CONTEST I3 RENEWED Chicago Lawyer Takes Up Illi- neis Central Fight. PLANS TO APPEAL DECISION Declares He Will Give Highest Court a Chance to Pass on the Question of Union Pacific Domination of 1lli- nois Railroads. Chicago, March 2—Henry W. Le- man, who was one of the counsel for Stuyvesant Fish in the recent Illinois Central case decided by Judge Ball adversely (o the contentions made by Mr. Fish, has filed a Dbill in the su- perior court seeking to enjoin the Unlen Pacific Railroad company and the Railroad Securities company from voting 281,231 shares of Illinois Cen- tral stock at the annual meeting to be held here shortly. Thirty-seven per- sons, among them Edward H. Harri- man, in whose names the 281,231 shares In question stand, are also made defendants to the suit. Mr. Leman was asked why the bill was filed and the object of filing it. “I gave the advice,” he said, “on which the original bill was filed. When the injunction Was refused Mr. Fish and his associates determined not to continue the litigation Dbecause it would take (wo or three years to reach a result. I may have been wreng in my advice, or I may be right. I am a stockholder in the Ili- nofs Central and a citizen of Illinois Miss H jand I want to find out whether the - - Miss Hanson Iilinois Central and every other rail- road in this state can be dominated by the Union Pacific railroad. I am backed by no man, although a num- ber of other stockholders have asked to join me in having this question determined. I do not expect Judge Ball to reverse his decision denying the injunction, but the question of voting that stock is very important and ought to be determined and the court of last resort will be given an opportunity to pass upon it. I have money enough to pay the expenses of the litigation and I am determined to go to the end with the case and se- cure an adjudication which will be final.” ACCUSED BY DYING GIRL.

STATE TROOPS ON GUARD Under ltalians at Kentwood, La., Armed Protection. Kentwood, La., March 2—Kent- wood is under guard of state troops to prevent the threatened violence agains( Italians. Within the last two days selfstyled vigilantes have warned scores of Italians to leave town if they did not wish to be blown up with dynamite. Frightened Ital- lans left so rapidly that the Italian population of 200 was reduced by aboul half. The main complaint against these foreigners was that they had accept- ed without contest a cut in wages from $1.75 to $1.25 a day in the lum. ber mills, where most of them were employed. The presence of the militia appears to have removed all danger, at least for the present. The soldlers were called out after local officials had conferred with the authorities at the state capitol. The Italian trouble here was sim- ilar to that which recently occurred in other parts of the state, In which natives undertook violently to drive cheap foreign labor away from lumber mills. In the other disturbances at least one foreigner was killed and several badly wounded. FOUR BURNED TO DEATH. Number of Others Injured in Fire at Pittsburg.

A nineteen-year-old girl jumped from a window, breaking three ribs, and John Kalinkowski, occupylng an adjoining house, which was destroyed, threw his wife and feur children out of the win- dow into the arms of a policeman and all were more or less injured. The fire started from an overturned lamp exploding and within a short time the Viacak and Kalinkowski homes were in flames. The members of both families, with,many boarders, were sleeping in the upper portion of the houses and when they found the exits blocked by flames a panic result- ed. The boarders jumped from the windows and later attempted to enter the house and save their valuables. An extra squad of police was sum- moned and' great difficulty was ex- perienced in restraining the excited foreigners. FRENCH ASSUME OFFENSIVE General d’Amade Begins Operations Against Moors.

WILL TIE UP INDUSTRY. New England Granite Workers Ex- pected to Strike. Boston, March 2.—The granite in- dustry of New England is threatened with a tie up which may result in the suspension of thousands of granite workers. The adoption of a new sched- ule of wages to replace that which is now in effect is the point at issue. The situation in Quincy, Mass.; Barre, Vt.; Concord, N. H., and Wes- terly, R. I, the four large centers, is almost identical as regards the de- hands of the unions, which are gen- erally uniform and are apparently centered on a schedule calling for a minimum scale of 41 cents per hour. The manufacturers, on the other hand, seem united on the present scale, call- ing for a minimum of 37% cents and an average of 40 cents an hour. WILL REMAIN CLOSED.

Bryan arrived here from Memphis, Tenn., accompanied by several mem- bers of the legislative reception com- mittee, and delivered an address be- fore a joint session of the legislature at the Century theater.

