Mr.. LOEB SAYS BUT LITTLE.
Has a Number of Offers, Including
Local Railway Presidency

Secretary Loeb today threw little addi-
tional light up the story that he is to
become president of the Washington
Electric Railway Company. He. admitted
however, that friends of his had for
long time been accommodating the common
stock of the road through the establish
ment of Hibbs & Co. and that they had
secured a 1arTe amount He did not have
the least idea whether they had secured
sufficient amount to control the road.
but is not giving the matter any serious
thought, and is, he says, mostly concerned
in trying to serve the President to the
best OF his ability.
Judging from the admissions of Mr.. Loeb
the fight for the control of the road has
been going on for number of months, and
is likely to continue. This is in line with
what has been repeatedly stated in The
Star If the friends of the secretary find
themselves in the majority when the stock
holders meet next January. the prospects,
it is said. are fairly good that Mr.. Loeb
may become president of the company.
However, he has had a number of other
offers which remain open to him, and may
accept any Of these instead of the local
one.

BREWERY RECEIVERS REPORT.
Property Seized in Kansas by Order of
Supreme Court

TOPEKA, Kan. April 23.-The three
receivers appointed by the state supreme
court last week to take charge of the
property in Kansas of eight outside brew
ing companies, and of a real estate con-
Germ operated by one liquor firm, made its
report to the court here today. The re-
port shows that the receivers have taken
possession of nine buildings, four at
Atchison and five at Leavenworth. They
also are in possession of a large assort-
ment of bars, fixtures and mirrors. Not
much liquor has been taken. Most of the
places where seizures were made have
been saloons, and the liquor was claimed
by parties other than the brewing COM
panies.
The receivers believe that the brewery
companies will take some action to pro-
tect their property, now that the formal
report of the seizures has been filed.
The brewery attorneys say they are
waiting for definite authority on how to
proceed. On Thursday next a motion TO
appoint receiver in Kansas for the An
heuser-Busch Brewing Company will be
argued in the supreme court. This COM
pany was the only one of the foreign con-
Germs to fight the move for receiverships 3,
and it was not included In the LIST of COM
panies for which receivers were named.

SEVEN ARE MISSING
CLOUDBURsT OVER SUBURB OF
OKLAHOMA CITY.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, April GA
cloudburst over Capital Hill, a suburb of
this city, just south of the Canadian river,
last night flooded that place. Seven per-
sons are missing and believed to be drown
ed. Many persons encamped on the low
lands near the river were caught unawares
and had but little time to make their es-
cape. The river is bank full, and it will be
some time before it can be determined
whether any lives were really lost.
There was another heavy rainfall today,
which caused the river to rise higher, en-
dangering property in the lcwlands.
Three thousand people live in Capital Hill,
which lies south of the North Canadian
river, opposite Oklahoma City. The hill is
drained into a small stream called Light
ming creek, which enters the river just be-
low Oklahoma City. The water came
down the creek and covered the lowlands
in such volume as to force out people lv-
ing in tents. shanties and small houses on
the low ground.
Oklahoma City itself was not endangered.

5000 BAKERS IDLE.
Bread Obtainable in st. Petersburg
Despite Strike.

ST PETERSBURG, April 29-Despite
the secession of the syndicate Of bakers who
granted the demands of the men, the Mas
ter Bakers Association is attempting to
continue the lockout. Six thousand jour-
neymen about two-thirds of the trade,
who refused to accept work under the old
conditions, are idle today. Nevertheless
the inhabitants are only slightly incon-
venienced. Bread is almost everywhere
obtainable.
The syndicate bakers, who control TWEEN
ty-two bakeries and a chain of stores
throughout the city, are working full time,
but many of the smaller bakeries, especial
ly those owned by foreigners. are being
operated by the proprietors with reduced
force To meet the demand for pascal
breads, without which no devout Russian
can pass holy week, the master bakers
participating in the lockout are mixing
dough and selling 1t to their customers to
take home.
The striking journeymen. who in Russia
are fed, lodged and clothed by their en-
ployers, in patriarchal but insanitary
style sleeping in the oven rooms with few

SUED IN WRONG STATE.
Claim for Damages Against c. B. and
6. Adversely Decided.

