PLAYED THEIR TRUMP CARD. & Crisis Arrives in the New Clothing Trade Fight. New Yorx, March 29.—Today will probably mark the crisis in the straggle between the Clothing Manufacturers’ Association and the cutters. The association has quietly played | what is expected to prove a winning card in the contest. Going secretly before Justice Lawrence yes- terday afternoop two or three of its representa- tives obtained summonses compelling the leaders of the United Garment Workers and of the Federation of Labor to appear in court and show cause why the organizations should not be restrained from boycotting their former em- plovers’ goods, The service of the summonses was delayed until midnight, when they were served upon | Chas. F. Retchers by a coart officer. The delay was intended. and it had precisely that effect upor the labor organizations which the mann- facturers had hoped it would produce. | The leaders were thrown at once into confu- sion. It was necessery to obtain counsel and they did not know whom to select. ‘The nares of Messrs. Choate, Ingersoll and other well- known lawyers were successively proposed. Objections were raised in every instance, however, and at 10:30 o'clock this. morning the leaders of the locked-out men had no idea rho would defend them in the supreme court half an hour later. ‘The act of the manufacturers was also dis- couraging to the cutters at large. thev have felt certain of securing the aid of the 1,000 or more tailors in this city. ‘This morn- ing they admitted that ifan injunction were granted it still would be a question whether or not the tailors would strike in sympathy. It was also conceded thatif the manufacturers | gained their point a result of the trouble | favorable to the cutters was extremely doubt- ful. At 11:15 o'clock Lawyer Herman Fromme of 182 Naeau street appeared in the supreme court before Justice Lawrence, representing Samuel Gompers, Harry White, Charles F. Reichers, A. J. Felzand A. Suesman, the leaders upon whom the summonses ‘obtained by the manufacturers had been served. Lawyer ‘romme had not been engaged until 11 o'clock and was utteriy unprepared for the case. He intimated that he would move for an adjourn- ment for a week. When Mr. Charles F. Reichers, who was pres- ent, heard what the lawyer was going to do, he called him into the hall, and aftera few minutes Lawyer Fromme decided to ask to have the ap- | plication for an injunction refused. In the affidavit by the manufacturers the plaintiffs, which include nearly all the leading clothing firms in New York, after reviewing the general history of the troubies, asked that an injunction be issued restraining ‘the locked-out men from boveotuing them. the country asking the manufacturers to cease buying their goods until the present troubles are ended. a BEING TOWED INTO PORT. A North German Lloyd Steamer With Dis- abled Machinery. New Yorx: March 29.—The Teutonic, which arrived from Liverpool this morning, reports that on March 29 at 1:40.a.m., latitude 40.32, longitude 70.32, she passed the from Southampton for New York, having in tow a North German Lloyd steamer with ma- chinery disabled. The steamer had two masts, provably steamer Strassburg (German) from emen for New York March 12.

She has whom are first-class. “The value of the Strasburg and the cargo is worth certainly over $1,000,000, so that the amount of salvage will be large. —_—_—— CHOLERA SCARE AT DETROIT. Immigrants Prevented From Entering From Canada. Dernorr. Mich., March 2°.—The cholera scare is back again. Atrain load of 130 immigrants was stopped at Windsor yesterday afternoon upon orders from Warhington. Dr. Dutffield has refused them entrance into Detroit until satisfactory evidence is furnished that they have undergone proper disinfection. The custom officer received a dispatch Mon- day from Acting Secretary Spaulding at Wash- ington to the effect that 400 immigrants from Hamburg for Toledo, Detroit, Cleveland, Chi- cago and elsewhere had arrived at Halifa: Strict quarantine regulations at Detroit m enjoined... Yesterday another dispatch relating to the batch of immigrants was received as follo “Certificates of disinfection of council at Ham- burg are probably not obtainable. In lieu of that any evidence that satisfies the local board of health officers that the effects may be safely admitted will be accepted. No specified time is fixed for detention of immigrants further than it must satisfactorily appear that they may be safely admitted. These instructions apply to the present case only.” By orders of the customs ofiicials the two car loads of immigrants were at once switched at the Canadian Yacifie slip, where they are now. ‘The immigrants now in Windsor cannot come over to Detroit except by authority of City Health Officer Duffield. Customs Collector ‘Tillman bas issued orders to that effect to his men, and if any attempt is made to bring them over on the authority of the state board of health it will fail. Several car loads of immigrants from Port Huron passed through Detroit Monday after- noon without inspection, About forty of them | stopped in Detroit. Health Officer Duffield is greatly put out by the circumstance. He says it was a case of culpable negligence on the part of the officials whose business it is to watch the railroads, ——E WHEAT FALLS WITH A RUSH.

