LEFT BANQUET TO SEEK DEATH
Society Woman Leaves Her Guests tc
Go and Shoot Herself.

MONT CLAIR, n. j. Nov. 1S.-With
every apparent reason to enjoy life
and possessing youth, beauty, a happy
home and affluence, Mrs. Edward De
Witt Walsh left her guests at table at
her country home here Wednesday
night and within a few minutes sent
a bullet into her heart. She died al
most instantly.
She had been the life of the dinner
party and those who had listened to
her merry conversation could scarcely
bring themselves to believe that she
had wilfully ended her life. No mo-
tive could be even guessed.
Edward De Witt Walsh until three
weeks ago was a member of the firm
Of Walsh & Reasonson at Wall street
He left the firm and went into bust
ness on his own account, selling his
seat in the New York Stock Exchange

The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1903-01-02

Elkhart, Ind. Dec. 99!-Charles H.
Uass. we'll known tailor of this city,
thinks he has solved the cheap fuel
question in the discovery of substi-
tute of coal produced by mixing OF
seven different chemicals together and
giving volume and shape to the com
pound by saturating dirt or mud and
moulding it in the desired form. He
saws the weight and bulk are about
the same as thoseOf hard coal, but that
a winters supply will cost about one
half what coal would cost under nor
NAL conditions, when coal is not scarce,
as at present.
Mr.. Haas refuses to divulge the name
of anv of the chemicals used, but says
they were discovered and their proper
proportions hscertained by over IL
wears experimenting based on IL
knowledge of chemistry gained through
study during his leisure hours for the
last nine wears. The bricks burn prac-
ticallv like anthracite coal, except that
they last longer than Jumps OF coal OF
equal size, and the residue is fine
ash, with only an occasional lump or
clinker.

Quarantine Removed.

Washington, Dec. 24.-The quaran-
against Connecticut on account OF the
endemic of foot and mouth disease in
New England has been removed
formally by Secretary Wilson. The
order takes immediate effect and per-
mits cattle, sheep and other livestock
to be shipped out of the state without
restriction. Quarantine is in full force
in the other New England states. Up
to date 551 cattle have been killed.
Good weather prevails in the other
states.

BRIGHT OUTLOOK FOR 1908.
Inadequate Transportation FaclIl-
ties Restrict Shipments.
FINANCIAL CONDITION GOOD.

New York, Dec. Or. G. Dunn a.
Co. S weekly review says:
Trade aud speculation experienced
the customary holiday quiet, except In
Christmas goods, which sold freely,
many packing and shippins depart
ments being still engaged on this class
of work which could not be be accepted
at the specified time. Industrial under
talSings are interrupted in many cases
by the taking of inventories, while
other plants arc closed because fuel
cann.. be obtained. Orders still come
forward freely and the new year will
open with more business on the books
than ever before. Prices of commod-
tiles are firmly held by the steady do
mestic demand and there is good eX-
port movement of the leading staples.
In this as in many other instances,
however, there is still the drawback of
inadequate transportation facilities
which restrict shipments to the sea-
board. Financial conditions are salts
factory. Railway earnings thus far
this month surpass last year by 8 per
cent and those of 1900 by III per cent.
New England shoe factories are in
full operation and have liberal orders
on hand. Quotations are firm, but
without change, as there is little new
business coming forward at this time to
produce fluctuations.
An unexpectedly favorable feature
has appeared in the market for cotton
goods. After long season of stagna-
ton in the export division, the demand
for cotton for China suddenly became
considerable, notwithstanding the de-
preston in silver and liberal stocks of
cottons in Shanghai. Domestic trade
is limited to immediate requirements as
is seasonable.
Wool is strong with further advance
anticipated next year. Failures for the
week numbered 200 in the United States
against ESQ last year and 81 in Canada,
compared with 90 year ago.

REFERRED TO THE HAGUE,
Though Thore Arc stin Unsettled Con-
ditious.

Washington, Dec 90. : President
Roosevelt will not be the arbitrator OF
the Venezuelan CONTROVERSY. The
whole vexatious subject will be referred
for adjudication to The Hague tribu-
nal. In accordance with the suggestion
made by President Roosevelt, through
Secretary Hay, President Castro was
reported to have agreed to submit the
differences to the arbitration OF the
tribunal at The Hague. The European
powers not only consented to submit
the controversy to arbitration, but
while they had expressed preference
for an arbitration TO be conducted by
President Roosevelt, they had assented
to his suggestion that the matter be
referred to The Hague.
The presentation of the case met the
hearty approval of the cabinet. No fear
is expressed by the administration that
the Monroe doctrine will be brought
into the controversy in any manner
that might result in an embarrassing
situation for the United States.

