CANNOT SECURE THAT WAY.
An Important Decision Covering
Sales of Retailers on Com

missions.
CHICAGO, January pa case of
great Importance to manufacturers
and retail dealers has just been de-
cided by United States Judge Gross
cup. A retail haberdasher named
Schuster, was closed up on an exc
cution and the United States mar
shall was instructed to sell the
goods at public sale. A local firm
of wholesale manufacturers of COL
lars and cuffs filed as intervenars a
petition, claiming that among the
stock Of the delinquent haber-
dasher was large consignment Of
collars and cuffs which belong to
them. The intervenars claimed
three years ago they made con-
tract with Schuster to furnish him
with stock Of their goods, retain
ing, however, the proprietary in
terest, Schuster paying them at
the end Of each month for the
amount of his sales during
the month. Counsel for the other
creditors argued that any such con-
tract was clearly against public
policy, as it gave the consignee an
appearance of ownership and en-
abled him to get a credit that other
wise he could not obtain. The
argument proved weighty with
the court, for Judge Grosscup sus-
tanned the position and dismissed
the wholesalers bill for want of
equity. This decision will have
especial weight with manufacture
ers of agricultural and musical in
struments, as it is an open secret
that retail dealers in these classes
of goods almost entirely sell on
commission.

BOOKED FOR PERDITION.
A YOUNG MAN WHO WILL NOT
KEEP OUT OF THE PENITEN-
TIARY.
His Father has Spent Thousands
Trying to Settle His Thefts
and Forgeries, But With
out Result.

CHICAGO, Jan. 22.-B. F. Hager-
man, said to be the son OF Phila-
delphia capitalist, is under arrest
here charged with passing bogus
checks. The police say that this is
not Hagerman's first delinquency,
having been arrested a year ago
for the theft of lot Of jewelry
from Miss Ida Bennett, who lives
on Chestnut street, Chicago. This
scrape was hushed up by the young
mans relatives. At that time it
was thought he was wanted in
Houston, Texas, for passing bogus
and forged checks. kilograms were
sent to the chief Of police there
and it was learned that his di fiji.
culties there were settled by his
father. In several other cities, it Is
said, young Hagerman has COM
mitted felonies Of various kinds
and that his father has spent thou
sands of dollars trying to keep
him from the penitentiary. He
is now charged by B. s.
Stephens, of No. 403 Walnut ave-
nue., with passing forged checks.
The complainant claims he sold
Hagerman the diamonds and &C
copied forged check in payment.
Later, he says, he found the check
was worthless and reported the
matter to the police. After young
Hagerman had secured Stephens
diamonds he went to the Illinois
Central depot and took a train for
New Orleans. Before leaving the
depot, however, it is said he pick
ed up a valise which belonged to
an English woman and checked 1t
to his destination. This is what
led to his arrest. Arriving at New
Orleans Hagerman demanded the
baggage which had been stopped
by the real owner at Chicago, and
being promised settlement by
the railroad for the $500 worth OF
valuables he was decoyed back to
the depot and arrested. When
informed that he was under arrest
the young man attempted to kill
the detective. He was prevented
by an officer who seized his arm
and disarmed him. The young
man begged for his valise and the
return of his revolver. He is %

Reichstag's Action.
THEIR REFUSAL TO CONGRATU-
LATE BISMARCK

Prince Ii Hung Chang Attacked by
Japanese Fanatic and Seriously
Wounded-Yesterday's Yachting Eveuts
at Nice-Other Matters of Interest.
Berlin, March 23-The loss of the army
bill could not have excited Germany
more than the Reichstag's refusal to
congratulate Prince Bismarck. The mo-
nent the result of the vote was known,
DR.. Won Boettioher hurried to the tele-
phone and told the Emperor, who was
waiting the news in the old castle. Herr
Won Lusanus, chief of his majesty's
civil cabinet, went directly from the i'm
perial box to the castle and described to
the Emperor the scenes of tumult in the
Reichstag.
When the Emperor drove out at Unter
den Linden between 8 and O'Clock,
he looked unusually sullen. All the
officials likely to know the Emperor's
feelings, agree that he is intensely dis
turbed by the Reichstag's exhibition of
itself. Hs is understood to have ex-
claimed at the end of Lucanus's narra-
tive: "It issscandalous. The vote is a
reflection on me. the government and all
the authorities and societies, who will
unite in honoring Bismarck" The pecu-
liar feature of the whole affair is the
apparent Indifference or Ignorance with
which the Emperor and ministers despite
all unmistakable warnings, again steered
straight into defeat. The Emperor could
hardly have been ignorant of what every
body else knew. He must have been in
formed that Thursday the Soci cialists,
Catholics. Richter Radicals and Poles
had formed a coalition to reject the Lev
etzow motion. The same day represen-
tatives of all parliamentary parties met
and after the stormiest of debates, sepa-
rated with mutual declarations of def
ance and reproach. Herr Won Levetzow's
final efforts to save his motion were
made Friday. He tried to induce DR..
Lieber. the clerical leader, to keep his
party from voting, but failed to aet any
pledge, although Leiber himself opposed
the extreme action of the lest of the
Catholics. The relations of the parties
are more embittered by yesterdays vote
them by any purely political differences
since the close ofthe Kulturkampf. Several
deputies who favored the motion, regard
the Reichstag's decision as a personal
affair and have approached tbs ministers
privately to urge the temporary suspen-
sion of the session, looking TO d dissuln-
tion in the near future. "A lrendy the

AN EMBARRASSING TREATY

BY Which the United States Guaranteed to
Panama.
Washington, March 23.-Rear Admir-
al Jouett in an interview published to
day called attention to the fact that by
treaty with New Granada (now the
United States of Columbialmade in 1916,
the United States of America guaranteed
the perfect neutrality of the lsthmus of
Panama, it's rights, property and sover-
eighty, which Columbia might have and
possess over the Isthmus. II don't know
how such treaty came to be made, he
said, "yet the United States is response

1856 he was ordered to Colon where the
revolu tionists had destroyed million
dollars worth of property, mostly Amer
ican, and had closed a railroad. The
admiral landed men from the vessels of
his fleet and opened railroad and kept
it open for four months. In that case, "
said the admiral, "we dealt with the
revolutionary forces. What would have
been the result if Colum bia had been at

ssDiscussing the situation in Nicaragua,
Admiral Jouett said the United States
agreed to protect the line of inter-oceanic
communication across that country and
guarantee it's neutrality and innocent
use. No such route was opened in Mic
aragua and the cases are not exactly
parallel. The United States, ho thought,
could hardly interfereSwith Great Britain
in an effort to collect damages under a
just claim. For we have ourselves set
precedent by bombarding Grey town in
1858. Even if Great Britain should take
possession of the custom house at Grey
town the actfwould not be without prece-

have to be very watchful to see that the
