suit as to the association, but holds that
the members as individuals may be held
liable for damages under the antitrust
law, section II, chapter xci, Of the statutes.
1t appears that the defendants had at
tackled the constitutionality Of his stat
ute on the ground that 1t exempts or
ganized labor from its operations, but the
court holds that labor is not such a CON-
modify as should bring labor organizations
under the inhibition. 1t was also shown
that Anderson had assigned his suit against
the defendant as one of bis assets when he
went into bankruptcy, and the court held
that as ii was such an asset as he could
transmit to heirs 1t could also be law
fully assigned. The judgment of the lower
court is reversed and the case remanded,
as the court holds that all individuals in
volved in the infiction Of the damage are
liable whether members Of the association
or not, 1t is is dismissed as to the asso-
citation.

Reverses Moore's Case.

Among the decisions handed down by the
supreme court late this evening was one
reversing the judgment of the district court
Of Douglas county and declaring that Frank
E. Moores is liable to the county for un-
claimed witness fees and court costs paid
to him while he was clerk of the district
court. The court holds that there is no
authority for taking witness fees except
such as is conferred by statute, and that
the legislature has a right to provide that
when such fees are unclaimed they shall go
to the school fund.
The court also affirmed the decision OF
the lower court finding William Reed guilty
of the robbery of Henry Bigel, an old SOL
der from Wisner, of S275 last December
at Yates saloon on North Thirteenth
street.
The court has reversed the action of the
district court OF Lancaster county in Civ
ing Judgment against the state for 81, 916. SO
for supplies furnished the asylum for the
incurable insane at Hastings. Falk had a
contract for supplying that institution and
presented a bill to the State Board Of Pur-
chase and Supplies for IS, $50. The board
allowed $5,sS3.67 OF it. Falk accepted the
warrant for that amount and appealed from
the decision of the board as to the rest.
The court holds that when he accepted his
warrant for the amount allowed he for
feited his right to appeal.

 Fake Bout in Philadelphia

Philadelphia. Jan. 17.-Tom Sharkey and Peter Maher, who were heralded to fight six rounds before the Industrial Athletic Club for the championship of Ireland, at the Industrial Hall tonight, were stopped by Referee Recap in the middle of the third round In one of the poorest exhi- bitions ever Piven in this city. The men had been arrested early in the evening and bound over in 5000 ball to keep the peace and this apparently reduced the steam to their blows.
 Not d blow was struck which would rocked a bantams head. When the bout had progressed for two and q half rounds. amid Incessant cat calls. misses and calls of take them off' and fake" and Referee Recap stepped to the side of the ring and said that he had been en- gagged to referee a contest. This is no contest" he concluded.
 The men took their corners and the contest was over
 Both Sharkey and the President of the club attempted to address the angry crowd, but neither was permitted to speak. The spectators were worked up to such a pitch that they broke chairs and benches in their desire to "get even" It was little satisfaction for the 4.OO0 persons who had paid $2. g and S for seats.

POLICY OF DEMOCRATS
Members of the House Hold a Caucus No Announcement Made of
 the Results

Washington, Jan. 1.-The special com mittee of Democratic representatives ap- pointed at the last caucus to consider numerous resolutions defining party policy held an extended session today with view of framing a report for pre- sentation to another caucus. Represen- tative Henry of Texas proposed a resolu- tion declaring that 1t was beyond the province of Democratic caucus to de- fine policies in contravention of a national platform and that the policy defined by a nation was binding until the next con vention was held.
 The meeting lasted about four hours. and at it's close Representative Richard son of Tennessee, the chairman, stated that no final results had been reached. and. pending an agreemnt, no announce ment would be made. It is understood, however, that the sentiment at the meet ing was opposed to strict declaration of policy on pending questions before such questions actually are presented for con sideration in the House. Another meet ing will be held to continue the discussion of today and after that a caucus of all Democratic members will be held.

WAR MINISTERS CRITICISED.
Andre and Gallifet Roasted by the
 French Deputies.

Paris. Jan. 17.--In the Chamber of Dep- uties today, M. Cuneo dornaho inter pellated the Government regarding al- legged violations of the military laws and regulations governing the promotion of officers by General de Gallifet, the former Minister of War. and by General Andre. the present Minister of War.
 The speaker said these ministers had. by decrees, infringed the rights of the officers. that General Andre. by assum- ing the sole right of promo ton, had de- ment. and that the officers had no con- fidence in the impartiality of the minis ter who was subject to political infiu- ences. Officers, the Deputy added. had been punished because of their political opinions. General Andre elicited an out cry from the Rightists and Centrists and cheers from the Leftists by announcing that he was preparing bill providing for the exclusion of pupils of the school of the congregations from scholarships at the military school.
 M. Lasies, anti Semitic, said the sug- gested measure was shameful.
 M Cuneo d'Ornano described the pro- posed bill as odious and declared that General Andre wishes to cut France in twain.
 General Andre replied that he took the system of promotion out of the hands of the former army commission and assum- ed the task himself. because the comnnis- sion was an Irresponsible body. whereas the Minister of War was a responsible parsonage. and the advancement of of fcers was, therefore, in the hands of Parliament.
 The RishtlsfsA and centrists warmly protested against this view.
 The Chamber, by soS to 214 votes, adopt cd resolution approving General Andres declarations

MISS PARDUE'S SELECTION
A Mistake Was Made If the Entire Town of Sheffield is
 Gratified.

