ROTH AT POLICE STATION.
Safety Board Boss Talks to the Off,
cers-Cfty Affairs.

Councilman Daller. a member of the
committee on investigation and impeach-
ment of the City Council. received a letter
yesterday from G. r. Stapp, one of the
dismissed fremen. asking that the recent
action OF the Board of Public Safety be
investigated. He SAID he was willing to
tell all he knows. 1t may be that this in
vestigation will begin next week. The Re-
publican councilmen will hold caucus this
week to talk over the matter and it is
very probable that they will decide TO
secure a stenographer other than the one
Mayor Taggart offers TO furnish. They
do not hope to get an ordinance through
the Council but an effort may be made TO
get money appropriated for the purpose OF
carrying on the investigation.
President Roth. of the Board of Safety,
was at the police station for some time
last night I'm consultation with Superin-
tendent Quigley and Captain Kinney, of
the detective force. 1t is expected that
something will be made public in day
or two on the proposed reinstatement of
ex-Sergeant Crane to the police depart
ment.

For Many Months She Has Been In
carcerated Awaiting Trial for
Manning DIR. HasIinson.
DELAY IN THE G0ODIN TRIAL
is RESPONSIBLE FOR MRS. KLINE
SECURING HER FREEDOM.
Action VIII he Taken by Prosecuting
Attorney Pugh in the Criminal
Court To-Day.

After days and nights of weary waiting
and watching for something favorable to
turn up in her case, Mrs. Lulu Kline is at
last to be released from jail. Within the
next few hours she will probably be
breathing the air of freedom again. Mrs.
Kline is the woman who threw a jar of
acid on DR.. Aimee Haskinson, the young
woman physician who formerly lived at
New York and Pennsylvania streets.
The night of the assault Mrs. Kline was
arrested in her room in the Empire block
on Massachusetts, avenue. few hours
afterward she made a confession in which
she charged that Mrs. Maud Goodin, Gus
todian of the Empire block, had conceived
the plot to injure DR.. Haskinson and had
induced her to commit the act. She said
that Mrs. GoodIn was jealous of the al
legged attentions of James Van Malta to
Miss Haskinson. Mrs. Goodin was also ar
rested but denied the Kline story.
AS the publis knows, Mrs. Goodin has
been twice tried and the jury has disagreed
each time. Mrs. Kline has been in jail
nearly two years, being detained as the
prosecuting witness against Mrs. Goodin
The States attorneys have always felt
that it would be best to dispose of the case
against Mrs. Goodin before taking up Mrs
Klines case. Petitions are pending in
the Criminal Court asking for her release
on the ground that the State has had
plenty of time In which to dispose of hel
case but has failed to do So But it is not
on these petitions that the prisoner is
to be released.
Prosecuting Attorney Pugh said last
night that Mrs. Kline would be turned Out
because OF the uncertainty as to wher
the Goodin case can be tried. Mr.
Pugh said the State had made every eff
fort to bring Mrs. Goodin to trial agair
but because OF her physical condition these
efforts have been without avail. Mr.. Pugf
said that Mrs. Kline would be released
on bond-perhaps on her own persona
bond, which really means a release on hel
own recognizance. The States attorney:
feel reasonably sure that the woman viii
be on hand when she is wanted Actor
looking to the release of the prisoner viii
probably be taken In the Criminal Court
to-day.
1t is said that Mrs. Kline has been G
patient prisoner at the Jail and she has
given the Jail officials little trouble. Only
within the last few weeks has she ex
pressed any Impotence over her confine
ment.

more miners here at this convention than
have attended any convention for some

AN INFRINGEMENT CASE
JUDGE BAKERS DECISION IN A SUIT
INVOLVING A TRADE MARK.
y Settlement of the Case of the
Church & Dwight Company Against
G. e. Russ and r. 8. Prentice.

