to the Supreme Court Of the District
of Columbia for an injunction against
George Prince. William l.. Hammerly
Alexis Toggas and A. b. Hendis to pre-
vent alterations being made to a portion
Of the premises.
Mr. Kaufman tells the court that Mr..
Prince was a subtenant and recently at
tempted to place in possession of a por-
ton Of the building William l.. Hammer
~ who intends to conduct a pool and
billiard room. Prince also attempted, he
says. to rent the hallway. over which he
had only the right of ingress and egress,
10 Alexis Toggas for a bootbiack shop.
Hendis is the builder who is making the
repairs. Mr.. Kaufman declares that I'M
der the terms of the lease to George Prince
the upper stories of the building were TO
be used only as a photograph gallery. and
says the attempted conversion Is vio-
lation of the terms of the lease.
Being without remedy at law to prevent
the proposed repairs, Mr.. Kaufman takes
recourse In the Equity Court. claiming tha
unless the defendants are enjoined. they
will work irreparable damage to his in
terests. Attorneys Arthur Peter and ]. J.
Darlington represent the petitioner.

MUST PLAY OFF THE GAME.
National League Board Decides Chi
cago-New York Contest.


Special Dispatch to The Star
CINCINNATI. October 6.-At the re-
sumption OF the meeting Of the three di-
rectors OF the National Base Ball League
today it was decided thai the protested
game between the Chicago and New York
team be declared tie, to be played off
If requested by the New York club.
AS unofi1cially given out the statement
was that as New York had been prevented
from playing off the tie game on the
days of the series with Chi
cage that team had been unable to play
that particular game through the failure
of an official OF the league.
The board was in session all night and
after a short rest this morning took up
the matter again. The three directors
look the evidence submitted yesterday
with them last night to consider the mat
ter separately.
The meeting was late in being called to
order today. Before the meeting 1t was
announced that no vote had been taken
on the matter before the board.
The three directors got together at
1890 o'clock and began the actual con-
sideration of the case behind closed doors
1t was then believed that decision could
be reached by noon.
Suggestions were upohctally made be-
fore the meeting that If the directors de-
cided that the game contested should be
declared tie that New York and Chi
cago play the game over again. 1t was
said that while this would be against Ma
tional League rules. which calls for three
games to be played If two clubs are tied
for the championship. it would pacify
the two sides to the controversy and pre-
vent the matter being taken to the civil
courts.

SULTAN WILL AVOID WAR
IS GROWING BELIEF IN PARIS

PARIS. October 6.-The hope that hos
tilities may be avoided in the Balkans is
growing in this city. The latest advices
received here from Constantnopie seem
to indicate that the porte for the moment
is not disposed to go further than formal
protest against Bulgaria's proclamation
Of independence.
Foreign Minister Pichon is continuing
his conference here. This morning he
talked with M. IswOlsky, the Russian
minister of foreign affairs, and NJ. STAN
cioff. the diplomatic agent of Bulgaria.
and this afternoon he will confer with the
British. Turkish, Italian and Spanish am
bassadOrs.
France believes in the necessity of a
new conference of the signatories of the
Berlin treaty for the purpose of clearing
up the situation and safeguarding the IN
terests of all the powers concerned. II
the principle Of new congress is ap-
proved France, In accord with Great Brit
ain and Russia, will abstain from recog-
nizing the independence of Bulgaria and
the seizure of Bosnia and Herzegovina
by Austria Hungary. This virtually Will
amount to backing up Turkeys protest.
and by saving the self-respect of the
porte will act as q calming and restrain
Ing influence.
Pursuant to this policy. President Fal-
Heres reply to Emperor Francis Joseph
will be courteous but non-committal.

Unseemly Activity.

been penalized for unseemly political &C
tivity. one. Paul w. Cox, a substitute
clerk in the post office at Robinson, ILL.,,

clerk of Crawford county on the prohi-
bition ticket. and the other. H. B. Thomas
clerk in the post office at Orangeburg
8. c., as we'll as chairman of the district
republican committee.
The former was separated entirely from
the service. although he claimed that his
politics did not cause him % neglect the
duties of his Office in any way, while the
latter was severely reprimanded. reduced
in salary to $500 year, and required to
resign his chairman hip.
1t was impossible to ascertain at the
Post Office Department today why the
penalty in one cas-" was more severe than
In the other, or whether the cases did
not come within the class referred to by
DR.. Grandfeld. the first assistant post
master general, yesterday, when he told
Star reporter that the theory upon
which certain dismissal were based was
that OF neglect of official duty.
DIR. Grandtield is absent from the city
today, and no one at the department
seemed to care to venture an opinion upon
the subject.

Greeted in Iowa.

PERRY Iowa, October Civilian j.
Bryan got a rousing reception on the oc-
casion of his arrival here today. where ne
spoke from the library steps to an I'M
n1ense crowd During the day he viii also
speak at Tama and Cedar Rapids. In his
remarks he attacked the republican party
for failing 10 make public it's campaign
contributions and reiterated his charge
that it was because it feared the light Of
day.
En- route TO This city he spoke at Valley
Junction Waukee. Dallas Center and
Minburn. Upon arrival Of Mr.. Bryan and
his Tarty at Valley Junction at 7.15 am.
they gave an exhibition of hasty exit
from the train. The intention was to go
to Des Moines and take the train for
Perry. but the word had gone forth that
the democratic candidate was to spend an
hour in the town and make an address.
A big, cheering crowd. among whom
was Jerry Sullivan. chairman of the state
committee of Iowa, with a large reception
committee, was irSistent in its demand
that Mr.. Bryan make his appearance as
the train was about to start. but the can
didate had no knowledge that he was to
visit Valley Junction and was only partly
dressed. as were the members of his
party However. he yielded to the de-
mands. and all hands quickly got out,
several finishing their toilets on the plat
form. Mr.. Bryan's speech. delivered from
a stand erected on lot adjoining the en-
CINE house. was listened to with rant at
tention. He spoke of the duties Of cit
izenship and the obligations and blessings
1t conferred. There was no place in the
world, he declared. where citizenship
meant so much as II did in the United
States. but he had wondered whether the
people who voted In the United States
realized what d vote meant. A single
vote. he said. had cost this country hun
dreds of millions of dollars. mot 10 speak
of the continuing appropriations that that
vote has entaiied upon u.s."
This remark had reference to the vote
cast by the Vice President IN breaking a
tie In the Senate on rs question of Fill
ipinO independence in 1898.
