INJUNCTION MAINTAINED
Victory for the Cobre Grande Yes
 terday.

Judge Street yesterday in long and written decision denied the motion of the defendants to dissolve a temporary injunction granted in the case of the Cobre Grande Copper Mining company vs. William C. Greene, George w. Mitchell and the Phoenix National bank. The suit was begun early last November, having it's origin in the fol- lowing facts: Mitchell had bought of Greene certain mining claims in So- nora, comprising what is known as the Cobre Grande properties. Contracts and agreements between these parties as we'll as title deeds were put in es- crow in the Phoenix National bank. According to one of the many condi- tions, Mitchell was to pay Greene on November 26 of last year s37,50O and other sums at stated times until the property should be paid for.
 These contracts and deeds were af- terward assigned by Mitchell to the plaintiff and under one of the condi- tions binding Mitchell, a shelter was put upon the property and operations were begun. Before the time came for the first payment the Cobre Grande litigation was opened and the so- GTeeHe IdCllOH StCuTeu pOS- session of the property as well as of a large quantity of copper matte which had been shipped to Fl Paso.
 This suit was then begun in which it was alleged. among many other things, that the course of the defend ants had so disarranged the plans of the plaintiff that it would be impos- sible to meet the payment due on No- vember 26, nor would the plaintiff in any event wish to make that payment or any other until it could be assured of protection against Greene and his associates. In the meantime litigation now pending for possession of the prop erty was begun in Mexico. The injunc tion suit brought to restrain Greene and Mitchell from receiving and the bank from delivering to them the deeds and contracts in escrow first came up for hearing last June on a demurrer' to the complaint. The demurrer was

sustained, but the injunction was con- tinued and the plaintiff was given leave to amend. The amended com plaint was heard last Monday, at which time the defendants motion to dissolve was argued by Judge w. H. Barnes for mers and Jamison and Judge Baker for the plaintiffs.
 Judge Street said of the complaint:
 Whether or not the complaint sets out any other reasons for equitable in- terposition it does set out this fact, to- wit: That the defendant Greene con tracted to convey title upon the pay ment to him of a certain amount of money in deferred payments specified; that before the first payment came due he fraudulently disposed of the title to another; that his acts make it unsafe for the party to whom he agreed to convey title to make further payments; that legal proceedings are being had to correct the frauds practiced by Greene; that a court of equity is asked to re- tain possession of the title deeds until such judgment can be had. Defendants denials and allegations are quite as profuse as the allegations and charges in the complaint, but the only one vital thing We discuss is what is alleged and denied about Greene tampering with the title which he agreed to convey.
 Where one has agreed to convey title and has executed deeds in accord ance with that agreement and placed the deeds in escrow to be delivered to the purchaser upon his performance of the conditions of the purchase, and be- fore the time arrives for the perform ance of the conditions the owner dis poses of the title in such a way as would make it futile for the purchasers to perform the conditions. but in- stead thereof takes legal steps in the proper courts to undo the wrong which the seller has committed so as to be@able to perform the conditions with safety and enforce a specific perform ance from the seller, a court of equity will si7ze hold of the title deeds and regulate the time for the performance of the conditions so that the rights of the purchaser can be completely pro- tected. In such eases the, onlXs.ques- tien is: Has the owner coinrlitt tied fhel frauds and performed the acts which make 1t necessary for the purchaser to
Arizona republican., 1900-08-03

take such legal steps and are such le- gal steps being taken?"
 The answer to the complaint, though very voluminous, dwells mainly upon three circumstances. One of these is that the plaintiff having failed to com ply with the condition of payment has no place in a court of equity. It is de- inied according to the defendants in formation and belief, that the plain tiff is endeavoring in the courts of Mex ico to establish it's right or that Greene has sought by fraud to improperly dis pose of the title to the Cobre Grande property. Upon these points Judge Street proceeded as follows:
 "The answer has not so completely met the equities of the complaint in re- gard to the vital point as to require a dissolution of the injunction. There fore the motion is denied and the in junction is retained until plaintiff can have reasonable time to get a deter imitation of it's cause in the courts of Mexico, where the property is situate and have had opportunity to be placed in posse ssion of the mines and have had the title to them adjusted so that it may act under the contract without molestation from the defendants and without jeopardy to it's money due on deferred payments"

