JOHNSON DEF|ES COURT

CIeveIand's Mayor May 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
Tn 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 Johnson's defiance OF the
court occurred while he and a 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 company more than q month
ago was directed by the City Council
to take up 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 OPP
crate lines on a three-cent fare OASIS
The Mayor led 200 workmen to
Fulton Road and they began tearing
ND the tracks. Chief of Police koh-
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 had
been ripped out and thrown to one
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 menu
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
dered them to replace it in the condi-
tion in which they found it. Mayor
Johnson was served with the courts
order, but put it in 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 prepara-
lions at once begun to lay the tracks
of the other company.
Judge Ford issued a citation
against the MayOr reouiring 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 its fare to three
cents. The company offered seven
tickets for twenty-five cents, but
Johnson says it is too late for any
compromise, and that the new three
cent line being built will soon have
its cars running.

TO Be TREATED ALIKE
English Governments Plans For
TransvaaI Constitution.
VOTE FOR EVERY ADULT MALE
Churchill in the Commons and E1gin
in the Lords Explain the Pro-
ject-Wild Scenes Follow the
\ Speeches.

oRSSS~
London. - In a speech of great
moderation, carefully designed to
propitiate his opponents, Winston
Spencer Churchill, Parliamentary
Secretary of the Colonial Office, i'll
the House of Commons explained the
Governments plans to confer a con-
stitution on the T%ransyaal. Dwelling
on the urgency Of the question, he
described the Transvaal as the nerve
centre of South Africa, and said the
new country reproduced in miniature
all the dark and tangled problems Of
the old-established European States.
The Governments guiding princi-
pie had been to treat Boer and Br1-
ton alike, and to make no distinction
in granting the boon of British citi-
Zenship both to the men who fought
Loyalty for Great Britain and to those
who resisted the British arms with
desperate courage. While the Gov
eminent had been careful to secure
for the British every advantage they
might justly claim, South Africa's fu-
ture depended on both races learning
to look to the mother country as a
friend. The Government decided for
the principle of manhood suffrage
against any property qualification.
Therefore, every adult male twenty
one years old, who had been a resi-
dent six months in South Africa, eX-
cept members of the British garrison,
would be entitled to vote under the
secrecy ballot system.
An animated debate followed the
closing of Mr.. Churchill's remarks.
Mr.. Balfour, winding up for the
,Unionists, pronounced it a reckless
and audacious experiment. He ar
gued hat it was too near the wal to
expect the Dutch to forget what they
had suffered, and more than human
nature could grant to expect them to
be loyal to Great Britain. He said
ar explanation of this hurried proceed
ure was the Governments burning
desire to get rid of all it's economic
questions in South Africa which it's
rash pledges of a general election
had brought upon it.
Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman,
the Premier, answering Mr.. Balfour,
said that never in the course of his
parliamentary career had he listened
to a more unworthy, mischievous and
unpatriotic speech.
An exciting scene followed these
remarks, the Unionists shouting
Shame ""Gag, ""Apologize," With
draw" but the chairman promptly
called a division on the question of
the Colonial S~ecretary's salary, which
was carried, ZIG to SO.
While this was occurring in the
Commons, Lord Elgin, Secretary of
State for the Colonies, had made the
same statement in the House of
Lords as Mr.. Churchill made in the
House of Commons. While Mr..
Churchill was praising the new CON
stitution his cousin, the Duke of
Marlborough, who was Colonial I'm
der Secretary in the former Govern
ment, was denouncing it in the upper
house.
Lord Harris asked what flag would
wave over Pretoria twenty years
hence. Lord Miner declared he saw
a tragedy behind the precipitancy of
the Government, and mourned that
the future of the Transvaal was to be
left to chance.

public depositaries, we are in position to
pay you for your bonds almost as much
as you will receive from the Government
in principal and interest. even though you
sL.ould hold them to maturity.
We can pay 1874, or at the rate OF
$685. so, for a $1,000 bond. To retain your
bonds when you can sell them at this price
is equivalent to your investing your funds
at a rate of less than three-fourths Of n
per cent. per annum.
Conditions are unusually favorable 10 the

of the highest type are much lower than
they nave ruled for several years.
If you are interested in taking advantage
of the peculiarly favorable opportunity to

shall be pleased to have you write US. In
case you have $4,000 or more of bonds, we

other questionable means, walked
into the county Jail and announced
that he wished to surrender himself.
Belcher has been travelling about
the country for a year in an endeavor
to elude justice. He knew that de-
tectives were on his trail and decided
to give himself up. Several weeks
ago he wrote to Prosecutor Finley
that he intended to return and take
his punishment. Belcher had been
in New York for nearly a week, and
stayed there until he knew that he
was about to be placed under arrest.
Belcher said: Il had exactly $500
when 1 left Paterson. 1 had been
considering the step for several
weeks, and it was simply desperation

neighborhood of Debreozin, where
crops on 10000 acres already have
been consumed. Desperate means
have been adopted to keep back the
invasion, but without avail.
Fires lighted to check the progress
of the insects have been eXtinguished
by the on-moving mass, after which
the survivors of the army of devasta-
ton has continued it's march. Twelve
steam rollers have been used at one
place to crush the ~locusts, but they
have made no apparent impression.
Locusts cover the earth in many
places to the depth of several inches,
