COURTS REFUSE
INJUNCTION WRIT
Rival Candidates for Presidency
Of Railway Mail Clerks
Involved.
SAY ELECTION FRAUDULENT
The Contest Goes Back to Or
ganization for Settlement
by 1t.
ny WALTER EDWARD HARRIS.


WASHINGTON, D. G.. August Ia
A suit for an Injunction, instituted by
ivan v. Yonce against Frank d. Gavin.
was heard in the Washington courts
day. Yonce and Gavin were both
candidates for the presidency of the
third division of the Railway Mail AS
ISOLATION of the United States, which
embraces the majority OF the railway
postal clerks In Virginia. Tennessee,
and North Carolina.
On the 10th OF June an election was
held to select the officers OF the divis-
lon for the ensuing year. Mr.. Gavin
was the president. and presided over
the meeting. When the votes were be-
ing counted, he and his friends charged
that fraud had been committed, and,
without adjourning the meeting
walked out. taking the ballots along
with them. They then Investigated the
matter through committee appointed
by President Gavin, and decided that
such frauds had been committed as to
justify the calling of another election.
This they proceeded to do.
The Yonce people, after efforts to
ton under auspices that could not be
questioned. went into court and asked
that the election called by Mr.. Gavin
be restrained by Injunction proceed
ings. and another conducted under
constitutional regulations be substi-
tuted. The court issued rule against
Gavin returnable to-day. After the
whole matter had been heard the
court held that it was not justified in
interfering with the election called by
Mr. Gavin by writ of injunction, and
therefore refused to grant 1t.
The Yonce people declare that two
thirds of the vote In the first election
was cast for Yonce, but that many of
his supporters, or at least the large
majority of them, will not vote in the
election called by Gavin. The ballots
in this election will be counted to-
morrow.
The Yonce people declare that they
will now carryitthe case to the annual
convention OF the National Associa-
ton. which meets at Fort Worth in
October.

TELLS OF VARTANIAN MURDER

NEW YORK, August 13.-According
TO an announcement by District Attor
ney Jerome and Deputy Police Com
missioner Woods early this morning
the detective bureau have arrested the
ringleaders Of the Huncharkist Secret
Society and had obtained confessions
from them which will end the exist
ence Of the organization.
kassak Jelalian, arrosed Sunday
night, confessed to Mr.. Jerome last
night, the police say. after a grueling
examination which lasted for more
than six hours, that Il was he and no
other who had directed the murders OF
Father Kasper Vartanian, whose body
was cut to pieces, and the wealthy rug
merchant, Tavshanjian. killed as he
was entering his office near Union
Square.
He Furthermore declared, it is said,
that he had stood by while Bedros
Hampzoonian waited for the coming
of the victim and pointed out the
doomed man.
1t is given out by Detective Pctro-
sino, who has had the actual investiga-
lon In charge, that Father Martou-
gessian, who has been under arrest in
connection with the murderers, is not
directly connected with the society
though he is still believed to have
known great deal of its inner work
ngs.
Lieutenant Petrosino. of the New
York Detective Department., recently
encountered In Boston an Armenian
named Manoojian, who offered his SER
vices Manoojian furnished .informa-
ton enabling Petrosino to send wire
to this city that resulted in the arrest
of Borhas Alliepunerjian. The police
searched the building where he lived,
and In the cellar under a coal heap
protected by boards they found a num-
Der of poisoned daggers. several small
bombs, a quantity of poisoned bullets,
revolvers and number of large
bombs Of, hydrocyanic acid and sui
phate of ammonia, as well as chem
lists scales, bullets moulds and electric

man broke down and confessed. He
confirmed the police say, what they
had already suspected, that Kassal1
Jelalian was the head and front of the
society. Several other arrests We're
made during the afternoon by detec-
tives. The police believe that withtthe
exception of a few sunimportant men,
bers now fugtves, the principal men,

Investigate Report of Issue Of Short
Weiuht Gold Pieces.

