 Courts,
 In the United States court yesterday Judge Townsend handed down decis- ion in the suit brought by Leaver Broth CTS, Limited of Boston, against Vel come A. Smith, of Norwich. The case was before the court on final hearing on a bill and answer raising the ques- ton of infringement of the word Well come as applied to soap. In 1897 Leever Brothers succeeded the firm Of Curtiss, Davis X Co, manufacturers of soap. The latter firm had applied the name Welcome" on q certa n brand of soap. In 1881 they registered the word as a trademark and expended from $4O,0O0 to S500OO year continu- ously for twenty-five years in advertis- ing it.
 Smith, the defendant. has been re- s ONSl lul lhli ty lNp SSoiN7 iiA A''' wich. He handles laundry soap, and for some time it has been his custom to have soap manufacturers make him up special soaps branded with his name on one side. The name Welcome was printed in larger type than the sur name and was on a line by itself, di- rectly above the A smith,
 Judge Townsend says that the defen- dant has shown that the use of his Christian name may be necessary The surname smith," he adds, 'd3es not identify an individual in d New England town-the Christian name Welcome is his (Smith's) family name and he may use it in his business, pro v!ded he uses it honestly, but the soap sold as his is not manufactured by him, but for him; he has no control over the labels and stamps which may be i'm posed upon him by interruptions manu- lecturers who are rivals in business of the complainant It is not clear that. without the restraining arm of the court, he may not be again misled to his own and complainant's prejudice.
 An order for an injunction restraining the defendant from using the word Welcome" segregated from the sur name so as to make it appear that the soap is Welcome soap is given No costs are allowed against the defend- ant

WILKESBARRE. Pa. Oct. 1S--What
is probably the last full week OF the
anthracite coal strike closed today
without anything developing to change
the peaceful trend of events.
All the locals have selected repre-
sentatives to the Wilkesbarre gather
ing. There seems TO be little doubt
but that the convention will accept the
offer OF arbitration.
There viii be opposition in the con-
vention. but 1t is expected to disap-
pear after Mitchell explains the propo-
sltIon to the delegates.
President Mitchell was asked tonight
what he knew of the report that j. p.
Morgan was forced TO intervene in the
coal strike and in his reply he said:
10 my personal knowledge, Morgan
has been trying o settle the coal strike
ever since he came back from Europe
two months ago. II the others had
been as fair and reasonable as Mr..
Morgan was. the strike would have
been settled long time ago. Mr..
Morgan and Cassatt, OF the Pennsyl-
vania railroad were working for a set
tlement when President Roosevelt
made his Last and successful move.
Mr.. Morgan could not very well be
forced to do something which he had
been trying to accomplish for several
weeks. / make this statement in JUS