Worlds Fair not now an assured fact.
of heroic measures for her uplifting
from the rut of municipal neglect and
decay into which she has fallen. In
January, 1897, as The Republic recently
pointed ont, Mayor Walbridge addressed
Il message to the Municipal Assembly of
st. Louis in which he earnestly urged
the submission to popular vote of Il con
Stitutional amendment making it pos
sibie for the municipality to so increase
its debt that the needed municipal i'm
provementS could he made.
1t is significant, also. that Mayor Wal
bridge then pointed out the fact that the
debt of ST. Louis could he increased
Sin.non.UD without ncccsSitating an i'll
crease in the rate of taxation. and that.
even with this Increased debt. st.
L0uis'S liabilities would be less than the
average public debt of iirst-class cities.
These arguments and figures were sub
mirted by Mayor Walbridgc before the
project for the holding of the Worlds
Fair of 1903 was contemplated. If they
were applicable To the local situation
then they are tcnfold more SO at the
present time.
1t is in order for the people of st.
Louis Ia face gladly and proudly the
Worlds Fair necessity of improving and
bcautifying ST. Louis. The result will
be an infinite gain in the comfort and
happiness of st. Louisans., There will
be no increase of the tax rate. The
Worlds Fair of 1903. in preparation for
which this undermining of st. Louis will
take place. will mean Il new era of pros
perity to st. Louis and to Missouri. Not
in all its history has the city faced 4
prospect of SO great and certain benefit
as 1T the present moment.

c O CONDUIT BILL.

A long step toward making st. Louis
n Worlds Fair city will have been taken
when the new conduit ordinance upon
which the Board of Public Improve.
ments is now working Is adopted and
carried out.
Hints Of the context and purpose of
this ordinance have led to attractive an
ticipations Of its results. 1t will, it is
said, provide for placing all telegraph
and street railway-e1cept trolley-feed
wires, as well as telephone and messen-
ger wires, underground in en- extended
territory covering the densely populated
districts where wires abound.
Placing the feed wires of the street
railway companies underground has Pc
culiar attractions. Those wires are heav-
fly charged, and with their great bulk
of insulation passing from pole to pole
along the city streets are anything but
slightly. The street railway companies
can put those wires underground easily
and with advantage to themselves.
st. Louis has learned many lessons
from it's first conduit law which should
be put to use In the second In order to
avoid previous complications. The siren
uous opposition which met st. Louis's
efforts for underground wires at the first
attempt should also be absent in the
second. Wire-users have met none of
The unpleasant possibilities which they
apprehended, and they should favor
rather than fight the new measure.

TO ERECT BRONZE TABLET
TO PONTIAC, INDIAN CHIEF,
St. Louis Chapter OF Daughters Of American Revolution to
Perpetuate the Memory of the Ottawa Warrior by Plac-
ing the Memorial in the Southern Hotel Rotunda.

Cahckia. Ill. just across the Mississippi. in
the year 1863. He became an early ally of
the French. and historians nave it that he
led the Ottawas in the French attack on
Braddcck, when the latter was SO diSaS-
trously defeated on the M~onongahela.
Pontiac's hatred of the English and the
early colonists. who were not French. was
fierce. He appeared TO be forever stirring
up trouble until the day of his death. De-
serted at last by his followers. he was COM
PEELED to submit TO the English, and made
his abode with the tribe OF the Illinois. In
1863 4 Peoria Indian. bribed by the English
with a barrel of rum. treacherously killed
the Ottawa chief. who was then in the
prime of life. His career was a bloody
one, but his friendship for the early French
seems TO have been constant. more because
they We're opposed 10 the English settlers
than from any sincerity on Pontiac's part.
He made frequent visits to the first Acting
Governor. ST. Anse. and is known to have
been a friend of Auguste Chouteau. who was
so prominently associated with st. LOuiS'S
early settlement.
The idea of thus hOnorins the Indian war
rior originated IN the minds of several la
dies of the st. Louis Chapter, two years
ago, in n friendly discussion on the few
historic sites which st. Louis possesses.
Pcntiac's bones and their last ~resting-place
was mentioned, and the plan for perpetual
ing his memory seemed a feasible one. The
matter was then placed before the Historic
Sites and Revolutionary Relies Committee
with the above favorable results.

WORLDS FAIR SPIRIT.

