[By "Doc”| When a woman’s husband is the | subject of conversation she never says what she really thinks. There is no satisfactory reason for believing that a woman is always “harping” will make a good angel. who St. Louis's anti-loafing ordinfnce has been declared unconstitutional. Did the Supreme Court have a touch of spring fever? A girl seldom has occasion to cry for help when a young man Kisses her—probably because he is able to help himself. They’ve locked up a New York woman for beating her husband. It’s good to have the law come to our assistance once in a while, any- way. The czar confirms the ten-year prison sentence given General Stoes- sel. We thought Nick was about as far down as they make ’em, but this certainly puts him one niche lower. The mandate having issued that women must wear flower hats this year, the lady milliners will now show Dame Nature a few of the opportunities she overlooked in creating the floral kingdom. The statue of Washington which has faced the national capitol build- ing for sixty-seven years is to be re- moved to a less exposed spot. It is asking too much even of a statue to contemplate Congress for such a length of time. TORNADO IN LOUISIANA. Number of Casualties Reported to Have Occurred. Baton Rouge, La., March 24—Re- ports have been received here of a tornado which swept through East Feliciana parish, La.

AMENDSSHERMANACT Bill Preparcd by Civic Federation Intreduced in the House, ITS FATE IS PROBLEMATICAL | One Section of Measure Seeks to Re- lieve Labor Organizations From Suppressive Effects of the Recent Supreme Court Decision. Washington, March 24—The bill prepared by the National Civic Fed- eration, after conferences with the president and representatives of cap- ital and of labor, to relieve the strin- gency of the Sherman anti-trust law was introduced in the house by Repre- sentative Hepburn of Iowa, chairman of the committee on interstate and foreign commerce. It was referred by Speaker Cannon to that committee for consideration and report and it is un- derstood that President Roosevelt will, in a message to congress, make a recommendation concerning it. There is no information on which to frame a prediction of the failure or success of the bill in the house, nor will there be until hearings have been glven in committee. Party leaders professed to be wholly ignorant of the details of the bill and to have only a general understanding of its purpose. One of the most interesting sections of the federation bill is that which seeks to relieve organized labor from the suppressive effects of the recent supreme court decision declaring la- bor unions to be conspiracies in re- straint of trade and therefore unlaw- ful. TI® bill, broadly speaking, aims to restore to unions their right of practicable existence, including the right to strike, but leaving them still amenable to the Sherman act in the matter of boycotts, picketing and sim- ilar coercive measures. This section is as follows: “Nothing in said act approved July 2, 1890, or in this act is intended, nor shall any provision thereof hereafter be enforced, so as to interfeze with or to restrict any right of employes to strike for any cause or to combine or to contract with each other or with employers for the purpose of peace- ably obtaining from employers satis- factory terms for their labor or satis- factory conditions of employment, or s0 as to interfere with or to restrict any right of employers for any cause to discharge all or any of their em- ployes or to combine or to contract with each other or with employes for Jthe purpose of peaceably obtaining la- bor on satisfactory terms.” FEDERATION WILL APPEAL Injunction Made Permanent in Buck Stove Case. ‘Washington, March 24.—The Amer- ican Federation of Labor and Presi- dent Gompers and others of that or- ganization were permanently enjoined from “conspiring, agreeing or combin- ing to restrain, obstruct or destroy” the business of the Buck Stove and Range company in a decision rendered by Chief Justice Clabaugh of the su- preme court of the District of Colum- bia, making permanent the temporary injunction of Justice Gould against the federation in that case. The fed- eration’s counsel immediately noted an appeal to the District court of ap- peals. The decision bars the federa- tion from in any manner calling the attention of the public to the Buck company, or its business or products, and also bars the federation from plac- ing the company on the “unfair list” or from stating that the company’s products should not be purchased either in Missouri or anywhere else. AFFECTS NEARLY 50,000. Further Notices of Reduction in Wages in Cotton Mills. New Bedford, Mass., March 24.—No- tices of a wage reduction averaging 10 per cent, effective April 6, have been posted in all the cotton cloth mills in the city.

FOR SALE AT THE OWL DRUG STORE BEMIDJI, MINN. sioner Lane said: “The commission holds that it has complete jurisdiction of all foreign commerce moving inland to or from the seaboard and that it can regulate the rates and control the practices of rail lines or of combined rail and water lines from interior points of the United States to the ports, but that its jurisdiction does not extend over ocean carriers transporting foreign commerce from a port of the United States to a port in Europe or Asia, or in any other non-adjacent country. The rates which the rail carriers must publish, as required by the act to reg- ulate commerce, are the rates to the ports. “There has been no expression of the commission as to the legality of the ‘Baltic pool,’ ” continued Mr. Lane. “Pooling by ocean carriers has not been prohibited by the act to regulate commerce. Wheéther or not it is pro- hibited by any other law the commis- sion has not passed upon.” Finally Dies of Injuries.

GAR-GOL CURES of The administrative Tulings Commis- DOWAGER QUEEN TESTIFIES Once Paid for Letters Now Being Used in Spanish Suit. Madrid, March 24—The judges in the Elena Sanz affair called at the palace to take the evidence of the queen mother. Elena Sanz was a Spanish actress by whom King Alfonso XII. had two natural sons. These children are now suing the heirs of Alfonso XII for an annuity, which, they claim, was left to their mother by the king and which was to revert after her death to them. The queen deposed that a few days after the death of Alfonso XII Senor Salmeron came to Senor Abella, who was then master of the household, and told him that Elena Sanz had in her possession certain letters from the late king, the publication of which would cause a great scandal. She would give them up for $15,000 and in addition Salmeron claimed $1,000 for his services in the matter. Trust- ing to the integrity of Salmeron the queen paid over these two sums and was agsured by him that all the let- ters in question had been destroyed. The present suit of the Sanz heirs, however, is based entirely upon let- ters identical with those which the queen paid to have burned. fore the supreme court, that tribunal having decided itself competent to try: the case.

A mob of 500 men pursued the shooter, who ran from the scene, and he was captured by H. Sexton, a deputy in the assessor’s office. Mr. Stevens and the wounded Ko- rean were taken to the Central Emer- gency hospital. Mr. Stevens, accom- panied by the Japanese consul, had just stepped out of the hotel omnibus when several Koreans approached them, one of whom said a few words to Stevens and then struck him in the face. He then drew a revolver covered with a handkerchief and began shoot- ing at Stevens. At the hospital Dr. Hill extracted a bullet from the wounded Korean, who had been shot through the lungs. Stevens is a man of strong physique. He is in splendid health and may recover. IN THE FIRST ATTACK. but Not Stevens Severely Bruised, Badly Injured. Sen Francisco, March 24—D. W. Stevens, diplomatic adviser to the Korean council of state, who arrived on Friday from Korea, was attacked and knocked down by a committee of four angry Koreans in the lobby of his hotel. Only the prompt arrival of Buests and employes of the hotel in response to his loud cries for help saved his life, for the Koreans de- clared later they would have killed him. Stevens was severely bruised and scratched, but was not danger- ously injured. Stevens, in an interview upon his arrival, sald the Korean people have been greatly benefitted by Japanese protection and that they are begin- ning to look more favorably upon it. He also saild that the Korean peas- |’ ants have welcomed the Japanese and the official class is beginning to think well of them on the ground that the only hope for Korea is in a reorgan- ization of the old institutions on the lines proposed by Japan. Other state- ments, all of which were favorable to Japan in relation to their native coun- try, made the Koreans angry.
