DEMURRER SUSTAINED,
Decision Rendered I'm Suit to Test
RuIfnE of Secretary Gage

Justice Bradley of the Supreme Court Of
the District of Columbia this afternoon
rendered his decision in the case of George
Hamilton, George c. Chalwell & Co.. Monri-
lyan, Heinman & Co.. Russell & Co, Aver
i'll & Co. and VIM. ], Butterfied, against
the Secretary Of the Treasury and the
board of tea experts appointed by the Sec
retary, argued several months ago.
The object of the suit was to test the
legality of the action of the Secretary of
the Treasury in fixing certain standards of
tea for importation into the United States
A petition for writ of certiorari was filed
The Secretary Of the Treasury demurred
thereto, asserting that the petitioners, who
are New York importers of teas made no
showing that entitled them to the writ.
This raised, in effect, the whole question of
the propriety of the Secretary's action.
Justice Bradley sustained the demurrer
and denied the prayers of the petition. The
court held that whether or not other rea-
son exists for sustaining the demurrer. how
ever, it must be sustained because neither
the acts of the Secretary Of the Interior
nor those of the board of tea experts were
judicial in their nature. and they cannot
be reviewed upon certiorari"

Three Arrests Made Among the Strik-

Three Arrests Made Among the Strik-
ing Messenger Roys.
Three arrests were made last night by
Policemen Simpson and Grant of the first
precinct. growing out of the strike inau-
gurated by the Postal Telegraph Company's
messenger boys two days ago. The four
youthful strikers were taken to the house
of detention and charged with disorderiy
condnct. Before they were arrested some
trouble was experienced between the strik-
ers and the so-calied 'scabs" Some Of the
boys resorted to force. and the sympathy OF
bystanders seemed to be with the strikers.
1t is stated that the strike would have
lasted but a short time had it not been that
the boys were urged to remain away from
work and cause trouble for the companys
onicers as wen as to make things lively for
the boys who had taken their places The
bicycles of the successors to the strikers
were Kept in the building. for fear their
tires might suffer. About $50 O'Clock,
when 1t was time for the night boys to go
on duty. the most serious trouble occurred
Some of the boys were interfered with, and
hnally the police were called upon to rem
der assistance. After the arrests had been
made and the other boys had been driven
away from the vicinity of the Postal Tele-
graph Company's office the work of deltv-
ering messages was carried on without in
terruDtion.
Sid1euce horne, vincent skinner and
John F'laherty the three boys who were
arrested In front of the Postal Telegraph
office last night. were arraigned before
Judge kimbail in the juvenile court this

these three defendants were in crowd of
about 30 persons which gathered I'm front
of the Office and attempted to interfere
with the boys who were working"
Samuel D. Mercer, an operator, said that
| Thorne had threatened to knock his head
off -....-.
The boys denied that they had taken part
in any disorder or that they had used any
influence to persuade any of the messengers
to leave their work. Judge Kimball
thought the case had been made out. how
ever, and imposed fine of SO ON Thorne
and So each upon Skinner and Flaherty.
Unless the fines are paid they will be COM
mitted to the care of the board of ch'l-
dren's guardians for six months each.
