VERY IMPORTANT DECISION
WAS JUST HANDED down

F.. j
PITTsBURG, Eeb. 2G.-The su.
premc Court of the United states yes.
terday set the seal OF It's approval on
the principle that no bridge, no matter
under what charter erected, could in
terfere with the commerce Of the nav.
igable rivers Of the land. AZ
In affirming the decision Of Judge
Joseph Burlington, handed down year
ago in the United sta,es District Court
in Pittsburg in the Union bridge case,
the court of last resort has given the
victory to the rivers-nas declared that
the bridges must go up, not only on
the Allegheny river ana In Pittsburg
harbor, but on the Ohio and on all
streams carrying interstate com.
merce, whenever the Secretary Of War
shall decide that they ebstruct nayl-
cation, and that without the payment
of damages by the Government.
The precedent has been established
the most farreaching precedent
ever set by the Supreme Court of the
United States as to the obstruction OF
navigation.
The immediate effect locally will be
the razing OF the Union bridge
which, It was declared last night, would
not be rebuilt-and the bringing OF
proceedings before the Secretary OF
War against all the other bridges alons
the city's Allegheny river water front
which proceedings have been awaiting
yesterdays decision. The petitions
against the Sixth street, Seventh street
and Ninth street structures will be
taken up. while In the case OF the
Fort Wayne Railroad bridge across
the Allegheny the river interests are
projected by an agreement, signed b,
the railroad, to raise that structure as
soon as the bridges below 1t are raised
There is scarcely railroad in the
country that will not be affected by
this decision. Three bridges along the
ohio-those at steubeuville, Bellairt
and Parkersburg- also will be brought
to the attention of the Secretary o
War.
Raising OF all bridges along the Aiie
gheny, the Mononganela, the Ohio ant
any other navigab1e streams in th,
country to such a height that the.
will not obstruct navigation, and the
widening of the channel spans, rest,
now absolutely with the Secretary 8

More About Whites Conduct.

pressed excitement due to the belief
that from some quarter surprise was

During the recess from Thursday
countless rumors had spread and to

gramme was going to happen. One OF
the stories published had to do with

that Stanford White was pursuing

and had sought, through Hattie Forsy.

Mrs. Thaw. She. however, resisted
his efforts in this direction.
Elevator Boy Talks.
This new witness is Geo. Poliack, a
former elevator boy at the San Jacinto
apartment house where Miss For.
sytae was living at the time. Pollacls
declared that Evelyn Thaw paid four
visits to Miss Forsythe's and that on
each occasion White appeared at the
San Jacirto. Only once, however. did
he see her. That was at party
which the former ereyator boy says
was attended by Maxine Elliott, five
other theatrical women and Evelyn
Thaw. White also was present. Mrs,
Thaw left before the others that night.
On the other occasion, Pollack as.
serts White was denied access to the
Forsythe rooms on the reply that sac
was not at home. He waited outside
the house. Evelyn was able to slip
out of side door and escape him.

when White discovered Miss Forsythe
had deceived him, he sent her to Cali

sent a bouquet to Evelyn Thaw tc

MAY SIT UNTIL MAY 16

Albany, April 30.-Wbile the As sembly adopted resolution fixing the time of the adjournment May 9, yet the probabilities are that the legisla- ture will not separate until the 18th. The reapportionment assumes i'm portance, and the members are dis posed to spend much time over it, so that it may even take until the 18th to come to a conclusion. It is re- garded as certain that Governor Hughes is not so much concerned about the manner in which the dis tricts were mapped out, to retain con trol of the Republican organization as he is that there shall be passed by the legislature a bill that will be con stitutional. It is the opinion of all observers of affairs ill the legislature that there will be thorough reap portionment.

WATERFOWL LAND
 LAND OFFICE CLOSED

WatertoWn, s. L., April 30.-The ! WatertoWn land office in this city
 closed today It had been practically known for some time that the office 1 would be closed. Practically all the vacant land within radius of hun 1 dred miles or so has been taken up, and, for the most part, titles thereto perfected through a proving up pro cess, so that it is now getting to be a tame business tbat the office has con ducted. There is much land yet to be acquired in the Aberdeen district, a large proportion of the entries not having been closed up so far as proof is concerned, and the greater part of the business remaining within the Watertown district was along the
 northeastern portion of the state in Roberts county on the Milwaukee sys- tenn, which is easier reached from Aberdeen than from Watertown. The
 business at Watertown has dWindled
 down so that the land officers found
 slim salaries, and in February they
 rendered their resignations, to take
 effect in the month of April. This
 seems to have been considered the op-
 portune time to close the Watertown
 office, in tbe opinion of the commits
 sioners of the general land office The
 archives of ,ne office will be removed
 to Aberdeen on the 1st of May.
