IN BARNES CASE.
Amount Involved is S., 1872. Claim
Fraudulent Sending of Telegram.
Petition has Been Filed.

Petition has Been Filed.
The following telegraphic dispatch
appeared in the Fort Dodge Messenger
of recent date, and gives some infor.
nation regarding the suing of the
telegraph company by Schriver Bros:
The petition has been filed with
Captain W. II Johnston, clerk of the
United States court, in the suit of G.
e. Schriver and G. r. Schriver, part
ners, trading and doing business under
the firm name and style of Schriver
Brothers VS.. the Western Union Tele
graph company.
The plaintiffs claim in the petition
that they are engaged in the raising
and buying and selling of cattle. The
sum of money involved is So, 1872. The
story OF the case as set forth in the
petition, is that on March IL, 1902, a
person representing himself as E. S.
Barnes, orally agreed to buy from the
plaintiffs eight a loads of cattle for
the sum mentioned, and gave his IN
dividual check for that amount payable
to the order of the plaintiff on the
Bank of Denison. The plaintiffs re-
fused to accept such a check in pay
ment for said cattle, %whereupon Mr.,
Barnes orally represented to the
plaintiffs and agreed with them that
he would have the Bank of Denison
wire the Commercial bank at Britt.
Iowa. the bank where Schriver Broth
ers transacted their banking business.

livered by the defendant telegraph
company, which purported to be from
the Bank Of Denison and stated that it
would honor Barnes draft for 8 1912.
The plaintiffs on this security de-
livered the cattle to the party repre-
senting himself to be Banres, who took
them and disposed of them elsewhere.
When the check was presented to the
Bank of Denison, payment was refused
by the bank for the reason that said
Barnes had no funds on deposit there
Barnes claims to be insolvent, and the
plaintiffs, being unable to collect from
him, bring suit against the telegraph
company, on the ground that the tele-
gram was false, and was so known, or
by the exercise of reasonable care and
caution, ought to have been so known,
and ask damages for the amount named,
$S,972. with interest.
The Bank of Havelock today filed
papers in a quit for $500 against the
Western Union Telegraph company in
the same case. The bank held a
mortgage for this amount on the cattle
sold by Schriver Brothers, and re-
leased it On the basis of the telegram
upon which Schriver Brothers &C
cepted check.

MOTHER AND BABY STARVED.
CIasped in Each Others Arms They
 Yield to Cold and Hunger.

New York. Dec 1O-Mrs Winifred Owens. a widow, 31 years od and her three-year-od son John, were found dead yesterday in a room on the top floor of a four story double tenement house at 162 Hope street, Williams burg. A doctor who examined the bodies said that death was due to starvation and exposure.
 The husband of Mrs Owens was killed by an accident about year ago. She tried to make a living by sewing. A brother, John Bradley, helped her and her child along and vainly tried to induce her to live with his family Mrs Owens, however, preferred to live by herself and make her own living. She rented two rear rooms in the Hope street house last Friday. When the bodies were found yesterday the woman's arms encircled her boy and the child's lips were pressed against |lhis mothers face. There was neither food nor fuel in the rooms and nearly all Mrs Owenss things were in the same position as when they were moved in on Friday. An attempt had been made to put up the stove
 Mrs Owens's head lay in pool of blood and it was the opinion of the doctor that besides starvation and ex- posture she had been stricken with a hemorrhage.

DISCUSSING THE LABOR QUESTION

Theodore F. Harburg, yice-president of the American Economic association, said the actual experience of localities in which the shorter work day had been tried shows that the morals of the To- cality had improved. To abruptly re- duce the working day two hours would, in his opinion, work a hardship on the community. A reduction of a quarter of an hour at time, repeated at inter- vals through several years, would be the better and safer way.
 George H. Barbour of Detroit pres ident of the National Association of Manufacturers, discussed the shorter hour question from the standpoint of the manufacturer. s.I would never op- pose the eight-hour bill," he said, Eff it's effects could be universal. But it would affect prejudicially the interests of certain manufacturers without af- fecting others The effect of the passage of the bill. he said. would ulti- mately be to injure the 1aborer, so that in speaking against the passage of the bill he felt that he was speaking for the interests of labor. At the present time he believed it would be impossible for manufacturers to run three shifts of men for periods of eight hours each, there not heinz enough workmen ill the country to permit it.

