LOUIS, March 8.—Judge Phillips in the United States Court of Appeals today decided against Cella, Adler & Tilles of St. Louls in their effort to | overthrow: the merger of the United Raflways and Transit Company. The suit, brought originally in the State ' courts and then transferred to the Fed- eral court, was directed aghinst Brown Bros. of New York, who brought about the merger. It sought to overthrow the tripartits agreement between Brown Bros., the United Railways and the Transit Company, by which five | shares of Trensit stock were to be ex- changed for two of United Raflways, | the stockholders also putting up money | to pay the indebtedness of the transit company. . | Cella, Adler & Tilles, stockholders of { the Transit Company, refused to enter | the agreement and alleged misrepre- sentations against Brown Bros.

F. Englebright for Con- irst District. The Daily Miner- ript thus comments on the in- dorsement: This county is for W. F. Englebright for Congress and we should let it be known in all quarters. It ‘will strengthen the delegation in the convention to have it known as an absolute fact everywhere that its choice for | Congress is backed by the whole-souled sup- port of the entire county. And now let s not leave this candidacy to the unaided efforts of the county central committee. Let all of us begin 4 work for our candidate. Let us write to influentlal friends in other districts and urge them to assist ug in securing this nomination. And then, when the convention meets, the name of W. F. Englebright will go before it with strong support from all parts of the district and he will be nominated. The nomination, we all know, will mean election. Many citizens of Humboldt County are entertaining the hope that Con- gressman Gillett may recede from his decision to become a candlidate for the gubernatorial nomination and accept further service in Congress as the rep- | resentative of the First District. The marine interests of Eureka are very important and the people there fancy that such intercsts would be safer in the keeping of a Congressman halling from Humboldt than they would be in the hands of a representative of the district who dld not fully comprehend and keenly appreclate the requirements of the port. GILLETT’S FINAL DECISION. There is an impression now. that Mr. Gillett lrtas made a final decision and will not allow his name to be pre- sented to the Congressional convention of the district. The mining or moun- tain counties will surely make an active contest for the nomination of some one who is in direct sympathy with the mioing interests. The indorsement of Mr. Englebright by the Nevada Gounty Republican central committee signifies that his candidacy will bé formidable. In the Democratic camp there is some talk of putting Judge Raker of Modoc in the fleld as a candidate for Con- gress, It is gossip in Republican circles that D. E. McKinlay of the Second, Joseph R. Knowland of the Third, J. C. Need- ham of the Sixth and James McLach- lan of the Seventh are sure of renom- ination. * E. A. Hayes of the Fifth, Ju- lius Kahn of the Fourth and 8. C. Smith of the Eighth may encounter opposition in their respective district conventions. There are indications that 'the Demo- crats, with such allles as they mmay be able to enlist, will put up strong fights in the First, Second and Fourth dis- tricts. The Republican leaders, how- ever, are quite confident of the party's ability to maintain the solid delegation from California. SHINE MAY STEP OUT. Reports to the effect t..at Orrin 8. Hen- derson of Stockton is a candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor are misleading. He is a candidate, however, for renomination as Rallroad Commi: sioner, Third District. Mr. Henderson' is past grand master of the Masons in California and is second vice president of. the Commercial Travelers’ Assoclation. He seems to be slated for the presidency of the California League of Republican clubs to succeed Ferd K. Rule of Los Angeles. It appears to be an open question whethér John H. Shine, United States Marshal, Northern District of California, ‘will be reappointed for another term. He was had two terms jof four years each. The salary attaching to the position is $4000 per annum. Among the candldates for the -office is State Senator Clifford Cogglns. It is said that the patronage in this respect is at the disposal of Senator Perkins. - X The number of employes connected with the San Francisco office 1s given in Report was C1SCO CALL, FRIDAY, MARCH 9, 1906. FAMILY LOST IN-BLIZZARD' Discovery of Bodies of Moth- er and Three Children Unfolds a Pitiful Tale WOMAN GIVES UP LIFE —_— Starts Out in Quest of Her Loved Ones, Who Perish a Few Feet Away From Her R Special Dispatch to The Call, CHEYENNE, Wyo., March 8—A pa- thetic story of a mother's heroism and of her love for her two little children ig re- vealed in the story that has just reached here from Harrison, Neb., across the State line. The finding on Saturday last of the body of Mrs. Ciinton Metz, lying in a snow bank frozen stiff, followed on Sun- day by the discovery of the bodies of her two little children aged 7 and 9 years in another bank of snow not far from the | spot where the devoted woman's body was discovered, told this