REHEARING rs DENIED

The appellate court has handed down
a decision in the celebrated South
Shore electric cases in which the
Western Union, the Postal Telegraph
companies, and the Lake Shore and
Michigan Southern Railroad company
attempted to enjoin the electric line
from operating its line between South
Bend and Pullman because its high
voltage demoralized the current in the
wires of the complaining company.
The appellate court holds that a case
which held that street railway COM
pany could be prevented from causing
electrolysis of a water companys pipes,
1S1. Fed. $50. will not support com
plant against an electric railway from
interfering by induction OF electricity

broadsides have been aimed
against Evanston's new Jim Crow"

New York, Sept. 2.-The unsolved
mystery of the murder of Elsie ST.

day following the arrest of some
Chinese by immigration inspectors,
who last night raided a restaurant
in Hoboken. Although the immigra-
tion authorities declined to explain
what connection, if any, the arrest
had with the Sigel case, it was re-
ported today that the police found
an important clue. Ostensibly the
prisoner, Gee Cow, was arrested on
suspicion of having smuggled his
fellow countrymen into the United
States. Elsie SigeTs body, bearing
unmistakable marks of violence, was
found in a trunk in a Chinese re-
sort. Although several arrests were
