1t Will Go To the Supreme Court.

WASHINGTON, May 30.-Attor-
ney General Harmon says that the
government suit against the joint
traffic association which was de-
cided adversely would be appealed
at once to the United States court
of appeals, and il decided adverse
ly 1t would be carried to the Su-
preme court Of the United States.
1t is not improbable that pro
forma judgment may be asked of
the court of appeals in order to
bring the case before the Supreme
court at as early date as possible.

WANTS Els RELEASE.
First Baseman Charley Elsey Doesn't Want
to be Bronoho Any More.

to be a Bronoho Any More.
A little difficulty took place at
Riverside baseball park yesterday
afternoon just before the San An
tonio-Shermsn game was called, in
which First Basemsn Charles FL
sey and Manager Peter Brophey, OF
the local team, were involved.
The trouble was over Crotty rs
captain Of the team to which Elsey
objected.
Elsey refused to play in Thurs
days game because Crotty was
captain, and Charles Douglass was
substituted to play first base. Yes
terdsy Elsey came out, wearing
his uniform, expecting to play.
Mike Lawrence was put on second
base and Crotty in centerfeld.
When Brophey saw Elsey getting
ready for the game, he told him
it was no use and that he could
take little rest at his own ex-
pense.
This so incensed Elsey that he
Immediately asked for his release.
Brophey refused to listen to him
and Elsey rushed at him under
the grandstand. He pushed
Brophey down and a crowd was at
tracted by the excitement. 1t re-
quired six big strong men to keep
Elsey from Brophey, as he wanted
to talk to him like q man, as
he put 1t. Elsey threatened
to choke BrOphey If he would not
sign his release in twenty minutes.
Brophey did not say word and
has as yet not signed 1t, and from
last accounts has not yet been
signed.
Elsey has made many friends
by his hard and conscientious
work for the local team, and the
people are sorry to hear Of the
trouble. They, however, contend
that he should have obeyed the
manager, and also blame the
manager for not keeping Crotty
out of the game.
Manager Brophey this morn ing
released Crotty and Jones at the
req uest Of the patrons of the game
and will likely place Tony Garcia
on center field until he gets new
man. He also expects to release
| Elsey.

NEW YORK, May 30.-A dis
patch to the Herald from Paris
says: The Temps devotes a lead

Kissingen, it says: "a burst OF

democratic republic OF the new
world and the most powerful

Mr.. George Bancroft, United
States minister at Berlin, in 1870,
greeted the creation Of the Ger

recalled the contrast presented at
the critical hour of Americon in
dependence by the attitude OF
France, of Louis XIV, of Lafayette,
of Vergnes, Rochambeau, with
that OF German hiring merceneries
and trafficing in human flesh to
be expended against the United
States as food for power"
The Temps then relates all the
Stern episode and also the severe
lecture read by the Cologne Gazette
to Mr.. Olney and concludes with
the words: fortunately the two
countries do not easily let them
selves become incensed. This lit

ST. LOUIS, May S0.-By slow de.
grees st. Louis Is recovering from
the business paralysis caused by
the awful storm. Some principal
thoroughfares that were choked
with wreckage, have been opened
and q few street car lines have
been started. The telephone sys-
tenn is useless. Side streets through
the storm wrecked district are
still In a chaotic condition. Tele-
graph and telephone poles, with
a tangled network OF wires,
roofs of houses, uprooted trees,
wagons and vehicles Of all kinds
and shattered remains OF whole
dwellings, are still strewn
throughout most Of them 30 that
traffic in many instances is i'm
possible. 1t will be three weeks
before the city Is In normal condi-
ton.
The number OF dead Is hourly
growing greater as the work OF
clearing progresses. Ruins where
at first there was not thought
there were any dead, are now
yielding them up. 1t was claimed
by officials at the city hospital the
day after the storm, that no one
was crushed in the ruins. They
are now beginning to change their
minds.
1t is sscertained that 60 to 20 pa
tients and four or five employees
are missing. Until this morning
practically nothing toward explor.
ing the ruins had been done. But
large number of men was put to
work at daylight today. This was
done only at the louo de-
msnds of people who had
friends in the hospital dur
ing the storm and who have
not been heard Of since. Father
Kendrick, of st. Vincent church,
who has been attending to the
spiritual wants Of the patients OF
the hospital for years says 30 bodies
will be found If not more. DIR.
Stsrkloff says no one knows how
many dead are under the wreckage.
DIR. Suffer estimates the number at
%, but would not be surprised II
over this was found. The de-
mand for houses and fats by those
who are homeless, rendered
so by the storm, causes great
many real estate men to
think there are not sufficient
vacant houses in st. Louis to sup
ply the needs of the people. More
than half the available supply is
exhausted, and the real estate
offices are constantly besieged
by applicants from oil quar-
tiers. 1t is estimated that 1000
homes are so damaged as to rem
der them uninhabitable. Real
estate agents say the number OF
vacant houses and flats at the
time Of the storm would not ex-
coed 5000 and even some families
will have to go temporarily with
out shelter and depend upon more
fortunate neighbors.

LIPPITT.

Superintendent Martin Latham has an
invention in operation at the Lippitt
mill which promises to be one of the
most important labor saving devices re-
Gently invented in cotton manufacturing
machinery. 1t is stop motion for
mules end is designed TO instantly stop
the machine in case of the strandiDg or
breaking of the mule bands. The bands
or rope belts are liable TO break at any
time and the usual result is the break ing
of the yarn, generally the machine, and
oftentimes the setting fire TO the mule
head in which case great damage is done
to the machine and stock in process OF
manufacture. BY this stop motion which
was recently patented by Mr.. Latham and
Fred Lussier, who is overseer OF the mule
room, the machines are automatically
stopped in case of the breaking of the
band and great saving made in both
time and machinery. The invention has
been in operation at the mill for over six
months and has more than fulfilled the
expectations of its inventors. They have
also been placed in the mules in Il. B. X
X. Knights mills at Pontiac, Arctic and
at Grosvenordale, where they have done
most satisfactory service.
