MONEY FOR CHARITY
SENT FROM JAPAN
FavOrs Given DIR. Nakmaura
Here Are Appreciated.

Secretary George S. Wilson. of the
Board of Charities. yesterday received
letter from Richira Nakmaura. a
physician, of NaSasaki. Japan, who was
here year ago to take back a young
Japanese who was confined in the Gov
ernment Hospital for the Insane
The letter inclosed a draft for $11.0
which was rebated by the railroads for
time lost when a wreck on a Western
railroad necessitated making a long de-
tour in order to reach the Pacific Coast
in time to board a boat for the Orient.
For kindness shown the doctor by the
District officials and the tenderness which
was displayed by the attendants at the
hospital for the patient the money was
sent to Mr.. Wilson to be used for chari-
table purposes.
In the letter DE-. Nakmaura said that
the young man had killed himself while
standing in front of his fathers tomb
few days after he reached Japan.

CONTINUE TO FIGHT
MOORE INJUNCTION
Railway May Carry Case to
Supreme Court.

That the kensinCton and Chevy Chase
Lake Railway Company will continue to
fight the injunction of Clarence Moore
against the company's efforts to lay side
tracks on part of Mr.. Moore's land
was the statement last night of one OF
the officers of the company.
The Court of Appeals of Maryland has
handed down a decision sustaining the
lower court in granting Mr.. Moore an
Injunction. The company's attorneys
will probably ask for a rehearing before
the highest court in Maryland. and II
that is not granted the battle may be
carried to the United States Supreme
Court.
The case has attracted much atten-
tipn, among lawyers in general As
we'll as among the lawyers and laymen
who use the company's line. The Court
Of Appeals says. in effect, that the COM
pany's delay of fifteen years in laying
the sidetracks has invalidated its right
to demand that privilege, which arose
out of deed dated September 13, 1894.
between Alfred Ray and Eleanor Ray.
his wife, and the company.
The deed conveys to the company all
claims for damages to the vendors aris-
ing to heirs or assigns for the appropria-
ton and occupancy OF tne land dS de-
scribed for the use of the company. The
property begins at the intersection Of the
railway tracks and Rock Creek. and
runs south to Prince Georges street in
kenSington.
The contention on which the attorneys
will continue to fight TIE case is on what
they claim is the failure of the courts
or the briefs to take sufficient notice OF
the word use in the clause. las may
be required in the construction and use
of said railway"

That members Of q grand jury who

the District Court of Appeals.
The case decided yesterday was that

line about year ago.
Mr.. Poston collected evidence of the
rowdyism and went before az special
grand jury of Alexandria County. Va.
Instead of the corporation being the suf
ferer by the legal proceedings. there
was much astonishment when that body
practically constituted itself a defense
for the conduct of the company and
made severe comments upon MIR. PoSton.
The report of the grand jury was pub
lished in a Washington paper in the
interest Of the company. it was charged.
Mr.. Poston declared that it was grossly
unfair and was designed to hold him up
to scorn and ridicule. He promptly sued
for $4,000 damages. The defendants de-
INJURED to MIR. Poston's amended declara-
ton. the principal demurrer claiming
that the report of a grand jury. was a
privileged communication and could not
be subject matter for libel.
The court below sustained the demurrer.
but was overrulsd yesterday by the
Court OF Appeals. which ordered judg-
ment on the demurrers to be reversed
with costs.

Mystery Surrounding Gibbs Murder
Deepens.

Elizabeth City, N. c., March 13.--
Some members of the coroner's jury
not being satisfied with the investi-
cation made before verdict was rem
dered in the Gibbs murder case,
Coroner Fearing has called the jury
to meet again this afternoon at four
o'clock.
1t is understood that information
has come to members of the jury that
may possibly throw some light on the
case and a more thorough examina-
ton of witnesses is desired. The
opinion constantly grows that Gibbs
was not murdered for robbery. Per
sistent rumors connect certain enc
mics Of the dead man with the crime,
but so far as can be learned evidence
is not sufficient to warrant any ar
rests at this time. No case since the
famous Nellie Cropsey murder has SO
stirred this community and citizens
are aroused with determination to
remove the mystery surrounding the
case and perpetrators Of the cold
blooded crime.

hundred thousand tons of iron ore,

night slid down upon and buried 80
track layers working in the Norman
open pit mine. Only four escaped
the avalanche and three of these are
in a hospital suffering of injuries
that may prove fatal.
Ole Johnson, foreman of one OF
the three changes of men that were
caught by the vast mass, is the only
one whose injuries are not critical.
Arms and legs could be seen at
varying angles as the great lantern
of the steam shovels swung over the
half-flled pit.
An army of men with shovels work
ed desperately to recover the bodies
The work was tedious and difficult.
Women and children ran screaming
to the pit and some fell in while look
ing early for lost friends.
1t will be days before all the bodies
can be recovered and all the parts Of
several may never be assembled. The
mass Of rock and earth ground many
Of them to shreds. The only four men
near the. oEser edge had a chance to
run as the landslide swept into the
hole. So far as can be ascertained all
the men caught in the slide were
Firms and Austrians. Many left large

died month ago, left seven children
orphans. The little ones formed d
