The Supervisors’ Committee on Artifi- cial Lights decided yesterday to invite bids for the electric lighting of public buildings and streets, so that for the next fiscal year there will be two contracts of six months each. The bids will be consid- ered separately and the awards will be made to the lowest bidder. This plan in- sures the submission of competitive rates, as the Independent Light and Power Com- pany will not be prepared to furnish elec- tric lights_throughout the city until the second half of the fiscal year. It was also decided to call for bids for the electric llfhtlnx of each public build- ing instead of for all, as heretofore, the two contracts to be for six months each. The plans prepared by Gas Insepctor Tup- er call for he lighting of 462) gas lamps. ot the namber was reduced to 000, which is considered sufficient to light the city. The requirement that the bidders must have connecting p:ges and wires with the as inspector's office in order that the figma may be tested was ordered elim- inated from the specifications.

Mayor Phelan, with the Street Commit- tee of the Supervisors, City Engineer Grunsky and Engineer Story of the Santa Fe Company, visited South San Francisco vesteri'ay to investigate the application of the Santa Fe for a franchise on Illinois street. This franchise if granted will not be exclusive, but any other company may use the tracks, paying an equal share of the cost of maintenance. The committee will probably make a favorable recom- mendation after inserting conditions fa- vorable to the city. Thomas W. Hickey, GOLDEN AGES OF LITERATURE. Copyright, 1800, by Seymour Eaton.

TEMPOR;;{Y INJUNCTION AGAINST PRESS ASSOCIATION New York Corporation Prevented From Using the Name It Had Selected. CHICAGO, June 12.—Judge Gibbons is- sued a temporary injunction on the complaint of the Inter Ocean Publish- ing Company restraining “The Associated | Press of New York” from doing business under the name of “The Associated Press.” The bill of complaint sets forth the vari- ous acts which led up to the decision of the Supreme Court compelling the Asso- ciated Press of Illinois to furnish its news to the Inter Ocean Publishing Company, refers to the entering of the decree May 17, 190, in accordance with the mandate of the court, and gives in detail thelre- cent meeting of the Associated Press, when several of the old officers resigned and new officers were elected. According to the allegations of the bill the change in officers was for the pur- pose of aliowing the organization of a new Hssociation which would gradually take on the business of the association against which the judicial ruling had been made. The Inter Ocean Publishing Company as a shareholder in the Associated Press of Tilinols objects to the organization of the new Associated Press on the ground that its only object is to succeed to the busi- ness of the Associated Press of Ilinols. The sult is against the Associated Press (incorporated under the laws of the State of New York), Melville E. Stone, general manager; Stephen O'Meara, Adolph Ochs, St. Clair MeKelway, William L. McLean, Frank B. Noyes and A. H. Below, direc- tors of the new organization. The tem- porary injunction restrains the defendants from “doing business under the name of “The Associated Press” and from interfer- ing with or fronrattempting in any manner to Injure or destroy the business of the Associated Press of Illinois and from in- terfering with the business thereof, or en- deavoring to cause any party, firm or cor- poration to annul or cancel or break its contract with the Associated Press of Il- linois and from sending any eircular to the members of the Associated Press of Illinois, or in any other manner soliciting or asking them to join and become mem- bers of the Associated Press.incorporated under the laws of the State of New York. A prayer asking that the temporary re- straining order be made perpetual is ap- pended to the bill. Attached to the complaint are the by- laws of the new organization and coples of letters purporting to have been sent out by the officers of the new association out- lining the plan and purpose of the Asso- clated Press of New York. THOMPSON ATTACKS LABOR ORGANIZATIONS Says They Are the Greatest Existing Menace to the Govern- ment. WASHINGTON, June 12.—Henry F. De- vens of New York, assistant Secretary of the Metal Trades Association, was before the Industrial Commission to-day. He gave the employe version of the Chi- cago settlement with the International Machinists’ Association. He spoke with confidence on the benefits to be de- rived from the arbitration clause in the agreement, saying that he believed it _would prove an efficient method of | setiling all difficulties in the future. He also expressed the opinion that a board of arbitrators composed of men in the work would more acceptable than a State board. N. F. Thompson, seeretary of the South- ern Industrial Convention of Huntsville, Ala., made a somewhat sensational attack upen labor unions. “Labor organizations are to-day,” sald Thompson, “the great menace to this Government that exists in- side or outside the pale of our national domain, Their influence for disruption and disorganization of soclety is far more dan- gerous to the perpetuation of our Govern- ment In its purity and power than would | be the hostile array on our borders of the | armies of the entire world combined.” e WORK OF A TORNADO. ‘j Does Much Damage to Farms, but No Lives Are Lost.
