PRINCE IS DEXTROUS,
HIS BROTHERS ASSERT
Counts de Bearn Ask U. S.
Supreme Court to Dismiss
His Appeal.

Weary of the dexterity of their brother
in taking appeals Count Francois de
Bearn, Count Odon de Bearn and Count
Pierre de Bearn of France today asked
the Supreme Court of the United States
to dismiss the latest appeal by Prince de
Bearn from attachment proceedings begun
by the brothers against the prince in the
Maryland state courts.
The counts have been suing the prince
for years for money alleged to have
been advanced and loaned him upon
his note. Joined with them in the liti-
cation is Jean Baptiste Chamuet,
sold the prince a large amount Of
jewelry upon the eve of the marriage
of the prince to Miss Winans Of Bal
timore June %, 1905.
Seek to Attach Bonds.
The counts and the jeweler seek to at
tach railroad bonds left by the princess
father to her children, but which were
held after her death to belong to the
prince. One set Of appeals in the cases
was dismissed by the Supreme Court April
s. 1912. but the prince found a way to
get another set to the Supreme Court.
The prince is charged with delaying dock
citing his appeals until the last moment
last spring so that the appeals could
not be dismissed before the summer re-
cess.
To get even for the delay the counts
and the jeweler ask the court to add
IL per cent damages.
Justice Hughes Of the Supreme Court
today refused to grant an application for
a review of the conviction of William
]. Cummins on a charge of larceny from
the Carnegie Trust Company Of New
York.
Arguing Rate Case.
With the statement that the court had
decided so often that the reasonableness
Of rate wis for the interstate commerce
commission and not for the courts. Chief
Justice White today stopped attorneys for
the government when they started out to
defend the reasonableness of the 81 rate

board.
He said it was not necessary for them
to argue that point The attorneys then
took up other points Of attack made by
the railroads against the commission
order.
Blackburn Esterline. for the govern
ment, said the railroads from California
were complaining that Florida railroads
hauling lemons were given better rates,
while the Florida railroads in another
case before the court complained that
the California railroads were given better
rates than they. He asked who was

designer procured two vessels OF about
eighty tons each and laid along their
bottom foundation of brickwork.
Upon this he erected marble cham

tons of gunpowder. while on the top of
this chamber was n six foot layer OF
gra vestones placed edgewlse. A marble
roof rose over these. and upon Il was
