Josef Meridith Rosencrantz a violinist. who
is on his way to Europe to complete his

room showed that that apartment is excel
lently adapted for concert performances.

CLEVELAND WON SUIT
SUPREME COURTS DECISION A
KNOCKOUT FOR LOW FARES.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 4.-The supreme
of Cleveland against William Reynolds, the
decision being a victory for the Cleveland
Consolidated Railways Company and blow
at low fares. The case was brought in the
circuit court of Cuyahoga county and in
volved the validity of the street car fran
chises on Erie street and Central avenue.
The circuit court upheld the validity of the
franchises on the Consolidated Railways
Company, and the supreme court sustained
the circuit court, thus knocking out the low
fare franchises.
Lower Court Decisions Were Affirmed.
CLEVELAND. Ohio, June 4.-The city
council of Cleveland, on January IL. 1904,
passed an ordinance renewing to the Forest
City Railway Company known locally as
the Scent fare line. the grants Of the Cleve-
land Electric Railway Company on Erie
street, Central and Quincy avenues. the
grants to the old company having expired.
On January 10, 1905, Reynolds began suit
to enjoin the enjoyment by the Forest City
company of the renewed grants on the
ground that the council had no right to
make such renewal to new company,
and also on the ground that the making
of the grant amounted to an attempt to
take the property Of the Cleveland Electric
Company without due process of law.
Judge Lawrence of the common pleas
court held for Reynolds, and declared the
renewed grant to be invalid on the ground
that the council had no right to make 1t,
and also that 1t would amount to confisca-
ton of property. The circuit court decided
the same way, and both these decisions are
affirmed by the supreme court.

ALARM AMONG THE DEALERS
BELIEF THAT MEAT WILL AD-
VANCE IN PRICE.
Small Operators May Be Forced Out
Of Business-The Reasons
Assigned.

Some Of the local dealers are alarmed
over the condition of the meat market as
stated In yesterdays STAR and the beilef
was expressed at the Center market this
afternoon that some OF the smaller dealers
will be driven out of business unless relief
comes in the near future. The increase of
about cents g. pound on choice stock, and
from to ~ cents on frozen meats during
the past week, 1t is expected, will be fol-
lowed by another increase in the near fu-
ture Asked to give the cause Of the pres
ent difficulty in the meat market, local
dealer said 1t was due entirely to the en-
forcement of the provisions of the pure
food law.
1t is stated that the western dealers are
not killing many cattle as usual. One
wholesale dealer said this afternoon that
about 5 per cent of the cattle killed are
condemned. and the large percentage Of
condemnations makes it necessary to in
crease the price upon the stock that Is Sold
Heretofore, he stated, the losses have fallen
upon those who do the killing. the stock
raisers being unwilling to give guarantee
with the live cattle they SELL Until this
trouble is overcome. he said, meat is going
to be scarce and high.
Few Are Pessimistic.
There are only few dealers who seem to
believe that a meat famine is threatened
Most of the dealers say they can get what
they want if they are willing to pay the
prices asked by the western shippers. One
dealer said he thought there was not much
reason for the dealers to be so greatly
alarmed Corn-fed meat always commands
big prices at this season of the year. he
said. and it is true that it is a little higher
this year than formerly. He said he was
willing to admit that the pure-food law
had caused the trouble. and he was also
willing to admit that a better class of meat
is being received.
Dealers say that there is not SO much
canned goods on the market formerly
the high prices that are being paid for the
meat meaning better profits than the can
ned goods will net.

OBJECTIONS ARE FILED.
Merchants Oppose Trees on Pennsyl
vania Avenue.

1t is said the proposition of the Com
missiOners to plant several hundred trees
along the curbings on Pennsylvania avenue
does not meet with the approval Of the
many business men and merchants of the
District and that in the face of this strong
objection the scheme will be abandoned.
The merchants along the avenue contend
that the placing of trees in front of their
stores, thereby hiding their displays and ad
vertisements from public view, will be a
hardship and financial loss. and the bust
ness men say Pennsylvania avenue Is
purely business street, and should remain
SO. and that trees are not in place on such
streets.
1t is also pointed out that line of trees
on the avenue would be very irregular. be-
cause of numerous Instructions, and also
because of the vaults under the sidewalks.
