The Application to Continue the Tem-
porary Restraining Order Under
Consideration.
(By the Associated Press.)

New York. June 1.-Justice Green
baum, of the Supreme Court, today re.
served decision on the application OF
William H. Page, Jr., attorney OF Re-
cord, and Elihu Root, counsel Tor
Walter S. Johnston, a banker of this
city, to continue the preliminary in
junction granted the plaintiff against
the Norfolk & Southern Railroad Com
pany, the Chesapeake Transit Com
pany, the Colonial Trust Company, of
Pittsburg, Albert II. Flint, John L.
Bacon and ]. c. Chaplin, as individual
and syndicate managers, and directors
of one or more of the corporations
named.
The complaint says that the Nor
folk g. Southern Railway Company is
a prosperous, dividend-paying corpor-
alton, and shows during the past year
net earnings of about eight per cent
upon the capital stock. The defend
ant, Chesapeake Transit Company, the
papers say is an insolvent enterprise.

a merely nominal value, and the oper-
alton of the Transit Company during
the past year resulted in large de-
felt. A syndicate. the individual de-
PENDANTS i'm this action, acquired three
fGurths of the capital stock of the
Norfolk & Southern Railroad and have
obtained control of the board of d.
rectors of this road. The plaintiff
claims that the purchase of the stock
was financed by the Colonial trust
Company, of Pittsburg, which advanc-
ed the necessary funds and took the
stock in it's own name as collateral Sc
cUrity.
1t was claimed by Mr.. Page in his
argument that the syndicate managers
proposed to issue new bonds of the
railroad company to the amount OF
S4OOO,O0O out of the proceeds of
which the Colonial Trust Company Is
to be paid it's advances, and then the
stock is to be delivered to the syndi-
cate managers, who are to distribute
rs per cent. among the members of
the syndicate as a bonus. The remain
der Mr. Page alleged, was to be dis
tributed among the syndicate mama
gers, and presumably the Colonial
Trust Company.
1t is alleged that $4,000 of the new
issue of bonds is to be used to replace
or retire outstanding bonds to that
amount of the Chesapeake Transit
Company.
The complaint goes on to say that
the action of the individual defendants
| is inspired by their direct personal Pc
cuniary interest, which is in conflict
with their duty as trustees of the Nor
folk & Southern Railroad.
Paul D. Cravath, attorney for the
defendants. denied the charges and
said that the scheme had been aban-

Prince DOlgOrul1y's Attack on Lams-

Effort 10 AsSaSSinate.
(By the Associated Press.)

st. Petersburg, June REPORTS of
an attack upon Count Lamsdorff.
Minister of Foreign Affairs, which
grew last night into a rumor Cater
denied) of attempted assassination,
have their foundation in a personal
assault committed Monday evening by
Prince Dolgoruky, dis1pp ),1.2i on
fice-seeker The Prince is an opponent
of Count Lamsdorffs policy and IS
said to have become insane through
brooding over his alleged grievances.
Count Lamsdorff is none the worse for
the attack.
Dolgoruky formerly Wls IN officer
in the Imperial Hus5ars, ana IS now
on the retired list. At one time he
was connected with the Foreign Of
flee as an attache at Vienna. Since
then he is said to have been a constant
applicant for a position in the foreign
service but without success.
The Prince met Count LamsdOfH IN
the street Monday evening, and With
out warning struck him on the head
with a walking stick. In so doing, he
is said calmly to have announced
that he chastised the Foreign Minister
in the name of the whole Russian
people.
Police agents rushed to the scene
and seized the Prince, who immediate
ly handed them a card, saying 1T was
a private affair. Nevertheless, ne was
placed under arrest.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press has obtained the following
statement from a good source:
prince Dolgoruky after his arrest,
was in a condition of acute nervous
excitement. He explained that his &C.
ton was due to personal resentment
against the minister who had failed
to give him an appointment ne deslr-
ed, and he expressed complete regret
at committing such a lamentable lot
of violence.
1.-THE Emperor is highly indignant
over the episode and has ordered a
medical examination of the Prince in
order that it may be legally determin-
ed whether he is sane. II he is pro-
| nounced insane Prince Dolgoruky viii
be placed in an sylum. If he is re-
sponsible for his actions, he will be
punished.

BULLETIN ON RICE IRRIGATION
Over Fifty Thousand Acres Under Gull
tiyatiOn i'm the CarOlinas and
Georgia.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, June 1.-The Census
Bureau issued a bulletin today, giving
the facts relative to rice irrigation III
the States of North Carolina, South
Carolina and Georgia, showing that
there are 50,223 acres under irriga-
ton in the three States and that the
cost of establishing this system was
$1,730,999. Irrigation is practiced only
i'm the coast counties and is performed
during high tide. The bulletin says:
"While the method of irrigation is
simple, the initial expense of prepar-
ing a plantation is very great and the
cost of planting, cultivating and har-
vesting is considerably higher than in
Louisiana and Texas. Owing to the
moist character of the soil the use of
heavy machinery is impossible and
the labor must be performed largely
by hand. The coastal planter re-
plant and harvest force of laborers to
plant and hardest his crop, and his
returns are no greater than those of
his more favored brother in the South
west, whose fields are prepared and
harvested by the most improved labor
saving machinery. 1t is owing to this
factor that rice irrigation has not
made mere rapid progress in the
coastal counties. Another feature
which during late years has greatly
increased the labor and expenses of
the planters is the uncertain character
of the principal rivers. These streams
once drained, heavily forested slopes
and were fairly regular in flow, seldom
being subject to sudden or great floods.
Now that the forests are gone foods
rise without warning and sweep away
the strongest dikes causing total loss
of crops and frequently lrreparable IN
iury to the fields"

