WABASH MEN WIN.

 From striking Dissolved.
 St. Louis, April In the United States district court to-day Judge FL mer B. Adams handed down a decision dissolving the injunction, granted on March 3, restraining officials of the Brotherhoods of Locomotive Bremen and Railroad Trainmen and other labor leaders from influencing in any way or ordering the men employed on the Wa bash railroad system to strike.
 In his decision Judge Adams analyses the bill of complaint upon which the provisional restraining order was is- sued, showing that the gravamen of the charge was that the defendants had en- tered into an unlawful and malicious conspiracy to secure recognition by ex- ercising their powers as supreme and controlling officers of the Brotherhoods of Bremen and Trainmen to force an undesired strike upon the men. who were members of their organizations, and prevent their members who were working for connecting lines from ham ding the traffic of the Wabash rail- road

CLEVELAND DENoUNCEs CANARD
Sets al Rest Rumors Regarding HIs
 Visit to Ss. Louis,

Princeton, N. J., April 1.-Former President Cleveland made the following statement to The Associated Press to- night relative to his intended visit to St. Louis to attend the dedicatory eX- ercises of the Louisiana Purchase Ex- position:
 II have had no intention of going any farther than St. Louis and intend returning as soon as possible by the most direct route, and yet in some way it has been given out that l was to go to the Pacific coast and visit Colo rado and California and I don't know how many other states and territories and in consequence of this I have re- ceived numerous letters from good peo- pie in those localities making requests based entirely upon the truth of these reports It may be amusing to those who start such rumors but it produces a reverse effect on those who are made the victims of such an absurd canard."

PENNELL INSURANCE

Now Constitutes Surviving Element or
 Interest in Buffalo Tragedies.
 Buffalo. April 1.-The life insurance of Arthur R. Pennell now constitutes the surviving element of interest in the Pennell- Burdick tragedy.
 From information obtained to-day it appears that the life insurance is the factor that has been working for the postponement of the inquest into the death of Pennell. and is still active in that direction It is claimed on good authority that the action of former Dis trict Attorney Penney in the matter of the Pennell inquest has been misunder- stood and commented upon mistakenly. His apparent desire to have the Pennell inquest postponed has been misinter- preted as an effort to have the Pennell inquest separated from the Burdick in- quest for sentimental reasons. As a matter of fact, MT. Penney, as the attorney for the Pennell heirs, was actuated by financial considerations in his acts, whatever his private feelings may have been.

MT, L.auterbacss Issues Statement.

Nashville, April 1.---Mr. Lauterbach late tonight made the following state ment:
 "The affidavits of James R. 8Keene,
 Talbot J. Taylor and myself were filed.
 showing that MT. Keene owns at least, and has held for some time, 100000 shares of Southern Pacific individually, and that Talbot J. Taylor owns an equal amount, irrespective of any inter- est in the pool, which would increase the holdings to more than S00,00o shares. This suit is brought on Talbot J. Tay- lor's stock, which is not included in the
 pool, and it is entirely on behalf of Tal- bot J. Taylor as firm and has no ref ence to the pool stock. s... MT. Keene never authorized any one | to offer his individual stock or his pool stock for sale, nor did MT. Taylor. The conferences that he authorized, and that he himself had, had for their object the adoption by the Union Pacific directors
 of the same methods pursued by other l great systems in undermining the roao

AFFIDAVIT BY HARRIMAN.

