AVALANCHE KILLS l5O
 AND BURIES A TOWN

of earth on top of the mountain be- came dislodged and started to slide. It gained momentum and was added to as it swept downward with a terrific roar which could be heard in this city, five miles distant.
 Caught like rats in trap the resi- dents of the stricken village had no chance to escape and many were ished homes.
 The latest word from the scene of the disaster stated that it was then estimated 25 families, a total of 75 in- dividuals, had been caught in the slide and that in addition there were 50 men in the construction cars that were bur- jed. Mrs. H. A. Pasco. wife of the superintendent of the Standard Mine, and her son Edgar and daughter Inez, are missing and are supposed to be dead. Edgar Kitterell and wife, with their two babies, Dick MoyeH and Mrs. Laird are also among the miss ing.
 The roar of the descending avalanche gave the warning and so soon as the extent of the slide was known a re- lief party was made up at Mace and every available means was hurried to the scene. According to the reports many of the houses are buried to a depth of 50 feet and it will be a week before a complete list of the victims can be obtained. In order to aid the work of rescue every hardware store proprietor here sent all the shovels he had to the special train and the con- struction shops of the railroads were also relieved of everything that could be used in digging away the slide.

JUDGE WRIGHT LANDS WITH FULL FORCE ON

In An Opinion Requiring Two Hours to Read He Ad- ministers Scathing 'Rebuke to the Upper House

members to appear, and that as pro- vided by law, the case be heard ex parte through the default of the com mittee as a whole.
 Meanwhile the Senate may elect to appear and plead to the merits of the case.
 . In either event it is certain that the case will be appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States on the ques- tion of jurisdiction by the House mem bers of the committee who were d1- rected by the House to take this ac- ton.
 The decision was signed by all the members of the Supreme Court of the District Justice Wright reasoned that the laws of Congress required man daInus proceeding when any citizen makes application to the court for the correction of an alleged wrong. This obligation is imposed, said the court, by Congress, and if it were harsh the fault lay with Congress and not with the court
 "Nor ifs it to be conceived" he said, 'sthat the rights granted a citizen by the laws are to be taken away from him by any department or party of the government, however high. Sena- tors cannot be immune from the ap- proach of the laws process unless it is intended that they are immunce from compliance with the law.
 "That the court should have consid- ered,'' he continued, '.that the laws process do not apply to those who are sued, to whom has happened to have occurred the station of Senator, is in- conceivable. If there is no remedy for a citizen, if such be the law, it Sanc- tions a tyranny which has no parallel in Europe or elsewhere"

Washington, Feb. 2S.-In an opinion Judge Wright of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, today admin istered a scathing rebuke to the United States Senate. He held that the court had Jurisdiction over the actions of the joint committee of Congress on printing because it is constituted by statute. He emphatically advocated, mo person is above the law, no mat ter how exalted his station"
 Justice Wright is the judge who last year sentenced President Gompers and other officials of the American Feder- ation of Labor to jail for contempt of court because they violated the injunc- ton of the district court in the Buck Stove & Range Company case.
 Nearly the entire opinion today was devoted to the Senate resolution which declared that Justice Wright had "'in- vaded the constitutional prerogatives of the Senate in issuing a rule to the members of the joint committee to show cause why a mandamus should not be issued to compel them to con- sider the bid of the Valley Paper Co.,, Holyoke, Mass, to supply paper for government printing.
 The court announced it's willingness to go ahead with the proceeding but Fred B. Rhodes, of the Valley Paper Co. asked until Friday for further pleadings. At that time he will ask that the appearance of the House members of the committee who obey ed the courts order, be disregarded be- cause the Senate had not permitted it's

FAIRFIELD FARMER
 RUNS AMUCK AND
 IMPERILS WORK MEN
DRIVES SPIRITED HORSE THROUGH EARLY MORNING
 CROWD OF TOLERS.
Painfully Iniures One of Would-be Captors and Becomes So Violent That He is Thrust Into Padded Cell.

