The absentee" statute of MaSsachu-

adopted some other method Of trying
out their identity rights, Justice
Holmes said the court would no longer

Contract With United States.

Mr.. Perry claimed tho charter of the
Capital Traction Company constituted a
contract between the United States and
the Capital Traction Company, on the
faith of which. he said. great numbers
OF people had invested in the company $
stocks and bonds. Congress. he urged.
could no more impair the obligation of a
contract than could an Individual.
Counsel went back to the declaration of
the bill of rights and the framing of the
Constitution. He pointed out that while
in state constitutions there was an in
hibtion against the enactment of legisla-
tion impairfng and infringing the obliga-
tion of contracts, in SO far aS the United
States Congress was concerned il was not
necessary TO have this inhibition. because
its power to enact Legislation is that con-
ferred by the Constitution.
In the course of his argument Mr..
Perry denied the right of Congress TO re-
quire universal transfers the ground
that il had no such right under the Con-
stitution. In support of his argument he
quoted the language of Alexander Hamil-
ton, and dwelt strongly upon the words
of Justices Strong, Bradley and. Field in
the sinking fund case in the United States
supreme Court.

MEET DEATH IN MINE
BY POWDER EXPLOSION
Nine Men Killed and Fifteen
Others Imprisoned at
Harrisburg, III.

HARRISBURG. Ill. October 23.-Nine
men were killed. ten gravely wounded
and carried up by rescuers, and fifteen
more were imprisoned by a cave-in as a
result of an explosion of keg of powder
which ignited black damp today in O'Gara
mine No. Q, a mile south of here. That
more lives were not lost was due to the
fact that the shift was changing when
the explosion occurred.
Two men were instantly killed, and
seven others sent to the surface died
within an hour. The detonation Of the
explosion warned the town that an acci-
dent had occurred, and the fears of the
wives and children of the miners were
confirmed when they saw two ambulances
rushed toward the mine, followed in a
few minutes by an automobile containing
physicians and nurses.
Miners Mostly Americans.
Most of the miners employed by the
O'Gara Coal Mining Company of Chicago
are Americans. The mine is one of sew
eral owned in the field near here by the
company.
After the rescuers had brought up the
dead and wounded they attempted to
reach the men caught behind the cave-in,
but were driven back by gases.
