Case Involving Entire Aluminum In,
 dustry of the Country.

New York, Oct. PA case involving the entire aluminium industry of the country was decided here to-day, when the United States court of appeals handed down a decision upholding the validity of the so-called Bradley patent for smelting by the use of electricity. The suit was brought by the Electric Smelling and Aluminium company of Cleveland against the Pittsburg Reduc- ton company, the only concern manu- featuring aluminium in this country, with plants at Niagara Falls and Mas sena, N. Y., and the court reversed the decision of the lower court, granted the Cleveland company an injunction re- straining the Pittsburg Reduction com pany from the use of the processes at present employed, and ordered an ac- counting of profits for the time that it has been manufacturing aluminium in infringement of the Bradley patent, some twelve years.

New York, Oct. 22 Samuel Parks, the walking delegate. who was indicted early this week for perjury, and who could not be found by the authorities, gave himself up to-day. He was taken to the Tombs and up to midnight had been unable to secure a bondsman.
 William s. Devery, who had original ly procured bondsman for Parks to the amount of $1S,000, has declined to aid him any longer. In long state ment issued tonight Devery gave his reasons, saying:
 T had already procured bondsmen for Parks in the penalty of slS, ,000 This was done merely as a matter of friend- ship to him. and because believed he was persecuted man. have not seen Parks since October 2, when he return ed from Kansas City. Since then he has been consorting with Mir. Murphy and his friends, and they have been un- dertaking his defense, 50 am in formed.

HALIFAX PAPERS SORE.
One Says Canada Was Routed b, # .sss@G aBIufT.n #

Halifax, N. S., Oct. 22The press of this city comments on the Alaskan boundary award as follows:
 The Chronicle: '"The Americans once more have routed us Automatically, horse, foot and artillery. They have played successfully their old dashing game of bluff.
 "We have nothing henceforth to fear from the United States worse than another 'tarbitration.' And we have already suffered about all that we can from arbitration" ea.- e.
 The Recorder: Canadian interests have been sacrificed and this after Can ada has sacrificed blood and treasurer in defence of the motherland. This marks a most serious epoch in the re- lations between Canada and the moth- CT country" a.y %&
 The Herald makes no comment but charges the Canadian government with neglect and fault because the treaty of reference was not submitted to Cana dian parliament for ratification.

NIAON AGAIN ON THE STAND
SHIP TRUST SECRETS CONTINUE
 TO COME OUT.
His Plan of A.sessment to Save the Cor poration Opposed by Charles m. schwab-stsel man Declined to Put Up Any More Money Unless Bethlehem Bonds Were Glven Prefersnse as Lien Upon tho Trusts Plant.

New York, Oct. 22-Lewis Nixon oc- |cupied the witness chair again to-day lat the hearing before an examiner of she United States Shipbuilding case and
 gave much valuable testimony covering the finances and general affairs of the corporation. He testified that he had opposed the Sheldon reorganization plan and had himself, as a counter proposition, urged that the stock be assessed in order to raise the amount necessary to save the combination from default and bankruptcy. His plan of |assessrnent was opposed by Charles M. Schwab. holder at that time of s20, ,000,- 1000 of the stock, who, according to MT.
 Nixon. declared that the stockholders would not pay the assessment. MT Schwab, so Mr. Nixon swore, declined Ito put up any more money unless the
 Bethlehem bonds were given preference las lien upon the shipbuilding plants to the first mortgage bonds.
 MT. Nixon's testimony also developed the fact that there was a wide discrep- |ancy as to the estimated earnings in letters written by Treasurer Gary to members of the reorganization commit |tee. and Samuel Untermeyer, counsel
 for the bondholders, asked If 1t did not show that there had been an attempt
 to minimize the value of the shipyards land magnify the value of the Bethle-
 hem plant, but the witness would not say so.
 Much time was taken up with an un- successful effort to get at the history Nf .fx1,te o1, I lat the Trust Company of the Republic.
 It was drawn to Lewis Nixon or our selves" on the same day the checks
 were made out for the payment of the leash given to the vendors for their plants and property. Nixon swore that. he had never seen the check before and that he knew nothing Of it's history.
 Both sides disclained knowledge of it's history and the destination of the amount of money for which 1t was
 drawn, and the only explanation offer
 led from any source was that it had
 been made out by mistake and had sim ply been put through the banks by the.
 Trust Company of the Republic. The
 effort to get the history of tho check
 will be renewed later in the hearing. I N1AOIl 5l6Slllleu tA1l lG fAuGW dS SdTlys #as last April that unless the combina- tion could get some money from the Bethlehem property or elsewhere it must fail, and warned his associates on the directorate that they must husband resources.
 It was brought out on cross examina- tion that the share of promotion profits set aside for SchWab, of which Nixon told yesterday, had never been paid. None of the commitments on account of promotion were paid, So MT. Nixon testified.
 The hearing goes on to-rnorrow after noon and at the close will probably be adjourned for ten days on account of set engagements of counsel. This ad- iournment will probably prevent the taking of the testimony of MT. Schwab and MT. Pam until some time week af- ter next.

