The manifesto, which was distributed to the foreign legations apd consulates here, says: “When the affairs of the empire had fallen into a hopeless state the nation saw its only salvation in con- stitutional government. The late shah granted a constitution and the reigning shah confirmed it, but per- sons who under the despotic regime Wwere accustomed to oppress the peo- ple misled our young sovereign into the belief that the constitution was the cause of the present troubles. “The nation wants to do nothing that will disturb peace, but in view of the attack of the reactionary members of the government it will defend the constitution, its only hope, to the ut. most. “By means of this manifesto the Per- sian nation makes known to all lega- tions and foreign diplomatic represen- tatives the actual condition of affairs and informs them that the sovereign is violating his covenant with the peo- It makes this anmouncément to all the nations of the world, convinced that they will show brotherly love to the 10,000,000 Persians and not allow thelr rights to be trampled under foot.” The negotiations between the shah and parliament- have up to the pres- ent time been without result. The members of the old cabinet are hold- ing a council in the palace. The post- office and all shops in Teheran are closed and no newspapers are belng published. WORK OF UNRULY NEGROES Three Parliament Italians Killed and Several Wounded in Louisiana. New Orleans, Dec. 1:—Dispatches from several Northwest Louisiana points, where three Italians have been killed and several wounded since Sat- urday night, indicate that the trouble has not been quite so serious as at first reported. Instead of the fighting occurring between white residents of Chathamville, La., and vicinity, as for- merly reported, a late dispatch indi- cates that probably less than a dozen unruly negroes committed nearly, if not all the assaults. There is some ground for suspicion, however, that the whites, through ill feeling towards the Italians for accepting reduced wages, failed to exercise the restrain- Ing hand which they usually keep over the negroes in that section. A posse from Shreveport, La., has left for the scene of the assaults to restore order and to arrest the negroes. RAISED BY TILLMAN. Subject of Prohibition Comes Up In the Senate. Washington, Dec. 1:—The subject of prohibition came up in the senate. It was raised by Senator Tillman, who introduced a resolution instruct- ing the committee on finance to con. sider and report “whether it is prac- ticable for the national government to discontinue the issuance of permits to retail liquor dealers in states, coun- ties or municipalities where local op- tion prevails prohibiting the sale of liquors.” Senator Allison suggested that the government merely collected a tax on liquor and does not control its sale. Mr. Tillman replied that the govern- ment in collecting the tax permits the sale of the liquor and issues a permit for that purpose. The resolution was adopted. Japs Dine Canadian Official.

COURT CALLS IT CONSPIRACY Justice Gould of the District of Colum. bia Equity Court Hands Down De- clsion in ths Case Brought by the Buck Stove and Range Company. Washington, Dec. .3—In the case of the Buck Stove and Range com- pany of St. Louis against the Amer- ican Federation of Labor, involving the right of labor to boycott business houses which labor organizations re- garded as “unfair” to them, Justice Gould of the District of Columbia equity court granted a temporary in- Junction asked for by President Van Cleave of the Stove company to pro- hibit the federation from continuing to boycott the company pending a final settlement of the case. A Dbill in equity was filed by the company last August for a permanent injunction restraining the federation from boycotting the company and put- ting it on the “unfair” list in the fed- eration’s officlal organ and later a supplemental bill was filed charging that notwithstanding the pending pro- ceedings the federation was still actively engaged iu pressing the boy- cott and a temporary injunction was asked for. Judge Gould declared that it was upon the question involved and that the conclusion that such combinations case were held to be unlawful was based upon an appreciation of the fundamental rights of free men in a free country. No Doubt as to the Boycott. argument or discussion of the question whether the plaintiff company had shown the existence of an unlawful combination and conspiracy to destroy his business.and that the record leaves no doubt that the .plaintiff has been and still is the object of a boycott, using that term “in the most obnox- ious sense, namely, an unlawful con- spiracy to destroy its business, such a conspiracy as has received the con- demnation of every federal and state court in the country before which it has been brought for criminal action, legal redress or equitable injunction.” The