Mr. Bryan was asked concerning a paragraph in the current issue of the Commoner read- ing as follows: “Watch the personnel of the dele- gatlons to Denver. Money is being used in some of the states of the Mis- sissippl valley to secure delegations who will be obedient to the predatory WILLIAM J. BRYAN. Interests. The Democratic masses must not be betrayed by representa- tives of that system.” ‘When asked concerning the evi- dence in support of this charge Mr. Bryan said: “I wrete that paragraph myself and know what I am talking about. I have my information from a man who overheard a conversation on the sub- ject.” ‘When asked to name the interests he says are behind the movement Mr. Bryan replied: “I am convinced that it is the inter- ests representing the trusts and the railroads. Thkey do not hope to pre- vent instructed delegations in the Mississippi Valley states, but they are trying to get a personnel of dele- gates who will be unfriendly to my nomination.” AFTER THE PAPER TRUST. Head of Publishers’ Association at Washington. Washington, March 2—Herman Rid- der, president of the American News- paper Publishers’ association and ed- itor of the Staatts Zeitung of New York, called upon President Roose- velt and Attorney General Bonaparte in connection with the fight of his association upon the white paper trust. Mr. Ridder laid before Attor- ney General Bonaparte at the depart- ment of justice evidence to show that the paper trust is violating the Sher- man anti-trust law. At the White House Mr. Ridder took up the question of urging congress to repeal the duty on white paper and wood pulp from which the paper is made. Some months ago the presi- dent told a committee from the pub- lishers’ association that he favored a repeal of the duty, but whether he will call the attention of congress to the subject in a special message is not definitely known. Mr. Ridder said he could not talk about what the president had said. Speaker Cannon was at the White House at the same Uime Mr. Ridder was there, but they did not confer on this question, Mr. Ridder having talked with Speaker Cannon previously.

Charge of Jury Bribing in Graft Case Without Foundation, Harrisburg, Pa., March 2.—District Attorney John F. Weiss has ordered the release of E. C. Humphreys, who was arrested charged by private de- tectives with having attempted to in- fluence Albert A. Poist, a juror in the capitol furniture conspiracy case.

Poist. The relations between Messrs. Poist and Humphreys were of a business nature and were entirely Pproper.” Humphreys was at once released from jail. Humphreys was arrested by the police on information furnished by private detectives, who, on behalf of the state, have been keeping in con- stant touch with the movements of the jurors ever since the trial began five weeks ago. ‘The detectives who have been watching Poist saw a messenger boy call at the juror's home and leave a note and when the boy left the house the detectives stopped him and asked from whom he had received it.

Hill of the navy was the first witness called before the senate committee on naval affairs. He is one of the officers mentioned by Admiral Converse as inclined to criti- cise some of the features of our naval construction and he was summoned to explain his reasons for his attitude. It developed that his criticism had been directed solely at the location of the armor belt and he insisted on con- fining his testimony to that point. “Our ships,” he said, “are very good ships, but I believe there are certain specific errors which should be rem- edied and the location of the water line armor belt of our battleships is, according to my opinion, one of these defects.” Mr. Hill said that last October the secretary of the navy decided to ap- point a board to investigate these matters, but later decided not to do s0. At that time he prepared a report and had letters bearing on the con- troversy to submit to the board. He had submitted the papers to the sec- retary showing his criticism and pro- posed remedy of the defects. KILLS THREE CHILDREN. Ohio Woman Then Ends Her Own Life. Baltimore, O., March 2.—Mrs. J. C.

Indianapolis, March 2.—President John Mitchell of the United Mine Workers of America has sent out the official call for a national convention of the miners to meet here March 12 to consider the situation resulting from the failure of the operators and miners of the Central competitive field to agree on the proposition to call a joint convention to re-establish the interstate wage agreement and adopt a scale of wages, The national miners’ convention will adopt a policy to be pursued after March 31, when the present wage scale expires, and probably will de- cide upon its wage demands for the next two years. A plan to shut down all of the mines in one big strike and thus try to force settlements by com- petitive districts will probably be con- sidered by the convention. STRIKE MAY RESULT. Denver and Rio Grande Abrogates Contracts With Employes. Denver, March 2.—After a short conference with General Manager Ridgeway of the Denver and Rio Grande system a committee of the machinists employed on the system was informed that the company will abrogate its contracts after March 4 and after that date will not recognize the Machinists,’ Blacksmiths,’ Car Re- pairers’ or Boilermakers’ unions.
