NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-Justice jerks,
of the appellate division of the New
York state supreme court, decided to-
day that an injunction against organic

fed an injunction to prevent a strike
which had been issued by Justice Dick

brought Dy William F. Mills, William
Nissan and other employees against the
United States Printing company, of
Ohio, the International Stereotypers'
and Eleetrotypers' union and the New
York Stereotypers' unions, in which
the plaintiffs asked the court to pre-
vent the union men from striking to
force the printing company to dis
charge the non union men, The court
held that 1t could not enjoin the strike,
and also that tpicketing' which con-
sisted only of stationing men for OBJ

WACK WOULD HAVE
LAWSON INDICTED
Former St. Paul Man Says He
Has Lost Heavily Through
Boston Flnancier

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-An applica-
tion for the indictment of Thomas w.
Lawson for the showing of the books
of the Amalgamated Copper company
was made at the district attorneys Of
flee today by Henry Wellington Waek
formerly of st. Paul), who lives most
of the time in London. Mr.. Wack is
member of the National Bar associa-
ton of this country and of the Royal
Geographical society, of London. Ac-
eompanied by his lawyer, Charles NJ.
Beattie, Mr.. Wack called at the office
of District Attorney Jerome and left
there his formal application that Mr..
Lawson be indicted.
Mr.. Wack says that he owns outright
one thousand shares of Amalgamated,
and that it was worth when he came
here a few weeks ago 1850. AS re-
suit of Mr.. Lawson's acts, Mr. Wack
asserts his stocks fell to SO and he
suffered loss of approximately $21. .0o0.
Mr.. Wack asks that demand be
made on the Amalgamated company for
its books, to ascertain just what its
stock is worth, and if Lawson's decia-
ration proves false, he wants him in
dicted under chatper 435 of the code.

audience hooted the man that shouted

of the street railway company was only
productive of the one result that there
will be another session on the evening

The company at the conference sub
mitted in writing the offers that it had
made verbally on previous occasions,
while the council committee, after

well as of the provisions of the bill.

SIMULTANEOUS. ADVANCE:
HAS QUEER RESULTS
They Move or Each Others Positions
and Both Are Fooled - Explosion
Kills Numerous Japanese - Gen.
StoesseI Receives Another Wound

RUSSIAN NHEADQUARTERS MUK-
DEN, Dec. 16.-There was considerable
desultory firing on both sides today.
The japanese made an advance. but 1t
proved to be only a demonstration.
Night sorties continue. A curious
melee resulted last night from stimuli
taneous advance of both Russians and
Japanese. Two columns of Japanese,
taking advantage of the dakness, adj
vaneed on Russian positions, and at
the same time Russian column set
out for the village of Nanganza. The
Russian column heard the Japanese
firing in the direction of their base
and thought they had been discovered,
but held NanganZa, while sappers
mined and returned. The Japanese re-
entered the village, where they were
greeted with tremendous explosion,
which killed many of them.
In the meantime the two japanese
columns operating in the direction of
the Russians heard the explosions and
thought they had been outflanked,
whereupon they retired. The Japanese
and Russians met as each side was
returning. Both were utterly sur
prised.
A hand -to-hand scuffle in the dark
ness ensued, but as it was impossible
to distinguish friend from foe, proba-
bly, little damage was done. The Rus
sian loss was only one. The night of
Dec. Ia fourteen Russian scouts pene-
trated to the village of Fanshen, where
they destroyed a Japanese signal tow
er and carried off an old bell which had
been used by the Japanese to signal
the approach of Russian troops.

