ENGINEERS DO NOT UPHOLD THE STRIKE Grand Chief Stone Says Cor tract was Populated STRIKERS ARE TO BLAME Jencks of Local Engineers organiza- ton Says MT. Stone Cannot Die

STRIKERS ARE TO BLAME

New York March 9.-The most inter- estlng development in the subway and elevated railroad strike situation in New York today was the stand taken by some of the national labor leaders in repudlat- ing the action of the local leaders. who ordered and are conducting the strike.
 The first intlmation the public had the strike was not endorsed by the national unions, came in q statement from Grand Chief Stone of the Brotherhood of Lo- ccmotive engineers to which the motor men belong. Mr Stone stated the strike was a violuation of the laws of the na- their contract with the interborough company He ordered the men to report for duty, failing which expulsion from the order is threatened.
 Stone Makes Statement.

 New York March 9.-Grand Chief War ren E. Stone of the Brotherhood of Loco motive Engineers issued a statement late today concerning the strike on the sub way and elevated lines In which he said:
 "The present strike now going on by men claiming to represent the Brother hood of Locomotive Engineers is in direct violation of our law. It is not recognized, nor will it be supported by our organiza- ton. The contract entered into in Septem- ber 1904 between the Interborough com pany and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers we recognize to be as binding today as it was when signed, and loyal members of tho Brotherhood of Loeomo- tive Engineers are instructed to at once report for duty and comply with the terms of the agreement Members refusing to do so will be expelled from member ship in our organization.
 Tt has been reported to me that many of our members have been mislead by statements that the grand officials had given consent to this strike. This Is not correct No request was made nor grant ed nor were the officers of the Brother hood of Locomotive Engineers consulted in the present situation.

overruIes the Motion.

Judge Tayler, m deciding the motion asking the removal of the grand jury, de- clared that the Court of Appeals had in the Scott case" covered the questions raised by the defense. and that 1t was, therefore. overruied He did not regard the two counts of the indictment as good, and District Attorney Sullivan said that he was willing that they should be killed.
 It is probable that the case will be given to the jury tomorrow evening. That matter rests with the length of the arguments to be made by the lawyers. and they were not able to say this after noon just how much time they would re- ouire. If the arguments are not finished tomorrow the case will go over until Monday.

FRENCH CABINET QUITS.
Decision to Resign Is Reached by
Premier Combes and His
Colleagues.

Paris. Jan. 16.-The ministry of M.
Combes after emerging successfully
from its bitter midnight struggle in the
chamber of deputies. has decided to
abandon the field while some portion of
its prestige still remains, and has sig
nified its intention of resigning Off
cial announcement of the designations
has not yet been made, but M. Combes
has definitely stated the intention Of
himself and his colleagues. Formal let
tiers of resignation have not been for
warded to President Loubet, owing to
the death of his mother, which occurred
Sunday. The effect of the change upon
the governments policies is not consid-
cred to be great. 1t Is expected that the
new ministry, while not yet named. will
carry out the programme relating to sep
aration of church and state, although NJ
Combes' retirement probably will exer-
else moderating tendency. The issue
which proved most decisive In Fastening
the designations of the ministers was
popular cutlery against secret reports on
the lives of army officers. The change
will undoubtedly insure the abandon
ment of the last vestige of that system.
The enactment of an income tax and
other important measures will not be
materially effected.

GOOD OPENING FOR FUSS.
But Before Hostilities Were Opened

A new family had moved into the

A new family had moved into tho

Coincidently with the arrival of the

five or six half grown kittens moved
in and took possession OF an obscure
corner in the hallway; says the Chica-
go Tribune.
From the statements of parties most
interested it appears that these ami
mails began bowling at or near six
O'Clock D. m. of the same day, and kept
1t up without any intermission worth
mentioning until IL o'clock, at which
hour a tall man wrapped in the folds

of squeaking slippers was seen de-
scending the stairway from the apart
ments on the second floor.
AS he reached the bottom of the
stairs a door leading into the apart
ments on the first floor opened. and
man with skull cap and an angry
countenance emerged.

the man in the dressing gown, but

taking them to the front door, and de-
posting the bunch on the porch OUT

PROBABLY A FANATIC.
Man Under Arrest in Philadelphia Who
Tried to Destroy Frederick the
Great Statue.

Philadelphia, Jan. leicester Ros-
seau," who was arrested in this city on
Thursday with an unloaded Internal ma
chine in his possession, admitted to the
police on Sunday that he is the man who
attempted to destroy the statue of Fred
erick the Great in Washington last
Tuesday, and also that it was he who sent
the trunk containing an Internal ma
chine to the British steamship Umbr!a
at New York in May, 1903. The prisoner
whose right name is not known gives no
reasons for the attempted outrages. ex-
cept that there are too many foreign
affairs in this country" After having
Rosseau under fire all afternoon. the
police classed him as an American pa-
triotic fanatic" The prisoner gave no
Information voluntarily to the police, he
admitting only these things which the
police had fastened on him. Both the
Washington and New York authorities
want the man. and it is probable that he
will be turned over to the police Of the
latter city.

AWKWARD DINING IN JAPAN
The First Meal Partaken OF by an
American There Is Sure to
Be Trying.

II it's your first Japanese dinner you're
having a dreadfully hard time. In the
first place, writes Bertha Eunkle, in
Child Life in China and Japan" you
must sit on the floor, for they don't have
any chairs in Japan. You kneel down,
and then you turn your toes in till one
laps over the other, and then you sit
back between your heels. At first you
are quite proud to find how well you co
it, and you don't think it's so very I'M
comfortable. But pretty soon you get
cramped, and your legs ache as If you
had toothache in them. You don't say
anything, because you think that II the
japanese can sit this way all day long,
you ought to be able to stand it few
minutes. Finally both you feet go to sleep
and then you can't bear 1t moment Ion
ger, and you have to get UP and stamp
round the room to drive the prickles out
of your feet, and all the dancing girls
giggle at you. This isn't your only trou-
BILE, either. All you have to eat with is
pair of chopsticks, and you're in terror
lest you spill something on the dainty
white mating floor Now the floor of
Japanese house isn't just the floor; it's
the chairs and sofas and tables and beds
as well. At home 1t would be mortify-
ing enough to go out to dinner and spill
something on the floor; but in Japan,
where people sit and sleep on the floor.
it seems even worse. So you are unhappy
till your little nesan (who Is the waitress,
and almost as prettily dressed as the
dancing girls. but not quite) comes
laughing to your aid, and shows you how
to hold your chop-sticks. After that you
manage nicely the rice and the omelet,
but the fish and the chicken you can't
contrive to shred apart without drop
ping your cbop-sticks all the time. So,
between dances, the maiko-little girls
about II years old-kneel down beside
you and help you. They can't keep from
giggling at your awkwardness; but you
don't mind-you just giggle, too; and
everybody giggles and has lovely
time.

that he had determined to take his life.
and that he would take Brant with
him." To WertZ he admitted his
troubles and asked Wertz to settle up
his affairs and Go the best he could for
