ANOTHER FIELD FOR LEGISLATION.

LA VI SOluiiljSSiutpeI ", r.. Weuuer-
strum, In submitting the ninth biennial
report Of his department.. presents many
facts in regard to the Industrial inter-
ests OF Iowa, to only one OF which the
T.-R. calls attention at this time. The
terrible boiler explosion that wrecked a
Detroit factory and killed many work
men. makes the subject OF boiler inspec-
ton q matter Of interest in this state.
The commissioner states that the on
~ precautionthatn now exists In Iowa for
thesprotection Of employees is the occa-
sional insurance OF boilers by proyldent
manufacturers. An effort was made by
him to ascertain the number OF boilers
insured. but many difficulties were
thrown in the way of successful inves-
tigation in this subject. He states, how.
ever. that 1t is his impression that fully
one-haf OF the boilers in our factories
are insured. At least this is true OF the
factories which the bureau inspected.
A considerable number, however, at
least one-fourth II not more, do not take
any particular precaution in the way Of
1nsurance to provide against explosions.
he states that the need for thorough in
spection OF boilers is so obvious that he
regards 1t strange indeed that there has
been no legislation regarding this mat
ter. He adds:
II do not urge you to recommend the
enactment OF a law providing for
state inspector OF boilers. for the reason
that believe adequate protection can
b Afforded in the passage of law. re-
quiring al manufacturers to insure
their boilers against explosion. The
mere fact OF insurance will of itself Sc
cure thoroughgoing inspection by the
representatives of insurlng compa-
Mes
supplementinE the foregoing, he sug-
gests the propriety of requiring thor
ough examination OF engineers in
charge Of all stationary engines There
has been little regard paid to such mat
trs by employers Of labor. for the reason
that 1t 10 generally. assumed it is OF lit
Tie or no Importance. But the state, he
thinlss, should compel = more careful
preparation on the part OF those who
expect to run stationary engines, just
~ our railroad companies do with their
prospective engineers, and which the
state has for some years required of en-
vineers in charge of hosting engines at
our mines. The same elements of dan
ger exist In and about stationary en-
gines that are so apparent in the ease
Of hosting engines.

dry goods and clothing departments.
There has been such heavy demand
for winter clothing that stocks are ma
terially reduced. Retail clothiers and
custom tailors have had an unusually
good season. Footwear is in good de-
mand also for consumptive needs. Holi-
day trade continues good, and an active
season is expected.
At Pittsburg the shortage of cars is
still matter of much Importance to the
iron and steel trade.
Baltimore reports that the general
outlook is exceptionally bright, and
southern collections, which have been
considerably delayed by the lateness of
the cotton crop. are coming in.
At New Orleans all lines of trade re-
port business up to the average and
collections up to expectations. Receipts
CT sugar have been large and there has
been good demand.
At Minneapolis conditions in general
continue exceedingly favorable. A large
amount Of new business is noted, espe-
cially from North and South Dakota.
There is considerable activity in goods
for spring delivery. Jobbers in dry
goods are very busy, and manufacturers
of shoes are working night and day.
There was considerable increase in the
flour output, the amount ground being
S51 $50 barrels.
st. Louis reports one Of the features
of the business Of the past week has
been in the continued jobbing orders for
holiday goods. as well as for the regular
seasonable orders.
At Kansas City, notwithstanding the
unreasonable weather. the general
omount of business among the manu-
facturers and jobbers for November Is
considerably ahead OF the same month
last year, and the prospects for winter
sales are bright.
San Francisco reports the following
for California and the coast: Good ag-
ricultural weather has prevailed thus
far this season. Early sown grain Is up
and looking well. Summer following is
In progress. More rain is needed for
blowing heavy soils. Orchard work is
active, and trees and vines are being
prepared to produce an increased yield.
Further rains vii. result in adding to
grain acreage. Deciduous fruit is get
ting scarce, and prices have further adj
vanced. The grape season is practically
ended. Choice apples have been In good
demand for the east at all coast points.
Sugar was cut 10 cents per 100 pounds
on the 21st, and 20 cents to Utah, Wyo-
ming. Montana and Colorado. The Ha-
waiian crop for last year was $4,000
tons, against $4,000 for the previous
year. Syrup was reduced cents, lin
seed oil cents and Goldfish v cent.
General trade is rather quiet,
even in export circles. The movement is
lighter, the average so far this month
being $4,000 per day. A good holiday
trade is anticipated, and there are indi-
cations that 1t has already commenced.
Bank clearings keep up remarkably
well, and this years total will break all

