to Reduce Cost of Litiga- _ tion and Eliminate Delays. _ WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.—Revolution- ary ehanges in procedure in equity cases in Federal courts throughout the United States are effected in re- vised rules promulgated today by the Supreme Court of the United States. The object is to reduce the cost of- litigation and to eliminate delays, The Supreme Court today again ad- journed without announcing decisions | in the Hard Coal Trust, Union Pacific meorger or state rate cases. Among new rules is one which would prohibit issue of preliminary injunc- tions without notice to the opposite par- _ ty and also restricting issues of tem- . porary restraining orders. ‘The new anti-injunction rule incor- porates into practice several demands of labor leaders which they sought to hav recognized by the «nactment of the so-called Clayton anti: “unction bill. _ The new rule follows in . »neral way _... the rules of the Feder rt in the _ Ninth Circuit, which ob SG + the Pa- ~ eifie.

MARINE BAND NOT ALLOWED T0 PLAY FOR POST-DISPATCH Acting’ ~Secretary Winthrop, Fearing Wrath of Labor, Re- fuses to Rescind Order: WASHINGTON, Noy. 4—The Acting- Secretary of the Navy, Beekman Win- throp, yesterday gave his final de- cision on the question whether the peo- ple of St. Loais, through the Post-Dis- patch shall have the opportunity\of hear. ing free a concert by *%» United States Marine Band at the Cc. xeum election | night and on whether Ls “t. Santel- | mann, leader of the Marine Band shall keep an engagement, made several days ago, which is, according to navy of- ficers, legal and legitimate. The Acting-Secretary’s decision is this: The Marine Band cannot play at the Coliseum election night, {f the Post- Dispatch has the use of the Coliseum, even though no admission is charged. He added: “The Navy Department cannot rescind its order,sent to Lieut. Santelmann, through the Radcliffe =n- tertainment Bureau, not to keep the engagement made with the Post-Dis- patch. “I regret that the Marine Band has been the means of putting such a big and good organization as the Post-Dis- patch in a position ‘before the public of St. Louis, which it says is ani I do not doubt is a result of miscon- struction of purpose, but the interests of the band are greater to the Navy Department than any others. Fears the Wrath of Labor. “If I should rescind the order sent to Lieut. Santelmann yesterday, not to play for ‘the Post-Dispatch, the wrath of organized labor would be bnought down upon the band. This the navy and the country cannot afford. “In the last session of Congress a bill almost passed which prohibited the Ma- rine Band from accepting any engage- ments outside Fedéral military circles. Yhat bill wes killed only after one great effort by, the Navy Department and its friends in Congress. Had it gene through, it world have killed the bard, for the reason that musicians of the class of those in the Marine Band would not enlist were they to re- ceive only the Marine Corps pay. In other words, it is necessary for the Marine Band to accept some outside employment to warrant musicians of the caliber of those In the band staying in it. “Were I or the Navy Department to rescind the order sent to Lieut. Santel- mann yesterday, oftganized labor would make a determined effort in the coming session of Congress to pass the bill which failed by sO narrow a margin in the last session of Congress. This must not occur.” It was pointed out to Winthrop . that the Post-Dispatch in the first instance did not seek the services of the Marine Band, but that it sought the use of the Coliseum to give free to the people of St. Louis an ee of ew the been prompted tn Going what he did and oli to tHe aon by pena

ELECTION JUDGES ARREST ORDERED IF THEY OBEY M'CLUNG Hadley’s Action Follows Offer to Aid Republicans Who Sup- port Progressives. “TWO G. O..P. TICKETS”

Democratic Committee Says Instructions Were Design- ed to Insure Fair Play. ” i a JEFFERSON CITY, .Nov. 4,—Gov. Hadley sent to election |boards In St. Louis, Kansas City and St. Joseph t- day an order to cause the arrest of election judges who a a to carry out the instructions giten in a letter written to the judges by Chairman Mc- Clung of the Democratic State Coummit- tee. McClung’s letter to the Democratic election jhdges stated that “it is one of your duties to instruct all Repub- lican voters that theresare two Repub lican tickets.’’ Chairman Elvins of the Republican State Committee, on learn: ing of this, protested to McClung and to the Governor. Elvins contended that it was no part of the legal duty of Dem- ocratic judges to instruct Republican voters about anything, and further, that the statement as to two Republican tickets was false. McClung refused to withdraw the let- ter, and defended it on the ground that it was designed to insure fair play to what he called the ‘“‘Roosevelt Republic an party.” Roosevelt is the candidate of the Progressive party, and the offt- cials of that party in St. Louis joined in the protest against McClung’s action. Hadley’s Telegram, Gov. Hadley’s telegram to the city election boards read: ‘“‘Am informed Democratic State Com- mittee has sent to Democratic Judges of election.a letter directing them to vio- late provisions of Section 6899, R. 8. 1908, by not delivering to each voter ballots of all political parties, but instead, to ask him, if he is a Republican voter, what Republican ticket he. -desiven,. prote 16“ gk T cratic, State Committee would be inal offense. Request you see that di- rections are given to judges of’ election to comply with provisions of Section 5899 and if any judges of election vio- late this section that you order their ar- rest. HERBERT 8S. HADLEY, Governor. Six Ballots to Each Voter, Under the law each voter is entitled te receive six ballots from the judges and clerks. He takes these with him to the booth, and selects the ticket of the party he wishes to vote, prepares his ballot and hands it to the judges. McClung said there was so much Goen- fusion in certain quarters as to what constituted the real Republican party that he issued the letter so that Voters might be fully informed. The attempt of the. Republicans to make an issue of the letter, McChing said, was indicative of their desire to deprive the Progressives of many votes they were justly’ entitled to receive,

