An injunction restraining Pitcher
George III. johnson, formerly of the Gin
cinnati team, from playing with the
Kansas City club of the Federal league
club was issued at Chicago by Superior
Judge FoelI The Kansas City club was
also restrained from interfering with
men now under contract with the Gin
cinnati club. The petition set forth
that Johnson, although under contract
with the Cincinnati club, had signed
contract to play with the Kansas City
Feds. The court was informed that the
losing of the services of johnson would
be material damage to the Cincinnati
club. The issuance of the second re-
straining order was asked on the grounds
that the Kansas City club had threatened
to obtain other players now under con-
tract. Deputy sheriffs were later sent
to the Federal league park and served
johnson and the officials of the Kansas
City club with the iniunctions. Before
their arrival johnson had begun to pitch
in the initial game between his club and
the Chicago Federals.

MARKET SHOWS WAR SPIRIT.
Large Dealings in Mexican Securities
Which Suffer Most.

New York, April 25.--On the stock
exchange here yesterday discussion of
the possibilities growing out of more re-
cent developments in Mexico, We're re-
flected in a sharp decline recorded at the
opening Selling came from various
quarters and was accompanied by in
guiries from numerous out of town
points by spectators and investors who
sought first hand information from their
bankers and brokers in the Wall street
district. Europe was again active in
the movement and London as well as
the continental securities market mani
tested acute weakness. Canadian Pa
cifc was again conspicuously weak
feature here, following its severe loss in
London.
Securities having Mexican connec-
tions suffered most in the early deal
ings, which were on large scale. Next
to Canadian Pacific, which was of for
eign origin, the Guggeinheim properties,
Mexican petroleum, eoppers and allied
stocks registered the largest losses.
Stocks became increasingly feverish
toward the end of the first hour. BY
this time more than 100000 shares had
changed hands. Prices fell away again
under the weight of liquidation and in
numerous instances the lower prices of
several years were scored. Many stop
loss orders were uncovered in the course
of the second decline and in some cases
stocks We're unloaded because of inn
paired margins. Losses of two TO three
points were fairly general. In the case
of Mexican petroleum the decline ex-
tended to practically five points.
