TOM JOHNSON LOSES.
United States Supreme Court Upholds
His Opponents ia Street Car Case.

Washington, Jan. THE supreme
court of the United States today an
nounced its decision in the stubbornly
fought contest over street car privileges
in Cleveland Ohio. The opinion pre-
sented by Justice Peckham affirm the
decision of the United States circuit
court for the northern district of Ohio
The dispute involved the right to op-
crate street car line on Central ave-
nue., Cleveland, for which both the old
company, the Cleveland Electric and
the New Forest City contended, the for
mer under a franchise which it was
urged was perpetual or a least, good
until 1913 and the latter under city
ordinance passed in 1904 granting to it
renewal of the right to operate
line on Central avenue.
The city authorities were behind the
Forest City line and the old company
asked in its original petition, which
was made to the United States circuit
court for the eastern district of Ohio,
for injunctions against both the city
and the new company. This prayer was
granted by the circuit court but at the
same time it held that the franchise of
the old company had expired, March %,
1905.
The finding was unsatisfactory to all
parties and all appealed to the supreme
court, but the decision of the supreme
court leaves the case unchanged.
During the progress of the case the
court granted temporary restraining
order against the city, prohibiting it
from interfering with the old company's
tracks as Mayor johnson threatened to
do,

SPAR IN THAW CASE.
Attorney Begins Preliminary Work of
the Approaching Trial.

New York, Jan. An application
for a special panel of the taIesmen to
choose a jury to try Harry K. Thaw
charged with the murder of Stanford
White, was made by the district attor-
ney today. The request was based
upon the contention that the wide
publicity given the, Thaw case would
make it exceedingly difficult to get a.
impartial jury. The motion was op-
posed by counsel for Thaw. The court
directed the defense to embody its
objections in an affidavit and serve it
upon the district attorney, after which
hearing would be held on the applica-
tion.
John B. GIeasor of Thaw's counsel
said that he opposA+ the motion, 'sOn
the ground that.aso many false state

Testifying in Shea Case.

Chicago, Jan. 7.-Governor Deneen
appeared as the first witness in the
Shea trial today. He was subpoenaed
by the defense in order to show that
efforts were made by the labor leaders
during the teamsters' tsrike to settle
matters by arbitration. Like other wiz
nesses on this point he was debarred by
the court from testifying upon mater
ial points.
Asked whether he had not during the
strike received telegrams from Presi-
dent Shea, the governor replied in the
affirmative but was not allowed to tes-
tify regarding the contents of the mes
ges or to state what he said in his
replies.
Attorneys for the defense then

pIoyers as we'll as with the teamsters

MAP OF NEW RAILROAD
Engineer Parkhurst Will Make a Pre-
lminary Survey.

V. r. Parkhurst, resident engineer
of the Topeka Southwestern railway,
will start on Wednesday of this week
with a surveying corps to make pre-
liminary survey and profile map of
the proposed line from Topeka down
through Auburn and then straight
south through Scranton and on to
Burlington. This line, If built, will
probably be used by the Missouri,
kansas & Texas railway under a traf-
fic agreement to get into Topeka.
The expense of the preliminary sur
vey is to be borne by the people along
the proposed line. They have raised
most of the money already and they
are anxious for the construction of
this road which will put them in di
rect communication with Topeka.
w. L. Taylor, the promoter of the
Topeka Southwestern, and who hopes
to be able to build it as part of that
system, is in Scranton today talking
over with the business men there the
proposition of constructing this line.

DRAFT is PROTESTED.
Big Trust Company at GoIdHcld Ap-
pears Tottcrin@.

San Francisco, Jan. THE Ex-
aminer saws that the L. NJ. Sullivan
trust company of Goldfield is finan-
cially embarrassed and a draft drawn
on tho company by San Francisco
brokers has been protested. Peter
Grant, the treasurer of the company,
is in this city and says the en-
barrassment is only temporary.
81 admit that we are embarrassed.
but it is only temporary. By Wednes-
day things will be in good shape, and
everybody will be satisfied. The pro-
testing of the draft was all a mistake,
and can be easily remedied. There is
a rule in our company that no check
can be validated except by the sig
natures of two officers of the company.
Larry Sullivan went to the fight at
Tonopah on New Years day. and we
have not heard from him since. When
he turns uD. we will be able to right
a great many matters. Graham Rice
has been away for some time. Not
being in Goldfield, things have lost
their direction. He is now in this city
to overwork- I am here to watch him
and take care of him. Everything wel
be all right by Wednesday. Expert
accountants have been at work at our
books and they find that we have as
sets amounting to $1,000,000."
The Sullivan trust company did
big business in southern Nevada min
ing stocks.
Through extensive advertising
throughout the. country various min
ing enterprises were promoted and the
stock sold. 1t is stated that in order
to stimulate the market the company
bought and sold its own securities and
it has failed to honor a draft drawn
by a San Francisco broker who DUR
chased stock for the company.

death and were awaiting execution
when the governor general received a

apparently bearing the signature or
General Pavloff. the military procura-
tor, conveying the emperor's order to
commute the death sentences to hard

have now ascertained that it was a

tionists. who by some means obtained
access to the governmental private
code.

the first of the Devlin companies to
pay out dollar for dollar.
The last fifty per cent dividend
