FISH-SELLING RIGHTS
A. Booth & Co. Enhances Its Mo.
nOpOly by an Injunction.

New York, Jan. 24.-Justice Scott, in
the supreme court, has granted to A.
Booth Co., of Chicago, corporation
known throughout this country and Can
ada as the fish combination, permanent
injunction restraining the Seibold-Stocker
company of this city, corporation re-
Gently organized, from selling fish within
the territory controlled by them. That
territory, it is alleged in the papers filed
with the application for the Injunction,
covered nearly all the United States and
a large portion Of Canada. A.. Booth &
Co. was organized in 1898. Those who ac-
quired stock in new company entered in
to an agreement not to engage in the fish
trade within the territory controlled by
the consolidation for ten years. The
Seibold- Stocker company, according to the
papers in the case, was organized by per-
sons interested in A. Booth & Co., who had
entered into this agreement. In grant
ing the Injunction Justice Scott says:
That the agreement sought to pc enforced
is not void as being general restraint of
trade is, in my opinion, quite clear. 1t was
extremely limited both as to its territorial
scope and as to the length Of time during
which it is to be operative. The business
concerning which the contract is made Is that
of dealing in and selling fish, commodity
which is practically limitless and to be had
for the catching.

OF SPEAKER
HE'S AGAINST TARIFF REVISION
Believes 1t Dangerous to Open the
Issue at This Time-Letter
to Constituents.

Waterloo, Iowa, Jan. 24-In letter re-
ceiyed here to-day Speaker Henderson
puts himself on record as against any re-
vision of the tariff by the present con-
gress. The letter is response to Pc
tition signed by seventy republican bust
ness men of Waterloo and Cedar Falls.
Speaker Henderson admits that some
changes might wisely be made in the pres
ent tariff, but sees so much danger in
opening up the subject for revision that
he would leave it as it is. He says:
My judgment is that it is more important
at this time in the interest of this country to
reduce taxation upon ourselves and stop to a
proper degree the influx Of the peoples money
into the public treasury.
With the country in an unparalleled pros
porous condition. 1 cannot believe it wise to
begin a reduction which inevitably will open
the whole field of revision and thus put a
serious check upon the business Of the coun-
try.

at the Metropolitan Theater at 2:3O
o'clock on Tuesday afternoon, Jan. 28th.
"Woman's Beauty" will be her subject
and theme. Nine, Yale will demonstrate
by her own phenomenal beauty and
maryellously preserved youth the rare
possibilities afforded by her system and
discoveries for making women naturally
the essential qualities for woman to pos
fulfill her mission to humanity and enjoy
desires. Happiness, the goal we are all
in search Of mime. Yale claims), is i'm
possible to women without these COM
mendable qualities. Unhappy wives and
disconnected girls feel the lack of beauty
and yearn for it's power to aid them.
Beauty Is woman's most powerful
weapon. Madame Yale is the greatest liv-
ing authority on all matters pertaining to
woman. She alone has solved the beauty
problem. Nine. Yale's system is based
on the highest moral standard principles,
and is the nearest approach to woman's
emancipation offered. All womankind
should learn from Nine. Yale how to
evolve into physical perfection. She will
give explicit instructions on the science
of acquiring health and the art Of en-
HANGING natural beauty. The Metro

illuminated to grace the occasion. The
regular theater orchestra will render Sc
