Two Men Charged With Practising
Stale Trick at the Famous
Restaurant.

New York, June Two of the cash
iers at DeImOnico's operating on the
belief that they were "himf1ammed"
Wednesday night out of so each, had
John Roberts of No. 163 East Sixty
third street, and Geo. Clark of No. 277
West One Hundred and Eighteenth
street, arrested last night and charged
them with the offense.
The cashiers are both just coming
into their teens and handle the finances
in the cigar stand at the entrance of
the eating establishment. Their names
are Edmund Meddy and Emile Gou-
beau.
They claim that Wednesday evening
both Roberts and Clark stepped up to
the cigar counter and placed two $40
bills on the show case. They say that
Roberts asked for a cigar and Clark
called for cigarettes. During the change
making that followed the boys are sure
that while they were counting out the
money, the two men suddenly exclaim-
ed:
tOh, here is some small silver and
threw the required amount down, gath
ering up the two $50 bills and the other
change, incidentally tucking the whole
amount in their inside pockets and
strolling out.
Last night Roberts and Clark enter
ed Delmonico's about o'clock and
F-ddy and Goubeau said the recog-
nized them as the men who had turned
the trick Wednesday night. Both men
were taken to the West Thirteenth
street station and locked up.

To Be Removed From a CleVe-
land Cemetery.
Expense Expected to Be Fully
$3,OOO,OOO.
BUSINESS DEMANDS 1T
City Has Grown All About th'
Cemetery.
Much Trouble Expected in Car
rying Out the Work.

Cleveland. June THE biggest under
taking of its kind ever attempted in this
country is the removal of 1900 bodies
from the Erie street cemetery which is
now needed for business and other pur-
poses.
Seven figures, according to some per-
sons, are required to write the amount of
expenditures incurred by the city. if it
decides to abandon the Erie street ceme-
terry.
William J. McKinnie, when he was di-
rector of charities under the Blee admin
istration, is said to have established the
cost of the proposed improvement at $3,-
OOO, 600.
Director Etzensperger says: There are
perhaps 1000 bodies inferred in the Erie
street cemetery. I do not think there is
anything left of more than 1000 of them.
Any undertaken will take a contract to
remove these bones at $40 a grave. This
makes $4,000. I am of the opinion that
other costs and damages accruing will
not raise the amount above 81, ,OOoO 600 and
think it will be considerable below that
figure.
Director Akers' plan to utilize the
cemetery by cutting through new paths
and roadways and selling the additional
lots thus created does not strike me as
buried all around in this cemetery and
some of the graves are unmarked. In
many cases relatives have left the city
and the graves are uncared for Every
time the digger would come across an old
grave of this kind in excavating for a
new one citizens would protest. The city
would have just as many complaints
coming as if it assumed the responsible
ity of doing away with the cemetery al
is full of pauper graves and no one can
tell where he will find the corpses There
is a record of the number of interments,
to be sure, but not of the specific loca-
tions. AS for the feasibility of abandon
ing the cemetery, hasn't it been demon~
strated in the past? The city removed
hundreds of bodies from the old Harvard
Grove cemetery to make room for the
Valley railway tracks. 1t was accom-
plished without any large amount of op-
position. The interests of the city de-
mand that the Erie street cemetery be
done away with"
Director Akers doubts whether the sale
of the property will compensate the city
for the expense incurred in confscating
it. Further than this he wants to know
what authority it has to sell other peo~
pies land simply to make more money
thereby. The director of charities thinks
the hundreds of families owning lots in
the burials ground will be up in arms in
stantly and flourish their deeds in the
eyes of the authorities. If the city had
any intention to use the ground for erect
ing some public building on it he believes
the situation would be somewhat differ
ent, and the appropriation proceedings
might be justified. This has not been
urged very seriously up to date, al
though there is some little talk of plac>
ing the new city hall up that way.
There are about a dozen private vaults
which in themselves it will cost large
amount of money to condemn.

BLEEDINGHAND OFFENSIVE
An Atlanta Man Sues a Car Company
for Damages But Loses.