The decision of Judge Baker in the case
Of the Church & Dwight Company against
Charles z. Russ and Frederick s. Prem
tice was made yesterday, and in the de-
cision are several points OF interest to
nsers of trade marks. The decision is also
Of moment to manufacturers of limitations
OF various lines of merchandise.
The plaintiff contends that the defend
ants are unlawfully using a trade mark
registered by them for baking soda or
saleratus upon a package of baking pow
der. The compliments ask for damages
and Judge Baker finds they are entitled
to damages in the sum of 5000.
The defendants admitted that they were
using the trade mark of the plaintiffs. but
claimed their product was baking powder.
while that Of the plaintiffs was saleratus,
or baking soda. the two products not be-
ing in the same class.
In speaking OF the points of the case.
Judge Baker said: 1.-The complainant hav-
ing acquired the exclusive right to the
use OF the trade mark upon baking soda
or saleratus, the remaining question is this:
Does the baking powder of the respondents
belong TO the same class of goods as the
baking soda and saleratus of the COM
plainant? The respondents admit that their
baking powder consists of Is per cent soda
mixed with 10 per cent. corn meal, starch
and tartaric acid.
consequently. every time the respond
ents sell a package of their baking powder
having the complainant's trade mark on
Il. they are actually selling a package, a
material part OF which consists of soda
Soda and baking powder are used for the
purpose OF leayening or tightening dough
in the manufacture Of bread and cakes,
a. we'll as in other domestic purposes.
They are generally handled by the same
class OF dealers and are purchased by the
carce class of customers. Either is indif-
ferently used as may be most convenient
to accomplish the same object. To the extent
that baking powder is used TO that ex-
tent II will necessarily displace the use of
soda for baking purposes. They belong &c
the same class OF goods coming in direct
competition with each other I'm sale and
use for the same purposes.
THE public would readily suppose that
the baking powder bearing its complain
ants trade mark was either manufactured
by IL or by someone having its authority
and consent, and that il vouched for It's
superiority. Goods are I'm the same class
whenever the use OF a given trade MARI
would enable an INSCRIPTIONS dealer e
palm or on unsuspecting purchasers OF
goods an infringement as goods made By
the owner OF trade mark. The fact thai
the complainant is not using his trade
mark packages of baking powder Is nc
ground for defense. He has the right 10
manufacture or sell baking powder and tc
use his trade mark I'm connection with such
manufacture. The right TO use his owr
trade mark upon baking powder sold anC
manufactured by him would be vaIueIes.
II all others were al liberty 10 use IN.
sans trade mark on baking powders SOLD
by them.

MIR. POsEY A MINE OPERATOR.


One of the strange sights at the Denison
yesterday was Frank b. Posey with a
badge on his coat indicating that he was
a mine operator from Kentucky. In ex-
planning 1t, Mr.. Posey said he represented
the entire Kentucky delegation in that he
owned a mine in Crittenden county, Ken
lucky, and was the only operator from
that State at the convention. IL never had
strike in any of my Mines" said he,
"even when 1 owned one in this State.
Many times other operators have cut
prices so that / could not afford to pay
the wages demanded by my men. but when
I showed them the situation and explained
that / could not compete with nonunion
mines and that / would have to shut up
the mines they always volunteered to ac-
cept a cut with the understanding that
wages would be restored when prices went
up. always kept my word with them and
never had any trouble whatever. 1 do not
think the miners will secure anything like
the general increase they expect. 1t has
been suggested that II cents viii be the
compromise increase, but / do not agree
with that. because in such States as ILL.,
nois il will not be practicable for operators
TO pay any increase, when the miners have
not succeeded in unioniZing all the mines
in the State and when it is possible for the
nonunion mines TO turn out coal so much
cheaper than the union operators. If
all the operators were parties TO the scale
1t would be reasonable to ask for an in
crease, for the consumer would have TO
pay the difference. but as long as the min
ers have not been able 10 make all the
operators pay even the old scale of prices
IL is unfair to ask the operators to give
still more money and still try TO compete
with the nonunion operators"
Mr.. Posey said - at so far he was con-
cerned he would agree to substantial in
crease, as in his locality the operators had
the benefit of a uniform freight rate to
all points, whereas the Indiana operators
south of the 3. & o. S-W. railroad have
to pay 30 cents ton more for the haul &c
Chicago than those north of the line and
were equally shut off from the Southern
markets by an almost prohibitive tariff in
the way OF an Ohio river bridge differen-
tial.

STUDYING AUTHORITIES.
Judge McMaster 10 Considering the
Gas Case.

Judge McMaster, of the Superior Court,
is spending a good deal of time these days
looking up the authorities cited in the
mandatory proceedings brought by the city
against the Indianapolis Gas Company to
compel the company to lay an additional
line Of pipe to the gas fields. The case was
argued several weeks ago on demurrer and
a vast number of authorities were cited.
Judge McMaster estimates that nearly a
hundred different authorities were sub
mitted to him by counsel in the case.
He expects to give decision in the case
within the next few days.

SHELBY COUNTY Discomfort.


j. ]. Wingate, of Shelbyville, while at
the Denison yesterday, said: 1.-THE only
unhappy people in Shelby county are the
Democrats" He said the best of the Dem
ocrats were up in arms against the Demo
cratic machine which has ruled the county
SO long and that there was little doubt
that the Republicans would carry the
county this year. He said arrangements
had been made by which suits were TO be
filed by well-known citizens of the county
against George Ray and others to compel
return of large sums of money that
were paid to them in excess of what they
really were entitled to. In Mr.. Rays case
IL is said the attempt will be made to re-
cover about $4,000, while the ether suits
will be for smaller amounts. Mr.. Wingate
also said that two of the present County
Commissioners will be impeached in the
near future as soon as the experts en-
ployed by the County Council have COM
pleted their work on the books OF the
county.