MAN STABS SELF. IN A SKYSCRAPER Cuts Himself Twice in ~Breast After Leaving Elevator in Wright Building. yeep Persons on the eighth floor of the Wright Building, Eighth and Pine streets, feaving their offices for lunch shortly before noon Monday, saw a young man step from an elevator into the main corridor and plunge a lons- bladed knife twice into his breast. Patrolman Loureé, who took the man to the city hospital, after Dr. Elbert J. Lee Jr. had administered emergency treatment, reported that he gave his name as Joseph H. ©O’Bryan, his age as 80 years and his address as #01 Lo- cust street™ He ‘told the pollceman ne was unmarried, but refused to make any statement as to why he had stabbed himself. The wounds were not serious, it was found, the knife having penetrated not more than three-fourths of an inch... One was just above the abdomen and the other was in the center of the chest, No one on the eighth floor of the building could identify the man. A man occupying an office on the eighth floor of the Wright Building told the police he rode up in the elevator with O’Brien and that the latter after jeaving the car walked a few steps, stabbed himself and then after calmly wiping the knife and putting ft in‘ his pocket walked to the physictan’s office on the same floor.

IN TENANTS’ VIEW | BELIEVED TO RAVE. | NLLED MACTIRES Joseph» Hennella, Female Imper- . sonator, Dies After Appear- ing on the Stdge.

Tight lacing is believed to have been 4 contributing cause of the death of Joseph Hennella, an actor. who died at the city hospital after collapsing in the dressing room at the Best Qdeon, 3346 South Jéfferson avenue. Sunday night. Hennella was. a femule impersonator and lived at the Holland. Hotel, Sixth street and Franklin avenue. Ip order to add to the illusion when he appeared on the stage in a female role, he wore a corset which it was hecessary to lace tightly to give the effect of a small waist. After completing his act, Hannella fell unconscious in the dressing room at 9p. m. He died three hours later. City Hoepital physicians think the tight lacing caused or aggravated a kidney trouble and that it also msy have induced a teendency to. apo- plexy. An inquest will determine the exact catise of death. Hennella was of medium height and inclined to stoutness. He was 40 yeors old. In his younger days it was easy for him to get the feminine lines, but lately his Increasing girth made it nec- essary for him to lace extremely tight to create the delusion. | Usually he nmrade several changes of costume in the cotirse Of. an act and the constriction ‘caused by corset * rendered this a fatiguing and laborious vrocess. Friends had advised him that he was becoming too stout to continue in female roles, ‘ut’ he told’ them that lacing would uce his figure, and Wat he hed impersonating female characters so long that he did not care to give up his “profession. ” “A. Singer, the manager of the Holland | Hotel, told a Post-Dispatch reporter that Hennella had been stopping there for about six weeks. “He was quiet in his ways and aia * Ce ee ed a ee oe aes Fao» i aa — Immediate Elsewhere Ordered.

At the game t ent law should be . The inquest resulted in a verdict ‘that Mrs. C, K. MacFadden, Miss Helen Har- rington (formerly Mrs. James Abeles and W. C. Douglas were burned to death in the hotel, and that the cause or origin of the fire was not ascertalned. Attorney H. H.

After the hearing he said this was a question for the Circuit Attorney or the grand jury. Patrolman Patrick \A. Brennan testi- fied that he heard several theories ad- vanced as to the origin of the fire. One was that Douglas caused it with his pipe; another that there were crdssed wires and a third that gomeone had dropped @ lighted match in a clothes closet, ; Inspection Two Weeks Ago. Mrs. Marian Begg, proprietor of the hotel, testified that two weeks ago. S$; man who said he was an inspector for the Fire Prevention Bureau went through the hotel and told her every- thing was all right. Inspectors for the | bureau and for the Building Departnient frequently ihspected the premises, she said, and had never found fault with the fire escape facilities.
