MONROE BEATS CANTOR.
Court Holds Former Can Appoint
Subscag Inspectors.

Ry a decision handed down by Justice OGor-
man in the Supreme Court, yesterday, ROBERT
Crier Monroe Commissioner Of Water Supply
Gas and Electricity, is entitled to appoint ms
own inspectors to overlook the electrical ducts
and conduits throughout the Borough OF Man
haitian This right OF Commissioner Monroe was
denied by Borough President Cantor, VINO as
serted that when he issued permits to the Con-
solidated Telephone and Electrical Subway COM
pany to open streets for the construction oi
subways the Commissioner Of Water supply
Gas and Electricity was bound to approve such
permits and give permits TO go on Win the
work which would then be inspected py OH
cials appointed by President Cantor
The inspectors are paid by the company ana
receive salaries of S100 month each. Commis-
sioner Monroe declared that he alone had con-
troll over the construction of electrical or other
subways and declined TO grant the permits
asked for approve of those granted by Presl-
dent Cantor. The subway company then ap-
piled for peremptory writ Of mandamus 10
compel Commissioner Monroe 10 grant and ap-
prove the necessary permits Justice O'Gorman
says:
In insisting upon the inspection OF the pro-
posed work by his own appointees, the respond
ent is therefore acting quite within his author-
ity. No other official possesses the power to eX-
ercise supervision over that character of con-
struction The duty of the Borough President is
confined to the surface of the streets. he mas
no control over any sub-surface structures eX-
cept sewers.

ST. LOUIS FREIGHT HANDLERS OUT.
Every Railroad Running Into the City Said
To Be Affected.

ST Louis May 21.-Approximately seven thou
sand men are now strike in the city and It's
immediate vicinity. The threatened strikes
which have been brewing for some weeks have
eliminated and commerce IS seriously inter
rupted. The freight handlers Of all the railroads
doing business here and in East St. Louis struck
to-day in sympathy with the porters and PACK
ers, who recently went out at Cupples Station
where most of the wholesale firms OF St Louis
are located.
Between eighteen hundred and two thousand
men went out to-day, and, as result tnere Is
a possibility that the officials of the roads VIII
eDdeavor to secure an injunction from the red
eral court TO restrain the men from interfering
with their business, if they proceed TO MI the
vacancies with non-union men. 1t is said by
representatives of both branches of the freight
handlers that the tie up is complete ana that
every railroad handling freight is affected. At
present according to the union representatives
between $500 and 1900 men are directly IN
yolyed and the number probably Will be IN
creased.

cision of Judge Burlington hundreds OF men, act
ing on orders from the Pennsylvania Railroad

of cutting down Western Union poles on rail-
road property In this division. IN a short time
miles of poles holding hundreds of miles Of tele-
graph telephone and electric light wires. went
down with a crash between Pittsburg and East
Pittsburg. kilograms tonight showed that the

decision of the United States Court in Pennsylvania
as to the right of the road TO it's contract with
the Western Union Telegraph Company. the Penn
syvania Railroad to-day destroyed the pole lines Of
the company from this city to Camden.
The wrecking crew was sent out with derrick
and engine The derrick was halted at each pole,
a chain run about the lower end of the pole and
guy rope attached TO the top to tilt the pole away
from the derrick. Then the machinery was started
and up came the pole. The broken wires were
rolled up by laborers.
The action by the railroad cut off the telegraph

With the passage OF the law eliminating the

large constructive projects, some Of the Tammany
aldermen are fearful that they are being entirely
overlooked. and the addition of gold badge to

Eight years ago the aldermen passed q
resolution for the purchase OF $50 gold badges, but
the Board Of Estimate and Apportionment would
not grant the appropriation
