That our American Forests abound in
plants which possess the most valuable
medicinal virtues is abpndantly attested
by scores of the most eminent medical
writers and teachers. Even the untu-
tored Indians had discovered the useful
ness of many native plants before the
advent of the white race. This informa-
tion, impaired freely to the whites, led
the latter to continue investigations until
to-day we have rich assortment of most
valuable American medicinal roots.

One point that is said by friends OF the

NO INJUNCTION
AGAINST COMING
THRO' THE RYE"

Judge Tanner today heard and denied
the petition of Author George V. Hobart
for an Injunction against VIII ]. Block
20 restrain the production of the musi-
cal comedy. Coming Thro' the Rye" at
the Providence opera House this after
noon and evening. Mr.. Hobart says that
on Nov. IL, 1896. he gave Block the ex-
elusive right to produce the brilliant COM
edy in the United States and Canada and
royalties of per cent on gross receipts
In Boston the week OF May ~. 1907. the
gross receipts of the comedy were S72S2.
and the gross receipts for week OF May
4 at Boston were s642S. and the production
has been playing at the Opera House the
past two weeks.
The royalties. according to Author Ho-
part hgure $o4S.40 up TO the Providence
engagement Mr.. Block claims that by a
new agreement made by Mr.. Hobart with
the w. j. Block Amusement company.
royalties have been reduced to 3 per cent.
Mr.. Hobart gave Mr.. Block notice un-
der provisions made in the contract not
to present the comedy after May IL.
Treasurer Wendelschaefer of the Prov
idence Opera House testified that the
house was practically all sold for this
afternoon and evening. AS the damage
shown will not exceed $3.50. Judge Tan
ner thought the giving OF a bond might
fully protect the complainant. but the cir
cumstances did not warrant the severe
remedy of an injunction.

Gamma represented w. j. Block.

HELD IN $4,000
FOR ASSAULT
With A PISTOL

Tomassi Minicucci, In the district
court this morning pleaded not guilty to
assaulting Giuseppe Ferri with a danger
Gus weapon and was held in $4,000 bail
for trial on the Ath.
The alleged assault was the result OF a
brawl in the saloon at 40 knight street at
IL o'clock last night during which Ferri.
who is also known as Lemastre. was stab
bed in the abdomen with st!letto. ana
was shot in the right arm.
The story OF the brawl is that Minicucci
tried to drag Ferri from the saloon. They
went out quarrelling. and when they
reached the street Ferri is said to have
slashed Minicucci twice across the arms
Mincucci ran toward Cedar street going
down Dale street, as he said, TO get cut ~
the way OF Ferri, who was following him.
The latter soon turned and went back to
Atwells avenue, and then Miuicucci be-
came the pursuer, and, holding q club In
his hand. chased Ferri to Cedar street
Here, II is alleged, Ferri started for his
home, lat "a Crout street, while Minicucci
ran into the saloon OF the older man by
the same name and got revolver. He
then cornered Ferri on Crout street, ac-
cording TO witnesses. and fired five shots
from the revolver, one of which took ef-
feet II is supposed that he also did the
stabbing at this time, although no one
saw him. The handle OF the sti,etto used
in the encounter was found In young
Minicuccis pocket at the station.

ment, that any charge against these de-
PENDANTS was under consideration by the
grand jury when they were called on TO
testify; on the contrary, II seems to me
quite as reasonable to suppose that no
such charge was then being considered,
as the grand jury is stated to have been
called to investigate certain alleged vio-
lations Of the law.
A careful study OF the case, with the
assistance OF the very thorough briefs
furnished by the counsel, has satisfied
me that both upon principle and upon
the great weight OF authority, the pleas
In abatement do not set forth any cause
for the quashing OF the indictment"
RECORD OF TESTIMONY.
One plea alleged that the Indictment
was bad, because the official stenogra-
pher had another person transcribe his
record OF the testimony before the grand
jury The court treats this question as
follows:
I'm this state. by virtue OF an act pass
ed Feb. OF the current year, the pres
ence OF the stenographer is expressly au-
thorzed and as It does not appear In the
plea that the Justice who assigned the
stenographer was not the presiding JUS
tice, the course pursued seems TO have
been in exact accordance with the provi-
sions OF that act
1.-THE act in question provides that the
stenographer shall transcribe such testi-
mony as the attorney general shall direct

this does not require the stenographer to
transcribe the testimony with his own
hand, but permits him to procure IL 10 be

WILL HAVE LITTLE
EFFECT ON RIVER
AND HARb0R WORK

Washington, May lS.--From such in
formation as has reached him in re-
gard TO the decision OF the supreme
court OF the United Etates last Mon
day In the matter OF the Eastern
Dredging company versus the United
States, Secretary TAFT has concluded
that IL select on the rivers and har-
Dor works no win progress will be
much less than was al first expected.
The decision closely follows the rule
recently adopted by the department for
the regulation ofNwork on dredges.
which prescribes the strict application
of the eight hour law to all workers
on dredges that are towed about from
place to place. but place in the cate
CORY of solemn" the employees on
dredge boats which move by their own
power and the crews OF tugboats which
haul dredges without propelling ma
chinery. BY far the greater number
of dredges employed in river and har-
bor work, however. are without pro-
pelling machinery of their own, so that
greater part of the workers.
