In tho 1907 agreement with the Philadel
phia ltnpld Transit Company, which re
quires that tho company will be given 90

much in doubt. Director Tnvlor has de
clared the clause Inoperative In the cases
of the pioposed Broad street subwny nnd
the proposed Frankford elevated, but
Councllmen have taken the contrary Mew.
While this may ho the cause of a con
siderable delay, there Is even a greater
danger. There Is a rumor of a coming
taxpayer's suit to test the constitution
ality of employing tho personnl prop
erty tax as a basis for inci easing the
city's borrowing capacity for transit Im
provements. The rumor Is vague but persistent.

cnest to start me winter rght next fall,
had a poor time. In fact, he never had

he walked in, then a Jostle an he sought
his seat, then a wild torrent of taunting

the hat from his head and he had a last
glimpse at It as It bounced like a rubber
ball from tho stnnd to the air to disap

The I'enn-Princeton clash draws the
blggCBt crowds of the season at Franklin
Field. Aside from the attraction of the
fun over the straw hats, tho game by
some freak of chance Is always an In

the stands were full of them In bright

SYRACUSE, N. Y., May 1. With
Colonel Roosevelt's foundation laid for
the proof of alleged printing graft at Al
bany, by which William Barnes nnd In
ferential Charles F. Murphy profited,
counsel on both sides of tho Barnes
Rootovelt $50,000 libel suit today were hard
at work strencthenlnc their defenses.
Tharo was no session of court today,
the trial being adjourned yesterday af
ternoon until Monday morning.
It was a stinging blow to Barnes,
though not exactly unexpected, when Jus
tice William S. Andrews allowed In evi
dence the testimony of Michael B. Dolan,
of the Albahy ArgUs, tending to show
Barnes' control, not to say monopoly, of
the city, county and State printing at
the capital,
When tho court refused to allow Wil
liam Loeb, Jr., to tell of alleged vice
graft conditions In Albany, In which con
nection Roosevelt's answer to the mm.
plaint alleged that Barnes' political
henchmen out of State Jobs profited from
gambling and other Illegal resorts. It was
hoped by the plaintiff that on tho same
ground tho printing cvldenco likewise
would be excluded.
Dolan testified at great length, detail
ing tho wheels within wheels whereby the
contracts for printing were let. Ho swore
that, In order to obtain printing contracts
at nil, the Argus was forced to pay tho
Journal Company, owned by Barnes, 15
nnd 20 per tent, of the total contracts.
Dolan Identified one check from tho
Argus company to tho Journal company'
nnd It wns exhibited to the Jury. Dolan
will resume on tho stand Monday to finish
his direct testimony and undergo cross-
examination nt the hands of William M.
Ivlns.
The Whitman letter still is a topic of
absorbing Interest, which was not less
ened when Charles H. Duel), Jr., who re
ceived It from Whitman and turned It
over to Roosevelt, wns expelled from
court by Justice Andrews because he ap
plauded the testimony of Senator Fred
erick Davenport when he compared
Barnes to a Nero who fiddled rhlle Rome
burned.
This morning Colonel Roosevelt came to
tho Onondago Hotel nnd conferred with!
his nttorneys. Barnes went to Albany
for tho week-end.

to reconcile them. At last, through the
dingy crowd of police Btatlon hangers-on.

five-year-old Vincent himself.
"I failed out window meself," he called
up In a pathetic piping voice to the man
on the thrpne of Justice, "Nobody throwed
me, and me pop he beat up mom for
throwing me. See where I hit m' bean?"
and he pointed to his bandaged head, tho
bandage coming down to the top of his
shiowd eyes. "Don't that bhow how I
failed out meself?"
"All right." said the Magistrate, "can't
you forgive Stanislas, madam?" But she
wouldn't, because, she said, not only had
ho beaten her. but he had driven the other
Vincent out of the house at 2S33 Elkhart
street. Ho was held under 300 ball.
It's pretty hard when a "cop" has to
go around on his beat all night with a
quarrelsome chicken. Such was the lot of
Policeman Stowman. He picked the
chicken up at 23th street and Allegheny
avenue, and she wouldn't answer any
questions. Stowman then called up the
sergeant at the Ridge and Mldvale ave
nue station. "Send the wagon," he said.
"1 sot a chicken."
"The wagon's out." replied the ser
geant, "better keep the chicken with
you "
And the prisoner became quarrelsome
She wouldn't walk one way or the other
nnd Anally Stowman waa compelled to
carry her from -place to place. Every
hour he called up and every time he got
the same answer, "the wagon's out."

AUTOS AND JITNEYS IN LINE.
The automobile section brought up the

donated to the cause, and those who were
not physically able to take the walk paid
for the privilege of riding at J3 per seat.
The ubiquitous jitney was pressed Into
service, too. Several doren of them
which had gathered at the place or

Brilliant Ceremonies When Ruler Bo
gins Reign Over Villagers.
The Queen of the May was crowned In
festive glory, while her court dancers
pirouetted before her nnd her loyal sub
jects acclaimed hall to her fair reign on
tho village green nt 26th and Master
streets this afternoon. Queen Katharine
who In more prosaic terms is Kathnrlne
smun, ruies over Athletic Recreation
Park, the scene of the May-Day coron
ation. Worthy villagers and neighbors
of the district crowded tho green to wit
ness tho ceremonies and partake In the
revelries.
Following the procession of tho May
folk, the members of Queen Katharine's
court gave greeting, with Mny song and
dance, to tho patricians. Then came the
color bearers' review. During the bal
let, the "Dance of the Popples," the
queen was crowned. The jesters' frolic,
a dance by maidens, callsthenlc nnd gym
nastic drills by the youths, a minuet by
the court attendants and an Indian dance
by boys of the woods followed In rapid
succession. The ceremonies closed with
a May-pole dance by the village girls.
Genevieve Block, Gertrude Fredericks,
Helen Helchhold and Katharine Kirsch
were laaies in waning to Queen Kath
arine. A grand review of organizations of
Athletio Recreation Park and a reces
sional of the May folk cleared the green
of villagers. This was to make room
for the track and field events nnd the
baseball game between Second Dutch and
Athletic. This evening members of the
clubs nnd classes will hold an annual
May hop.
