FINED BY HIS UNION.
For Attempting to Extort Money from
 Newark Employees.

New York, June 15.-Accused of at- tempting to 'extort money from em- ployes in a Newark, N. J., hat factory, David Richman has been fined $999 99 by the hatmakers' union About eight months ago similar charges were made against Richman and he was fined $99999.
 He was then foreman of depart ment in the factory. Although he de- clared at the time that the charges were trumped up, it is said he has since been paying the fine in weekly installments out of his wages, He declares that the new charges are trumped up against him and that he will not pay the second fine
 Why the union made the fine one cent less instead of an even $1,O0O, none of those in the case will explain. The complainants asserted before the union that Richman had asked them to pay him g. a week out of their wages. They also declared that they know he was receiving money from other men in the shop.
 Richman told them that the money was to go to the firm. hA

BALFOUR'S REPLY
Says Diplomatic Relations With Servia Are Being Considered
GIBSON BowLEs's QUESTION

Brought Forth the Information from
 MT Balfour That He Might Be Able
 to Give More Information Later
 Seryian Minister at London Notified
 of King Peters Election.
 , London, June 15.-Premier Balfour announced in the house of commons to- day that the future diplomatic rela- tions between Great Britain and Ser via were under consideration.
 The subject was brought up by a question of Gibson Bowles, conserva- tive, who inquired if the government proposed to continue diplomatic rela- tions with those concerned in the as- sassination of the king and queen of Servia. who had now assumed the government of Seryia, what attitude the government intended to assume in consequence of recent events, and whether any communications were passing between the powers with a view to concerted action.
 MT Balfour replied that he could only say at present that the mattec was under consideration. So far as d1plo- matic relations were concerned these came to an end with the death of King Alexander, because the British repre- sentative was only accredited to the late king.
 The premier added that his answer would probably be considered in ade- quate and intimated that if MT Bowles placed his question on paper, in the regular way, he might be able to give additional information to-mor- row.
 The Servian minister in London re- ceived official notification of the elec- ton of King Peter at 2:4O o'clock this afternoon. The telegram was signed by M. Kalievics, foreign minister In the provisional cabinet, and said:
 .sThe skupshtina and senate meeting together in joint congress, unanimous ly proclaimed Peter Karageirge king of Servia."
 The telegram instructed the minister to announce the fact to the British for eign office.
 The British foreign office received the first news of the election of King Peter from the Associated press. The official said that before taking definite action they would await King Peters assumption of the throne and the con- stitution of the new cabinet. It was frankly added that if the new kings cabinet included those who were con- cerned in the assassination 1t would be impossible for Great Britain to con- tinue diplomatic relations with it. The question of King Peter's enforcement of the punishment of the murderers was left in abeyance.

DESTRUCTION OF TREES.
Rev Mr Han Says Is the Reason for
 Floods and Drouth.

Floods and Drouth.
 New York, June 15.The Rev Frank Oliver Hall, preaching in the church of the Divine Paternity, upon Gods Rev citations Through the Trees" has de- clared that the desolation now appar- ent everywhere in Palestine, Asia Minor and other countries is due to the destruction of the trees. He said:
 There is the same story all the way around the Mediterranean, and we may trace the path of civilization by the desolationsit has left. If We could know the full truth about the garden of Eden suspect we should find that man was cast out of the garden, not be- cause he ate the fruit of the tree, but because he cut the tree down.
 'sAnd here in America we are doing the same thing. We send out our portable sawmills, and each year a ter ritory equal to that of Maryland is stripped clean of trees. We can all ready see the barrenness and desolation that have been wrought in New Eng land, and now we are carrying out the same policy in Michigan, Wisconsin and elsewhere. The evils of food and drouth follow"

.YACHTSNEN AND WEATHER
The Latter Seems to Have the
 Better of the Argument

Last Nights Thunderstorm Did Not
 Clear Up Atmosphere The Weather
 Was So Bad This Morning That All
 Hands Were Disheartened and Con-
 cluded That They Must Wait An
 other Day.
 New York, June After the some. what unsatisfactory attempts at racing off Sandy Hook last week, the crews of the three cup yachts, Reliance, Con stitution and Columbia, did not view the resumption of the contests in the Sound to-day in a driving northeas1 rain storm with any great degree od conplacency.
 1t was hoped last night that the thunder shower which swept the Sound would clear the air and give the big yachts as well as severa schooners and small sloops which had been entered for to-day's event, the annual Glen Cove regatta of the New York club, a chance to try conclusions in good weather. But early in tht morning the wind shifted over into fht northeast and by the time the crews had finished breakfast the rain wal coming down in sheets.
 To the delight of everyone eager to see the yachts in good racing breeze the rain ceased about 10 o'clock and the breeze increased until 1t was blow ing eighteen or twenty knots an hour It soon kicked up quite a sea in ths sound and the whitecaps appeared ev anywhere.
 When the regatta committee arrived at the start the wind was blowing di agonally across the sound from the north northeast, and at Il o'clock i looked as if the committee would sent the yachts over the small equilateria triangular course, with q beat to Grea Captains Island, reach across ths sound to Lloyd's Neck and another reach to the finish, fifteen mile: around the triangle with 8 repeat, mak ing course of thirty miles. The wint blew so hard and the weather seemed so threatening that the Reliance ove1 in New Rochelle housed her topmast and at il o'clock. an hour before ths time set for the start, 11:23 a. m, sht gave no indication of making sail.