Tells of Kesme's Threat to Cause
 Trouble. F yss5 + #
 New York, April 1.-The aff1davits in the answer of the Southern Pacific com pany to the suit of Talbot j.. Taylor & Co. against the Southern Pacific and Union Pacific deny that the Southern Pacific is operated in the interest of the Union Pacific. The most important of the affidavits is made by E. H. Harri- man. In it he sets forth that mutual friend of himself and of Edward Lau- terbach told him (Harriman) that James R. Keene represented pool holding about 17O,Ooo or 175,oo0 shares of Southern Pacific and that MT. Keene himself held about 10000 shares; that they contemplated action which, says the affidavit, would make us a great deal of trouble * unless we pur- chased said shares from them; that he would sell the pool shares at about 70 and his own shares at about 7S.'a MT. Hartman declares he replied that he would not be forced by fear into any thing that would be adverse to the in terests of the general body of the stock holders of the Southern Pacific.
 Otto Kuhn, of Kuhn, Loeb & Co.,, a director of the Southern Pacific says in a sworn statement that Edward Lauter- bach told him there were only two ways to avoid hostile proceedings, either to buy the holdings of the Keene pool at the price of about 70 or to start the pay ment of dividends on the stock at a rate | of not less than per cent. per annurn. Other affidavits by J. Kruttschnitt | fourth vice president and general man. ager; J. C. Stubbs, third vice president and other officials are presented to show that the Southern Pacific is operated in the interest of It's stockholders and not for the benefit of Union Pacific.
 James R. Keene, who is confined to his room at the Waldorf Astoria, made public tonight the following telegram sent by him tonight to Edward Lau- terbach, his counsel, who is in Nash- vile:
 l Hartman and Kahn affidavits pub- lished broadcast. I expect you to fur nish the Associated Press with your answering affidavit immediately, set ting forth the true fact that no offer to sell stock was ever made by me except in reply to their request to purchase the holdings which represented, and that you were requested by them to ascer- tain the cost of the same, and that absolutely refused, when I made an. swer. to sell my individual stock at any price, ,.. ...

paid out of the enormous net earnings not So insistent upon that as that these extraordinary expenses of moderniza- ton and reconstruction should be paid in part, at least, out of the securities to be issued by the conpanysas is the cus- tom in all other properly regulated sys- tems. The operating expenses, in corn- parison with other systems similarly regulated, seem to be entirely dispro- portionate and either show reckless n1isinanagement or are used to cover additional expenditures, especially on the Central Pacific branch, which is intended to be utilized for the bene- fit of the Union Pacific and which at any time may, be taken from the Southern Pacific control by Union Pa- cific majority. A singular state of af- fairs developed during the argument. The s75, ,00O, ,000 of the stock of the Union Pacific road was supposed to be in the, possession of the Mercantile Trust com pany, as trustee for the bondsholders. The special stock list shows no such ownership, either in the Mercantile Trust company or the Union Pacific road itself, but over $7,000,000 of the stock is in the name of MT. Hartman
 and nearly $2,OOoooO in the name of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. Affidavits of the
 defendants failed to disclose where the stock is, and this is true of the other $15,Oo0,O 900 acquired additionally to that covered by the mortgage. MT. Keene'ss 1 affidavit, internationally resents any 1 idpa of an ssttnynntad sale If tha urnr- | erty at any price.

Fell Into n Well Planned Ftrst of April
 Trar.

Certainly the earliest and one of the best planned April jokes perpetrated in this city yesterday was the one played on the members of W. E. Gladstone lodge, Order Sons of St. George, which kept them patiently waiting in their hall in the Insurance building until long af- ter midnight for couple of artists from one of the theaters who, according to the authentic statement made to the meeting by one of the most prominent members, would be present and enter tain them. It was not until after F o'clock that the Gladstones realized that huge joke had been played upon them when they gradually dispersed for their homes humming, it is said, the fa- miliar refrain, They Never Came Back" The above is a sequel to a trick played on the Gladstones last year when William Reeves invited them to be pres ent at the birthday celebration of one of their members. All who innocently fell into the trap last year vowed that Brother Reeves would never get the better of them again. But Brother Reeves is full of tricks and he success. fully fooled the members of his lodge again last night, and the Gladstones are asking themselves how 1t all happened
 and were busy all day congratulatine Brother Reeves on his clever and sue. cessful trick.

NEW SHAMROCK IN HARD BLoW.6
Stands Test Well and Again Sails Away from Older Sister.

