Ohio's Dow Law Upheld.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE United
States Supreme Court to-day reafirmed
the decision of the Circuit Court Of the
United States for the Southern district of
Ohio in the case of the Reyman Brewing
Company VS.. Harry Brister, treasurer of
Jefferson county. The case involved the
constitutionality of the Dow Ohio State
law, providing for the taxation of the liquor
traffic. The Reyman company is a West
Virginia corporation, and 1T alleged that IN
the seizure of it's property to pay the
tax there was discrimination because it is
not an Ohio institution, and that, therefore,
the statute is void. The court held that,
while there is a proviso ~exempting sales
in quantities of more than one gallon at
the place of manufacture, the exemption
Is not confined to Ohio corporations or part
nerships. The exemptions. Justice Shiras,
who delivered the opinion of the court,
said, came within the exercise of the po-
lice power of the State. and was intended
to lessen the evils attaching to saloons
Il was not, therefore, a violation Of the
Constitution of the United States.

BIG A DESTROYED
BROWN HOSTING AND CONVEYING
MACHINE WORKS BURNED.
Had Many Government Contracts
PEELED to jump from Windows.

CLEVELAND, Dec. 17.-Fire early to-day,
almost destroyed the big plant Of the
Brown Hosting and Conveying Machine
Company. Five out OF seven buildings
used by the company are in ashes, and
property estimated to be worth over $780,
900 was burned. Eleven hundred workmen
are thrown out of employment as a result
of the fire. The company is considered TO
be one of the largest concerns of the kind
in the world; has many contracts with the
government for hosting apparatus to be
erected at coaling stations that are being
established in various parts of the world.
The flames started in the varnish room
of the Elwell-Parker Electric Company,
which occupied a part of one or the Brown
company's buildings. The loss to the Ell
we'll Parker Company is about 100000, COW
cred by insurance. a great number of en-
ployes were compelled TO jump from win
dows in order TO escape with their lives,
as a result of the rapid spread of the
flames. No one, however, as far as known,
was seriously injured. The loss to the
Brown Company is largely covered by in
surance. The plant will be rebuilt at once.

the United States. In one decision, as
late as last March, MIR. Perkins said that
Justice Harlan and held that the seventh
amendment TO the Constitution, securing
the right OF trial by jury, applies TO judicial
proceedings in the territories. The other
chief points advanced in behalf of the APP
pellant were:
The treaty of Paris is not open 10 the
construction that Ii provides for the gov
erning of Porto Rico without regard to
constitutional limitations. and as a coun-
try foreign 10 the United States. If IT
upon the treaty the provisions would be
void, as contrary 10 the Constitution, but
this would not in any way prevent or
affect the accomplishment OF the usual re-
suits of annexation. If the tariff act i'm
poses a duty or tax upon goods brought
the United States after the annexation,
the imposition is void as being in conflict
with an express provision OF the Const1tu-
ton. When the treaty OF Paris took et-
feet, Porto Rico ceased to be a foreign
country within the meaning of those words
as used in the tariff act
Mr.. Perkins's argument was in progress
when, at 4:30 D.. m, the court adjourned
until tomorrow, when Mr.. Perkins will
continue and the other counsel will be
heard. The five hours on each side which
the court has allowed will extend the hear
ing through tomorrow and part OF next
day If all the time is occupied.
The chief justice announced that the
court will take a recess from next Monday
until Monday, Jan. Z. The court also an
nounced a change in its rules so as to
require that in all processes of the court
and other United States courts the Chris
tan names as we'll as the surnames of per-
sons shall be used. This order is intended
to prevent the use of initials, which often
causes confusion.

marks by franklin Mac veagh, the presid-
ing officer, Henry w. Hoyt, president of
the National Founders Association, was
introduced. The next speaker was Samuel
GomperS president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. Mr.. Gompers received a
warm welcome. He took issue with Mr..
McKenna, one of the speaker during the
day. saying that from the statement of the
officials it would appear that all the over
lures toward Cancellation or arbitration in
such disputes as that between the Sante
Fe and its telegrapherS came from the en-
ployers. Mr.. Gompers asserted that, on
the contrary, where there had been one
offer from the side of associated capital
there have been hundreds on the side of
had become accustomed TO hear their prof
fers of Cancellation met with the answer
that there " is nothing to arbitrate-" He
added, however, that he was not unmind-
full of the fact that there was a growing
disposition on the part of employers
toward a more conciliatory policy. This
condition. Mr.. Compers believed, was due
to the growing Strength of organized labor.
Cancellation between two parties having
diverse interests, he said, is only pursued
when they have either equal power or
nearly equal power.
Though admitting that strikes ought to
oe avoided in the interest of both capital
and labor, Mr.. Gompers declared that
there were some evils more dreadful than
strikes. He added: 1--WE strike. People In
china do not strike. / wonder whether
those who would try TO prevent the strik-
ers from striking or those who would pun
ish the workers for striking would like TO
change the condition from that which OBJ
tains in our country TO that which obtains
in China. If the absence of strikes was the
measure of civilization, then China ought
TO stand at the head of the world"
Laughter and ~applause.l In conclusion he
said: I'VE shall insist upon the right to
quit work whenever the work becomes irk-
some to us, and we shall always insist on
cur right to strike for any reason, or for
no reason at all"
The session adjourned until tomorrow
after an address by Henry White, gem
eral secretary United Garment Workers OF
America.
From the tone of the addresses delivered
to-day. it seemed plainly evident that both
sides are vigorously opposed to compulsory
arbitration and If a recommendation on
the subject of a national board results
from the present gathering the recon-
mendation will in all probability specify
that all the boards work shall be along the
line of voluntary arbitration.

