Vaudeville Booking Agency injunction
Proceedings Heard in
New York
IN Associated Press.


NEW YORK, July 4-Supreme Court
Justice Blanchard reserved decision on
the question as to whether a permanent
injunction shall issue to Frank Melville,
a vaudeville manager, restraining the
United Booking Offices of America
from alleged interference with his busi-
ness.
The concern is the booking agent of
the Keith-Proctor Amusement COM
pany. 1t has a circuit including 1856
houses in Albany, Syracuse and several
other cities. A production of which
j. A. MorosS was manager was booked
for Melville's circuit. Moross, it is al
legged, broke his contract, which was
for only two weeks, when informed, it
is said, that he would have to decide be-
tween Melville and the United Booking
Offices of America.
II was urged in support of the injunc-
tion that this was conspiracy to bar
cut of the trust theaters all productions
placed in independent theaters.
Opposing counsel denied these
charges, and declared that inasmuch
as the contract provided for Sunday
performances, 1t was void.

CHICAGO, July 4.-The youth Of
America paid dearly for it's Fourth of
July celebration, according to dis
patches received from all parts of the
country. At midnight the roll call of
death amounted to thirty-ei with
many of the larger cities of the nation
to hear from. This is exclusive of the
number said to have lost their lives by
drowning near Omaha.
While in some respects the day was
quieter than usual in Chicago, the
deaths directly attributable to the use
of explosives number three, including
one of a few days ago, and injuries
mount up to nearly one hundred.
At midnight the list of hurt and
MANNED contained eighty names and re-
ports were still coming in. Throughout
the country the same story was told
Reports Look Large
independence day seemed to be less
boisterous, but when final recapitula-
tion was made, the total of fatalities
and seriously injured looked large.
There were thirty-five deaths reported
at midnight from outside cities and
towns, with New York and other mu-
inequalities holding back returns.
One year ago Chicago showed no
deaths and 115 injured, and the country
at large showed forty-six deaths and
2505 injured.
Fourth of July. 1906, then, promises
TO run UP almost as many deaths. with
| the list of nurt so incomplete that only
an estimate can be made. The outlook
is that minor casualties this year will
not be far behind the last. Among
the cities reporting deaths outside of
Chicago are the following: Amesbury,
Mass; Admission, Ala; Butte, Mont;
Cleveland; Elkhart Ind; Sioux City,
Iowa; Kenosha, Wis; Negaunee, Mich;
New Bedford, Mass. New York city,
Oswego, N. Y; Pittsburg and Kansas

ST. LOUIS, July 4.-The st. Louis
& Suburban Railway company, with
its constituent properties the st. Louis
& Meramet River Railroad company,
the st. Louis & Kirkwood Railroad
company and the Brentwood, Clayton
& st. Louis Railroad company, will
pass into the control of the North
American company within week.
Negotiations were formally begun
for the transfer of the properties to the
North American for the United Rail
ways company, and it is certain that
the sale will go through.
This will give the United Railways
company every car line in the city

all the trolley lines.
The North American company owns
all the electric light and power COM
panies of st. Louis except the LaClede
and Edison electric, these two being
the property of Clark Brothers of
Philadelphia.
The arrangements for the sale of the
Suburban to the North American were
made at the Mississippi Valley Trust
company's office. The basis of the
transaction is that each share of the
Suburban stock will be exchanged for
one share of United Railways pre-
ferred. The United Railways stock
thus acquired will not draw dividends
until January l. 1908.
