FL Io1eitO de
las ChinChes

La Sala sexta de la Audien-
cia de Paris ha sentenciado un
pleito, en- ell que Sc debatfa esta
question esencialmente practica
Y a la vez delicada: "tPuede
ser causa de rescision del con-
trato de inquilinato la existen-
cia de chinches en- Una casa?
Inco0 ell pleito la sefiora Ma
zure, .inquilina de un cuarto ST
tuado en- el boulevard de Cour-
celles, pidiendo la rescision del
contrato, la devolucion de un
trimestre de alquiler que pag6
adelantado, y una indemniza-
cion por da1os y perjuicios, ale
gando que ell cuarto era inhabi-
table, a consecuencia de haber
sido invadido por las chinches.
Ell perito a quien Sc encargo
de informar acerca de las pro-
porciones de la invasion, dijo
que, en- efecto, habia chinches
en- las habitaciones, pero que lie
era impossible juzgar hasta que
punto podfan perturbar a la in
quilina en- el disfrute de la casa.
Su propietario, basand ose en-
este dictamen, sostenia que
eran exageradas las quejas de
la inquilina, por 10 que su de-
manda deb1a ser reChaZada.
Sostuvieron los abogados de
las parties sus respectivas tests,
V ell tribunal ha razonado su
'Sentencia en- estos termiDOs:
"Considerando que Ell perito
no ha podido fjar, como Sc COM
prende faci1mente, e1 ndmero de
chinches que pueden ser tolera-
das en- una habitaci0n; porque,
en- efecto, un inquilino que ten
ga habitos de limpieza Sc halla-
"a en- la imposibilidad de disfru-
tar en- paz el local alquilado, 81

mientras otro inquilino que este
en- cierto modo vacunadO por I'm
cOntactO diario con la "miSeria" ,
no concede la menor importan-
cia a la presencia de algunas
chinches.
"Considerando por otra parte,
que la chinche Sc reproduce con
rapidez excesiva en- los medios
que lie son favorables, 10 cual no
permite a TN perito apreciar en-
que condolences no podra turbar
el disfrute de TN 1nquilinO.
"Pero considerable que lie in
cumbe fijar que la presencia de
las chinches en- una habitacion

session del inquilino, y que tiene

alquileres que paga, TN disfru-
te que no puede ser turbadO en-
mas 8 en- menos por la presen-
cia de los parasites y la necesi-
dad de luchar diariamente para
1ibrarse de ellos. -"
En- su consecuencia, el tribu-
nal ha sentenciado a favor de Ia
demandante, condenando al pro.
pietario a la rescision del con-
trato, la devolucion del trimes-
tire de alquiler adelantado y el
pago de una indemnizaci6n de

Puesto que somos tan dados q

ARBITRATION is DECLINED
CHICAGO LIVERYMEN PROPOSE
TO EMPLOY NON-UNION MEN
FUNERALS DELAYED.

Chicago, Dec. 23.-While liverymeS
and undertakers were making prepa-
rations to-day to resume service to
patrons. ''pickets or no picneis in
dignities continued to fall to the lot of
funeral parties. The driver of an
a train, was made the target Of
abusive epithets, and in another in
stance mourners were delayed by
pickets until the body which they were
accompanying had been placed aboard
a train and the train had left the sta
ton.
.z AS the striking hearse and carriage
drivers have declined to arbitrate, the
liverymen announced their determine
ton to-day to resume business with
nonunion drivers.
Police Protection Asked.
Police protection, particularly for
funerals, but also for other depart
ments of the livery business, will be
demanded. The struggle has taken on
more serious aspect and 1T is feared
that the strike will grow more violent.
Premature announcement Of the in
tentions Of the 1iverymen Is said to
be responsible for the decision of the
drivers to reject the peace proposals.
The county commissioners. who at
tended the burial of the father OF
County Commissioner William Busse
yesterday. could get no more dlgnifled
vehicle than an omnibus.
The body of Mrs. Catherine Master
son. mother Of Rev. John Masterson,
was borne thru the street on hand
truck.
Cornelius P. Shea president of the
United Brotherhood of Teamsters, said
yesterday at Indianapolis that neither
he nor the Chicago local officers OF
the teamsters favored interference
with funerals.

quest that the matter be referred to
the Inspector general of the army for
such action as may be required under

in Chicago has fallen off 80 per cent
in the last few months, and I under
stand that seven locals in. the city have
lost their charters. Bad times are
ahead for the labor organizations.
They will reap what they have soWn.
Corruption and conceit have under
mined their strength and their con-
duct has outraged public sentiment.
They have gone so far in their arro-
gance and greed that a reaction has
set in against them. They have
reached their limit and are on the
Wane."
Mr.. Job quoted a printed article of
Henry White Of New York, interna-
ti6nal president of the United Gar
ment Workers, in which he warns
the unions Of their present perilous
predicament. White declares that only
safe, conservative and practical poll
cies can save the unions from extinc-
ton. He inveighs against the audact-
ty Of those who wish to arrive at the
ideal at a jump, and warns union men
that suddenly released from the bond
age of discipline and the authority OF
a boss, they lose their heads and fre-
quently their morals. He tells work
ingmen frankly that they, are their
own worst enemies at present.

CRANK AFTER
THE PRESIDENT
A Long Haired Individual Sought
Roosevelt at the Coudert Funeral,
But He Was Not There.
New York Sun Special Service.

New. York. Dec. 23.-While nearly
a thousand members of the bar and
others were waiting al. st. 'Patrick's
cathedral yesterday for Vyte arrival OF
the Coudert funeral party, which had
been delayed nearly an hour by the
late arrival from the south of Fred
erick r. Coudert, Jr., the dead law
yer's son, a man with long hair
stepped up to Eugene Reilly, the head
usher of the cathedral, and demanded
that the usher point out President
Roosevelt The usher in telling of the
occurrence afterwards, said he spotted
theMstranger at once as a crank and
realized the best way to avoid scene
would be to deal with the man gently.
So he replied:
my dear man, President Roosevelt
lis not here.
= We'll, he will be-" declared the
stranger decisive1y. and I'd like to
have you show him to me-.
Reilly, who was standing near the
entrance to the center aisle, gently
took hold of the mans arm and ex-
blamed to him that the funeral was
private one and that he was sorry he
could not give him seat, walked with
him to the door. and saw, him to the
sidewalk. Then the usher stepped
back into the cathedral and told the
other ushers to look out for the sup
posed crank and show him out If he
came back. He did not return.

had been expected. The Canadian
Pacific railroad and Canadian North
ern had greatly increased their plant
by, way of obviating such congestion
as occurred last year. What does the
shortage mean? The fearful think it
may signify that the crop was very
small. The stouter hearted say, it
means that the farmers are SO well off
that they can and do hold their grain
for higher prices One who has gone
about in some of the wheat regions
may incline to this opinion. He saw
much wheat in farmers bins near
points where elevators were getting
little, and the wheat held back was
better than that hauled in.
Difference in Rates.
A similar situation appears to exist
in Minnesota and Dakota. There the
reluctance of the farmers to sell wheat
may be enhanced by their hope to
force the Northern Pacific and the
Great Northern companies to give
them transportation rates as low as
those conceded to Canadian farmers
by the Canadian Pacific and Canadian
Northern. The difference is consid-
cradle. Compare, for instance, the
rates at, five Great Northern and five
Canadian Pacific stations, chosen at
