DECLINE TO APPROVE BILL.
Commissioners Object to Maintain
ing Railway Tracks to Navy Yard.

ing halfway 1r6cKS TO navy 7 ard.
The authorities of the navy yard in
Southeast Washington desire TO have the
Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washing
ton Railroad Company maintain the
track it operates in connection with
the navy yard. Rear Admiral Leutze,
commandment of the navy yard, has
drafted a bill authorizing and requir-
ing the maintenance and operation of
the railroad track on the street for an
indefinite period of time, which he re-
ferred to the Commissioners several
days ago for their consideration before
having it introduced in Congress.
This measure provides that the con-
nection with the navy yard he main
tanned by means of single track on
K street and Canal street southeast,
either as at present located or as the
same may be hereafter relocated, in
whole or in part. with the approval Of
the District Commissioners, and to con-
tinue the operation thereof as the BUSH
ness of the United States may require,
AS the draft does not definitely ter
inmate the time during which trains
may be operated over the present
switches and tracks, the Commissioners
have declined to give their approval
miral Leutze to this effect in a letter
today the Commissioners suggested
that the time for maintaining this
track should not be extended longer
than is necessary to enable the navy
yard to obtain it's service along some
route which should be specified.
The Commissioners concluded by say
ing: IF the present legislation in this
matter is to be changed by extending
the time during which trains may be
operated over the X street switch with
out providing for an entrance into the
navy yard free of grade crossings the
Commissioners must insist that the ex-
tension be for a definite and not I'M
reasonable period of time"

that by committing the murder he

POLLOCK TAKES HAND,
Enjoins Kansas City OficiaIs From
Interfering With Beer Deliveries.

Kansas City, Mo-, May 17.-Judge
Pollock of the United States district
court, sitting in Kansas City, yester-
day granted a temporary injunction
against Assistant Attorney General C.
w. Trickett, Sheriff J. E. Porter. N. "
Refcheneker, agent for the supreme
court receivers; Ralph Nelson, city at
torney; Dave Bowden. chief of police,
all of Kansas City, Kan, restraining
them from further interfering with
the delivery of beer in that city.
The suit was filed by Attorneys A.
L. Berger and Clifford Histed. repre-
senting the Kansas City Breweries
company. The case is set for hearing
in Topeka on Thursday, May %. IN
the meantime the Wyandotte county
beer to the family trade in Kansas
CITY, kan, or take chance of being
called before the federal court for
contempt.
The action brought yesterday in the
United States court was under the in
terstate commerce law and to protect
delivery wagons from seizure by the
assistant attorney general and his
agents.
When the Kansas supreme court
appointed receivers to take charge of
all the brewery property in the state
the Kansas City brewers stopped de-
livering beer, even to the family trade
in Kansas City, Kan, in their own
wagons. This move was made out of
q fear that their teams and wagons
might be seized by the agent for the
receivers. A transfer company was
organized under the name of the In
terstate Transfer company for the
purpose of making the Kansas de-
Hveries. Other individual transfer
teams were also employed for this
traffic. The orders for the beer were
taken in this city and filed and then
sent to the Kansas side in transfer
wagons. This the brewing companies
declare is authorized under the inter-
state commerce law. However, forYthe
eral Trickett and Agent Reicheneker,
for the supreme court receivers, have
been. causing the arrest of all trans
fer wagon drivers who have delivered
beer to the family trade in Kansas,
also attaching the stocks of beer
hauled by them.
The beer has been taken in charge
by the sheriff, the teams and wagons
being held by Agent Reicheneker
under the supreme court order. The
drivers of these wagons have been
compelled to put I'D a $3.50 bond each
in order to keep from being locked up
in the county JAIL 4
The attorneys for the brewing COM
panies claim that the wyandotte
county authorities have overstepped
their authority in selling individual
transfer wagons which had been hired
to deliver goods from one state to an
other under the interstate commerce
law. The hearing of the injunction on
May % will be- watched with much
interest. as it will determine whether
or not the Kansas City breweries can
deliver beer to Kansas City, Kan

primary by which Democrats can vote

Anthony Is Working Hard.
D. R. Anthony, candidate for con-

Mr.. Anthony is being opposed for con-

Kingsleys battle for him. Six social

said today:
''While 1 do not anticipate that
there will be enough Socialist votes

going to be a big Republican vote, and
l realize that everybody opposed to me

Caldwell was himself mentioned early
in the game as a possible candidate
for chairman of the committee, but
his candidacy died of neglect.
Caldwell's election would have been
a good thing for the Square Dealers,
because Caldwell's attitude in the
senate lined him UP solidly with the
corporate interests. 1t would have
stamped Corporation in big letters
on the Republican party to have
elected Caldwell chairman.
