Ernst and Reeves Get Decision
Against the several Spirits
Making Companies.

NEW YORK, May 1s,-Judgment was
granted yesterday by Justice o'Gorman In
supreme court against the American spir-
its Manufacturing company and it's directors

and Frederick @. Reeves against the COM
pany above mentioned, the Spirits Distrib-
uting company. the Standard Distilling &

the American Spirits Manufacturing COM
pany, claimed that Il was organized in 1895
with a capital OF ts5, ,000. 900 and that a year
afterwards its assets amounted TO over
ssT, ,oo0, 900. The directors OF the corpora
tion subsequently, formed various subsidiary
companies, to which they transferred all
the distiiicries and plants OF tho American
Spirits Manufacturing company in return
for their stock and finally formed the Dis
tilling Company OF America.
The suit was brought TO compel the di-
rectors OF the American Spirits Manufaotur-
ing company 20 replace the properties and
assets alleged TO have been diverted into
the treasury OF that corporation. The
Ernsts and Reeves allege they own about
$500 900 worth OF the stock.
A referee will be appointed TO ascertain
what property and assets will have to be
returned or replaced. Tha will take some
time. The judgment holds that the formA-
ton Of the separate companies IL illegal.

ant TO Venezuela.

TRINIDAD, B. W. l., Saturday. May H.
The seaport Of Carupano In the state Of
Bermudez Venezuela, will be bombarded
again today at p. m. by the government
forces. The town will be attacked from
both land and sea. The Venezuelan gov
ernment notified the foreign consuls forty

w. Bowen, was the only foreign represen-
tatlve there who received notification OF
the bombardment Of Carupano. and It is
said that Mr.. Bowen urged that no un-
fortified town In Venezuela be unneces-
sarily bombarded.
The German cruiser Gazelle is the only
foreign warship at Carupano. 1t will pro-
tect the French as well as the German res
idents there.
1t Is reported here that an engagement
will be fought tomorrow between the revo-
lutionary and government forces which will
decide the future Of the president OF the

DR.. HIRScH STIRS CRITICS
Chicasoan's Plan for Jews TO Adopt
Christian Sabbath is Con-
demned.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., May 1s.-The bi-
enDial convention Of the Independent Order
Of the Free Sons Of Israel met today at
Hotel Rudolf with $50 delegates present
from all parts OF the country. The object
OF the organization is ito unite the sons
OF Israel in the interests Of common hu-
manity and to spread intelligence and en-
lightenment and more firmly bind the ties
which unite mankind, to succor the dis
tressed and to relieve the needy"
Grand Master Hamburger. in his message
which was read at today's session, states
that In the aggregate millions Of dollars
have been dispensed by the order in re-
lieving the sick and distressed.
The following officers were chosen after
the convention had been called TO order by
Grand Master Harburgerl
William Cans OF New York, chairman; r
c. Hamburger, Chicago, vice chairman
Herman Stelfel New York, second vice
chairman Simon Cohan. Detroit, third vice
chairman, and J. H. Goldsmith, New York
secretary.
The principal work Of the day was the
reading Of the annual report OF the grand
master Of the order, Julius Hamburger.
Considerable discussion was INDUCED IL
privately by the delegates over the sermon
Of Dr. Emil Hirsch Of the Israel temple
Chicago, in whicr 1t is claimed he made
the suggestion that the Jews should adop
the Christian Sunday. The sermon ant
proposition were condemned
Judge Julius Hsrburger of New Yorl
said.
Il am not in favor of any change as sug
| gested In the sermon, and I say that DR.
| Hirsch is too premature In his assertions
| The Sabbath and day of worship for tn
! Jews is too well established in their be
lief and their doctrines to put them asid,
| for modern doctrines"
School Commissioner Benjamin Blumen
| thai Of New York said:
"a minister such as DR.. Hirsch by hi
! utterances, is a detriment instead OF
benefit to Judaism. II DR.. Hirsch canno
| bring Jews together in a city like Chicag
| 1t does not stand to reason that 1t can b
done in New York, and will show him b.
the large attendance Of Jewish men at m
church that his statement as to the Jews
Sabbath being dead is not true. II we hav
such men as DR.. Hirsch we certainly will
meet with destruction
Judge e. Hamburger OF Chicago defende
the proposition, saying:
II believe in anything that will help 4
bring about a day OF worship for the Jews
At present they have none. have alway
been a strong reformer. The time mus

EULoGIzES QUEEN CHRISTINA
Paris Paper Gives Her Credit for Saw
Ing Rather Than wreck

Copyright 1902. by Press Publishing Coz
PARIS, May 1s-(New York World Cable
gram-Specal Telegram.)-Q Christina 8
passing as regent OF Spain is the occasion
OF an article in Figaro. 1t praises the
wisdom with which she, young woman
OF 20, took the reins OF government and
showed q sagacity in political affairs that
had not been suspected. 1t refers to the
disasters that have fallen upon Spain dur
ing her regency. but says they were In
evitable and were lightened through her
discretion insofar as possible.
OF the Spanish American war, the writer
says: Queen Christina only went into 1t
as an inexorable fatality. Far from having
contributed to unchain the ill-omened war
Of which the issue was so unfortunate for
Spain. she neglected nothing which could
retard or prevent rupture. Then, when
ell was finished, when not a CLEAN Of hope
remained, she turned all her stsadfastness
OF purpose, all her wonderful personal in
fiuence to the soothing OF the wounded ma
tlonal pride and the restoration Of confi-
dence to the Spanish people.
History will declare that II she had TO
abandon her colonies she saved her capital.
Queen Maria Christina deserves the graft
tude of Spain. All her subjects, not ex-
cepting the most bitter and irreconcilable
adversaries of the kingdom, unite In recog-
mixing and in proclaiming her. And 1t is
not saying too much to affirm that II there
have been more popular monarohs beyond
the Pyrennees than she, there have never
been any more esteemed. Europe
venerates and admires her. The entire
world has for her only praiAes and respect
full sympathy. AS for US, we owe her a
special tribute of gratitude for the friend
liness that she has never ceased to testify
for us, and for the constant advances OF
her government toward ours, even In spite

Lake physician had prescribed stryehnino
pills for Miss Williams and the orders
we're that she should take them before
meals She was also given pills containing
iron which were to be taken after meals.
On arising today she remarked to her
maid that she was feeling better and went
to breakfast From what Coroner jackson
could gather after the death, Miss Will
liams, after she went again to her room,
took several OF the strychnine pills. prob
ably mstaking them for the iron pills,
but the point is not clear. The death,
however, is put down as Of a purely acci-
dental character.
Some little time after taking the medi-
cine Miss Williams complained OF feeling
very Ill. DR.. D. p. Pease was called in
and. finding her In a serious condition,
asked what was the matter. She answered.:
II took an overdose OF strychnine pills"
The physician administered antidotes
without avail and twenty minutes after he
was in attendance Miss Williams was dead.
DR.. Pease said afterward:
There is no mystery about It at all.
1t was simply an overdose Of strychnine
pills, and they were not taken with suicidal
intent"
The body will be taken to Detroit to-
morrow morning. Coroner Jackson was in
formed that Miss williams was engaged to
be married to Pitts Dufield Of this city, a
son OF General H. NJ. Dufield Of Detroit,

a tremendous upshoot Of smoke and dust
occurred and in a few moments the ship
was covered with fine dust-llke cement. We
were about three miles distant from the
island at the time. The ships engines were
put under full speed and for a time consid-

hour or two the ship was covered with dust
and enveloped in a thick cloud and the all
