LID CASES ARE DECIDED.
Judge Dana Renders Opinion Favoring
Former Chief StahI.

The last of the famous old suits cen
tering in Frank M. StahPS administra-
ton as chief of police and his fight to
get lid on Topeka were decided in the
district court this morning when Judge
Dana rendered judgment to Stahl on
two replevin bonds given for liquors
which he had seized.
One bond had been furnished by Geo.
Burghart to replevin goods for c. NJ.
Hines. After a, long series of suits and
a, decision in the supreme court it was
found that Hines would have to pay for
the liquor. But Hines is nowhere

the power of the real Republican ma
jority.
1.-The fight was primarily against the
Taft administration. That it was not
successful is due to the fact that there
would have been no excuse and no
escape from humiliation to Republic

that they were against the administra-
ton and willing to put the power of
the legislators into the hands of Demo-

elected by Republicans started in inn
mediately to betray their constituents.
and are headed straight for the Demo-
cratic party.
1t is to be hoped. for the good of
the country, that the atmosphere has
been cleared of strife, and the house,
which voted itself decidedly Republi
can on a measure that was of political
consequence will put through the
Roosevelt-Taf policies and further
materialize the pledges of the Repub-
lican PLATFORM

FALLING TO PIECES.
Strike Loses $4,000 Adj
herents in One Day.

PHILADELPHIA March 23.-Although
participants in the conference between
strike leaders, transit company di-
rectors and politicians which adjourn
ed early today stated that no agree
ment had been reached and that a
settlement of the street car strike was
not yet in sight it is believed that a
step toward a settlement of the diff
Guilty has been taken.
The conference was held in the
residence of George H. Earle, one of
the representatives of the city on the
board of directors of the transit COM
pany. For the first time all the prin-
cipal labor leaders were brought to-
gether and discussed with members
of the board of directors their stand
in the controversy between the car
men and the transit company. Sew
eral of the national officers of the
Amalgamated Association of Street
and Electric Railway employees, as
well as the members of the commit
tee of ten, which has charge of the
local sympathetic strike were pres
Nichol and Frank Feeney. chief of
the bureau of elevator inspection at
the city hall and former president of
the Central Labor union, were also in
attendance.
1t was after o'clock before the last
dence. Every one was reticent in
discussing the meeting although Pres
ident w. D. Mahon, of the car mems
union, and Senator McNfchol both
stated that a settlement is not yet in
sight.
AS the settlement of the street car
mems troubles continue to be delayed
the leaders of the general sympathet-
&c strike are finding it harder and
harder to to keep their followers in
line.
The textile workers in Kensington
who, together with the members of
the Allied Building Trades formed the
backbone of the general strike, re-
sumed work today. The textile unions
represent about $4,000 persons.
It IS generally agreed among labor
leaders and others that the general
strike to aid the carmen was not a
successful movement The executive
council of the state federation of la
Dor will, however, meet at Wilkes
barre today to consider further the
question of calling statewide strike.

MERCER PUTSFOOT DOWN
Stops Shipping of Horses Into State
Without Health Certificates.

J. H. Mercer, state live stock COM
missioner, today issued a manifesto to
the effect that no more horses or mules
will be permitted to cross the state line
without a certificate of good health
from which they come. This order will
go into effect April l. The live stock
Commissioner got into this frame of
mind as a result of the numerous cases
of CHAMBERS and other sickness among
horses over the state, spread in most
cases by horses and mules shipped in
from other states where they are more
careless about the checking of disease
among animals.
