OLD LEVEE BOARD Is REFUSED
INJUNCTION.

After consultation with Judges
Skinner and Parker. to whose divi-
sions of the Civil District Court the
two other similar suits were allotted,
Judge Theard on Friday handed down
a decision in the suit of John p. We
zien VS.. Felix Borne, ST., in which Mr..
Vezien, member of the Orleans Levee
Board, sought an injunction to re-
strain Mr.. Borne, appointed by Gov
ernor Pleasant to succeed him, from
attempting to assume the office OF
member of the board or to interfere
with Mr.. vezien in the discharge Of
his duties as such member.
Judge Theard declined to issue the
injunction asked for, principally on
the ground that Mr.. Vezien's petition
lacks the necessary averments to sus.
tain his conclusion as to the length
of his term as member of the Levee
Board.
BY agreement between the three
judges to whose divisions the three
identically alike suits of John p. vi

Judge Theard's decision in the first
named is to apply to the other two.

Tudor de- clared he was being beseiged by charitable organizations and people desiring to obtain hospitals and or pnanages who desire to obtain the estate or at least the income from it. The trustees are convinced, how ever" said Tudor, that nothing can
 be done but to continue the trustee 1 ship indefinitely. We hope that Gar ! land will change his opinion, but if
 not, we will keep the property to give
 to his heirs. We are bound by law
 to make no other disposal of the es- tate"

 ID LIQUIDATION

NEW YORK. Dec. 1.-The stock market was again subjsct 10 liquida- ticn today. leaders of the railway and industrial shares making extreme declines of one to six points but re- covering with surprising ease in the last hos when pressure relaxed.
 Selling was most general at mid day. when it became known that the Southern Pacific Company had conl- pleted plans to Segregate it's oil prop critics rom the railway system. but would withhold it's announcement until after the close Of the San Fran cisco market.
 The break in Southern Pacific, which ran to 3 1-2 points and almost as much is affiliated issues, evident ly arose from misunderstanding or misapprehension arising from the value of the rights" to be given shareholders under the plan to sep arate its oil lands.
 When this dawned upon the shorts there was wild rush to cover and in less than one hours time practi cally all the damage Of the four pre- ceding hours was repaired. Many leaders closed at actual gains of one to three points, and other extreme reactions were largely retrieved
 Sales of 1.025,0 900 shares were the largest of any session since the re- cent upheaval. but it is noteworthy that much of tCday's activity occurr- ed when prices were climbing up- ward.