Charles Reyes. a we'll known farmer of the Danbury road, Fairfield, was stricken suddenly insane for the second time while driving a stylish rig through State street early this morn ing, and after several attempts to force the animal through doors and windows of stores, he was subdued in a fight with several pedestrians that resulted in painful injury to one of them. Growing more violent at the third precinct police station. he was removed to police headquarters, and placed in a padded cell. Later he was transferred to the insane pavilion at Lakeyiew Home.
 Reyes was formerly in the employ of Oliver Gould Jennings in the build ing of roadways on the millionaire's s and several houses on the Danbury turnpike. About two months ago he was stricken insane at his home, and his wife and children became so alarm ed over his condition that they noti- fled Charles s. Fox, the selectnan, who with Sheriff Burr removed him to Lakeview Home. in this city, for safe keeping. He quickly regained his mental poise, and was liberated, ap- parently none the worse for his experi- ence.
 Early today Reyes left home driv4 ing spirited sorrel horse and two wheeled cart. When he reached State street and Fairfield avenue he turned the animal upon the sidewalk and at- tempted to drive into the city on the walks. Many shop hands on their way to work had narrow escapes from being run down as he drove the horse at @ rapid gait along the sidewalks. At length several attempted to seize the driver, and he seized his whip and struck one of them with the butt and inflicted scalp wound. Nearing the third precinct station, his conduct at tracted the attention of the police and Sergeant Coley sent out men to ap- prehend him.
 The rig was placed in Willis stables. Reyes will be detained at Lakeview Home pending the action of the Fair field authorities or of the afflicted mans family.

SENSATIONAL CHARGE AGAINST
 DANBURY SALOON
Remonstrants Against Ro- tello Places Secure Startling Statement from Girl of 16, Now in Industrial School.

The county commissioners have com pleted their hearing on remonstrances against a score of Danbury saloons. All but eight of the remonstrnaces have been abandoned at some stage of the proceedings. Arguments on these eight will be heard in this city at a date to be fixed.
 Some of the evidence which is before the Commissioners is very sensa tional, particularly that against Frank Ro- tello, who conducts saloon or White street and also runs road house, near Brewsters. The remonstrants se- cured the testimony of Rahma o. Hurd a 16 year old girl, who is now an in mate of the Connecticut Industrial school. She says that when she was IA years of age she, in company with other girls of about her age often vis- ited the places owned by Rotello, and there met a number of men. For these offenses she was later sent to the In dustrial school.

Mrs. Bush said that her father-iu- law was one of two heirs, there be- ing another nephew, whose residence is in Holland. They were nepheWs by different brothers. They are the only relatives the dead millionairess had. Mrs Bush said that her father in-law had come to this country when he was a boy, and that he had al- most forgotten his aunt in the old country. When he left Holland the aunt was not rich, but had married wealthy man. The father-in-law had resided in New York, married, and later came to this city to reside with his son, her husband. The news she said seemed too good to be true. The children, she added, were eagerly awaiting the return of their grand father from New York.
 In talking over the possibilities Of the estate, last evening, MT. Bush had told the family that though he had almost forgotten his aunt, he remem- bered that she had married a veal thy land owner, and that he had q cousin on the other side, the son of his only uncle, who was the only re'a- tive he had living on his fathers side.

Dr. Clark, 30 Years in Africa, Addresses Laymen's Mis- sionary Conference A The Great Awakening Among Asiatic People = Big Meet ing Tonight, in the North Church.

Christian missions in Africa are sad ly neglected. There is one convert to Christianity on that continent for every hundred converts to Mahomet This was the cheerless message that Rev. Joseph Clark brought to the Lay mems Missionary convention, in the North church this morning. The good doctor has spent 30 years of his life In Africa, attempting to spread the light of the Gospel. He regretted to be unable to report for Africa the pro- gress that has been made by the mis- sions of his faith in China and India.
 Tonight Dr. Clark will throw further light upon the need of Christian work, by an illustrated lecture, which will include an impartial statement of the Congo atrocities, and pictures perti- nent to that subject which has so long agitated civilized nations.