In opinion by Justice Moody the
Supreme Court of the United States today
decided the case of Robert NJ. Green
citizen of Pennsylvania, agt. the Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy Railway Company
adversely to Green. This was an action to
recover 100000 damages on account of
injuries received by Green in a railway
accident at Brush, Col, in September, 1908.
The suit was instituted in the United States
Pennsylvania, but that court refused to
entertain it on the ground that the Bur
lington road is not legally doing business in
that district, because it was registered as
required by Pennsylvania law in the state
Burlington and Quincy Railroad Company
and not by it's later name of the Chicago
Burlington and Quincy Railway Company.
That decision was affirmed by todays opin-
ion, Justice Moody saying:
The question here is whether service
upon the agents was sufficient, and one
element of it's sufficiency is whether the
facts show that the defendant corporation
was doing business within the district. 1t
is obvious that the defendant was doing
there a considerable business of a certain
kind, although there was no carriage OF
freight or passengers.
THE business shown in this case was In
substance nothing more than that of solici-
tation. Without undertaking to formulate
any general rule defining what transactions
will constitute doing business in the
sense that liability to service is incurred
we think that this is not enough to bring
the defendant within the district so thai
process can be served upon it,

TAMMANY CONTROL.
End of Contest Between Organization

NEW YORK. April 29.-An end to the

tween Mayor Mcclellan and Charles F..
Murphy was announced today, following a
conference between Tir-othy d. Sullivan

mayor would be left free to appoint the
highest class of men he can find for city
Offices but that he tEllson) will advise
against the appointment of men inimical
to the democratic organization or it's lead
ers. Mr.. Sullivan, he said, agreed that only
efficient should be retained in or APP
pointed to city offices. The mayor will rec
ogniZe the right of its leaders to control the
democratic organization, and will ask that
the organization give him its support in his
efforts to solve the great municipal prob
lens which confront him. Mr.. Ellison said.
In that way ii was hoped he added, to
eradicate the lines drawn between the or
ganization and the administration.

BROWNLOW FOR ROOSEVELT
TENNESSEE LEADER PROCLAIMS
LOYALTY TO ADMINISTRATION.
Wants the President Nominated for
Another Term-Not s-.-
"Reactionary."

"Wear the administration button. or get
away from the nie counter That is the
dictum which the politicians say has gone
forth from Washington to the republicans
in the south. They point to Representa-
tive Brownlow of Tennessee as an example
of the working of the rule Mr.. Brown
low, who is the present head of the repub-
Hcan machine in Tennessee, has hurried
hot-foot to Washington and, fguratively
speaking, is all decked out in administra-
ton buttons.
He is going around today loudly pro-
claiming his adherence to the administra-
ton. With a look of pain and surprise
he asks how on earth any one could ever
have suspected that he was not an admin
istration man. Must have been some mis-
take. He never dreamed of being a re-
dictionary; In fact, he plumb despses a re-
dictionary and would not speak to him if
he met him in the middle of the big road
Furthermore, Mr.. Brownlow is so much Of
an administration man that he wants
President Roosevelt nominated for another
term. He goes one better the men who are
willing to take Taft; he wants the real ar
ticle-Roosevelt himself That's how much
OF an administration man he is.
1t all arises over the perennial factional
fight among the Tennessee republicans
For years it has been tooth and nail be-
tween Mr.. H. Clay Evans and Mr.. Brown
low for the control of the machine First
one and then t'other would be on top, but
lately it has been Mr.. Brownlow Then
something caved in along the high bank; he
found his patronage getting away from
him. Take a southern republican leaders
patronage away from him and you have
taken his life blood. Somebody suggested
that Mr.. Evans was a Roosevelt man and
that Mr.. Brownlow was suspected of being
a reactiOnary. Hence the denial.
The particular merits of the struggle be-
tween Mr.. Brownlow ard Mr. Evans are
of no general interest to the politicians, but
the fact that the President is said to be
taking such lively and practical in
terest in southern politics is of absorbing
interest to them. and is causing a great
deal of comment.
