B. Browne of this city has presented a petition to the supreme court of the United States for a writ of certiorari bringing to that court for review the case of the Great Northern Railway company vs. the United States. This case is a prosecution against the rail- road company on the charge of grant- ing rebates, on which charge it was found guilty in the United States district court for the district of Min- nesota and the verdict was approved by the United States court of appeals for the Eighth circuit. The case, pre- sents many interesting phases the most important of which is the fact that in its defense the railroad com- pany makes the assertion that the Elkins law, under which a fine was imposed, was repealed by -the Hep- burn railroad rate law, which im- posed a. penalty of imprisonment for | the offense. If the court grants the motion to bring the case before it for consideration this question will be developed at length. DOOM OF THE SKYSCRAPER Drastic Legislation Proposed in New York City. New York, Nov. 12—The doom of the modern skyscraper has probably been sounded in this city by drastic regulations which have been adopted unanimously by -the building code commission. These regulations pro- vide that after Jan. 1 next no new buildings shall be over 250 feet in height. The new law is.aimed to stop the feverish race for the con- struction of high buildings. That a limit must be fixed somewhere has been the advice of noted fire under- writing experts and Fire Chief Croker himself has sounded the warning. The fire insurance interests have fear- ed that the forty-one-story Singer building might be followed next by a fifty-story structure. That the new regulation will be passed by the board of estimate and the aldermen before it finally becomes a law is regarded as likely. FACES A TERRIBLE FATE. Entombed Miner Awaiting Certain Death by Starvation. Mahonoy City, Pa., Nov. 12.—Alive and unhurt, but in darkness that will never be lifted, Michael McCabe, a miner, is awaiting certain death by starvation 800 feet below the sur- face of the earth in the Draper col- llery near here. ‘While McCabe was at work he fired a blast that blew away one of the mine pillars, He fled in the wrong direction and got into a blind shaft. A fellow workman managed to get out of the wing of the colliery before the roof caved in. § The mine breach extends to the surface, where it yawns sixty feet wide, right in front of McCabe’s home, where his wife and six chil- dren vainly hope for his rescue. Mine officials say it may be a year before it will be possible to reach the place where the man is shut up. MYSTERY STILL UNSOLVED Double Tragedy In Millionaire’s Home May Never Be Cleared. New York, Nov. 12—The mystery surrounding the tragedy which result- ed in the death of John Bjorlin and the possibly fatal shooting of Paul G. | Thebaud, Jr., the seventeen-year-old son of the millionaire broker, may never be cleared. That Bjorlin, who was butler and confidential man in the magnificent country home of the Thebauds in White Plains, where the tragedy occurred, shot his emiployer's son while the latter was sleeping and then killed himself is apparent. Ab- solutely nothing as to what led to the act, however, has yet been Jearned. The only person who may be able to throw any light on the case {g young Thebaud and it is mot at all certain that he ever will re- cover consciousness. SAID TO BE INSOLVENT Receiver Asked for Consolidated Arizona Smelting Company, CAPITALIZED AT $17,000,000 Officers of the Concern Are Fighting the Petition and Assert That the Company’s Assets Are Far in Ex- cess of the Liabilities.

Cleveland, Nov. 12.—After numerous postponements of the trial Mrs. Char- lotte Phillips finally appeared before Justice Brown in East Cleveland to answer to the charge of second degree murder in causing the death of her husband, J. J. Phillips, a widely known coal operator. Phillips was shot early on the morning of Sept. 2 last. According to the statement of Mrs. Phillips her husband was killed by a burglar who had gained access | ‘to their home. -Owing to conflicting statements made by Mrs. Phillips and her adopted daughter Ethel, who was in the house when the shooting oc- curred, the authorities discredited the burglar theory and as a result Mrs. Phillips was eventually charged with the crime. Ethel Phillips, fourteen years old, the adopted daughter, testified that after Phillips was taken from the stair | landing to his bed neither he nor his wife or lherself speke a word for nearly three hours, when Phillips asked that a wet cloth be placed on the wound in his neck.