An Exodus. of the Negroes.
to the indianapolis Journal.

Special TO the indianapolis Journal.
ROCKPORT. Ind, Dec. 17.-Following
the lynchiug last night of the negroes
Rowlan and Henderson. for the murder
OF Hollie Simons, an exodus of the race
from the river towns is i'm full force. and
the blacks, in large numbers and amid
great excitement. are leaving Rockport.
GrandviDw and other river towns, and
other localities In Spencer and Warrick
counties. For years the white population
in the river towns has been quarreling with
the negro element. and several times racial
wars have been narrowly averted. Last
July q negro named Benjamin Greathouse
shot and fatally wounded the marshal OF
Grandview. The official had emp to
arrest the negro. A mob formed. and had
IL not been for the vigilance OF the officials
the negro would have been lynched. He
was driven to Rockport, and the mob fol-
lowed. From Rockport the prisoner was
hurriedly taken to Boonville, overland
at that time. and some have never re-
turned Greathouse was tried recently
and acquitted on the ground that the mar
shall beat him without cause, and had no
warrant for his arrest.
There are about one hundred colored
people in Rcckport, and in one end of the
town is a settlement which has given the
officials much trouble. Several times
viligance committees have been organized
and warning notices sent TO the more
desperate residents. telling them they must
obey the law or suffer a severe penalty. a
colored settlement known as Africa is
located near Rockport. and the citizens are
determined that this settlement shall be
broken up, and the negroes driven back
into Kentucky. The marshal at Grand
view was communicated with this MORN
ing by long-distance telephone and he
said there would be a meeting of the citi-
zens there to take steps to rid the town
of all Objectionable colored people. 1t Is
freely said that notices will be posted on
the doors of the shanties. warming the
inmates to leave within a certain time.
IL they do not comply. more drastic
measures viii be resorted TO.
At Enterprise a few years ago a negro
named Whitehead killed his wife, and he
was chased by a mob into Kentucky, but
was never captured. Since that time few
colored people have had the courage TO
remain in Enterprise. AT Troy and some
other points in Perry county. not a single
negro resides. As soon as a colored man
sets his foot in these towns he is warned
to leave. and n standing vigilance commit
tee sees 10 it that no tire is lost by the
negro in getting into some other town or
irto Kentucky.
SGeriff Dan Anderson. of Spencer county
saiu this morning he believed the lynching
would have the effect of stopping lawless-
ness on the part OF the negroes Ia Rock
port. He does not anticipate further
trouble.

under heavy guard to Boonville, where he
thought he could be protected.
At $50 o'clock he was advised by tele-
graph and by telephone that a mob was
gathering at Boonville and there was pros
pect of a clash between the mob and the Of
ficers. He at once entered into communica-
ton with the officers of the Evansville
company, issuing orders for the company
to go to Boonville and protect the negro
prisoner. and while this was being lone
the negro was taken by a mob of about
one hundred men and lynched.
When Governor Mount received informa-
ton of the lynching he countermanded his
previous orders to the Evansville company
Of the state militia, the death of Rolla
putting an end TO the emergency.
Governor Mount was yesterday in close
consultation with the attorney general rel
alive TO the action which should be taken
fo- the punishment of those concerned in
the three %lynchings. He said it is his pres
ent opinion that action should be taken
against the sheriffS from whom the men
were taken by the mob. Prosecution in
such cases woul be made under the law
passed two years ago, which made the
county officers liable for damages in such
cases. He anticipated serious difficulty in
securing convictions, for the reason that
the State is unable, under the present laws,
to venue the cases from one county to an
other, and the prejudice in the district is
such that 4 fair trial could not be had.

NEW YORK, Dec. IA naval board of

an accident to the torpedo boat Porter,
which occurred yesterday afternoon. The