OFFICER ALLEN SAID LIAR
And Liveryman Coyle Thinks He
 Should Answer for It.

The Row Started Over the Condition
 of MT Coyle's Sidewalk-The Officer
 Thought it Was Not Clean Enough,
 Coyle Thought it Was-Allen Said
 You're Another and Now for the
 Finish.
 Officer Chester Allen of the police department Is in trouble again and un- less all signs fail he will have to do a whole lot Of explaining in order to set himself rlgnt before the board of pub lie safety. The aggrieyed party is 1T. NJ. CoyIe, the well known liveryman, whose barns and residence are located on Washington street. Monday Officer Allen called MT Coyle's attention to the sidewalk in front of his premises, tell ing him that he would have to get it in better shape for public travel. It ap- pears that one of MT Coyle's men had just finished shOveling and sanding the walk, but all the same the officer per sisted that it was not safe. MT Coyle is said to have told the officer that the walk was in good condition, where upon, so witnesses state, the guardian of the public peace informed the livery man that he was liar, with an ex- pression in front of liar which would not look right in cold type. It is said that Mir Coyle first thought of resent ing the insult then and there, but final ly concluded to take other steps. He called upon Judge Lowe and gave him all the facts, and after hearing the evil dence the attorney decided that it was a case which should be brought to the attention of the authorities. Judge Lowe said this afternoon that he is preparing the complaint and will file it with the city clerk as soon as it is ready. The charge will be for conduct unbecoming an officer.

COAL DEALERS GETTING IT.

From People Who Want Coal and
 Wood Delivered Immediately
 These are trying days for the clerks in the offices of the local coal dealers. As yet no office has been besieeed, or rather no onslaught has been made on it, but the clerks have been overloaded with abuse. This morning one man went into a local coal office and or- dered ton of coal. When told that he could only have half a ton and that it would not be delivered until Fri day, his wrath knew no bounds. He told the dealer that he wished that he and every other coal dealer in the city were in --, with his Satanic majesty. A few minutes later an elderly woman came in. She wanted some coal right away. She had put the last shovelful of coal in the stove before she left the house. On being told that she couldn't have any before Friday she stormed with rage. What, do you think that we are going to freeze to death for want of a little coal? We freeze and then the city laments us. What good does that dol" Just then a man came in to order load of wood. When the price. $4.50, was mentioned. he turned on his heel and muttering, "Nay, nay,
 
 dealer said that innumerable were the persons who had visited the office to- day to order coal. who said that they had none. He said: "It is not want of coal that is troubling us: it is the means to deliver it. You can't hire a team in the city. Some of us coal dealers have hired teams in Naugatuck, Union City, Watertown and even in Litchfeld. but we haven't half enough. Our teamsters had to work last Sun day also. We have not reached the orders that we received yesterday. Any orders we took to-day can't be filled until Friday. We give the people the alternative of waiting until Friday and paying S5.25 half ton and we will deliver it. or they can hire team, if they can, and go down to the yard to-day and get half ton for S5. We are doing the best we can. but the pub- lie doesn't seem to think so I have received all kinds of nice compliments the past few days, but have to stand them."

CAPTURED AFTER LONG CHASE.
Youth Found by Detective
 Sergeant and Hundcuffed.


