TAKEN INTO COURT
Judges Will Have Hand in Phil
adelphia Gas War.
MAYOR WEAVER ENJOINED
Kemoval of Two Officials Prevented
by Court Mayor Hires Root as
Counsel Machine Leaders
Are in Conference.
PHILADELPHIA, May 21. The gas
lease fight was carried into the courts to
day, and, in consequence, the two direc
tors appointed by Mayor Weaver last
evening are out of office and the directors
who were dismissed have again taken up
the duties of their positions. Late in the
day Mayor "Weaver, accompanied by ex.
Judge James G. Gordon, went to New
York for consultation with EHhu Root,
the Mayor's special counsel. What the
next move will be cannot be foreshad
owed. The leaders of the Republican or
ganization announce that their lines re
main unbroken, that the gas lease will bi
passed over the Mayor's veto' next week,
and that the lease wilj be put into opera
tion. The city employes felt much relieved as
the day wore on to learn that the Mayor
had taken no further action with regard
to the removal of the heads of other de
partments. Fight Carried Into Court.
The first move of the day was the ap-
pearance before Judge Robert Ralston of
.ittorneys lor fetor z- Oosu-jIo huh ut
id J. Smyth, the dismissed directors,
who applied for a preliminary injunction
against the Mayor and A. Lincoln Acker
and Sheldon Potter, their successors m
office, restraining Messrs. Acker and -Potter
from assuming the duties of their
respective offices and restraining the
Mayor and all other city employes from
aiding them in carrying out such inten
tions. Judge Ralston granted a- temporary
restraining order and fixed next Monday
morning as the time for the defendants to
show cause why the injunction should not
lie made permanent. The attorneys for
the ousted directors lost no time in the
preparation of the papers to be served on
the defendants.
The new directors were In the office
about two hours. Regarding the injunc
tion, Mr. Weaver said:
"I am. still the Mayor of the city, and I
mean to exercise all the rights of my
office. The injunction cannot prevent me
from doing my duty."
As an evidence of the view the Mayor
takes of the situation, he ordered this
afternoon that matters pertaining to the
two departments requiring Immediate ac
tion be brought to his notice at once,
thereby assuming personal- charge of those
tranches of the city government pending
the outcome of the legal complications.
Ieadcrs of 31aclilnc Confer.
The leaders of the organization were
in conference all day and conference were
held tonight. One of the most important
gatherings of the day was that held in the
office of United States Senator Penrose,
where State Insurance Commissioner
Israel Durham, the Republican organiza
tion leader, met all the ward leaders.
The committee of nine held a meeting
today and arranged for a mass meeting
to be held in the Academy of Music Friday
night. Among the --peakcrs will be cx-Postmastcr-Gcneral
Smith and Bishop Co
adjutor Macy Smith, of the Protestant
Episcopal diocese of Pennsylvania.
It was hinted that an extra session of
the Legislature might be called for the
purpose of making the Philadelphia "rip
per" bills, passed during the recent ses
sion, operative. These bills take from the
Mayor the power to apnoitit the Uirectors
of Public Safety and Public Works, and
place it in the hands of City Councils.
I ndcr the act of the last Legislature, the
law docs not become operative until the
incumbent Mayor's term expires in April,
1907. It is not generally believed, however,
that the Governor nor the members of the
Legislature outside of Philadelphia would
approve this plan.

crusade against the gas monopoly.
The Mayor, on his arrival, went direct

Asked what he was going to do, the
Mayor said he was in the fight to stay

nal hurts and was so severely shocked
that tho physicians were unable to do
little more than ameliorate his sufferings.
Mr. Zieglcr's condition received a set
back a few weeks ago by the shock which
he sustained on hearing of an accident
to his son, who fell on a sharp hook,
cutting himself severely. Last Saturday
he suffered a stroke of apoplexy.. The
interment will probably be In Woodland

GUARDS TRUST SECRETS
Tobacco Trust Official Resists Sum
mons to Grand Jury.
NEW YORK. May 21.-Elihu Root and
Delancy Nicoli appeared before Judge
Wallace In the United States Circuit
Court today and argued In behalf of
Edward Haje. who petitioned for a writ
of habeas corpus after he had been cited
for contempt of court in refusing to
answer questions before the Federal
grand jury during the Investigation of the
affairs of the American Tobacco Com
pany.
They contended that such investigation
was illegal: that a specific charge against
a specific person was necessary' to make
It proper; that it transgressed the Con
stitutional rights of personal privacy,
and that the Immunity provision of the
Sherman anti-trust law did not apply to
the case of Mr. Hale.
Henry W. Taft acted as special As
sistant District Attorney in the inquiry,
representing the Government. Mr. Taft
argued that it was not necessary' for
specific charges to be preferred: that the
Federal grand jury' had unlimited inquisi
torial powers; that such action as had
been taken was found necessary owing
to the scheming ability of the alleged
trusts to avoid exposure. Otherwise it
would be impossible to get at the secrets
of violators of the Sherman act. v
When the arguments were concluded.
Judge Wallace gave the lawyers until
June 1 to file their briefs. He will then
take the matter up and render a decision.