Washington, Jan. Especial. 1.-The announcement that Miss Pardue had been given the Sheffield postoffice developed an interesting situation in that city, one end of which came to Washington over the wires in the shape of messages to Congressman Richardson.
 The Congressman was seated at his desk in the House when a message was handed him by one of the pages. 1t read: Don't understand Miss Pardue's ap- pointment as postmaster, as she has never applied for the place. Please have mistake rectified at once"
 1t was signed by a leading citizen. In a few minutes another message came to the Congressman. This one said: '"Appointment of Miss Pardue has grati- fled the entire town"
 The mayor of Sheffield had sent this telegram:
 Il guess mistake has been made if the entire town Is gratifted. remarked Judge Richardson. II shall not interfere at any rate," and he did not.

Berlin.

Nothing New Broght Out by the Cross Examination of Estes G. Rathbone, Ex-Director
 of Posts.

Havana, Jan. I7.--The cross-examina- tion of Estes q: Rathbone. ex-Director of Pests of Cuba, at today's session of growing out of the Cuban pos.ofhce frauds. brought out no rev facts.
 Counsel for w. H. Reeves, ex-Deputy Auditor for Cuba. who is also on trial, endeavored to put the responsihility on of Cuban postmasters to render monthly statements. Rathbone insisted that It was Reeves's duty to psport irregularities of this kind.
 examined by the Fiscal. Nicely said that he deceived his appointment from Wash tnston and that Ratabone had made him Chief of the Finance Bureau of the Gu ban Postoffice Department after the or- ganizatinn of the Cuban postal service. He said that when the stamps were burned a certain amount was reserved tor collectors, but that he did not know how many. and that after the sales to collectors fell of he gave the surcharged stamps to Senor Nova, Cuban stamp clerk in the Havana postofflce. instruct ing him to sell them. He asserted he took the money resulting from these sales and put 1t in the vault. Nicely made no record of these stamps. nor did Moya make out redui sition for them.
 In answer to the Fiscars question as to why he had made ID such record. Nee ly explained that insofar as the new fs- sue of stamps was concerned records were kept In his office of the denomina- tions sold in oHder that he might be in a position to know what denominations to order from Washington to replenish the stock. As for the matter of ba1anc- ing the account, the stamps he turned over to Nova had no bearing thereon.
 Nicely said he was charged with the whole amount of the value of, the stamps and that these he must account for either in stamps or money when call ed upon to do so. For this reason he said 1t made no difference whether these Moya sales were recorded or not. Instead of the stamps he said he had put the money in the vault.
 Nicely denied having any interest ip the Cowan- Printing Company of Muncfe, Ind, and said that he had not received SS.0Qo as commission from the lock box com pany that put in the lock boxes in the Havana postoffice. He explained that his company was the lowest bidder for that work.
 Nicely was confronted with Reeves who reiterated his statement that Nicely gave him $4600 before leaving. to make the books tally. Neely answered that this was not so and said that he was with an employe of the postoffice at the hour named by Reeves in his statement. At the request of Neely,s counsel this em- pIoye will be summoned to testify.
 Neely said he drew his salary for the coming month before he left Havana for the United States The defense will con tend that this action showed that Nicely needed money and under the cirrum- stances would not give Reeves any.

FIGHT BETWEEN GIANTS.
The Goulds and the Hartman Inter-
 ests Engaged in Struggle.

Chicago, Jan. 1.-The Record-Herald tomorrow will say:
 The Gould and the Hartman interests are engaged in a struggle for transcon- tinental traffic, which will test to it's ut- termost the strength of the community of interests.
 The fight which the Goulds have be- gun for recognition as a transconu- mental factor through the Ogden gateway is the explanation of the withdrawal of the Missouri Pacific from the Colorado and Utah Association. Through their pos- session of the Rio Grande roads the GouIds are laying claim to a large per- centage of the through traffic from the coast. Should the Hartman people refuse to turn over to the Gould connections the amount of traffic the Goulds think they are entitled the result will be problem atical.
 Should the Goulds decide to get the amount of traffic they are claiming their position entitled them to, rates would undoubtedly be cut as was done in De- cember, and the bulk of the traffic would go from ogden by the way of Grand Junction and Pueblo where 1t would be delivered to the Missouri for St. Louis and the East.
