To Restrain Enforcement Of
the Anti-Cow
Law.
MRS. DINNEEN ACTS.
Attacks the Legal Status Of
Three Of the City
Councilmen.

A petition for an injunction to re-
strain the officers of the city from
carrying out the provisions of the
stock ordinance, adopted on the
End day of this month, was filed in
circuit court late Saturday after
noon.
The petition was filed by Mrs.
Catherine N. Dinneen and John
Feland is the attorney. The petition
says that three of the city council
men who voted for the adoption of
said ordinance are ineligible to be
councilmen under subdivision 2 of
Section 3484 of the Charter of the
City-"That they shall hold no other
civil Office, nor be directly or indi-
rectly interested in any contract
with the city, &C."
The petition further says that
Councilman L. w. Whitlow, after
having helped fix the license for the
sale Of spirituous, vinous and malt
liquors in the city of Hopkinsvile,
that he afterwards obtained license
to sell same.
The second charge in the petition
is that Councilman j. B. Jackson,
was, at the time he voted for said
ordinance, the Secretary of TIE
Board of Health of Christian Coun-
ty, and drawing salary of 5000 per
year.
In the third place the petition
says that Councilman Lucian H.
Davis was, in March, 1902, elected
Treasurer of the Western Kentucky
Asylum for the Insane, and that he
executed bond and took the oath of
Office and entered upon the duties of
the office.
The petition states that by reason
of all these matters and things, that
the said Whitlow, Jackson and Davis
rendered themselves ineligible as
members of said Board Of Council,
and charges that they were not
eligible members of said Board of
Councilmen and had no right to
participate in or vote for the ordi-
nance adopted and complained of.
The petition further states that
said ordinance lis a violation of the
statutes of Kentucky in such cases
made and provided for" Mrs.
Dinneen says that she is informed
that various and sundry members of
the city council Of Hopkinsville have,
since their taking Office. entered into
various and sundry contracts with
the city for pecuniary gain and
profit, and that said ordinance is
void.
Mrs. Dinneen further says that
she is the owner of a valuable cow,
and that she will be damaged by
said cows not being allowed to run at
large upon the commons.
The court issued a temporary re-
straining order on condition that
the plaintiff execute bond with good
security in the sum of $500. the
bond was given and the court fixed
next Saturday, June 18th, as the day
on which the motion for an injunc-
ton will be made.
By the action of the court the cow
law is imperative until the case is
decided.

Japan Will Name Terms.

At the preliminary meeting, it is
the understanding that Japan will
indicate the terms on which the En-
peror would be willing to conclude a
permanent peace. The terms then
will be transmitted directly to the
Russian Government, the question
of their acceptance or rejection then
lying with the Russian Emperor.
Later at a meeting of plenipoten-
tiaries of the two Powers, the details
of a treaty of peace will be consider
ed. This formal peace conference,
the probabilities now are will be
held in Washington, both of the
belligerents favorably regarding this
capital as place for the drafting
and signing of a treaty of peace.
Japan's Terms.
There is an infinite amount Of gos-
sip here about Japan's terms, but it
is almost irresponsible, the best in
formed members Of the diplomatic
corps, even the British Embassy be-
ing convinced that while the main
outlines are matters of common
knowledge in America and in chan
cellories of Europe, Japan has not
revealed her exact terms even to her
ally.
Russia is not likely to prove recall
citrant. According to the best opin
ion she is prepared to abandon the
whole of her Manchurian adventure
and give guarantees. The rub will
come upon the question of indem-
nifty, which it is the consensus OF
opinion in diplomatic circles, Japan
will exact, but if it should be made
moderate and sugar-coated so that it
could be liquidated by the sale of the
Chinese Eastern railroad and the
cession of Russian property and
leases in the Kwantung Peninsula, it
might be overcome. Russia will
probably insist on holding the rail
road to Vladivostock through North
ern Manchuria, and will never sub
NIT to the humiliation of disarma-
ment in her only port in the Pacific,
nor to the inhibition against having
warships in those waters.

Roosevelt is The Man Who

Japan Will Name Terms And
ALI Europe Will Urge
Reasonable Demands.

Washington, June IL. Both Japan
and Russia have agreed to the Presi-
dents request that they appoint
plenipOtentiaries to talk peace and
Roosevelt is the man of the hour.
1t is diplomatic triumph of the
first magnitude, and the diplomats
make no attempt to conceal their adj
miration of the new-world brand of
diplomacy, which acts while the re-
mainder Of the world thinks.
President Roosevelt returned to
Washington at $3.50 o'clock last
night, after his brief outing in Vir-
ginia. Upon comforting with Secre-
tary Taft and Mr.. Loeb it was an
nounced that nothing concerning the
negotiations for peace in the Far
East would be made public. Before
the reponses of Russia and Japan are
published they will be transmitted
formally by the President, the Rus
sian note to Toxic and the japanese
note to st. Petersburg. The stu
alton is said to be satisfactory to the
President, and the assurance is given
that there is no hitch in the negotia-
tions.

In spite of official dubiousness as
to the result, a well-defned report
was current to-day that Russia had
already practically obtained Japan's
conditions and that they proved so
surprisingly moderate that Russia
would certainly accept them as a
basis for negotiations.
