FIRE TIES UP Il" ROAD.
Second and Third AUenue Lines
Blocked at Rash Hour.

South Ferry elevated trains on the Second and
Third avenue lines were completely stalled for al
most sn hour yesterday morning and were unable 10
resume runs on their regular schedule until almost
o'clock last night. The tie-up was caused by fire
which almost wiped out a four-story building at
Nos. S54 and S56 Pearl street, partly occupied by
rag dealers. The current in the third rail was shut
or during the progress Of the fire. After the flames
were under control shuttle trains only were Der
rltted TO at intervals because Of the danser Of
the walls Of the building falling On the tracks
The fire caused panic IN an adjoining seven
stoTy tenement house at Nos. IL and Ie Che--v
street. but the quick work Of the fre1nen prevented
the fire from spreading.
The fire started the third floor where several
Italians were sorting rags The IRE spread rapidly
among the combustible material Upon the arrival
Of the engines the tenants In the adjoining house
were driven into the street and kept away from
the house until the fire under control.
Three members Of Engine Company 12 were over
come by the plngent smoke from the burning rags
and paper
When the second alarm OF fire was sent in. the
electric power the Third avenue and Second
avenue South Ferry trains was shut of Several
trains stalled near the fire, and all were filed
The passengers suffered greatly from the smoke
It finally became SO dense that many wanted TO
get Of and walk. Fearing that the current would
be turned on at any moment, the guards refused
TO open the gates. After half an hour the cur
rent turned but The bare walls OF the
burned building still menaced the trains
During the rush hours last night there was one
Of the greatest jams in the history of car traffic
in this city Passengers anxious 70 get uptown
fought and struggled TO get on the short shuttle
trains Hundreds crowded the South Ferry ths
Hanover. the Fulton street and the Franklin Square
stations
The crush became so dense and the danger 10
passengers who were likely to be pushed OFF onto
the tracks became so great that large cards were
nouncIng. Road blocked. No trains running
The warning was scarcely needed. and hundreds
wormed their way up the stairs, only 10 be turned
back by the ticket agents and patroImen.
Late in the afternoon workmen tore down the
wall which threatening the tracks and at :5S
o'clock the hremen gave orders 10 let trains run
and normal traffic resumed.

CASSIDY DIES HARD.
Retains Control of Club in Spite of
Court Orders and Hicks Men.

Despite court orders and a guard of twenty po-
ncemen. Joe Cassidy, the former Democratic
leader Of Queens. held possession Of the Demo
cratic Club house, in Davis street. Long Island
City. last night where the monthly meeting Of the
club to nominate officers for the ensuing year
held This is the last remnant OF Cassidy's former
power IN Queens and he is being driven to the
wall by inches fighting at every step Members
OF his old guard at present hold several of the
prominent offices in the club and since the
primaries James P. Hicks who heads the anti
Cassidy element in Long Island City has been
striving to drive the former boss and his handful
of followers from their last stamping ground.
Thus far IL has been uphill work.
Ex-senator Luke A Keenan,. Of CaSsidys pro-
teEes is at present chairman OF tne club, and in
consequences Cassidy has about held control OF the
orga nization. In order to prevent the packing OF
the meetings the Hicks faction appealed to the
courts and obtained an order directing the officers
of the club ts allow none but club members TO
take part in the meetings. But, judging from the
manner In which the meeting run last night
court orders don't go in Queens Long before the
Hicks men reached the place last night the build
ing was crowded TO the doors with sort of bread
line winding down the stairs and out into the cold
all eager 10 get a chance at the warmth and good
cheer within When Chairman keenan, finally
called the meeting to order the crowd was in
mood for voting anything. and the Cassidy men
had things all their own way.

be had for $4,000 John B. Stanchfeld ap-
peared for Reynolds.
James Reynolds put on the stand but
aside from declaring that Kallenberg had said
that other telephone companies put up" he
offered no positive proof TO sustain Mr. Trains
declaration. His testimony was on the ''I was
told" Il heard" order.
"Kallenberg impressed upon me-" he said.
that it not question of whether the COM

the franchise. but whether there was anything
in 1t for the aldermen"

money must be put up" some OF the mem
bers were demanding 5000 each He said

was subsequently reduced to $4,000. On cross
examination Reynolds recalled that he was
connected with a where L. B Gardiner

with bribery. He finally admitted that at no
time did Kallenberg demand any money for his
own or anybody else's VOTE and that there was
no agreement between them and nothing in the

 There has been much criticism and much denunciation against alleged government by injunction" and vio- lent attacks have been made upon the judiciary of the United States Dur ing the late session or congress labor leaders differed as to the legislation that was desired. MT. Gompers, pro- fessing to speak for the American Federation of Labor, denounced the so-called Fuller bill, pending before the house committee on the judiciary and advocated by MT. H. R. Fuller, the representative of railway labor unions. in the most bitter terms, as being opposed to human liberty and the rights of labor. Mir. Gompers, with MT. Spelling, his attorney, ad- yocated a bill introduced by request by Representative Pearre, and pend ing before the same committee, which in substance. prohibited United States courts from issuing injunctions in any case between employer and employee unless necessary to prevent irrepar- able injury to property or to a prop erty right of the party making the application, for which injury there is no adequate remedy at law and in the next sentence provided. AND FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS ACT NO RIGHT TO CARRY ON BUSINESS OF ANY PARTICULAR KIND OR AT ANY PARTICULAR PLACE. OR AT ALL.

The power of the courts to issue writs of injunction to prevent irreparable injury to property or to a property right for which there is no adequate remedy at law, Is older than the constitution and as well establish ed as any other principle of law or equity. The inalienable right of each citizen, be he weak or strong. is to come and go to and from his prop erty without molestation. and to carry on business thereon, and, in the ex- ercise of such right, he is entitled to call upon the government for protec- ton through the courts.
