NOT TO ASK INJUNCTION
Washington Authorities GhangePlans
in Their Suit Against
Merger.

1t is the opinion of many AlcSan-
drians, who have followed with care
the proceedings in Washington
against the merger of the utilities of
that city in the big Washington utili-
ties whose local domicile is in this city
that much of the objection to the mer-
ger is due to jealousy on the part
of the District authorities against a
Virginia corporation owning import
ant public utilities in Washington.
Corporation Counsel, E. H. Thomas,
of the District, announced last night
that it is his present intention to
abondon the request for preliminary
injunction in the bill which he will file
in the District Supreme Court to
prevent the merger of any local utiii-
ties with the Washington Utilities Co.
This bill will seek to restrain n:erg-
ing of the local companies with the
foreign corporation, but instead Of
suing out such an order with the fling
of the suit he will wait until the de-
PENDANT has made answer to the bill.
and has thus furnished proof CT its
objects and purposes.
According to Mr.. Thomas any steps
which the companies may take in the
meantime to amalgamate their inter
ests they will take at their own risk:
with the possibility of an adverse de-
cision ordering dissolution.
Washington officials are Of the opin-
ion that a precedent for the d;ssolu-
ton of the company by the court,
in the event it should be sought, may
be found in the merger of the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific Rail
road Companies, which was held 10 be
in vio!atin of the Sherman anti
Trust law and was ordered dissolved
by the Supreme Court. The diS5oiu-
ton was accomplished byan arrange
ment whereby holders Of the securities
of the company were given pro rata
share of the assets of the holding COM
pany instead of the stock which they
had held in one or the other C the
two railroad concerns.
Should the Washington Utilities
Company be ordered dissolved, lnder
a similar plan Of distribution Of stock,
previous stockholders of the rail
way company would get only por-
ton Of their former holdings, and in
addition the stock of other COM
panies absorbed in the merger.

ENORMOUS LOSS

THE VALUE OF A
SINGLE VOTE.

The man who is inclined to look
upon a single vote as small conSe-
quence because it will make no dit
ference one way or the other" Is po-
litely referred to the closeness of the
election in California, which has been
wavering in the balance for more than
a week. At one time the returns show
ed a margin of but ten votes be-
tween the leading candidates, and this,
too, is one of the greatest States In
the Union. One day the figures gave
the State to Wilson by "a. This plu-
rality out of total of 100000 votes
cast at the polls must appeal with
force to every man who heretofore has
placed small value on his Individual
vote. This goes to show what few
men, entertaining views of that char
acter might change the policy OF gov
eminent. Had the election been so
close as to depend on the result Of this
III SCdCc,lHe lillpul IiilNS VI Wv 1900
vote will be all the mere apparent.
There are many hundreds of eisc-
ton districts in California, and ii
would have required but small per-
centage of the Indifferent class to
have accomplished because of the be-
lief that their influence would have
no perceptible effect, we can begin to
realize the value Of vote. The les
son is one that should have a good ell
feet on voters generally. Too many
men cast their votes without a thought
of the possible effect. One mans vote
is Just as good as that of another
and its influence at times may be far
reaching as shown by the closencss
of the contest in one Of the most I'M
portant of the States.
Those who look lightly upon their
own citizenship are in error, for 1t Is
thought the ballot that one is enabled
to exercise the greatest gift. When
man is encountered who declares
"my vote will not make any diiler-
ence," refers to California ,aS an eX-
ample of what few votes are ca
pahle of doing.

Ready for Whitman.

It was learned yesterday in news paper circles that Col. Whitman on his journey here would be accompan jed by representatives of almost every newspaper in New York. that probably representatives of other papers would be here when the famous commission work is in progress.
 The Associated Press. one of the leading news gathering istitutions ot the world, will have a special man here to fudnish it's papers with in formation of the developments here.
 Regardless of the fact that locally the coming of Whitman does not seem of particular importance. there is likely to be waged a terrific fight here over the qualifications of Sam Sche2ps as a witness in the Rosenthal trial If the defense can discredit Schepps they have advanced a long way in the matter of setting about to advance their theory of gang feuds." If the testimony of Sphepps, as given MT. Whitman in New York, is not discred- tied here, and it seems there is little chance for it to be, the state has gain ed a material point.