case will now proceed to a final hearing, which is not expected before early next spring. The court, in ren- dering its voluminous findings, ex- plained that there were several. points which he had not taken up in the present decision, including the ques- tion whether the boycott came within the Inhibition of the interstate com- merce law. Owing to the preliminary nature of the proceeding there was no notice of appeal by the council for the Federation of Labor. The court made numerous citations of decisions in cases involving similar issues, including reference to rulings by Judge Taft, the present secretary of war, then judge of the circuit court, in the action of the “Toledo, Etc., senate convened Senator Hale offered | F2ilWay vs. Penn company and. pros a resolution for the reorganization of | ¢¢edings brought in various states. the senate committees and the com- mittees were appointed in accordance with the caucus action of the two par- ties. SOME DEATHS MAY RESULT| Thinly Clad Women and Children Taken From Burning Building. Denver, Dec. 1.—Fire in the Ta- male block endangered the lives of fifty persons living in the upper stories. Thirty women and children, clad only in night robes and hys- terical with fear, were carried from the building by policemen and fire- men. Although no lives were lost in the fire some fatalities may yet result from exposure, as snow was falling and the weather was extremely cold. — Attacks Witness Against Him. Ottumwa, Ia., Dec. 1 .—Miles Mor- 0w, wpo killed Benjamin Farrell last , ipring and. was acquitted on his see- ond trial a month ago on a plea of self-defense, cut and fatally wounded Mary Judson, a leading witness for tke prosecution in Morrow’s last trial. Declares Conspiracy Exists. The court held that the confention of the defense that there can not be unlawful combination where each member thereof might do individually the thing contemplated without respon- sibility to the law has much of plausis bility and “seems to evade accurate analysis.” Justice Gould cited au- thorities, however, to show that a combination of two or more persons with such an intent and under such circumstances that give them when so combined a power to do an injury they would not possess as individuals act- ing jointly has always been recog- nized as in itself wrongful and illegal. As to the contention that to restrain the publication of a name on the un- fair list would infringe the constitu- tional rights of the defendants and be an assault upon the freedom of the press and that plaintiff’s redress, if at all, was by action for libel and that equity would not enjoin the publica- tion of the libel Justice Gould said: “All this would have merlt_if the act of defendants in making such pub- lication stood alone, unconnected with other conduct both preceding and fol- lowing it. But it is not an isolated fact, it s an act and a conspiracy to HUMAN RACE AFFLICTED WITH QUEER DISEASE Cooper Says Internal Parasites Cause Much Suffering Everywhere. 7 The following remarkable statement was recently made by L. T. Cooper. It concerns the preparation which has been so widely discussed throughout the country during the past year, and has sold in such enormous quantities in leading cities: “It 18 now a well-known fact that wherever I have introduced my New Discovery medicine, hundreds of peo- ple have brought internal parasites, or tapeworms, to me. In many cases these people did not know the nature of the parasite, and were econsequently extremely nervous until I explained the matter to them. In some cities o many have had this experlence that the public generally became tlarmed. “I take this opportunity of explain- ing what these creatures are, and what 1 have learned about them'in the past. “Tapeworms ure much more com- mon than would be supposed. I ven- ture to say that ten per cent. of all chronic stomach trouble, or what -ig| known as & ‘rundown’ condition, is caused by them. An individual may suffer for years with one of these great parasites and not be aware of it. “Contrary to general belie$, the ap- Dpetite 18 not greatly increased—it only becomes irregular. There is a general feeling of faintness, however, and a enawing sensation in the pit of the stomach. = “People afflicted with one of these parasites are nervous and depressed. Thelr chief sensation i3 one of lan- guor, and they tire very easily. Lack of energy and ambition affect the body, and the mind becomes dull and slug: gish. The memory becomes mnot .80’ good, and the eyesight is generally poorer, 3 i 3 “The New Discovery, in freeing stom- ach and bowels of all impurities, seems to be fatal to these great Worms, and almost immediately expels them from the system. I wish to assure anyone Who ‘has' the experience just related with my preparation, that there 18 no || cause for alarm in-the matter, and that it will ag & rulé mean a Bpeedy restoration to good health.” .
