green on the lawns that the trees are

trees are in full blossom. It seems to
me that any further announcements OH

of place. The danger of winter storms
is about over as it has been a great
many years since a cold storm of any
severity has visited this portion of the

1T MEANS CHAOS.
Effect of the U. S. Supreme Courts
Opinion in Divorce.

Chicago, April 17--It is estimated by
Chicago lawyers that the decision Of
the supreme court of United States
holding Illegal all divorces except where
both parties to the suit resided within
the same jurisdiction, will make Illegal
500 divorces that have been granted IN
this city alone and pave the way foe
all manner of complications IN the next
generation over inheritance and the
rights to property.
Several prominent attorneys declared
that the decision simply means chaos
in regard to the title TO personal pro-
perty as in cases where man who was,
in the sight of the decision illegally df-
vorced, and remarked, his property
must of necessity go to bis legal heirs
and cannot be held by any children OF
any woman he may have married sub
sequently to his divorce.

RAILROADS FIGHT BACK
Accuse shippers, Especially Packers, of
Defrauding Them.

Chicago. April 17.-Railroad officials
openly charge that the big packing cor
porations for years have been cheating
the railroads by misstating the charac-
ter of the goods they were shipping and
by shipping heavier packages than the
bills of lading called for.
Other big shippers in the east also
are doing things that have helped to
diminish the revenues which the rail-
roads ought to have received
It is estimated by the railroads that
the packers alone beat the eastern rail-
roads out OF s15O,OOO a year. What they
owe all the railroads out of Chicago is
problematica1. but it is estimated at
5000, ,e00 The railway men say they
have known all these things for years
and in a way have demonstrated with
the packers and other companies which
were cheating them. but within the last
few weeks they have made a deternin-
ed effort to bring about a great reform,
and they intimate strongly that unless
the shippers make restitution, there will
be a grand expose before the interstate
commerce commission.

Made Trouble.
TO RESUME.
Gas 0vercame Several WOrkmen
on Friday and Saturday and
Foreigners Became Scared
COLLECTED in Crowd and
Demanded Their Pay.

The Citizens Electric Light, Heat
& Power Company received another
setback today, and as a result the
time for supplying current will prob
ably again be extended. This morn
ing all the laborers of the Perth Am
boy Conduit Company refused to
work, and small crowd congregated
around the Office on Smith street, de-
manding their money. Saturday
noon large part of the force quit
work, and in spite of all efforts the
foremen were unable to get the men
to work today.
About week ago, the conduit COM
pany with a large force, started
stringing the cables on State street.
The work progressed rapidly until
the supply of cables ran out. An eff
fort was made to secure more cables,
and with few reels the work was re-
sumed.
On Friday, near Commerce street,
leak was discovered in gas main,
A number of the workmen were put
to work at once excavating to locate
the break While in the manholes
and trenches, some of the laborers be-
came overcome by the gas. AS they
fell they were revived and others put
in their places. In a short time nearly
all the foreign laborers had had a
try at the gas, and became frightened
over the result. A few, on this ac-
count, refused to work on Friday. On
Saturday morning another laborer
succumbed in a trench, and, in less
than an hour, every workman had
quit his job. They could not even be
induced to work during the after
noon, and loudly clamored for their
pay.
"The trouble is not yet settled, and
il men can be secured to work, the
remainder of the cables will be in
place in three days." said one of the
foremen today. All the cables are
now here, and one complete line from
Smith street to the power house on
DeKalb avenue is now strung in the
conduits.
