MORGAN DECIDES
 RENT CASE FOR THE PLAINTIFF
Justice Finds That Rent Is Not Exorbitant in Golas
 vs. White.

Justice of the Peace Frederick Morgan has reached decision in the eviction case of Golas vs. White.
 According to the finding of MT. Morgan, "the national interests and public safety are not jeopardized by thep laintiff, and the rent is neither unreasonable or exorbitant."
 In the opinion of the court the all legations of the plaintiff were ad- |, mitted to be true, and as William B. Burton had ably and thoroughly in- vestigated the case, MT. Morgan did i not find 1t necessary to order an in vestigation of the case by Prosecut- ing Attorney Delaney.
 { Decision therefore was rendered in favor of the plaintiff for possession of the premises in question, and the costs of suit were awarded to him. : Execution will, however, not be is- sued prior to July 8 at II a. m, at which time counsel may appear be- 1Dre the court at his office and be heard in relation to the time of issu- ance. of execution and regarding the taxation of costs.
 These eviction cases are exciting a great deal of interest and while the decision of Justice Morgan will not affect the decisions in the cases which are to come up in city court, this case i being the first, has been watched and will materially affect the, proce- dure of the other cases. Upon the ap- 1 pointment of thr rent commission all cases will be handled by it exclu- sively.

GRANDMA KNIT SOCKS
 WHEN SHE WAS ASLEEP

(F'rom the Rochester t-Express)
 T never saw more industrious woman than that Mrs. Crum," the teacher remarked before the Ken lucky mountain boys and girls gath cred at tie school dinner table. Why even when I meet her on the road she pulls her yarn and needles out of her pocket and goes to knitting!"
 Teachers manifestation of surprise brought forth volley of calculations from the children. each of whom had mother, aunt or cousin who was equally ardent at wool working.
 "Oh," exclaimed one little fellow, reaching the climax of the discus sion, 'I had a grandmother who was the knittiest woman I ever knowed. She used to take her knitting to bed with her, and every few minutes she woked up and throwed out pair O. socks"

SAILOR IS HELD
 AS SLAYER OF
 CHURCH ORGANISE

New York, July 15-Walter Hughes, a sailor, said by the po11u~ to have been one of the crew U. s. c. President Lincoln when she was torpedoed, was held by Magistrate Mancuso in the Harlem court yes terday on.a a charge of homicide. He is charged with causing the death of August A. Kimmer of No. 68 East S7th street, who was found. early yes terday morning lying on the sidewalk in front of No. 1155 Park avenue, his skull fractured. Kimmel was remov- ed to Bellevue Hospital, where he died.
 kimme1 was thirty-nine years old. He was the organist for fifteen years of the Church of the Incarnation, at 31st Street and Second Avenue.
 Detective Somers of the East 88th Street police station, who made the complaint against Hughes, declares that the sailor had a quarrel with Kimmel at Third Accrue and 91st street. Hughes is said to have com- plained that kimmel followed him from a car and made. some insulting remark.
 So far the police have not pro- duced any one who saw any blows struck, but they say that Hughes fin ally knocked Kimmell down when they reached Park Avenue. Kim mel's skull was fractured by the fall to the pavement, according to the police.
 Kimmel was found lying on the sidewalk about ten minutes after the two were seen quarelling. When the police arrived in response to a teIe- phone call from some unknown per son, no one was in sight.
 Hughes was arrested near his home at No. 116 East sgd Street. After being held by the Magistrate without bail for further examination next Tuesday, Hughes said that he had not caused Kimmers death.

LYONS NAMES
 WILSON BRIDGE
Nearly 100000 Persons Wit ness Ceremony of Dedica-
 tion in French City.

Lyons, July 15-This city's celebra- ton was one of the most eventful in it's history. American, Ambassador Sharp arrived here Saturday night as guest of the Prefect.- Tho town was filled with visitors and soldiers, the American troops in the line of march yesterday afternoon being for the first time seen by the Lyonese. The ceremonies began with a re- view of troops in which attachments of Americans of the French Foreign Legation and of Italians took part. Then the procession moved to the new | President Wilson Bridge where 1t is estimated between 350,000 and 400,- 1 900 persons thronged the banks of the river
 After speeches by the Prefect and the Mayor a small boy5 dressed in blue, speaking for the children from i the invaded region, thanked Presi- i dent| Wilson through Ambassador Sharp for American help and sym | pathy for the destitute children. The | lad concluded with a salute and se- parate cheers for the United States, 1 France and the Allies.
 Ambassador Sharp prefaced his speech with en impromptu tribute to the French children, who, he said, ! explained to him the greatness of the French nation. In his speech he compared the bridge which he was inaugurating to the constant arrival of ships in France from the United States. The Ambassador said:
 That grand transoceanic bridge has already safely permitted the pas sage of more than a million Ameri- can fighting men to the shores Of France, together with their needs and supplies. Many more will follow. Submarines shall never be permit ted to destroy that bridge.
 When a just benefcent peace comes again to the world this inter national ocean bridge will become a highway leading to the great walls of your great city, providing means for the mutual exchange of Allied pro- ducts. In that day of peace shall we not all find the truth of the saying that necessity is the mother of in vention, and finds means to do with out products which it was heretofore supposed could only be manufactured by processes of enemy countries? | Mdy tie strength oI lHlS pedutLIul creation of builders art symbolize the bonds of attachment which unite our two peoples; it's beauty the gauge of their mutual affection, and it's utility their lasting prosperity"
 When MT. Sharp concluded an American brigade at the express wish of the municipality led the way across the President Wilson Bridge. British, Italian and French troops followed, and then came the Ambassador with the official cortege. The remainder of the day was crowded with various | ceremonies.