Lawson-Greene Meeting Is a
Mild One

BOSTON, Mass, Dec. 16.-Col. w. G..
Greene, of New York, who accused
Thomas w. Lawson.of this city, of be-
ing responsible for the recent break in
copper shares, came to Boston today
and was met at the Hotel Touraine by
Mr. Lawson. The nature of the state
ments issued by both Col. Greene and
Mr.. Lawson, but particularly by Col.
Greene, who considered Mr.. Lawson
was to blame for the raid upon the
stock of the Greene Consolidated Cop
per company, together with the market
developments of the past few days,
suggested the possibility of clash.
So far as became known, however,
nothing of the kind took place and
Col Greene returned to New York at
5 o'clock.
A member Of prominent Boston
brokerage firm, who attended the con-
ference, issued statement, which he
said had been assented to by both Col.
Greene and Mr.. Lawson. The substan-
tial part of the statement was that Mr..
Lawson had called upon Col Greene
at the hotel, after learning that Col.
Greene was in Boston; that Col. Greene
had maintained at the conference that
the recent breaks in the stock market
were due to the public utterances of
Mr.. Lawson and that the colonel felt
keenly the decline in certain stocks in
which he was interested; that Mr..
Lawson had maintained in answer to
Col. Greene that he had done nothing
to bring about any fall in the stocks in
which Col. Greene was interested. The
statement concluded:
Each gentleman has perfect un-
derstanding of the others position.
There is nothing further to state Of
public interest"
Col. Greene and Mr.. Lawson said the
general statement contained all they
had to express. Their meeting was
cordial.
Tonight Mr.. Lawson issued state
ment confirming the statement given
out earlier, and adding that the episode
was ended.

And now America is conscious of the
greatness into which she has grown. So
rapidly had she been growing. SO earnest
had she been in effort and life that no
pause would she make to measure her
stature and for long she knew not the
heights to which she had been soaring.
But the revelation of herself has at last
come to her. The SpaniSh-American war
was the occasion; America was thrilled
with the sense of her mightinesS; she
heard the returning echoes of her world
embracing prestige and influence; she un-
derstood that great she is at home that
great she is abroad; she understood that
no Atlantic, no Pacific coast sets limit to
her name or to her work; and that to be
truthful to herself and truthful 10 human
ity she must, wills she it or wills she II
not, hold herself to be great and resofute-
ly assume and play amid earth's nations
the role of grea tneSs.
By the very force of her greatness a
leadership in the affairs of humanity is
herself to do it. What shall that leader
ship be? Be it worthy, we pray, for
America! Be it such, we pray, that hu-
manity must bless the day when the re-
public of the West rose into dignity and
power and was enthroned as queen amid
the worlds most queenly nations.
Leadership in Peace
What shall the leadership of America
be? The announcement is made by the

Rojestvensky's squadron to appear as
a witness before the international COM

Duke Alexis, the high admiral, has been
released by order of the Grand Duke
Alexis, who considered that his pun

Capt. Clado has declined to appear be-

he is first vindicated, taking the
ground that his credibility as a witness
had been impaired by his arrest.
Lower the Land Tax
TOKYO, Dec. 16.-The budget COM
mittee of the house of representatives,
completed its labors today and the
measure will be submitted to the house
tomorrow. The war budget has not
been changed, but the ordinary budget
estimates are reduced $7,000,000 by
lowering the land tax. The taxes on
beer and sugar imports and transit
dues are increased $2,000,000. The gov-

trenchment in the administration to
the amount of 100000, leaving deficit

The government is authorized to meet
this by transfers to special funds and

Frederick B. Richmond. Minneap-

Eighth street, near Second avenue

Both died instantly, the woman with
two shots from thirty eight caliber

from one which entered his right tenn
pie and passed directly through his
head.
The murder and suicide occurred
about l. 80 o'clock in the afternoon. 1t
was witnessed by number of persons,
and their stories are so circumstantial
that the coroner has decided that an
inquest is unnecessary.
The two had been af1ianced, and
from all that can be learned the trag-

is said that the grand jury stood nine
teen for indictment and two against.
1t is expected that the state will ask
the court for further time in which to
try the case, as the time in which to
prepare is very short. Gen. H. w.

less than week to faniiliarize himself
