INCENDIARISM SUSPECTED
Threatening Blaze on White Star
Liner Oceanic,

New York, June The fire on the
White Star steamer Oceanic, which
was discovered in the steerage shortly
after l a. NJ, was not brought under
control for two hours. The fire start
ed among the steerage berths and
proved to be a hot blaze The crew
was called to quarters and did what it
could to eXtinguish the flames, but
when they spread to the cargo out
side aid had to be called In the after
hold were 1877 barrels of glucose,
which burned like oil, and that part of
the cargo was soon entirely afiame.
1t was below the water line and there
was nothing spectacular about the
blaze. The crew closed the after COM
partments and then the -firemen
drowned out the flames.
All the bedding and other perishable
fittings of the steerage were destroyed,
in addition to a quantity of freight
Among the cargo was some theatrical
scenery belonging to Forbes Robert
son, who recently left for England
after a successful season in America,
and this is said to- have been burned
or damaged.
The origin of the fire is unknown,
but suspicion was prevalent on the
dock that it was the result Of incen-
diarism.

Boise, Ida, June The jury which
will try William D. Haywood for the
alleged murder of Governor Steunen-

the jury. Alfred Eoff, capitalist, quail

The jury took the final oath at 1910
and the court took a recess until 3
o'clock, when the indictment was read
to them.
Haywood had completely recovered
from his recent illness when the hour
for resuming his trial was reached.
When Judge Wood took his seat on
the bench the defendant was in his
accustomed place, but not one of his
many attorneys actively participating
in the case was present. There was
wait of several minutes before they
arrived. The inference was that the
attorneys had been engaged in con-
ference of more or less Importance.

BLOW TO Low FARES
Cleveland Three=Cent Line Loses
Franchises by Decision.
OHIO SUPREME COURT ACTS


Council Renewing to the New Com.

Cleveland Electric Company.
Columbus, O., June 5.-The supreme
court, in decision in the suit Of the
city of Cleveland against William
Reynolds, gave great victory for the
Cleveland Consolidated Railway COM
pany and blow at low fares. The
case was brought in the circuit court
of Cuyahoga county and involved the
validity of the street car franchises
on Erie and Central avenues. The
circuit court upheld the validity of the
franchise of the Consolidated Rail-
ways company and the supreme court
sustained the circuit court, thus knock
ing out the low fare franchise.
Cleveland, June 5.-The city council
of Cleveland on Jan. II, 1904, passed
an ordinance renewing to the Forest
City Railway company, known locally
as the Scent fare line, the grants of
the Cleveland Electric Railway COM
pany on Erie street, Central and
Quincy avenues, the grants to the old
company having expired. On Jan. 10,
1905, Reynolds began suit to enjoin
the enjoyment by the Forest City
company of renewed grants on the
ground that the council had no right
to make such a renewal to a 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.