story of the | tragedy that occurred during the recent blizzard, \ The Metz children were at school when the biizzard started. Mrs. Metz at once became anxious about her loved ones. Fearing that they might not be able to find their way in the blinding storm she started to the schoolhouse to bring them home, but never reached her destination. She became bewildered in the storm ahd lost her way. Bravely she struggled on. ‘When about two yards from the school she sank in the snow utterly exhausted. Her cries were unanswered. With help almost at hand she lay in the snow, her body becoming fast burled beneath a shroud of white, and slowly froze to death. In the meantime the children had start- ed for home. They, too, lost their way in the storm, like their mother, who un- known - to them was but a short distance away. They succumbed to the cold and the storm and, like their mother, sank into the snow. With their little arms around each other in a loving embrace, their tiny bodies all frozen stiff were di covered by a party of searchers on Sun- day afternoon. Mrs. Metz was a widow. The children were her all. They were members of a prominent family and had lived in Harri- son for many years. ¥ VANDERBILTS BEHIND LARGE RAILROAD DEAL Lake Erie and Pittsburg Road Sold to the Big Syndicate, PITTSBURG, March 8.—The Pittsburg Post tomorrow will announce the sale of the Lake Erle and Pittsburg Railroad to the joint ownership of the Pennsylvania and Pittsburg and Lake Erie rallroad companies, which represent the vast Pennsylvania and Vanderbilt interests. The amount involved in the deal is not stated, but {s not less than $3,700,000. The information comes from a reliable source, and it is further stated that the deal was made In an effort to control the lake traffic from the coal districts and keep any competition out of ‘the ‘feld. The Lake Erle and Pittsburg Railroad was planned ag a double track line to Lorain, Ohio, from Pittsburg, via Youngs- town.” Afterward entrance was secured to all of the mills of the United States Steel Corporation, and it was supposed the corporation was to be identified with the construction of the road. Notwith- standing financlal difficulties and legal battles over the terminals and right of way into Lorain, Ohio, the construction of the road was continued. It is learned that the plans of the new owners is to continue the construction of the line from Lorain té6 Youngstown, and there connect with the Pittsburg and Lake Erie and Pittsburg and Western, and thus bring & direct connection into Pittsburg from the new lake port and also glve the Pittsburg and Lake Erle a direct entrance into Cleveland, which it has never had. RICHARD IVENS’ TRIAL BEGINS AT CHICAGO State Relies on Confessions of Alleged Murderer of Mrs. Hollister. CHICAGO, March 8.—The trial of Rich- ard Ivens for t:e murder of Mrs. Bessie Hollister was commenced today. It is generally understood that the case of the State rests largely upon the repeated con- fessions made by Ivens to the police and to the State’s Attorney’s office, and as soon ag the case was fairly under way Attorney Foltz objected to the introduc- tion of any confession purporting to have been made by Ivens. He was promptly overruled by the court, A number of witnesses were examined, including Franklin C. Hollister, husband of the murdered woman. Evidence rela- tive to the movements of Mrs. Hollister on the day she disappeared and the story of the subsequent finding of the body were related, but nothing new was ad- duced. Dr. Warren H. Hunter, Coroner- er's physician, who performed the post mortem examination, testified that Mrs. Hollister died from strangulation, Attorney Foltz for the defense then took up the cross-examination of Dr. Hun.- ter and endeavored to prove from the nor- mal condition of the heart and brain that death might not have resulted from stran- gulation. b i ———— Government Agent in Trouble.

James Slocum, a fireman, was killed during a revolver battle on the steamer’s deck, in which the firemen were ranged on one side and opposing- them were the ship's officers and imem- bers of. the crew. Sounds of the fighting caused a re- serve of police to be hurried to the steamer, but the firemen who had started the trouble had been driven into submis- sion before the police arrived. Six mem- bers of the crew were arrested, as were also First Officer Albert J. Evans and Fourth Officer Elmer H. Kermen. All were held as witnesses, Kermen's home is in Baltimore, Md. 2 The mutiny has been brewing, accord- inig to the officers, ever since the steamer left Cardiff, February 5. The firemen were the chief disturbers, it was al- leged, making Vntlnlml complaints about their food. “The crew, however, sided with the officers. During the voy- age fram Cardiff there were almost daily fist fights on the steamer, all growing out of the surly temper of the two op- posing factions. The wranglings con- tinued until the’Massachusetts ajrived {n Brooklyn, several days ago. - Some of the firemen spent last night in the city and the quarrel began imme- || diately upon their return to the vessel today. The Massachusetts was expecte to sail today for San Francisco. i —_————————— FORMER SENATOR GREEN NOT GUILTY, SAYS JURY WASHINGTON, March 8.—George E.
