SERVICE SUSPENDED.
Three Fourths of the Cars Idle on
Philadelphia Lines.

Philadelphia, May 31.-Although
the Philadelphia Rapid Transit COM
pany brought men to this city yester-
day and during then night to take the
places of its motormen and conduc-
tors who went on strike Saturday,
the street car service. is worse today
than at any time since the trouble
began. Less than one-half of the
regular number of cars operated by
the company, which controls every
line in the city. are running today, a
day when the equipment of the big
corporation is always taxed by the
holiday crowds.
The company admitted that only
25 per cent of its cars were in opera
ton. President John B. Parsons of
the company and Charles o. Kruger,
general manager, are still optimistic
and say the company will win and
fill the deserted places with new men.
On the other hand there is much joy
in the ranks of the strikers over the
demoralized situation c. 0. Pratt,
chairman of the executive committee
of the Amalgamated Association OF
Street and Electric Railway En-
ployes. who is in charge of the strike,
declared if the men remain steadfast
to their cause they will win He is

to keep away from saloons and to not
modest the men WIN diO AuiiiiiiiS
cars.
The Market street subway and
elevated roads have not been AFFECTED
by the strike, the employees on these
lines receiving higher pay than the
surface workers.
The strike has seriously interfered
with the observance of Memorial
dav thousands of persons being
forced to give up their visits to
cemeteries or forego their pleasure
trips to parks and other places
On some of the lines service is
practically suspended.
Automobiles are being hired at
high figures and thousands OF
teamsters are carrying people at five
and ten cents a ride.
The strikers have sympathetic
following due in a large measure to
the action of the traction company
in advancing the fare month ago
from six rides for a quarter TO nve
cents straight. Every car is carrying
two policemen and on some lines
four.

ENDED WITH A FIGHT.
Session of Illinois Senate Ran Far In
to Sunday.

Springfield. ILL.,. May 31.-A pugi-
I1Stlc encounter between state Senator
James A. Henson and Thomas Sheri-
dan, an assistant Sergeant-at-arms, in
which blood was spilled, marked the
closing hours of the senate session.
The general assembly was in a dead
lock on the question of sine die ad-
journment and the fight occurred
when Senator Henson attempted to
leave the senate chamber after he had
been refused permission to depart.
The doors of the chamber previously
had been locked to keep the MEM
bers in. Senator Henson attempted
to open the doors when Sheridan, who
is young and athletic, caught him by
the arm, according to Sheridan, Hen
son thereupon turned and struck him
in the face. A moment later the two
were involved in rough and tumble
fight.
At the steps leading to the main
floor both fell, rolling and striking on
the carpet until they were dragged
apart while Senator Heard, an ex-
confederate soldier begged them to
remember Illinois and not disgrace
the senate. Senator Henson rose, his
face bleeding and started at Sheridan,
but was restrained and further trou-
bic was averted. Later apologies
were made by all concerned.
After being in session all Saturday
night both the senate and the house
after a. m. Sunday adjourned I'M
til today. The senators signed an
agreement not to do any work be-
fore Thursday.

As this large congregation filed out of
the building, such expressions as.
Wasn't it fine?' Il enjoyed that" and
That was good" could be heard on
every side.
Promptly at four o'clock the notes of
the big pipe organ began to reverberate
through the hall and at five to the tick
of the clock the melodious strains of

