that IL would not be strange If, after
soil. forests and mineral resources
of the country had been wasted and
destroyed unnecessarily. the people
rose in their might and tore down
the pillars of their national temple.
Although he declined to make such
a gloomy view as that expressed In
letter written by Lord Macauley TO
an American friend 80 years ago, Mr..
Hill. nevertheless, read that portion
OF, the letter in which IL was pointed
out that hunger had become general
among the working people and agita-
tors had begun their work. Ii said:
EITHER some Caecar, or Napolean
will seize the reins of government
with a strong hand, or your republic
will be as fearfully plundered and
laid waste by barbarlans in the
twentieth century as the Roman en-
pre in the fifth"

TARSNEY LOSES POINT
IN HUDE LAWSUIT

LANSING. Mich. May 14.-(Spl)-
7. K. Tarnsey. OF Detroit, failed In the
supreme court today In his efforts to
have Judge Lockwood. sitting as a cir.
cunt Judge In Wayne county, compelled
TO vacate his order setting for trial
on April 81 the case OF Marcel f.
Hude, against himself, in which 1t Is
claimed numerous delays have been
secured. The case was adjourned
from time To time and finally was set
peremptorily for March %. Judge
Lockwood at that time permitted an
adjournment until April p, when
proofs were to be taken in open court.
Tarnsey brought the matter before
the supreme court by mandamus, but
the court says it would be unseemly
to interfere with the action of judges
through interlocutory application and
attempt to steer the trial judges OF
the state.

COURT ORDERS LID
SCREWED DOWN IN
PEN0BSC0T Inn
MURPHY ESTATE HAS RIGHT TO
CUT OFF LIGHT AND HEAT DUR
ING ILLEGAL HOURS AND PLACE
MUST CLOSE.

An important decision In the fight
for the possession OF the Penobscot
Inn was handed down by Judge Muir
ply Thursday morning. in which he
rules 4. favor OF the Simon j. Murphy
Co. and against Brennan 4 Fitzgerald
proprietors of the Inn. According to
the judges decision the Murphy es
tate has the right TO cut off the heat
and light which, under the terms OF
the lease. they were to furnish. at IL
O'Clock p. m. and the restaurant pro-
prletors are also directed TO close
their place at IL o'clock and on sun
days
The Murphy estate was not salts
fed with the manner In which ,he
Penobscot Inn was conducted. anu
hired detective TO frequent the place
and gather evidence. He told of being
in Their as late as o'clock in the
morning, of seeing women drunk, and
young woman take the place Of the
bartenders and serve drinks. The es-
tate threatened to shut of the heat
and light. and Brennan & Fitzgerald
hurried into court and obtained an in
junction. The Murphys then took
action to have the injunction modified,
claiming the law was being constantly
broken, and that the premises were
being used for illegal purposes.
Judge Murphy solids that the con-
tention OF the proprietors Of the Pc
nobscot building Is correct, and says:
The illegal use OF the premises is
admitted, yet in order that this illegal
use continue the tenants, through the
fundamentally of he cours and by
means OF a writ of injunction, have
by means OF restrictive action
against the withholding of heat and
light compelled the landlord to aid
them In the violation both of the lease
and the law. In these respects the in
junction Is improvident, and must be
modified to remove the infirmity."
Not only have the Murphys the
right. under the decision. TO cut off the
heat and light at IL o'clock and on
Sundays. but the Inn proprietors are
directed to close their place at the
hours prescribed for the closing OF
places where liquor is sold, and the
landlord has the power TO close a
door by which access is gained TO the
restaurant from the main hallway of
the Peuobscot building.
The hearing of the case By which
the Murphy estate seeks to Gust Bren-
nan & Fitzgerald from the building
is still pending.

who resides at. Kewanee, McHenry county,
Illinois The defendants are men of prom
inence in the Black Hills and eastern
Wyoming.
The defendants in one of the actions are
William ]. Mclaughlin and George s. Jack
son of Lawrence county of the Briar Hill
Coal company, owning extensive coal lands
in Wyoming and the Mclaughlin Tie and
Timber company. Mayhem alleges in his
complaint that the two companies got in
a bad way financially and that upon the
solicitation of the defendants he induced
H. W. Trask and p. A. Waller, capitalists
of Kewanee, ILL.,, and their associates to
finance the enterprises. 1t is alleged in
the complaint that Trask and his associ-
ates furnished in financing the two COM
panies the aggregate sum of not less than
$500 900.
The plaintiff alleges he was to receive a
certain commission for finding men to
finance the companies and that his serv-
ices were worth the reasonable value of
$4,000 which the defendants have refused
to pay.
