THREE JUDGES TO TRY CASE

An agreement between conflict
Jig claims and interests was
r cached today that . is Of real i'm
portance in The history of Gold
field. This involves what is and
has been probably the most I'M
portant litigation in the expert
ence Of the Esmeralda courts and
what will probably mean the ter
mination Of the various suits
growing out of the leases operated
on the Moha ~k property.
This afternoon, a little after 2
o'clock. Mr.. Henry M. Hoyt,
representing the Goldfield Consli.
dated Mines company. and Senator
Henry V. Morehouse, representing
the d. Mackenzie interests appear
ed in Judge Somers' chamber and
ask that the several suits pending
ia that court in which their resprc-
tive clients are opposed be tried
by three Judges, subject Of course, to
their consent. These are Judge Orr
of Washoe and Judge Taber Of Elko,
sitting with Judge Somers of his
district. Somers was favorable to
the agreement. The hearings will
begin May 22.
The litigation involves the
claims for damages on the part If
the Consolidated growing out of
caving Of the Mohawk property
while operated under lease, except
the suit now pending in the
Supreme Court. 1t also includes
the cases involving conflicting
claims on account Of high grade
ore taken from the mine during
the operation of the lease.
The legal formalities of the
agreement in relation to the trial
of these cases will probably be per-
fccted tomorrow, when the
Tribune will be able to present
the matter in detail. - Goldfield

Kneosha. Wisconsin, is going to
have q crop of twisted and de-
formed chickens this year and II is
said to be due to the recent cx-
plosion at the powder mills at
Pleasant Paririe. Chickens
batched in the incubators since
the explosion are singularly de.
formed. More than SO per cent
have twisted legs, broken wings
and similar ailments. ard while
many Of them are still living, It is
thought that the loss will be
unusually large.

DON'T LIKE THE LAW

A certain girl who was little
more than a child worked in a
corporations factory in New
Jersey. In the course of her labor
her arm was caught in the machin-
cry and torn from her at the
shoulder. Being thus handicapped
in the race of life, she brought an
action for damages and the trial
court awarded her $17,5OO. Then
the cooperation. acting upon the
glorious and never-forgotton
corporation principle that is best
to wear a poor claimant cut in the
courts, appealed the case to the
Spreme Court and that learned and
profound body reversed the de-
clsion of the lower court or the
ground that-but let the Philadel-
phia Evening Telegraph make the
ground clear. in the following:
"A photograph had been intro
duced at the trial. The photo
graph was the picture of the
plaintiff in her confirmation dress,
and the learned judges decided
that it was irrelevant; being
irrelevant, it should not have
been admitted. and being ad-
mitted. it nullified all the pro-
ceedings of the court bearing upon
the negligence and responsibility
of the company"
So, the wrrng picture having
been admitted in evidence the girl
might go through life manned
unified for the struggle with
starvation forever as a next door
neighbor. Unfortunate of course
but the wrong picture should have
been kept out of the record.
We suppose that this is law. for
who are we to oppose the decision
of Supreme Court? Yes it is
law but deepest hell might have
chucklediwhen it first was recorded
in statute books or decision. If
law has no recompense for those
who are irppled in the service of
capita! then it were better if the
poor waged their unequal battle
without law. One need but think
of that 9orlorn and manned child
left to go her crippled way and one
must realize that this is so.
Verify the New Jersey Supreme
Court announced the law and we
do not dispute it but damn such
laws. F. Star.

NIGHT OF TERROR
IN 4 SNOWSLIDE

An Oakland dispatch Of the 5th
says:
Rescued from a grave of snow
and the timbers Of q demolishcd
cabin. where she lay pinned sixty
hours beside the dead body of her
husband. with her shepherd dog
keeping her awake by licking her
face and barking, Mrs. Agnes
Mason is at the Fabiola hospital
convalescinH from the serious i'll
ness which followed.
The slide which killed Mason
came laundering down from the
smooth granite slopes of the Sierra
in Mono county, wiped out the
new power plant of the Hydro
Electric company and the six
cabihs surrounding it and killed
six men besides Mason.
81 don't know how or when il
happened" said Mrs. Mason to-
night. "Shep, the dog. awakened
me. and l found that l could not
move. called to my husband.
but he did not answer. My right
arm was pinned across my chest.
My right knee and heel were across
my husband. l found that l could
move my head a little. but when
raised my face an inch an a half
struck the timbers of what had
been the roof of our cabin. How
| knew that my husband was dead,
l cannot tell. The snow was every
where about. but the heat of the
dog an my own breathing made it
warm and l did not suffer from
the cold.
But when my husband grew
cold beside me-then l knew"
and. the tears came to her eyes.
81 talked to Shep and he tried to
talk back. He whined and howled
and barked and scratched at TIE
sno" and at the ii mhers.
81 must have been unconscious
at times. for it didn't seem long
before l heard men walking on the
snow overhead. called as loud
as could and told Shep to bark.
You should have heard him.
Quickly they dug down where we

eight feet deep overhead.
well. they got US out at last.
We had to stay there in the shanty
several days while twenty men
were breaking a read through the
snow to Bodie. They built a sled
and carried me to the Conw ay
ranch where we had doctor. My
grandfather, Henry Thornton. was
notified, and he came up from
Arizona and arranged for me to
come here"

