NOT A TRADE MARK.
Cigarmakers' Union Label So
Held in Court.
Counterfeiters of It Cannot
Then be Convicted.
DAMAGES MAY HAD.
That is the Only Recourse in
the Case.

ST. LOUIS, April 24.-The case of the
state VS.. Nathan Bailenzheimer, who
was convicted in the St. Louis criminal
court of counterfeiting the Union
1aber' of the Cigarmakers' union was
decided in the state court of appeals
yesterday. The opinion reverses the
ruling of the lower court on the grounds
that a trade mark must be a mark
or label used by certain party to
designate his goods. The Union label''
is not a trade mark. 1t is one
of the indispensable requisites to
a valid trade mark that it should point
out the true origin of ownership of a
vendible commodity to which it is
fixed. This label does not have this
quality. This association adopted the
label as trade mark without owning
or dealing in any goods to which it
must be attached, therefore no title to
it as a trade mark can accrue. For this
reason a person cannot be convicted of
counterfeiting a trade mark. This
court, however, holds that an injunc-
ton and damage suit can be laid under
similar circumstances provided it is
proven that the label is placed on nom
union goods.
A STUBBORN WRESTLING MATCH.
BUFFALO, N. Y, April 23.-The wrest-

of any on record. The men began
wrestling few minutes after o'clock
and tugged at each other hours and
IS minutes without either winning a
fall. At the end of that time Gilligan
gave up and Reakes was declared the
victor. The match was for $3.50 and
the gate receipts.

Informally Discussed.

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 13-LegislatOrs from

the State agricultural districts. The cOu-
sensus Of opinion is in favor of abolishiDg

View of Correspondent on the Port
Arthur Atrocities.

YOKOHAMA, December 27.-A corre-
spondent or the Japan Mail writes as fol-
lows in reference to the capture OF Port
Arthur, and the subsequent acts of cruelty
on the part of the victorious soldiers:
"There is no use TO attempt to cover up
or gloss over the terrible retribution meted
out by the Japanese at Port Arthur upon
the people found in that place-solders or
peaceful citizens-for- the brutal treat
ment OF Japanese by Cinnamon upon all
occasions when they have fallen into their
hands. Neither the japan Mail nor the
Japanese press can undo what has been
done. What has been written by the war

made by these eyewitnesses.

that what their correspondents have writ

authorities having command of the oper-

FOR THE U. s. SENATORSHIP
Irving NJ. Scott Said to Be Favored
as a Candidate.
INFORMAL GATHERING OF DEMOCRATS.
Now Comes the Latest RumOr, Which Is
That Burns Will Put Forward the
Name Of N. N. EStee.

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 13.-There is more
talk tonight of dark horse winning the
Senatorial fight than ever. There are all
sorts Of rumors afioat of deSertiOns from
the Republican caucus ranks but no one
seems able to name the deserters. There
seems good grounds for the belief that if
Perkins cannot secure success by the third
baHot he will be unable to hold his forces
together.
Senator Pedlar of Fresno, one Of the
Perkins men, is credited with saying that
be would not be surprised to see some one
win who has not yet come prominently
into the fight
Irving NJ. Scott seems to grow In favor
as candidate, and his nomination is
being advocated tonight in a quiet way.
An informal gathering of Democratic
legislators was held at the Capital Hotel
this afternoon, at which Senators Sewell,
Whltehurst and Burke. ana AssemblJman
Bachman and others were present. 1t
was declared not TO be a caucus, but
merely an informal gathering of num-
Der of Democrats who had remained over
t. Sacramento and was for the purpose OF
discussing the Senatorial situation.
One wag in the conference, referring to
the limited number of Democrats in the
Legislature. asked whether it was the in-
tention to join Bledsoe of Humboldt, who
forms party by himself, or whether that
AssemblYman would be invited to cast his
political lot with the Democrats.
The advisaoility of waiting upon some
one candidate to be complimented with
the Democratic nomination for United
States Senator was discussed, as was also
the proposition of allowing the members
of the minority party to vote as individu-
ais for Whomever they preferred as DEM
ocrat.
A caucus Will be held some time during
the week, when a definite policy will be
outlined. Il seems assured that the Dam
ocratfc legislators will not vote as party
for any Republican candidate, but il the
struggle between the Republican factions
should prove prolonged one. it is possible
that the Democratic Senators and Assem-
biymen, OF a number OF them, may vote
for the Republican candidates indlvidu-
ally, as each may think he can thereby
best serve the Interest of the State.
NJ. n. de Young will not return to Sac
ramen;o until tomorrow, so that the prin-
cpal renter of the Senatorial struggle re-
mains in San Fransiseo for one day more.
Colonel Dan Burns is expected here any
day now. They say that Colonel Ma
yuma" will come with him as his valet.
The purpose of Burns coming is to receive
what patronage be may, and 10 take a
hand, if occasion tfftrs. in the Senatorial
fsht. II is believed here that he will
make a fight 10 have NJ. M. Estee nomi-
mated for Senator.

STRIKE ON TROLLEY LINES.
Nearly ALI the Brooklyn Cars Will Be
Tied Up To-Day.
anticipating the Action Of Employees the
Companies Will Attempt
General Lockout.

NEW YORK, Jan. 13-That the Brooklyn
trolley lines will be tied up lis now almost
certain, but just when is the question.
From what can be learned from the men
and their leaders the event is likely to
take place at o'clock tomorrow morning.
The men are in favor of this movement,
and the leaders have already expressed
their intention of carrying out their
wishes At the various trolley stations
to-day the foremen were served with no.
tice from the railway officials 10 the effect
that every man who refused to take out
car at any time would be discharged.
Lster-At meeting of the board Of the
D. a. K. of L. tonight, Master Workman
Connolly gave out the brief statement hat
the employees Of all the street railways in
Brooklyn, with the exception of the Smith
and Jay street line, would strike at 8
O'Clock Tomorrow morning. In explana-
ton he said President Slocum of the lat
ter line had agreed to accept the terms as
proposed by the men.
Previous to the meeting Connolly said
that 10 the early evening 1000 electrical
workers employed by the various compan-
les had been asked by the officials il in the
event of strike they would take the
places OF the motormen and conductors,
and that they had refused. Thereupon
they were told there was no further work
for them. As the conductors and motor
men of the various lines came in tonight
for the final trip of the day, they made the
usual inquiry as to what car they should
take out in the morning. They were told
they would be required to take none out,
as no schedule had been arranged. This
is looked on as indicating lockout.

INDUCED in the Japanese press acknowl-
edge, but they seek to limit the measure
thereof, Humane methods between op-
posing forces in war are the outcome of
discipline rather than tbs result of BROTH
erly love. Where barbarities are initiated
revenges in kind are sure to follow. All
the civilization of the ages, all Christian
teaching will not deter men from striking

in the field held their hand as they did
prior to the episode at Port Arthur shows
conclusively that they were under strong
