NO COURT HAS A RIGHT TO IN
TERFERE WITH WORK ON
WARsHlP.

Richmond, Va, June 20. - Judge
Grinnan of the Richmond CHANGER,
court yesterday granted an injunction
restraining Lieut.: Thesis and Naval
Constructor Grosbeck, United States
navy, from proceeding further toward
the launching of the cruiser Galveston,
under construction in the Trigg ship
yards here.
The injunction was granted on pcti-
ton of S. H. Halves & Co. of this city,
supply creditors of the T:igg company,
now in the hands Of q receiver, and
restraints the government and all other
persons from in any way interfering
with any Of the property at the Trigg
yards under control of Lilburn T.
Myers, the receiver, and especially the
cruiser Galveston and the dredge Ben
hard, under construction for the gov
eminent.
Lieutenants Thesis and Grosbeck
were sent here by the navy department
to superintend the launching Of the
Galveston, which it was the intention
of the department to send to the Nor
folk navy yards for completion. All
preparations had been made for
launching the vessel next Monday.
Could Call Out Federal Troops.
Washington, June 10. = It is stated
here that proper respect will be shown
the mandate of the courts so long as
they keep within their jurisdiction, but
that the nav, department cannot Sub
init to any interference with its rights.
The cruiser Galveston at Richmond
it is added, will be launched when
ready.
Secretary Moody is not at all dis.
posed to act hastily in the matter Of
the Galveston, but as indefinite delay
upon the construction of that vessel
in the event of an international emery
ency, might prove grave matter, the
department therefore feels bound to
proceed with the work as rapidly as
possible. 1t is hoped that the vessel
will be in condition for launching next
Monday afternoon. Secretary Moody
was informed of the action of the
Richmond court restraining the gov
eminent
From Further Work
on the Galveston, but declined to talk
on the subject until after conferences
to be held to-day with the president
and the attorney general.
Attorney General Knox was also un-
willing to be quoted in the matter until
his opinion. renderedsto the president
as to the jurisdiction of the govern
ment over the Galveston, has been
made public.
1t can be stated, however, that the
attorney general regards as eminently
we'll taken the contention advanced by
Rear Admiral Bowles, chief Of the hu-
reau of construction and repair. that
no court has the right to interfere with
work on war vessel, and the govern
ment would be warranted in calling
federal troops to protect its agents en-
gagged in such work.
Instructions have been sent Lieut..
Thesis and Naval Constructor Groes-
beck in charge of the work on tho Gal

The richest Greenlander is the Eski-
mo korkoya, who controls the CON-
MERGE of Baffin's bay. He was born at
Julianehaab and began to barter forty
years ago. He will not have money,
but trades the products of the Arctic
for food products, which he exchanges
again to the natives for furs, elder
down, ivory, etc. The contents of his
magazine are easily worth $4,000
kroner, besides which he has 13 ka-

served and Restored.
Funds are wanted FOR the restoration
of the Eidsvold building. The work
has been carried on by means OF pri-
vate subscriptions secured by an assf'-
citation of the people interested in pre-
serving this historical place, where
the patriotic band on May II, 1914,
declared the Norwegians free and
sovereign people. The hall in which
the storthing met has been placed in
the condition in which it was in lS14.
The gallery has received many addi-
tons, as has also the original library.
Considerable of the old furniture has
been secured, and while the building
already offers many attractions, it still
needs considerable more to be COM
plete. Several articles of furniture
which would be very appropriate are
to be had, and certain improvements
to the building and grounds would be
desirable.

of dead recovered from the food ruins
totalled 1853 bodies yesterday. Fifteen
bodies were found yesterday in drifts

mains in the neighborhood of SIS to 60.
A list of valises and trunks prepared
yesterday establishes the fact that

Sweden has formally said good bye

doubtful if it could be redeemed any
way. Both chambers of the Swedish
riksdag have voted to waive the Swed-
ish claim. The Inhabitants Of Wisnlar
are delighted, and through the mayor
have sent telegram Of thanks to the
