the case of Mrs Gertrude Saunders, the
young widow who has been serving as
postmistressfo OF. Newcastle, Henry County.

by the County Republican Committee.
Mr.. Mckinley notified Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General Bristow to retain
MIS- Saunders in office, with instructions
that she be efnat disturbed as long as her
duties We're satisfactorily performed
The decision comes as a surprise TO Re
publicans generally as Mrs. Saunders re
moval was demanded by Senator Debee
and the most prominent Republicans in
the Bluegrass State, and her retention Is
a hard slap at the party officials
After investigating both sides of the
case, the President. it is said. discovered
that the County Republican Commlttee
of Henry County was nothing more than
a gathering of eight of the incumbents Oh
the county postoffices These gentlemen
meet every election year and among the
resolutions adopted praising the National
Administration include a paragraph en-
dorsing their own work as postmasters
and strongly recommend fheir reappoint-
ments.
The trouble this year came when a DR..
Shaw. a wealthy dentist in the county
and stanch Republican, demanded the
postmastership and received the endorse
ment of the county committee, Senator
Deboe. and number of prominent State
Republicans.
Mrs Saunders was notified to call on
Mr.. Bristow at o'clock yesterday after
noon and was then told that she would
not be removed. She is highly elated and

The Southern Railway officials do not
regard the riot between strikers and the

which started several weeks ago, when

FOUGHT WITH A JUDGE.
A Man CIaiminE G. NJ. Pullman as
His Father Arrested.

CHICAGO. June 24.-Gustave II. Beh-
ring. who claims to be a son of George
n. Pullman, and though he was sent to
Germany by the Pullman family. had a
hand-to-hand fight with Frank o. Low
den. Pullman's son-in-law, and Judge
Herbert ]. Davis in the Womans Temple
shortly before noon today.
Judge Davis drew a revolver and hello
Behring at bay while Mr.. Lowden tele-
phoned for tire police. Detectives Thomp-
son and Kane responded TO the call. and
after a struggle subdued Behring, who
fought desperately. He was locked up in
Central police station on the charge of
iisorderly conduct, Mr.. Lowden and Judge
Davis refusing to prefer charges of a
more serious nature against him.
When Behring appeared in Mr.. Low
dens Office he demanded 5000 cash and a
promise from the son-in-law of Pullman
that he would give him $4,000 before next
December in instalments of $4,000, paya-
bic monthly.
Upon Mr.. Lowden's refusal Behring
turned to Judge Davis. He accused him
of having hired the men who held him
up near Lincoln Park in 1898 and robbed
him. as he claims, of the papers which
would have proved he was the son of
George NJ. Pullman. According to Beh-
ring. Judge Davis drew a revolver and
tried TO shoot him.
Judge Davis denies this. He says that
he picked up a paperweight and tried to
defend himself. but had no deadly weapon
Behring insisted that as he turned to
leave the office two men, whom he de-
clared were Judge Davis and Mr.. Lowden,
sprang upon him. and that one held him
in a corner while the other ran to the
telephone.

SEEKING A LOST PICTURE.
A study i'm Water CoIors which Mys-
tcriousIy Disappeared.

