JUDGE MODIFIES
COURT'S DECREE
AMERICAN FEDERATION OF LA
BOR MAY FREELY REFER TO
r BOYCOTT AGAINST
BUCKS STOVE AND RANGE CO.
But They Must Not Include in It thfc
"We Do Not Patronize List"—
Courts Must Protect Cit
izens' Rights.
Washington, D. C. —The American
Federation of Labor hereafter may
freely refer to the boycott against
the Bucks Stove and Range Co. of St.
l.ouis, except by inclusion in the "We
do not patronize list."
This, in substance, of widespread
importance to the labor world, to man
ufacturers and to newspapers gener
ally, is the sweeping decision handed
down yesterday by the court of ap
peals of the District of Columbia in
the noted injunction case of the Bucks
Stove and Range Co. against the
American Federation of Labor, which
has been before the courts of the Dis
trict of Columbia in various phases
for months.
Modifies Former Decree.
The decision yesterday, which was
by Justice Robb, modifies and affirms
the decree of Justice Gould. The •
court holds that the decree should be '
modified to the extent that it shall
only restrain the defendants from I
conspiring or combining to boycott i
the business of the Bucks Stove and !
Range Co., or threatening or declar- j
ing any boycott, or assisting therein,
and from printing the name of the ,
complainant, its business or product j
in the "We do not patronize" or "un- !
fair" list of defendants in furtherance i
of any boycott against complainants
business or product and from inter- j
fering either in print or otherwise
with complainants business as in "We
do not patronize," or "unfair" list in j
furtherance of a boycott.
Justice Van Orsdel concurred fully
in the conclusion reached by Justice
Robb, but by a different process of
reasoning. "The sustaining of such a
decree by a court of equity would vio
late the constitutional rights of the
citizen," says Justice Van Orsdel, in
referring to Justice Gould's injunction
decree. "It would mark the beginning
of the era of judicial tyranny by the
branch of the government charged
with the duty of protecting the citizeu
in his constitutional or legal rights."
JANER GUILTYANDSENTENCED
Brought 12-Year-Old Girl to Baltimore
and Repeatedly Subjected Her to
Most Brutal 111-treatment.
Towson, Md. —Joseph M. Janer of
Brooklyn, N. Y., was yesterday
convicted of felonious assault up
on Catherine Loerch, 12 years old,
also of Brooklyn, and sentenced to 21
years in the Maryland penitentiary,
this being the maximum possible un
der the particular count of the indict
ment on which conviction was had.
The case began before Judges Burke
and Duncan and was tried without a
jury. It was in evidence that Janer,
early in February, brought the child
to, Baltimore, represented her to be
his daughter and during two nights,
one spent in a disreputable house and
the other in a boarding house, re
peatedly subjected her to most brutal
ill-treatment.
The prosecution put witnesses on
the stand to show practically every
move made by Janer and the child
after their arrival in Baltimore and
physicians gave evidence confirmatory
of the contention of the state. Janer
yesterday went on the stand in his
own defense and denied his guilt. The
judges announ' ;d their finding after
about ten minutes deliberation.
Janer's counsel made a motion for a
new trial, but this was subsequently
withdrawn.
WHEELING'S MAYOR INDICTED
Accused of Planning Assaults on Offi
cials Engaged in Prosecuting
Illegal Liquor Selling.
Wheeling, W. Va. Two indict
ments, one charging perjury and
the other criminal conspiracy, were
returned against Mayor Frank Chap
man of Chester, W. Va., by the Han
cock county grand jury at New Cum
berland yesterday. The mayor is ac
cused of conspiracy in planning as
saults on former Chief of Police 10. J.
Bonjour of Chester and others, several
months ago. These men were active
in causing the arrest of persons en
gaged in illegal liquor selling and in
the testimony taken following the ar
rest of those said to be implicated it
is alleged the mayor made untruthful
statements.
Woman Suffrage Defeated.
. Des Moines, la. —Equal suffrage

STANDARD OIL GO. WINS
NOT GUILTY OF ACCEPTING RE
BATES FROM RAILROADS.
JUDGE LANDIS' FINE REVOKED
Government's Attorney Could Furnish
No Further Proof for Continua
tion of the Case.
Chicago, 111.—The Standard Oil
Company of Indiana has been found
not guilty of accepting rebates
from the Chicago ft Alton railroad ou
shipments of oil from Whiting, Ind.,
to East St. Louis, 111. The verdict
was returned by a jury in (he federal
court on instructions of Judge A. G.
Anderson, who averod that he fol
lowed the circuit court of appeals' de
cisions as to the verdict returned at
the former trial of the same case and
on which verdict Judge Landis as
sessed a fine of $29,240,000.
It was after Assistant District Attor
ney James 11. Wilkerson had argued
for two hours and in the end admitted
that the prosecution could not furnish
the further proof deemed necessary by
the court for a continuation of the
case that Judge Anderson announced
his decision. Mr. Wilkerson said that
the government could proceed no fur
ther and suggested dismissal of the
case.
