Two Preachers Rave Trouble and are
Heard in Court

Herman Crease, a former preacher in
the German Lutheran church in this
city and now a carpenter by occupation,
was tried yesterday for disturbing the
paace of w s. Werden, who claims to
be a preacher Of God. Mr. Werden re-
sides at 121 North Lawrence, and during
the day works at cob5ling for mis- liveli-
hood. In the evening and on Sundays
he breaches on the street. Last Sunday
evening after the Salvation Army had
ceased their devotional exercises on
Fourth avenue. near the Carey and had
gone to their barracks on North Fourth,
Mr. Werden stepped forth and began to
preach to the assemblage gathered there.
The cause OF the trouble. seems TO be
that Mr.. Werden said that the Metho-
d.sts were followers of John Wesley, in
timating that they followed the teach
iRgs of a man instead Of those of Jesus
Christ. Mr.. Crease was formerly
Methodist and turning 70 a travelling
man who was sitting beside MIN on the
sidewalk, he said:
That's not so; it's no such thing"
As ne spoke in a loud voice il disturb
ed Mr.. Werden, and melted others -

ing.
M Werden was put on the stand and
City Attorney Adams asked him 10 state
20 the court how the trouble originated.
He said that Mr.. Crease was sitting on
the sidewalk, and that Mr.. Crease said:
That's not So" when he had made
statement. He claimed that Mr.. Crease
repeatedly interrupted him. He walked
over to Mr.. Grease and said: You keep

have the floor-if you don't l viii lay

THEY HAVE AGREED
CAR COMPANY PRACTICALLY AC-
OEDES TO OITY'S DEMAND.

After a Discussion Which Lasted Over Two
Hours the Street Car Officials Practic-
ally Accede to the Demsnds of the City
Conncfl-There Will be a Meeting of
the Council Tonight When the 0rdi-
nance VIII Probably be Passed-Car
Company Did Not Want a Special Seized
uIe but the Committee Demanded 1t.
The following gentlemen met last
night in the city clerks office 20 discuss
the street car ordinance: Mayor Ross,
Councilmen Handley, McLain, Reese and
Sutton, and City Attorney Adams; Post
master Fitch, L. T. NaflzgeT, w. @.
Church, Charles H. Smyth. c. w. Carey,
Vermilion and H. B. Church, Of Boston,
representing Mr.. W. F. Ellis, the owner
Of the lines. After a discussion which
lasted over two hours the street car Off
Gals practically agreed 10 the demands
OF the city. Some few weeks ago the car
officials submitted an ordinance which
Mayor Ross said ne would veto il Il ever
passed the council. The city attorney
was then instructed 10 draft an ordi-
nance embodying the views of the mayor
and councilmen. This was done, and
when submitted 70 the street car people
was promptly objected 10 by them.
Last night another meeting was held
with the results as stated above. The
principal difference between the car COM
pany and the council was that the city
ordinance demanded ten minutes SER
vice on Main street north 10 Oak, and on
Douglas 10 Washington avenue. Also
twenty minutes service on all other lines.
The car officials did not want 10 have a
specified schedule. The city also de-
manded ten new winter cars and ten
summer cars, and as many more as good
service would necessarily require. The
street car company also wanted the priv
ilege Of furnishing electric light engraft-
ed in the franchise. This the city would
not concede. Furthermore, the city de-
sired the right 10 purchase the Ines AT
the end OF ten years il they so desird.
This proposition the company did not
want 70 grant. After a lengthy discus
sion and after some concessions on the
part Of both an agreement was reached.
The council viii meet this evening when
the ordinance as agreed upon will prob
ably be passed

The question whether a married
woman living in one state can hold
bank stock in another state was de-
cided In the affirmative by the Maryland
Court of Appeals in the case of Kerr.
Receiver, VS.. Uric. The court in rem
dering judgment said: The question
presented is whether married woman
residing in this state is capable of hold
ing stock in national bank located
end doing business in the state of
Texas, and, If so, whether she is liable
as such stakeholder under the personal
liability provisions Of section 5,152 of
the Revised Statutes of the United
States. Whatever difficulty may sur
round this question, arises, we think,
more from the manner in which it Is
presented in this case than from any
other cause, for it can hardly be sup
posed that at this day, when, by the
law of most all the states, married
woman may contract as a feme sole in
respect TO her separate estate, she is
without power to subscribe for or be-
come the transferrer of the stock of
national bank.

nato's operations and the losses which
their declines represent. 1t, of course
takes no account of his early ventures
in diamonds and diamond mines,
which, indeed, were mainly conducted
as private enterprises, and it should be
noted that his remarkable success in
this connection was what in all proba-

financial experiments with disastrous
results, and at the same time gave the
public an exaggerated opinion of his
sagacity. Excluding, also, some minor
