Lien of Those Who Furnish Labor and Materiai—Verdict Awarding Damages Affirmed. Among the opinions handed down late yesterday afternoon by the Court of Ap- peals was the following: United States of America to the Vermont Marble Company, against August Burgdorf and George A. Shehan, appellees; opinion of the lower court reversed. The appellees were sure- ties upon the bond of W. W. Winfree, a contractor, who agreed to erect an amuse- ment hall at the Soldiers’ Home for $64,000, the amount of his bond being $25,000. His material was purchased from the Vermont Marble Company, but, he failing to make certain payments that were due, proceed- ings were taken in court to recover from the bondsmen. The jury in the trial court was directed by the presiding judge to re- turn a verdict for the defendant. = =aSaet the use of appellant, eos prom 8 so eta vec mm Tn commenting upon the case Mr. Justice |@ Kneessi’s—Headquarters for Shepard, who wrote the opinion, among i Leather “Gifts!” i other things, said: i = a H “The claims of those who furnished lIa- | = = bor and materials in the construction of : Beautiful : buildings for private owners have for many | 2 : c i vith 3} yor by : icgisiatures. ‘The evils aring trom tat | Sterling Silver-Mounted } ures, and sometimes frauds, of contractors and owners were considered so serious and wide-reaching as to require remedy upon considerations of sound public policy; and statutes conferring special rights of lien upon improved property were generally en- acted by the states and have been continued in force, with a tendency rather toward the extension of their scope. Congress long since adopted the same general policy in its legislation for the District of Columbia. “This idea of public policy, however, was not stretched to the extent of giving such liens upon public buildings; other import- ant considerations stood In the way. The evils, therefore, that were in part remedied through legislation in respect of private building and contracts remained and in- creased in proportion with the enormous public works in which the United States is constantly engaged until the statute here- inafter recited was enacted, with the in- tent to meet and mitigate them, “The, obligation of this statute falls di- rectly Upon the person to whom a contrac’ shall have been awarded as a condition precedent to his entry upon its performance. It commands him to execute a bond with sufficient sureties, conditioned, in addition to the faithful performance of his contract, that h= shall promptly make payments to all persons supplying labor or matertal in the prosecution of the work. The practical effect of this statute is to confer a special Hen in favor of such persons.” Decisions Affirmed. Other opinions were: United States, appellant, against John C. Groome, appellee; decision of ‘the lower court affirmed; opinion written by Mr. Jus- tice Shepard. Suit was entered in the court below by Groome to recover $2,500 from William F. Rosborough and Frederick 8. Coburn, claimed to be due on certain notes held by Groome against the defendants as partners in a drug store at the southwest corner of {ith street and New York avenue.

Austere and repelling, the Alaskan coast raises a grim barrier between the prospect- ors and the golden wealth that is supposed to Me in the famous Copper river country. The snow and ice-covered summits tower toward a sky that is alw gloomy. Wh a gale is not sweeping these mount&in tops fleecy flakes are piling on top of the snows of centurles. On these heights there is no peace. The elements always are at war. The barrier would not be surmountable were it not for the Valdes pass. Even that, with its mighty glacier and treacherous crevasses, is fearfully dangerous. But it is the only way through. The Valdes pass lies to the west of the Klondike and Skaguay trails. At its high- est point It is 4,680 feet above tide-water. To reach its barren summit a continuous upward climb of twenty-four miles must be made. The descent is about twelve miles in_length. Every man who starts to cross the glacier is warned by the guides to make his pack as small and as light as possible. Searcely any, however, starts who is not too heavily loaded. The guides cannot make newcom- ers understand and apprehend the difiicul- tles to be encountered. There is more in the journey than mere mountain climbing. Until the summit 4s reached it is a constant up-hill struggle, in biting wind or falling show, over slippery ice, scaling the “bench- es” or cautlously sounding for hidden cre- vasses, which vary in width from mere cracks to fifty feet. The snow covers their tops with thin and treacherous bridges, which are likely to give way when siepped upon, and if they do the unfortunate goes to the bottom, be it far or near. Under- neath the white covering are often abyss- mal depths, where le dead men who have undertaken to cross the glacier without guides. One wrong step caused them to plunge through the snow-crust, and from visions of glittefing gold they passed into dreamless sleep in graves whose walls of ice and rock rise hundreds of feet above the poor, lacerated bodies.
