WOODEN PAVEMENTS ROCK
Public Opinion Is Aroused by Disas
ter and Press Attacks City Au
thorities for Allowing Subway
Honeycombs in City.
PARIS, June 16. The death toll from
yesterday's tempest stands at elgrht to
night. Eight other persons hare dis
appeared as far as is known and 70
were injured through the collapse of
sections of the Paris streets.
One of the finest quarters of Paris
can hardly be recognized, so extensive
was the wreckage caused by the storm.
Police keep back the curious specta
tors, for the wood pavement for yards
around the great cavities caused by the
flood undulates under the pressure of
the moving earth beneath.
Police, firemen, soldiers and labor
ers are clearing away the debris in
search of bodies, but the work is slow.
Public opinion has been aroused by
the disaster and' the press is unani
mous in its attacks on the authorities,
Who, it is pointed out, have permitted
the capital to be honeycombed by sub-Ti.-ays,
electric, water and gas mains,
jtvlthout a semblance of supervision.
Three additional ca veins occurred to
Bay at the Rue Gluck, the Place de
Home, in front of the Saint Lazare sta
tion and at the. Place d'lena. At one
of these points a telephone junction
box was destroyed, cutting off 8000
subscribers.
At Troyes lightning struck a mili
tary tent, killing a soldier and injur
ing several others.

SHEROD LOSES HIS CASE
SUPREME COURT AFFIRMS DECIS
ION OP LOWER BODY.
Injunction of Merchant Asalnat Rail
road Commission, to Prevent Enforc
ing Act Held. Improver Remedy.
" ' .
SALEM, Or., June 16. (Special.)
Affirming the decree of the lower
cour the Supremo Court today held
that injunction proceedings were not
the proper remedy of the plaintiffs in
the suit of J. G. Sherod and other
commission merchants of Portland
against the State Railroad Commis
sion. The plaintiffs sought to prevent the
Commission from enforcing an act
regulating commission merchants
passed at the last session of the legis
lature. They alleged the act was un
constitutional, but notwithstanding
the District attorney of Multnomah
County bad been asked by the Com
mission to institute criminal actions
against them. It further was alleged
that the plaintiffs would suffer great
injury if the Commission was not en
Joined from enforcing the law.
The lower court ' sustained a de
murrer to the complaint on the ground
that it did not state facts sufficient
to authorize equitable interference. It
is provided in the law that commission
merchants must obtain licenses and
give bond before engaging in business.
Other opinions today were as fol
lows: Klamath Lumber Company, appel
lant, vs. Stella M. Bamber et al.; ap
peal from Klamath County; motion to
