Transfer Company Appeals to
Court and Is Granted Re-
straining Order.
NOTICE SERVED ON DEFENDANTS
Union Restrained from Participating
In Strike and interfering With Com
pany's Drivers-other Concerns
VIII Probably Appeal.

Kansas City, March 13.--An injunc-
ton was granted to the Kansas City
Transfer company 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. The ac-
ton was brought on the ground that
the compliments are government
cartmen, being employed by the gov
eminent in transporting bonded goods.
The papers filed with the court state
that the company was unable to Sc
cure the names of all the members of
the union, but such names, when OBJ
tanned, will be added to the list con-
tanned in the order.
The order restraints the defendants
from participating in the strike; from
interfering with or intimidating the
company's drivers; from picketing or
patrolling 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.
nc OullSu OldCeS uSputy mdTSudl
served the order upon the defendants
Immediately after it was granted. 1t
is probable that other transfer COM
panies will ask for restraining orders
from the federal court.
Women Drive Trucks in Kansas City.
Kansas City, Mo, March 1.-Two
women, Mrs. G.. B. Evans and Mrs.
Fl. S. Meyers, took the places of their
husbands, non-union men, and drove
trucks about town in defiance of the
striking transfer companies drivers.
The men offered no interference, but
instead lifted their hats as the women
drove by and cleared the way for
their vehicles. Although it was still
necessary for the police to remain on
duty about the barns, there was no
violence aside from two or three
trucks being stopped A big crowd
of strikers and sympathizers fol-
lowed one wagon, driven by a non
union man, and when a few stones
were thrown he willingly returned his
team to the barns. About so addi-
tional men went out during the day,
making total of 255, and as but few
men were hired in their places the
business of the transfer companies
was practically at standstill.

Creatore and His Band.

The opening of the musical season at the
Columbia Theater last night was suspicious
in every respect The newly decorated house
was filed with an enthusiastic audience
that insisted upon an encore to every num-
Der that was on the program, except the
final selection, and even after that people
remained in their seats expecting another
number. but they didn't get 1t, because
Creatore and his band had to catch train
Creatore has been here before but his
band never was heard to so good advantage
as at last nights concert. 1t was in sp en-
did condition, played with perfect precis-
ion and was absolutely Under the control
of Its acrobatic but talented leader. The
program included two compositions by
Creatore, the overture to ''Mignon," prelude
to the third act OF Tristan and Isolde" a
selection from "Traviata." the Peer Gy MT"
suite and selection from ''Giaconda" The
same soprano soloist. Nine. Barili. who has
accompanied the band heretofore, was
heard last night in the romance "Con,ien
partir," from THE Daughter of the Ragi-
ment." Her voice is sweet and flexible but
exceedingly attenuated. Her encore the
'Parla" waltz song, was sung better than
her program number. but still without
power. For encores Creatore gave all lght
selections, which were pleasing TO the au-
dience The peculiar methods of this con-
ductor have been commented on before and
1t only need be said that he is even more
gymnastic and. strenuous than at his last
visit. His antics are show distinct from
the band.

DROWNING OF GEORGE HILL.
Statement Made by Master Robertson
Of the Yacht Gaivota.

In connection with the drowning Of Geo.
Hill Thursday night at the 9th street
wharf, Mr.. William c. Robertson. the mas
ter Of the yacht Gaivota, of which Hill
was Waterman. makes the following state
ment:
about 7:30 pm. Hill. with myself and
another man. were about to take our small
boat and go over to the yacht, which is
anchored in the stream. Upon arriving
near the end of the wharf the other man
was sent for the oars which had been de-
posted near by. While he went back for
the oars Hill jumped down on a pile driver
which was made fast in the slip, while
stood on the end of the wharf, his inten-
ton being to go down and unlock our boat.
which was on the other side. In getting
down on the pile driver he stumbled some-
what, when / called to him to be careful
or he would fall overheard. He replied,
I don't know what is getting the matter
with my head He also mumbled some
thing else that / could not understand. and
as he did SO fell backwards into the river
without uttering the least outcry or making
any noise whatever.
LAS soon as I saw this I Immediately
jumped on the piledriver, and there being
a rope hanging overheard l hung by one
hand and reached out for what l thought
was him, but found it to be his hat. Think
ing that he would come to the surface
again, as is generally the case, l remained
In that position until l considered 1t was
more, than time for him to rise. While hang
ing in this condition l considered the ad-
visibility of trying to get to Inc bottom and
see If it were possible to get him, but 1t
being pitch dark and no one else near to
watch to see whether he came up or not. l
did not do SO, but called to the men on deck
Of the four-masted schooner, VIM. III.
YerkeS, to throw me boat hook so that l.
might try to grapple for him. They did not
have one and passed a long oar over the
side, with which we endeavored to do what
little we could until, minute later. boat
hook was secured
I'm the meantime I gave the other man
orders to telephone and report to the har-
bormaster which he did, and very luckily
he was in his Office, and within very few
minutes reported with his paraphernalia for
rescuing the drowned In less than three
quarters of an hour the body had been re-
covered.
Now it is my opinion that Hill was
either unconscious or perhaps even had
breathed his last before he struck the
ter my reason for thinking being that
he neither made any noise nor came to the
surface again. and while it Is a fact that
can swim my judgment at that time was
and still is, that l was in more advan-
surface of the water with good handhold,
whereby l could see farther and raise
higher and could have struck out for him
quicker in case of his coming up. Neither
of us had reached anywhere near the small
boat spoken of in the report. Had such
been the case, 1t would have been very
easy matter to have pulled him back in the
boat, no matter in what condition he was.
He had been complaining of swimming"
been we'll for some time. He was a quiet,
sober man.
