the popular expectation Of a naval
action in the near future. 1t is believ-
ed that Admiral Rojestvensky, having
filed his coal bunkers and re-supplied
his fleet, is now in a condition to as
sumo the aggressive, if he so desires.
1t is the opinion of some that Ro-
jestvensky may make a demonstration
in the vicinity of the island Of Formosa
and the Pescadores, and then enter the
Pacific en- route for Vladivostok. This,
however, is purely speculative. Every
thing depends upon Admiral Rojest-
vensky's plans which, while as yet un-
disclosed, may include an extended
stay in southern waters.
1t is reported that the contractors
who supplied the coal and provisions
to Admiral Rojestvensky in Indo-

the Russian fleet. and arranged a
rendezvous at Kamranh and Hon-Koe

INDIAN WARRIOR

Laboring under the hallucination
on the war path, Ray Dean, an aged
man, charged with stealing and killing
fine mare belonging to Tom Savage,
the eX-councilman, nearly created Il
panic in the county Jail Wednesday
night by taking off all his clothes,
wrapping himself in red blanket and
dancing up and down his cell, yell
ing in the language of his supposed
forefathers.
Guards oVerpowered the man and put
him to bed. He promptly got up
again, threw his bed clothes around
the cell, destroyed the dishes upon
which his evening meal had been serv ed
and then went to bed with his head
hanging downward from his couch. He
was put in straps and put to bed
in the proper way.
Yesterday he was arraigned before
Judge York ON charge of insanity
and committed to Patton asylum.
Dean has been bartender and a
heavy drinker for many years. His
first symptoms of insanity appeared
some months ago, when he bought
himself little white dog and walked
the streets dragging the little animal
after him. He would never walk on
the sidewalk but balanced himself ON
the curb. His relatives in Massachu-

NO MODERATOR ELECTED
AT AFTERNOON SESSION
General Assembly of the Cumberland
Presbyterian Church Brings To-
gether Large Attendance
By Associated Press.


FRESNO, Cal, May 1S.-The general
assembly of the Cumberland Presby-
terian church opened in this city at
1890 this morning, the retiring mod
orator, Judge Warner E. Settle of the
supreme court of Kentucky, being in
the chair. An unusually large large
number of delegates are in attendance.
The Cumberland assembly failed to
elect a moderator for its general
assembly at the afternoon session, as is
the custom, because of contest over
seating a number of delegates. l. ].
McClelland wanted the assembly to
agree not to proceed to the election of a
moderator until the credentials report
had been adopted. This motion failed,
but it was agreed to give the committee
ample time to do it's work and the time
for hearing the report was fixed at the
close of the popular missionary meet
ing at night. Those opposing union
want all of their men to have a chance
to vote in the election of moderator
and the unionists in the interest of
fairness, seem inclined to be indulgent.
1t is currently reported that the anti's
are seeking to prevent the election of a
moderator until they can get more men
on the ground and that the unionists
also expect an increase in their forces.
The roll today showed an attendance of
2SS commissioners, 127 being ministers
and Ill ruling elders. 1t is estimated
that the unionists have a majority of
about 80.

Contentious Of Defendants

The contentious brought forward by
the city council, clerk, treasurer and
Times Mirror company, defendants ir
the Express suit, were as follows:
a. The council, in awarding and au-
thorizing the execution of this contract
for the city printing, acted in it's busi-
ness or administrative capacity, and
not in the exercise of its legislative or
governmental powers.
(2.) There is no rule of law, independ-
ent of statutory or charter provisions,
requiring authority to enter into con-
tract on behalf of a municipality to be
conferred by ordinance.
(3.) The charter of the city of Los An
geles does not, expressly or implicitly,
require the council to contract by or
dinance; to the contrary it expressly
authorizes the council to contract by
order.
a. The mayor is not a component
part of the council when it is exercis-
ing the contracting power of the city
nor is he vested with the power to veto
the action of the council relating to
contracts.
o. All formalities prescribed by the
charter We're observed in the present
case.
(6) The council had authority to or
der the clerk to sign the contract in
behalf of the city, and no ordinance
was required for that purpose.
o. The facts stated in the complaint
are insufficient to entitle plaintiff to

