entered the house, placed the men un- der arrest, took them to the Phoenix vile station house, and they were kept prisoners until the next morning. La- ter they were given hearings by a Phoenixville magistrate. At that time ficer, and in the bill of complaint filed at West Chester he outlines his case. The bill runs as follows:
 The plaintiff in this suit Is a oiti . zen. a resident and business man of Phoenlxville and has al ways been a peaceful and law-abiding man.
 'On the night of July g. the plain tiff. upon the invitation of a friend and neighboV. was a visitor at the dwelling house of the latter, and the defendant, the police officer. Curran. then and there with force and violence and a strong arm. forced his way Into said dwelling and with pistol In hand threatening to shoot said plaintiff lt he made any resistance, did seize and lay hold of the plaintiff.
 ''The said defendant did then compel the said plaintiff to go tn and along the public streets of Phoenixville to the common prison, and there the plaintiff was detained for seven hours or until the next morning, when a warrant was served charging him with being a com mon gambler. Later, before a magis- trate, heplaintif was dismissed.
 By means of this illegal, malicious. oppressive and false imprisonment the plaintiff has been greatly and griev- ousIy damnified and injured in his good name, fame, reputation and credit, and has been brought into shame and dis grace among his neighbors to the amount of s5.00o. and therefore he brings this suit"
 l. n Chester counties, who have been in the habit of entertaining their friends at quiet little games in their own homes, will watch the outcome of this partic- ular suit with a great deal of interest the stakes involved being rather higher than in the ordinary poker game.

FIGHT OVER SUICIDE.
San Antonio Police In Row With Ne

San Antonio Police In Row With Ne-
 grOes.
 San Antonio, Texas. Aug. 22.-tSpe- ciaI)--A general melee in which picks and knives played a very prominent part was the result of the samaritan sndeavor of Policeman A. 8. sando- wal and his brother, M. Sandovai
 They/were trying to administer first aid treatment to a negro woman who had swallowed several tablets of bi- chloride of mercury with view of ab- previating her earthly career All went well until the guardian of the peace ordered the "culiud folks" who were watching developments, from the room with a view of getting little more and pure air for themselves and the woman. All of them left with the ex- ception of one, who speaking for her 'oie man" and herself announced that no such thing would happen if she had a say in th4 matter.
 Policeman SanEfovai was just about to enforce a more practical method of eJection when he found that he had counted without his hosts. as 1t were. In a second the room was filled with negroes armed with every description of weapon procarable. mostly picks and knives. and a pitched battle of several minutes duration was pulled of.
 Nj. Sandovai vas stabbed seriously several times ana is said to be in dangerous condition.
 The negroes implicated in the rough house are mourning their loss of lib erty in the city hall basement. and. no doubt. the usual promptitude exer- cised in such mattIrs locally will pro- vide them with al few months work on the rock pile an( the roads.

Strength Is But Fore warning.

In holding the inquest over the com mission form of government. there Is a novel mixture of views advanced as to the cause of the death of the bill. Its progress in the House of Representatives was the most varied that could be supposed. Reported fa- vorably by the Committee on Munich pal Organization, recommitted to the committee and adversed handiiy, taken from the adverse calendar by a good majority, then indefinitely postponed by recommendation of the House in com mfttee of the whole.
 Some friends of the measure are charging the Governor with luke warmness in his support. Indeed. some assert their belief that he actually withdrew his support or at least sent forth the word that he would unite all strings. His argument seemed to be , that the Legislature had been so law fsh in reform enactments that he would not press the commission plan. The report is, too. that the tension with constitutional prohibition just ahead of commission government was so great that it might be considered too great demand on the reform" re- serve of the solons to ask for the conn mission government, albeit nobody up to that-time had considered the reform wave as having no special limit.
 However, if the Governor did not withdraw his support. the opponents of the bill must be given credit for some fast and telling work. The talk ing of the bill from the adverse call endar was proof of recoup in the strength of the reformers, and when only three or four days thereafter MT. Urquhart, the author, had 1t called. a series of fprceful and rational argu- ments were put up with evident ef- feet Yet when the vote came on in- definite postponement there was a good margin of votes to spare.
 The friends of the bill are profess ing. however, not to, be dismayed over declare that the strength which they boiled with such short ante-sesaion la- bor is but a forewarning of what may be that one more supreme effort twill be made in the 1911 Legislature to send the bill to third successful reading and passage. Though 1t must be said that the State could hardly ever again expect to furnish 8 set of lawmakers more willing to adopt new tangled ideas of reform than the pres 'ent Legislature.
 Doubtless the most powerful infiu- ence that went for the death of the commission bill was the alliance of prominent city officials and Aldermen of Montgomery. Mobile and Birming sham. Birmingham Aldermen were no- xabiy active in opposition to the meas sure. and MT. Gunter. the Mayor -efect tof Montgomery and member of the House, was the spirit of the opposition on the House floor.

 Texas.
 San Antonio, Aug. 22.-(Special.)-- Western and Southwestern Texas is up in arms against the mail order house.
 The retailers and some of the small CT papers have decided to undertake c campaign of education in which the many drawbacks alleged will be properly aired.
 It appears that the mail order houses have made considerable inroads In the business which the merchants in the smaIle towns are considering their rightful preserves. The general claim Is set up that the customer of the mail order house will never do quite as well as the one who deals with the established firm in the local field. Charges of fraud are also al- legged.
 "Bingville for the Bingvillians and the corner store" Is the slogan finding a great deal of application.
