RAIN POSTPONES FINAL
CONTEST Witty YANKEES
Nationals Off for St. Louis-Grif-
fifth and Johnson Con-
fer Again.
BY ]. ED GRILLo.

NEW YORK. June 1.-The final game
of the Nationals series with the Yam
KEGS had to be called off TODAY. It ran
ed all night and is still drizzlins. The
Nationals will leave here at O'Clock
this afternoon, which will bring them
into St. Louis about o'clock tomorrow
afternoon.
Walter johnson and Manager Griffith
were in conference for more than two
hours this morning, but the result OF
their talk was not given out, probably
because there is no change in the situa-
ton.
The fact that the Brooklyn Fedora
League club has offered Johnson
enty-five-thousand-d dollar bonus to sign
contract is proving quite an induce
ment. Johnson naturally wants to ge
all the money he can out of his pitching
days, and while he admits he does no
want to leave the Washington club, he
insists on getting more money than wal
ever paid ball player.
Griffith is known to have made some re
markable propositions to Johnson. but al
yet they have been unable to come t
terms. and if Johnson insists on having
the Federal League offer equaled thu
chances are he will not be able to max,
arrangements with Griffith.

for friends to witness it, Tullia is per-
suaded by her mother, against her real
desire, to consent to be a bride. The
Pisos and friends return and the be-
trothal ceremony is performed.
The second act is the wedding cere-
mony, in the presence of the two fami-
lies and friends. First the religious
ceremony, then joining of hands by
Pronuba, or matron of honor, and final
ly prayers to Jupiter and Juno by
Pontifex and FNIamen.
In the third scene the bride is taken,
apparently by force, from her mother s
arms, a survival of the custom of
marriage by capture. Then, after
eating the mustaceum, or wedding cake
all go in procession to the bride

hymn. Here the bride anoints the

George Gallup of Boston viii lead

work of agricultural improvement

TAFT ORDER ANNULLED.
California Judge Holds That Former
President Exceeded Authority.

LOS ANGELES, Calf, June "A
withdrawal order by which William H.
Taft in 1909, while president exempt
ed from entry government lands IN
California, variously estimated in val
ne at from S250,00O, 900 to $1,000,000,-
600, was declared invalid in a decision
BY Judge Maurice 7. Dooling of the
United States district court of San
Francisco. which reached here by mail
Yesterday. Judge Dooling heard the
ease in Los Angeles, sitting in place of
Judge Olin Wellborn, who considered
himself disqualified.
The former president had planned to
provide a great source of fuel for the
American navy by exempting the oil
lands from entry by private locators.
The decision gives the Midway oil
company and the Standard oil com
pany, the principal defendants, undis-
putefs possession. Similar minor ae-
lions now pending will be affected by
the decision.
Judge Dooling, in his ruling, says:
''The effect of these withdrawal or
ders is to suspend the mineral laws of
the United States. The executive
power cannot permanently affect such
legislation. | am not content to seek
for authority for these Withdrawals
in the dieta of decisions or in some
shadowy twilight zone lying between
the powers expressly granted to Con
press and the powers expressly granted
/ to the President.
| "The PRONUNCIATION of the withdraw
! al orders in question, [ believe to be
| one ramifcation of growing tendency
to concentrate in the executive more
power than can be traced to any spe
| cifc constitutional or Legislative posi-
! ton. I, therefore, will deny the APP,
| plication for an order restraining the
| defendants from further use of the
| land. -

Declares Separation from New
Haven is Absolutely
Necessary
DISCUSSES QUESTION
OF STATE OWNERSHIP
Makes Proposal of Referendum Vote
on Question of State Ownership of
B. & M. Stock Now Held by New
Haven.

BOSTON, June ,. GOV. Walsh s
long -looked-for message on the separa-
ton Of the Boston & Maine and New
Haven railroads was sent to the legis-
lature yesterday afternoon, accom-
panied by copy of the agreement
reached by the federal department of
justice ana the New Haven railroad
by which the separation is to be
brought about and the control of the
Boston & Maine vested in board of
five trustees. The salient points in the
message are:
That the Massachusetts voters in /
statewide referendum pass upon the
question of state ownership of the
Boston & Maine railroad stock held by
the Boston Railroad Holding com
pany, this provision to be incorporated
in the proposed enabling legislation
or made the subject of a special act.
That the first and fundamental step
to be taken is the complete divorce Of
the Boston & Maine from the New
Haven. This, the governor declares.
can be accomplished without business
disturbance aud is now desired by the
New Haven railroad for financial and
That after separation must come a
complete reorganization of the Boston
& Maine, so that instead of a system
made up Of leased lines, which have
proved burdensome, there shall be but
one corpora ton.
The governor explains that under
| the agreement relative to the trus
| teeship, the trustees or liquidators must

/ pany, within two and a half years. bu
must not dispose of it to any interes
or person connected directly or III
| directly with the New Haven.
The governor has no bill to submit
| with his MESA e, leaving with IA,
/ legislature the question of preparing
the enabling legislation that will bring
about a solution of the railroad prob
lem, which, he emphasized, involve,
i the prosperity of New England ant
should not admit Of delay.
i "Two other railroad problems re
main unsettled, said the governor i
the concluding paragraphs of his mes
sage, namely, the disposition of tn
Berkshire trolieys and the refnancin,
of the New Haven railroad. In orde
