Organization Leaders Confer Regard
-. 49,. ing. Next Move.
Philadelphia, May 26.-It is the gen.
eral opinion that Mayor Weaver for
the present controls the situation in
his fight with the Republican leaders
over the proposed lease of the city gas
works. The next developments are ex-
pected to come from the "organiza-
ton" Insurance Commissioner Dur
ham and his lieutenants were in con-
ference until late at night and their
deliberations were resumed in the
morning soon after Mr.. Durham
reached his Office. Later he repaired
to the Office of United States Senator
Penrose and was in consultation with
him for some time There Is still
some talk of Impeachment proceedings
against the mayor and there is no
longer any denial that this course has
been seriously considered by the lead
ers and their legal advisers. Those
who advise against this step argue
that any attempt to .impeach Mayor
Weaver at this time would only serve
to strengthen his position with the
public.
Just now the attitude of the men,
bers Of the council is giving the lead
ers almost as much concern as any
other feature Of their contest with the
mayor.
Mayor Weaver announces that he
has received sufficient number of
pledges of select and common council
men to prevent the passage OF the gas
lease resolution next Thursday. He
declined to make public the Names of
the councilmen. ~

President Of reamsters' Union Resents
= Attorneys Questioning.
Chicago. May 27.-An exciting Incl
dent occurred during the examination
of President Shea before Master in
Chancery Sherman in the Injunction
proceedings against officials of the
Transfers union. Attorney Levy
Mayer for the employers, in his exam
ination of witnesses, attempted to
identify certain men living in North
Cambridge, Mass, where President
Shea of the Transfers union was
born, in connection with murder in
which Shea, when a young man, is al
legged to have been involved. In this
line of questioning Attorney Mayer
often alluded to Mrs. Shea and her
daughter. Shea jumped from the wit
ness stand and told Attorney Mayer
that he was willing to answer all ques-
lions concerning his family but that
Mr.. Mayer had better not cast any
slurs upon either. A fierce wrangle
at this juncture between attorneys for
the opposing sides brought the Incl
dent to close, the master in chancery
cautiGping all present against further
personalities.

sPANIARDs ARE HUNGRY.
Three Thousand Starving Persons In.
wade Malaga.

Madrid, May 27.-Three thousand
starving persons from neighboring vii
lagos have invaded Malaga asking for
bread or work. They are headed by
landowners who were lately prosper
GUS but are now poor as the most pow
erty stricken peasants.
The procession assembled in front
Of the prefecture and the mob ap-
pealed to the project, who declared he
was unable to help them. He forbade
them to beg and urged them to return
to their homes.
The leaders pleaded that to return
meant death from starvation. Many
of those taking part in the procession
dropped in the streets from exhaus-
ton. The project did not enforce his
order against begging. The leaders
visited large number Of houses ask
ing assistance.

Equitable Life Cannot Adopt MutuaIi.
zation Plan.
New York, May 27.-The motion Of
Franklin B. Lord, which sought to re-
strain the directors of the Equitable
Life Assurance society from mutualiz-
Ing the company, was granted during
the day by Justice Maddox in the su-
preme court in Brooklyn. In granting
the motion Justice Maddox said, after
reviewing the facts in the case:
THE motion, therefore, is granted,
but is limited to the filing and effectua-
ton of such proposed amended char
ter, for it appears that such contem-
plated amendment has been adopted
and executed by the board OF direc-
tors" .-.
The Injunction against the mutual.
zation Of the society is to be in force
only pending the trial of the action
which also involves the same question.
In his decision, Justice Maddox sus-
tanned the contention that the Equita.
bic stockholders never had chance
to vote on the naturalization plan and
rejects as Of no merit the suggestion
made In court by counsel for James H.
Hyde that the permission Of q majority
OF the stock was sufficient.

NECESSITY FOR TROOPS.

Mayor and Business Interests Hold Diff
ferent Opinions.
Chicago, May 27.-The teamsters'
strike is running aleng like a food
tide, no barrier appearing in any direc-
ton to keep it within definite bounds,
and while it has been spreading inter-
est has shifted temporarily from the
strife between employers and labor
unions to differences between the bust
ness interests involved and the local
administration authorities.
In the face of declarations by the
employers that the police department
of the city is absolutely inadequate to
suit of conditions brought about by the
strikes spread to the lumber district
Mayor Dunno announced that there
will be no necessity to call for troops
this week.
The lumbermen, the latest interest
to be affected by the strike, are not 50
optimistic. They seem to be living in
terror of riotous uprising in the vast
area embraced by their yards and
plants-a district peculiarly inviting
to incendiarism.
In anticipation of trouble in the lum-
Der district the mayor instructed Chief
of Police O'Neill to close all saloons
there between The hours of 1 and
p. m in cases where crowds were per-
mitted to gather inside or outside the
premises.
In preparation for protracted strike
siege the Transfers Joint Council has
arranged to send agents to all parts of
the country for the purpose of gather
ing funds.

HAS NO AUTHORITY TO ACT.
President VIII Not Order Life Insur-
ance lnxestiuation

Washington, May q. President
Roosevelt, as heretofore noted, has
been urged to take steps looking to a
government inquiry into the opera
tons of life insurance companies and
especially the Equitable Life Assur-
ance society of New York, concerning
which embarrassing complications
have developed during the past few
months. After careful consideration
of the subject and inquiry into the
legal phases of such suggested in
vestigation the president has deter
mined that under the entire circum-
stances the government has no author
tty to take up the matter either
through a special commission or
through a bureau of corporations.

ATTEMPTED CORNER FAILS.
Price Of May Corn Drops an Additional
Six Cents.

Six Cents.
Chicago, May PA fresh break of
6 cents bushel in the price of corn
for May delivery gave seemingly COM
plete evidence of the end of an at
tempted corner" The principal addi-
tional reason for the drop in prices
was a liberal increase in receipts, ar
rivals being 408 cars, with 2sS cars
suitable to deliver on contracts. The
withdrawal Of 125,OO0 bushels of con-
tract corn from private elevators was
another factor that intended to dis
courage bulls. The market was weak
from the start, initial quotations being
Oft cents, at 60. No support was at
hand and the price fell to 81 cents.
Later the price dropped to 55A
cents. a break of ~ cents for the day.
Although the price rallied consider
ably on renewed covering the close
was weak at So cents.

together with the repairs and reeonstruc-

scale, aggregate a total expenditure OF
about $260,000 The new Medical Col
lege building, completed within the pres
ent year, and the new federal building
now under process of construction, are
not included as buildings erected this
wear. because they were reckoned in last
years total. The Medical College build
ing cost 100000, while up to the present
| time 100000 has been expended in the
construction of the federal building. 1t
! it expected that between $4,000 and
$4,000 more win be necessary to COM
plete the building according to present
plans aud an additional appropriation
will be sought.
| There has been less building in this
city during the present season than for
several years. 1t has been stated that
labor and material are at present both
higher than usual and to these causes
are largely attributed the lack of build
| ing ventures. The plumbers strike
occurring early in the season, as it did,
handicapped many and made Others eau
tious in attempting to build. There
| has been no material increase in rents
and no influx Of population to make

Sherman Blake's friends were sur

him no more for a month.
His unexpected appearance is explain

70 get another box.

Chico to smoke is like lemonade with
out lemon, and even though | had TO
come ten miles to get my cigar, | am

looked the personifcation Of content
ment, letting long whirl of fragrant
Havana smoke float upwards.

ceived another shipment of Wadsworth

good cigar, better than most ten-cent
cigars, to try Chico, and see how well
pleased they win be for half the money,
as it retails for straight five cents.