Attorney John S. Miller, chief coun
sel In the case for the oil company,
immediately moved that there be an
instructed verdict of not guilty. The
court so ordered, and the jury, which
had been excluded during the argu
ments by the attorneys, was called in
and charged.
Judge Anderson quoted from the
opinion of the appellate court judges.
The strongest expression in favor of
his view, he said, was the statement
in that decision that "the most we can
say is that the question is one upon
which judges, after full discussion,
might very reasonably disagree."
MAJORZALINSKI PASStSAWAY
He Was the Inventor of the Pneu
matic Dynamite Torpedo Gun—
An Old War Veteran.
New York City.—Major Edmund
Louis Gray Zalinski, U. S. A., retired,
inventor of the pneumatic dynamite
torpedo gun and other military de
vices, died yesterday at the New York"
hospital from pneumonia after a short
illness, in his 60th year.
Maj. Zalinski was born in Kurnich,
Prussian Poland, but came to the
United States with his parents when
four years old. The family settled at
Seneca Falls, N. Y. When the civil
war broke out Zalinski, at the age of
15, entered the army as a volunteer
aide decamp on the staff of Gen. Nel
son A. Miles and served until the
close of the war. For gallantry at the
battle of Hatchers Run, Va., he was
given a commission of second lieu
tenant in the Second New York heavy
artillery, and when mustered out of
the volunteers was promoted to a sec
ond lieutenancy in the Fifth United
States artillery. He retired as a cap
tain in 1894, but in 1904 his grade was
raised to major. From 1872 to 1876
he served as professor of military
science at the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology.
POLISH PRIEST IS MURDERED
Three Men Entered His Study and
Opened Fire Upon Him —House-
keeper Is Wounded.
Newark, N. J. —Three men whose
features appear to have been con
cealed by their heavy overeats and
slouch hats walked into the study
of the Rev. Erasmus Ansion, pastor of
the Polish church of S»t. Stanislaus,
yesterday morning and opened fire up
on him. Three bullets front their
three revolvers hit the priest, killing
•him instantly.
The trio turned to make their es
cape and found their way blocked by
Mrs. Antonio Sewrzytska, the house
keeper. Without an instant's hesita
tion one of the visitors turned his re
volver upon her, inflicting a wound
which is likely to prove fatal. Then
all three rushed out into the street
and made their escape.
The police were put at work on the
case within a few minutes of the mur
der and by noon had rounded up four
suspects, one of whom the house
keeper, now in St. Barnabus hospital,
thought bore a resemblance to the
leader of the trio who had done the
shooting.
Steamers Collide in Dense Fog.
Chatham, Mass. —Blanketed by a
dense fog and proceeding at half
speed, the steamers Horatic Hal"
of the Maine Steamship Co., from
Portland for New York, and H. F.
Dimock, of the Metropolitan line, from
New York to Boston, met in the mid-
I die of the narrow channel known as

REPORT NAVAL ENGAGEMENT
The United States and Mexico Will

Washington, D. C. —Owing to the
continued disturbed conditions in
Nicaragua and President Zelaya's
failure to make serious efforts look
ing to the settlement of the Emery
claim, the state deparsnent yester
day, by withdrawing Mr Gregory, the
American charge at Ma.wua, and or
dering the legation pin -fed in the
hands of the consul, who will have no
diplomatic capacity, practically broke
off diplomatic relations with thart
country.
Affairs in Central America have
been closely watched by the Ameri
can and Mexican governments, both
of which have now come to an under
standing that the time has arrived
when drastic measures should be en
forced to insure peace in the Central
American republics.
Mexico City, Mexico. —A private
dispatch received here absolutely con*
firms the reported naval engagement
between the ships o. Hcaragua and
Salvador. Three Nicfc.'aguan gun
boats, led by the Momotombo, Tues
day attacked the Salvadorean gun
boat Presidente. The latter by a
lucky shot put the Momotombo out of
action almost at the beginning of the
engagement. The three Nlcaraguans
then withdrew. Later the Momo
tombo was repaired and went in pur
suit of the Presidente.
GENERAL TRADE VERY QUIET
Everywhere There Is Still Lacking
the Desired Animation—Better
Sentiment in Iron and Steel.
New York City.—R. G. Dun & Co.'s
Weekly Review of Trade says:
Milder weather will stimulate
spring sales, but general trade con
tinues quiet. Conditions are better
in the west than in the east, but
everywhere there is still lacking the
desired animation. Some progress
toward more settled conditions is
noted in iron and steel. The most
encouraging feature is the better sen
timent, and this has been followed by
an increased demand in some lines.
Best news comes from the structural
division, orders for material aggregat
ing a good volume while the new
prices are firmly maintained.
Western distributors of dry goods
particularly jobbing houses in the
northwest and Missouri river terri
tory report a satisfactory business,
but conditions are less satisfactory in
the coal and iron sections of the mid
dle west and among local jobbers. Ex
treme dullness prevails in the hide
and leather market, owing to the un
certainty of tariff legislation.
