STILL AFTER
INJUNCTION
ATTORNEYS FOR BOSTON
BONDHOLDERS TRYING NEW
DODGE TO SECURE RE-
STREAMING ORDER FROM
FEDERAL COURT IN 5-CENT
WAR.
seesssse Q esesss

The Stone-Webster interests are
trying to take snap judgment on
the city to head off the suit in su-
perior court by which the city
hopes to get five-cent fare for Fern
Hill and all the suburban terri
tory that is to be annexed to the
city.
City Attorney Stiles has been
given notice that the suit of the
Old Colony Trust company, filed
in Federal court and which was
supposed to be heard February 7.
Will come up next Monday.
Lawyers for the street car in
terests have been to the court and
given notice that they will move
an injunction under their petition
next Monday. Judge Hanford is
expected to come over to hear the
issue.
If the federal court grants the
injunction desired 1T would prac-
tically conflict with the suit in SUI
lperlor court now, which is to be
heard next Friday, December 81,
and would probably cause a clash
of the state and federal courts
should the former decide in favor
OF the city getting five-cent fare to
Fern Hill.
The state court is asked to issue
mandate compelling the T. r. &
to give five-cent fare to Fern
Hill. The federal court is asked
by the Old Colony Trust company
to grant an injunction restraining
the T. r. e p. from giving five
cent fare to Fern Hill.
Judge Stiles does not think the
petition in federal court will hold.
1t is based on false assumption
and is on its face bald attempt
to interfere with the Jurisdiction
of the state court, he believes.

SETTLES SUICIDE
TANGLE

Judge Easterday decided this
morning that the suicide found at
Point Defiance park last summer
was not the father of Theodore
Herbert Martin, as the boy has
tried to prove. The Judge made
an order In which he appointed C.
Q. Mellinger administrator of the
estate of r. j. Madden of Butte,
Mont, thereby virtually stating
that he believed the suicide to be
Madden.
Young Martin, who has made a
hard fight to prove that the suicide
was his father, Robert James
Martin, is absent from town, hav-
ing been ordered out by the po-
nice.

light Ia Judge Shackleford's de-
partment of the superior court to-
day in the suit of Nels Hansen

Not until the case was about to

witness who stated that the trunk
was safely stored away at his
home.
The plaintiff was Nels Hansen.

on Kelly applied
to Lurton for a

WORCESTER, Mass. Dec. 23.
Convinced that their townsman
Wallace E. Tillinghast, is the
foremost aviator of the age, 1000
people who las night saw a mys-
terious airship circling over the
city, are awaiting his return from
his nocturnal flight, eager to atone
for the jeers they hurled at him
when he recently declared that ne
flew to New York and back.
While it is not certain that
|Tillinghast made last nights
flight, everybody here believes he
did. For fifteen minutes the
strange air visitor swung over tile
city at a height of 1900 feet,
throwing the rays of a powerful
searchlight into the upturned
faces of those who watched from
below, and making four complete
circles before it headed southwest
and disappeared at a speed of 80
miles an hour.
The inventor has kept the ma
chine a mystery. When his wits
was questioned today, and asked
why no one has ever seen the
airship, she replied:
my husband knows his busi.
ness. He'll talk when the proper
times comes"
Spectators say that he carried
two men on his voyage.