Chicago
RIOTS AGAIN BREAK OUT
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
CHICAGO, May 1s.-Peace in the
teamsters' strike is still hanging in the
balance and although 1t Is generally
expected that a settlement will soon be
reached, It seems tonight further away
than it did twenty-four hours ago.
1t was confidently asserted by the
Team owners association that the
teamsters had consented to arbitrate
with them the question of whether or
not union teamsters should make de-
liveries to the boycotted houses. Presi-
dent Shea of the teamsters' union today
upset this arrangement entirely, de-
clarlng that he had never agreed to
any such proposition.
For the first time in several days a
riot broke out today and there We're
sumerous fights between non-union
men and the union teamsters. One OF
the disturbances at Twenty-second
street and Indiana avenue blocked all
traffic and delayed street cars for half
an hour. The police were compelled
to use their clubs vigorously in order
to disperse the mob, and made several
arrests. The non-union driver for the
wholesale grocery house of Steele,
Weddles & Company, who was the
original cause of the outbreak through
no fault of his own, was badly beaten
before the police could save him.
In some portions of the south side a
xripornuo 70 to ,,,,Io ho {,
developed. Several union teamsters
were attacked today near Twenty-sixth
street and Wentworth avenue and their
union buttons torn off. The men were
vigorously punished before making
their escape.
President Gompers Of the American
Federation of Labor, who has been in
Chicago for the past two days nego-
tiating for peace in the present trouble,
left for Dayton, Ohio, tonight. Before
leaving the city Mr.. Gompers said that
so far he had accomplished very little
but the prospects were that both sides
would soon be able to reach a basis
where a settlement of the difficulty sat
isfactory to both interests would be
decided upon.
"If the trouble still exists when 1
return to Chicago next Saturday" said
Mr.. Gompers, II will take up the mat
ter where I left off this afternoon and
continue my efforts to bring about a
settlement of the controversy"
President Shea of the Teamsters'
union was the chief witness in the
hearing today before Master in Chan
Gerry Sherman. He refused to answer
the great majority of questions put to
him, declaring that his answers would
tend to incriminate him.
The parents of six school children
who have taken part in the strikes be-
cause of delivery of coal by non-union
men, were arraigned today before JUS
tice Hurley and each one of them fined
$40 and costs for not sending the chill
dren to school.
Other arraignments will be made to-
morrow.

EXPRESS CLAIMS
ARE REPUOIATED
TIMES PRINTING CONTRACT
DECLARED VALID
RULING BY SUPREME COURT
Application for Injunction Is Denied
and Contentious Of the Defend
ants Are Sustained In
Every Point
RULING BY SUPREME COURT

The state supreme court has rem
dered decision sustaining in every
point the legality Of the award Of the
city printing contract to the Times
Mirror company last year The in
junction applied for by the Los Anga-
les Express is denied.
The supreme court, in rendering it's
decision, quoted many precedents in
support of it's ruling.
The reasons given by the Express
why the contract should be declared in
valid were as follows:
Claims of Express
a. Because all powers conferred
by its charter upon the city of Los
Angeles must, in the absence of an
express exception, be exercised by or
dinance; and, in this instance, no Or
dinance was passed.
(2.) Because by the express terms of
the charter all legislative powers of
the city must be exercised by ordi-
nance, the power to make contract
of this character is a legislative
power; and in attempting to exercise
it, no ordinance was passed.
(3) Because the charter prescribcs
certain formalities in the mode of exc
cutting a contract after it has been
properly authorized by ordinance;
these formalities are mandatory; no
contract is binding unless they are OBJ
served; and, in this instance, they
were disregarded.
Q) Because the city clerk has no
authority to sign such contract
that is, he is not a person authorized
to sign contracts on behalf of the city;
and the council has no authority to
authorize or order him to do so.
o. Because, even If the council can
authorize the city clerk to sign
such a contract on behalf Of the city,
it can do so by ordinance only, as the
signing of such contracts Is not one
of the city clerks official duties, and
his duties can be added to by ordi-
nance only, while, in this instance, the
attempted authorization was by order,
and not by ordinance.
