BRAZIL DENIES
She's A THIRD
CLASS POWER

Rio Janeiro, Aug. 23,-An Official recital
Of the position OF Brazil in the matter
of the proposed organization of perma-
nent court of arbitration at The Hague
has been made public. 1t is asserted that
Brazil did not insist at The Hague peace
conference upon a superior position IN
the Anglo German American project for
the organization OF a new and permanent
court OF arbitration.
She pronounced herself as against the
creation OF such court as an utterly
useless step. insomuch as there exists al
ready at The Hague a permanent court
of arbitration, created by the convention
OF 1899.
II the other project, establishing per-
ranent Judges only for the six great mil
itary powers OF Europe, the United states
and Japan, and temporary judges for the
other states, classified on a scale OF i'm
portance absolutely arbitrary and unjust.
is adopted Brazil will not sign the con-
vention. Brazil will content herself with
the court OF arbitration already in exist
ence and she will not ngure in an interna-
tional act as power OF the third class.

Annapolis. Md. Aug. 23.--The recent
report to the naval authorities on con-
ditions SURROUNDING candidates for the
naval academy and midshipmen while
in Annapolis. was the subject OF con-
ference between Mayor Gordon f.
Claude of Annapolis and Supt. c. j.
Badger OF the academy yesterday.
Plans were then made for a closer co.
operation between the naval and the
city authorities in an effort to break
up certain practices.
Capt. Badger said that certain places
in Annapolis were understood to per-
NIT the sale OF liquor to midshipmen
as well as candidates. or to allow these
youths to rent rooms and send out for
such liquid refreshments as they de-
sired. The authorities will work to-
gether in an effort to break up this
habit.
Another topic of the conference was
the "after-theatre" parties given by
midshipmen and candidates. which
were attended by female members of
the chorus of certain theatrical COM
panies. The academy and municipal
officials will unite in efforts to break
up this practice.

prominent members of the summer col

was expected was that between r. II.

Harvard expert This match was played
on the exhibition court and was followed
closely by the large contingent In the
grand stand.
Another contest that promised close
competition was that between Charles

scored straight victories In their matches
yesterday. VIII A. Larned, who is looked
upon as the most likely challenger, met
c. e. Sands. and although the former

JUDGE BAKER GRANTS
PRAYER FOR INJUNCTION

Judge Baker has granted the prayer OF
complainants for en- injunction in the
case OF Francesca Ruggiero ct al VS.. An
tonic Pezzuca- In a rescript handed down
Judge Baker says: Upon the evidence
submitted and pending hearing upon
the bill and answer when IL shall come
In. I am OF the opinion that the complain
ants are not entitled TO have the respon-
dent absolutely enjoined from carrying
on the business OF slaughtering animals
The business appears TO be smail one,
and it does not clearly appear tnat ~
cannot be carried on under sucn conui :
tions as not 10 reasonably annoy or OF
fend the complainants.
81 think, however, that such case nds
been made that the complainants are en-
titled to relief by way OF an injunction
from annoyance arising from cries ana
noises made by animals while being
slaughered. especially In the night time,
and from the noxious vapers ana toul
smells arising from the failure 70 properly
care for and dispose OF the blood. entrails
and other refuse OF said slaughtered an.
Imals. and from failure 10 keep said
slaughter house thoroughly clean and dis
infected"
Antonio A. Capotosto was the attorney
for the Ruggieros and in his endeavors TO
have the slaughtering OF cattle regulated
at defendants place had the opposition
Of the town authorities of Cranston. At
least the council refused TO act and pub
lie officials Of the town were called as
witnesses for Pezucca.

NIPPED IN bud
BY DETECTIVES

New York. Aug. 23.-Being susceptible,
Samuel Kountz, salesman. ventured to
introduce himself to Miss May Brown, on
Sixth avenue. yesterday afternoon. and
Miss Brown coyly consented to take some
refreshment with him in cafe at Twen-
y-ninth street. Unluckily. as IT proved
for Miss Brown. Leutenants Donohue
and Butts of the Central office. were
prowling around and saw her add one to
her acquaintances. Miss Brown calls hsr-
self manicure; the detectives are rude
enough to say that, so far from polishing
nails, she and her male accomplices pol
ish of victims at the panel game"
They knew Miss Brown lived on tho
second floor OF No. 119 West Twenty
sixth street, so while she and Mr. kountz
were refreshing themselves Dononua a,d
Butts went there. Butts waited on The
fourth floor of the house. which Is va
cant. Pretty soon Miss Brown and the
fascinated Mr.. Kountz entered ner apart
ment. Then Donohue saw Marshal! Scho-
field, clad only in pajamas leave the
apartment on the third floor. uptoc down-
stairs and go in Miss Mays room5 by
the door which she and kountz had en-
tered. Only a few minutes moro passed
when Alfred Schofeld came quickly up
sairs from the street and went in the
same door leaving II ajar. Ito make a
quick getaway" the detectives say.
Then Donohue came from his hiding
place. the stairs creaked under him; AL
fred Schofield darted from the rooms and
downstairs. Only to warn Butts, Dono-
hue swears he fired his revolver. The
bullet went so wild" that IL struck the
fleeing Sohofeld in the neck, wounding
him slightly. Having been warned, Butts
grabbed him at the front door.
'IIe got me that time" exclaimed Scho'
field. rubbing his neck. which New
York hospital surgeon soon patched Up.
The shrinking Miss May. the two oLho-
fields and the dlsillusioned Mr. kountz
were taken to police headquarters; M:
Kountz gratefully discovered he still had
500 in his pocket, and will appear against
the three in the Tombs police court They
were locked up charged with attempted
grand larceny. The detectives say all
are notorious panel game" operators
and that pictures OF the Schohelds are IN

Demurrer Overruled

The demurrer of the New York. New

to the declaration of the plaintiff In
the case brought against IL by Fred
erick Brown, a minor. has been over
ruled as to certain counts by Judge
Baker. Plaintiff. a child eight years
old, was riding in wagon with one
Matthew Walsh when the wagon was
struck by a train at n crossing In
Pawtucket.
Judge Baker seems to think that In
the case stated the driver of the wagon
was guilty OF negligence, but re-
fuses, as a matter OF law. TO find the
plaintiff guilty of negligence, and
overrules the demurrers on that
ground and also on the ground of
duplicity. His honor does not think
II necessary in this case to state Just
In what particular the defendant was
negligent. but is of the opinion that
IL was not the duty OF the railroad
company TO the plaintiff to run its
train at reduced speed or TO bring II

again In the next day. when the wind
springs up.
