ed by the city council at recent meetings,
Deputy Sheriff Henry Lawson has se.red
II. ID. Larabee with papers notifying him
of the petition for an injunction which
asks that the defendant appear within
AZ days.
The papers represent that the street
railway has operated and does operate
without right because of the failure to
comply with certain sections of the fran

declined to accept two bonds filed by
the company, not fulfilling the eondi

the rights, powers and privileges en-
joyed by the company be declared in
valid providing the bond is not filed
within a certain date to the satisfaction
of the council.

DEFENDS WILSON POLICY.
London Chronicle Says People Do Not
Understand His Position.

London, Jan. 2l.-The Daily Chroni.
Gle devotes the most prominent position
on its editorial page to a defense of
President Wilson and his foreign policy,
The Chronicle declares that Mr.. Wilson
occupies position of exceptional diff
Guilty, adding that "if the British press
and public took little more trouble TO
understand him and were more conscious
of the absurdity of lecturing a great
republic on what its president ought to
do it would be much to the advantage
of the AnglO- O-American future"
Discussing the English attitude to-
wards the United States the Chronicle
says:
"There is a section in the British press
that is not treating the United States
strictly as a neutral power. They have
treated the United States as If they
were one of the family.
"A recent number of an American
magazine contains a symposium giving
the reason Of English writers why Amer
lea should come into the war. This is
piece Of gratuitious impertinenee. We
have no business to advise Americans
what line OF policy they should pur-
sue"

WANT PURCHASES DIVIDED.
Central Labor Union Waits Upon the
Barre Charity Department.

A committee from the Central Labor
union and the aldermanic charity com,
mittee met in conference in the council
chamber at city hall last evening, the
meeting having been called at the re.
quest of the labor men. Business for
the union stores, with reference to the
purchase of supplies for the charity de.
partment, was the subject that occupied
the attention of the two committees
Organized labor was represented by Har.
ry Dale as chairman, 5. J.. Cardi, secre-
tary of the Central Labor union, and
Cyrus r. Hall, and the members of the
charity committee present were Alder.
man o. ID. Shurtleff and Alderman A. +.
Bruce.
II was stated that the labor commit
tee had conferred with the overseer of
the poor last week without obtaining
any satisfaction. Members of the char
ity committee referred the labor men
to a clause in the city charter which
nhibits them from debating to the
overseer in the matter of buying sup
plies for the INDECENT. While agreeing,
it was reported this forenoon, that the
G. l.. U. was undoubtedly right in its
contention that the purchases should
be fairly divided, the committee took
occasion to commend the present over
seer for what they described as his ex-
hibition of good judgment in negotia-
ting for supplies.
Alderman Shurtleff told the commit
tee something of his own experience
when he was oyerseer several years ago.
He stated that he had been able to Sc
cure discount by buying supplies from
a single store for a period OF a month.
The labor committee suggested that the
department endeavor to obtain a dis
count from some of the union stores
as well as those that were designated
in the conference by another term.
The conference was the second meet
ing of its kind to grow out of the reg
llar c. L. u. meeting few weeks ago,
when the clergymen of the city, the
1verseer, the mayor and the merchants
we're among those criticised Ten days
lgo labor committee met the clergy
men and after the conference it was
'eported that every clergyman in the
'ity, barring one, who sided with the
was neutral in contests be- |
ween employers and employees.

MAJOR LEAGUE BALL.
American League

st. Louis Brownies are certainly
bound to climb few PAGES higher
in the standing of the American
League clubs, in short while, for
at the present time, they are Win
ming right along and putting up an
exhibition of playing of highest CALI
ber. The Brownies had to go Ia IN
nings yesterday in order to take the
New York Yanks into camp, but
thew went the distance without crack
ing, and registered a decision over
the erstwhile leagues leaders by a
one-run margin.
The Nationals are still one-half
GAGE behind the Tigers, the same
standing as yesterday, owing to the
fact that both these clubs were de-
feated by their opponents, Joe Boeh-
ling being slammed around the lot
yesterday by the Indians, who put
it over the Washington boys by 6
to l, and the Boston Red SoX still
keeping up their winning pace and
defeating the Jungle town athletes.
