OHIO LAWS IN BAD TANeLE
Extra Session of the Legislature May
He Necessary to straighten
Matters.

COLUMBUS, o.. June 2s.-An extra ses-
sion OF the Ohio legislature now seems GER
tain. The supreme court during the present
week has held a number of important laws
to be invalid.
Decisions handed down today held the
Cleveland city government to be unconsti-
tutional, and also a special law enacted for
the city Of Toledo. taking the control OF the
police out OF Mayor Jones' hands.
The court in the Trauger case directs
Governor Nash to appoint lieutenant gov
ernor. Lieutenant Governor Nippert was
appointed probate judge Of Hamilton county
and President Pro Tenn Archer OF the senate
was supposed to succeed the lieutenant gov
ernor. Ths contention Of Trauger that there
is vacancy In the once is sustained.
The court also sustained the validity OF
the Roger act, which limits the jurisdiction
Of the supreme court TO certain class OF
cases and takes away 95 per cent Of its
Jurisdiction In appeal cases.
1t is the opinion OF state oficlals that an
extra session OF the legislature will have to
be called TO straighten out these matters.

NO CHANGE IN THE LESSONS
Bunday School Committee Faithfully
Carries out Instructions
of Convention.

DENVER, June 26.-Six special trains
filled with delegates to the tenth annual
international Sunday school convention ar
rived today from the east. The convention
proper will open this afternoon. A prepar-
atory service of prayer and hymns was
held at o'clock this afternoon at the Cen
trail Presbyterian church and at $3.50 O'Clock
a memorial service for the late B. F. Jacobs
of Chicago. chairman of the executive COM
mittee, was held in the Central Presbyterian
church.
The following oficial statement has been
prepared by the international Sunday school
lesson committee.
1t appears from petitions received and
from press notices that there is an entire
misunderstanding concerning the attitude
of the lesson committee toward the quar-
terly temperance lesson
The committee desires to say, first, that
II has faithfully carried out the instruc-
tions of the convention and prepared the
quarterly temperance lesson; second, that
II has never contemplated or discussed al
any meeting since Its appointment any
proposition looking to the discontinuance
OF the quarterly temperance lesson or any
modification OF the instructions received
from the convention; and, thirdly, that the
lesson committee has no intention OF
recommending to the convention any mod
ihcation of the present instructions con-
cerning the temperance lesson.
The international executive committee
met this forenoon at the Brown Palace
hotel, the vice chairman. W. N. Hartshorn
of Boston, presiding.

ONLY TWO PERSONS KILLED
Property Loss in Indiana Tornado
Estimated at One Million
Dollars.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, June 26.-Returns
carefully gathered by the News indicate
that the tornado which swept across the
state from northwest to southwest yester-
day was the most destructive storm that
has visited the state since 1877.
The path of destruction extended for
about $50 miles and varied in width from
three to six miles. In this path factories
were wrecked. houses unroofed and blown
from their foundations, windows and doors
crushed by the force of the wind, thousands
Of acres of growing crops were torn to
pieces or cut into shreds by the hail and
barns we're demolished.
Cattle were killed and injured, machinery
was wrecked, forests were twisted and bent
and broken by the fury of the gale and
telegraph and telephone poles were snapped
on and the wires scattered in confusion
along the highways and the lines OF rail-
way.
Great as the damage was and tense as
the fury OF the storm, II is remarkable
that only two persons were killed-James
Van Hoy, a young man of 22, crushed in a
falling barn at Pendleton. and James
Bailey, a farmer, caught in the wreck at
McCordsville.
conservative estimate of the total
damage in the path of the storm places 1t
in the neighborhood Of $1,000,000.

TURN DOWN GENERAL STRIKE
SILK workers at Patterson Hold ses.
sion and Decide VIII Re-
tain Their Jobs.

PATERSON, N. j., June 26.--At a meeting
tonight in which were delegates from all
branches Of the silk industry here 1t was
voted not to order a general strike in sym
pathy with that of the dyers' heleprs. A
full consideration was given the matter and
the vote stood: Against a strike, 49, in
favor OF a strike, s. The Socialist Trade and
Labor alliance withdrew and did not vote
T hevotes in favor Of a general strike
were cast by the Dyers' Helpers union and
the Broad Silk weavers' union, each.
Those who voted against we're the Ribbon
Weavers' union. Wrappers and Loom Fix
ers unions, each.
1t was generally argued that thousands
out Of work at this time would do no good
and would hasten the end Of the dyers help
ers' strike. 1t was contended that 1t would
be better for those who could work to do
so and contribute toward the financial sup
port Of those now out.
1t is expected that many weavers and 9TH
ers who have not worked since a week ago
will now return to the looms the step hav-
ing the approval of the trades unions
At a meeting earlier in the day Strike
Chairman McGrath made a bitter speech
against the presence in the city of the mil
itia. He claimed the local police were suf-
ficient to preserve order. He demanded that
the soldiers be sent home and went so far
as to attack their habits. The speech at
tracted the more attention because hereto
fore McGrath has been very mild in his ut
terances and counselled against any vio-
lence.
Governor Murphy is expected here tomor-
row to look over the situation. He will con-
fer with Mayor Hinchcliffe, General Camp
bell and Captain Billson Of the police. The
governor will withdraw the troops or allow
them to remain as the city authorities say.

Company.

the suit Of Mrs. Miriam Berger against the
United States Steel corporation to restrain
the conversion of 5000, 900 900 worth OF pre-
ferred stock into a like amount Of bonds
was resumed in the court OF errors today.
Counsel for Mrs. Berger made an exhaustive
argument and was closely questioned by
members OF the court He contended that
the act Of 1902 which was passed last win
ter to permit the company TO carry out its
purpose was clearly unconstitutional, and
that no right existed under the general cor
poration act TO reduce the preferred stock
OF corporation without payment for the
same in cash. that the present plan OF sub
stituting bonds for preferred stocks was an
injustice to those holders Of preferred stock
that had not been substituted. Counsel for
the steel corporation will conclude the ar
gument this afternoon.
