in Manchester. This is the whole
question. Mr.. Treaschere, one of the
Under Secretaries of the British |
Treasury, wrote a report to Parl,a
ment some years ago asserting tha. it
was quite common for British manu-
facturrrs to combine and un6 arsell, at
great loss to themselves, home produc-
tions in o.har countries, until they
get full possession of the foreign mar
kcts by stopping home productions in
those countries, when they would run
up the price and make up in few
months their great losses They did
this here several times. when, after
closing our industrial works, they ran
goods to fabulous prices. When our
own factories were running in 1882
American calico was sfld for IL to 10
cents per yard. In 1912, when Eng
land had complete possession of our
markets, her shopkeepers charged our
people 40 cents per yard for her calico
So il was with every article she sent
us. In 1882 the duty on nails was J
cents per pound. American nails were
sold then at 6 and Z cents per pound.
The British lobly in Washington then,
as now, succeeded III getting this duty
taken off in the sliding, reducing scale

nail factories immediately closed, AMI
English manufacturers ran up the
price to IL cents per pouid in 1912.
At this period john P. Hale. Of New
Hampshire. succeeded ia putting
duty on nails Of 3 cents per pound.

Every Christmas since we

in Handkerchief has not
grown by chance. We began
by selling none but "all-

mixed. Do you know how
few can tell the difference be-
tween the two-about five out
of the hundred. You do not
have to be Linen.wise to buy

can tell which is which.
Here is one infallible sign:
Tear the Handkerchief both

doesn't tear at all, or tears
hard, leaving rough uneven
edge, it is all-linen. Besides,
pure linen is cold aud CLASSY

washes whittier and winter.
Cotton or linen-nixed Hand
kerchiefs are creamy, soft,

J. Richards, insane, has filed a bill in
equity against Lulu 9. Richards, asking

ond jury was impaneled on the petition

the Police Court.
In the Police Court this morning Cap.
tain John b. Footo was tried on the
charge of making threats and carrying
concealed weapons. Captain Foote had
been boarder in the house OF his sister
in-law, who resides at 1lt6 Tenth street
northwest, but left her house because of
domestic difficulties prior to Thanksgiv-
ing day. The prosecution showed by
Fanny Ford. who was employed as a
servant by Mrs. Foote, that the defend
ant had repeatedly exhibited revolver
and u rifle and threatened to kill the
whole household if he were denied ad-
mittance.
Mrs. Foote testified that the defendant
had told her that he would knock her
down and kill her." while making a call
at her house, and that she feared that
he would carry out his threat.
The brother of the defendant was
vigorous witness. He claimed that his
brother was an habtual drunkard and
generally rascal
The defense called Captain Foote, who
made n sweeping denial of all the charges
and then produced witnesses to testify to
his good character.
Judge Miller took the personal bonds
of the defendant to keep the peace.
The New York brother of the defend
ant, after the close of the trial, and while
standing within the Enclosure of the
court, said while shaking his fist in his
face: II won't bring you into the Police
Court next time, but will fix you
myself
Mr.. shillington remarked. maybe
you can act that way In New York, but
you can't do it here" After which Cap.
tain Foote apologized and left the court.

A DIsAGREEABLE ACCIDENT.
A Pistol Fired UnpIeasantiy Near the
Head OF II City Hall clerk

Head OF City Hall clerk
The employees in the Record Office at
the City Hall were startled this morning
by the report of pistol shot, coming
from one of the copying rooms in the rear
of the main office. A number Of people
hurried into the room, and pistol was
found In the hands of H. II. Anderson,
who is employed there at clerical work.
Anderson explained that he did not
know 1t was loaded.
NJ. j. Kendrick, also employed in the
office, said that Anderson came in and
flourished n pistol under his face saying
that he had just come across II to-day
The pistol went off the ball passing some
distance from Hendricks head. Ken
drick Is deaf and his statement was made
in response to some written questions. He
said that he did not think that Anderson
had any intention of shooting him as he
did not seem to be at all angry
They had not been unfrieudly, al
though an incident occurred last Friday
which caused Anderson to blame Ken
drick. Kendrick, in relating the oc-
currence, said that il was rule of the
office that no clerk should go away from
the Office and leave the bundle of deeds
in his desk, but must carry them out into
the main office. Anderson had gone
out, intending TO return, and Recorder
Trotter came in and took his bundle of
deeds and refused to give them back to
him until the next day.
Kendrick had once or twice, on similar
occasions. taken charge of the deeds for
him, and Kendrick says Anderson was
disposed to find fault because he did not
do so this time.
The pistol was small, single-barreled
affair, and Kendrick is inclined to laugh
at the entire matter. He does not APP
parently entertain the slightest doubt
that it was entirely an accident.
