RUSSIAN SHIPS
Must Leave Manila Within "a Hours
or Stay.

Washington, June Sin demanding
tbac the three disabled Russian cruis-
ers leave Manila within "a hours. or
inferno, the Washington government
las determined upon an Interpretation
Of international law referring to ships
taking refuge in a neutral port, that
Russia will probably protest against.
Heretofore in some quarters 1t has
Leen held that ships taking refuge in
neutral port should be allowed ''rea-
sobable time" in which to make them
seaworthy, without reference to arma-
rlent.
The action of the Washington gov
ernment today shows that officials
iere regard stricter Interpretation as
HTplying in the present instance. The
damage to the vessels was received in
war; therefore, it is the opinion of the
navy and state department officials
that they should be given no oppor-
tunity whatever to have repairs made.
except such as they may patch within
the "a hours that international custom
allows.

Miners Who Have Wages Coming Are Unable to
Buy Groceries, Minerva Man Coughed Up

Of the mines at Linden Tree, which
are controlled by Davis, and besides
the bank stock he held he had at the

closed and the miners are unable to
get supplies of groceries or food, be-
ing without money.

1t looks as though the township
trustees would have to care for the
miners until they get, some relief from
Davis.
Mrs. Ham Kennear, former resi-
dent of Carrollton, had $1,000 on de.
post in the bank. A few weeks prior
to the failure she was fortunate
enough to draw $4,000 from the bank,
placing it with a Cleveland concern.
Her daughter, Miss Olive, lost $500
and Harry Van Horn is out $1,000.
John Fishel, of Minerva, deposited
$500 just before the bank closed. He
is very wrOth at Cashier Bachtel,
who claimed to be his friend for
taking his money. He states that
Bachtel gave him the glad hand and
invited him back in his private Office.
where he relieved him of his money
with smile. Joe likes, of Sherods-

GOV. HIGGINS OPINION.
Albany, N. Y, June 5.-Gov. Higgins
lift Albany today for a ten days trip
to the west. Before starting he gave
expression 10 his opinions on the
Equitable affair.
Il do not think legislative investi-
cation of the society's affairs will be
necessary" he said. Legislative ac-
lion may seem desirable, but no legis-
lative committee could gather informa-
ton relating to the Equitable which
the superintendent of insurance is not
able to get. Conditions will be probed
to the bottom, and insofar as lies in
my power any evils that exist will be
corrected"
Mr.. Higgins was asked whether his
remarks regarding the desirability of
legislative action referred to the entire
Insurance situation.
Insurance within the state of New
York." he replied, ''ought to be put be-
yond any question so far as the hon
esty and reliability of the corporations
authorized to do business is con-
Cerned."
He repeated his opinion that the mu-
tualization of the Equitable was a
question for the courts to settle, and
not the legislature. and added: Il am
sill in doubt as to just what is best
to be done"

SHEA
ARRESTED AGAIN
ANOTHER PHASE OF CHICAGO
STRIKE SITUATION.
Report That Manager or Department
Store Has Asked For Confer
ence With Drivers.

