GIVES THE CASINO TO THE SIRES.

THE sHUBERTS PLAN TO APPEAL. At ONCE FROM
JUSTICE BOI.TE's DECISION.
Justice Herman Bolte. of the With Municipal
District Court, handed down a decision yesterday
i'm favor of the Sire Brothers in the case involving
the possession Of the Casino.
The Sire Brothers refused to vacate the premises
on the first of the month. when the Shubert Broth
ers. of the Herald Square Theatre. endeavored to
take possession by virtue of lease from the Bixby
estate. Both sides declared themselves in the
right, and reached the point of using force. The
Sire Brothers could not be ousted and Judge
Bolte has sustained their legal claims. He awarded
them the further occupancy of the theatre until
May, 1903. on the ground that verbal lease had
been given to them
The Shuhert Brothers yesterday said they would
appeal the case Immediately. The situation pre-
vents their producing musical comedy which they
had arranged To stage at the Casino. The Sire
Brothers said that they would the theatre at
once. though they would rs yet not announce their
intended attraction.

action of the standing committee in preferring
charges. These were based upon the alleged
fact that DR.. Richey had gone West, absenting
himself from examinations and thereby vio-
lating certain sections of the statutes governing
the seminary. To these charges the professor
replied with "A denial, and declared that he had
informed the dean of his proposed trip. This
found TO be the case. Accordingly. the
board Of trustees voted that the motion recon-
mending DR.. Richey's dismissal be rescinded
and that he be informed of this action. 1t was
moreover. specified in the letter that the deans
overlooking the letter sent by Dr. Richey was
the cause Of the misunderstanding. The letter
offers the professor the right to withdraw and
receive half his annual salary, but it also
quires him to agree to the request before Sep
tember !. In point of fact, if the doctor does
not choose to retire he is still entitled to con
tinue a professor, as he is at present.
At the General Theological Seminary last
night the action Of the board of trustees with
conversation DR. Richey is the idol Of the un-
dergraduates. His faculty for expression, his
droll sayings and his wit have made him uni
versally popular. To the undergraduate mind
there could he only one position, and that 10y
atty to DR.. Rchey. The action Of the alumni
on the previous day, in vigorously protesting
against the steps taken by the board Of trustees
was heartily indorsed. The matter Of round
robin was earnestly debated.
Another strong factor in determining the posi-
tion Of the undergraduates is the publication
and circulation Of the correspondence between
Dr. Richey and the board Of trustees. This was
published in pamphlet form by Dr. Richey, to

OF CIVIL HEARING.

tBT TELEGRAPH To THE TRIBUSE.l
Chicago May abandonment of some Of ths
packers by the federal grand jury is a possi-
bility although no definite action has been be-
gun. When the second days session OF the
federal grand jury ended to-day IL was
nounced that the session might continue next
week The jury will meet again tomorrow. and
at that time il will be determined whether the
adjournment for the present term is final. DIS
trict Attorney Bethea has neither affirmed nor
denied the prospect of an inquiry into the beef
case by the federal body of inquisitors. The
reason given for the proba bility OF another
sion next week is that some postOfice cases are
not yet ready for consideration but il is thought
that the real reason is that the hearing OF the
civil case against the packers is to take place
next Tuesday. and the outcome Of that hearing
-ncoUrage the government prosecutors to
>-cgin criminal proceedings. This could be done
later by calling special grand jury. but would
cause additional expense and delay.
Chairman Knapp. of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, reached Chicago to-day. ready to-
start hearing tomorrow TO investigate the
complaint of the Chicago Live Stock Exchange
Incidentally, before the commission departs it
may do some investigating on it's own account
as TO the dealings of the packers and the rail-
ways Mr. Knapp. however. said:
