SHALL CHURCH STAND
FOR ATTORNEY FEE?

The question as to whether or
not the entire congregation of the
Calvary Baptist church shall stand
the expenses of part of the flock
for attorney hire In a factional
fight against the other part is to
be decided today by jury in
Judge Huneke's court. The matter
Is on appeal from the justice court
where Samuel T. Crane, the attor-
ney and plaintiff, won out.
The suit is the second chapter In
the bitter contention which arose
among the brethren of the church
last winter when certain members
of the flock secured an injunction
against the rest of the congrega-
ton to prevent them from dispos-
ing of part of the church property.
The suit was successful but the
attorneys clients were in the
minority and unable to vote pay
ment of the expenses. The amount
sued for is $50.

BOND GRAB

COLUMBUS, o, Sept. sl7.-Suit
was filed by Attorney General Ellis
in circuit court here today to re-
cover for the state SS,0O0,O00 worth
of canal lands in Cleveland now &C.
cupied by the Cleveland & Valley
Railroad Co. and the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad Co.
This is the old canal land granted
by the state by act of April 20,
1872, to Cleveland for street pur-
poses, and later turned over by the
city to Pennsylvania and B. & O.
interests.
1t consists of a strip of the then
existing canal 1900 feet long, ex-
tending from where the canal en-
tered the Cuyahoga river. south, in
Guiding the full width of the canal,
together with the. old basin and
towpath.
1t is claimed in this suit that the
grant of Cleveland was but the us
ing of the city as catspaw by the
canal grabbers.
The petition asks that the rail
roads named as defendants be GUST
ed from the property and that its
title may revert to the state. 1t
alleges that the city has never &C.
cupied the canal coded for public
highway purposes and had con
tract with the Valley railroad for
turning the land over to it before it
had been coded to the city by the
state.
1t is contended that the city has
abandoned and forfeited the right
to use the land under the grant and
the property should revert to the
/ state
The validity of the lease made by
the city to the railroads is attacked.
1t is asked that the railroad com
panies be ousted from the property.

VECETARIANS
BREAK FIRM

CHICAGO, Sept 17.-Officials of
A. Booth & Co. the big fresh fish
corporation that practically con
trolled the fish and oyster business
in the central states, claim that the
company's failure is due to an eff.
fort to gobble up its remaining com
petitors, in which move it was de-
feated after spending the proceeds
of a S1,000,000 bond issue negoti
ated last fall. The growth of vege
tarianism among the people since
the hard times began also helped
in the company's downfall.
1t is thought that the Chiago
banks that were hit hard by the
Booth failure will aid it in getting
on its feet. Packers in the Pacific
northwest were heavy losers also

PUT QUEEN in
TIGHT CORNER

ROME, Sept. 17.--That Queen
Margherita made tactical blunder
in denunciation of the proposed
marriage of Duke Abruzzi and Miss
Elkins, and in the intimation that
the duke is in the class of titled
European fortune hunters, was ad.
mitted today by both advocates
and opponents of the marriage.
Realizing that the duke was not to
be dissuaded from his purpose, the
queen erred, court circles say, in
driving the dukes family into open
resentment by vehement rejection
of the plea of Count Turin, who
came to her as an emissary from
his brother, seeking to win the
queens consent.

taken in William Abels ambulance.
They had nothing to keep them

They would stick together, and go
wherever their fancy led them.
To America they came first and
moved west by easy stages. They
would work in one place only so
long as to make enough to take
them farther on.
Their last stay was in Buffalo.
They set out for Fl. Wayne, Ind.
They were beating their way to
Cleveland when a brakeman put
them off at East One Hundred and
Fifth street.
They set out on foot along the
tracks into town. AT East Thirty
eighth street they stepped off the
track of an approaching passenger
train, and the locomotive running
light on another track in the oppo-
site direction hit them.

than a few small breaks in the top