There is stimulation for Worlds Faii
workers in the surprising success which
attended the opening of the new head
which the great movement will be di-
rected henccfcrward.
The most significant feature of the re-
ception with which the new headquar-
tcrS were inaugurated was that the
greater number of citizens who attend
ed took occasion to make generous sub
scriptions TO the Worlds Fair fund. The
keenest interest in the progress of the
enterprise was manifested. There was
every indication that the civic pride so
necessary to the success Of such a vast
undertaking has been fully aroused, and
that the people of st. Louis stand united
in support Of the Worlds Fair.
With this spirit thoroughly awakened
there should now be a rapid advance.
Henceforth the only development in the
Worlds Fair movement should be Il
steadily increasing volume of enthusi-
asm and welldirected energy. At an
early meeting Of the Committee of Two
Hundred it is to be hoped that the COM
pletion Of the local subscription of So
600. 200 may be announced. When this is
done st. Louis will stand before the
world as fully equipped for the Worlds
Fair. and the managers of the great ell
terprise will then possess the right to
appear before the national Congress and
the various State Legislatures to make
certain the completest cooperation.
Nothing Impossible is the rallving
cry with which st. Louis now pr%osecutes
the Worlds Fair movement. The OPEN
ing of the new headquarters has given
n tremendous impetus to the progress of
Worlds Fair work. The next thirty days
should be notable indeed in the history
Of the enterprise. The dawn of the
Century must find st. Louis
hailed by all the nations as the first
Worlds Fair City of the new age.

MUST FACE THE TRUTH.

When President Mckinley, in lis
forthcoming message TO Congress. shall
more definitely announce his policy of
the holding of the Philippines as al
American colonial dependency. to be
governed along lines similar to those
laid down in Porto Rico. there will be lie
reason for American pride in the posi-,
tion thus assumed.
Porto Rico. even though coming vol,
UNFAIRLY under our dominion and wei,
coming II government with glad con,
sent, has been denied those rights of
citizenship which We're solemnly prem
ised when an American army invaded
the island for the purpose of driving
out the S%paniardS. Our first act of con
troll Of Porto Rico was to faSteD upon
its people a tariff tax for the benefit of
the Sugar Trust. We have made of them
a forbidden people in our scheme of
governments people who are 50 per
cent citizens of a nation which declares
that all men are born free and equal.
We have violated u own Constitution
In order to do this evil thing at the die
tation Of the trusts.
III we are now to govern the Philip
pines as the trusts shall direct, the pros
pect is a disheartening one to consistent
American eyes The. natives of those
islands will be American subjects, not
American citizens. and this is a thing
abhorrent to American principles as for
mulated by the liberty-loving men who
established the American Government.
We will impose upon them the great
wrong of taxation without representa-
ton, in resentment of which we threw
off the yoke Of England. Ourselves Il
free people. and taught to believe that
all peoples have Il God-siven right to
freedom, we will deny freedom to the
people Of the Philippines.
The Presidents Philippine policy, as
now outlined, is ominous. If it prevails
and shall live as creating the newly eS-
tablished order of things under the
American flag, the beginning of the end
Of the true Americanism is at hand. We
must face this plain truth. Calling our
selves a Republic and committing the
sins of Empire is not Americanism. 1t
is the reputation of Americanism, and
must be S accepted.

The ST. Louis Chapter Of the Daughters
Of the American Revolution proposes 10 hon
or the memory of Pontiac. Indian chief
and leader of the Ottawas. by erecting n
bronze tablet. handsomely carved and suit
ably Inscribed. in the rotunda Of the South
ern Hotel.
Action in regard to the matter was taken
on Wednesday afternoon at the chapter
business meeting that preceded the musi-
cal given by Mrs. Huntington Smith. at
her residence. No. .S2l Locust street.
The tablet, which is to be made by Rob-
ort Bringhurst. from: drawings submitted
by him to the committee Oh Wednesday,
will! occupy i prominent place in the South
ern Hotel rotunda, permission from the
hotel authorities having been obtained; ana
is destined to attract favorable attention
during the Worlds Fair, when thousands
of visitors will pass before it.
No more fitting place could be selected for
such Il memorial, since tradition has 1t that
the bones of the great Ottawa chief rspose
beneath the foundations OF the hotel, the
site of the old fort being in that section
OF this city, bounded by Fourth and Wall
nut streets.
Some historic facts concerning the Ottawa
CHIEF and the especial reason for thus hon.
oring his memory are apropos. Pontiac,
who is described by all historians as being
powerful. revengeful and a mighty Indian
warrior. was born in 1is0 on the Ottawa
River. and WIS treacherously killed b. IL
