The report circulated In Seat- tie that living persons have been found in tho avalancho ruins at Wellington Is discredit- ed. The Great Northern has no such Information. i fBy Associated Press.) SEATTLE, Wash., March 4. Communication with Wellington was interrupted today. It is known, however, that the situation at tho scene of the avalanche is much tho same as yesterday. The weather is mild and snow and earth slides are frequent, The Great Northern offers no objection to the estimate of IIS dead made by the Seattle news papers. Of the dead, 84 were passengers, trainmen and postal employes, and the remainder railroad laborers. The removal of the bodies cannot bo ac complished without the greatest dif ficulty and hazard. In conveying the bodies down tho mountain trail a toboggan of boards and tarpaulin Is used. Tho bodies are laid upon sleds and dragged over the snow except in steep places where the men must lift the burden and carry it. Some of the bodies are mutilated but others aro unamrked and the expressions on the faces are those of persons who never woke out of their sleep. The only man who saw the avalanche and who dashed down the mountain to Skyhomish with the news of the disaster has lot yet recovered his senses. An unpleasant incident at Welling ton is the clash between the rival un dertakers. The accident occurred in King county and the Inquest will be held In this county. A representa tive of the Kin? county coroner claims jurisdiction over the bodies, and according to Everett under takers, objects to the taking charge ot any of the dead.

A peculiar legal tangle has been raised by the extension of the North Front street elevated roadway by the county commissioners to connect up North Bend and Marshfield. This has been tho cause of considerable litigation in the past which tied the work up for a few years and now Is the Indirect cause of a peculiar legal problem which E'ugene O'Connell has raised. Mr. O'Connell has secured three Injunctions in the case through Ben nett Swanton. One injunction pro hibits the county commissioners from paying E. O. Hall the damages al lowed for the right of way, another prohibits E. O. Hall from cashing tho warrant already allowed him by the commissioners and the third prohi bits County Clerk James Watson from paying the warrant already Is sued to Mr. Hall. I This will mean the holding up of the construction of the roadway un til the legal entanglement is settled and may incidentally result In afford- Ing the county commissioners time to change tho plan of construction to piling instead of mud sills'. When the damages were awarded, the property which has caused the trouble was owned by E. O. Hall and j the county commissioners ordered tho warrant drawn in his favor. Then Mr. Hall sold the property to Eugene O'Connell. Mr. Hall received the warrant, but is said not to have cashed it. Under the Iaw, the damages are required to bo paid to tho owners of the property at the time the work is being done, according to Mr. O'Connell's contention. The litigation will simply deter mine whether Mr. O'Connell or Mr. Hall gets the damages allpwed for tho roadway and is immaterial to the county commissioners, but until It Is settled, it appears as though tho In junction issued will hold up the work RAISE NOVEL LEGAL PROBLEM 4, 1910 EVENING EDITION ATTORNEY CLASH by Mr. Ballinger to Taft November 15. With reference to his claim that Ballinger had deceived the President concerning a declsibn by the con troller of currency, Pinchot admitted that Ballinser'g written statement to the president was a fair one and that ths document he submitted war all that probably bore on the case. He insisted, however, that there was "The unavoidable infer ence that Ballinger had communicat ed in some other way with the Pres ident." Vertreei brought out that tho co operative agreement with the 'forest service which Ballinger discontinued was not the usual arrangement whereby one department lends its employes temporarily to another but provided that employes of the Inte rior Department should be under the exclusive control and jurisdiction of the forester.
