LIGHT CASE HEARD Attorney Kennedy Objected to
 Judge PeasIey Acting. WAS JUDGE ON THE CASE.
Mrs. Light Is Making An Effort to Get Back Her Children - Probate Court Appointed Her Hus-
 band Guardian of Them.

The appeal of Mrs Kate Altman Light from the decision of the pro- bate court in appointing her husband Orson guardian of their two little children, Orson and Ada, was heard by Judge Reed in the superior court to-day. Mrs Light was represented by Attorneys Kennedy and James R. Lawlor while MT Lights interests were in the hands of Judge Peasley.
 Early in the proceedings Attorney Kennedy objected to Judge Peasley appearing in the case on the grounds that as counsel for Light he was try ing to enforce an order he had him. self issued as judge of the district court. Some time after Light had de- serted his wife, Judge Lowe appoint ed him guardian over the two chil- dren, but Mrs Light refused to sur render them and then Light institut- ed habeas corpus proceedings before Judge Peasley in the district court, and he decided that the little ones should be given over to the father. Those who witnessed the separation, or rather the taking of the children from their mother, will hardly ever forget it. It was the most heart rend- ing scene they ever were spectators of. The children would not be parted from their mother and their cries were the means of attracting large crowd and filling every window in the neighborhOod of the court house with inquiring faces. After half an hours struggle the children were taken away in a hack provided for the purpose by their father and Mrs Light almost swooned in the arms of her friend, Mrs George P. Foley Of 43 Union street.
 Mrs Light took an appeal from the probate courts decision on the grounds that her husband is an inn proper person to have the custody of the children. Two or three times she went to see them after their removal from her care, and their grandmoth- CT, in whose custody they were, re- fused to let her in the house.
 Over a dozen witnesses. including Dr John F. Hayes, Denis A. Magraw, the janitor of the court house build ing, and a few newspaper men who witnessed the parting of the children from their mother, testified for her. Most of the witnesses were either friends or neighbors of Mrs Light. and all of them testified that she was sober and competent woman and capable of providing and taking care of the children.
 Light. on the other hand. had number of witnesses, perhaps half dozen, who testified to the contrary.
 As to the point raised by Attorney Kennedy against Judge Peasley act ing as attorney in the case and there by trying to enforce an order he had himself issued as judge. the court decided that while there was nothing improper in the act, 1t was entirely a matter for the person objected to to decide.
 The case may close late this after noon.

RAILROADS MAKE
 4 FLAT REFUSAL Freight Handlers Are Given the Cold Shoulder In Their Demand For
 Higher Wages LAST YEARS WAGE SCALE. Will Be Renewed, But This Offer Will Not Be Accepted By the
 Men Who Are on Strike.

Chicago, May 29.-The railroads gave their first definite answer yes terday to the demands of the freight handlers for an increase in wages. It was fiat refusal. While only two of the roads, the Rock Island and the Chicago and Eastern Illinois, dis closed their positions, their action is believed to be indicative of the stand which the others will take.
 Committees chosen from the em- ployes in the Rock Island freight houses were told the company was willing to renew the wage scales of the last year, but that an increase in pay, in view of the conditions in the railroad business, was out of the question.
 The offer promptly was refused by the men.
 An attempt was made by the off, cials of the Chicago & Eastern llli- nois Railroad company to induce the employees to sign individual demands.

MADE TO MOVE ON
General Barilass Distributes Proela-
 nation as He Goes.

Mexico City, May 29.-The Mexi- can government has been aware that for some time past dissatisfaction with the regime of President Cabeira against whose administration a revo- lution was begun Sunday, was vide spread in Guatemala and that several malcontehts had gathered in the Mex ican state of Chiapas. The govern ment there required General Baril- las to move to Tonala, some distance from the border, in order to prevent violations of international law.
 General Barillas and General Cas- tillo, on crossing the line Sunday night, distributed a proclamation to the inhabitants of Guatemala. Among other things, the proclamation to the inhabitants recites that the stan dard of revolt has been raised at the two extremes of the republic against Cabeira, the most calamitous figure of our contemporaneous history, who, having possessed himself of the pow CT by crime, has perpetuated himself therein by chain of crimes"
 The proclamation continues:
 We desire. with the entire coun- try, radical reform of the constitu- tion of 1879 in order that it may full fill the aspirations of true liberals who are such by principle and con- viction, not of usurpers who don the phrygian cap for lucre and who, call ing themselves the champions of law and liberty, pass their lives In open an p,ity uith oil 1iharfy oud oil Ia uy , We desire that reform that guaran- tees that the individual may no long CT be at the mercy of the first despot who has mind to trample on them; that criminal functionaries shall be made to answer for the misdeeds: that there may be no more savage torture. arbitrary Imprisonment nor executions without trial in Guate- mala; that justice may be done who is elected thereto.
 We desire legislature freely elected by the people. We desire a change in the blundering foreign pol icy of President Cabeira. We de- sire to cultivate with our sister re- publics cordial and truly fraternal relations instead of provoking by dis Itkdiu Ot Otutto " cuniary claims on the part of foreign powers. Our own government should prove, by the uprightness of it's acts and not by pettifogging subterfuges that the foreigner can live in our midst in the same way as any other civilized country and that we do not deserve to be classed in the matter of international usage with the bar bary states.
 We desire purity. order and econ omy in the administrative expendi- ture through the lettlement of our internal and external debts.
 We desire silver as the basis Of currency and the abolition of the present disgraceful paper money regime.
 "Compartiots. urge you to join me and rally round the banner of national regeneration. Our mind Is made up and we will rise and achieve the regeneration of our country or meet a glorious death"
 The proclamation was signed by Generals Barillas and Barrios and was very lengthy.
