as flat cars showing the products of
the north. Governor Lister will be

TERM OF CDIIRT
Made Necessary by the Long Litiga
tion Involving Chisana Claims—
Valdez Term April 20.
Judge F. M. Blown today made an
order postponing the Valdez term of
court, which was called for April 1,
until April 20, and the calling of the
grand and petit juries until sometime
early in May.
The postponement was made neces
sary by the long term at Cordova,
where the cases involving title to val
uable claims in the Chisana have
dragged for several weeks. The cases
will be tried on March 30, when the
court will reconvene In the railroad
town.
Monk’s Vow a Legal Issue.
WASHINGTON. — The Supreme
Court, in a case to be considered next
week, will be called upon to decide
whether the vows of poverty of the
monastic orders of the Catholic
Church in this country are against
public policy, as recently decided by j
the 1'nited States Circuit Court of j
Appeals of the Eighth district. The
case arises out of the death in 1901
of Father Wirth, a inemflSr of the
Order of St. Benedict, while he was
in charge of the German Catholic j
church at Springfield, Minn.
Nearly 50 years before his death he j
took the vows of the Benedictine So j
ciety of chastity, poverty and obedi j
enee, the effect of which was that his
right to possess properly was trans
ferred to the order and that the order
became obligated to educate and sup
port hint for life. At the time of his
death Father Wirlh was in posses
sion of some $5,000, in addition to
royalties from books he had written,
which his superior had permitted him
to retain.
The probate court of Brown county.
Minnesota, recognized his heirs as en -
titled to the property. After a series
of contests with the order, the heirs
succeeded in getting a decision from
the Fnited States Circuit Court to
the effect that the vow of poverty was
against public, policy, and therefore
void. The heirs were held entitled to
the property. The appeal is from this
decision.
Train Reaches Chitina.
The railroad officials succeeded yes
terday in clearing the track of the
Cordova railroad, enabling the puss
age of one train to ChititVh. The train
was loaded witn the passengers who
reached Cordova on the Kvans and the
Northwestern.