Chicago, June 5.-President Shea,
of the Transfers Brotherhood was ar
rested once more this evening as he
was about to attend the meeting OF
the teamsters' joint council. Hugh
McGee, president of the local truck
drivers union was also taken with
him to the sheriff's office. The war
rants were sworn out IN accordance
with the revised indictments on the
conspiracy charge returned by the
Cook county grand jury last Saturday.
attorneys Lebosky and Cruice we're
notified and after securing bondsmen
went to criminal court where Judge
Tuthill was waiting and bail in the
sum of $4,000 each was soon arranged.
James B. Barry, business agent for
the express drivers, and James Sulli-
van, another leader, came to court
this evening and furnished bail in the
same amount.
When the joint council convened II
was expected that there would be a
lively time, as 1t was reported that
President Shea's opponents had mus
tered all their forces to make an at
tack on him tonight on some points
which they considered unwise. How
ever this may be, the fact Of his new
persecution" as 1t was termed, kept
all opposition silent and when he re-
turned from the sheriff's office he was
received with tremendous shout of
welcome.
Mr.. Shea stayed but short time
at the meeting and declined to talk
when he came out. Attorney Cruice
said for him however. you can see for
yourself what this LOOKS like. Mr..
Shea has been at his hotel and about
the city all day and yet the warrant
was not served upon him until he was
about to attend to important business
affairs connected with his brother
hood"
A step, the meaning of which is no.
quite clear, was taken. Mr.. Shea was
present. One of the department store
drivers representatives arose and said
he had been approached during the
afternoon by the manager of GER
tain store and asked to have APP
pointed a committee to see him to-
morrow with a view toward arranging
settlement for that particular
branch of the strikers. After a short
discussion committee of three was
sppointed to wait upon the store man.
ager tomorrow and see what was
wanted. Certain leaders of the coun-
ell said after the meeting that this
committee was TO meet the store or
stores with the distinct understand,
ing that they (the drivers) had been
sent for, and with this made clear
they were at liberty to make an hon,
orable settlement for their union if it
could be arrived at.
In view of the fact that the depart.
ment store managers approached last
week said that all overtures for set
tlement must be made to the employ
ers' association as a whole, it is hard
ly believed that anything can come OF
this new move. The strike leaders
were unit in declining to discuss
this matter-simply saying that the
committee had been appointed
No definite action was taken to
right at the meeting of the team
owners association, it being decided
to defer everything until the truck
drivers are heard from tomorrow
night.

STERLLIZFn TRkINS

The Chicago Limited over the Erie

day a completely and thoroughly steri,ized
train. deYce has been perfected by
Chemist Landon of the Mechanical De-
partment by which all the cars on this
vestiouled train are thoroughly sterilized
at Jersey City after each round trip be-
tween Jersey City and Chicago, a run Of
vo thousand miles. The daily routine OF
sterilization began on Wednesday Of this
week
Experimens looking to this method OF
so cleaning cars as to kill all disease
germs aid destroy all bad odors, have
been in progress nearly a month. The
Pullman Company has investigated the
method and has given its consent that all
bedding, clothing and hangings in their
cars used on these trains, shall be sub
mitted to the sterzng process, as they
are satisfied it kills all disease germs, in
jures nothing in the cars and makes
travelling IN such erilized cars absolute

FOOT BALL AS NOW PLAYED

For years there has been a growing
sentiment against the game of foot ball,
as at present played In our American col
leges and Institutions of learning, The
bases Of objection are that the game Is
to- strenuous. too rough, too brutal, too
dangerous for the PARTICIPANTS; that the
element Of skill and science in its prosecu-
ton is quite disproportionate to the ele-
ment Of brute force; that the game has a
degrading effect on its spectators, as well
as S ylayers; that it DEVELOPS instincts
that should be discouraged, rather than
! 'lattered.
This fall. especially there has been a
notable growth in the anti-footoall senti-
ment. Even President Roosevelt, whom
no one accuse Of effemnancy. has taken
he matter in hand to the extent of call
ing conference of Yale, Harvard and
Princeton coaches and getting them to
promise that so far as they can they will
endeavor to eliminate roughness and row.
dyism from the game. President Eliot Of
Harvard disapproves of foot ball. Coach
Reid of Harvard recently declared that
unless brutalism could be cut out, the
American game should go.
Foot ball, properly played, has a right
to standing among clean athletic sports
II is historic game, dating back to classic
times. 1t is lively and celebrating, brings
into play quiokness and skill, trains the
mind and body and is pleasing to witness.
But foot ball has degenerated in this coun-
try to plane where many of its exoeler I
features are lost, and others quite the re-
verse substituted.
Many of our people will agree with
Prince Louis of Battenburp, who, after
seeing his first game Of American foot
ball at West Point thus expressed himself:
1t is the nearest approach to war, in
time of peace
