A TRIUMPH OF
THE MACHINE
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

J. Randall Kane was reformer an
a member of the Citizens League, b.:
his wife was at heart a machine poll
tician. She listened with admiration
for his eloquence when he denounced
the municipal ring, but secretly she
wished him a part of it. She was
rather envious than shocked when she
learned that their neighbor, Commits
sioner Barnard, was growing rich in
the public service, although his &C
cumulations were far too large to be
explained as savings from a comfort
able though not immoderate salary.
Mrs. Kane frequently needed gloves,
or new hat, or pair of shoes, and it
was unpleasant to have to await psy-
Geological moments before asking for
them. She did not wish her husband
to steal, but when the reform party
was successful in the election she sug-
gested to him that he ought to secure
an appointment.

clared encouragingly. your name
was in the list of vice presidents of
one of the meetings and know that
you worked harder for the ticket than
any one else in this district"
"Men will now be appointed because
of peculiar fitness, not as a reward for
services during the campaign" replied
Kane with severity.
His wife felt the implied rebuke
but sac sighed, thinking of the gloves
and the hats.

FREIGHT FAST PILING UP.
Federal Court Issues An Injunction
Against Team Drivers Union.
ARE GOVERNMENT cARTMEN.

Kansas City. No., Mar 14-Much
uneasiness has been manifested by the
large wholesale and retail business
houses of the city over the teamsters'
strike and there is a strong probability
that the business men and merchants
will take hand in the trouble and
attempt to force settlement between
the employers and the men.
An injunction has been granted to
the Kansas City Transfer against the
Team Drivers International Union,
No. 459, and the sympathizers of the
strike, by Judge John f. Phillips of
the United States district court. TIL
action was brought on the ground that
the compliments are government cart
men, being employed by the govern
ment in transporting bonded goods.
The papers fled with the court state
that the company was unable to secure
the names of all the members of the
union, but such names when obtained
will be added to the list contained in
the order.
The order restraints the defendants
fl ON participating in the strike; from
interfering with or intimidating the
| company's drivers; from picLeting or
patroling the sidewalks adjacent to the
company's place of business and from
confederating or conspiring to ruin,
destroy or damage the business of the
company. A United States deputy

HAGUE JUSTICE IS COSTLY.
Allied Powers Are Hesitating On
That Account.
The COSTS EXCEED THE CLAIM

Washington, Mar. 17.-By the pro-
tocols which were signed February 1a,
Great Britain received a cash payment
of S27. 900. Germany was promised an
advanced payment of $780, 600 in five
monthly instatlments, beginning one
month from the date of that signing,
and Italy was to be paid S27, 500 two
months from the date. Minister Bowen
handed the British embassy a check
the night the protocol was signed, and
it was arranged that Germany and
Italy were to receive their money at
Caracas.
What steps President Castro has
taken to meet the obligations is not
known. Some concern is felt here ut
the silence of the allied powers regard
| ing the draft of The Hague protocol,
which was mailed to them some weeks
ago, and the absence of any considera-
ton looking to the settlement at Cara

President Castro and the representa-

president will consent to such a COM

be approached in that connection. Mr..
Bowen is strongly opposed to permit
