FAVORABLE REPORT
Upon Hoar Anti-lnjunction Bill
Presented by Judiciary
Committee.

Washington, April 10.-Representa-
tive Ray, of New York, chairman of
the house committee on judiciary, sub
mitted to the house, Wednesday after
noon, a favorable report on the So
called Hoar-Grosvenor "anti-injunc-
ton bill" drawn in the interests of Or
ganized labor.
This bill was SO amended in the
senate as to call forth the opposition
Of organized labor, but as reported by
Ray it has labor's support.
Ray says: THE workingmen of the
United States who demand this legis-
lation are as loyal and well-disposed
and law-abiding as any class of our
citizens. They do not desire to have
crime or mob law legalized. If the
law is enacted, and when in operation
and construed by the courts, is found
to encourage or protect lawlessless or
crime, it can be easily repealed or
amended"

TIME IS NOT RIPE
SAYS GENERAL DICK
To Discuss the Gubernatortsi
Situation In Ohio"--Con-
gressmen Come First.

Akron, April 10.-General Charles
Dick has been in Akron for several days
leaving for Washington, Tuesday. Gen.
eral Dick was seen at his home by a
reporter yesterday. He was affable
as always, and communicative, as
usual.
People are very anxious to know
whether you will be a candidate for
governor of Ohio"
"The time is not ripe for a dis
cussion of that question. There is an
election this year, which should and
will occupy the attention of voters, and
politicians. To return congressman to
represent this great district satisfac-
torily is the task that will come before
the election OF a governor. When the
time comes to nominate a governor,
the issue will select the man. The
states needs, in that direction now
cannot be used in estimating what the
needs may be in year from now, and
the complexion of affairs may change a
great deal in that time"

VIGOROUS PROTEST
Made BY Cullom Against the
Chinese Exclusion Bill
Oiher Views.

Washington, April "a vigorous
protest was made in the senate yester-
day by Mr.. Cullom, of Illinois, against
the passage of the Chinese exclusion
bill in its present form. Coming from
the chairman of the committee on for
eign relations the protest made a deep
impression on the senate.
Mr.. Cullom, while expressing himself
as in favor of the exclusion of Chin
ese laborers, said that many Of the pro-
visions Of the pending measure were in
contravention Of our treaty obligations
with China. He urged that the United
States could not afford to ignore its
solemn treaties, although he conceded
the authority Of congress to enact the
proposed law If it saw fit to do so.
Mr.. Patterson, of Colorado, and Mr..
Perkins, of California, supported the
pending bill, maintaining that in no
way did it contravene existing treaties,
as by the convention OF 1894 China had
agreed that Chinese laborers should be
excluded from this country. The bill
was drastic in its provisions, they ad-
mitted, but no more so than was ne
cessary to eliminate the possibility of
fraud.

WOULDN'T TELL
Who Put Skunk In the School
Room--Grand jury
Baffled.

Upper sandusky, O., April 9.-The
grand jury for the April term of court
made its report last night finding no

IN the Wyandotte county courts.
The grand jury considered Skunk

school being witnesses. Several
months ago skunk was placed In the
high school, creating such bad odor
school was dismissed. The matter was
brought to the attention Of the grand
jury and the matter hastened as much
rs possible, but the boys made such
good witnesses that no indictment was
found. ~ ~

AKRON REPUDIATES
Claims for Property Destroyed
During Riot--Now UP to
tho County.

Akron, o., April 10.-The city coun-
Gil has refused to pay the claims of
those whose property was destroyed in
the riot of August, 1900. A compro-
mise had been arranged by which the
sufferers were to accept s7,500-equal
to about 25 per cent of the losses.
The council, however, will insist that
the county and not the city, must pay
the bill, as Lewis Peck, the negro the
mob desired to lynch, was in the GUS
tody of the sheriff when the riot oc-
CURED. The courts will probably de-
termine the matter.