Atlanta, June IA damage suit was
tried Saturday against the Atlanta
Consolidated Street Railway company
in which J. w. Palmer is the plaintiff.
Palmer is an insurance agent and for a
number of years was a locomotive en-
gineer
He is suing the street car company
for $500 damages, claiming that he was
put off the car because his hand was
bleeding from a, ghastly gunshOt wound
and that the streaming blood was or
fensive to the passengers of the car
The case is probably without prece-
dent in the many varied forms of Itt1-
cation which have been brought re-
Gently against the Atlantic ConsOHdat-
ed Street Railway company. Palmer
does not charge that he was accorded
rough treatment by the conductor or
by any passenger, but he sues for the
amount stated, alleging that he was
suffering and was in great need OF
reaching the office of a physician where
he could receive surgical treatment
While the evidence did not show that
such was the case, it was strongly in
timated by the plaintiff that he was
elected for no other reason than be-
cause his hand was bleeding. The road
denied that such was the case, the de-
PENDANTS claiming that the conductor
put Palmer off because the former was

was in favor of the defendants and was
quickly found after Judge Berry de-

MUST EAT BEEF HEART.
Soldiers at Fort Sheridan Who Com
planned of the Food Are Quick
ly Brought to Time.

Chicago. June 7.-Trouble among the
soldiers at Fort Sheridan over the food
served to them was not long lived.
The item of beef heart and liver has
been on the bill of fare too frequently
to suit some of the soldiers, and last
Saturday a protest was made by ten
men from battery A, Second artillery,
who, upon the discovery that beef heart
was again on the bill of fare for supper,
left their seats at the table and started
out of the dining room.
Captain Grimes called them back,
and after the cause of the trouble be-
came known the protesting soldiers
were told if they could not get along
with their fare they could get dis
charges without difficulty.
Adjutant Duncan said yesterday:
There was no revolt and the trou-
BILE is not serious The matter was
not of sufficient moment to make an
official report"
The cook at the mess room said the
beef hearts were not always in the best
condition and he believed the soldiers
had a right to refuse to eat them II
they chose.

A TIGHT PINCH.
South CarOlina's Fight For Her
Dispensary System
Overthrow By Another "Orig-
inaI Package Decision.
GIVEN A SEVERE BLOW
State Win Undertake to Under
sell Whisky Dealers,
Until Some Way Out of the
Trouble is Found.
GIVEN A SEVERE BLOW

Columbia, S. c., June From this
evenings outlook it seems probable that
the dispensary authorities will stay in
business, taking the following policy:
An appeal from Judge Simontons de-
cision win be made, but it is extremely
unlikely that any effort will be made to-
ward having the judge vaeate his order
of Injunction pending that appeal.
In the meantime it seems to be the
general purpose to continue the opera
tion of the dispensaries, putting down
the prices of liquor to the lowest possible
figure and entering the field of compe-
tition with the whisky houses outside the
state who can only ship in original pack
ages for sale.
It is contended that the dfspensary can
meet all competition successfully because
il can reduce expenses considera bly, and
besides the profits at present are about
100 per cent.
The first big looping off of expenses, it
is understood will be the doing away with
the constabulary force
This now costs the state between s4O,-
600 and $4,000 annually.
Already Governor E1erbe has issued in
structions to all the constables to cease
all seizures and ordered the chief consta-
bles to report here tomorrow for council
with him In lieu of the constabuIary
the several cities of the state will be no.
titled that they will be expected to in
struct their police forces to look out for
all sales of liquor in other than original
packages.
1t is intimated. not by the governor,
that in case this is not done the metros
politan police law will be applied to the
city that fails to do so.
1t is practically settled that there viii
be no extra session of the general as
sembly. 1t is held that this will be
great and useless expense and would be
totally unprepared to pass any kind OF
an act to relieve the situation and each
man would have his own ideas and the
result will be that about six weeks
would be consumed in debate at a heavy
cost to the state
This mornings trains brought repre-
sentatives here from a half dozen whisky
houses. They are preparing to "open
up business" under the original package
scheme.
The running of the dispensary at least
until the stocks of liquor are disposed of,
IS really the only thing that would save
the state from financial disaster.
Appropriations have been made in ex-
pectation of certain revenues from the
dispeRsary. and if $3.50, 900 was tied up the
administration would be in a serious hole.