Denver, April 15.-On account of the
return of a recent shipment of gold
coin to New York bank from London
the annual settlement in the Denver
mint has been undertaken four months
earlier than usual, according to To-
cal paper.
1t is reported that the mint here has
been issuing light coins for number
OF months. Benjamin F. Butler, COM
puter of the United States mint; Frank
P. Dewey. assayer of the mint bureau
at Washington, and Jacob B. Eckfeldt
assayer of the Philadelphia mint, are
the expert metallurgists who are TAX
ing the inventory of the Denver mint
and preparing to start it with a clean
bill of books for another year.
Thus far there has been no charge
of crookedness in the rimors of light
coins being sent out, and il is admit
ted that the difference in weight might
be due to defects in the mechanism of
the new machinery or carelessness as
we'll as to deliberate intention.

OVATION TO VETERAN SINGER
Old Time Musicians to Celebrate 10Th
Birthday of j. Hubbard.

Chicago, April 17.-Old-time musi-
clans are preparing to give an ovation
to Jules Hubbard tomorrow afternoon,
when this veteran singer, assisted by
John NJ. Hubbard and others known to
the older generation of music lovers
in Chicago, will appear in a concert at
the Illinois theater. Manager Davis, OF
the theater, has arranged the concert,
and the day is the 18th anniversary OF
the birth of Mr.. Hubbard.
There are many who still recall the
civil war days when Mr.. Hubbard sang
martial songs and reused enthusiasm
among the recruiting northern vclun-
geers. He has promised to sing co ne
of these again tomorrow. Assistant
Postmaster Hubbard will assist him.
and others who have places on the
program will join in making the day a
red-letter one for the past as we'll as
the present generation. Years have
failed to affect the melody Of those old
singers voices. Mr.. Lumbard occa-
sionally plays and sings for his friends
and the public appearance here to-
morrow will probably be his farewell.
Manager Davis of the Illinois theater,
an. old friend of the war singer, has
given the use of the playhouse and has
charge of the arrangements for the

excellent demand if such were avail


able.
1T is certainly not so much case OF
price as it is TO get the sheep, re-
marked a buyer.
Indications are that any big runs
from now on will come from far-away
territory Mondays official count was
1910. and it is possible that South
Dakota and Iowa will be able to dig up
another such run. Shippers bought
1890 yesterday and We're largely re-
sponsible for the excellent condition OF
the market
There is every indication of good
supply of hogs IN the country re-
marked Frank BiNby. who has charge
of the hog buying for Swift & Come
pany Il have never seen the quality
of hogs better for this season of the
year, and remarkably few light hogs
and pigs are coming. 1t is evident
that the country has faith in the fu-
ture market and is holding the light
WEIGHTS back for heavier average. Pre-
vailing market prices for both hogs
ana corn warrant producers in follow :
ing this policy, as they are getting big
money for their corn by marketing 1t
in the way of fat hogs
Lately too many have been favorihg
the Monday market under the delusion
that the first day Of the week is the
best, but facts have shown the fallacy
of this notion. SO congested have been
the receipts at the first of the week
that some of the big eastern shippers
have been compelled 10 buy their cat
tie and hold them till Friday. This, of
course. means considerable expense,
and naturally an effort is made to get
the cattle low enough to pay for 1t.
If the surplus received on Monday
could be distributed on Thursday and
Friday nine times out of ten better
prices could be secured and all hands
would be better satisfied.
| Local buyers went after the fresh
supply of stockers and feeders Tuesday
as if they needed them. Monday
they bought freely and got pretty
big supply on hand, but they were able
to dispose of many of them, and there
! fore they We're out after all they could
| find. Prices We're strong and most of
| the dealers declared that they had to
| pay 10M 15c more than late last week.
They put up the price on the country
dealer accordingly, and SO sales of good
feeders today We're at the high level
of the year There We're good many
cattle of high quality and suitable
weights that sold at s4.S5@5 and sew
eral loads changed hands at s505.10.
Country demand was strong again,
particularly from the east and the
volume of business was quite large.
| The chief demand is for the top-notch
material tho this class of cattle is hard
! to get on account of the competition
from killers who are strong buyers for
the light weight steers.