WILL SEND AMERICAN
 WARShIPS ID RELIEF
ATTACK ON CUSTOMS HOUSE MAKES ORDER NECESSARY TO
 PROTECT SITUATION.

Washington, Sept 1S - American warships probably will be sent at once
 to Santo Domingo as the result of a
 revoution that has broken out there. and the seizure of thu customs houses by the rebels.
 Invasion of the back republic by American forces aso may be neces- sary, for adviees reaching the state department, late today were to the effect that the reyolutionists had seized virtually all the customs houses along the -Haytien froptier, which are under American supervis- ion.
 The action of the rebels is puzzling to state department officials. In past revolutions the leaders have carefully avoided interfering with the customs houses, since thus they would invite action by the United States Their high handed methods now, 1t Is fear. ed, indicates that no foreign property is safe.
 Plans for the military expedition are being guarded with more than usual secrecy. It was acknowledged toiay by officials here that the situation was serious. Orders probably will be issued for the sending of several de- taehments of marines as soon as the necessary vessels are forthcoming.

that the spirit of the deceased should not make the last journey alone.
 Tn recent years. and in the new Japan, this custom had been gener- ally abandoned.
 The fact that General Nogi and hls wife had lost their two sons during the Russo-J Japanese war, leaving them practically without family ties, had centered their affections and devotion upon the late empeior, Mutsuhito, and it was doubtless the case that upon his death the mind of the old warrior suecumbed to the strain.
 Judge Advocate General EnocA Crowder one of the few American army officers who came closely in contact with General Nogi during the Russo Japanese war, regarded Gen eral Nogi as a man of more than usual self poise and self-command The old Samuria instinct, it was plain to be seen, said General Crowder, had strong hold upon his personality and it was doubtless the ancient early faith that brought General Nogi to self de- struction. General Nogi never hal visited America.

 THE CAR OPERATORS.
WOMEN AMONG MOB LEADERS
Motormen Pulled and Dragged From Their Cars and Beaten Until They Are Rescued by cordons of
 the City Police.

Duluth, Minn., Sept. 1S.-Business organizations tonight appealed to Governor Eberhart for troops to help quiet the riotous outbreaks that today compelled the street car company to suspend service after six car men had been injured by strikers and their friends
 Five arrests were made but the po- lice could do little with the crowds. Stone throwers were lost in the mass and there were not enough officers to drive back the attackers.
 Mob violence flung itself up the street and through the city today. for most of the week an ungoverned mass of men has dared the police and wrecked the cars.
 The mob stopped long enough to up- root and destroy a starting station then went on to meet cross current at Lake avenue, where mill hands joined the west enders just as a car came into sight. The conductor and motorman each received thrashing one being pitched through the win. dow. Then the crowd dissolved. On the West End the 5,000 men boys and women stood with missiles A car would clang into the crowd T'hl lmotorman would put on all power | drop on his knees in the yestituleang l try to run through packed humanity but his trolley pole would be pulled from the wire and the crowd, pour ing into the car. would beat the crew until. in some instances, they had td be carried, bruised and bleeding, to drug stores.
 Appeals. demands, charges and counter charges were made today by civic organization heads and munich pal officials. Business organizations are appealing by wire and telephone for state troops to quell the trouble Governor Eberhart is hastening back to St. Paul to look into the Duluth situation. He may order the troops here
 Talk of firing the car barn after dark was heard in the crowds today. The street car company gave up early this afternoon and cafed in it's cars. Many wild rumors were afloat during the day, one declaring that several strike breakers had been killed, but this was untrue.
