Judge Philips Stops Patroliing In Front o:
stores.
Judge John S. Phillips of the fed
eral court issued a temporary injunc-
ton restraining the officers and mem
bers of the retail clerks national pro-
tective association and the journey
men tailors' union from enforcing
their boycott on a Kansas City cloth
ing firm. The patrolling of the side
walk in front OF the store was stop
ped by order of the court The cause
OF the trouble was the refusal of the
firm TO comply with the demands of
the union to close the store at night
Judge Phillips said the court had
no disposition to oppose the unions,
and he had no doubt the early-closing
movement was good thing He con-
Ceded further, that the unions had a
right to persuade the public by inter
view, by letter or by publication in
the press from patronizing the firm
upon whom they were making war,
so long as they did not come within
the statute pertaining to libel, but
the members of the union had no
right to stand in front of a mans
place of business and accost people
who were about to enter the store
with the view OF deterring them from
buying anything therein.

PERPETUAL MOTION MACHINE.

Inventor.
Kansas City. Mo, Aug 81. S.
Grimes. mechanic, who was born
in Yell County. Arkansas, and can
barely READ and write, exhibited a per-
petual motion machine in the Office of
the Kansas City Journal tonight that
ran for hours with no other power
than that furnished by the machine it
self.
The invention il remarkably simple.
but ii is the result of twelve years
work.
Grimes first took a circular piece
cut from a thick board and trimmed
down the edge to resemble circular
switchback railway. In the center Of
this board he fastened a second circu-
lar board on a steel post that At into
ball-bearing bicycle axle To the
top board was fastened by n. vans of a
rod. a small wheel. which was so fxed
that II would strike at each revolution

move and continued in motion until
stopped by its inventor. The machine
is started by the wheel running down
the incline on one side. This takes
the weight on the opposite side away
from the center of gravity. and it car
ries the machine around until the
wheel strikes the top of the incline

Grimes says he worked for six years
before he discovered way TO force

GOULD JOINS ROCKEFELLER
St. Paul and Missouri Pacific Form
a Traffic Agreement.

Chicago. Aug BY what Is to be
known as traffic agreement"
close alliance has been entered into
between the Chicago Milwaukee and
St. Paul Railroad Company and the
Missouri Pacific system, one repre-
senting the Rockefeller interest and
the other the great Southwestern Rail
way system of the Goulds. by which
the former company will secure a d.
rect line to Salt Lake City and give
the Missouri Pacific a direct entrance
from the Kansas City gateway into
Chicago.
The alliance will place the st. Paul
system with a terminus more than
midway to the Pacific Coast, give II a
line direct to Ell Paso, Tex. over the
Texas and Pacific track, which are
owned by the Gould interests, and tap
the great Southwest. which is grid
ironed by the Gould lines.
This means the entrance of the St
Paul road as competitor for the pas
senger trafic between Chicago and
Kansas City, something it has never
heretofore had. The competition is to
be made possible by the completion
of cutoff lines. which gives the St
Paul direct route touching the most
profitable cities and towns Of any Of
the road running between the two cit

The alliance may be said on reliable
