Of this combination.
The new circuit judge is a man Of vigor-
our physique, scholarly attainments, pro-
found legal knowledge and forceful person
ality. No solfcito or general has ever made
more brilliant record, and none has left
behind him greater impression on the
public mind of important work well done.
Mr.. Richards, with his wife and two chill

JOINT NOTE TO SULTAN
Representatives Of European
Powers Present It.
GERMANY Is INCLUDED
STRIKES OUT ALL REFERENCE TO
MACEDONIA.
Generalized to Cover All Localities
Where Christians Reside-Ameri-
cans Indirectly Benefited.
GERMANY Is INCLUDED

PARIS February 19-The Russian for
eign minister Count Lamsdorf, has COM
municated to the French government the
fact that Russia received yesterday the
last of the adherences of the European
powers to the joint note to Turkey on the
subject of reforms thus making the action
of the powers unanimous.
He accordingly directed NJ. Znovief, the
Russian ambassador at Constan,inople, to
proceed in company with Baron Won Calice,
the Austrian ambassador, to the sultan and
present the joint note today.
To Give Added Force
1t was at first intended to present The
Austrian note first, but this was recon-
sidered in order to give added force to the
joint personal presentation.
1t was also desired to secure the full ad-
herence of Germany, which was somewhat
conditional at first. The unanimous acton
decided upon yesterday includes that OF
Germany.
The note as finally framed strikes out all
reference to Macedonia, as it was consld-
cred that the designation of one part ot
the country by name would increase the
ant-foreign agitation which the powers
are seeking to check.
Covers All Localities.
Inc note IS SeHeTdllZeu So dS u CoNsI
the localities where Christians reside, the
only locality specified being three villages
in northern Turkey, in which most of the
Christians reside.
The protection of the lives and the COM
plete safeguarding Of the interests of the
Christians form the chief features of the
note.
In view of the unanimity Of the powers
the officials here consider that the sultan
is certain to accept the proposed reforms,
but 1t is not intended to terminate the ques-
tion with the presentation Of the note.
Further Joint Action.
1t will be followed speedily by further
joint action, including sending consuls Of
the various powers throughout the Chris
tian regions to see that protection Is act
ually given and that the reforms are really
carried out
The authorities do not hesitate to say
that the note is only the first step in the
plans Of the powers for the betterment OF
the condition of the peoples under Turkish
rule
An official here said that while the United
States was not concerned in the action d.
rectly, yet the protection demanded for all
Christians would be indirectly beneficial 20

BIG FIRE AT SPRINGFIELD.
Y. M. c. A. Building, Theater ane
Several Stores DESTROYED.

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio, February 19.-Flre
early today destroyed the new building OF
the Young Mems Christian Association, the
Fountain Square Theater and several ad-
jacent buildings, causing a loss of $3.50, 900
with insurance of two-thirds of that sum.
The alarm came about 3:30 from the
Fountain Square Theater, formerly kno wn
as Blacks Opera House.
+ When the firemen reached the place they
found flames issuing from the rear OF
MitchelFs plumbing establishment
They soon reached the second story and
then communicated with the theater. There
was much delay in getting water, and soon
the theater and the Young Mems Christian
Association building, fine new structure,
were hopelessly involved.
The falling of one wall Of the theater
crushed a little jewelry store adjoining, and
gave rise to the report that three men had
been killed.
Mr. Mulholland, the owner of the store,
was known to have entered the place just
before the wall fell. and it was also known
that two men from the great crowd of by

HELD UP BY BANDITS

LOS ANGELES, Cal, February 19.-Two
unmasked men held up and robbed a car
load or passengers on the Los Angeles
Pasadena train last night
Thirty-two passengers half of whom were
women, were forced at points of revovers
to surrender cash and twelry to the
amount of between $500 and 500.
The robbers performed their work quick
ly, but effectively.
Old Hands at Business
The car was held for ten minutes. The
men then left it and disappeared in the
darkness.
The hold-up was carried out in a way
that marked the two outlaws as being old
hands at the business.
The car left Los Angeles at y o clock for
Pasadena. Nearing point just south OF
the Arroyo, the motorman- observed two
men making signal for the car TO stop.
AS he slowed down. the men clambered
upon the steps on either end of the car
They presented revolYers at the heads OF
Conductor Dayhoff and Motorman Corwin
and drove them inside the car.
With Revolvers in Hands.
With revolvers in their hands they stood
in the doors and in foul language ordered
everybody to dig up coin and jewelry
without monkey business"
The robber at the door stepped upon a
box and from this commanding position
covered the startled passengers with his
revolver.
The other passed down the aisle taking
pocket books. coin and watches and thrust
Ing them carelessly into his coat pockets
While taking the property of the passen-
gers the bandit kept up a TRADE of abuse.
Narrowly Escaped Being Shot.
John w. Gay, agent of the Raymond
Whitcomb excursion. narrowly escaped be-
ing shot by one of the robbers.
He resisted being searched, pushing the
robber back. Instantly the man showed
his revolver toward Gays face.
The latter struck the weapon upward just
as the trigger was pulled. The bullet
passed through the roof of the car.
Another passenger showed some incina-
ton to resist.
Get your heads out of the way there
ordered the man at the door, ''til
get that man"
Turned Revolver on Him.
With that he turned the revolver upon
the unwilling passenger who quickly gave
up his valuables.
The women passengers were terroriZed,
many of them screaming, others weeping
No distinction OF sex was made and the
women gave over their money and watches
without show of reluctance
The conductor and motorman were told
to keep their hands about their heads
The robbers forgot to search Conductor
Dayhoff, and consequently missed about
$50.

