junction Case.
THE JUDGES TWO TO ONE.
Justices Woods and jenkins Favor Shutting
the Worlds Fair Gates, While Justice
Crosscup Dissents - An Appeal Taken by
the Directors.

| CHICAGO, June S.-The federal court by q
majority OF two to one decided this morning to
grant the injunction prayed for by the district
attorney to restrain the local directory from
| opening the worlds fair gates on Sunday.
Judges Woods and Jenkins favored the clos
ing of the gates while Judge Crosscup held the
contrary opinion.
The court room was crowded to suffocatior
| with 'closer" and "anti-closers" when the
three judges took their seats on the bench.
Judge Woods announced that each member
| CT the court would deliver his own opinion.
1T is q matter Of regret that we have not had
| time to reduce our decisions to writing" said
he, land each one of us will speak for himself. ii
In brief Judge Woods held that tho gov
eminent was in absolute possession of jackson
park and had the right to make whatever rule
it pleased concerning the manage
ment Of the fair: that the Sun
day closing rule had not been law
fally repealed. and that it was the duty of the
| court to grant the relief prayed for by the dis
trict attorney.
He believed that an injunction should be is
| sued.
In the course of his address Judge Woods
said: There is q claim that the local cor
poration rendered the park to the United
States. but the defense prefers q formal
denial 1t is a question to be decided by
the act of Congress inaugurating the enter
prise. The act shows that the legislature and
the park commissioners rendered the park
to the government, and it is clear that
in so far as it lay In their
power the legislature and the park COM
missioners did make that trade. A constitu-
tional amendment was passed enabling Chicago
to raise e5. 060 900 for the fair. The adoption
Of that amendment corroborates this position
that the government is in possession at jack
son Park. These grounds have been lawfully
delivered to the use Of the government
Judge Jenkins agrees with Judge Wood on
the main point in the worlds fair injunction
proceedings. and he also decides that the in
junction must issue and the fair be closed on
Sunday.
Judge Crosscup holds that the fair may be
kept open.
Attorney Whitaker for the directory, at the
conclusion Of the decision, gave notice that an
appeal would be taken and a supercedeas
asked
A motion will be heard tomorrow.

whether the dress exhibited in court was the

At the inquest he said he thought the dress
she wore was a ''sort of drab.''
Today he refused to be be positive on any
thing, SO that the dress question will have to
rest on tine unsupported testimony of Mrs.
Churchill.
Lawyer Adams, for the defense, made neat
hit when he drew from the doctor the fact that
he prescribed for Lizzie Immediately after the
killing.

filed in New York earlier in
the week, have, it is understood, been can

money there, better rates for money can be
obtained at home than abroad. This indicates
that no gold shipments will be made
this week. although the rate Of ex-
change, 49o, is sufficiently high to justify
gold exports. With no gold ship

fact, too, that much grain is now
being exported adds encouragement to the
