IS UP A STUMP
Cannot Find Way by Which They
Can Control the Lines Once
Forming Harriman Merger.
Washington, 1). C., Jan. 7.
The Supreme Court frowns upon
the plan of the Union Pacific
Railroad company to divide the
shares of the South Pacific Rail
way among its shareholders,
which again places the parties to
t.he Harriman merger at sea, there
being apparently no way left for
them to continue the several lines
listed in the merger as an entity
to be controlled from one foun
tain head.

Seattle, Jan. 7.—The failure of
a west bound freight on the Nor
thern Pacific railway to give her
clearance' was the cause of a fa
tal collision with No. (>, eastl
bound passenger, n *ar Thorp,
causing the death of Engineer
O’Daniels, of this city, who stuck
to his post and saved the lives
of his passengers by applying the
emergency brakes. Both engines
were badly smashed. A heavy
snowfall is blockading traffic on
all the transcontinental lines,

CATHOLIC PARTY
AGAINST KAISER
Centrists’ Threat to Desert Beth
mann-Hollweg .Jeopardized
His Reichstag Majoriyt.
Merlin, Jan. 7.—(iermany's
2 5,00(1,000 Homan Catholics are j
on | he threshold of a controversy
with the Kaiser’s government,
which, according to their official
spokesman, presages a bitter re
newal of Bismarck's “Knltur
kainpl"’ crisis and is pregnant
with the most vital consequen
ces to the security of Belhmann
Hollwegg’s Chancellorship.
The Homan Catholic Centre j
Party, together with the Conserv- j
atives, constitute the only reliable j
parliamentary majority at the
Chancellor's disposal. If the
Centrists, as they now openly
threaten, declare war on Beth
mann-llollweg, his position will |
be perilous in the extreme. !
The Chancellor has promptly
taken up the Catholic challenge, j
according to an “inspired” mani- i
festo, and an outbreak of open;
hostilities Would seem to lie ini-'
mincnt.
On his last trip over the sum
mit on New Year’s eve Parke
Oriswold spent four hours of
the waning year helping a man
named Paulson, of Fairbanks,
from the Canyon to Wort,mans.
It appears that Paulstin was driv
ing a private rig and becoming
confused as to the trail, his horse
slid down to the river. Paulson,
in attempting to get his horse
back to the road, became exhaust
ed. Parke had passed him with
the stage early in the evening and
on finding that he had not reach
ed Wortmans, started back in
search of him. It took four hours
to get the old man back to the
roadhouse.

LAYMAN KILLED
OK THE
Falls Down 90-Foot Shaft, Break
ing His Nook and Causing
Instant Death.
Billy Williams, a layman on
Billy Armstrong’s claim on the
left limit of No. CO below discov
ery, Bonanza, fell down the full
length of a 90-foot shaft on the
claim at 8:45 o’clock this morn
ing and was killed instantly. Ilis
neck was broken. Evidently he
went headlong in the dizzy plunge
and landed on the back of the
neck.
Billy Williams was 27 years old
and a native of Wales. He had
been in this country live or six
years, and was spoken of by thos 2
who knew him as a tine young
man. 'He and Mark Watson, Gus
Lind and Andy Carlson took a lay
on the Armstrong ground a short
time ago, and were starting up
this morning to take their llrst
bucket of gravel from the shaft
where the accident occurred—

COAL CLAIMANTS
HAVE A CHANCE
Then- is si ill hope for many
of the Alaska coal claimants,
with a new adminisl rat ion com
ing in next March.
"With the exception of the
Cunningham claimants,” said
Receiver Hoyle of the United
Stales land office at Juneau, “not
a single Alaska applicant who
has paid his fees and liis pur
chase money has been finally re
jected."
The sum of $3511,1)00, paid as
purchase money for coal claims
to which lilies have not been
granted, is now held by the gov
ernment. Contrary to the gen
eral impression, this money has
not been declared forfeited, and
if the claims are ultimately re
jected, may be paid bark to the
claimants.
