More Trouble.

The troubles arising out of the de
falcatiOns of S. F. Smith are not all
ended yet. Hass & Hamann. acting
for the German Trust company and
Jens Lorenzen. filed claim for 81 O09
against the Charles Sheet estate. The
German Trust campany and Jens Lor-
enzen are now trustees Of the Ella
Parker estate. The claim is based up
ON the ground that S. r. Smith trans

the Sheet estate in order 10 cover up

Deficit Grows,

Quite a surprise was handed TO the
members of the Chautauqua board
when it was learned that the deficit
for this seasons venture was greater
than first anticipated. When the 1905
chautauqua closed it was thought that
the debt would reach $1,000. but now
since the bills have come in the board
finds that these figures will reach be
tween S1.100 and 81 200. 1t was decid
ed to send out a report TO all of the
members of the association of all of the
proceedings in connection with this
years entertainments, including a
statement of all of the expenditures
which will give them an idea of just
what took place

The victim of the murderous attack had been
sent to Gouverneur Hospital. Not witness
to the beginning of the combat was known,
and the dying man refused explanations that
would throw light on the homicide, It
impossible, therefore, to determine who the
aggressor.
Obviously there mystery in the affair, and
my impulse go to the hospital in the hope of
inducing the wounded to talk; but many
duties detained for several hours. Meanwhile,
a message from the station-house where the body
of the dead man lay announced its identification
as that of Beatty, the second mate of the Evening
Star. A sergeant of the precinct remembered the
face because the mate and he together had hunted
the assassin of the Captain. This gave the case

murders In other words, had this last Evening

INJUNCTION USED
IN Chicago STRIKE

Chicago, April 29.-For the first
time since the strike of the American
Railway Union in 1894 the government
has been made party to the labor
troubles in this city. The government
was brought into the teamsters' strike
yesterday by the issu ance of an ipjunc.
ton by Judge G. G. Kohlsaat, of the
United States circuit court.
The writ was asked on behalf Of the
Employers leaning Association on
the ground that the organization is in.
corporated under the laws of West Vir.
ginia and is therefore under the protec.
ton Of the federal court. The order
commands that all defendants refrain
from any interference with the bust.
ness of the Employers leaning Asso.
citation and commands that the strik-
ers refrain from picketing, massing on
the streets with intent to interfere with
the wagons of the complainant and
from interfering in any way with non.
union men in its employ.
The injunction exerted pacifying
influence and there was less rioting in
the streets. President Shea of the
teamsters' union has issued the follow.
ing order:
ITO all union teamsters: Permit no
violation of the peace under any cir
cumstances. Competent drivers can.
not be secured to handle the teams in
Chicago, and violence will not help us
in this strike. Be loyal to your union
and obey its instructions.
The injunction writ is made return
able May 10.
