Scalpers Enioined.

Louisville, Ky.-Judge Kirby hand
ed down an opinion in the injunction
suit of the railroad systems running
to st. Louis via Louisville, against the
local scalpers, who it is claimed, find
the special World s Fair tickets with
conclave Stop over privileges here a
good source of investment. By Judge
Kirby's opinion the scalpers must not
sell non-transferable tickets, but may
speculate in the transferable reduced
rates. As the low rate tickets are all
non-transferable, this decision is more
of a victory for the railroads than
for the ticket brokers.

THE YOUNG CZAR.
Heir to the Throne is Born in Rus

st. Petersburg. A son and heir to
the Russian throne has been born.
The Empress and the child are doing
well.
The heirs name will be Alexis Nj
kolaivitch, and if he reigns he proba-
bly, will assume the title Of Alexis IL.
The Alexis was Emperor of Moscovy
in 1645.
The Emperor and Empress of Rus
sia formerly Princess Alix of Hesse)
who were married Nov. IA, 1894, had
four daughters, Olga, born Nov.
3, 1895; Tatiana, born May 20, 1897 ;
Marie, born June IA, 1899, and Anas-
tasia, born June 5, 1901.
The birth so greatly wished for,
that of an heir to. the Russian crown,
occurred not in the great palace at
Peterhof, but in the Alexandra villa,
one of group of four small palaces
in secluded corner of the magnif-
cent Peterhof Park. In one of these
buildings the Empress had been iv-
ing for weeks.
The other three are occupied
by members of the imperial family,
gathered there is expectation of the
event.
The birth of the heir to the throne
was attended with all the ceremonial
ordained imperial tradition.
Garlands and lamps were strung
along across almost every house front,
while from many of the larger build
ings flashed the Russian arms, the
imperial monogram and other de-
vices picked out in electric globes.
Early tens of thousands of tapers
glimmered before the affairs of st. Pc
| tersburg's MANY shrines.

PACKERS
STAND FlRn
REFUSE TO HAVE ANYTHING TO
DO WITH STRIKERS.
SHAREHOLDERS LOSE
Retailers Fail in Efforts Looking to
Another Conference. Strikers Will
Now Try Power of the Federal
Court. Started by Stakeholder.

/
Chicago. stock yards strike
seems no nearer a settlement than it
did the day the struggle began. Eff
forts of committee composed of re-
tail butchers and grocers to bring
! about conference between the pack
ers and the strike leaders was of no
avail.
No statement was issued by the
packers regarding the conference, and
they refused to discuss the matter
further than to confirm the statement
given out by the intermediary COM
mittee.
When the strike leaders were in
| formed of the determination of the
packers to refuse to enter into further
conference with the unionists, they
began to form plans to force the hand
of the legal department of the United
States government in an endeavor
to bring about a settlement. This
move was decided upon by the legal
advisors of the strikers after they
had received what they considered
reliable information that the Attor-
ney General would not make a move
to bring into operation the perpetual
injunction now held by the govern
ment against combinations among the
packing firms unless ordered to do SO
by President Roosevelt.
The plan in effect is this:
An action will be started in the
Federal court in the name of strlk-
er, who holds stock in one of the
biggest of the packing concerns, de-
manding that the injunction be put
into operation on the ground that the
illegal combination still exists, and
that through it the shareholders are
suffering a loss. This it is expected
by the strike leaders will induce Pres
ident Roosevelt to take up the strike
and force the packers to produce their
books, contracts and agreements III
operation. Such step, it is believed
by the strikers, will bring the packers
to terms and end the struggle.
There will be meeting of the gro
GERS and market wagon drivers and
should a decision as to a strike be
reached the meat supply of the city
will be cut off.
While standing on his doorstep
John Sehuman, strikebreaker en-
ployed by Swift and Company was at
tackled by rioters and severely beaten
Before the police could reach the
scene of the disturbance crowd OF
400 rioters had gathered about the
place. Schuman was thrown to the
ground and every one of the disturb
ers who could get near enough admin
istered kick upon the prostrate man
A riot call was sent in, but the crowd
seeing the policemen coming scattered
and no arrests were made. While
Schuman was seriously hurt it is not
believed that his injuries are fatal.
President Michael Donnelly of the
Butchers Union said: "It looks to me
as though this is only the beginning
of the fight. / will not stand now
for the first agreement. The matter
is now beyond me. The Allied Trades
Conference Board will have to ap-
prove of any terms offered. do not
think the packers will agree to terms
that / would insist upon now, and OF
course the strike can not be settled
unless terms are satisfactory to al
the unions in the allied trades.
