POLICE RAID DENOUNCED
PhlIadelphia Judges Opinion on Cor
tain Rights of a Citizen.


Philadelphia, Sept. 80. = Judges
Thayer, Wilson and Arnold in the
quarter sessions court yesterday heard
testimony on a writ of habeas corpus
taken out for Michael Woelper and
seven follow-Italians, who were re-
Gently held in 200 bail each for an
alleged assault and battery, with in
tent to kill, upon eight policemen. The
officers were engaged in making raid
on house on September 90, where it
was alleged WoelPer conducted
a "speak easy" The occupants
resisted and general fight followed.
during which Michael Pezza, one of
the inmates, was shot and killed while
on the roof. In delivering the courts
opinion, Judge Thayer said that the
raid and arrest were both infamous
and outrageous, and that all the pris-
oners, with the exception Of Woelper,
who would be required to enter 5000
bail to answer the charge of selling
liquor without license, should be dis
charged. He further said that when
an armed force of policemen made an
onslaught on dwelling on Sunday
for the purpose of serving a misde-
meanor warrant the occupants had a
perfect right to use every brick on their
chimney to resist the illegal attack. In
the opinion of the court, he said, it was
not through any instrumentality of
the prisoners that Pezza was killed.
All the prisoners, with the exception
of Woelper, were then discharged.

SPAIN CANNOT WIN.
Opinion of the London Times Regarding
the Situation in Cuba.

London, Sept. 3O.-The Times has a
letter from it's Havana correspondent
describing the forced-currency issue in
Cuba, in the course of which he says:
"Both the custom house and the Span
ish bank itself refuse to accept the
banknotes. 1t is therefore ridiculous
to hope that Capt. Gen. Weyler's de-
cree will maintain them at par" The
correspondent predicts that within a
few months the banknotes will be at
so per cent. discount. He says that
the bitterness. of the Spanish officers
in Cuba against the United States is
constantly on the increase, as it is seen
that nothing stops the landing of fiji
busters. The Times also has an edi-
torial on the Cuban situation which
says that the letter from it's CORE
spondent shows that nothing has oc-
Cured to justify more cheerful view
of the situation there. "Spain," says
the Times, lis incapable apparently OF
such resolute and continuous effort as
is needed to reconquer the island"

what Tree. Do for Man.

A tree is great boon to man. Il
is an educator. It's beauty of form.
limb, bud, leaf and fruit; its never
ceasing grace in motion; it's grateful
shade; its silent companionship and
its struggle from the tender plant to
the mature and sturdy monarch of the
forest-these have an educating, a re-
lining influence upon all who come
within their shadow. Trees are con-
servators of the public health. They
are the great laboratories of nature.
Their leaves absorb the carbonic acid
and give out the comrensating oxygen.
They are the best and most effective
sanitary agents. No man can live
among them without absorbing their

Monitor Puritan To Go into Commission
Important Pending Changes.

Washington, Sept. 30.-The monitor
Puritan, at the New York navy yard,
has been ordered to be completed and
prepared for being placed in commits
sion by Nov. 1. This is the last one of
the modernized double-turreted ships
of the low free-board type to be made
ready for active duty. The Miantono-
myh, Amphitrite, Terror and Monad-
mock having been her predecessors.
These vessels, which were associated
with the alleged Roach scandals,
though formidable, are of a type not
found in foreign fleets. 1t is thought
that Capt. Colby M. Chester or Capt.
Charles j. Barclay will command
her. Capt. Chester has not been to sea
since 1883. Capt. Barclay will be pro-
NOTED in day or two on account of
the retirement of Capt. James O'Kane.

Boston navy yard. Among the
most important impending changes
at the top of the naval list is
that of Capt. Robley D. Evans, of
the battleship Indiana, who is expected
to return to Washington in week or
two as member of the lighthouse
board. He will take the position va
Gated by Capt. John R. Bartlett, who
will be sent to sea. Capt. Henry c.
Taylor, president of the war college,
will relieve Capt. Evans on the Indiana.
Capt. Bainbridge-Ho Hoff will shortly sue
ceed Capt. Merrill Miller, in command
of the Raleigh. Capt. Francis A. Cook
has been elected to command the
Brooklyn when that vessel is ready for
sea, and Capt Robeson is ready for
duty, being available for big ship on
account of his position near the head
of the list. He now commands the
Kittery navy ward.

Not Invent the Telephone Transmitter.
Washington, Sept 3O.-The court
of appeal of the District of Columbia
has rendered decision in the case of
Daniel Drawbaugh, who was refused
patents for certain alleged new i'm
provements in telephone transmitters.
The decision was written by Chief JUS
tice Alvey and affirms the decree of the
commissioner of patents. The case
was divided into two parts and argued
before the court last November. The
decision was withheld because of the
application of Mr.. Drawbaugh to con-
gress for relief. This application was
withdrawn by Mr.. Drawbaugh, whose
petitions for patents were fled in 1888
and 1884. The court of appeals held
that Mr.. Drawbaugh never was the in
ventor of the transmitter.
