ISLANDER CASES UP
Arguments in Newport on
Suits Based on Luncheon Talk
Special Despatch TO The suN.

NEWPORT, April THE damage ac-
tons between Ogden Goldman OF Boston
and George Z. Eustis OF Washington that
grew out OF happenings after a luncheon
party given by Mrs. A. ID. b. Pratt In
her Newport summer home In October
came up to-day for their first hearing in
the Superior Court here.
Mr.. Codman's suit against Mr.. Eustis
for $4,000 damages for an alleged as
kault reached court on motion Of the
former for bill of particulars and for
surety for costs. The motion was
granted
At the luncheon party Mr.. Goldman Ii
alleged to have referred to Mr.. Eustis as
a Germanespy and this particular dam
age suit grows out OF 4 personal en-
counter that took place between the two
men little later in the day.
Mr.. and Mrs. Eustis are suing Mr.
Goldman each for 100000 on charge OF
alleged SANDER or words spoken" and
In these cases the defendants demurrer
was argued.
In substance. tho demurrer was that
II Mr. Goldman charged Mr.. Eustis with
being a spy, he charged him with an
offence that was not punishable under
the laws of the State or country, but by
court martiai, and therefore the charge
was not SANDER Furthermore, Il was
contended that Mr.. Eustis does not set
forth that he Ia a citizen OF the United
States, and owes allegiance TO the United
states, and In consequence he could not
be spy.
Justice BaEows took the cases under
sasassmeak.

they discovered large quantity Of

about to sentence them, young Bellar
asked IL he might road n statement

cause we all come out OF prison worse

Young Bellar then said he was ready
to be sentenced. and Judge Davis called
attention to the fact that under the law
he could be sentenced to ten years.

the boy, 81 could not have the heart to

THAT would not be fair. as you have

"Ill make It two" said Judge Davis.
THAT suits me all right responded
young Bellar.
Judge Davis then asked the boy what
sentence he thought Cazaurang ought &c
get. and young Bellar replied that what
ever the Judge said was o. X. So the
other boy was sentenced to five years
Detectives Of the Staten Island police

right when he said he had been mixed
up In q lot OF crime, He was under ar
rest for completely In about twenty
burglaries, and had also picked pockets
on trolley cars and had been suspected
OF other crimes. They also said that the
boy was one of nine children, all OF

MAY BLOCK BILL
Test Vote On Measure to Prevent Will 1ard-Dempeey Bout Shows Oppo- nents in Minority.

Columbus, O., May 2S.--What is considered a test vote in the Ohio house of representatives yesterday in- dicates that the bill introduced Mon day to give Governor Cox authority to stop the Willard-Dempsey match at Toledo July 4, will fail to pass as an emergency measure. It must be pass ed as such, else will not become ef- fective for ninety days, or too late to hinder plans for the Toledo title match.
 The test came when efforts were made to call the measure up out of its order for immediate pa ssage. With 8 three-fourths vote necessary, so voted for and 48 against the motion to take it up. It consequently did not come up. To pass the bill as an emer- gency measure will require S3 votes, and if opponents hold their present in Giicated strength, not more than 76 votes will be cast to pass the measure as an emergency, which is seven less than required.

Browns Bunch Hits On Higgins Moundsmen-Red Sox Lose Again

St. Louis, Mo-, May 28.-with third place in the balance, Miller Huggns tossed both of his stars, Shawkey and Thormahlen, against the Browns here yesterday, but neither Bob's right hand offerings nor Hubs southside siants could stay the mad rush of Jimmy Burke's crew. The Browns hammered out a 5-to-3 victory and jostled the Yankees out of third place in the American league standing. When the Gothamites left for Cleve- land last evening they were smarting under the fact they had dropped into the last berth in the first division. Sisler drove in three runs.
 X flying start in the mud gave the Browns the laurels. They bagged a run off Shawkey in the first and bounced Bob for a pair in the second Not satisfied, they got to Thormalalen for another pair in the third. Then they subsided and acted real tame during the remainder of the game The two runs the Yankees got off ed by a home run off Bakers bat in the eighth. The Yankees had mum er- ous scoring opportunities, but again failed to show the proper punch" in the ptnches. The score;