Gourock, Scotland, April 1.-The two ing, as it was raining. A temporary Iet-up came at midday and orders were issued to get ready. The rain came down again soon after and wet the cam vas, but as Sir Thomas Lipton had party down from Glasgow to see the racing trial the preparations for the spin were continued. club topsail was sent aloft on the challenger to-day for the first time and the Shamrock I. also sent up big club topsail.
 As the two yachts were fetching out of the shelter of the bay there was another sudden change in the weather and a hard, westerly squall staggered the boats and laid them nearly fiat. A few minutes later the gear of the sham rock Is staysail carried away, and the sail went down with a run. The Sham- rock III stood the test handsomely and both yachts set off on what promised to be fine fresh weather trial.
 All the way down the channel the yachts had hard reaching trial in a strong wind. It was the point of sail ing in which the Shamrock had hither- to excelled, but she showed herself un- able to hold the new challenger. The latter gained on every mile and over the distance, about seven miles, which was covered in thirty-fve minutes, the Shamrock III gained half mile. She carried her racing sails well, and went fast and clean through the water.
 The trial finished with a windWard turn across the Firth. The wind corl- tinued fresh, and the Shamrock III again demonstrated that going close hauled she is easily faster than the old- CT boat. f. '-.s- s55

 Business Men.

London, April I'm the course of a discussion of the Irish development grant, in the house of commons to-day, the Irish secretary MT. Wyndham, in moving that 1925, 900 be granted annual ly for development purposes in Ireland said a genuine industrial revival was taking place in that country and adding that he was authorized to announce that Lord Iveagh Edward Cecil Guin- ness of Dublin) and Alderman Pirrie of Belfast, chairman of the Harland 6 Wolff Shipbuilding company, were pre- pared in a spirit of patriotism and in view of the happier conditions prevail ing, to provide the capital necessary for developing the transport facilities of the country. This they proposed to do without going to the public for help. MT. Wyndham concluded by saying: There has been nothing so hopeful and businesslike in Ireland since the eighteenth century,"
 The motion was adopted.

 Salonica, European Turkey, April l. Special trains with troops on board are proceeding from Monastir and other places to Vucsteen, where severe fight ing recently occurred. It is reported here that there were 200 casualties. Sixteen battalions of Anatolian Redifs have been ordered to Salonica.
 Vienna, April 1.-The rebellion in Macedonia is considered here to have begun already and the situation is ex- pected to become worse. The Albanian movement is regarded as specially dan gerous because the sultan will hardly dare to suppress it, he being surrounded by Albanian guards at the Yildiz Kiosk. It is therefore thought that the reform plan will remain dead letter in old Servia.
 The report is confirmed that M. St. Cherbina, the Russian consul at Nitro vitza, was shot in the back by Albanian soldiers. It is estimated that there are 20,000 AIbanians under arms and gen. eral rising would be extremely serious.
 It is stated that the king of Greece has abandoned his intended visit to the Danish court at Copenhagen on account of the threatening situation in the Bal karS

Fitzpatrick made a short statement after the meet | ing Said MT. Fitzpatrick: "The entire | matter, as far as the trainmen are con cerned, was settled in a most satiSfac- tory manner this afternoon. As to what the terms of the settlement were I refuse to state other than that wc agreed as to hours, wages, rules and regulations and that I think the terms will be entirely satisfactory to all par ties interested. I think there has been too much said already" Mir. FitZpat- rick then commenced to talk with Gen eral Superintendent Chamberlain, who was present during the intervi aw. | From some remarks made by people who are conversant with the conditions, | it appears as if ten hour schedule was granted and the pay is understood to be perfectly satisfactory.

Grand Senior Conduc- tor Wilkins of the Order of Railway Conductors said that the conductors would state their case to President Hall and the committee in his (President Hall's) office al 10 o'clock to-day.

Gourok, Scotland, April 1.--Sir Thomas Lipton, interviewed this afternoon after the trial, said he considered that sham rock HTS gain over the ex-challenger on the broad reach, was probably the best thing she has done. He doubts whether any yacht af1oat could have beaten Shamrock under similar condi- tions. Sir Thomas admits that the challenger made less gain in the wir1d- ward turn to-day than in the light winds of yesterday, but. he explains this by the fact that the new gear needs ed constant attention.
