HAT TRIMMINGS CASES END.
Long Litigation With Government
Brought to Close.

Philadelphia, April 1.-THE famous
hat trimmings" case which has been
the subject of a bitter legal battle for
seven years between the government
and a number of parties was settled
in the United States district court yes
terday. The settlement is a compro-
mise on the part of both the govern
ment and importers. The importers
brought suit against the government
to recover, as they claimed, an over
charge of duty on imported hat trim
mings. The government claimed that
instead of being used for hat trim
mings the goods were being used for
other purposes and that so per cent.
duty was the proper rate to be
charged. In the early part of 1884
and during the following three years,
more than $500 suits were brought
against the government by New York
and Philadelphia importers to recover
alleged excessive duties eXacted by
the government in hat trimmings.
Some of these cases were won by
importers. while in others verdicts
were rendered in favor of the govern
ment. As final settlement of the suits
appeared to be subject to interminable
delay, both sides agreed upon com
promise.

NEGRO SHOOTS
TWO PERSONS
Row on Pacific Street
Ends in Serious
Manner.

Thomas ]. Gibbs, a negro, shot James
Wilson and George Tyler. the former a
negro and the latter a Portuguese, dur
ing fight in the Surprise saloon, 429 Pa
clf1c street, last night. A bullet struck
Wilson on the left breast, causing SUI
perf1cial wound. Tyler was shot through
the left wrist. The trouble grew indi-
rectly out of the recent strike.
Gibbs and another negro named Wynn
Smith came to the coast from Cincinnati Il
last summer and went to work on the
water front in the places of striking
stevedores. When the strike was over
both were thrown out of employment,
and when Smith needed money Gibbs
loaned him a dollar. Since the loan was
made Gibbs has become poverty-stricken.
and Smith, although debtor, wore an
air of prosperity. Both met last night,
and Gibbs reminded Smith of his obli-
cation.
Funny he said, ''you can wear neck
ties and l have to go around hungry"
Thereupon Smith, instead of producing
the dollar, hurled a large cobblestone at
Gibbs head, knocking the latter to the
floor. The bartender of the saloon, James
Wilson, then took hand and attempted
to eject Gibbs. The last named resisted.
and drawing a revolver fired four shots.
One struck Wilson, another hit Tyler,
who was a spectator and who took no
part in the quarrel, and the others were
imbedded in the wall.
The injured men were treated at the
Harbor Hospital Gibbs tried to escape
after he did the shooting, but was cap
tured after a long chase by Officers AL
Holmes and Bob Skain.

formally announced tomorrow.
Discuss Salary Question.
The question of Mclaughlin salary
was discussed by the members of the
executive committee, but no conclusion
Las been reached. Some of his partisans
are seeking to have the figure fixed at $3.50
a month, and it Is likely that this sum
will be allowed. The expenses of the
Washington committee will probably be
partly met by contributions from the va
rious unions of this city. 1t was reported
yesterday that an appeal to the labor or
ganizations to this effect was In prepara-
ton, but this statement could not be
verified
Now that the convention is a thing of
the past some of the incidents of the
gathering which were kept quiet for po-
litical purposes, as 1t appears, are grad
ually creeping to the surface. Whether
or not the convention was called more in
the interests of certain individuals who
have political aspirations than OF the peo-
pie at large remains to be seen. Why 1t
was necessary to mutilate kilograms to
the convention in order to mislead the
delegates as to certain prevailing condi-
tions is q matter that is puzzling all
who attended the sessions Of the gather
ing. That telegram was mutilated by
Chairman Geary or on his order there Is
documentary evidence. The telegram was
from Congressman ]. c. Needham, and
in its entirety was as follows:
WASHINGTON, Nov. p, 1901-Hon. James
D. Phelan, San Francisco: I have seen the
