The cruis er Des Moines will be the only ad ditional warship sent to Dominican waters until further details of the differences between President Jimi nez and his Congress are received. The Des Moines was ordered today from Progreso to Santo Domingo City. The exact nature of the break be tween the Dominican president and his legislators is not known, but as their differences have been of long standing,' it is assumed that Minister Sullivan, in asking for an additional warship, feared the dispute might be fanned into another revolution. The Nashville already is at Santo Domingo City, and the gunboat Wheeling could be sent over from Port au Prince, Haiti, if needed. The attention of officials here has been chiefly focused upon the eco nomic situation in the island repub lic recently. What was regarded as a tendency to extravagance on the part of the Dominican authorities was checked within a fortnight when the United States cut off an allow ance of $2,000 daily which the Do minican officials had been drawing from their customs reserve funds to satisfy a deficit in current expenses. It is said that the deadlock be tween President Jiminez and his Congress has-been caused by the failure of Congress to pass any leg islation since it convened, whereup on President Jiminez has sought to take matters into his own hands. VOL. 94 NO. 30 JTJDtiE I.YON DISSOLVES RESTRAINING ORDER. Judge Lyon announced in Superior court yesterday that he would dis solve the restraining order granted recently byJudge Shaw in the case of Dr. and Mrs. J. A1 Turner against the Carolina and Yadkin Valley Rail road Company, the North Carolina Public Service Company and the city of High Point. The case was argued before Judge Lyon Monday and Tuesday. The order by Judge Lyon will re lease the tied-up activities of the two companies named as defendants in their railroad trackage, building. They had work in progress for the connection of the tracks of the steam road which runs from High Rock to High Point with the tracks of the street railway in High, Point for the shifting of freight from the steam . road over the street railway to the business houses of the city. This was halted by the temporary injunc tion and will be renewed, it is be lieved, at once. The plaintiffs in the suit alleged that the proposition would make a freight yard of the streets of High Point, would deprive the plaintiffs and others of their easement in Rus sell street and would lessen the val ue of their property. The defendants admitted their in tention of hauling freight over the street car line and said electric en gines would be employed as. motive power. They denied that the plan would damage the value of property or would abrogate any rights of any citizen, contending, on the contrary, that the new method of moving freight would be an improvement over the old method of carting it through the streets. The city of High Point was made a party to the suit because it was al leged that the franchise under which the Public Service Company is operating was illegally granted and that the city had no right to is sue it. Verdict For Defendant in Big Suit. In the Superior court yesterday af ternoon a jury verdict for the defen dant was returned in the suit of Al fred S. Wyllie, trustee of the Trol linwood Manufacturing Company, of Haw River, against the Cone Export and Commission Company, of this city. The plaintiff sued for $30, 000, which was claimed to be due the estate of the bankrupt on ac count of certain deliveries of manu factured cotton goods prior to the time the company went into bank ruptcy two or three years ago. The Cone Company was the selling agent of the Trollinwood Company, and from time to time as the Trollin wood Company manufactured cotton goods they were delivered to its sell ing agent and money was advanced by the Cone Company. The latter received something life $60,000 - in manufactured goods just prior to the bankruptcy and advanced about $30,000. The amount claimed is the difference, which it was alleged was a preference on account of be ing applied to other accounts than those within the four months.