JUDGES IMPROPER REMARKS.
Some court seem to have fallen into

the evidence and insidiously injecting
tine jury with their own opinions of the
facts in the case. AS general rule,
however, these remarks do not call for
reversal Of these cases unless it Is
clearly shown that appellant has been
injured by them. Thus in a recent case
in Texas, the supreme court of that state
held that comment of the court in a

question is whether defendant assaulted

the subsequent arrest of another suspect
also identified him in the same manner.

could not be apportioned, and W. was in
no way responsible for the arrest.-61

COMMON NUISANCE = ABATE-
MENT.
All places where intoxicating liquors

where persons are permitted to resort

are declared by statute Of Kansas to
be common nuisances. This fact how
ever, does not justify their abatement
by any person or persons without pro-
cess OF law. They can be abated only
by prosecution instituted in behalf Of
the public by the proper officer. The de-
struction or injury to property used in
aid OF the maintenance OF such nui-
sances, except in the manner provided
by statute, is a trespass. It is a general
principle Of law that has always been
upheld by the courts that private per-
sons have no right to take upon them
selves the correction of public wrong.
To hold otherwise would be to encour-
age the first steps towards anarchy

RAILROAD MEN DO NOT
LIKE VACCINATION ORDER

John A Atkins, who was appointed
one of the operators of the Boston &
Albany division of the New York Cen
trail Railroad few weeks ago, in this
city. has been ordered to the West
Springfield yard of the road where he
will be night operator. Mr.. Atkins is
an old hand at the telegraph instru
ment having been ten years at that
business. For six years he was tele
graph operator for the Central Yer
mont Railroad, being stationed at
Waterbury, VT. Mr., Atkins came t.
the Boston & Albany road from the
Boston & Maine.
To be protected from smallpox may
be all right but the men employed on
the Boston & Albany road think there
should be some other way Of prevent
ing it than by vaccination as they
say that when you get cut you do not
know whether you viii be able to work
for week or have to take a vacation,
as has been the case with some of the
men whose arms have swollen up and
gotten so sore that the least move
ment causes pain. The men did not
care TO be vaccinated but orders had
TO be obeyed. As a result. the road
finds itself short handed in the freight
DEPARTMENT and for men to run the
engines.

rolling stock and motive power of the
Boston & Albany road was in Wor-
cester yesterday for a short time.

One may crop out in the inaugural and
may not. 1t concerns the question Of
grants of rights to transportation COM
panles without corresponding conces-
siOns and it has a direct bearing on
the activity of Messrs, Quincy, Mat
thews and Hamlin in the campaigns of
this year, for it is seen that they are
really at work for Castor, who is the
Massachusetts, representative of the
great financier of Gotham, and who
has evidently resigned his chairman
snip of the directorate of the Elevated
Railway so as to be ready to run for
governor next year. Whatever advan-
tage there is in having his best friend
in the governors chair must be gA ssd
by Morgan early, for things will change
in a decade. However, the friends Of
Lieut. Gov. Bates are unterrified. They
neither fear CASTOR in 1902 nor 1908
The other subject cropped out at the
meeting of the Paint and Oil Club on
Wednesday night, when George L.
Gould, the chairman of the legislative
committee, reported on the proposition
to ask legislation controlling the sale
of goods in bulk. This is Greek to the
average man, but it is said tc mean
that the great wholesale and CONNER
cial interests have grown tired of SELL
ing to a retail concern on credit, only
to discover that the firm has become
involved, and has therefore sold out
its entire stock at a sacrifice. the same
soon appearing on the counter of some
lOW-priced store with a great flourish
Of trumpets. They therefore propose
10 ask that such sales only be permit
ted after the creditors have been ap-
pealed to and have consented. The de
partment stores are not likely to take
kindly to this sort Of legislation, but
il is difficult to see why il is not eQuit-
able and just. and one is led to wonder
how the coming legislature can avoid
its duty in the premises, even if some
are found as DIRECTORS.
Monday is the final day for fling the
annual estimates of the expenses Of the
state departments for next year. They
are not likely to show a great increase
over this year, with Gov. Crane still
in the chair.

