DEBs' CHRISTMAS
Ahe hallway Union Leaders Can Spend

Shicago, Dec. 24-President Debs and
une other directors of the American Rail-
way Union will have chance to spend
CHRISTMAS with their families. notwitb-

MS original order so as to make the SEN

oegin Jan. s, and in the Santa Fe case
when the government sentences shall

MADE the request to facilitate the legal
proceedings which will be instituted TO
Tree the men. 1t is admitted on all sides
that no habeas corpus proceeding would

the original order of the court. which
made the two sentences begin and end
at the same time. Proceedings will at
once be instituted to get the government
case before the supreme court on a cues
ton of habeas corpus.
In speaking of this change of plan At
torney barrow said: This may have the
effect of giving our clients double time,
nut they are willing to take this risk on
account of the Importance of the case to
the labor interests. There was no other
method of procedure. We may try the
circuit court of appeals as well as the SUI
preme court. Judge Woods has advised
US to try both plans"
In extending the time Judge Woods
said: 4 have no desire to see these men
spend their Christmas in jail. In fact, it
was in my mind to extend a stay of SEN
tence voluntarily if the accused had not
suggested it,"
Edwin Walter asked that the prisoners
be made to give bail, but Judge Woods al
lowed them to go on their own recog-
nizance.
Vice President Howard was not present
in court.
President Debs took a cheerful view of
the probability of spending another six
months in jail. 1T is for the good of the
cause" he said. IF we are to be kept
from expressing our opinion while strike
is going on and probably be convicted of
murder if somebody is killed during a
strike instituted by us, we want to know
it, even if We have to spend five years
in Jail TO find it out"

MCBRIDE ON THE MINERS.
He Thinks the Men will Have to Take
What Thy Can Get.

Massilon, o.. Dec. A-John Mcbride, in
an interview this morning, declares that
the miners of the United States must
take what can be obtained, and wait
in patience for an opening for success
full movement. "Our miners are getting
wages just above the starvation point,
and some are menaced by another reduc-
ton. for which no one has expressed a
desire"
Mr. Mcbride suggests that perhaps the
true solution of the miners problem will
be found in the extraction of coal dis
tricts like Massilon, and an enforced re-
duction of mining speculation. thereby
insuring steady work and fair pay.
Il believe the government Should oper-
ate all lines of production and transpor-
tation that the people may elect, and that
the accumulation of vast fortunes should
be prevented by limiting the amount one
man may leave to his heirs"
The Pocock miners refused to go to
work this morning at the so cent rate. The
outlook for a general acceptance of the
arbitrators' award is gloomy.

a DECISION AGAINST EDISON.
The American Graphaphone Company
Wins It's Suit.

Washington, Dec. PA decision was to
day rendered in the supreme court of the
Dictrict of Columbia in the suit which
has been pending for nearly two years,
brought by the American Graphaphone
Company, nominally against the Column
bia Photograph Company, but the real
parties defendant being Thomas A. Edi-
son and the Edison Photograph Com
pany. This is the judicial settlement of
the question of who really invented the
commercial photograph and graphaphone
now so largely in use.
The Edison Company withdrew counsel
and allowed judgment to be taken by de-
fault
The court finds for the American
Graphaphone Company on every point, is
sues a decree of injunction against the de-
PENDANTS, and orders an accounting by
the auditor of the court. Other suits are
pending in New Jersey, New York, Ohio,
Massachusetts, Illinois and Kansas.
1t is said that over $1,000 900 are now in
vested in the graphaphone and phono-
graph interests and this decree is of es-
pecal Importance, as it effects directly or
indirectly every user of the Edison phono-
graph and every cylinder containing a
sound record.

OF the country were not only costly as

unique. Among the latter was a highly
polished bison horn made into an ink
stand, sent with the condiments of the

the packages with little more care than

work but whether this was from fear or
reverence is hard to say. On the part of
the White House officials, however, it
was fear to greater or less extent, for
the current Newspaper reports of the day

highly possible that in an assortment of
bundles from turkey to a picture book

sengers were given even a more cautious
reception than those that came by ex-
press, while those by mail though they
were looked upon with chances askance,
were not so much feared, because of the
severe test their explosive capabilities
have been treated to in the mail.

Washington, Dec. 24-The Turkish lega-

announced the execution of thirty-six Ar

was not correct, the facts being as fol-

HETTY GREEN FEARS MURDER.
She Tells a Strange Story in a Suit
Against Executors.

New York, Dec. 24.-One of the most re-
markable cases ever brought into the
American courts promises to be that of
Mrs. Hetty Green, one of the richest
women in America, against the executors
and trustees of her fathers estate, involv-
ing millions of dollars.
According. to the story told to-day by her
lawyer, William H. Stayton. Mrs. Green
is in fear Of her life. A belief, firmly fixed,
that bandSof conspirators took the life of
her father, Edward M. Robinson, and her
aunt, Sylvia Ann HowlaRd, of New Bed
ford, years ago, and are now daily seek
ing the lives of herself and her children
continually haunts her. Glass, she de-
clares, has been placed in her food not
six months back, blocks of wood and stones
have been hurled at her from windows as
she was passing on the sidewalks and on
numerous occasions her life has been
threatened.
Whether or not Mrs. Green is the victim
of a strange halucination remains to be
learned, but that her fears have melted her
to lead the life of a recluse, there can be
no doubt.
