passed by the legislature in 1907. Griffith has served as the appointee of Sheriff Higdon since December of 1908. and has been paid his monthly salary by the sheriff, instead of by the county. Sheriff Higdon by insti- tuting his mandamus proceedings seeks to force the payment of the salary by the county.
 The suit Is styled c. A. Griffith vs. John S. Gillespy, and W. K. Terry, Sheriff Higdon's attorney, is counsel for Grif- filth.

SLOSS SHEFFIELD
 PASSES DIVIDEND

New York, November 9.-The directors of the Sloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron com pany today passed a dividend on the common stock, which has been at the rate of one and a quarter per cent quar- terly.
 The company explained its action in statement which set forth the flooding Of two slopes of the company's most im- portant mines which made the entire output of ore from this mine unavailable for eight or nine months. The unavai- able ore, 1t was stated contains lime enough to Aux itself, and the lack of it caused the shutting down of two fur naces and increased the cost of iron produced about sl.50 ton. This, with the existing depression in the iron mar ket," made it seem imprudent to the board to declare this quarterly install- ment of dividend"
 The mine, it is stated is now in con dtion to be operated. The Sloss-Shef- field company Is New Jersey corpora ton and owns and operates valuable ore lands and plants in and around Bir- ningham, Ala. Common shares of the company fell 3 points from Mondays closing on news that the dividend had been passed.
