Meantime the hard times were

of difficulties developed in finance

Then the strikers took advantage

CLEVELAND, Oct. 27.-The
street railway situation in Cleve-
land has taken new turn. For
seven years 1t had been about as
complex as could be imagined, but
now confusion is added to complex
ity. a
Briefly, the events from the be-
ginning are as follows: u
Eight years ago Tom l.. Johnson
was elected mayor of the city on a
pledge that, so long as he was may
or and majority of the city coun,
Gil stood fast, no franchise should
be granted at less than Scent fare.
At that time the franchises of the
existing companies were nearing
+. expiration. They covered some 200
miles of track, and some grants
had expired, while others expired
at various times, the longest being
good until 1914.
The mayor at once sought to
break the monopoly by cOmpeti-
ton. The two old companies met
this move by consolidating into
one company. uniting all their fag-
ends of franchises into one owner
ship and at the same time starting
one of the most complex and in
genious legal wars in history.
The first Scent company was tied
hand and foot by injunctions; the
state legislature was called upon
and it tied the hands of the city
council over one election, and the
fight was waged in every court OF
Jurisdiction in the city. county and
state. and in all The federal courts,
twice up to the United States SUI
preme court.
AS fast as one 3-cent fare com
peting company was safely and Sc
curely hamstrung by the lawyers
and judges a new one was launch
ed, and the fight continued.
At last with big bond issue
falling due and requiring liquida'
ton or refunding; with ragged and
fast-expiring franchises and having
spent hundreds and thousands OF
dollars in the seven years war. the
Cleveland Electric railway placed
all on the hazard of the city cleo
ton of November, 1907, Mayor
Johnson, candidate for reelection
for the fourth time, was reelected
after the most bitter campaign the
city ever saw.
For six months longer the Cleve-
land Electric Co. held out and at
last consented to accept a new
franchise and to lease it's lines to
the Municipal Traction Co., which
was to operate them at cost and to
simulate municipal ownership as
closely as possible.
1t was agreed that the Municipal
Traction Co should charge only
three cent fare, but, in case it fail
ed, the old company should have
the right to retake and operate
the lines at five cent cash fare and
six tickets for quarter.
Hardly had the Municipal Trac
ton Co taken the property when a
general strike was declared. The
leader of the strike has since ad
.mitted to the Trades and Labor
council that over $4,000 was con
tributed by interested parties" to

ESPERANTO HAS
 WON A STATE

Aachen, Prussia, August 1.-Since the New York American first printed the story about the Esperanto colony in the tiny republic of Moresnet, which lies be- tween the frontiers of Prussia and Bel gium, the universal language of the future has almost conquered the tiny state, for about one-ifth of the inhabi- tants-4O00 men, women and children have become Esperanto adopts.
 The 70 children in the public school of Moresnet are already talking Esperanto in preference to German, or French, and it has been decided, beginning with the new year, to give instruction in Espe- ranto, to the exclusion of German and French.
 At night school over 100 adults study Esperanto, the women taking especial interest in the new language. The in- ternational union of drummers, which Is trying to establish Esperanto as a com mercial language, has its headquarters in Moresnet, and this summer many drum mers are spending their vacation there to commence. or continue. their studies in the universal language of the future.
