Higher Court sustainH Injunction
. Against Board Members in
Sweeping Decision.

CHICAGO, Jan S.-The appellate court
today, in a sweeping decision, sustained
the injunction issued by Justice Chytraus
against eight Board OF Trade members
charged with operating a corner" and
sustaining the contention against the cor
nering OF the market"
The court holds that under the laws of
the state dealers cannot be forced to
settle trades upon the basis Of an artif-
cial value created by the cornering OF the
market, and that margins deposited in
banks or elsewhere are within the jurlsdic-
tion Of the courts. in that they affect the
right to property.
The decision draws a legal distinction
between questions touching the discipline
rights Of the board and questions Of prop
erty rights and holds that disputes be-
tween members involving nance can be,
II desired by either party, submitted to the
courts for decision.
The case Of White, Thornburn & Co.
against the Board OF Trade was the princi-
pal suit upon which the orders we're based
and which resulted in the securing Of an
injunction against the board.
This firm had sold oats for July delivery,
The price advanced and 1t was claimed by
the complainants that the market was
cornered and that the settling price in
sisted upon was fictitious.
An injunction was accordingly asked and
granted, enjoining the payment OF margins
deposited in bank. The decision created
a furore at the time. II Is said there are
forty cases pending upon this decision Of
the appetite court.

TUCSON, Ariz., Jan. S.-Informatlon &c
the Star from the office OF the secretary Of
state OF Hermosillo, concerning the plague
situation. is as follows;
The strictest quarantine is maintained at
Guaymas against Mazatlan. A Gordon Of
soldiers has been established from tide
water on the boundary line between the
states OF Sonora and sinalo, the soldiers
being stationed within sight o. each other
along the entire distance, with instructions
to shoot anyone endeavoring to pass the
line. The s~trictest kind OF patrol is kept
along the coast.
No passports are issued to ships to clear
from Guaymas and no ships are allowed
to enter from any point. Guaymas is de-
pending entirely on its own resources for
substance.
The most thorough system Of fumigation
and sanitary regulations has been adopted.
Lime and sulphur is issued daily TO the poor
people and streets and yards are cleaned
daily. Governor Isabel has been placed in
charge by the federal government.
Governor Isabel brands the reports Of the
last few days to the effect that the plague
has secured a foothold in Guaymas, or in
any Of the border towns between Guaymas
and Sinalos, as false.
Washington Authorities Act.
WASHINGTON, Jan. s.-A dispatch has
been received at the Public Health and Ma
rine Hospital service from the Board OF
Trade at Tucson, Ariz, calling attention
to the existence Of bubonic plague in San
tiago and requesting that steps be taken
to prevent its being carried into Arizona.
The Board of Health of Mexico has off,
cially announced to the authorities In Wash
ington that the plague exists at Encenada
and Mazatlan, Mex, and has requested the
Public Health and Marine Hospital service
to notify the Bureau of American Republics,
that the South American countries through
them, may be informed. ..a,lE.s

the Public Health and Marine Hospital
service, now at Los Angeles, who has been

SAN DIEGO, Cal, Jan. s.-A special dis
patch from Enzenada, gives an interview
with Governor Arroniz of lower Califor-
MIA, relative to report that plague exists
in Enzenada. '
The governor says:
There is no basis for such a report. Since
the steamer Curacao suspended its trips
to Mazatlan, there has been no
cation, of any kind between Enzenada and
Mazatlan, and the hygtenic conditions here
have the most careful attention, and there
is no probability Of trouble here. There
are, of course, many Idle rufnors of this
sort, which may cause Inconvenience to
the interests of the place, but receive
reports from the physicians daily. There
are no cases of unusual sickness now,
nor has there been any for a considerable
time.
