Court to the United States Circuit Court
this afternoon by the defendant, in which
Henry c. Begole, receiver of the ST. Louis,
Vandalia & Terre Haute Railroad Com
pany, is the complainant, and the Pitts
burg, Cincinnati, Chicago & st. Louis Rail-
road Company and others are the defend
ants. in which Begole asks that the defend
ants be ordered to make an accounting of
the amounts expended for betterments and
repairs of the st. Louis, vandalia & Terre
Haute Railroad and the difference between
20 per cent. of gross earnings of the road
and the cost OF maintaining and operating
the same, not including amounts expended
for real estate, and betterments and re-
pairs.
Mr.. Begole alleges that the board of d.
rectorS OF the st. Louis, Vandalia & Terre
Haute which had been leased to defend
ant as successor to the Terre Haute q In
dianapolis Railroad for 20 per cent. of the
gross receipts. did fraudulently withdraw

be spent for betterments and equipments
contrary to the lease.

The second temporary injunction against
the City of Indianapolis, enjoining it from
assessing abutting property owners for the
resurfacing of Massachusetts, avenue, was
granted yesterday by Judge Carter of the
Superior Court. The injunction was issued
on the petition of twenty-eight owners of
property on Massachusetts, avenue between
East and Pratts streets. The resurfacing
OF Massachusetts avenue was done by The
Barber Asphalt Paving. Company on i'm
provement resolutions adopted by the
Board of Public Works last year, which,
the compliments alleged were irregular.
Another contention was that the resurfac-
ing of a street is in the nature of a repair
rather than an Improvement and should
be paid for by the city instead OF the own
ers of the property benefited by ii.
The property owners along Massachusetts
avenue between Delaware and East streets
secured a temporary order on the same al
legations as made in the case decided yes
terday. The temporary orders will serve
the purpose of the petitioners until the
final hearing of the case. when it will be
determined whether the city or the prop
erty owners should be assessed the cost
of the Improvement In the event that the
decision is against the city many jobs of
resurfacing planned by the Board of Works
may have to be abandoned, as 1t is said the
city has not enough available money to
pay for the work contemplated.

VICE PRESIDENT LEWIS.
Mine Workers' Omcfal Returns to the
City with News.

lily WIN NCWSs
Vice President Thomas l.. Lewis, of the
Mine Workers Union, returned to the city
yesterday from Charleston, w. Va. Mr..
Lewis looked over the West Virginia strike
situation and his report at headquarters
was that the strike is progressing we'll.
About 5000 men can be given employment
in the New river and Loup creed districts
of West Virginia and of these only about
1900 are working. The men who are work
ing are expected eventually to go on strike,
but at present the surveillance under which
the operators keep them precludes the pos
sibilty OF their conversion to unionism.
Mr.. Lewis predicts that before the strike
ends the operators will be convinced of
the uselessness of stubborn resistance and
will be ready to arbitrate the trouble. The
mine workers will demand recognition of
the union, following which an attempt will
be made to bring the operators to an agree
ment on prices of labor and other techni-
calities of mining employment The pri-
mary object of the strikers now, however,
is to compel the United Mine Workers of
America to be recognized and to insist on
the operators classifying the laborers and
paying them as is done in other fields pro-
portionate to the earnings of the mines
and the profits In the sale of coal.

Mrs. Lorafn Affords Suit.

The complaint of Mrs. Lorian Afford for
s., 900 damages from Isaac Cohen, keeper of
a barrel house, and his bondsman, Albert
Lieber, of the Indianapolis Brewing Com
pany, because of her sons overindulgenoe
in liquor in Cohen's saloon was dismissed
yesterday and will be filed in amended form
when redrawn by Frank McCray, attorney
for Mrs. Afford. Mrs. Affords story of
her sons wrongdoing is a pathetic one He
is said to have become an habitual drunk
ard and from working brakeman on one
of the railroads running into the city he
became a loafer about saloons. In his
drunken spells he is accused of having sold
his mothers furniture and abused her, and
his final act of drunken insanity was to sell
the furnishings of his mothers bed The
young man is twenty-five years old and re-
Gently disappeared from the city.
Mrs. Affords ground for damage is that
the saloon keeper, knowing her sons habits
and possibilities when drunk, continued to
sell MIN liquor and also sold intoxicants to
him while he was more or less under the
influence of liquor, despite the fact that she
had warned him Of the consequences and
commanded him to refuse to sell liquor to
her son.
