Latest Estimates Place the Number At

Latest Estimates Place the Number al
About 5000.
Most Of the correspondents at Johnstown.
Pa. have revised their early estimates OF
the number OF lives lost They say the en-
tire population OF the three boroughs In
which the loss OF life was is admitted not to
exceed $4,000 OF these over 1900 are al
ready accounted for. Add to this list OF
people accounted for those who left imme-
diately after the food. those who have left
since without registering-th register OF
the saved was not opened until several days
after the fiood-and 1t brings the estimate
down considerably. There are any num-
Der OF survivors In the district swept by
the food who have not yet registered. and
the guards ut the bridge kept a good many
from registering who wished to. A number
were not allowed to pass because they did
not have masses. In view OF these facts
and figures 1t does not seem as though the
loss could be more than 5000. and the most
conservative people still stick to 5000 as
the figures. Only about 1850 bodies have
been recovered so far. and this leaves $500
still unaccounted for. 1t is difficult to be-
lieve tina. more than that number could be
entirely lost.

The Hostettcrs Stomach Bitters Peopl
Score Another Point

In the United States Circuit Court for the
Southern District of New York, Judge shipman
handed down an oppinion few days ago in the
suit of the owners Of the trademarks covering
Hostetters Stomach Bitters against Arnold
Theller and Cornell Theller the compounders,
located ON vesey street, New York City, in which
II was decided that. although tho defendants
made use OF their own names ON the labels af-
fixed TO the bottles containing bitters prepared
by them, yet as they wore evidently designed TO
initiate the Hostetter labels, they were infrin-
gers, and perpetual injunction was granted and
an accounting of damages ordered, together
with the costa of the suit. IL IL the evident In
tention OF the Hostetter people TO protect their
valuable trademark against all infringers, and
the granting of the above injunction win en-
courage them to renew their efforts against the
rayishes Of the omnipresent infringer.
