costly Of stones, tipped at both ends
with pure virgin gold and headed with
the feathers Of the rarest BIRDS" Such
is the description given Of the 'Polon-
zelo arrow" which in 1884 was pre-

was made in 1904 by an ancestor Of
the Spaniards, and every stone and

to represent human life cut short
through it's instrumentality. The stones
indicated the number of men to whom
it had carried death. while the curl

There is in town in the north Of
England a certain preacher Of Hiber-
nian antecedents who considers himself
to be a speaker Of perfect English, but
who is generally credited with the pos
session Of as rich brogue as can be
found anywhere in Tipperary.
Some mention was made Of his Pc
culiar pronunciation at church meet

Immediately called upon one Of the
members and, after complaining Of the
injustice done him, asked him whether
in his opinion a single trace of the
brogue was to be observed in his

Halter SUES FOR DAMAGES
Henry ~. RoeIofs of philadelphia
Wants Quarter Million for
Alleged Injuries.

PHILADELPHIA. April s.-Henry u.
Roelofs OF this city, who is one Of the
largest hat manufacturers In the United
States, today began suit in the United
States circuit court for S25O,00O damages
against fifteen individuals residing in differ
ent states who are members OF the United
Hatters' association.
Mr.. Roelofs alleges conspiracy on the
part Of the defendants in issuing false and
defamatory circulars, causing a libel to be
printed in their journal and having agents
in a number Of states seeking to boycott
his goods He states that about a year
ago. he discharged two men for want OF
work A number OF his employees who be-
long to the local unions thereupon left his
employ and he alleges that some Of the
defendants in today's suit then tried to
induce him to submit to their organization.
Mr.. Roelofs agreed to Join the union. but
wanted the right reserved 10 himself to
employ whom he pleased without regard to
membership in the union. To this the de-
PENDANTS would not agree and then, Mr..
Roelofs alleges, the conspiracy began which
is charged in the statement hled. On one
occasion, as set forth in The statement,
the defendants prevented the plaintiff from
making the sale of $1,000 worth of goods
to one customer, hence the large amount
named for damages.

could not be extradited under the present

have gone there. Should they be extra
dited on new indictments, he added, they
must be tried on those indictments, and
in his opinion, conviction could not be
secured on them.
Informed that Chief Wilkio disclaimed
any effort to bring the fugitives back. and
that the matter rested with the department
of Justice, Gaynor said: II want Captain
Greene to hear that" and he called Cap

peated the statement
