THE CITIZENS LEAGUE.

Action of the Executive Committee Last
EVening-Crusade Against the Dives.
The executive committee of the Citizens
League for the Suppression Of Dives met in
Y. NJ. C. A. Hall last evening. There was
a large attendance. Mr.. Michael Flood
presided. A finance committee, consisting
OF MessTs. Hutchinson, Grant and Hallidie,
was appointed, and the secretary was au-
thOriZed to appoint an assistant to aid him
in enrolling the members of the league. Mr..
Benjamin c. Wright was appointed financial
secretary.
A determination was evinced in the short
speeches made at the meeting to energetic
ally continue the crusade against vice so
successfully begun by the suppression of
the Cremorne deadfal.
Ex-Judge T0Ohey denounced as Ubiquitous
the ordinance which allowed any y prop
erty-owners on block to license vice. He
said the authority TO determine whether or
not licenses to keep liquor saloons should
vest in the Board Of Police Commissioners
exclusively. III the patronage OF these dens
could be limited 10 the II sigDers Of petitions
no great harm could be done by them.
While on the bench Judge 10Ohey said that
he had directed the attention of no less
than six grand jures to the need of investi-
eating the dives and suggesting remedies
for their suppression. In no instance had
any relief come from these bodies and the
only Grand Jury that he now had any con-
Gdenee could suppress the evil was that
which would come out Of Metropolitan
Temple.
Mr.. Eastland remarked that some 10
years ago a Grand Jury succeeded In closing
the dives for about four months, and he
(Mr. Eastland) was foreman of that Grand
Jury.
Mr.. Whiting said that, though election
time was very near and little could be
looked for from those in office, it was the
duty of the league TO hammer at the stone
till they broke it,
Mr.. G. o. Burton called attention to the
importance Of taking extra pains TO secure
a crowded meeting in Metropolitan Temple
on Sunday next.
MIR. Gear suggested that Archbishop
| ROTdan be invited The chairman said he
| had been and would probably be- present.
Mr.. Eastand suggested thal Rabbi V0or-
sanger be invited, but, it appearing that
| that gentleman was Ia favor Of limiting
| them to a defined area, and not extirpating
| them, Mr.. Eastand Withdrew his motion.
1t was agreed that as many of the MEM
| beTs as could spare the time should attend
! the meeting OF the License Committee at
the City Hall this afternoon. The chair
man. the treasurer and secretary were ap-
| pointed TO present the case to the committee
| on behalf Of the Citizens League. An adj
| jOuTnment was then taken until next Tues
day evening

good. She had lived with Parfait for sew

Contrast this with the treatment accorded
to Japanese in America. They are every

are undertaking our laborers all around.

HOTEL RAFAEL COMPANY.
Fined for Violating a Superior COur
Injunction.


Injunction.
In decision rendered by Judge Hebbard
yesterday in the case Of Peter J. McGlYnn
and J. F. Burgin, executors of the Domaine
estate, VS.. the San Rafael Company, the
court laid down an interesting principle in
She law Of injunctions.
Soon after the death Of James MeIvyn
Donahue, who was stakeholder in this
company, his stock was advertised to be
sold for non-payment of an assessment of
Sl2 per share. The executors Of the estate
and their attorney, Charles T. Hanlon, re-
sisted the payment of this assessment on
the ground that it was improperly levied
and in violation of law, and that the pro-
ceeds OF that and OF prior assessments were
eXtravagantly used by Baron Won schroeder,
who then had control Of the corporation,
and in a manner not contemplated by the
holders Of the company's stock. Accord
ingly, when the assessment sale was
still threatened. an injunction suit
was commenced before Judge H0ge
and as soon as the injunction was
Issued, It was telephoned to San Ra-
fael, and notice was served upon the
secretary Of the corporation. The COM
pany, however. took no notice Of the injunc-
tion, and proceeded with the sale and the
stock was bought in by the company. For
this it was cited to show cause why it and
!ts projectors should not be punished for
contempt. A large amount OF testimony
was taken before Judge Hoge. and aft
davits and counter-afiidavits were filed, and
the matter was pending under adVisement
at the time OF his death. 1t was then result
mitted to Judge Hebbard upon stipulation
of the respective parties, and in the decision
above referred to he finds that the corpora.
: ton was guilty Of contempt in heedleSsly
/ dsregarding the Injunction, and fines them
the sum Of $500, to be paid plaintiffs for
damages and penalty. All the assets and
stock Of the company have been recently
transferred 10 Baroness Won Schroeder. who
In all probability will be called upon to paw
this judgment and the costs OF the litigation.

