Court Sustained.

Philadelphia, April 16.-The SUI

In his opinion Justice Brown SAYS:
THE appellee had an unQuestioned
right, in the conduct of his business,
to employ workmen who were inde-
pendent OF any labor union, and he
had the further right to adopt a sys.

with his business is unlawful, and
cannot be permitted. The court
found that the interference was in

injury are incapable OF ascertainmen.

diction is the absence of a plan and

DEMAND OF AMERICA
Officially Confirmed In Berlin, That
We Desire China to Pay Only
100000 900.

Berlin, April 16.-It was officially
confirmed here that the United States
had made proposition to the powers
to fix the total Chinese indemnity at
$500, 100000, coupled with the condi-
ton that the payment be made i'm
mediately. German officials point out
that the amount named would require
o heavy scaling of the different
claims, but that the proposition Is
practicable and open to discussion,
owing to the clause requiring cash
payment
But If 1t is contemplated to divide
the indemnity mechanically, it is
doubtful whether it will be acceptable,
since Russia said her government
claims alone will amount to G17,0OO,.
600, aside from private claims. The
proposition would give Germany only
95,OOOO00, whereas the China expe-
dition has already cost her G12,0OO,,
900. The claims of Great Britain
amount to less htan G5,0O0,OOO. o.
fcials therefore. argue that the
amount should be apportioned ac-
cording to the expenses borne by the
different powers. The representative
OF the Associated Press gets the i'm.
preston that Germany Is ready to
discuss the proposition In concilia.

that China is unable to pay these
claims demanded.

FROM RAILROAD STOCKS
Assemblage of Professional Operators.
Who Have Led Bull Market,
Changed to Other Stocks.

New York April 16.-It was plainly
to be seen Monday that the inhuen-
tial assemblage of professional oper-
ators in stocks who have led the great
bull market of this year throughout
were making an abrupt shift from
the high priced railroad stocks into
teh industrial stocks Of all grades,
down to many that are in the Stock
Exchange category of eats and
dogs" Very buoyant advances were
effected in many Of these, and the un-
failing following of outside specula-
tors which has quickly followed this
leadership for many weeks past con-
tinued its docile response Monday.
Railroad stocks generally show
net losses on the day, although
ing some of them from the lowest.
New York Central had receded to
151B in the last hour and was made
to sell on the next and last sale at
152h, the closing bid dropping back
again to 151A, with 151A asked. BY
far the most conspicuous movement
OF the day, owing to the enormous
volume Of dealings, was in Amalga-

final dealings II was rushed up
through food of offerings to 124&
closing at the top notch. There were
notable upward movements in all the
gas stocks, led by Consolidated Gas
and Brooklyn Union Gas, with an ad-
vance Of 6h and 10 respectively.
Peoples Gas rose at one time nearly
five points. There were gains of Az

gains of ! to points are accounted

notable advance In the railroad list
was in the high priced coalers, Cleve-

time carried az under Saturday. and

not rise above 6 per cent Monday
and eased off during the day. Spec

free from misgivings over the future
OF the money market.

Columbus, April 1G.-The state board
Of medical examination and registra-
ton will meet Thursday AMI act finally
on the case of DIR. Sharp w. Hemphiil,
Of IrOndale, against whom charges have
been filed for revocation of his certiii-
cate. The affidavit against tho doctor
was sworn out by Drs. Rae and oliver
who allege Hemphill's drinking habits
incapacitate him for properly perform
ing his professional duties. The case
was opened BY the state board last Oc-
tOber, but numerous delays have in
terfered with the finding of verdict
before this time. Hemphill has pro-
cured affidav!ts from half hundred
geputable citizens to refute the allega-
tions made against him. An attache
Of the board intimated that the case
would be dismissed.
Responsive to.a request from Secre-
tary c. Fl. Workman. OF the board OF
managers of the Mansfield reformatory
Special Counsel S. w. Bennett, of the Of
flee of the attorney general, formulated
an opinion to the effect that the board
may parole prisoner before the ex-
piration of his minimum sentence.
The impression had prevailed among
some of the members that 1t was man
datOry upon an inmate of the reforma-
tory to serve one year before he could
become eligible for a parole. Under
Special Counsel Benefits ruling the
board may parole prisoner at any
time after his arrival Mr.. Bennett
also ruled that as there Ia no ward for
the insane prisoners at the reformatory,
these shall G returned to tho conut. CT
