STRIKE ABOUT OVER.
Cleveland Street Car Men Vote to Re-
turn to Work by Big Majority.

CLEVELAND. May 27-The strike
of the street railway conductors and
motormen may be declared off to-
morrow This was predicted tonight
by both sides to the controversy fol-
lowing the vote of the men now at
work not to submit their seniority
rights to arbitration. The vote of the
men was decisive, 1.076 TO 1923. The
negotiations for peace, therefore,
have nothing material to arbitrate.
President Dupont of the Municipal
company, following the announce
ment of the vote. stated he would
give employment to all strikers up
to o'clock tomorrow evening The
strikers will meet at II O'Clock to-
morrow morning to consider this ul-
timatnm. Officially they will meet to
consider the question of going ahead
with the work of arbitration. with
the seniority clause eliminated.
As nearly 900 of the strikers al
ready have deserted and the company
is operating normal schedule in the
city. II is predicted that the men will
vote to return to work under the
company's Offer If they do the strike
will end in a victory for the COM
pany.
Tonight a petition calling for a
vote of the citizens of Cleveland, un-
der the state initiative and referend-
um law. upon the legality of the fran
chise under which the Municipal com
pany is operating. was presented to
the city council. Some claim that
the Municipal Traction Co. franchise
becomes imperative upon the pre-
sentation of the petition. Attorneys
differ upon this point. The petition
bore $4,000 names. 1t is said.
Thirteen strikers were arrested to-
day on the charge of participating
in riots and destroying property. Two

RENO. May 27.-Aeting Governor

funeral of the late Governor Sparks

The banking laws should be chang

interest TO the banks as to the de-
positor that this should be done. Our
banks are as safe and sound as any

timid persons prefer to bury their
money in cellars or other places of
coneealment rather than put it in
the banks, feeling that they are not
sufficiently protected under our pres

Johnson was yoided by the failure of
johnson to secure from Keith and
Kearns the sum of sI3O,000 instead
of 100000. He admitted that he
had told Johnson he would carry out
his agreement on the $4,000 basis.
The other important point made in
the Mcdonald testimony was that he
did not consider $4,000 which has
been put into development by Keith
and Kearns u be applicable on the
payment of 100000 agreed upon.
although the contract as submitted
calls for the application on purchase
price of money expended in develop
ment.
Mcdonald was submitted to a ner-
eiless cross examination by Judge Nc
Gunnis. for the plaintiff, the princi-
pal object of which appeared to he
to establish that Mcdonald had verb
ally agreed and given Johnson to un-
derstand that his contract with him
meant that if he failed to get $780,
600 he should have his commission of
) per cent on any amount under that
sum that Mcdonald might agree to
accept. Mcdonald eyaded the posi-.
tive declarations sought by the
plaintif. admitting only that he had
told johnson that he was in the habit
of keeping agreements that he made.
No rebuttal was offered. McDonald's
testimony closing evidence.
The attorneys for the plaintiff then
presented list of peremptory in
structions, ten in number. which they
asked the court to deliver to the jury.
The latter was retired from the room
while the court took up the instruc
tions and listened to the attorneys for
the contestants with reference to
them. Exceptions to each instruc
ton was entered by the defense.
while the plaintiff argued for their
adoption by the court. They call for
finding for the plaintiff and the
award of the fee he seeks In full, the
total amount being s6,500 The
court took the matter under advise
ment for the night. Decision will
be rendered this morning at . O'Clock,

Lenethy LINEAGE.

In Leaves from the Notebooks of
Lady Dorothy Nevlll," recently edited
by Lady Dorothy's son, Mr.. Ralph Ne.
viii, there is an amusing story of an
old peer whose considerable family
pride was agreeably tempered with
humor.
One day he was surprised to be told
by his sister that she had conceived a
great affection for a well-known al
though somewhat eccentric man Of
science, who. although generally es.
teemed, was of very humble Semitic
origin.
Not quite determined as to what
course of action he shonld take, he
sent for the prospective bridegroom
with the intention of talking masters
over. After some conversation, he
said.
And now, sir. should ike to know
something about your ia .ly."
Il think" replied the other, that it
will be sufficient TO say that | am of
the descent of the illustrious blood of
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob"
oh" said the peer. "of course our
family has nothing to compare with
that. II my sister likes you, you bad
better take her. "-Youth's Compa 4

with ones head under a window tent,
one and all would do it, says bulletin
of the Indiana health department.
CoHghs, colds. pneumonia, consump-
ton and all other diseases of the air
passages are principally induced by
breathing foul air. The window tent
supplies fresh outdoor air to breathe
and at the same time permits the body
to be in a warm room. The head is
accustomed to the cold, and in very
cold weather an ordinary woman's
knit hood may be worn to protect the
ears and cheeks. During the night
and when asleep the tissues are re-
paired and the brain and nerve cells
are recharged with energy. Pure air
is the great factor in repair work.
Consumption and eatarrh in their
early stages can be cured by breathing
fresh air night and day.

popular man for a certain close dis

speaker had just renominated a per

elaborate eulogy had presented in
glowing terms his manifold merits, es-
pecially emphasizing his great services
on the field OF battle as well as in the
pursuits of peace.
