BIG STRIKE POSSIBLE
ALL CHICAGO FREIGHT HANDLERS
MAY BE CALLED OUT.
Employees of the Chicago a. Alton
Idle Because Two Union Men
Were Discharged.

CHICAGO. June pa general strike OF
all the freight handlers employed by the
railroads centering i'm Chicago may follow
the calling out of the Chicago & Alton men
to-day. According to President Curran, OF
the Freight Handlers Union, unless the
management Of the Alton road shall recede
from the stand taken it will be necessary
for him to extend the strike to the other
lines to enforce the demands of the union.
The freight handlers employed by the AL
ton road quit work to-day because two
union men had been discharged. There is
no question of wages in the controversy, as
less than a month ago all the roads signed
a new wage scale granting the freight ham
dlers a substantial increase in wages.
president Curran asserts that the two
men were discharged because they were
prominent in the Freight Handlers Union.
and he says these two men must be REIN
stated. The railroad management declares
duty and cannot be taken back. 1--WE have
from seventy-five to one hundred men
working regularly in our local freight sta
of the Alton, tonight. "A number of the
men refused 10 obey the orders Of the union
to quit work to-day Our freight house has
been closed since the strike was ordered.
but we expect to open IL again tomorrow
morning with the men who did not strike
President Curran said tonight IL such an
attempt should be made Tomorrow he
would be compelled to call sympathetic
strikes in the other railroad freight houses.

LEBANON, Ind. June 24.-Daniel r.
White. a farmer, was before the County
Board of Review to-day asking that re-
duction In his assessment be made. White
owns a sixty-acre farm in Sugar Creek
township, which he purchased last fan at
$5 per acre. The land is hemmed in by
surrounding farms and the only outlet to
the public road Is through a strip of land
he has leased of neighbor for year. He
has tried to purchase an outlet to the pub
lie highway, but the owners OF adjoining
farms refuse to sell. He has tried TO arbi-
trate the matter, but has failed. He then
tried TO sell his farm for what he paid Tor
II, but was unsuccessful.
He has no assurances that the present
lease on the outlet he uses will be extended
after the year is up and If he cannot renew
the lease he will have no means OF reaching
the public road without trespassing on his
neighborS' lands. The question OF the con-
demnation OF land for the purpose of secur-
ing an outlet came up to-day, but the coun-
~ attorney said that a Supreme Court de-
ciSion rendered that impossible for the rea-
son that property cannot be condemned
for individual use, but only Tor
public use and public utility. Il bought
the land" said Mr. White after this point
was explained to him, with the expecta-
ton OF having to 60 to law sooner or later
to secure an outlet, but now l am told that
/ cannot even get into a lawsuit" He says
the land Is practically worthless under the
present conditions, and asks the Board OF
Review to reduce his assessment.

years, though both parties desired the di-
vorce. The defendant was in court with
his attorney, but did not intend to make
any defense. The property rights had pre-
viously been settled out of court. The COM
plant simply alleged Inconsistency and the
fact that the defendant had said he did not
love his wife, but an attempt was made to
prove the additional charge of adultery.
The court compelled the unwilling attorney
to put his client on the stand. and was not
satisfied with a merely perfunctory general
denial Of the specific charge, but compelled
a detailed examination of the defendant and
then denied the decree
The prosecuting attorney, who has been
