POLICE CAPTURED
IN A BIG RAID
First Results of the Labors of the

Sty Exclusive Wire fmm The Asoriated Pre;.
New York, April lr.. Police Captain
.Toslah A. "Wcstervelt. in command at
the Charles street station house, was
served Ute today with a summons di
roetinff him to appear bsforc J'ugisi
trate Cornell in poliae court tomorrow
morning. The summons was from the
district attorney's office and was ob
tained by Assistant District Attorney
Schurmait from Magistrate Cornell a
few hours 'before.
The formal complainant against the
captain is John It. 'Wood, a defective
lor the Tammany committee of nvo.
The formal basis for the charge arose
out of the raid of the committee of
live on tho Parole club on Bey street
several weeks ago. Of the sixty men
caught hv this raid, eight wore police
ntllcers, and or this latter number, five
in ere attached to the Church street
station, at that time coinmaudcd by
Captain Westervult.
The conclusion readied by District
Attorney Phllbin and his assistants is
that a police official who knowingly
permits a disorderly house or gambling
place to exist in his precinct, even
though he has not been apprised of the
existence of the places referred to by
a citizen is guilty of a misdemeanor.
If Magistrate Cornell thinks the
complaint in the ease has been sus
tained hn can hold the captain for trial
before the court of special sessions,
ivliich Is presided over by three jus
tices. The punishment provided for by
the code in case of a. conviction is im
prisonment not exceeding one year or
u line of not exceeding- $500 or both.

Paris, April 13. The correspondent of
the Associated Press Is Informed from
it trustworthy source that the outlook
for an early settlement of tins Chinese
indemnity question is loss promising
than a week ago.
This proposition of the United .States
to limit tho total Indemnity to $200,000,
000 is not regarded with favor by more
than one Bovernment.
Berlin. April 13. The report that the
United, States has made a proposition
lo the powers lo fix tho total Chinese
indemnity at 40,000,000 tyOO.000,000),
coupled with the condition that the
payment bo made immediately, has
been, confirmed oineially here. Ger
man offlolnls point out that the amount
named would require a heavy scaling
of the different claims. They admit,
however, that the proposition is prac
ticable and open to discussion, owins:
to the clause requiring cash payment.
But if it is contemplated to divide the
indemnity mechanically, they add. it
is doubtful whether it will bo accept
able, since Hussla says her government
claims alone amount to 17,000,000 in
addition to private; claims.
The proposition would give Germany
only 3,000,000, whereas the China ex
pedition has cost her 12,000,000. The
claims of Great Britain amount to less
than 5,000,000. Olllclals therefore ar
gue that the amount should lie appor
tioned according to the expenses borne
by the different powers.
The representative of the Associated
Press believes that Germany is ready
to discuss the proposition in a concili
atory spirit, Influenced- by the' belief
(hat China is unable to pay all the
claims demanded.