HEDLEY ACQUITTED.
The Slayer of John CouneI Discharged
by jury.

The Slayer of John ConneI Discharged
by Jury.
In Judge Murphy's court yesterday morn
ing John r. Hedley was on trial for his life
for the killing of John Connel on the 10Th
Of last April. 1t took just 20 minutes to get
jury, two Of the venire being excused be-
cause they were not in favor of capital pun
ishment. Hedley and Connel were living In
the same house at 212 Diamond street, and
on the night In question, according to the
story Of the defense, they quarreled over a
game of cards. Hedley says that Connel
grabbed him by the throat, and in self
defense he plunged a dagger into his assail-
ants abdomen, fatally wounding him. The
Jury retired 81 3:15 o'clock.
After being out three hours the Jury re-
turned verdict OF not guilty and the pris-
oDaS &as discharged.

Let every colored man read this
plank in the platform of the Peoples
party:
Resolved, That we demand q free bal
lot and fair count in all elections. and
pledge ourselves to secure it to every le-
gal voter without Federal intervention
through the adoption by the States of
the unperverted Australian secret ballot
system,
This is a pledge of friendship and
protection to both white and colored
alike. It comes from source that
both should trust, and is of such a
nature as to inspire confidence in
what it says. There are meaningless
declarations floating around among
political parties, but in this class the
above resolution can not be placed.
This was adopted separately by a
convention representing all the States
through real, genuine citizens, who
understood the situation. Let it be
carefully read by overy colored voter.
The Peoples party does not propose
to suffer under bad laws because it
is afraid to ask the colored mans
vote to make change for the better.

Railroads Should Obey the Laws.

Buffalo Enquirer.
Some startling testimony was
given yesterday in the course of the
investigation begun by the Board of
Mediation and Arbitration to deter
mine the causes and responsibility
for the switchmen's strike. Witness
es testified that they had been COM
PEELED to work overtime every day.
That some days they worked IL or
II hours, that sometimes they were
compelled to be on duty for Is or 20
hours continuously and that this
happened as often as twice a week.
One witness swor6 that on one occa-
sion he had been on duty continuously
for SO hours.
While we may expect that these
men will make out as strong q case
as possible against the railroad COM
panies, we have no right to suppose
that they are not telling the truth.
The fact that in one yard every one
of the switchmen voted to strike is
the strongest kind of corroborative
evidence. It is not reasonable to
suppose that they went out on strike
unless they considered it necessary
step, or that they would have regard
ed it a necessary step unless they
had substantial grievances.
Whatever the result OF the investi-
CATION by the Board Of Arbitration 1t
will be shown that the railroad COM
panies have not attempted to live up
the fen-hour law passed last winter.
It has been contended that the
switchmen ought to have brought
action against high officials of the
road for the violation of this law. No
doubt that is fine procedure in
theory. But it does not result salts
factorily when followed out. It is
quite possible that a railroad employe
appearing as a complaining witness
against one of the high officials OF the
corporation. would lose his job. It
is quite possible that a witness whose
testimony helped the side of the pro-
secution would also be out of work
after the next pay day.
We hope for the good of the pub
lie, for the good of the railroads and
their employees that no further viola
ton of this statute viii be permitted.
Companies which compel men to
work overtime in defiance of law are
only laying up trouble for the future.
If the roads win this fight and re-
sumo business with non-union switch
men it will not be many months be-
fore their new employees will be or
ganized and ready to work together.
