"PITTsBURG RIPPER BILL"
City Executives object to BEING
LegisIated Out of Office.

LegisIated Out of Office.
PITTSBURG, March 1.-The Pitts
burg Ripper Bill" which passed the leg
islature yesterday, will be fought Vigor-
ously by the present city officers of
Pittsburg and Allegheny, who, under the
provisions of the new act, are legislated
out of office. In a signed statement
Mayor William j. Diehl of this city,
says he will retain his position as mayor
cf Pittsburg until the highest courts de-
clare otherwise Without the seal of
Pittsburg no municipal acts are legal
and he asserts that he will keep the seal
until the supreme court of the United
States decides that he has no right 10
use it, The battle ground, he says, Will
he in the courts and not in the city
kall. as a seat in his office will not vest
the new recorder with the rights to be
the city's executive. When the ne"
charter will become effective is a ques-
ton. The opponents of the bill hgure
NOT until August or September, even
though the act should be declared con-
stitutional while it's advocates expect
to take control as soon as the governor
anpoints the recorder or not later IMAM
the first of next month.
This afternoon Controller Lewis an
nounced that after Gov. Stone signs the
Ripner bill and that measure becomes d
law he will refuse to recognize either
Mavor Diehl or the new recorder or sign
their warrants until the courts oecloe
,,bo is the chief executive of the CITY.
This would result in the stoppage OF all
citv work and make it Impossible TO pay
the officials or employees pending the set
tlement of the litigation.

Senor Tamayo chairman Of the rela-
tions committee
Senor Tamayo said at the time that
the committee had reached it's conclu-
slons, but he was urged to withhold an
announcement of those conclusions until
the proposed amendment had been con-
sidered In order to avoid the possibility
OF radical changes Of opinion if the
amendment should be adopted
The convention nevertheless insisted
upon announcing its views publicly and
Immediately before presenting them to
Gen. Wood who did not receive them
in official form until twenty hours
later.
The conservative element feels that
this act, coupled with the conventions
ignoring of the views of the executive
department at Washington has placed
the Cubans in an unenviable light
Several delegates on hearing that con-
gress had adopted the amendment said
this would not affect the attitude of the
convention, as it's members would not
agree to the scheme of relations sug-
gested in the amendment.

In Trial of Mrs. Prince-Kennedy for
Murder.
Kansas City, June 1.-THE state in
the case of Lulu Prince-Kennedy on
trial for numbering her husband rest
ed yesterday afternoon and the court
adjourned until today, when the de-
fendant's side will be presented. The
case will probably be given the jury
Saturday. Yesterday the state ad-
duced additional evidence to prove the
claim that Kennedy was forced to
marry Lulu Prince at the point of a
revolver and Will Prince furnished the
weapon and nerved her up to commit
ting the crime. Today the defense be-
gins it's testimony to show that Mrs
Kennedy inherited insanity, that Ken
nedy ruined her and that his refusal
to acknowledge her as his wife tenn
porarily deprived her Of reason.