ot Wuomlno Conterence.
MANY CHANGES ARE MADE

Some Time Special Appointments

Amount of Business Disposed of
at tho Closing Session of the Con
ference. hpeii.il fiom a StalC Conwpond'nl.
West PiUston, Pa., April 15. This,
the last day of the annual meeting of
Wyoming conference was, as Is usual
ly the case, somewhat hurried in its
business sessions that adjournment
might be hnd early.
Never in the history of tho Wyoming
conference was there such commotion
us this year about the appointments.
Whether it is tho result of the re
moval of tho, time limit. or
the "strenuous" life of the now
century, certain it is that un
usual restlveness existed. Commit
tees were swarming after the cabinet
and ministers 'were seen in reluys day
and night, hoping to settle themselves
satisfactorily. Rev. Dr. Austin Grif
fin, the presiding eider of tho AVyomhig
district, said this morning that Bishop
Fowler had succeeded better in making-
peace than any other could have
done. The possibilities of what might
have been, thus afford considerable
ground for rumination.
An. unusual incident occurred this
morning, -when the appointments were
being read. A misunderstanding re
garding Lest ersh ire and Nantlcoke,
with L. B. Weeks and John Bnul
shaw as pivotal points, added zest to
tlie occasion. Tito Bishop, however,
promptly settled matters, his quick
powers of brain coming to his rescue'
and giving him a clear remembrance
of the decision of tlie cabinet. There
seemed to bo no active dissatisfac
tion with the results and the changes
promise to turn out well.
Rev. Dr. J. A. Lippincolt, president
of tlie Philadelphia. Methodist hospi
tal, formerly a principal of the Scran
ton High school, made remarks In the
Interests of that institution.
Business Session.
ISishop Fowler presided over the
business session. Afler the leading of
the minutes, C. II. Sac.kett read the
report of the board ot stewards, 58
per cent, of the yearly allowance to
superannuated ministers being paid.
Rev. James 1,. Wells, of Blnghamton,
whoso name was omitted from the list
of beneficiaries, made a protest, but
the report was allowed to stand. Rev.
Dr. .1. If. Bace announced a telegram
just received, slating that. $5,000 bad
been donated to Grant university.
On motion of Rev. C. If. Loekett, the
funds In tlie ilreasurcr4 hands,
amounting lo $71.37, was voted to Mrs.
G. C Andrews. The Sabbath observ
ance committee report was reported
by M. S. Godshall. The committee de
precated the action of the Pen
American exposition in opening the
doors on Sunday. The members of
the conferenco wc-ro urged to oppose
such action, which was under the pre
tense of the Interests of tho working
men. W. S, Wilcox presented the report on
tlie cause of church extension. It was
voted to cut down tho report to tho
resolution. C, M. Surdam read tho
mlsisonnry cause report. J. A, Tran
sue also road a long and comprehen
sive, report of the state of the church.
The slate of the nerves ot tho con
ference was such as to preclude details
prolonged to too great extent, and the
applause was so fivimcnt that Bishop
Fowlar construed it as signifying an
acceptance of the report, and II was
so ordered.
Reports Read.
T. C. Vaughn and R. D. Cavenagh
gave reports of the auditing and tract
committees. C. P. Tiffany read the re
port of the Sunday school committee,
It recommended more teaching and
less attempts to hold the children by
means of peanuts and presents, Tlio
ministerial support committee report
was read by Rev. R, B. Singer,
f!ov. R, M. I'ascoo presunted tint in
port of the comniiltco on resolutions.
Tlu-y thanked God that he had per
mitted Bishop Fowler to pieside over
Ihe conferenco for tho third time; that
tlie people of West I'lttston and Rev.
Dr. O, L. Soversou fop their hospital
ity; thanked the officers of the con

Philadelphia. April 35. The Supreme
court today, In an opinion by Justice
Brown, continued an injunction grant
ed by the common pleas court or Alle
gheny county restraining the Inter
ference by ofllcers of trade unions
with apprentices. The title of the case
Is: Charles I,. Flacuus against W. J.
Smith, M. S. Brannln, John Kungler.
W. .1. Clare. T. W. Howe, P. J. Skelly
and J. D. Bentty.
The appellee Is the proprietor of a
glass works at Tartentum, Allegheny
county. He complained that the ap
pellants are members of the Amerleau
Flint Glass 'Workers' union and thai
for a long timo he had been hampered
In hl.s business by tho efforts of the
union (o control his workmen and ap
prentices. In his opinion Justice Brown says:
"Tho appellee had an unquestioned
right in the conduct of his business to
employ workmen who were independ
ent of any labor union, and he hnd the
further right, to adopt a system of ap
prenticeship which excluded his ap
prentices from membership In such a.
union. He was responsible to no one
for Ills reasons in adopting sue.li a
system and no one had a. right to in
terference with.lt to hln prejudice or
Injury. Such an interference with it
was an interference with his business
and, if unlawful, caunol be permitted.
"The court found that thc Interfer
ence was injurious to him, and, if al
lowed lo continue, would utterly ruin
his business. The damages resulting
from such an Injury arc Incapable oC
ascertainment and law and justice de
mands that specific relief be furnished
in a court of equity. Tho 'test of equity
jurisdiction is the absence of a, plain
and adequate remedy at law to the in
jured party, depending upon the char
acter of thu cubs as disclosed In the
pleadings. If equity alone ean furnish
relief the injunction must, be Issued.
With litis test applied to tne pleadings
and the facts found 'by tho learned
judge in the court below the decree
which he made was proper. It Is now
afllrmed and the appeal from It dis
missed al the cost of the appellants."

Other tiiiils of those implicated will
follow. Captain James C. Read, for

house is a Bacchanalian rendezvous,
and prominent officers frequently vis
ited it. drinking champagne and play
ing poker. Women of doubtful repu
tation have often been known to bo
there. It Is alleged that Pitt hnd the
Inside track in securing government
contracts, nnd it Is also asserted that

to re-establish cock pits in Manila,
Mrs. Lara being sulisidized In securing
a cock pit.
It is asserted lhat the commissary
department made unauthorized pui
chases of quantites of champagne. 3'ltt
