WESTERN UNION
LOSES IN P|TTSBURG
Pennsylvania Company Gains
Sweeping Wet ry by the
Judges Decision In
junction Refused.

Pittsburg, Jan. 16.-rhe Pennsy Iva
MIA railroad gained a sweeping victory
yesterday against the Western Union
Telegraph company in an opinion
handed down by Judge Joseph Buf-
tington of the United States circuit
court. The latter refused to grant an
Injunction against the Pennsylvania
to restrain it from removing the tel
eSraph company's property and at the
same time denied the right of the tel
egraDh company to condemn a portion
Of the railroad right OF way. The case
is similar to that heard by Judge An
drew Kirkpatrick of the United States
circuit court of New York, but the de-
cision is directly the opposite.
The salient features of the decision
are the denial of the right of a tele-
of railroad company and denial Of
the right of the telegraph company as
tenant to dispute the ownership of its
landlords property while it still re-
mains in possession of that property as
q tenant.
Judge Burlington points out that a
railroad is both a public highway and
a postroad in Pennsylvania, but as
serts that the public element in the
right of way, although under private
ownership, is such that it should be
guarded against attacks which might
interfere with the public use. ..

Controversy Oyer a Contact for House
Building Gets Into
Court.
OWNER GETS TEMPORARY INJUNCTION

A double case Of lockout and a con-
troversy over a contract for building
house led to an injunction being
taken out in common pleas court Fri
day morning. The action was begun
by Frank Brandlen against August
Balizet. Brandlen alleges that he en-
tered into a contract with the defend
ant to build a house; that the work
progressed partially, but that Balizec
had neglected TO complete the work
for so long time that he finally noti-
fed him that he need not go on with
1t. Brandlen thereupon. locked up the
house and told the carpenter that he
must not enter It. BaliZet, it Is
claimed, in spite of the notification, in
sisted that he had right 10 enter
is alleged he not only forced an en-
trance, but nailed up the doors and
windows SO that the owner could not
get in, using large spikes that dam
aged the building.
Brandlen appealed to the law and
secured temporary injunction which
prevents the carpenter from further
interfering until the case is finally
heard. Judge ]. p. Fawcet is counsel
FOR the plaintiff.
DIVORCE GRANTED.
Friday morning Judge Hartcr
granted a divorce to Mrs. Ellen Car
men, OF Howenstine, from her hus-
band, James M. Carmen. The case
was heard q week ago, but the court
wanted little more evidence as to
the character of the woman. This
was forthcoming and was satisfactory,
and the decree was granted. Attor-
ney ], S. Hudson was counsel in the
case, which was not contested

viii Fight the Case.

Deputy Sheriff Geiselman, OF Wayne
county, came to Canton Friday even
Ing and notified George Hammond, a
salesman Of the Canton Bridge COM
pany, that he had been indicted for
attempted bribery Of the commission
ers at Wooster. Mr.. Hammond ar
ranged with the official to go to
Wooster and give bond, and Saturday
morning he went there with Attorney
Atlee Pomerene and entered into a
bond for his appearance for trial when
wanted.
One Of the commissioners OF Wayne
county, new man upon the board, 1t
is said. testified before the grand jury
that Mr.. Hammond had offered him
500 to vote for a contract for a
bridge. On arriving at Wooster Mr..
Hammond gave bond in the sum of
$4,000 and was released.
Mr.. Hammond was interviewed at
Wooster and denied his guilt. He
said he was not in the habit Of going
about over the country handing out
500 bills to county commissioners.
He will fight the case when it comes
to trial.
No definite information could be OBJ
tanned as to the names of two other
Canton men who are said to have
been indicted The story is that the
bribery was in connection with the
sale OF safe which was purchased for
the probate judge Of Wayne county.
The officials refuse to give out the
names Of the parties for the reason
that they have not been apprehended,
but it is thought that statesmen con-
nected with Canton concerns are i'm
plicated. The bribe in this case is
said to have been $50, which vas ac-
cepted.

Scenes.
BOAT RACE With BRITISH SAILORS.

