Yaya Cartoff, a Turk, took a fling at high finance and landed in jail. He was too coarse in his work. Yaya has been the head man of a gang of Turkish laborers employed by the Traction company, all of whom were particularly anxious to hold thenjobs. So. Yaya Cartoff informed Chief Goodwin, he went to the boss of the pang, An American, and asked him if there was nftt some way in which they could cinch their jobs. The boss, according to the Turk, said such a guarantee would cost Cartoff and his clansmen $5 a piece, a total of $S0. Wants His Rake-off. Cartoff says he paid over this sum and then went to collect from his countrymen their shave of the expense or rather, the police assert. Cartoff attempted to assess them a little more than their actual share of the expense, having in mind to clean up about $20 for himself in the transaction. One Hasem Mehmet. with Orienfal shrewdness, refused to fall for Cartoffs little game, and angry words passed between them. Finally, the police are informed, Cartoff became so incensed over the obstinency of his follower that he threatened to kill him. Cartoff was prevented from attacking Mehmet. however, and was arrested on a charge of provoke when the police were were summoned by a perturbed Bulgarian. Cartoff probably will be arraigned for trial in city court tomorrow morning.
COURT LIFT FALLS; SAFETY LOCK ACTS
With a number of attorneys and, several traction officials on board, the elevator at the court house gave way this morning, and only a safety catch nrevented serious results.
Cogs, which prevent the elevator i cables from unwinding to roppidly, j siinned. The car was going down at i
the time, and was near the ground j
floor. It dropped several reet Deiore the safety catch operated. When the car suddenly slackend speed, the heavy steel cables jerked and shook the upper framework, four stories above, so those inside the car feared a ton or more of pulleys and cable would be torn loose. The car was not entirely stopped until it hit the bottom of the elevator shaft. The slight jar at the bottom did not injure any of the passengers. DECLARES INNOCENCE Charles Morgan and wife, colored, charged with having operated a blind tirer at the Akron house on North Tenth street, will enter pleas of not guilty when arraigned in city court next Monday. They have- engaged i ounsel. A colored girl named Holland, captured in a raid on this house Sundaymorning, was fined $10 and costs and sentenced to eight days in jail today. She pleaded guilty yesterday and her case was taken under advisement. POWERFUL LEADERS OF BRITISH CABINET

HODGIN CLOSES UP BRIDGE AT TWELFTH
Richmond's worst eye-sore," the ancient and disreputable looking covered bridge over the river at North Twelfth street, was today condemned and ordered closed to traffic by Building Inspector Hodgin. "I had hoped for some time that the county commissioners would order '. the removal of this bridge, but I j waited in vain. Then I decided to close; it because it is unsafe," Hodgin saidj today. i "If the bridge had been located out-! side of the city I am sure the commissioners would have done away with iti long ago, because the farmers would , have insisted upon such action and thej commissioners are very responsive to the demands of the farmers. When a few farmers begin to find themselves! inconvenienced by having the Twelfth! street bridge closed they will begin to . kick and the commissioners will then j order its removal and the construction ! of a new steel bridge, in all probabil
ity."

CABINET AND WILSON FRAME GERMAN REPLY
WASHINGTON, June 1 With the aid of his cabinet President Wilson
today framed the leading features of. the reply which will constitute the J final word of the government regard-j ing the present issue between the United States and Germany. The cabi-! net was pledged to secrecy. j It is understood that certain phases! of the American reply will be determined after the conference tomorrow between President Wilson and Count Von Bernstorff. Speculation is in-! crensing over the message which Bernstorff will deliver, but it is not known what bearing his visit will have on the situation. The cabinet approved the statement which the president has drawn on the Mexican situation to be made public at Pi o'clock Wednesday.;
! first victory today when Judge Ellis ; J in circuit court overruled all motions j to quash the indictments. The defend- ' ' ants claimed the indictments were invalid because Prosecutor Frank Mann 1 was not with the grand jury and did j not hear the evidence. The court ad- i mitted the point was a close one and , that it probably could be reversed. ! The prosecutor was excluded from the grand jury room on the ground that Iris deputy was involved. It is alleged that the officials accepted bribes for. protecting gamblers.

LONDON. June 1. Relieved from all anxietv about court ceremonial.

It appears to Ivord Sandhurst has at last discovered that the iext of certain revues submitted to him is usually quite different to the text and gags used on the stage, and it is alleged that traveling companies, when producing such stuff, have sheltered themselves tinder his authority, declaring that all they did had the license of the lord chamberlain.