 Sergeant and Hundcuffed.
 New Haven, Dec 1O.-The son of a prominent Washington, D. O., family was captured in thls city last night by Detective Sergeant w. T. Tyser of the Washington police headquarters and was taken home on the 11:30 express, which was two hours late. The young man, who gave the name of "F. B. Gay," which was assumed, had left his home three months ago with Wo- man, it is said, and has been followed from Bridgeport to Boston and finally to this city, where the pair were To- cated. All this was done without any notification of the officials of the New Haven force.
 The youth when seen last night by Palladium man was suffering mental ly and was in such a nervous condi- ton that he rolled and jumped about as he sat closely guarded by the big detective sergeant. The youth was handcuffed by the right wrist and the unused cuff hung from the chain and clanked as he tried to conceal it.
 Detective Tyser arrived in this city at o'clock yesterday morning and made the rounds of local resorts in search of the lad. Tyser found him early in the evening. but the youth was the only one wanted
 At the station when interviewed the detective sergeant did not wish to talk. The least mention of the facts in the cause caused Gay to become almost uncomfortable. He would hug the de tective and moan: Don't tell! Don't tell"
 The sergeant explained as best he could that the youth is of good family but has become incorrigible He is being taken home on the promise that he will be started in business. HGay'' was talking of this in his disconnected way.
 He will be cared for when he re- turns and the parents will try to hush up the matter.
 The fact that the boy was hand cuffed was evident that he was not going of his own accord, and how the sergeant could come to the city and take the prisoner away is as yet unex- plained.
 City Attorney Webb, when inter- viewed this morning. said that man can be taken without extradition pa pers if he goes of his own accord. "Gay'' was very apparently not able to tell whether he was willing to go or not owing to his condition.
 Chief of Police Wrinn when inter- viewed said that he had not been noti- fled of the Washington detectives being in town or of the young mans arrest.

4 NEW SEWAGE SYSTEM
Residents of Columbia Boule-
 yard Have a Scheme.

It Is Doing It's Work in a Thorough
 Manner The Plan is the Same as
 That Now in Use in New Orleans.
 A number of residents of Columbia boulevard feel that they have solved the sewage disposal problem, at least so far as they are themselves con cerned, and the system they have adopted they are confident can easily be applied to the local difficulty. In support of this claim they say it is in use in New Orleans, and is meeting with all the requirements of that large city. Among those who use it are Prosecuting Agent Wilson H. Pierce and the Rev Dr Anderson. MT Pierce explained the system in the probate court this morning to smaIl bat ap- preciative audience. It is known on the market as the Waring Subsurface Sewage Infiltration system, after the inventor, Colonel Waring, who made his name famous throughout this country by his method of keeping clean the streets of New York during the reform administration of the late Mayor Strong of that city.
 The system is a simple affair In the first place the ground on which it is to be employed is prepared by be- ing softened and mixed with certain quantity of sand The sand keeps the ground in a responsive condition. This is the infiltration bed Two or more large covered tanks are built in the ground, according as the demands require, one tank being about one-half the size of the other The larger one is connected with the residence and the bacilli natural to it's contents eat up the solids until they die. But new ones are always forming so that in time, a day or more according to the supply in the tank, it's contents be- come water. This flows through a pipe into the smaller tank, being forced through by a mechanical device and from the smaller tank the water is f. nally discharged into the infltration bed through a series of small pipes penetrating it i'll all directions. Wind sun and atmosphere do the rest, so that after the tanks have been emp tied a few hours the prepared grounds, or beds, are dry and clean, containing not the slightest odor.
 MT Pierce named one city where this method of sewage disposal has been in use for eleven years, during which time the caps on the tanks had not been removed or renewed, the lit tie machinery in the system found tts be as good almost as when new, and the whole affair in perfect condition and had given full satisfaction

WILL BSK FOR INJUNCTION
The Glass Strikers Take Action
 Against Glass Corporation.

The Glass Company Must Show Cause
 Why the Injunction Should Not Be
 Issued This is the First Case of It's
 Kind in the History of Labor Trou-
 bles.
 New York. Dec 1O.-The Minotola glass strike, after lasting many months, has resulted, a dispatch to the Tribune from Yineland, N. J., says, in labors unprecedented application for an injunction against a corporation, the hearing of argument on which, be- fore Chancellor Gray at Camden, will attract much attention.
 For the first time in the history of jurisprudence the great question whether or not organized labor has the same legal standing with organized capital has at last been brought be- fore the courts by the granting of an order by e-Chancellor Grey requir- ing the Jonas Glass Go of Minotola to show cause why an injunction should not be issued restraining it from inter fering with the legitimate business of the strikers.
 For the first time in the history of litigation affecting capital and labor a trades union has set up in the courts the right to combine" to assist strikers. and asks the court for protec- ton against the Jonas Glass Go, which, it alleges, not only interferes with it's legal right to persuade but by force of arms, intimidates. shoots. beats and attempts to drive the officers and mem bers of the glass union from Minotola.