Mrs. Kate Merriman, of 309 Wade
street, has received several letters
from her son, Charles Merriman, who
is serving as signalman on the United
States steamship Kentucky.
One of the letters was written at
sea on December g. In part it says:
I'VE left Annoy, China, this morning
for Hong Kong and expect to arrive
there tomorrow morning. l certainly
was glad we left Annoy, as it is the
dirtiest city in China. To tell you the
truth, was afraid to cat anything that
came from the city. There are 80
many lepers and SO few white people
there.
Sunday before last was on the sig
nal bridge and had a long glass keep
ing a lookout on the ships when spied
something floating towards us. / put
the glass on it and what do you sup
a
woman. There were plenty of China
men in boats close to the body, but
none of them would pick It up and so
the tide took the body to sea. There
is law in China that If you find a
body you will have to bury it and
those Cinnamon would not pick 1t up
Can you wonder why / am sick of
this part OF the world? Those China
mer are nothing more than animals.
We signal boys certainly had our
hands full in Annoy We had seven
ships of our own to look after and IL.
NJ. S. Goliath. We sent and received
| quite a few signals from her also.
Since our admiral adopted a new Sig
nal code we can speak TO the English
men.
| All the ships are going to assemble
| in Hong Kong and then / think We
will go down to Manila together and
have feet maneuvers in Subig Bay.
On December IA. Merriman wrote
from Hong Kong: I'VE are going to
leave here tomorrow at O'Clock in
the afternoon for Manila and we will
probably be there n month or two. We
are going to have fleet maneuvers in
Subig Bay for at least a month and
then we expect 10 take a trip to the
Fast Indies, Siam and several other sea
coast countries.
can barely remember what a civ
:lized city looks like.
| While we were lying in dry dock
VIC had very fine boat race with the
English battleship GLORY" 1t was
one of the most talked-of races that
ever happened on this station and II
vas certainly good race. We won
| by over seven minutes. We had the
race arranged seven or eight months
agu and had fine boat built in Yo-
kahama, Japan. 1t cost US about AIS
yen, or S237.50. We could not bet much
money with the "Glory's" crew, as
they kept all the money among their
own ships. We won about s1,4Oo from
them, however, and there were many
private bets ashore.

having cold weather while we are
roasting down here in Manila"

twice a member OF congress and was

Governor Taft declines to leave the
Philippines, where he Is needed, and
Judge Day will go to the bench OF the
supreme court Of the United States.
Both are distinguished and patriotic
sons OF Ohio. Both are men of deep
learning and wide culture. Both have
served their country honestly and
well. Both ought to sit In the
highest court of the nation. Govern

II is intimated that William r. Day,
who elbowed John Sherman out Of the
state department, is to have the seat
on the supreme bench which Judge
Taft's stern devotion to benevolent as
similation impels him to refuse. The
elevation, within four years, of a
Stark county jurist to the bench Of the

OPPOSED BY sPACULAT0Rs.
One Of the chief objections 70
Secretary Hitchcock, as expressed
in different portions Of the Indian
territory, is that be stands IL the
way Of speculators. Itis urged
that he has made and promulgated
FIVE different sets Of regulations
and rules governing the sale and
lease Of Indian lands. In the last
analysis of the Secretary's action
in this matter it appears that the
rules and regulations were changed
as often as found defective, and
that they had been prepared
largely through the advice and in
huence of the Dawes Commission
As matter Of honesty and simple
reasoning the Secretary should
change his rules and regulations
just as often as they prove to be
inadequate and detective, in that
they fail to protect the Indian.
The cIamor for the removal Of
the Secretary has about subsidized,
inasmuch as the great majority Of
citizens, both Indian and white
recognize the absolute justice of
his position. Those who are op-
posed to Mr.. Hitchcock are, gen.
orally speaking, men who are
eager to go beyond the law The
present condition is unsatisfactory
to them; they cannot get hold Of
Indian land easy enough. It is
one Of the strange anomalies Of
the times, that the very thing Mr.
Hitchcock should be commended
Tor is met with the greatest opposi-
ton. There is a spirit of com
mercialism abroad in the land
that ignores the rights of every
condition.

that now while we are waiting fox

Almost every public gathering
in the territory advertises as a
special feature the roping contest
and these advertisement are scat
tered over all the adjoining states.
They create and keep alive the
impression that the principal re-
sources of this country are the
COW boy, wild Indian, and long
hornsd Texas steer, while as q
matter of fact the history of the
passing Of the COW boy and the
"yaller" Texas steer has alrea dy
been written, ard in their place
we have the progressive agricul-
turahst and the mild mannere d

are no longer typical Of our re
sources or characteristics and are
neither educational nor elevating
