Done at St. Louis,
KANSAS CITY, May 12. Federal authori
ty found causo for Interfering this even
ing In tho strike Inaugurated this morning
by tho union emplocs of the Metropolitan
Street Railway company. Judge William C.
Hook of Leavenworth, Kan., sitting In Kan
sas City, issued from the United States dis
trict court tonight an Injunction that is
more sweeping In lis terms than nny In
junction ever before served In this district
In n contention between labor nnd capital.
Tho Injunction Is made nbsolulo for n
week, tho matter being set for a hearing on
Saturday next, nnd If Its restrictions shall
bo observed by tho strlkcts tho Metropolitan
company has Its fight won, for tho strikers'
linnds aro tied for seven days nnd In tho
meantime the Metropolitan company can go
hdoui mo reorganization of Its disrupted
iorccs.
The Injunction Is predicted upon the fact
that several of the persons complained
j against as threatening tho Intercuts of the
I'uiutmuy are residents or oilier states and
tho further fact that the strikers threaton
to prevent tho company from carrying out
its contract with tho United States govern

and from their routes. Harry Bryan, the
national orgnulzcr of the Amalgamated as
soclatlon, described as n resident of Mich
igan. In one of tho parties enjoined and tho
others enjoined arc twenty-two local leaders
of the union, several of whom are mentioned
as residents of Ohio and Kansas.
Tho Injunction restrains these portions
nnd all others from In any manner, directly
or Indirectly, stopping or Interfering with
tho running of cars on tho lines of tho
Metropolitan company; enjoins them from
harassing, assaulting or In nny manner In
tcrfcrlng with nny person who may be In
tho employ of the company as ho goes to or
from his work or as ho Is engaged In tho
operation of a street car; enjoins union men
nnd nil others from picketing or patrolling
tho car houses, stopping places, stations,
(racks or approaches theretti. or loitering
In large numbers In or about any of tho
places named, or making loud or boisterous
noises In the vicinity thereof for the pur
poses of Intlmldntlng or Interfering with the
company's employ.
Tho Injunction enjoins nny concerted ac
tion to cause any act or annoynnce which
will assist In stopping the operation of the
cars, or Interfering In any wise with an
employe in moving a ear which may carry
a mall carrier, or a messenger, or upon
which a mall carrier or a messenger may
wish to rldo.
In ndditlon to the extra pollco and tho
county marshals sworn In today, a forco of
United States marshals will bo on hand to
interfere in caso the Injunction Is Ignored.
Up to ii lato hour tonight there had been
no dlsturbanco at any point and the company
was maintaining a fairly efficient service.
It .May III- Done In St. Louis.
ST. LOUIS. May 12. That the federal
authorities are watching tho strike situa
tion closely Is tihown by tho statement of
United States District Attorney Rozler.
Rozler demands that the mall cars bo not
Interfered with, cither by barricading the
roadways, cutting the wires or In any other
way nnd his talk contains n threat that the
United States government may yet tako n
hand Its tho strlkev Tho custom of piling
stones nnd old Iron on tho street car
tracks nnd cutting tho -wires, which has
sprung up only within tho last few days,
evidently furnishes the Inspiration for
Rozler's words and It Is likely the strikers
and their sympathizers will heed tho warn
ing. No street cars will be run In St. Louis
Sunday. Chief of Pollco Campbell considered
it necessary that his men should hnvo some
rest and refused to detail them to keep
the street car lines open tomorrow. Find
ing that the chief could not be moved from
l.ls purpose, the street railway people de
cided to make no attompt to keep tho linos
ocn.
Nino men succeeded In shattering a num
ber of switches with dynamlto on Papln
street tonight. They worked openly nnd
without being molested by tho large crowd
that tho explosion of tho charges had at
traUcd. When the police camo to the scene
tho men scattered and escaped. Several In-
nocont bystanders were clubbed uh tho blue
coats cleared tho streets.

of tho Auditorium today before the secslon
began discussing with the greatest Interest
tho meeting of the committee on episcopacy

Thcro was a divergence of views In look
ing nt tho decision of tho commltteo to

bo retired. Some In discussing the matter
dcclnrcd that the committee had not given
tho subject the broadest consideration.
Tho devotional exercises today woro con

Dlsbop Vincent presided over tho business
session.
Proposed changes in the organic law of
tho church again camo to the fore nt tojay s

a retolutlon to make laymen nnd the local
ministers an eligible as bishops, a privilege
at present confined to traveling prenchers

The committee on the state of the church,

by Introducing tho following report:
'wo recommend that there be but one
general secretary for each of the organized

This proposition cuts off four general sec

Catarrh of Stomach.

:.rom V10 horrors of dyspepsia, says.
Catarrh of the stomach nearly ruined my
digestion for severul years. Almost In
variably after eating I would have a dull,
heavy pain In the stomach and bowels, us
though Hilled up with lead or putty. Tho
food would llo on tho stomach without di
gesting, causing discomfort, distress and
often nausea. A number or physicians tried
to help me, but none of them heemed to lilt
It until I begun with Dr. Shepard, and ho
cured me. 1 have never had n sign of
trouble since. I finished thu course about

"For years I had nt times a lump In my
stomach. It seemed to be about the size
of a gopse egg. I bad a craving appetite,
but could not eat on account of distress In
my stomach and bowels. My weight stead
ily decreased and the sourness of my stom
ach made It necessary for me to use largo
quant ties of soda, but the acidity could not
be relieved. Thn Shepard & Hendrlck treat
ment has restored my digestion thoroughly.

After twenty-four hours' deliberation a
Jury In Judge linker's court has declared
Frank Derr not guilty of murder. The ver
dict was rendered at 10:30 o'clock yesterday.
Derr nnd his wife arrived at tho court
house early yeBtorday. Tho delny of tho
Jury caused apprehonslon, and the nervous
misponm of tho defendant was quite notice-
nblc. Mrs. Derr wns oven more anxious.
but she controlled herself llko u herolno.
When tho Jury came In Derr uud hU wifo
sat sldo by side In front of the Judge's
bench. Mrs. Derr moved her chair a little
closer to her husband and laid her hand
upon his shoulder. It was less than flvn
minutes but evidently seemed to tho Derrs
llko so many hours fronr the tlmo the Jury
entered tbo court room until tho clerk read
tho words, "not guilty."
"Tho defendant Is discharged," said Judge
Dakor In formal tones.
Derr remained seated as though ho could
not move. His countenance was blank;
his face ashen. Characteristic of her sex,
Mrs. Derr wept. Shu apparently tried to
avoid open demonstration, but tho Joy of her
husband's acquittal was too much for her.
Jumping from her chair sho embraced her
husband nnd then extended her hand to each
one of the Jurors. Derr, aroused from his
reverie, Joined his wife in the handshak
ing, which extended from Jurors to at
torneys. Mrs. Derr approached the bench
after sho had thanked tho Jurors and ex
pressed her grultudu to Judge Hakcr. Sev
eral friends of tho Derrs accompanied them
to tho court room.
