RELIEVED
Temporary Injunction by Fora ker Club Dissolved in the
 City Court.
TAFT CLUB GETS HALL
Fight of Antl-Taft Negroes to Keep Them from 142 Dixweu Avenue
 Ended by Judge Tyner.

After a hearing which occupied all yesterday afternoon In the city court the temporary injunction brought against R. l.. Grayson, by the Foraker league of colored men, to restrain him from occupying for his proposed colored mems Taft club the rooms which they claimed belonged to the Foraker league at 142 Dlxwell avenue, was dissolved by Judge Tyner. The case went on at o'clock and about score of negroes were heard in the course of the case. Although this re- moves all legal obstacles to the use of the rooms by Grayson and his new club 1t Is said that further court ac- ton will follow before the end of the matter comes.
 There was practically no dispute as to the following facts.
 The Foraker league started as an anti-Taft organization before MT. Taft's nomination for the presidency, had dwindled 10 less than one-f1fth of its original membership and it ceased to hold meetings and was practically abandoned. Mir Grayson had paid a large share of the expenses from the beginning, tho amount received by the club being but a fraction of the ex- pense and had received nothing from the club since early In September Since February 12 he had paid the whole rent, the club contributing noth ing. Having become convinced like most of our colored fellow citizens that Taft ought to be supported and elected he started a Taft club at the room and on october 17 ten or a dozen former members of the Foraker club entered the room where a large Taft meeting was being held and endeavored to break it up by proposing to hold an anti-Taft meeting. The action was re- peated on October 10 but Mir, Grayson informed them on both occasions that he was now paying the entire rent for the hall and would not allow an anti Taft meeting to be held there, that the ildll was now OCCupled py S0.etly republican club. He has obtained about 400 members for the Taft club since October 15 and the number Is rapidly increasing.
 John R. Booth appeared for the Foraker league and Henry c. Newton and Livington W cleaveland for MT Grayson and the Taft club,
 Immediately upon the announcement of the decision the Taft club opened its hall and held iubilation,

 Buffalo, N r., Oct. 30.--At the Con ntion Hall meeting here tonight, Mfr.
 1t took up the Standard oil subject.
 MT. Bryan Is greatly troubled said about my attitude toward the lsts and even more so by the an |uncement that MT. Rockefeller is for f If the Standard oil company were
 xious to bring about my election l ould take 1t that the last thing that luld be done would be to advertise
 support of me. Therefore this pub alton which Mir Bryan Is now mak- so much of 1t seems to me, has hut

 There Is a gentleman from your

celebrating" Christmas.

The news dispatches from some of
the southern cities telling of happen
ings during Christmas read like bulle-
tins from the front in war time. From
New Orleans comes word that up to
the hour of writing there had been nine
murders in Louisiana and lower Missis-
sippi; three suicides and a score of
serious casualties. the latter including
several premature giant cracker eXplo-
sions, causing disfigurements and pos
sibly deaths. Hopkinsville, Ky, reports
the killing of five negroes in a general
pistol fight over an attempt to steal a
jug Of whisky. From other parts of
Kentucky come tales Of bloodshed, the
result of Christmas celebrating In
Atlanta a youth of eighteen ran amuck
with a sharp knife after a series of
social drinks" and seriously cut three
men before he was overpowered.
These are but samples of the way in
which Christmas was observed. In
Washington there were no killings or
serious ARRAYS, but there was enough
drunkenness in public view to strengthen
the suggestion that one Of the most
seemly methods of concentrating the
birth of Christ would be TO close all
saloons Throughout the day.

japan and the Senate.

If the democratic senators press the
matter of the understanding with Japan
and ask for a formal discussion, it is to
be hoped the republicans will not move to
close the doors. Why not have the whole
question presented in public?
AS matter of fact, the question is al
ready of general knowledge. The CORE
spondence that passed between Mr. Root
and Baron Takahira clearly sets forth the
case from the administration point OF
view, and this has been reinforced by the
speech of the latter before the Lotos
Club of New York the other night. No
treaty is avowed, nor are the terms Of one
disclosed. The business presented is sim
pie. but sufficient. Both America and
Japan are satisfied with ii, and feel that
much good will come of if.
But as there is another view. if those
who entertain it want to express it why
not afford them the opportunity? There
seems to be no purpose to offend Japan.
Her friendship is appreciated all around.
Nor is there anybody opposed to John
Hays open-door policy as to China. That
is as popular today as when first enun-
ciated. We all want a commercial chance
in China in this day of her awakening,
and in the good days TO follow
The democratic contention is largely
academic. and plays around nice distinc-
tons and strict constructionism. It is
not without interest. and the men who
support it are very clever in the presenta-
tion of a case. 4 public debate on the
question would be worth it's space at any
time in the session.
At the same time il is we'll to remem-
Der that what has been done has not
only received the sanction of the present
administration, but is most favora bly, re-
garded by the head of the administration
soon to take office. Judge Taft approves
of the step taken. He knows the situa-
ton in the far east better than any
statesman of his class. He advocates our
a generation, and that calls for our being
alive at all times to the Developments in
that part of the globe. Japan is now the
dominant power there. and China is a
coming power Of great interest. What
ever. therefore. Of a safe nature is usefu
in keeping us in friendly touch with those
two countries is worthy of adoption.
And Mr.. Knox. it is to be assumed. is
in line with both the Hay policy and the
Root reassertion of It, AS a member
first of the Mckinley cabinet and then
Of the Roosevelt cabinet he is familiar
with the subject, and as Secretary of
State will assist his chief in the shaping
Of our interests in the east. He doubt
less would willingly have set his hand to
the Root letter.
Matters then. upon broad grounds. are
we'll understood and well approved. Lead
ing democratic newspapers have spoken
as cordially of the understanding reached
and proclaimed as republican newspapers
So far as the press is concerned. there has
been no division on party lines. or any
lines. But as party division appears in
the Senate. it may be the wisest course
to have it traced and explained in detail
in open meetings

Up in Nyack. y. V, self-styled prophet
is frightening timid people by proclaimng
that the lend of the world is 10 come
tomorrow. Some of the women who have
heard him preach have become nervous
wrecks in consequence. Children, it is
reported, are crying bitterly in the streets
as, they hear the hysterical talk of their
elders. Despite the fact that the COM
mon sense of the people generally domi-
mates the community is in a state of high
excitement. The prophet" himself has
started for the top of mountain. whence
he is to view the devastation of the lower
lands. The exact method of the destruc-
ton is not clearly proclaimed, but there
is hint of CONGREGATIONS to consume
the cities and of commissions to rend the
esrth's crust in the country. Spangler,
which is the name of the presaser of evil,
