WILL APPEAR MONDAY
Warrants Out for MCvay
and Smith.
THE DEFENDANTS NOTIFIED
What the Warden and the Young Man
What the Warden and the Young Man
Are Charged With.

This morning before Judge Shove I'm the
District Court the warrants charging vio-
lstions OF the ballot reform law in the
Second Ward were sworn to and placed in
the hands of Chief Perry who notified the
respondents to appear Monday morning
and plead to the charges.
The warrants are sworn out by Edward
McCaughey, as Chairman of the Demo-
cratic Ward Committee, who is alive to
the interests of the Democrats In that
ward.
As stated yesterday there are four war
rants, three against Warden Mcvay and
one against John p. Smith.
The one against Smith Is to the effect
that he conspired with persons to destroy
the secrecy OF the ballot as provided by
Ballot Reform law by distributing printed
slips to voters bearing the names of GER
tain candidates, with instructions to hand
them to Supervisors, and have their bal
lots marked by them In accordance with
said printed slips.
The man who was given a slip as above
stated was usually followed to the rail
and watched to see that he asked the as
sistance of Supervisor and produced the
printed slip bearing the request to have
the Supervisor mark his ballot for the
Republican candidates.
Sometimes the men given the slips were
followed inside the rail az set forth In one
OF the warrants against Warden NcVay,
as two men are named in the warrant as
being allowed inside the enclosure by him
after they had voted, being neither police
or election officers.
The other warrants set forth the fact
that in violation of the Ballot Reform
law, the Warden threatened to have ar
rested one of the Democratic Supervisors
because he made 1t his business to watch
Supervisor Howes marking certain bal
lots, and also because in violation of the
Municipal Ballot law only one Supervi-
sor was In many instances detailed to
mark ballots for voters who required as
sistance.

splendid English melo- drama, "Lost
in London" will be the attraction at this
popular place of amusement next week.
The play is intensely emotional and holds
the audience from its opening to closing
scene. It's story is one depicting life In
the great British metropolis and in the
coal mine districts of Lancashire, Eng
land. A majority OF the characters use
the broad dialect OF that country and the
characteristics of its people are vividly
depicted. The most novel scene Is that In
the shaft of he coal mine where the sturdy
workmen are seen ascending and descend
ing In the elevator car. The cast is
especially we'll adapted for the play. Miss
Alice &. Keane ia Nellie Armroyd has
part that will test her abilities to their
uttermost. Her performance In other
cities oD Lothrop's circuit has been
spoken of In the highest manner by
dramatic critics and her beautiful costume
OF white brocaded velvet worn In the
third act Is simply magnificent. james X.

of Job Armroyd, a noble specimen OF
English workingman who follows his
wife Nellie to London to rescue her from
the hands of dispicable villain, Gilbert
Feat therstone (William Cattell). Miss
Evelyn Knapp will appear in her wonder
full impersonation Of the rough country
girl, riddy Dragglethrop, John Phillips

THE LEATHER TRUST.
u Is Now Said That the Shoe Men WI
Fight the Combination.

Boston, April l5.-The rumor that the
boot and shoe manufacturers Of this city
and surrounding districts were about N
enter into a combine, from which they ex.
pect to derive great benefit, Ia only rumol
as yet. The idea as formulated thus far Ia
one of retaliation against the leather trust
although the prime movers do not wish
the public to understand that such Is the
case.
A yeas ago. 1t will be remembered, the
leather dealers and tanners formed com
bination by which they produced no leather
for 90 days. This was done, so they had
the public believe, on account OF the over
production of stock, and prices were not
what they deemed profitable The result
was to clear the market, and It II said u
have acted favorably.
The same idea is used In che present case.
While manufacturers do not deny that
there may be something In the rumor
they do not readily admit 1t.
The rumor has 10 that an organization II
being formed so that all the boot and sho,
manufacturers will become y part. the
agreement being not to cut any mort
leather for 80 days, thus giving those who
wear shoes an opportunity to catch up