PHELAN MAY JOIN
THE NATIONALS
Chicago Cubs Only Obstacle
in Way of Deal.
Special to The Washington H.rnd

Special TO The Washington Herald
Cincinnati, Ohio. Dec. H-President Au-
gust Hermann, OF the Cincinnati base
ball club, has agreed to sell Third Base
man Phelan, who was farmed out to Bir-
mingham last year, to Washington II the
Chicago club valves claim to him Other
wise he will go to the Cubs. The Chicago
club has been slow about letting go Of
Phelan.
Griffith, it is said, needs a third base
man at Washington as badly as he needed
a shortstOp while at the helm OF the
Cincinnati club. There Is some opposi-
ton TO Phelan being relinquished by the
Reds, for some of the fans think he
should be given a chance to show before
being carted away to help out Griffith.
Phelan's record at Birmingham last
year was very good. 1t is also reported
that Hermann is to sell Infielder Tom
Downey to the Buffalo club, and these
two trades, taking away, as they do, two
infielders from the Reds, have stirred up
some OF the fans. Phelan proved him
self pinch hitter at Birmingham, as
we'll as a good utility inf1elder, and the
fans cannot understand why such
player as he should be- sent away when
the team is in an experimental stage and
just under the control OF a new manager.

Eight Games Scheduled :,
Before Season Starts
Nationals to Play Yale and Three Other College
Teams-Grif Hires Secretay-Other
Sporting Comment.
BY WILLIAM PEET.

Manager Clark Griffith, Of the Ma
tionals, has already arranged eight games
to be played before the opening Of the
American League season next April. He
still has three open dates, April ], 2, and
g. and will likely play the Montreal club,
Of the Eastern League, on one Of them.
Another date may go to Baltimore. The
University Of Vermont management has
written for a game, and the third open
date may be allotted to them.
If the Vermonters are obtained, the
Nationals will meet four college teams
next spring. Yale University will play
here on April 6, Georgetown on March
q, and before the Nationals leave Char
lottesville a real game will be played on
the college campus.
Grifith figures that with twelve exhibit
ton games, the Nationals will be up
against first-class pitching, and right on
edge for the opening game Of the season,
which will probably be April IL
The Phillies are expected to give the
Nationals a couple OF mighty stin bat
ties, as they will be headed for the
Quaker CITY and primed for the ante
season series with the Athletics.
Manager Griffith was on the job at
headquarters bright and early yester-
day morning. He engaged a secretary,
Miss Lena Lindtg, who Will also act IN
the capacity OF stenographer. looked
through his mail, and dictated a few
letters.
While the writer was chatting with
Griffith, the telephone bell rang. and a
voice at the other end of the wire
wanted to know II Griff would sell the
angora goat which arrived from Mon
tana last Saturday. The manager re-
piled: NO: you couldn't buy him for
$500; he's my mascot
Turning to the writer. Griff said:
What do you know about that: every
body wants to buy the goat. The i'm
preston seems to prevail that 1 want to
get rid of the animal. He has already
cost me about SO. and goodness knows
how much more he will set me back
before the season opens"
In another column appears a special
dispatch from Cincinnoti. stating that
the Nationals Will get InfieIder Phelan, |
a promising youngster.
Griff was asked about the matter, and |
replied: Yes: l want Phelan, and tried |
to get him, but both Chicago and Bos- |
ton refused to waive on him, and |
hardly think l can get him out of the |
National League. It's a cinch I'll never |
get him now, the thing has leaked |
out"

DRAINAGE SYSTEM
TO BE INSTALLED
Georgetown Field Will Be
Greatly Improved.

