JOHNSON DEFIES COURT
AND TEARS Up TRACKS
cieVeland's Mayor Nay Be Sent
to Jail For Contempt.
SURPRISES STREET RAILROAD


Leads Large Gang of Men to Remove
Rails and Refuses to Obey an
Iniunction-Tells Men, to Keep
Up Work Of Destruction.
Cleveland, Ohio.-Mayor Tom l..
Johnson has openly disobeyed an in
junction issued by Judge Ford, OF the
Court of Common Pleas.
Mayor Jehnson's defiance OF the
court occurred while he and q big
force OF men under his direction
were tearing up the tracks OF the
Cleveland Electric Railway Company
on Fulton Road, between Lorraine
street and Franklin Circle. This
work was done in pursuance of the
Mayors fight for a three-cent fare.
The more than a month
ago was directed by the City Council
to take I'D it's tracks in Fulton Road
and remove them to the east side OF
the street to make room for tracks OF
the Forest City Railway Company,
which was recently organized to OBJ
crate lines on a ~three-cent fare basis.
The Mayor led 200 workmen to
Fulton Road and they began tearing
up the tracks. Chief of Police KoA-
Ter was there with a large number OF
officers. The action had been care
fully planned and the company was
taken completely by surprise. Before
it was able to get an Injunction three
fourths of the half-mile OF single
track between the points named a
been ripped out and thrown to n
side of the street.
The gang of workmen had been
increased to 400, and rails, ties and
dirt were flying at a rate that sur
prised even Engineer Clark, OF the
Cleveland Electric.
Where did you get these men"
he asked of Mayor Johnson. Il wish
we could get a gang that would tear
out tracks at that rate"
Judge Ford issued a restraining
| order on request of the Cleveland
Electric Railway Company. directed
against the city of Cleveland, its Off
GERS and the Forest City Railway
Company. 1t restrained them from
further tearing up the track and Or
Cered them to replace it in the condi-
ton in which they found it. Mayor
johnson was served with the courts
order, but put it rin his pocket and
ordered the work to proceed.
Attorneys for the aggrieved COM
pany immediately drew up a petition
to Judge Ford asking that Mayor
Johnson be cited for contempt. Mean
while the work of tearing up the
tracks was completed and prepare
tions at once begun to lay the tracks
of the other company.
Judge Ford issued q citation
against the Mayor requiring him to
appear in court to show cause why
he should not be punished for con
tempt.
Mayor Johnson's action was the
boldest he has taken in his fight to
force the Cleveland Electric Railway
Company to cut it's fare to three
cents. The company offered seven
tickets for twenty-five cents, bat
Johnson says it is too late for any
compromise, and that the new three
cent line being built will soon have
its cars running.

LONDONS PEACE MEETING
.
Bryan's Rider Unanimously Adept
ed Fer Arbitration treaty.
Baron de Constant BlaIies Germany
For Trying to Rival Navy Of
the United States.

London.-William ]. Bryan's pro-
posed rider to the model arbitration
treaty was discussed at a session OF
| the International Council of the In
(terparlianentary Union and resulted
in it's being recast as follows:
eff a disagreement should arise
| which is not included in those to be
| submitted to arbitration the contract
ing parties shall not resort to any
| act of hostility before they separate
| ly C.. Jointly invite, as the case may
Inecessitate, the formation OF an in
ternational commission Of Inquiry or
mediation OF one or more friendly
| Powers, this requisition to take place
If necessary in accordance with Arti-
| lie VIII. of The Hague Convention
providing for a peaceful settlement
Of international conflicts.
The above was unanimously adopt
cd after speeches by fCrEler Austrian
Minister OF Commerce Won PleEer
md Mr.. Bryan, warmly supporting
the amended rider. The latter said
| that his amendment was aimed at
widening the scope of arbitration SO
IS to include questions of national
oonor, the chances being a hundred
to one that the proposed investiga-
ton of facts would also settle any
Question of national honor. II the
hand of war could be stayed till the
conscience awakened wars would be-
come more remote. The amendment.
therefore, was a long step in the Gi-
lection OF peace.
Mr.. Bryan's speech was brief, but
It was eloquent and aroused much
enthusiasm among the delegates.
Baron d'Estourrelles dc Constant,
head OF the French delegation, sub
sequently opened the debate or the
limitation of military and naval
forces, asserting that if the Powers
were undecided among themselves
how to act for their common inter
asts they would be forced to do SO,
Grst by bankruptcy and then by rev
plution. The Baron said that limiJa-
lion OF ornaments had no connection
with the chimera OF disarmament.
The arguments against disarmament
we're based on the augmented eXpe2-
1iture of the Powers. The augmen-
tatio1s in the United States we're due
10 the unfortunate example of Ed
cope, but in proportion to the popu-
;ation the American forces had not
been increased unreason2bly and the
expenditure had been augmented
lroportio1atcly, the armaments prov
ing the i1aptitude of the Americans
% transform themselves into a na-
lion Of soldiers.

grave fault Of struggling with tae
United States 70: naval pre-emin-
ance and thus divides her energies
both on land and sea, uselessly, 10.
he American States were united and
inaccessible, while the States OF Eu.
cope were divided and will always be-
nenaced by the possibility of 4 coal

A resolution was agreed to in prin.
:iple urging that the question OF dis
armament be placed on the program
Of the next peace conference at The

Lost and Found.

eff you lost a watch worth 500
what reward would you give the Under
for its return"
"Oh, ten or twelve dollars
Ten per cent, Ell? Well, that is
about right" said LecoC, the detec-
tive. 1T is more, though, than the
average person would give. Here in
America in lost n found cases there
is no recognized percentage or re-
ward, but in England there is such
a percentage, namely, half a crown TO
a pound; that is to say,
about 10 per cent. Ten per cent Is
what the finder must be paid in Eng
land, provided he. takes his find to q
| police station or to Scotland Yard. He
always does so, as otherwise the
owner is apt to give him less than
the legal 10 per cent. I lost in a
London cab a kitbag worth $40. The
kitbag was returned by the cabby to
Scotland Yard, and 1 left there for
him gladly a reward of 81. If the bag
had been worth $4,000 I'd have been
charter of handing out 5000, but that
is what I'd have to do before the
| Scotland Yard folks would have given
me my property. When you lose
anything be prepared to give at least
| 10 per cent. to the finder. Ten per
cent. is the recognized reward in lost
| and found cases abroad, and it should
! be the recognized reward here. TIC
my mind it is little enough, and they
! who give less are to my mind dis
