THE PriTSBtma DISBATCH. ERUJAY. MAT 20, 1892.
BROOKS AN AMERICAN.
And the Charge That the Alien Con
tract Law Yas Broken by
THE PITTSBURG TERRA COTTA CO.
Fell Very Flat, Indeed, in the United States
Court Yesterday.
IH1 LABOR KKTCS OP THE TWO CITIRS
The Pittsburg Terra Cotta Company was
arraigned in the United States Court yester
day, charged ith violating the alien con
tract labor law. It turned out the firm Had
been arrested for employing a free-born
American citizen.
This case excited a great deal of interest,
as it was the first or the kind brought up in
Pittsburrr. Last summer, during the brick
layers' strike, the Terra Cotta company was
in need of men, and it heard that Robert
Brooks, a bricklayer, was in some town in
Canada. The firm wrote to the man, and
he came on to Pittsburg and went to work.
The Bricklayers' Union heard of this and
brought the suit, expecting to show the firm
had violated the alien contract law. They
intended to prove it by 3Ir. Brooks, and he
was the only witness put on the stand. He
said he was an American ci'izen. Last
summer he went to Canada to visit some
friends, and while there he received a
letter from the Terra Cotta Company
stating he would be given employment.
The letter said the firm paid bricklayers Si
lor a nine-hour work day. There nere no
specifications relative to a contract AV. D.
llenry. Secretary of the company, admitted
having written the letter.
Mr. Brooks' testimony ended the case.
Judge Buffington then charged the jury. He
raid the case came neither within the letter
nor the spirit of the law. 3Ir. Brooks was an
American citizen auay lor an indefinite
period only, and the letter upon which his
services were secured showed Ho evidence
of a contract. He told the jury to bring in
a verdict for the defense. It was done with
out the jury leaving the box.

PROF. O. A. BUOWNSON.
It is with profound regret that we record
theueath of Pi or. O. A. Brownson, which
took placo at his home on Friday morning
at 9 o'clock on April 29. About four weeks
apo ho was taken down with la grippe,
which later on developed heart trouble, tho
immediate cause of his death.
Prof. Brownson ns born in Ithaca, X. Y.,
in 1823 Alter receiving a thorough col
legiate education, he visited nearly every
country. Early in tho CO's he went to Du
buque, la., and from IOCS to 1S78 wa- princi
lal ol the First ward school. He afterward
presided over the Dodse sticet school, hut
leelins the weight ot his years retired to his
iarni near Key West.
The following account of the deceased wo
take from the Dubuane Daihi RernM-
"Prof. Brow son loved his profession, was a
tireless noiker in the cause of education,
and did uiucn to advance tho public schools
of the city. When tlm school system was as
sailed he was ever leady to dufend it witli
his tongue and pen. A few years ago lie
issued a pamphlet In which no made a strong
detciise of public education. During tho
many years ho presided over tho First ward
school he popularized it in many ways, civ
ing occasional entertainments theio in
whfch his pupils participated. These always
attracted crowds of patents and lricndsof
education, and Inured grsatlv to the Im
provement of tile bovs and girfs.
"In tho school Prof. Brownson was always
popular with his pupils. Sliiny of them who
are to-day prominent in businesiandprotcs
sional cncfes in Dubuque Rivo theirold pro-fe-sor
the ciotlic for much of their success
because of the foundations laid for their
futures under his guidance.
"Naturally, as might be expected of one so
thoroughly devoted to the cause of educa
tion, Piot. Brownson was a great student
and reador. His mind was a, rich stoi chouse
orknowledgo to which ho added daily, and
since liis retirement from active lite his
books have been his constant companions.
His keen mental faculties found particularly
ngreeaulo employment at times in the in
tricacies or cliess, at which 'king's pastime'
lie had few supeiiors in tho country. For
several years he edited and published tho
Chess -Journal, which is far and wide con
ceded to be one of tho ablest journals of Its
kind."