Now that the Georgetown field is being
plowed. the much-talked-of drainage
system which is 10 be installed at the
Hilltop is to be put into operation Pat
Dempsey is in charge of the work and
under his supervision it is expected that
Georgetown will have :, drainage system
as good any college in the country.
For a good many years the drainage of
the field has been a topic of much dis
Cussion among those in charge of ath-
letics at the Hilltop, and it was thought
that this is the opportunity of beginning
work, since the field is being thoroughly
plOwed.
Pat Dempsey has his own views in re-
gard to the drainage, and it seems that
his views in regard to this department
are by far the best that has so far been
offered, and it is expected that his plans
will be carried out from beginning to
end. 1t is Dempseys Intention, after the
field has been thoroughly plowed, to
haul several loads of loom and to raise
the center of the field about eight inches
Then Dempsey intends to have at each
corner Of the field a drain pipe so, by
having the center of the field little
higher than the level, the water is bound
to run off into these pipes. This seems
TO be ths best plan that has been offered
and when one considers the manner in
which this plan has been thoroughly
mapped out, they are of the opinion that
Georgetown need not worry relative to
the condition of their field after a big
rainstorm.
Another thing that will be done now
is that all of the stands will be moved
back against the wall, rext to the con-
vent

WALTER HERRELL MAY
JOIN THE A THLETCS

Walter Herrell the local twirler, who
was given a chance by the Nationals last
year and was sent to the Johnson City
club, in Tennessee. may be given try
cut by Connie Mack next spring.
HerreIl is not on the reserve list of the
Nationals, so if he is able to get his re-
lease from the Johnson City team he will
he able to join the Athletics next spring
on their training trip.
Pitching on the sand lots of the Dis
trict, Herrell made d strikeout record
which has not been equaled to date, that
of tanning twenty-three batters in
regulation nine-inning game. Not only
in this one game did Herrell pitch gilt
edge ball, but in every game he worked
he had the opposing batters guessing.
and his continual good work earned him
a try-OUt with the Nationals.
Herrell pitched to the batters for Sew
eraI weeks in morning practice, and at
last was showed in a game after the
White Sox had knocked Bob Groom and
Dolly Gray off the mound. To stop a
heavy hitting aggregation like the Sox
Is no easy task, and while Herrell was
hammered hard by the major leaguers,
he did not show up so bad. 1t was
earned last night that Connie Mack was
sitter the yOunEster, and 1t is more than
likely that HerrelI will work out with the
Athletics next spring.

| Special to The Washington Herald.
| New York, Dec. H.-There will be nc
big baseball war after ALL The annual
meeting of the National League adjourned
this afternoon without the slightest Off
cial notice having been taken of the
American Leagues attitude of hostility
as declared IN the resolution adopted on
Tuesday. After a most spirited debate,
the National League moguls agreed that
they could not understand the spirit of
the communication, so it was laid on the
table to die of neglect with the ticket
scalping scandal and all other unpleasant
| subjects.
Charles H. Ebbetts, the Brooklyn i'm
presario, stood out for war to the hilt.
but, as is usually the case, the owner of
the Dodgers was talked down and sat
upon.
Every one Of Ebbetts' pet hobbies were
tossed into discard. and he himself Vas
denied the distinction of even an humble
position on any of the various Commit
t2es, besides being deprived OF the privi-
lege of concentrating the discovery OF
America by his annual Columbus Day
festivities.
The National League season OF 1872 will
start on or near April IL, and will close
on or near October 6. The National
League followed the lead of its contem-
porary by ratifying the majority OF re-
quests submitted by the board Of arbi-
tration OF the National Association and
the prospective Glass IA leagues relative
to the amendment OF the peace agree
ment
President Thomas Lynch and August
Hermann were empowered to make such
changes in these recommendations in
dorsed by the National League as might
be deemed advisable when the peace
agreement is ratified at the annual meet
ing of the national commission,
A resolution offered by Barney Dreyfuss
amends the league constitution relative
to the division of worlds series money.
Hereafter % per cent OF the worlds Sc
ries spells that fall to the National
League champion viii be turned over to
the league exchequer. Probably this will
be added to the 10 pc cent tax which is
supposed to nave been maintained as a
war fund ever since peace with the
American League was established.
The following committees were ap-
pointed:
ConstitutIon-John T. Brush, August
Hermann, and William Locke
Schedule-Barney DreyfUss chairman
John A. Heydler, and Thomas ]. Lynch.
Rules-John NJ. Ward, Roger Bresna-
han, and Umpire Bob Emslie.

tonight, and IL is predicted that to-mor-

abreast of the best marks.
The Americans are doing most Of the
sprfhting. the Germans apparently being
content to follow along behind. Kramer
and Clark set the pace most of the day.
An empty beer bottle hurled from the

came near throwing Lorenz and Saldow
out of the race this morning.
More than hundred fans and a score
of special policemen are suffering from
bruises as a result of a riot, when an
attempt was made to run all the spec

to pay their way back again. Three
fans resisted the efforts OF the policeman
and it was necessary to call out the re-
