REFORMS PROPOSED FOB LABOR LAWS. otExactlyvSi m V i r 5 XJT V I Ends Ebfate's Duty Merely to Maintain the South Pass it Channel. ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OPINION. No Evidence Tliat Pass a rOutr, Crtivas.se Tlireatens the Chan- nol Security Money Is Not Otherwise Available. Tri- nepullle na'Mii. H'h St and I'e-inajlvaaia A.e " a-h'i it.,n, May 13 -Senator Cockrell Ji3 pre stated io the Senate- an opinion sent Mm by Attorney General Griggs In which It I- held that no liability rests i.poa the ex ecutors of the Kails estate for failure to e'e.-e Pass a TOutre crtvas". The Attorn-- General sayst "Mr. Reads i- ipulateil to secure a certain channel In U.e Fv.'i Pass nnd to maintain It for twen li years The contract expressly left thg .'Mails of the work to Its Judsment and tkill. the Government conte-ntlng itself with tt,u"s Tor securing the channel hn u.k to Vie paid J.".2V'. for maintaining It $10).VO. In nuarterl) Installments. He secured tho channel Jul . 1S79. and so earned the s' m of 13,S0.e. Four million two hundred and llfty thousand dollars of th! amount was paid l.Im The remaining 51 .t "'. was earned,' hut 'retneired as warily In th X.ossession of tho United State-.' for the n aintenance of the ch inr.el fcr twetitv years, one-half to be rel-ased and paid at the end of ten years, and the remaining ' half at the end of tea i.ddltlonal )eurs "The charnel having been maintained for ten j ears, one-halt was released and paid under tho joint resolution of February 1, ISSJ. Tho remaining half Is being held un til tho second period of ten ears shall ex pire. Up to this tiroo the channel his been duly maintained. Is now belrg maintained ond presumably will bo maintained until ".ho early part of the year 1ML when, un der the law and tho contract, the full peri od of maintenance will expire, the works to be. turned over to tho United State? and the remaining hair must be relented and j-ajd to the representatives of Mr. Kuds. "The remote posclblllty that In some way i.nd at somo tlmo tho crevasse In Pa-s a TOutre may Injuriously affect the channel In South Pass cannot Justify the United Mates when th" channel shall have bee-n maintained for twenty years, H refusing to release, and pay over money which was earned when the channel was obtained In 3T9 and Is b-.tng held simply us security for Its maintenance tor twenty years The crevasse began to widen la January. I. 3n October. l&'I. the repre.sentatlv on of Mr. Kads attempted to close It, but were una 1 le to do so. and In ls?4 abandoned the at tempt. After that tho Government tried to lose It. but failed , "The monev this, work cost wa expended 1 the Government on Its own motion and ut lis ov.n risk. The Government made no demand on the representatives of Mr. l.iils to cln.se the crevasse, nor did they request the Government to undertake tha work. "Whether It was necessary or desirable to nt.A vA nnH.fi.4A wn n. doubtful Question. Mr. Eadss represontativ esi, after experi ment, apparently answered the question In the negative. The results tend to confirm the soundness of their Judgment, end tho Government has never officially contested Its correctness. No injury to the channta lias resulted up to this time, nor Is there any claim or reasonable ground stated for a elalra that injury Trill result from this tource. . ...... "After all. the question irabraJtted Is one of fact and not of law, and it Is answered in the statement of facts presented. The rep resentatives of Mr. Eads were under 10 obligation to close the crevasse unless it was necessary In order to maintain the channel and protect the works. Tho ques tion whether a necessity exl3ts la. one. of fact, not of law. and you neither filed ror nfflrm the existence of such necessity. On the contrary, all the facts and inferences tre opposed to its existence. "If there were any show ins that the, rep resentatives of Mr. Eads have failed to co anything required under the contract M make the Improvement permanent In char acter, I should be disposed to hold that the Government might properly decline to re lease the money now in Its possession which belongs to them until tho necessary work should be done, or might do tba work and charge It against the security fund. ItLt there Is no showing of fact which requires or would Justify such holding on my pirt Indeed, the facts conceded by the Govern ment in your statement leave no eoursa open except to releaBa and pay over the money at the expiration of the statutory period of maintenance, for they preclude the possibility of successful defense In the Judicial proceedings which would inevitably follow a refusal to do so." The Attorney General concludes that the &0.OC held by the Government as security for fulfillment of the contract should Le paid to the Eads executors.

Thee dog went by the unusual name of "Yellow-ringtail." The name was Intended to characterize, him and did so. The animal had been picked up nt Jacksonville. ITa.. nnd was taken by tho negro troopers t' Cuba. At the charge of San Junn he re ceived his wound. After the battle he was nursisl by the negroes, and recovered his activity. When Earner Johnson, a Klrkwood negro, received his discharge from the annv h took "Yellow-ringtail." This wio becnusei the cur hid heeime particularly attached to him. and 1 ecause Johnson hail been as siduous In nursing tho dog when the lattef was shot. Johnson afterwards presorted the canine to Dohr, who Is a painter and paperhanger hi Klrkwood. Yesterduv the only dog In Klrkwood who was a veteran of the Spanish War disappeared. It was said bv- one man thit "Yellow-rirgtaH" was stolen bv a tramp and had been seen struggling in this arms of the thief as the latter walked east along the Missouri Pacific Railroad track. Why "Yeltow-rltigtall" shott'd be stolen by one who did not know his history Is Incon ceivable, liecaufm he was not prepossessing In appearance and would not sell for 13 cents.