the national convention, and an unin-
Structed delegation was named. While
there are some Hearst men among the
district delegates to st. Louis. the dele
CATION was instructed to vote as a
unit.
The first test of strength was on the
report from the committee on creden7
tials. By vote of 527 to $50, min
ority report of the committee seating
the contrasting Hearst delegation, from
Manistee the only county from which
there was a contesting' delegation, was
tabled. Following this victory Daniel
j. hampau was reelected national
committeeman from Michigan out of
the four delegate at large chosen, not
one was a member of the Hearst ele-
ment. The Hearst members of the
committee on resolutions dissented
from the platform prepared by the
majority and prepared a minority re-
port but after the majority report had
been read, failed to present their plat

WIFE NEEDS NOT

May Sell Her Property as
She PIeaseS.
MAY GET DAMAGES.
Editor MCNeilI, Who Was Injured While
Riding on Free Pass. May Re-
cover Damages if The Rail
road Was Guilty OF
Negligence.

The Supreme court yesterday hand-
&c down another batch of opinions,
Among them Vann against Edwards Is
one which will attract the approval of
the profession throughout the State.
1t is held that by virtue of section g.,
Article X of the Constitution, mar
ried woman has the right to dispose OF
by gift or sale or in any other manner
her personal property, including
checks, notes and bonds, without the
assent of her husband. That clause OF
the Constitution requires the written
consent of the husband only to con-
veyances of real estate by the wife.
The opinion is by Associate Justice
Walker and is a very able and clear
discussion of the subject.
Another opinion of importance is
Mcneil against Durham and Charlotte
Railroad Company, from Moore. 1t is
n rehearing of former opinion in the
case. The plaintiff, editor w. H. Me-
Neill, of the Carthage Blade, was in
jured on the railroad while travelling
on a free pass. The court reatfirmS its
former opinion as to the illegality of
the free press, which was issued to
the plaintiff editor in exchange for
printing the schedules of trains, but
holds, inasmuch as the railroad was
indictable for issuing the pass, but
that the plaintiff was not indicated
for taking it, that he can recover for
injuries by negligence of the railroad.
The full list of opinions handed
down yesterday is as follows
Vann VS.. Edwards, from Hartford,
new trial.
Creech VS.. Cotton Mills, from New
Hanover, new trial.

Democracy would regard public

severity any betrayal of official duty.
Democracy has nothing to gain
from ambiguity and nothing to fear

PAPERS MADE BY THE JAPs.
They Can Be Used for Wall Coverings
Meal Sacks and Tobacco
Pouches.

From the bark of trees and
shrubs the japanese make scores
Of papers, which are far ahead OF
ours, says the National Geograph-
ic Magazine.
The walls of the Japanese
houses are wooden frames covered
with thin paper, which keeps out
the wind but lets in the light, and
when one compares these paper
walled "dOll houses" with the
gloomy bamboo cabins of the in
habitants of the island of Java or
the small Widowed huts Of our
IfOrefathers, one realizes that,
without glass and IN rainy eli
mate, these Ingenious people have
solved in a remarkable way the
problem of lighting their dwell
ings and, at least in a measure. OF
Keeping out the cold.
Their oil papers are astonish-
ingly cheap and durable. AS acoV-
er for his load of tea when a rain
storm Overtakes him, the Japan
csc farmer spreads over it a tough,
pliable cover .OS oiled paper which,
is almost as imperviOus as tarpau-
lin and as light as a gOssamer. He
has doubtless carried this cover
for years, neauAP packed away
somewhere about his cart. The
"rickshaw" coolies in the large
cities wear rain nantes of this
oiled paper, which cost less than
10 cents and last for year or more
with constant use.
An oiled tissue paper which is as
tough as writing paper can be had
at the statiOners' for wrapping up
delicate articles.
Grain and meal sacks are al
most always made of bark paper
in Japan, for it is not easily pen
etrated by weevils and other in
sects.
But perhaps the most remark
able of all the papers which find a
common use in the japanese
household are the leather papers
of which the tobacco pouches and
pipe cases are made. They are al
most as tough as French kid, SO
translucent that one can nearly
e see through them, and as pliable
/ and soft as calfskin. The materia
, of which they are made is as thnE
> as cardboard, but as flexible ss,kid