When | the derrick, the car and stationary engine upset | the dozen men were hurled in all directions, some of them jumping for their lives. A freight train was passing slowly under at the time, and one excited man jumped between two freight cars, luckily landing on the bump- ers and being only slightly hurt. ‘Two laborers. Thomas Radley, aged forty-six years, of New Brunswick, and James Struckey, ‘aged ‘nineteen, of Newark, were badly cut | about the head’and bruised about the body and were taken to the Elizabeth Hospital. Half a dozen others sustained slight cuts and bruises. Some of the men had little short of miraculous escapes from being run over jby the passing freight train, as they jfell to the ground within a foot of the wheels, Tho trestle at this point is eighteen feet high. The acci- dent was caused by too much weight being put and derrick rested. —<—$—< THE MITCHELL-WARD TRAGEDY. The Case Against Lillie Johnson at Last Dismissed.

THE ROCK CREEK PARK. A Question of Payment for Legal Services Referred to the Court of Claims. ‘The question of the allowance of compensa- | tion to Mr. R. Ross Perry and Judge Cole and | Assistant District Attorney Tagrart for | legal services rendered the government in | the long contest carried on in the courts, over the acquisition of Rock Creek Park has been referred by the Treasury De partment to the Court of Claims, under & statute providing for _ reference to that Court of Claims of «certain character. The amount of the compensation asked was practically fixed by the Court in General Term. The matter when pre- sented to court, was referred ‘the to the auditor of the court’ to determine the amount to be awarded. The auditor took the testimony ofanumber of members of the bar and the minimum fee named ax a just compensation for the many months given. by Mr. Perry almost exclusively to the government'scase was $20,000. ‘The auditor reported in favor of this amount and the report was approved by the court. The court, however, doubted ite authority to " direct ’ payment, believing that the questions arising should be sed upon by the accounting officers of the ury. So the matter went to the ‘Treasury and has hence to the Court of Claims, the question at issue being not the amount of the compensation, but the right to any amount out of the appro- | priation for legal services. Mr. in making a claim for compensation for his legal sorvices expressly waived all claim to the perdiom compensation allowed by the Rock Creek Park act to the civilian members of the commission, and so if an allowance is made for his professional work he will not receive any compensation as a member of the park commission. ——_ LIQUOR DEALERS MEET. of the President to the Ke- porters Which Did Not Go.

SENATOR MANTLE’S CASE. Mr. Hoar (Mass. called up, as « question of | privilege, the resolution reported by him from the committee on privileges and elections de- claring that Lee Mantle is entitied to be ad- mitted to his seat as Senator from the state of | Montana. Mr. Harris (Tenn.) enggested that the Senate | ‘was not ready to act on the question, as the re- | ports of the minority and majority had only | delivered today. Mr. Hoar said that his reason for calling up | the subject today was that some Senators who | were about to leave the city today desired to ad- | dress the Senate. ! The resolution was taken up and Mr. Pagh (Ala. ), who had joined in the report of the ma- | Jority, i toaddress \ae Senate in favor | t report. importance of the question presented would be, he said. conceded. as well fs the necessity for a solution of it by the Sen- | ate that would be accepted hereafter as final. | Unfortunately the decision of the same question | heretofore had been influenced more or less by | the fact that the governor's appointee was a | democrat or a republican, as was shown by the | division of the votes of Senators on party lines. | He argued from the debates in the constitu- tional convention that “the existence of the vacancy from any cause” was the cracial test of the power of the sorarnee $0 Si tho vo- cancy. The vacancy “happened,” he argued, if it existed. pec ie After along discussion the question as to admission of Mr. Mantle as Senator from Mon- tana went over until tomorrow. Mr. Power of Montana then bronght up asa matter of persona! privilege a statement reflect- ing upon him,which appeared in this morning's Post and which was a quotation from a speech of Mr. Turpie some two or three years ago. | Mr. Power declared that he courted and de- | | manded a most careful and thorough inspec- | | Hon of every statement and insinuation. i the matter to the committee on privileges and | elections, Objection to the immediate con- sideration of the resolution was made) by Mr. Gorman, who suggested that if such a | matter were taken up it should be made gen eral, and the investigation should apply to all | Senators on both sides of the chamber. | ‘The matter went over without action and the | Senate then proceeded to the consideration of executive business. ——___-e-+-______ THE ROACH INVESTIGATION. Itis Probable That Senator Hoar’s Resolu- tion Will Be Broadened in Scope. ‘The disposition of the resolution for an in- Vestigation of the charges preferred in the pross | against Senator William Roach of North | Dakota will not probably receive atten- | tion until the cases of the Senators ap-| pointed by the governors, which are now | under consideration by the Senate, have been | disposed of. The democrats have taken no | action in the matter, and no plan of procedure has been determined upon. The resolution will | probably be referred to a committee, and ifany changes are to bemade in its construction they | will be made there. | It is almost certain. as intimated in yester- | day's Stan, that the democrats will not allow the resolution to only include the case of Senator Roach, and if the matter i they will insist that the investi- | gation will be broad enough to cover the status | ofall Senators, without regard to length of service or ty OF present good standing. | Since this question was brought up there has | been a diligent search of the records to dis- | cover a precedent, but no case has been found | AT THE WHITE Hovser.