ment of the President. The country was
entering upon period of important litiga-
tfon in the Supreme Court. in which con-
stitutional questions of great moment were
to be argued. which should affect not mere
ly the general welfare Of the people, but
the very form and character Of the govern
ment for future generations.
/ The burden Of arguing these questions in
the highest court of the land fell largely
upon his shoulders, and 1T may be ques-
toned whether any solicitor general, since
the office was first created. has ever won
greater prestige or assumed a more COM
n,anding position in his profession than
Mr.. Richards Among the first cases that
he was called upon to argue was the case
of the United States VS.. Joint Traffic As
soctation, in which thirty-one railroads
formed themselves into an association to
control competitive traffic. The case was
one OF great Importance, as 1t involved
the question whether under the Sherman
antitrust law a pooling arrangement was
practicable which would in effect elnif-
nate competition, and place the public at
the mercy of. carrying companies. Mr..
Richards argued the case for the gov
ernment. his opponents being Mr.. James G.
Carter, the late Mr. Edward J. Phelps. ex-
Senator George f. Edmunds, John G. john
son OF the Philadelphia bar and David VIII
cox. In behalf Of the various railroads,
and the opening sentence of the Supreme
Courts opinion comments upon the ability
with which the case was argued for the
government. 1t resulted in complete vim
dication Of the contention of the govern
ment, and fully sustained the validity OF
the antitrust law as applied to railroads.
The effect Of the Sherman antitrust law
had been materially weakened by the con-
struction put upon it by the Supreme Court
in the case Of United States vs. Knight, in
volving the legality of the sugar trust In
which the court held that the act had no
application and under the Constitution
could have application to combina-
tion to monopolize manufacturing, even
though such an arrangement had an indi-
rect result upon interstate commerce.
But in the Addyston pipe case. which Mr..
Richards argued for the government, the

true meaning Of the sugar trust case was
further explained. and the position taken
by him was sustained that combination
of manufacturers which has for it's purpose
direct interference with interstate trade
In marketing their products was viola
ton Of the antitrust law.
Mr.. Richards has further argued many
important tax cases In the Supreme Court.
In Nicol agt. Ames he argued successfully
that the federal tax on sales at exchanges
was constitutional notwithstanding the
In knowlton agt. Moore, High agt. Goyne
and others, he successfully argued for the

tax.
The Insular Cases.
His work as solicitor general will, how
ever, be chiefly remembered by reason of
the masterful part that he took In the So
called insular cases. No cases Of greater
Importance have been argued in the Su-
preme Court Stree the Dred Scott and legal
tender decisions, and none ever gave the
court greater cause for prolonged delibera-
don The conditions which succeeded the
Spanish-American war were entirely novel
and presented questions as to the form Of
our government which differed in many re-
spects from any that had preceded. For
the first time the question of non-contigu-
GUS territory, acquired as the result of war,
was under discussion, and the application
OF the constitutional guarantees to millions
OF men materially differing in race from
american citizens was involved.
Few questions have ever been presented
to the court Of greater Importance and diff
Guilty. The division the COURT both in its
reasoning and final conclusions, evidenced
the difficulty Of the problem The briefs
filed by the solicitor general, and his re-
markabie oral argument in the court, made
a profound impression upon thoughtful men
throughout the country. While the govern
ment lost In the minor question OF the true
construction of pre-existing tariff laws, yet
the contention of the solicitor general was
sustained by a majority of the court that
the constitutional guaranty of uniformity

Hooker, proprietor, and Howard J. Fehl,
manager of an auction jewelry store which
they opened in Frederick last November,

tained by the state fire marshal and De-
tective Hogan Of Baltimore.
Hooker claimed at the time of the fire
that his stock Of goods was worth $1,000,
and that his loss. by smoke and water prin-
cipally, would amount to $4,000. He had
an insurance of $4,000 The fire, when dis
covered, had made but little headway and
was soon eXtinguished. The strong odor OF
coal oil aroused suspicion and led to an in

NEW REPLY POSTAL CARDS.
Points of Difference From the Old De
sign.

The Post Office Department has received
the proof Of the new reply postal cards, and
the proof has been forwarded to the United
States postal card agency for the approval
Of the general agent. The. new postal cards
will be somewhat different from the old re-
ply cards. The message card will bear
the portrait of Gen. Sherman and the reply
will have the picture Of Gen. Sheridan. Pic
lures Of Gen. Grant formerly adorned these
cards. On the face of the cards the device
will not extend over the face, as at present
The space to the left of the stamp will be
plain. to accommodate the postmark. Pos
tai cards are stamped twice on the face by
the cancellation machines, and owing to
the device which now extends over the face
Of the card the cancellation device is often
illegible. To prevent this the space to the
left of the stamp will be left open. and the
device will be placed in the upper left-hand
corner. The device is handsome in design,
being made up Of appropriate emblems. The
general postal card agent Is to report on
any difficulties he might find in the print
ing Of the new cards.
