need be no apprehension OF danger to the
property on either side, unless IN case

THE plaintiff and his predecessors in
the title to his plot of land have certainly
taken great liberties with the westerly

MUCH DISORDER.
Developed Today in Connection
With st. Louis Strike.

st. Louis. May 1S.-As a result Of eff
forts to open its system under police
protection the Transit company at 1
o'clock today was running 1874 cars on
its various lines. Of this number 81 are
running on the Lindell apd Parke ave
nue divisions. Another conference with
the company is desired by the union.
Chairman Edwards of the grievance
committee stated his afternoon that
the union would present again its pro-
position of Thursday, which proposition
was rejected by President Whitaker of
h
Patrolman Barton was shot in the
head and wounded today by some IN
known person while riding on a Jeffer-
son avenue car. He will not die.
Disturbances are reported at a num-
Der of points along the lines of the St.
Louis Transit company. J.. Richards, a
motorman who came here from Cleve-
land, was shot and probably fatally
wounded at the corner of Laclede and
Grand avenue. JOIN Ficks, an employee
of the Transit company, was hot at
Prairie and Easton emu
At one o'clock a crowd gathered at
the corner of Fourth and Morgan streets
and upset a wagon containing coffee
and lunch for the non-union men run
ming cars on the Easton avenue line.
The crowd then turned the wagon up
side down and drew it across the tracks
and repeated the operation as often as
it was removed. There were no police
in sight.

ator Chambers original notice the reso-
luton will come up in the senate at 1
O'Clock tomorrow and by direction of
the committee he will make
efforts to secure early consideration OF
1t. There was 40 vote on the question
of reference of the credentials under
the lieutenant governors appointment
but there is no doubt that the commit
tee holds the reference should be mad
especially in view of Governor Smiths
letter. senator Pritchard and Harris
expressed themselves as opposed to the
reference of the credentials when they
arrive.
The principal participants in the con-
troversy over the motion to press the
committee resolution were Senators
Turley for the motion and Pritchard i'll
opposition. Mr.. Turley took the position
that when the senate assumed ju~riSdic-
ton of the ease it no longer rested with
Mr.. Clark to determine it by r~esigning,
while Mr.. Pritchard held that the right
of resignation was a personal right and
could be exercised at any time. He also
commended that the acanc in the seat
occupied by Mr.. Clark began when the
latter made the announcement of res
ignation.
There were some references to the re-
appointment of Mr.. Clark by the lieu
tenant governor, indicating the opinion
on the part of some of the senators that
1t was not in accord with the senator
ial idea Of securing a seat in the SEN
ate.

MISS HENDERSON VERY ILL
Speakers Daughter Reported to Be IL
a Dangerous Condition.

Washington, May 1S.-Miss Belle
Henderson, second and My unmarried
daughter of the speaker Of the house, is
lying dangerously i'll at a s~anitarium in
Philadelphia. The nature of Miss Hen
dersOn's malady is not definitely de-
termined, but it is feared that she will
be obliged to undergo an operation.
Her health has been failing for the last
two ear
During the latter part of the winter
h was obliged to withdraw entirely
from society, and Mrs. Henderson has
been constantly in attendance upon her
herself, preparing every mouthful Of
food which her daughter has eaten in
the last six months.
Miss Henderson is young and exceed
ingly accomplished. Like her dis
tinguished father, she has remarkable
musical talents. She plays on several
instruments and possesses a soprano
voice Of unusual depth and sweetness.
She is also a linguist of some ability,
and throughout her fathers long official
career she has had the reputation of be-
ing a studious and earnest-minded girl.
She is bou %, tall, with brown eyes
and hair, and resembles her father to a
marked degree.

provides that the statutes of the Unit
ed States relative to ~extradition between
the United States and countries with
which the United States has treaties
of xtradition shall apply to the ex-
tradition of fugitives from justice from
Cuba, while the government of that ISL
and is exercised under the authority Of
the United States. This section is di-
rected to the Nicely case. The second
section is to guard against future
troubleS in the possessions yer which
the United States has unquestioned con-
troll. 1t provides that the domestic ex-
tradition now in force between the va
rious states shall be extended to the
Philippines, Guam, Hawaii and Porto
Rico.
1.-The proposed legislation said the
attorney general last night, lis not in
the nature of a confession. I believe
we already have sufficient authority to
extradite Nicely, but I do not want to
leave the question in doubt. I wan to
avoid the delay which will be unavoid-
out, for it would take some time to Sc
cure a decision, nj there will be an
appeal by the side against which the
decision may be rendered. By this law
which I have asked congress to enact
we will make assurance doubly sure"
While the attorney general is thus
confident that Nicely could be extradit-
ed under present laws, his confidence is
not shared by some leading interna-
tional lawyers who nav examined into
this.
Senator Davis, the chairman of the
committee on foreign relations, is
among those who believe there is no
authority at he present time for ex-
traditing Nicely.
