the funeral of Gen. Lucas Meyer Their
present intention is to return to London at
an early date for the transaction of busi-

generals not TO visit the naval review was
due to the influence of Mr.. Fischer is not
true. Their real reason for declining the
invitation Saturday was that they did not
consider their attire quite suitable for
ceremonious visit. and the short notice con-

however. glad OF the opportunity of paying

after they made their necessary purchases,

ALL FRANCHISES VOID
THOSE GRANTED UNDER THE ROC
ERS LAW DECLARED ILLEGAL.
Decision Affecting the Cincinnati and
Other Street Railways i'm Ohio
Relief to BE Asked.

CINCINNATI, Aug. 1s-The Superior
Court, Judges Dempsey, Smith and Ferris
concurring, to-day declared unconstitu-
tional the Rogers law, which granted the
Cincinnati Street-railway Company an ex-
tension of its franchise for fifty years, ex-
piring in 1916.
If the Supreme Court sustains the Su-
perior Court franchises granted elsewhere
under the same law will be void The court
held that the Rogers law arbitrarily classi-
fies street railways and municipalities and
that it is not uniform. The law gave a fif-
ty-year extension of franchises onlv for
such street railways complied with its
conditions on the day ii went into opera
ton. The street railways are operated by
the Cincinnati Traction Company. con-
trolled by the Elkins-widener syndicate.
which has back of it the old Cincinnati
Street-raiway Company. The street rail-
way attorneys state that they will file ex-
ceptions and new petitions at once. The
street railways attorneys expect the deci-
sion reversed In any event relief Will be
sought at the extra session of the Legisla-
ture next week.
The suit was brought by ex-Solicitor
Theodore Hostran for taxpayers, attack
ing the right OF the CINCINNATI Board of
Administration to extend the franchise
while the lines were being consolidated
under what commonly known as the
Rogers fifty-year extension law As the
charters of many of the different lines
have since expired the effect is sweeping
in this city. About two years ago the
consolidated system here was leased by
the Cincinnati Traction Company and be-
came part of the Elkins- Widener syndi-
cate. 1t is stated that this lease is a COW
enant of warranty and that the burden of
defense rests on the old Cincinnati Street
railway Company, of which John Kilgour
was president. Under the present arrange
ment the city received per cent of the
gross earnings and 81 per lineal foot per
car Last year the revenue from this
centage from gross receipts
While there was gossip to-day about in
terurban lines not being able to enter the
city and possibly lower fares there was no
stampede on the local Stock Exchange The
stock during the afternoon dropped from
l42 to 1S7, but there was no rush of offer
ings.
Judge Dempsey. who handed down the
decision stated that there would be no en-
try made until all the judges returned from
their vacation, and that the decision was
announced now so as TO give an oppOrtu-
nifty for action at the extra session of the
Legislature next week The decision puts
the responsibility on the General Assembly

REMINGTON GREW DEsPoNDENT
AND YESTERDAY AFTERNOON ENDED
HIS LIFE IN CLUBHOUSE.
New York business Man and Well
known at NewpOrt-Suicide of a
Salt Lake Lawyer.

NEWPORT, r. l., Aug. 1S.-Disappoint-
ment over a broken matrimonial engage
ment is believed to have been the cause
of the suicide here to-day of Robert Read
ing Remington, of New York. Mr.. Rem
ington came over to the clubhouse from
his rooms at the La Forge cottage about
l o'clock this afternoon and, after read
ing the papers for some time, went to the
committee rooms on the second floor. An
hour and a half later two muffied reports
were heard but those in the building paid
no attention to them. Later Mr.. Reming-
toms body was found by member who
went to the committee room. Remington
evidently had been dead for some time.
local undertaken took charge of the
body.
Mr.. Remington was well known among
the summer residents in this city and had
been closely identified with the social world
here for the last seven or eight years. His
engagement to Miss May Van Allen, daugh-
ter of James Van Allen and granddaugh-
ter of Mrs. William Astor, had been dis
cussed for some months. At first IL was
denied and then affirmed, but ii is generally
believed there was a definite engagement,
which, however, was broken some three
weeks ago. 1t is said that Mr.. Van Allen
was greatly opposed to the engagement
from the beginning. Since then Mr.. Rem
ington has been despondent, although when
asked about the engagement he steadily af-
firmed that he was TO be married in the
fall. He left the city about a week ago.
breaking up his domestic arrangement here
and sending away all his effects. Last
Thursday, however, he suddenly returned
to Newport He had frequented the read
ing room of the leading club of Newport
and seemed to desire to be left alone.
When the body was discovered blood was
coming from the mouth and revolver was
found by the dead mans side. A physician
found that three shots had been fired from
the revolver, and an examination of the
head showed that all three had taken ef-
feet The first bullet apparently plowed
across the forehead, cutting a deep cash,
and the second glanced up over the head
making a furrow on the top of the crani-
um, but still not entering the skull. The
third shot was fired through the mouth and
the bullet entered the brain, death proba-
bly, resulting instantly.
Mr. Remington was thirty-fve years of
age and a member of the firm of Reming
ton Bros, of New York. He had always
been known as man of very quiet tastes
His death has caused a tremendous sensa-
ton here.
Tonight Mr. Remington's brother tele-
graphed from New York to have the body
prepared for burial. 1t will be taken to
Pittsburg, the former home of the Rem
ingtons.
