MISS LETTER INDIGNANT.
Denies the Reported Marriage to

New York, Feb. 15.-Aiss Daisy Letter

emphaticaIy, when asked about the Wal

AS Miss Letter continued to gaze at the
reproduction of the marriage certificate
she became more indignant. She could
hardly contain herself as she continued:
Serious is out Of the question 1t was he

came to New York to escape the gossip
about the daughter and Wallach
Washington, Feb. 15.-Mrs. Rose Wal
and mother of Bob Wallach, said she
had never objected to the opposition of
the Letters to the marriage of their
daughter to her son, but to the manner
of it. She considered it the height of i'm
pudence. She believes her son when he
tells her that he is not married to Miss
Letter. She says:
My opposition to the faintest sugges-
ton of a proposed marriage Of Robert
and Miss Letter has been as strong, if not
stronger. than any opposition of the Lei
ters. Not only did Robert know of my
feelings in the matter, but Miss Letter did
as well. When it was talked that they

floor of my home, Miss Letter learned un-
qualifedly that 1 should not have her in

The prevailing opinion in Washington is
that Mrs. Wallach was more than desirous
that her son should marry Miss Letter.

PIPE TRUST ROUTED.
q. S. Court Holds Both Organization
and Business Methods to Be
Illegal

Cincinnati, Feb. 15.-The United States
circuit court of appeals for the sixth
circuit today decided the cast iron
pipe trust case. Mr.. Justice Harlan and
Circuit Judges Taft and Lurton COM
posed the court.
Judge Taft delivered the opinion. The
suit was begun in the United States
circuit court at Chattanooga by a bill
in equity filed by the attorney general
of the United States against six cast
iron pipe companies.
The court of appeals held, first, that
the contract of association, even if the
prices fixed under it were reasonable
and it's only purpose was to prevent
ruinOus competition as claimed by the
defendants was nevertheless void at
common law because in restraint of
trade and an attempted monopoly; sec
ond that the prices were not reasonable
and the purpose was an attempted mo-
nOpolv Third, that the trade restrained
nv the contract of association was the
negotiation and sale of pipe to be de-
Hvered across state lines from the state
of manufacture to the state OF sale and
that this was under all the decisions of
the supreme court interstate commerce;
and fourth, as a conclusion from these
premises that the contract of aSsocia-
tion was a restraint and burden on
Interstate commerce and a violation OF
the federal antitrust act and should
he eniOined. The court distinguished
their case from the sugar trust on the
ground that the contract sought TO be
enioined under the federal antitrust
act n, that case was a contract of assO-
ciation for the manufacture Of sugar
and did not involve, as the contract in
this case did, the restraint of sales of
merchandise to be delivered across the
state lines.
The Judgment of the circuit court of
appeals reversed the decree of the cir
emit court and instructed that court to
enter a decree enjoining the SIX com
NAMES from continuing to do business
i1nf1er contract of association, or from in
any way maintaining the same.

AJAPANESE COLONY.
One to Be Established Near the
Southern Boundary Of Mexico.

SanFrancisco, Cal, Feb. 15.-Among
the passengers who arrived on the
steamer Gaelic were NJ. Kobayashi and
H. Kawamura, of Toxic, who are on
their way to Mexico to further the in
terests of a colossal Japanese colonial
ton project. The first named gentle
man, when seen, said that preparations
are being made for the establishment
of a Japanese colony on big tract of
land adjacent to the port of San BENZ
to and contiguous to the Guatemalan
boundary.
In accordance with a treaty between
the Japanese and Mexican govern
ments, ratified last year. Count Emo
mOtO, ex-minister of agriculture, and a
wealthy japanese land owner, pur-
chased 100, 900 acres of land in Mexico
in the locality described, and it is on
this that the Japanese colony is to be
established. The enterprise is receiving
the support of the Japanese govern
ment. It is the purpose of the two visi-
tors to have the land surveyed and laid
out for the cOlonists, and this will be
done as quickly as possible. The entire
acreage, they declare, will be devoted to
the cultivation of coffee. 1t is also
planned to estab blish a line of steamers
between this city and Acapulco to con-
meet with the e-Trans-Pacific

piece, Human Hearts,, will be given
at the Crawford theater tonight.
'"The Mysterious Mr.. .Bugle,' the piece
in which Mr.. Joseph Holland and his
able company will be seen at the Craw-
ford theater next Saturday evening, is
farce of the French type in argument
and treatment, but free from the sug-
gestiveness and indehcacy characters
tic of the Partisan school, In this re-
spect it has been compared to Gilbert's s
we'll known comedy, Engaged" In
commenting on the piece, the Boston
Herald of January 25 last, has the fol-
lowing to say of Mr.. Holland and his
leading lady: Boston knows so well
what Mr.. Holland can do in the leading
role of such a piece that it is hardly
necessary to say much about his meth
cd of making points. He has no super
iOr in farcical comedy. His touch is
light and always sure. His serious
manner of presenting the most ludic-
rOus things, his great fertility of re-
source and skill in the invention of bits
of business and suggestive by-playS are
a source of much merriment. Miss
Gretchen Lyons as Betty won her way
steadily and surely with last nights
