ALDERMEN ENJOINED.-Adr.
TIN Pan Attack On the king>bridge Franchise
which &c Is Proposed 60 Sell.

The Mayor and the Aldermen were served
yesterday with q temporary injunction restrain
ing them from taking any action on the Kings.
bridge street railroad franchise. which it is pro-
posed to sell at auction under the law. The in
junction was granted by Justice Lawrence of the
Supreme Court at tho instance of Leopold
Gustal of 80 Park place. who acted as u stalking
horse for one Of the yellow journals. The
order is returnable this morning and the injunc-
ton will probably be vacated.
One of the men enjoined is District Attorney
olcott, who resigned from the Board of Alder
men last December. In spite Of the fact that
he hasn't been an Alderman for nearly ten
months he is included in the list of those who
arc forbidden to vote on the franchise. The
serving of the injunction vas an imposing
spectacle. Squads of yellow journalists were
drawn up in line in the corridor OF the City
Hail, and as each Alderman passed along on his
way TO the meeting room upstairs a copy OF tho
injunction was thrust into his hand. When
the meeting was called TO order the papers in
the case were turned over TO the Law Commit
tee with instructions to have the Chairman
Alderman Ware offered a resolution that a
public hearing be given on the franchise ques-
tion next Monday. SO that citizens III general
and labor orators in particular could have a
chance TO state their views.
But We can't take the matter up now" said
President JerolOman with awe in his voice.
Court"
NOT being a lawyer and knowing nothing
about the law, l agree with YOU" said Alder.
man, Oakley, whereupon the other members Of
the board snickered.
Il admire Alderman Wares courage in in
Producing this resolution" said Alderman Mar
shall: u don't know whether he is sincere or
not, but l do know that his resolution Is u line
piece OF political buncolube."
"Bunco. did you sayf' asked Alderman Ware
excitedly.
No. / said buncombe,,,' retorted Alderman
Marshall, and the resolution was tabled.
The injunction is based on the clause in
the new charter forhidding the Municipal As
senbly which will be elected next month from
granting a franchise in pcrpctulty. The courts
have already decided in Il Staten Island case
that this prohibition does not apply to local
legislatures now in existence.

A SILK LINING IN A SUIT is one
of the mos, economical pieces of eX-
travagance that one can indulge in. 10
say nothing of wear, it adds a certain
style and grace to almost any suit-as
though the fact of being silk Lined
shone through and were visible outside.
Suits silk lined throughout are here
as low as $3.50 and SIS. These are
in blue or black serge, with fly-front
jackets and the new shaped skirts, we'll
tailored.
AT SIS are suits in cheviot serge,
canvas cloth, and Oxford mixtures,
jacket and skirt lined throughout with
plain or checked taffeta fly-front jack
cts, correct hanging skirts, and the best
tailor finish.
Boucle serge suits, silk lined; wide
vale cheviotS at $3.50; and others at
a higher price, with added elegance in
tailoring and trimming.
AT $50 there is a very handsome suit
of cheviot serge, with Russian blouse
waist, the waist and the skirt hand
somely braided in Partisan style, and
lined throughout with taffeta silk.
And these are only a good begin
ming.

riety of these is very large. There
are Bannockburn cheviotS, boucle
cheviotS, diagonal cheviots, and some
English suitings-the real mannlsh-
looking Stutfs. One of the most tax
ing is a true cheviot, with the char

With it, she is equipped for shopping,
for an outing trip, or for evening
wear-for silk waists come in black

of any material or color.
Black taffeta waists are here in
seven styles, from $3.50 to $3.50;
and black satin in four styles, from
$3.50 to 81.

Fine, heavy taffeta. in shirt-waist style,
with loose plaitS, $40.