ceased.
was an evidence of comr'ete satisfac-
ton. Enthusiasm at times ran so high
that 1T was all but impossible for the
assembly to resist the impulse to ap-
plaud, and almost mechanically a muf-
fled sound expressing appreciation
broke out. There was, however, a gen.
eral pervading air of quiet restfulness
which took on a worshipful spirit
In the eyes of the committee the dig
nifty of the Sunday vesper service will
not permit of any outward bursts of
applause and on this particular occa-
sion a number of requests were handed
in by musical friends that there should
be no such demonstrations.
1t is the intention of the Topeka
Pipe Organ association to arrange sim
liar musical services from time to time
provided that the public shows its APP
prevail by actual attendance at the
functions. The committee wishes to
have the cooperation of the people in
an attempt to begin and close these
services on the scheduled hour.
The opening number of the pro-
gramme was Wagner's Pilgrim
Chorus" by Mrs. ARA Clark. This is
a selection that never grows old, and
Mrs. Clark's excellent expression made
it the more enjoyable For the third
number on the programme the organist
gave three selections. Mendelssohn' S
Spring Song" played by special re-
quest, being rendered with special
Iightness and delicacy of touch. Christ
Stilleth the Tempest (from Life of
CHRISTI was played with force
Miss Meta K. Legler whose voice
shows thorough training and excellent
quality delighted the audience in her
rendering of Shubert's Ave Maria, -
Dudley Bucks Fear Not Ye, o Is
rael" and by a popular song, sung at
ent, the words of which are composed
by Mrs: Isabel Macarthur of this city
and the music by Miss Leg1er.
Last but not least we have Mr. Carl
ton Wood, whose training abroad has
given him the touch and ability to in
spire his hearers.
The final number on the program in
which all three of the musicians took
part was fitting closing to an hour
we'll appreciated.
Mrs. Clark is a pupil of S. Wesley
Martin, formerly of Chicago, and OF
Mrs. Geo. Nelson Holt of Chicago, who
ir turn studied under Guilmont. She
is at present organist at the First
Methodist church, her previous expert
ence having been in Rockford, Ill. This
summer it is her intention to again
study under Mrs. Holt.
Miss Legler is a pupil of Jean de
ResZke, who wished her to go into
grand opera. She. however, preferred
concert work, and is at the present
time about to engage in that work on
the west coast. In the not far distant
future she expects to again return to
Paris to study under Jean de Reszke
Mr.. Wood has studied in Brussels
Berlin, and Prague. his last instruc-
tor being Prof. Otto Sevcik, also teach
er of Kubelik, we'll known in Topeka
IE all he spent four years in study on
the continent.

Bavaria and his arrival an hour and a
half later at Nuremberg caused the
greatest surprise to thousands of pleas
ure seekers who were preparing for the
holiday excursions.
Card Thrown Out.
The ship Unanswered over the city
and then a card was thrown out, stat
ing that much more water and ben
zine had been used than was expected
and that the craft would descend to
the surface of Lake Dutzenteich to re-
plenish the water supply. This, how
ever. was not carried out. Count Yep
pelin continued his cruise onward with
out interruption in direct line toward
Berlin, passing over several towns at a
low altitude until he reached the
frontiers of Saxony where the airship
was headed straight for Leipsic. Tele-
grams received there from the south
indicated Count Zeppelin would make
a landinp and the entire population
waited for several hours in the streets
and open spaces to greet him. Instead
of landing the count put his craft
through a series of maneuvers for a
half hour, coming at times compare
lively close to the tops of buildings.
He then went on, crossing Halle to Git
terfeld. No time was wasted there and to
everybody's surprise the airship, after
describing great circle, turned again
and sailed to the south.
In the meantime the military authorities
at Berlin were absolutely without advices
as to the counts plans Major Gross,
commander of the army balloon corps,

Mite JURY C0NvICTS.
Eleven Jurors for Acquitta1 From
First, Twelfth Man Obstinate.

Garden City, Kan. May 31.-After SO
hours deliberations the jury which
tried Samuel Mite for killing his father
brought in a compromise verdict of
manslaughter in the third degree with
the recommendation of cIemency to the
fullest extent of the law, which I'M
Goubtedly means the minimum sem
tence, six months in jail.
Samuel Mite shot his father under
the greatest provocation and the SEN
timent of the entire community is in
favor of the boy who killed his father
to save his sisters. 1t is said that the
jury from the first ballot stood eleven
to one for acquittal and the verdict
rendered was compromise, one
juror, F. S. Woods, declaring that he
would never give his consent to a YER
dict other than conviction.
Under the circumstances Samuel Mite
who was a university student, will pro-
baby have to serve six months in the
county Jail unless it is in the province
of the trial judge, William H. Thomp
son, to parole the young man. The trial
was one of the most sensational ever
held in the Thirty second judicial dis
trict, the defense relying almost solely
on the 'unwritten law for an acquit-
tai.