LOST-About two years ago, a picture in water
eolors; subject, corner OF studio With figure Of
young girl seated near fireplace. Any informa-
ton given concerning il will be literally
warded at 1722 Street
The above advertisement, appearing in
yesterday mornings Times. developed an
interesting little story. worth telling. The
picture referred to was the work of Henry
A. Johnson. a painter and sculptor OF
some little note, who was for ten years
the representative Of the United States
as Consul to Venice, Italy. The picture
was the property of the mother of the
artist, Mrs. Albert Johnson. who lost the
picture two years ago and now adver-
tises for its return.
Mrs. Johnson formerly resided on Penn
sylvania Avenue, near Twenty-frst Street,
in n house maintained by a Miss Cherry.
In removing from this place to her pres
ent residence on f Street the picture dis
appeared. Mrs. Johnson has not seen il
since. and does not know whether it was
lost by the movers or in what manner it
disappeared. 1t is by the advice of
friends, after this long interim, that the
present advertisement was placed in hope
of recovering the lost painting.
The picture represents the studio corner
of the artists place in New York. and is
especially valued, aside from its intrinsic
artistic worth, as a memento of the
younger days of the artist, when he re-
sided in this country. 1t is so long since
the picture has been seen that the recol-
lections of its details have been more or
less dimmed Mrs. Johnson, however.
recoIlects that It represents a scene in
the studio. where many objects of art
were displayed. Above a mantelpicce was
hung a crucifix, which held the attention
as one of the principal features of the
picture. A rug reposed on the noor be-
meath the mantel, and girl, whose iden-
tity is of no special present Significance,
was pictured in the general scene.
The artist, Mr.. Johnson, has done some
clever work which has received recognf-
ton. He is the sculptor of a magnificent
altar which adorns the Roman Catholic
Church of Our Lady of Good Counsel in
New York City. and which has been gen
orally commended as a work of exquisite
art In the Corcoran Art Gallery Is dis
played another example of Mr.. Johnson s
art in the Venetian Girl" which oc-
cupies a distinguished place in the ex-
hibit loaned to the gallery by Mrs. john
son, mother of the artist. The work IS
the sculptured bust of most beautiful
girl
Mrs. Johnson's home is adorned with
numerous samples Of her sons artistic
abilities Many of the themes are drawn
from Venice, where a greater part of the
artists life has been spent Mr.. Johnson
is now regularly domiciled in the City of
Gondolas, and is wedd I'd to daughter of
his adopted country.

TO FIGHT WESTERN PACKERS.
Central Labor Union Takes Action
Against Unfair Firms.

At a meeting of the Central Lehor I'm
ion last night the fight begun by labor
organizations in the West against the
Cudahy Brothers, meat packers Of Kan
sas City, and Kingan & Co, of Indianap-
oils, Ind, was taken up and will be waged
to the utmost extent of the strength and
influence of the local body. With this
view, committees were appointed last
night to wait on local dealers in West
era meats to learn, if possible, which of
them patronize the firms mentiond. The
local dealers will then be asked by the
representatives of local labor to discon-
tinue their patronage until the firms
named are fair to organized labor in the
West.
It was explained that the firm of Kin
gan & Co.. has been declared unfair by
the Central Labor Union of Indianapolis,
because it refuses to sell it's products to
firms who deal in union made goods, and
is unfair to organized labor. The Cuda-
by Bros, it was stated, have been de-
clared unfair by the Firemen's Union, of
Kansas City, because they refused to ac-
cede to its demands for an eight-hour
work-day, and also to grant an increase
of p cents per day IN the rate of wages.
The early closing hour movement here
is also being agitated, and there is every

dorsed the movement.

THE EQUINE EPIDEMIC.
OficiaIs Have No Reports as Yet on
the InnuenZn.

The expert veterinarians Of the Bureau
of Animal Industry, Department OF Agri
culture have not yet investigated the
slight epidemic of influenza prevalent
among horses in Washington and New
York City.
D. E. Salmon, chief of the bureau. said
yesterday that the epidemic had not
been reported to him through any of the
experiment stations scattered throughout
the country. and that from what he could
learn the trouble was similar to that ex-
perienced in years gone by. These com
plants were thoroughly investigated at
the time he said. and unless some un-
looked-for feature developed there was lit
tie necessity for investigation at this
time.
Not many more cases have been devel-
oped in Washington than were repOrte
yesterday. The extremely hot weathe'
now setting in is apt to stimulate fever
if horses become i'll.
Veterinarians agree in recommending
that horse owners should keep a close
watch on their animals and relieve them
from work the minute there are any
sign.i - ever. sore throat, or loss Of ap-
petite. Exposure to the glaring sun or 10
drafts or heavy winds viii serve only to
aggravate the trouble.

threw club which he had in his
hand. at the bluecoat, striking him on
the head and knocking him downstairs.

interest by the crowd outside, now took
place between the three. Addison, fight
ing with the strength of Samson, man
aged to knock Johnson down, when he
was stunned by a terrific blow by Crown
with his night stick. He soon revived
however, and renewed hostilities with a
Yigor.
The two bluecoats finally managed to
drag Addison to the stairs and to the
horror of the crowd outside all three lost
their balance and fell hcadlong to the
bottom. None of them was seriously
injured, however, and Addison, now great
ly weakened. was soon overpowered and
taken to the station house where he was
charged with assault and battery. He
will be given a hearing in Police Court
this morning.
After landing their prisoner in the sta
tion, the two policemen changed their
tattered garments and Crown, who was
the worst injured of the pair went to