Copenhagen, Dec. 29.-The worst gale
of many years visited Denmark Christ
mas night and next morning, and has
done enormous damage to property
and shipping. Telegraphic and railroad
services have been interrupted and de-
layed. 1t is unsafe to walk the streets
of Copenhagen, owing to falling tiles
etc. Several persons were killed and
many sustained injuries. The pillars
holding up the overhead trolley lines
were blown down, and the street car
service was stopped. Many houses have
been unroofcd. and some mills and fac
tories have been partly destroyed.
There was also a severe gale in the
south of Sweden.

TIE paper adds that it is understood
that President Roosevelt's undertaking
to arbitrate involves an indirect guar
antee for the payment of the sum to be
awarded. The confidence has grown
within the past "a hours that the presi-
dent will accept the task of arbitration.

with 500 sheep, entaling loss OF $780,

the barns, 100 by roo feet in size, were

There were 5000 sheep in the barns,

NOT DEFINITELY SETTLED.
Though HaIf-lnspired Reports
Show That Efforts Continue
TO SECURE ARBITRATION.

Caracas, Dec. o7.-President Castro
has telegraphed from La Victoria ms
acceptance of the proposal OF submit
tai pending differences to the aroitra-
ton of the Hague tribunal, subject 10
certain conditions, which include cessa-
ton of the blockade and the return TO
Venezuela of the fleet seized oy the
allied powers.
President Castro's acceptance has
been transmitted to the Washington
government, from which the propose
emanated
Washington. If as stated, the sug-
ges,ion has come from Washington
that the matter should be arbitrated at
the Hague, that conclusion probably
was reached at the long conference the
president had with Secretary Hay when
the two officials were together for some
time considering the proposals from the
allies that the president take up the
question of the arbitration.
No matter by whom tne mat1er 10 al
bitrated, whether by the president or
by the Hague tribunal, the feeling here
is strong that the United States gov
eminent, if the occasion arises, will in
sist that the existing blockade be called
off, while the arbitration is in pro-
gress. The present blockading fleet
along the Venezuelan coast is sure TO
be menace to peaceful conditions and
difficulties of various kinds may arise
at any time through arbitrary action
of some of the commanders of the ships
of the allied fleet or to the intrcpidlty
of some of the shippers who may at
tempt to run the blockade. But the
greatest objection to continuance Oh
the blockade pending arbitration Will
be the loss to American shipping, which
this govern ment does not believe should
be tolerated.

Phersen of the federal court handed
down an opinion in the case in which
the express company was indicted for
CARRYING on the business of a retail

special tax as required by law, holding
that the express company is only an
agent of the vendors in carrying the
LIQUORS and collecting and returning
money, and was not engaged in the
business of liquor dealer. The court
has thus over-ridden the decision of

EQUAL RIGHTS 10 COMBINE,
Capital And Labor Stand On Same
Base Line.
BOTH MAY BE RESTRAINED.

st. Louis Dec. 90. - Capitalists
have II right to do as they please with
their money, SO long as they do not
become public charges.
"a man without capital may labor
or refuse 10 labor, SO long as he keeps
out of the poor house.
Capitalists have the right to COM
bine capital in productive enterprises
and by lawful competition drive indi-
vidual producers and small ones out of
business.
'Laborers and artisans have the
right to form unions and fight this
competition of capitalists by lawful
means"
This statement of the right of com
bination on the part of capital and
labor was handed down by Judge
c. c. Bland, in the court of appeals, in
decision in favor of Joseph Il. Walsh,
who sought an injunction to prevent
members of the Master Plumbers
Association from combining in the
refusal to sell him supplies because he
was not "a member.
Judges Barclay and Goode concurred
in decision, which was a reversal of
decision in Judge Woods court. The
case was remanded TO Judge Wood,
who had denied an injunction asked
for by Walsh, and the right of answer
is left to the association.
The appellate court, while holding
that the association should be re-
strained, as Walsh asked, refused to
dissolve the organization, as he was
requested in his petition. 1t was
stated that the association was law
fui one