The New York World of last Sunday con
tains a short account of Mr. F. M. Teed. Ho
was born in Westchester county. N. Y., on
December 7, 1S53. He learned tho game in
1S71 whilo at school in Norwalk, Conn. Seven
years later he won second piizo in tho
handicap tournament of tho New York
Chess Club. In 1881 he won second prize in
tho handicap and first prize in tho cham
pionship tournament of tho -Manhattan
Cliess Club. In 1889 lie carried oft first prize
in tho handicap of tho Brooklyn Chess Club.
During tho filth American Chess Congress
ho acted as Secretary. He prefers, how
ever, to bo considered a problem student,
composer and critic rather than a player.
Hero are his own words:
I hare devoted considerable time to the collection
and arrangement of some unique manuscript
books of problems, classified -arcordlng to ldex,
eic. Fur example. I have a "Bristol" book,
wherein all the problem are based on that famous
Uieine, which it one that can lie illustrated by
moving any piece. This book Is divided into parts
something like this:
Part I., section I Two moves, king moving.
Parti., section 2 Two move, queen moving.
Parti., section 3 Two moves, rook moving.
(Etc., fir six sections.)
Part II.. section 1 Three moves, ting moving.
(Etc.. etc.. six sections.)
This runs up to seven or eight mm es.
Then I have an "Indian" boov. divided thus:
I., I., 2 moves, covering bishop.
I., II., 2 moves, covering rook.
II., I., 3 moves, covering n.
II.. II.. 3 moves, covering B.
And soon. Of course a queen l sometimes cov
ered, hut such covering Is altvats either diagonally
or on a line, so the abore headings suffice for all
kinds nf Indians." I have started another vol
ume devoted to the ' "catching" idea or "grab
scheme. " as Carpenter calls It, and have a lot of
problems noted for entrv In yet another book to be
devoted to the intersection"." of which that2-'-r
I arpenter admired Is an example. Thercare s'lll
other diagram lmos devoted to 2-ers and 3-crs
(choice) arranged according to the number of
pieces used, one tor pan n$s only, another for end
fames, etc. etc I mention all this to show you
that lam giving all my chess leisure to problems'
in some lorm or other, aud don't really care to be
looked upon as a player.
The London Standard states that n match
between Dr. Tarraseh and M. Tschigoriu is
about to be arranged under the auspices of
tho "Boi liner Schach Klub."
Mr. James Plorco died on the 26th of Ajiril
after a short illness. Ho was In his Mill

The play resolved itself into a very critical stage

match. The following shows the ending:

At this point It was thought by all that W yllle
had lost tncgaiue. but the brilliant stroke soon
gave him a clearance out of nis difficulties.
The Switcher." which Is considered aweak
game for the white side, was named by Wyllie as
Ihe next restricted opening an opening which he
invented many years ago, and at that time
switched" allcomers.' 'lhijgamc has now been
opened up. however, by a considerable amount of
Subllsucu pUv. and Jordan seemed to be quite at
ome. The following Is the ending:

piece beiore he could make up his mind to move.

spectators showed a desire fur another game to be
y
piayen, and it was consequently agreea upon.
lordan in this (the eighth) game played the black
side In the Switcher" opening, which lasted only
some 30 minutes, resulting also in a draw. The

THIIID DAY'S PLAY.
Mr. 'Wyllie on Thursday, being his turn to choose
an opening, named the "Edinburgh Switcher."
This game Is well known as a weak upenlDg for the
black men, and is ot such a nature as to admit of
considerable scope in the pla. The "Herd Lad
die." as was expected, had the more cautious part
to perform with the black men, and during the
course of the game was frequently called to lime,
'ihe following positions occurred well on la the
play i

Thlt opened the points at which both player
werccidtt'd to time. The game now arrived at a
critical point, aud evcrjouewas on tiptoe a3 to
whether cither of the players was likely to make
mistake, as the slightest miscalculation on either
side would hate lesulted disastrously. The KJuie
was contluued as follows:

a requisite in every kitchen,
the Great American Hog

the new vegetable substi

occupation's gone.
The reason for this
