cided to go to Rutter's Grove and have it out. Arriving at the Market street edge of the woods, their passion seemed to have reached it's highest point, and not having patience to go further into the woods, they peeled off their coats and vests, ripped off their collars and neck ties, and prepared for business. Before they started they agreed that the fight should not be of the rough-and-tum ble order, and that all breaks should be clean.
 Then they sailed in and batted each other for 45 minutes, each trying to put the other out. They were so evenly matched, however, that honors were even all through the mill, and before the finish they were so weak they could hardly stand and neither could strike a blow of sufficient foroe to put a nine year-old boy out of business. After wearing each other out, the bel1igerents concluded that they had enough for one day and agreed to meet again.
 While the fight was on great crowd gathered and applauded and cheered while they stood in the open and became drrenched td the skin.

RULING IN INSURANCE SUIT.
Superior Court Decision at Variance
 With Supreme Court.

Chicago, June 11.-Judge Philip Stein of the superior court has given a ruling that is directly at variance with a decision of the supreme court of the United States on a similar ques- tion.
 The ruling arises in an insurance suit brought by Mrs Sarah Ihr1g to pre- vent the Mutual Life Insurance Go, which has it's home office in New York city from forfeiting a policy of $2,OoO, taken out in the name of her husband, without giving notice.
 The supreme court had decided in the Cohen case that New York insurance company can forfeit policies written outside the state without giving notice, while the New York statute provides that notice must be given of the voiding of policies. The Ihrig policy was writ ten in Colorado. After considering all the facts Judge Stein ruled that the company must abide by the New York law, notwithstanding the decision of the federal supreme court to the con trary.

President Thwing Says Universities
 Will Probably Solve Problem.
 Urbana, III, June 11.-That the uni versailles will be of great use in solv- ing the problems of the troubles be- tween capital and labor was declared by President Charles F. Thwing of the Western Reserve university in an ad- dress at the commencement exercises at the University of Illinois.
 "The purpose of the university is to give aid in current social problems" :" said Dr Thwing. ''The love of men is one of the means to solve these intri- cate social problems, and the college is the place where the highest inter- pretation of the true meaning of the word love is made, and by its ex- ample the university can help in solv- ing the great problem.
 "The element Of humor is also an- other essential in dealing with this question. Good fellowship is the true solution of the matter under considera- ton, and American colleges can do much to promote this fellowship, which will greatly simplify matters by main taining a high standard of wit and humor."
 The university conferred the hon. orary degree of master of arts upon John E. Wright, managing editor of the Chicago Evening Post.

THE STRIKERS STATEMENT
Deny Story That Waterbury Strikers

Deny Story That Waterbury Strikers
 Asked to Be Taken on at Bridgeport.
 The strikers executive committee is- sued the following statement this af- ternoon:
 'gThis, the 152d day of f strike, finds our ranks firm and as determined to fight for justice as we were twenty- two weeks ago, notwithstanding Man ager SeweIs report to the contrary. He is quoted as saying that he had twenty-five men from Waterbury to fill the Bridgeport strikers places. This is quite possible except the number. As Manager Sewell well knows he could not spare twenty-five strike breakers from Waterbury, and we know of no others who would under take to do such work. As far as the strikers applying for work, there is no
 more truth in the statement than there has been in many others emanat1nS from the same source. To our minds the statement has been made to have its effect on the Bridgeport men, but from communications we have had with them they thoroughly understand our position in that regard.
 "YesterdaY we referred to the fact that the company were endeavortng to supplant the original strike-breakers with local strike-breakers. How this will help matters any we fail to see, as the people who have sympathiZed with us from the start and still continue to do so look upon the local strike-break- CTS with more contempt than they old the original busters.
 "A funny incident took place Ill the court room yesterday afternoon, when Lawyer O%Neill started the electric ran: Wales remarked that MT O'Neill was going to blow himself. A spectator who sat next the superin- tendeut replied, Yes, he Is going to make business good for the z. R. and L. Co., to which the superinten1.dent sadly replied They need 1t now.'"

STRIKE OF BRICKLAYERs.
First Strike in Twenty Years Now On
 In New York,


 New York, June 1.-The first gen. eral strike of brfcklayers this city has seen in 20 years is now threatened. There are 5000 men belonging to eight unions. The latter originally demand ed of the employers an increase from 65 to 70 cents an hour and that all foremen should join the union. After some exchanges, the first demand was withdrawn. The employers have now refused to have their foremen become unionists, and at meeting of the eight lodges. it has been decided to press both of the original demands. Until this clash occurred an annual agreement on all matters has been made between the bricklayers and the mason builders association through a joint arbitration board consisting of eight bricklayers and eight mason builders.
