BRIEF IS FILED
IN RAILWAY MAIL CASES
Involves Right of Postmaster Gen
eral to Change Method
Of Pay.

The governments brief was filed to-
day in the Supreme Court of the United
States by Assistant Attorney General
way mail pay cases. which involve
$35.O00,0OO and affect 500 railroads
The cases involve the right of the
Postmaster General to change the
method in adjusting railway mail pay.
Previous to 1907 mail was paid for an
nually on the basis of an estimate made
by actual weighing for 105 days and
dividing the totals by ninety. This
was known as the six-day divisor
After July /. 1907. the whole number
of days was used as a divisor, and this
became known as the seven-day di-
visor. The effect was to reduce the
aggregate compensation Of the rail-
roads about one-seventh.
Only Restrictions Defined.
In the brief filed today the govern
ment maintains that the only restric-
tions placed upon the Postmaster
General by statute were that he must
keep within a maximum compensation
and must weigh the mails for a period
Of not less than ninety days. Other
wise he was at liberty to exercise his
discretion. 1t argues also that the
railroads. having carried mail under
the order OF the Postmaster General,
substituting the later method Of
weighing, cannot now recover damages.
The circuit court decided in favor of
the government. but the roads ap-
pealed.

DISCOVERY OF OYSTERS
OF PREHISTORIC TIMES
Specimens Unearthed in Charleston,
S. c., at Depth of 1000 Feet
Under Ground.

Prehistoric oysters. which fourishad
on the bottom Of the sea when the At
lantic ocean covered the present site
of Charleston. :. e, and probably eN-
tended for nearly a hundred miles far
ther inland. were discovered far down
in the earth when well 1000 feet
deep was recently drilled there, ac-
cording to a report published BY the
geological survey. The engineer In
charge of the drilling operations saved
a complete set of samples Of the ma
teriais uenetrated and sent them to the
Office of the geological survey.
"One of the interesting results of
these studies" says the survey. was
the finding of the shells of oysters and
other marine organisms even down to
the very bottom of the well. all o.
which. except those found within sew
enty-five or eighty feet of the surface,
belong to species which lived during
past ages and are now extinct
Floats Out From Well Bottom.
."rhe shell of one species belonging 70
the oyster family. and known to scien
lists as 'Exogyra upatoiensis stephen
SON was fioated out from the bottom
of the well by the natural flow OF
water The story which this shell tells
is an interesting one to students OF
earth history.
when the oyster was alive the Al
Iantic ocean covered the present site
of Charleston and probably extended
for nearly a hundred miles farther in
land, but the bottom of the sea OH
which it lived was probably not more
than 80 or 100 fathoms deep. The
rivers from the land carried sand ana
mud into the sea and gradually filled
it, but as the filling progressed the sea
bottom slowly sank. Sometimes there
was pause in the sipking. and ~
other times there were even upward
movements which temporarily lifted
the sea fioor entirely out of the water,
but in the main the movements were
until relatively prehistoric
time when an upward movement
caused the strand line to retreat to its
present position.

GERMANS SUSPECT TREACHERY

I'VE can imagine no other reason for

PARIS, April 3, via London. $50 p.m.:
In Belgium the day was marked by ar
tillery engagements.
In the valley of the Aisne and the dis
trict to the east of Rheims our et-
forts, in spite Of the abnormally bad
weather, continued with great act1v-
ity, and we have maintained our
gains between the Meuse and the Mo-
selle in their entirety, while at the
same time we are proceeding TO
make further progress
In the Brule forest we captured Ger
man trench, at the same time taking
a large number of prisoners on this
section Of the front. This was re-
ported last night.
The rains Of the last few DAYS have
soaked the clay soil Of the Woevre
to great depth, rendering dihcult
the movements of artillery and pre-
venting the explosion of shells. Our
troops have consolidated the prog
ress made on the previous day. We
maintained all our advance in spite
of counter attack ks of extraordinary
violence.
At Les Eparges especially the last
German counter attack was carried
out by a regiment and half, and
was completely repulsed.
The enemy sustained enormous losses.
Corpses Of their men covered the
field Three hundred men who mo-
mentarily were able to advance from
the German position were moved
down by our machine guns. Not one
of them escaped.
