S. Troops Can Be Called Out If Service Is Interfered With —Considerable Violence. Chicago, June 16. —The federal gov ernment took a hwid in the strike of the 14,500 operating employees of the traction lines here when Federal Judge Kohlsaat issued an order t<? Samuel Inpull, receiver of the Oab Park elevated line, to resume service Wednesday morning, employing strike breakers if necessary, and to report any interference with operation to the court for further action. The court order was granted on the application of Mr. Insull, Brltton I. Budd, president of the elevated roads and Gilbert E. Porter. The sensation al move on the part of the financial and operating heads of the roads to break the strike came while Mayor Thompson and the aldermanic peace committee, appointed to make further attempta to bring about arbitration, were in session with the union heads to ascertain a basis of compromise. The court order is In direct conflict i with the resolution of the city council forbidding the employment of strike-1 breakers on any of the traction lines. Should the police attempt to enforce the council order they must face cita tion before Judge Kohlsaat for con tempt. More important than that, if strik ing employees of the road attempt to prevent the running of trains, a fed- j I eral injunction against such inter ference would probably be the nex'. step. Judge Kohlsaat would the forces of United States iroops behind him to enforce such injunction. Other important developments of the strike situation was an order i passed by the legislature directing Governor Dunne and the state public utilities commission to investigate the trouble; a public announcement by the state board of arbitration that an arbitration with the object of inter vention would be started Thursday morning; information from many cities in eastern states that 5.000 strikebreakers were being recntiud for service in Chicago and tha+ more than half of that number were en route to Chicago and a dosen or rnor violent acts on the part of strike sym pathizers on the Southside-Northwest ern elevated through route that was being operated from the extreme Southside to the city limits on the north. It was the extension of elevated service to the Northside that was marked by the first outbreak of violence. Union officials charge the company officials with inciting the I trouble with the object of discrediting the union and declare that investiga tion of the outbreaks has proven that the strikers had no part in the trouble. The most serious of the acts of violence was the attempt of two men to wreck an elevated train at Chicago avenue. The men took position on a fire escape and as tho first through route south bound train approached they hurled a plank across the tracks. The plank fell short of its mark and dropped to the stree'- A little later an acid bomb was thrown from the root" of a building through * r.e roar window of a train pr -ir-r TYc-lr and West Kinzie.

Cash Register Company Wins in Supreme Court | CRIMINAL STATUS AFFECTED Lower Court's Reversal of Convic tions Will Not Be Reviewed—West Virginia Ordered to Pay Virginia $12,393,000 —Dry Territory Not Pro tected by the Webb-Kenyon Law, Court Decides. Washington, June 15. —The reversal by the Sixth United States circuit court of appeals of the conviction of the National Cash Register company will stand. The supreme court has declined to review the case. The offi j cials, it waa alleged by the govern ment, violated the provisions of the klherman anti-trust law. By the decision the government lost the moct Important criminal prosecu tion that has yet come to triAl under the Sherman law and what was re garded by former Attorney General j Wickersham and Attorney General Gregory aa probably the most far reaching suit of its kind in the gov ernment's long list of prosecutions of "trusts." The circuit court reversed the con victions of President John H. Patter son and other officers at the National Cash Register company, which carried jail sentences, although it did not deny the government the right to pro ceed in some other way. The convict ed officials contended the supreme ' court had no jurisdiction to review the action of tiie court which had up set the lower court verdicts. The gov rnment case contained many sensational allegations of unfair competition and monopoly and in in j appeal to the supreme court for a r - view, referred to the defendants as "Bteeped in deliberate guilt." Department of justice officials made no secret that they considered the ef ficacy of the criminal section of the Sherman law at stake. Officials of the department of jus tice stated after the court's announce ment that nothing remained but for the government to proceed in the lower court. It may ask to have the case dismissed or press for a second trial in the district court. The supreme court disposed of the so-called Kentucky Webb-Kenyon liquor cases without determining the constitutionality of the Webb-Kenyon law or passing on its construction. The Kentucky case was a prosecu tion of the Adams Express company for bringing liquor for personal use from Tennessee into Whitley county, Ky., dry territory. Justice Day for the court held it was bound to accept the decision of the Kentucky court of appeals, th*t the Webb-Kenyon law was not applies ble. ITnder that decision the convic tion of the express firm was set aside. The court held that West Virginia must pay $4,215,000 as her share of debts owed by Virginia prior to separ ation from the mother state during the Civil war and that West Virgin'a must also pay interest on that amount. The interest amounts to $8,175,000. The contract under which the states were separated provided that West Virginia should assume her "equifab'e proportion of the public debt." Many exceptions were file-d by the two states. Wf>st. Virginia tried to make, the claim that interest should run only from the date when the separati' i actually became effective. July 1, 1863, instead of the date of the agree ment, Jan. 1. IS6I, but the supreme, court upheld the piaster. The CT'" r.pnroved the findlne thai Solons May Be Called Again. the unofficial belief here that a so cial session of the West Virginia leg lature will b- called to consider * :v court in the Virginia-West Virgin < debt case.

GEORGE'S BAD SPELL Washington Never Could Learn to Write Some Words Correctly. Whoever heard that the great George Washington never could learn to spell correctly? You see, it happened this way. When George was quite a young boy he came aa copy of an English book call "Young Man's Companion," written In a "plain and easy style," as the title stated, which taught one bow to write letters, wills, deeds, to sur vey, to navigate, to build houses. t\, make ink and cider, how to doctor the sick and how to conduct oneself in so ciety, "all without tho aid of a tutor." Washington studied this book from cover to cover and from It acquired two qualities that clung to him through life. His handwriting, easy, flowing and legible, was modeled from the en graved "copy" sheet, and certain forms of spelling were le'irned tliat be never could correct. To the end of his life Washington wrote He. lye: liar, Jyar; celling, ciei lng; oil. oyl. and blue. blew, as In his boyhood he had learned to do from this old book. Struggle as .he did in trying to spell as the others of his day did. he never could be-*nj9 of cee tain words.—St Louts Republic.
