Justice Bradley Renders
Decision in the Knights
of Labor Cases.
END OF A LONG CONTROVERSY
Position Taken in Holding Birmingham
Session, in Expelling ]. W. Parsons
and Others and for Incorporating Order
Under United States Laws Justified.

Justice Bradley announced his decision
yesterday in what are known in the local
courts as the knights of Labor cases. and
he upheld the contentious Of the Hayes
faction of the order as against .he Par
sons faction.
The difference between the two factions
OF the knights of Labor is of long stand
ing However, there was no real out
break between them until in May, 1900.
courts for settlement.
For several years one faction of the
order has been opposed to the retention
in Office of John w. Hayes as secretary
treasurer of the order. 1t was this con-
tention that finally led to the litigation
that has been in progress for. the past
two years.
At the time the legal proceedings were
begun John ". Parsons was the general
master workman of the order of the
Knights of Labor. He was sustained in
the fight against Hayes by majority OF
the executive board, and at meeting the
board removed Hayes as secretary-.reas
Hayes. however, was backed by i. d.
Chamberlain, the worthy foreman. the Sec
ond office of the order. AS a result both
the Parsons and Hayes factions called
special assemblies of the order to meet in
this city. The delegates split and two
assemblies were held. Three or four
months later the annual assembly was
held in Birmingham, Ala, and this sus-
tanned the action taken by the Hayes fac
tion.
At the special meeting held in this
city each faction passed resolutions ex-
pclling the leaders of the other. After
this each faction had recourse to the
courts and asked that the persons holding
themselves out as general officers Of the
order of the Knights of Labor be re-
strained from doing so and from inter-
fering with the others.
Granted an Injunction.
In his decision Justice Bradley stated
that the meeting Of the executive board.
at which it was ordered that John W.
Hayes be removed as secretary-treasurer.
was illegal. He also granted the iniunc-
tion asked for to prevent John N. Par
sons and others from holding themselves
out as general officers of the order of the
Knights Of Labor and from in any way tn
terfering with the other faction.

POSTMASTER GENERAL TO
APPEAL FROM DECISION
Prepared to Garry Case to
Supreme Court.
Question in Dispute Regarding Restric-
tion of Second Glass Mail Privileges
of Great Importance.

The Postmaster General will appeal
from the decision of Justice Bradley. In
the Supreme Court of the District OF Co.
iumbia yesterday, which contihded the in
junction restraining the Postmaster Gem
era. from denying 10 the publication
known as the "OficiaI Guide and Railway
List" the provisions of second-class rail-
way matter.
The effect of the decision Is to hold
that the Postmaster General exceeded
his authority In issuing an order denying
certain rights to so-called premium pub
licatioIs; that his order went beyond the
law and was in effect an amendment to
the law, which be was without authority
to make.
Justice Bradley's decision was a great
surprise to the officials of the Postofiice
Department.: as the order issued last fall
was prepared with great care. and 1t
was believed would be able to withstand
all legal attacks. The proceeding in
volving the official guide was regarded as
q test case and the department officials
were concerned over the outcome
The case will now be brought by the
Government before the Court of Appeals.
and if the decision OF Justice Bradley is
there affirmed the case will be appealed
to the Supreme Court of the United
States The question in dispute is OF
great Importance. and involves a loss or
several millions of dollars Of postal rev.
enue annually.

DYNAMITE FISHING.
Canada Powerless to Prevent 1t Unless
Uncle Sam Will Help.

EASTPoRT Me. May 7.-Notwithstand-
ing the positive orders issued by the
Canadian government to the commanders
OF its armed cruisers to stop the prac-
tice Of fishing with dynamite in British
waters in this section, it is now learned
that the efforts will be futile unless the
cooperation Of the United States Govern
ment can be obtained.
II appears that one of the principal
bars TO a strict enforcement of these
orders is the absence Of clause in the
recently adopted order In council prohibit
ing Canadian fishermen from having in
their possession FISH which have been
killed through the use OF explosives.
Americans procure their dynamite on
this side of the line, and now it is
claimed that Canadians will get around
their own law by securing their supply
here also. II is further claimed that
most of the fishing of this class has been
done outside of the prescribed waters and
that the only way to effectually prevent
ii is by the American and Canadian Gov
ernments cooperating.

