What the Government Expects to BE Able
To Prove.
Yee Wah the Chinaman whose place was
raided two days ago, wants jury trial in the
Police Court and his case will be heard mex
week. fee, as heretofore stated. IL charged
with conducting an opium joint in connection
with his laundry business and the trial promises
to be an interesting one. Among the witnesses
expected to give evidence for the prosecution
is a confirmed opium smoker, who SAYS
he could not live long il he had to give up his
pipe. This man has found opium smoking an
expensive luxury. 1t cost him 80 much that lie
sought to reduce his expenses until he finally
sent to Mott street. New York. for his opium,
paying s12.50 for a can that lasts about two
weeks. When his supply runs short he visits
the joints IN this city, and the prosecution ex-
poets to prove that amcng other places he
visited Yee Wah's.
Two other witnesses are females One IL a
young married woman and the other is single.
The government expects to show that both of
these women have visited the place and hit
the pipe" and that a much older married
woman whom they have as yet been unable to
find was a visitor.
These facts the prosecution expect to prove
in support Of q charge of keeping a bawdy
house, and, in the event of showing them
Prosecuting Attorney Mullowney will ask for a
verdict Of guilty. Lawyer Shiliington will rep
resent the Chinaman, as he has heretofore, and
will make n strong contest as to the facts and
the law in the case

The dealings in the leading stocks. however
were very heavy and the offerings at the best
prices proved sufficient to force a setback
after the first demand had Stacked away
somewhat. The reaction was sharp
enough to wipe out the early gains in
some cases, and in the Goulds and industrials

TO STUDY THE PENINSULA.
The Scientific Expedition That Set Out From
Baltimore Today

BALTIMORE To-day.
BALTIMORE, Nd, April 23.-The scientific
expedition which set out from Baltimore
today to study the oyster question, the
marls. to classify the soils, report on the
geological formations of southern Maryland,
and to make, in addition, q geological
map Of the peninsula. showing the area and
distribution of the soils best adapted to wheat,
tobacco and truck farming. has undertaken o
work that has long been needed, often called
for and never adequately done.
Johns Hopkins is largely represented, as is
also the United States geological survey. The
American Agricultural College sends Prof.
Whitney and McGill College Of Montreal Prof.
Adams and DR.. Sturtevant. The expedition is
to limit at this time its researches to the west
ern peninsula of Maryland, lying between the
Chesapeake bay and Potomac river, with short
excursions to the opposite Virginia shore.
Other similar expeditions will follow in due
course and similar examinations Of the soil and
geological features of the eastern shore will
next be made, ending finally with a study and
report on the soil and mineral resources of all
that large and thrifty area Of the state outside
of the two peninsuas and bounded on tho north
by the Pennsylvania line.
Two things have initiated against an in
crease of population in Maryland from out
side. First. an inability to impart information
from an authoritative source as to soils, min
eral wealth and the variations in climate. The
second Is the absence of cooperation among
those having lands to sell. Third, :the: wretched
condition of the highways in some OF the best
and most fertile counties of the state.

He Attempts to Evict Strikers and ia At
tackled.
ScorTDALE, PA. April 23.-Shortly after noon
today Sheriff Mccormick with deputies began
making evictions at Leisenring, No. 8. While
attending to his duties a Hungarian woman
named Glasko shot at him, the ball inhicting
painful flesh wound in the hand.
The sheriff grappled with the woman and
wrested the revolver from her. The Infatuated
woman then secured an AK, and as the sheriff
persisted in his attempts to evict her
she attacked him with the weapon,
giving him an ugly cut on the foot. McCor-
mick then drew a revolver and shot the woman
in the leg. By this time a great crowd of
strikers had gathered and one Hungarian made
for the sheriff. Mccormick pluckily stood his
ground and shot the man in the mouth.
The deputies were gathered in a knot by this
time and the evictions were carried through.
1t is not believed any one of the three parties
shot is fatally injured.
Sheriff Mccormick is still at Leisenring, No.
8. Capt. Frazer and the greater part of COM
pany c are there. The information received
here is meager and there is a feeling of uneasi-
ness.
1t is reported today that the girl shot in the
Adelaide riot yesterday may recover. The ex-
tent Of the Leisenring riot this morning is not
known, but it Is reported to be serious on both
sides.
The number Of men working at Norwood
today is slightly increased. Sheriff Clawson is
conducting the eviction of tenants at the Mann
moth works today. Up to noon he had not met
with any serious opposition. I,
Sheriff Mccormick and big posse Of depu-
ties went to Trotter this morning, where they
will make fifteen evictions. The deputies and
the force Of Pinkertons are thought to be ample
to keep down all opposition. which will I'M
doubtedly be offered. Although battered up
considerably Sheriff Mccormick is able to be

The eviction notices at Painter plant, about
eighty, expired yesterday. The victims are
largely Poles. Rev. Father Smeigle interceded
and Supt. Brennan agreed to extend the time
until Saturday evening

number OF men would quit work at Jimtown

in the case were that he and some companions