Railroad Man to Whom He Had
Been Attentive
HAWKINS THEN
ATTEMPTED SUICIDE
Is Now Locked Up With a Charge
OF Murder Against Him-Said
to Have Been Drinking Heavily
Before He Went to Clear Out
an Entire Family

Nashua, n. H, Dec. 14-Mrs. Eva
Brooks, wife of George A. Brooks, a
car checker for the Boston and Maine
railroad, was shot and killed at her
home OF Cottage avenue by Charles
Hawkins. The latter attempted to take
his own life by firing a bullet into his
head, but it missed the brain and the
effort was unsuccessful.
He was shortly after placed under ar
rest
Hawkins, who is a widower, about IS
wears of age. with three children, had
lived at the Brooks house until within a
few days. when he was ordered away by
Mr. Brooks, owing, 1t is said, to certain
attentions to Mrs. Brooks which the
husband did not like.
About $50 o'clock this evening, Hawk
ms, who, the police say, had been
drinking to excess, called at the home
of Mrs. Brooks and demanded admis-
sion.
He was met at the door by a Mrs.
Bridget Halllssey, to whom Hawkins
said: q am going to kill four people.
Get out of the way"
With these words he sprang upstairs
to the apartment where Mrs. Brooks
and two children were. In a few seconds
Mrs. Hallissey heard three shots in

the way to the Brooks house met Hawk
ms running in the direction of the police
station with a revolver in his hand. Up
On seeing the officers. he pointed the
weapon at his own head and fired, but
the shot did not penetrate far enough to
reach the brain.
Hawkins was overpowered and taken
to the station. Mrs. Brooks, who is
about So years old, has two children,
aged 10 and years respectively. One OF
the children stated to the police that
after Hawkins had fired the shots he
stopped over his victim and kissed her
lips Then he rushed from the house.
Just what happened when Hawkins
first entered the room, or whether any
conversation passed between him and
the murdered woman is not known at
the present time.

A government bond is supposed to be
about as good a thing as can be given for
Christmas remembrance. Here is
something. however. quite as good as a
government bond, and it does not cost so
much money. 1t is a unique idea for a
gift, yet most practical, and solves the
problem Of what to give in a most salts
factory manner.
A pair of fine shoes or a dainty pair of
slippers Is gift acceptable to all. Yet it
IS impossible to make this gift ordinarily
without giving away the secret. One
must know the size and other necessary
details. But the Sorosis shoe people have
solved the problem. They are issuing a
certificate which you can send in lieu of
the gift and the happy recipient can go
and pick out her own shoes or slippers.
This certificate is good in any part of the
country where there is a Sorosis store.
So If a person wants to send such a gift
to any one in Chicago or San Francisco,
he can purchase the certificate here at
the Boston Store, slip it into a letter, and
the shoes will be forthcoming at the
other end when it is presented.
It is an ideal method to secure an ideal
gift for the SOrOsis shoe is a favorite
with well dressed women from the At
lantic to the Pacific. Its merits are so
well known they need no telling, and few
gifts would be more acceptable.

Knoxville, Tenn, Dec. 14-It developed
here today that large amount Of the
Montana Bank bills stolen in the Great
Northern express robbery last July have
been circulated hire. Above $500 has so
far been discovered.
An unknown man shot two policemen
Dinwiddie and Saylor, last night. He
