Street Car Controversy in Mayor
Tom J0hnsOn's Town Comes
40 "a Crisis.

Cleveland, Ohio, April 23.-Ruthless des-
ecratOn of graves in the rush to com
plete the Low Fare Railway Company's
lines in Sumner avenue southeast. was
one Of the features of to-day's fast-recur-
ring developments in the street railway
controversy. East Ninth Street Gene
terry. the oldest in the city, was invaded
and thirteen trolley poles placed adjacent
to the Sumner avenue line.
AS fast as Workmen dug up the bones
of pioneers buried in the graveyard they
covered them in pile of dirt What dis
position was finally made of the remains
is unknown. The trolley poles were in
some instances set against tombstones.
Harris s Cooley. director Of the public
service, said tonight that the graves
desecrated must have been unmarked
He added that the company had no right
20 molest graves.
The Municipal Traction Company to-
night transferred its lease Of the Forest
City Railway Company to the Low Fare
Company, in order to evade a court in
junction that had prevented the municipal
corporation from running cars from the
West Side to the public square.
This action was also taken to evade a
suit now pending in the court charging
Mayor Johnson with a personal financial
interest in both the Forest City and the
municipal companies, which is against
the law and equity By this transaction
the Municipal Traction Company goes out
OF business.
The Cleveland Electric, in pursuance Of
its notification to the city council last
night, ceased operating cars at midnight
on Central and Qihey avenues. and IN
accordance with Mayor Johnsons orders
more than a hundred policemen are now
patrOlling these two thorOughfares to pre-
vent, if possible, the Cleveland Electric
from taking up It's tracks, as it has an
nOunced it would do.
Il shall call out the entire police and
fire departments If necessary TO prevent
the removal of tracks upon Central and
Quincy avenues. said the mayor this
afternoon. The Cleveland EIectric's fran
chises on those two streets have expired.
and the mayor claims the Lower Fare
Company has the right to operate over the
tracks thereon.

pany from running or attempting to
run its cars on Central and Quincy

"The great difficulty now is that the
criminal business in this county is so great
that the grand jury and the courts are

King Edward and Queen Have Novel
Experience at Naples Church.


Naples, April 23-The King and Queen
Of England spent yesterday here in
sightseeing. They visited points of inter-
est and incidentally had an experience
which amused King Edward and which
brought CONSERVATION to a monk
The incident occurred in front of the
Church Of Santa Chiara. Their maies-
ties approached TO visit the edifice. but
found it closed as the monks in charge
were taking their midday meal.
A member Of the royal party Knocked
for admittance. A monk came to the
door and thinking those outside were
beggars, did not trouble to open it. but
called out: "Begene in peace; there is
nothing for you here"
This remark amused King Edward i'm
mensely. and he laughed heartily. The
visitors then knocked again and ex-
planned they desired to visit the church.
but the sacristan. frritated at their per
sistence, shouted out: Don't bother me;
this is no time for sightseeing. The
brothers are at lunch"
At this moment Gen. Salsa. who was
passing, recognized the visiting sover-
eigns and ordered the monk 20 open the
door. This he did. and when he learned
the identity Of the visitors his conster-
nation knew no bounds.