FORMATION OF A LARGE POOL
Owners of Large Lumber Carrying
Vessels of the Great Lakes Will
Sell Boats to Corporation.
Detroit, Mich.—The Free Press
says that the owners and managers
of 50 of the largest lumber carrying
vessels on the Great Lakes have
agreed to sell their boats to a cor
poration now in process of formation
which will own and operate 50 to 60
per cent of the lumber carriers of the
lakes.
Many prominent members of the
Lumber Carriers' association have
been in Detroit for two weeks and
preliminary arrangements for the or
ganization of the corporation were
completed at a two-days' conference
which ended here yesterday. The
value of the 50 vessels to be pur
chased at once has bcten. mutually
agreed upon as approximately $850.-
000. The new corporation will prob
ably be capitalized at $1,000,000.
It is said that the Hines and Blod
gett fleets, which figure prominently
in the project, move 200,000,000 feet
of timber in an average season. The
consolidation of interests is expected
to effect a considerable saving.

Butler.—The shearing department
of the Standard Steel Car Co.'s plant
has been put into operation and work
in the entire plant will be resumed
gradually, following a shutdown of
ten months. All the men needed are
now here ready togo to work. At
first it is expected the output will be
about 20 cars a day. The capacity is
125 cars.
Somerset.—The annual report for
the bituminous district, submitted by
Mine Inspector Thomas S. Lowther of
Somerset, shows 92 mines in the dis
trict, 76 in operation, with a produc
tion of 5,756,529 tons of coal, 2,225,559
tons produced by mining machines
and 3,530,970 by pick mining. The
number of inside employes was 7,776
and outside 986.
Harrisburg.—The department of
public grounds and buildings will re
turn to the treasury this year $925,-
638.48 of the million dollars set aside
for building bridges. The bill pre
sented merely makes the customary
appropriation, available in case of
need. The requirements the last two
years have been but $74,361.52, a fine
record for economy.
Harrisburg.—Mrs. Emma Hartz has
been arrested on an unusual charge
of stealing and altering the marriage
certificate of another woman, Sylvia
Z. Dishong. She has been lodged in
jail for a hearing. The woman is
said to have taken and .altered the
certificate to establish her marriage
to a youth considerably younger than
herself.
Harrisburg.—Before adjourning for
the week the house broke all previous
records by passing 73 first reading
bills in nine and one-half minutes.
Speaker Cox decided that he would
have a demonstration of team work
upon the part of his staff, and di
rected Chief Clerk Thomas H. Gar
vin to wind up the first reading cal
endar as quickly as possible. The re
sult was a new record.
Washington.—A series of robberies
in Wellsburg, \V. Va., culminated in
the arrest of seven small boys, who
styled themselves "The Scarlet
Seven," and who were caught robbing
the stores of J. M. Walker and the
Kyle Supply Co. The offenders range
in age from 6 to 12 years. All were let
off with a reprimand except Roy Haw
ley and John Trimmer, the alleged
ringleaders, who were held for further
action.
Somerset. —The county auditors,
who have just filed their annual re
port, charged the retiring board of
county commissioners and the board
of poor directors with misappropriat
ing county funds. Josiah Specht,
Robert Augustine and Charles S. Zim
merman, who compose the retiring
board, it is estimated by the auditors,
saved $2,302.73 for themselves in the
construction of two stone bridges.
The bridges, it is said, were shorter
than the specifications called for. On
other smaller items, it is said, illegal
profits were made.
South Bethlehem. Charles M.
Schwab, since his arrival home from
his recent trip, has decided to reduce
his clerical force to the lowest number
possible. Heretofore, a large force of
clerks was necessary to make out the
pay roll and pay the several thousand
men in cash, but recently Mr. Schwab
issued orders that, beginning April 1,
the 6,000 employes shall be paid by
checks. Many clerks will be thrown
out of work by this order, and the
First National bank of Bethlehem, the
steel company's local depositary, may
be compelled to employ additional
clerks to handle the thousands of
checks.
Harrisburg.—The state railroad
commission announced that it de
i lined to interfere with the regula
tions of the transportation of skunk
hides. This action was taken as the
result of 12 complaints made against
express companies between December
28 and March 8 by the Cory Hide &
Fur Co., almost all relative to the re
fusal of the companies to handle
hides of this well known fur-bearing
animal. The decision of the commis
sion in the case is that it "does not
regard as unreasonable the regula
tion made by express companies that
skunk hides must be shipped in tight
boxes and barrels in view of the
peculiar odor and tendency of such
odor to permeate the same compart
ment."
Harrisburg. The house without
amendment passed the bills introduced
by Senator Langfitt authorizing mu
nicipalities or counties, separately or
Jointly, to "purchase or condemn pub
lic toll bridges crossing rivers or
streams within (he limits thereof," and
they now goto the governor for his
approval. There are three of these
bills. One authorizes municipalities,
as such, to acquire bridges within
their limit; the other gives the same
■power to counMes, and the third per
mits Hie joint exercise of such authoi
ity by county and city.