BISHOP KELLEY ON ROOSEVELT.

BISHOP KELLEY ON ROOSEVELT.
In a Confederate Memorial Day ad
dress made in Guards Hal, Savannah
by Right Rev. Benjamin ]. Kelley,
Bishop of the Catholic diocese of
Savannah, the speaker who was
Confederate soldier, criticised Presi-
dent Roosevelt severely. His speech
is reported as follows:
at is true that the gentleman who
now happens to sit in the Presidential
chair at Washington has written of
President Davis:
Before Jeff Davis took his place
among arch traitors, etc, it was
natural that to dishonesty he should
add treachery to the public. The
moral difference between Benedict
Arnold on the one hand and Aaron
Burr and Jeff Davis on the other is
the difference between a politician
who sells his vote for money and one
who supports a bad measure to get
a high political position.
"When Mr.. Davis was a prisoner
fellow named Miles placed shackles
on him in prison, although there was
no necessity for it, and no one but a
brute would have done it. But l
have never heard that Miles, after
Mr.. Davis death, brutally maligned
his character. That species of en-
venomed malice was reserved for the
recreant son of a Southern woman,
the Rough Rider of Republican poll
tics, the lightning-change artist of
the White House, who can hobnob
with the Kaiser's brother and sit
cheek by jowl with an Alabama
negro; who can indulge in meaning
less platitudes while South, on the
bravery and common heritage of
Southern heroes and denounce them
before the Grand Army as anarchists;
who can profess broad American
spirit which brands sectionalism as a
crime and laud the loyalty of our
veterans of 1876 to the Consti-
tuition and reunited country, while
the damning evidence of his own
written words shows that he COM
pared the noblest Roman Of them
all-Jeff Davis-to Benedict Arnold.
Jefferson Davis was a statesman,
a soldier and man ofhigh character,
a Senator, a Cabinet officer, Presi-
dent, not put in office by a bullet, but
by ballot. Theodore Roosevelt title
to immortal fame will rest on shoot
ing beasts and profiting by the muir
derous act of a reprobate who shot a
man."

THE POSTcHECK-

The bill to authorize the Govern
ment to issue the "Post check, which
we have heretofore alluded to in a
recent article, is making its way slow
ly through Congress. tits proposed
to issue this check in denominations
of five dollars and under, down to
the denominations of fractional cur
rency. The bill provides for the re-
tirement of the FIVE, two and one dol
lar bills now issued by the govern
ment and substitute the Post check
making the latter regular paper
money for these denominations.
This species of money derives its name
from Mr.. c. w. Post, ofBattle Creek,
Michigan, who has devised the
scheme. He was assisted in it's per-
fiction by a number ofpublshers and
the plan has been endorsed by the
American Newspaper Publishers AS
ISOLATION.
The general appearance of thepost
check is that of the present one and
two dollar bills. On one side are
black lines upon which the holder
may write the name and address of
any one to whom he desires to make
payment by mail. The payee upon
receipt of the money attaches his
signature and collects the money at
the office named. Toforge the sigma
turc of the payee is a penitentiary Of
tense the same as counterfeiting. AS
rapidly as the signed bills come into
the possession of postmasters they
are sent into the government for re-
demption and reissue. By this pro-
cess one can carry about his person,
paper money in various denomina-
tions under five dollars and it passes
as good as gold. Has he the desire
to make a remittance by mail, he
simply takes out the bill or fractional
currency, writes the name of his
creditor, affixes and cancels the stamp
and it only requires the signature of
the latter to again make the money
us good as gold at the Office named.
The adoption of the Post check
would undoubtedly facilitate the
sending of money in small amounts
by mail and bring the possibility of
loss down to a minimum.
