The wig is only worn by English
barristers to give them a stern, judi
cial appearance, and no one can say
that 1t fails in this respect. The GUS
tom was originated by French judge
in the seventeenth century, when, hap
pening to don a marquis wig one day,
he found it gave him such a stern and
dignified appearance that he decided
to get one for himself and wear it at
all times in court. This he did, and
the result was so satisfactory from a
legal point of view that not only
judges but barristers Also took up the
custom throughout Europe.

has been delegated the task of deciding
the grievances between the United Brother

was expected. Mr.. Downey did not return
to the city and sent no message as to his

and the explanation for his nonappearance
yesterday given by Thomas 1. Kidd. secre-

MASS MEETING AT COLUMBUS.



The mass meeting of laborers held In
Columbus, Ind, last Thursday night was
intended for and proved to be help to the
condition of the laborers of that city. The
formation in Columbus of the manufacture
ers' and merchants associations, which
avowed the purpose of defeating the pur-
poses of organized labor, was looked on
with apprehension by the leaders i'm the
labor movement in this city. The manu-
facturers and other large employers were
accused or making test case in Column
bus, and that should they be successful
in breaking the backbone of labor organi-
cation there the fight would be carried into
the larger communities The machinsts
and other tradesmen principally affected
appealed to their headquarters in this city
for aid and also TO the State Federation
of Labor.
The entire matter was threshed over in
the Central Labor Union at the last meet
ing, and in that meeting ii was asserted
that the scheme adopted in Columbus was
one of the plans of the National Associa-
ton of Manufacturers, although nothing
to prove this assertion followed. President
Perkins, of the State Federation of Labor,
stated that he knew of the trouble in
Columbus and believed that something
should be done, and done Immediately, to
stop the antagonism of the employers of
labor in Columbus to the members of or
ganiZed labor. delegate suggested a boy
colt of all manufactured products shipped
from Columbus, but the suggestion was not
taken seriously.
The plan of the local Central Labor Union
to have mass meeting was considered the
operated with it in the matter. After the
speeches by Perkins. Ed Gould and other
labor leaders at the Columbus meeting a
better feeling prevailed among the laborers
the alleged wrongs inflicted by the manu-
facturers was promised.

PULsORY VACCINATION.
Right of Boards Of Health and School
Authorities to Exclude Pupils
from School Involved.

A case involving the right of city boards
of health and school boards to require pu-
pills to be vaccinated has been appealed to
the Supreme Court, the transcript arriving
yesterday evening. The petition is that of
Melanchthon w. Halferty and others
against the Terre Haute Board of Health
and the Terre Haute School Board.
Halferty has three children, aged nine,
eleven and fourteen years. The averment
is made that they are in good physical
condition, but, as set out in the PLAINTIFF S
petition, had not, up to the time the action
was brought in the Vigo Superior Court,
been successfully vaccinated within three
years. The Health Board of Terre Haute
requested the School Board to exclude all
unvaccinated pupils from school until they
returned with certificates of successful vac
cination signed by the physician who per-
formed the operation.
Halferty brought suit for an injunction,
alleging that the School Board was threat
ening to exclude all children who had not
been successfully vaccinated within three
years. A temporary restraining order was
issued. but on the showing made by the
school and health boards the court dis
solved the restraining order. 1t was shown
that since Sept ID, 1902, up to the time the
case was heard short time ago, an cpl
demic of smallpox existed in Terre Haute
In sustaining the motion to dissolve the
restraining order the court held that the
evidence did not Justify the continuance OF
of the Board of Health at a time of anxi-
