SOLVERS' SCORE.
PROF, O. A. BROWNSON.

1t is with profound regret that we record
the death of Prof. o. A. Brownson, which
took place at his home on Friday morning
at o'clock on April 20. About four weeks
ago he WAS taken down with Ii grippe,
which later op developed heart trouble, the
immediate cause of his death.
Prot: Brownson was born in Ithaca, n. Y,
in 1923 After receiving u thorough col
legiate education, he visited nearly every
country. Early in the COS he went to Du-
buque, Ia, and from 1865 10 1878 was princi-
pal OF the First ward school. He afterward
presided over the Dodge street school, but
feeling the weight OF his years retired to his
farm near Key West.
The following account of the deceased we
take from the Dubuque Daily Herald:
"Prof. Browson loved his profession was n
tireless worker in the cause of education
and did much TO advance the public schools
of the city. When the school system was as
sailed he was ever ready to defend it with
his tongue and pen. A few years ago he
issued pamphlet in which he made strong
defense of public education. During the
many years he presided over the First ward
school he popularized it in many ways, CIV
ing occasional entertainments there in
which his pupils participated These always
attracted crowds OF parents and friends of
education, and Injured greatly to the i'm.
provement of the boys and girls.
"1n the school Prof. Brownson was always
popular with his pupils. Many of them who
are to-day prominen ent in business and pro fes-
sional circles in Dubuque give their old pro-
fessor the credit 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, Prof Brownson was great student
and reader. His mind was a rich storehouse
of knowledge to which he added daily, and
since his retirement from active life his
books have been his constant companions
His keen mental faculties found particularly
agreeable employment aJ times in the in
tricacies of chess, at which kings pastime
he had few superiors in the country. For
several years he edited and published the
Chess Journal, which is far and wide con-
ceded to be one Of the ablest journals of its
kind"

BROOKS AN AMERICAN.
And the Charge That the Alien Con-
tract Law Was Broken by
THE PITTSBURG TERRA GOTTA co.
Fell Very Flat, Indeed, in the United States
Court Yesterday.
THE LABOR NEWS OF THE TWO CITIES

The Pittsburg Terra Gotta Company was
srraigned in the United States Court yester-
day, charged with violating the alien con-
tract labor law. 1t turned out the firm had
been arrested for employing a free-born
American citizen.
This case excited great deal of interest.
as it was the first of the kind brought up in
PittsburC Last summer, during the brick
LAYERS strike, the Terra Gotta company was
in need of men, and it heard that Robert
Brooks, bricklayer, was in some town in
Canada. The firm wrote to the man, and
he came on to Pittsburg and went to work.
The Bricklavers' Union heard of this and
brought the suit, expecting to show the flrm
had violated the alien contract law. They
intended to prove it by Mr.. Brooks, and he
was the only witness put on the stand. He
said he was an American citizen. Last
summer he went to Canada to visit some
friends, and while there he received a
letter from the Terra Gotta Company
stating he would be given employment.
The letter said the firm paid bricklayers S4
for a nine-hour work day. There we're no
specifications relative to a contract. w. ID.
Henry, Secretary of the company, admitted
having written the letter.
Mr.. Brooks testimony ended the case.
Judge Burlington then charged the jury. He
said the case came neither within the letter
nor the spirit of the law. Mr.. Brooks was an
American citizen away for an indefinite
period only, and the letter upon which mis-
services were secured showed no evidence
of contract He told the jury to bring in
a verdict for the defense 1t was done with
out the jury leaving the box.

The New York World of last Sunday con-
tains short account of Mr.. f. NJ. Teed. He
was born in Westchester county, N Y, on
December Z. 1856. He learned the game in
1911 while at school in NOrwalk, Conn. Seven
years later he won second prize in the
handicap tournament of the New York
Chess Club. In 1881 he won second prize in
the handicap and first prize in the cham
pionship tournament of the Manhattan
Chess Club In 1889 he carried off first prize
in the handicap of the Brooklyn Chess Club.
During the fifth American Chess Congress
lie acted as Secretary. He prefers, how
ever, to be considered problem student,
composer and critic rather than player.
Here are his own words:
have devoted considerable time to the collection
books Of problems classified according to idea
etc. For example, l have BRISTOL book
theme, which Is one that can be illustrated BY
moving any piece. This book is divided into parts
Part l., section 1.-Two moves king moving.
Fart /. section section Two moves, queen
Part H.. section Three moves. ling moving.
(Etc., etc., six sections.
This runs up to seven eight moves.
Then have an INDIAN book. divided thus:
I.,-L.-2 moves, covering bishop.
Ill, -2moves. covering rook.
H.,-I.,-3 moves. covering B.
I'LL. "a moves, covering r.
And so on. Or course queen is sometimes COW
cred, but such covering Is always either diagonally
or on line, so the above headings suffice for all
kinds of indians ! have started another vol
ume devoted to the Catching idea or grab
scheme, " as Carpenter calls ii, and have lot OF
problems noted for entry in yet another book TO be
devoted to the intersections " of which that 2-rr
Carpenter admired is an example. There are still
other diagram books devoted to 2-ers and 3-ers
(choice) arranged according to the number of
pieces used, one for pawn IS only another for end
Sames ETC.. etc. mention all this to show you
that am giving all my chess leisure to problems
in some form other. and don't really care to be
looked upon as a player.
The London Standard states that match
between DR.. Tarrasch and NJ. Tschigorin is
about to be arranged under the auspices of

Mr.. James Pierce died on the 26th Of April
after a short illness. He was in his 59th
year. having been born on July l, 1888, and
WAS long and widely known rs Il problem
composer and also as chess editor of the
English Mechanic for nearly 20 years. He was
joint author with his brother, Mr. w. Tim

and the Picrcc-Gambit Chess Papers," He
was also one of the editors of the British
Chess Magazine for a number of years.
