GTON TELLS OF THE ROADSIDE COURT Justice Dyer and Constable Harris Befuse to Testify in the Abduction Case. secial Dispatch to The Call SAN JOSE, June 25.—The trial of Wong , accused of complicity in the abduc- on of Kim Quey, is attracting a great deal of attention. The courtroom was crowded to-day, among the audience be- ing a large number of ladies. Attorney B. A. Herrington resumed the stand. ~He tcld the story of his connec- tion with the case, the ride to Palo Alto and the trial of Kim Quey in the road HERRIN ¥ at midnig He said that Deputy Con- stable Harrls, Wong Fong and Wong Hing Ding_were near by when he| met Justice Dyer after the latter returned | from Menlo-Park about 2 o'clock in the morning. Herrington stated to the Jus- tice that Harris was desirous of return- ing to San Jose, and was going to take thé girl with him. Justice said he did not care what Harris did with the girl, just so she was returned for trial. Wong Ding wanted to know if a second trip to_Falo Alto could not be avoided. ‘Witness said be then proposed to the justice to hold_court, as the girl would plead guilty. Harris and Dunsmoor then produced the girl. Wong Fong was sworn as interpreter, and through her Kim Quey leaded guilty. Justice Dyer fined her ¥, which Wong Hing Ding paid. Her- rington said he then asked the justice Kim Quey then got into the buggy with Wong Fong and Wong Hing Ding. She stating through an interpreter that she nted to g0 with the latter. Witness said he was informed that she said Wong Hing Ding was her friend. Justice of the Peace Dyer of Palo Alto was called as a witness, but he refused to answer on the ground that it might incriminate himself. Deputy Constable Harris of this city also took refuge be- hind the same constitutional objection. Both of these witnesses were jointly in- dicted on the same charge of abduction. oA i Lights Out at Midnight. Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE.

Judge Adams Grants an Injunction Restraining Union Leaders From Interfering With Cars Car- rying U. 8. Mails. P R S S8T. LOUIS, June 25.—Gradually the mys- tery of the enormous dynamite explosions under cars of the Transit Company and the alleged plot to blow up the bridge of the company over the River Des Peres is being unraveled. The police authorities are inclined to believe that by following certain clews given by Nathan J. Ferrand, a Transit Company detective, they may be able to prove that at least some of the actual dynamiting was done by persons in the employ of that company, not at the in- stance ‘of the company, but in order to enkance the reputation of the Transit de- tectives by giving them opportunities to make pretense of doing Sherlock Holmes work. Judge Elmer B. Adams of the United States District Court to-day granted a temporary injunction in the case of W. D. Manon and all the members of Division No. 131 of the Amalgamated Association of Street Rauway tnpioyes of Ame: restraining them from interfering in any way with the running of mail cars over the lines of the St. Louis Transit Com- pany. Inis decision was reached after listen- ing to inc arguments of counsei for the strikers and United States District Attor- ney Kozier and 1¢ reamusilg Ol Humerous ndavits supbmrtted by botu sides. None of the defendants was present. They were represented by W. 8. Anthony, while Distriet Attorneys Hitcheock ana Rozier acted for the Government. In summing up the contents of the af- fidavits presented Mr. Anthony declared that it was not shown that any of the defendants named had been guilty of law- leseness. “On the contrary,” he added, “the strike leaders and all the members of the Street Railway Men's Union have counseled law and order. The Transit Company is not responsible perhaps for ihe unsettled conditions which existed, but it Is the union men who have been made to suffer and bear the brunt of all disturbances. The president of the union, Sherman Pat- terson, is.now in the hospital as the re- sult of being stabbed by an assassin.” At the conclusion ‘of the arguments Judge Adams rendered’ his decision sub- stantiaily as follows: : It is conceded the defendants that this court has jurlsdiction over the Tmum at is- sue, In the case of the United tes against Debs it was held that where it was shown there was unlawful interference with the malls or with 'interstate commerce the power of the Court ‘of Chancery couid be Invoked. The au- cat, | thority of the Government is binding upon all the nflnle, No distinction is made for the young o o A fendanix have been shown by the affdavits instrumentali- | ties and the agencies of the Federal Govern- ment The court, in passing on the point, does not undertake to punish if the affirmative posi- tion is sustained. The injunction proceeding | is intended as a deterrent, a preventiye of law- | lessess and is a declaration and warning to all | the people. The issue set forth here is not one | between the Transit Company and the members he Street Car Union, but of ¢he United = against the strikers and all persons who interfere with the operation of the mails. sective of whether or not this or that pe; a reasonable apprehension as to & violation of the laws of the United States is practically all that is necessary to determine the issuance of an injunction. Soop after the present strike was inaugurated there were scenes of lawlessness throughout the city. It is admitted that the mall cars have been interfered with and their prompt opera- tion at times rendered impossible. The defendants and those who have acted In concert with them ordered the strike. From this it follows that whether they are gullty of lawlessness or not, as complained of, they must be held accountable for the necessary con- sequences of their acts. _If it is true, and I hope it Is, that none of the defendants has been gulity of interfering with the mail cars, then the {njunction can certainly do no harm. ' However, my ruling is not based upon_ that conclusion. 'The motion for & tem- porary injunction is accordingly granted. HAVANA CAPTURED BY CUBAN TEACHERS Instructors Given a Farewell Before Starting for the United States. HAVANA, June 2%.—Havana has been practically given over to-day to the teachers chosen to attend the summer school in Boston and to their friends. The United States transport Sedgwick took 310 women teachers and the United States transport Crook 205 men. The Sedgwick will call at. Matanzas. Cardenas and Sagua, the Crook touching only at Matan- zas. Bands and special tugs were char- tered for the early morning, but it was soon learned that no one would be allowed to go on board the transpert before o'clock in the afternoon. The crowds, therefore, visited the city, exploring in all directiens, especially among the public buildings. It was estimated that fully 2000 residents and friends devoted the day to saying farewell. The fortunate teachers seem to be in excellent spirits and to be anticipating with keen pleasure a residence of three months in the United States. The Crook left about 5 o’clock and the Sedgwick much later. — {APPALLING CHOLERA DEATH RATE IN INDIA Of Fifteen Thousand Cases in a Sin- gle Week More Than Ten Thou- sand Prove Fatal.