MURPHY NOT WORRYING.
Yale Trainer Apparently Not Concerned
 Over Team,s Condition.

The work of the Yale team yesterday was very light because of the hard game expected with West Point Satur- day. Despite the apparently crippled condition of the team Mike" Murphy was in an unusually happy frame of mind and joked with the leading play CTS as though there was nothing in the football outlook to worry about. There are quite few who feel the same as he does, but still there are the usual number of doubters who say that Boomers shoulder dislocation may keep him out of the game for the rest Of the season and with the other crip- oles leave the team in bad shape.
 Bloomer's accident will probably re- suit in the removal of Kinney to guard and Shevlin to tackle. This arrange ment may not be seen at West Point on Saturday, for Shevlin and Hogan are resting with bruised sides, Kinney and Andrews have bad ankles, and Bowman is not in the best of condition.

CANADA MADE OBJECTION.
DID NOT WANT MEsSRS. RooT.
 LODGE AND TURNER.
Only Accepted Them as Amsrie.n Aiaskan Boundary commis.ionsrs After British Ambassadors and sscrs- .ary Hay signed Treaty wi,hous Dominion's Consent-matser Up In Canadian ParIiament.
Canadian Parliament, t,

Ottawa. Ontario. Oct. 22.-The Alaska boundary correspondence was laid be- fore the house to-day. It consists of messages between the colonial office. Washington and Ottawa. It shows that Canada agreed to submit the question to jurists of repute and protested strongly when Messrs. Root, Lodge and Turner were appointed by the United States. The colonial office expressed its regrets and then urged the accept ance of these gentlemen rather than the breaking off of negotiations
 MT. Chamberlain asked Canada's con- sent to this, but apparently without waiting for that consent to be given Sir Michael Herbert. for England, and MT. Hay, for the United States. signed the treaty There was nothing for Canada to do then but protest and agree, and this was gracefully done.
 in the senate to-day Sir Mackenzie BoWell, leader of the opposition, asked for information concerning the Alaska boundary awards
 MT. Scott, for the government, said that the most important reason why the Canadian commissioners did not ap- prove of the award was that it was not a judicial document decision. Lord Al- verstone had in the first instance agreed that the center of the Portland canal should form the boundary line. The four islands should have gone to either the one country or the other, de- pending upon the position of the line through the Portland channel. Subse- ouently Lord Alverstone deflected the line so as to throw two of the islands into the United States and two into Canada.
 Sir Mackenzie Bowell said that 1t was unfortunate that in every case when negotiations have taken place be- tween the United States and England where Canada was affected the United States diplomats had succeeded in se- curing islands which commanded most important points of our dominion. There was the island right opposite the harbor of Port Arthur In case of diff f1cultv that island will have to be se- cured by the British people, for if for tiffed it would command the entrance to that harbor. Unless that were done5 the United States could secure 1t, and. with the guns they have at present, would be able to destroy the whole con- nection between east and west. It was the same with the island of San Juan, another one secured by treaty negotia- tion
 Now the United States will command Fort Simpson. In every case Canadian interests were sacrificed.
 < Senator McMullen said that the decis- ion would create as much dissatisfac- ton in Canada as there was in Trans- vaal and in Ireland.
 MT. Borden. leader of the opposition, asked if the premier had any informa- tion as to the award.
 Sir Wilfrid Laurier replied that he had no additional information beyond what was in the newspapers The Brit ish authorities had not allowed certain correspondence which passed between both governments to be made public.

Leseur. Minn., Oct. 22.-The Farmers and Merchants bank, a private institu- tion. owned by W. H. and W. A. Pat ten, father and son, closed its doors this afternoon. Neither of the co-partners would make a statement as to the cause of the failure, nor of the finan- cial condition of the bank further than to say that the liabilities would amount to s50000. The bank was not conducted under the state banking laws and had no capital stock. Its depositors were largely farmers from the surrounding country. It is alleged that over specu- lation was the cause of the failure.
