The weather forecaster says the relief will not be lasting, for a hot wave is on the way from the Middle West and fair and warmer is the prophecy for to-morrow. The Weather Bureau thermometer registered 85 degrees at noon, and it was much warmer on the street, espe- clally in open spots like City Hall Park, where the sun got full play on the asphalt. The humidity at noon was 65 per cent. but it diminished rapidly after the thunderstorm cleared the air. F.

BURGLAR CARRIES OFF GOC-POUND STEEL SAFE RIGHT ON BROADMAY Lugs It Out Through Front Door of Restaurant on Policeman’s Beat. Some burglar has a grudge against the policeman who walks fixed post two blocks from No. 851 Broadway between 7 at night ‘and 2 o'clock In the morning. Evidently it was the burglar’s desire to show up the police- man Sunday night, for Manager Charles Cox of Childs’s restaurant at No, 351 Broadway says he could have had no other reason for carrying through the front door a steel safe weighing 600 pounds and containing a few papers and $10 in change. The safe was closed and rolled in front of the cigar stand of the res- taurant, fivé feet from the front door, Saturday night. It was a new safe and burglar-proof. A relief police- man passing at 3 o'clock Sunday morning noticed the front door was open. The safe, which stands in the glare of an electric lamp, was miss- ing. Its tratl led through the door and across the sidewalk. No clue has been found to the man who picked the lock of the door, nor has the safe been discovered. Two men could hardly have lifted the four- foot steel box, says Manager Cox. — KENTUCKY CAN'T FINE WOMAN PHISIAN.

THE HARVESTER TRUST But Federal Supreme Court Holds That Missouri May Oust That Corporation. WASHINGTON, June 8 —Fines imposed upon the alleged Harvester Trust by Kentucky courts for viola- tions of anti-trust and anti-pooling laws of the State were set aside to- day by the United States Supreme Court, The Harvester Company was fined $5,000 by each of a half-dozen of the county courts of Kentucky and the fines were upheld by the Court of Appeals of that State, It was alleged by Kentucky of- clals that International Harvester Company of America, which was de- fendant in these cases, had in- creased prices by pooling its busi- ness with Deering Harvester Com- pany, the Milwaukee Harvester Com- pany and others, but the Supreme Court did not take that view of it. The Supreme Court to-day affirmed the decree of the Missouri Supreme Court, ousting the International Har- vester Company of America from the State and fining it $25,000 for viola- tion of the State anti-trust law. pihenodet SER 1.