NECESSITY OF PROTECTING THE GREAT FORESTS Address of Secretary Wilson Before the- Forestry Association. —_—— o Says the Country Is Becoming Im- poverished by the Axman Who Fells but Does Not Plant. AT o NEW YORK, June 25.—The American Association for the Advancement of Sci- ence, which is composed of sixteen affili- ated socleties, opened its forty-ninth an- nual meeting to-day in Havemeyer Hall, Columbia University. Two of the affili- ated organizations, the American Chem- jcal Society and the American Forestry Association, are at the same time holding their annual sessions. Other affiliated so. cleties will ¢bnvene to-morrow and the last of the serles of meetings will be that of the society gineering education on July 2. The general session was called to order by the retiring president, G. K. Gilbert, of Washington, D. C., who introduced to the delegates the president-elect, Profes sor R. S. Woodward, who made a brief address. In his address to the members of the Forestry Assoclation Secretary Wilson said in part: We have not given sufficient attentlon to the growing things In fleld and forest, nor the in- fuence exerted upon the fleld by the forest. Heavy exportations of grain and lumber are regarded by observers as the best evidence of national prosperity, while closer Inquiry will discover soil exhaustion, and the loss of abil- ity to retain moisture ori hill and plain. As enlightenment among men advances with the centuries we fell trees, regardless of the consequences. Our Government policy of giv- ing the land to the people has facilitated th Warfare on the trees. It seems a pity to now that reserves were not made by the Gov- ernment from sea to sea, especially on high latitudes where rivers rise, or such shallow solls that cannot endure the sun, on broken jands_that forbid the plow, and the like, but, reflection excuses us from wondering, it neulr impossible now to save a tree north- wardly, southwardly and westwardly. Thé axman’ will soon hoe through the forest; two Qecades or less will exhaust our primitive for- ests of building woods.

In short, the conference may be said to | have not elicited a single point on which | Lord Salisbury differed from the Amer! can attitude, and while he expressed his | determination to use every endeaver to restore order in the Peiho Valley and ex- | tricate the diplomats, his estimate of the | situation was tinged with a spirit of hope- fulness that contrasted greatly with the general tone of the British press. The British Premier did not discuss the eventual settlement and the likelihood of a partition of China, etc., and it may be reiterated that this phase of the situation has not yet been made the subject of an exchange of views between any of-the na- tions. Judging from the account of what passed between Mr. Choate and Lord | Salisbury the statement recently made to the Associated Press by the Foreign Office that Great Britain and the othen nations, so far as the Foreign Office knew, were confining all their energies and de- liberations solely to the present predica- ment, is a sincere statement of fact.

The recent optimistic ut- terances of the French Foreign Minister, M. Delcasse, were founded upon one of Sheng’s cablegrams that has since been proved false. The paper further complains that all re- cent Russian communications place the facts In a false light, and instances a statement by the Official Messenger of St. Petersburg which represents the Box- ers as the only disturbersand the Chinese Government as innocent. The views eriti- cized do not prevail in German official | circles. The Clinese Minister here, Lu Han Houan, in the course of an interview to-day, said: “The Empress cannot be deposed.

No action could possibly be taken to relieve the comman- der in chief because it was only known that he was cut off by Tientsin being In- vested. Tientsin has been fighting for its life ever since. It was on receipt of this information that the Chinese army had ordered trains for attacking Tientsin: that they were ravaging Tongku and re- inforcing Taku, as well as mining tho mouth of the Peiho, that It was promptly determined to seize Taku.
