Bic FIGHT IS NOW
IN SIGHT It SEEMS
Indiana Manufacturers and
Shippers Association Is
Ready for War.
RAILROADS ARE "IN BAD"
SHIPPERS ARE LOOKING FOR Al
MAN WITH A GRIEVANCE TOT
CARRY THE WAR INTO AFRICA
LATITUDE OF RAILROADS.

Indianapolis, Oct. 16.-The Indiana
Manufacturers and Shippers associa-
ton. including in its membership prac-
tically all the big manufacturers of the
state. is looking for trouble. 1t is
seeking a member with grievance
that it may take up the grievance and
thereby start something with the rail
roads. The association wishes to be-
NOme the aggressor in a healthy fight.
N this way. it is thought, certain re-
forms may be brought about, for the
association is confident that it will be
victor in any trouble that may be start
ed by it.
For months and months shippers in
Indiana have been greatly inconven-
fenced by delay of shipments in inter
state traffic, over which the railroad
commission has no control. Relief
seems impossible under existing rules
and statutes. Every time a shipper
complains he is met by the retort from
lie railroads We'll. if you are dam
aged, why don't you look to the courts
for redress:" This retort has been
made SO frequently and so insolently
the shippers think, that they are now
seeking an opportunity to appeal to
the courts.
To do this the association of ship
ers wishes to take up the complaint OF
some member who has suffered. Spe
cific instances of delay causing incon.
venience and annoyance are being ask
ed for. These cases when they are sub
mitted, will be gone over by the attor-
ney for the association, and the best
ones selected on which to base suits.

At Jersitz Prussia, where battal-
ion OF infantry is stationed, one of the
men had visited a restaurant in town
and not only departed without pay
ment but also took a purse from the
bar maid who served him. The young
woman complained to the commander,
who had the battalion paraded. and N
his company she passed down the line
scanning each face intently. The men
under the impression that they were
being inspected by a princess at last,
stood rigidly at attention. Their sur
prise was great when she stopped in
front of a soldier and exclaimed in 2
pronounced Berlin dialect That is
the thief" The man was at once
marched off in custody.

Judge Beiden Refuses To Allow
Demurrer in Suit of Elizabeth
St. Property Owners
COURT HAS JURISDICTION
Opinion Comes as Set Back to Railway
Company and May Delay Work
of Making the Connections
With Extensions

The people of Elizabeth street won
first blood in the contest with the Ke-
nosha Electric Railway company over
the laying of double tracks on the
street, as Tuesday Judge Belden
filed with the clerk of the Circuit
Court an opinion in which he over
rules the demurrer of the defendant
company and holds that the Circuit
Court has jurisdiction to try the is
sues raised by the people against the
company. The decision comes as a
surprise to many people who have
watched the case and it will proba bly,
act as delay for the company, as the
injunction preventing theE use of the
double track on Elizabeth street will
be in force until the suit is heard IN
court. It is possible that the railway
company will go to the Supreme
Court with the case in its present
stage and if this action is taken it
will be some time before a decision
can be secured. In overruling the
demurrer of the defendant company
the opinion of the Court is short and
to the point. It SAYS:
"The general principle that 1egisla.
tive acts within the power of the 1egis.
lative body to pass are not subject to
revision or control by the court on the
grounds of inexpediency, injustices
or improperly, is too well settled to
be open for discussion.
''But this does not preclude the
courts..from making inquiry, upon sufi
cient allegations by competent parties
into the reasonableness of enactment
questioned, and of holding such acts
unauthorized invalid if they appear
wholly unreasonable.
IAN injunction is the appropriate
remedy to prevent the unauthorized
obstruction or closing up of a public
street at the suit of the adjacent LOT
owners who have sustained such spec.
ial injuries as to make them proper
parties plaintiff.
cit is we'll settled law in this state
that the obstruction which prevents
the lawful use of public street OF
highway, besides being public nuts
ance, is special injury to the ad
| jacent lot owners, and when such ar
obstruction is threatened they may
proceed in court of equity to pre-
vent it.
"The court is of the opinion that the
CONS plant shows the plaintiffs to be
proper parties plaintiff, that the com
plant states facts invoking the atten
ton and inquiry of court of equity
and that the court has jurisdiction
! thereof
"The demurrer to the amended com
plant must be overruled."

LATE MoNCURE D. CONWAY

DIR. Moncure D. Conway, whose
death Is announced in another col
ufhn, was a s55aof Mr.. Walker Pey-
ton Conway, so well and favorably
known to our older citizens, and was
born in Falmouth, Stafford county,
his boyhood days being spent there
and In FREDERICKSBURG. He received
his education in our best institutions
OF learning, and was one OF the most
cultured and literary men OF this or
the old country. He was an author
OF splendid abilities and his publca-
lions, whether historical, biographical
or ethical, were extensively read. He
was original in thought and being
endowed with a vigorous intellect,
his writings and lectures had fresh
ness and power that made themboth
Interesting and instructive. For the
last halt century Mr.. Conway spent
most OF his time in literary inyesti-
cations In New York, Boston, Lon
don and Paris, where he ranked with
the literati and held membership in
many clubs and societies composed
OF the advanced thinkers OF the day.

BRYAN HAS SPOKEN

And has said that he will not ask
for or seek nomination and that he
viii not assume to decide the ques-
ton OF his availability, but If he can
serve the party by being its candi-
date, he will accept the commission
and make the best fight he can; all
OF which means that Bryan, having
felt the pulse Of the present leaders
OF the Democratic party as at pres
emit constituted, is a candidate, and
1t means more than that. Bryan,
who Is an astute politician, is not
!. willing as yet to give up his hold
>pn the Democratic party. We will
,hayAin 1908 Bryan on one side and,
either-Rooseyelt, Hughes ,iisSr
Cannon as the candidate OF the G. o.
p, and 1t does not take a seer or
sage to prophesy or predict the re-
suit In advance. We don't fear the
result, for we anticipate it. So many
defeats of the Democratic party may
resultfnally in its decentralization, dis
Indignation and Generalization even
in the South.
