Berlin, Nov. 1.-THE following bul
ietin regarding Emperor William
condition was issued at the new pal
ace, Potsdam:
His majesty is better for the wall
he took. The wound made during the
operation is in excellent condition and
begins to grow smaller"
1t has been learned that the throat
affection is not the only thing which
is worrying the physicians OF Emperor
William. The Kaiser is run down and
in a state of general debility as the re-
suit of restless energy in state affairs.
The physicians have notified his ma
jesty that he must husband his
strength, as too much excitement
might have serious results.
The emperor, in telegram thank
ing the municipality Of Bremin for its
congratulations on his favorable condi-
ton, added: u

restored in a short time"

was killed. The senior Malzi and the
younger man became entangled In an

son on the head with a heavy cane,
and hemorrhage OF the brain followed.
Then the father dragged the dead body
of his son. who was A years Of age,
to the front door of his house, throw
ing It into the yard. A wide streak
of blood on the floor of the house tells
the story. After a time the old man
aroused the neighborhood telling them
that his son was dead. The coroner's
jury lays the blame for the Junior
Malzi's death on the father. The par
ties are all very we'll known through

ANTI-DOYCOT'I DECISION
Labor Unions Plea In Abatement
Dismissed by Federal Court.
AN APPEAL MAY BE TAKEN

Constitutional Question May be Rails
ed Over Congress Giving Federal
judges Jurisdiction Over Suits Be-
tween Citizens Of the Same State.
bridgeport. Conn. Nov. ia de-
clsion adverse to the defendants IN
the famous antl-boycott suit brought
by d. T.. Loewe & Co, hat makers OF
Danbury. against certain labor unions
was given by Justice Thayer on the
demurrer of the plaintiff In the main
suit to the plea In abatement made by
the defendants and argued last FRI
day. The demurrer being sustained
the plea in abatement Is dismissed. An
appeal. however, IS possible as a CON
stitutional question may be raised as
to the right Of congress TO give federal
courts jurisdiction over controversies
between citizens Of the same state.
The action before Judge Thayer
arose from the plea in abatement
asked by the defe ldants-members OF
the United Hatters OF North America
and the Federation Of Labor-on the
ground that two actions on identically
the same grounds could not be main
tained in both state and federal courts
al the same time for the reason that
they were oppressive and an abuse OF
process and that the intent is To har-
rass the defendant. To this plea tae
plaintiffs filed demurrer, and this
Is sustained.
The court says in handing down the
decision that for more than 20 years
federal courts have held with practical
unanimity that the tendency OF an ac-
ton in a state court will not abate
one between the same parties in fed
eral court wherein the action Is the
same and where relief is asked. Admit
tedly. the court says. the weight OF
authority is this way. The opinion
then sets forth that while none OF the
decided cases were between citizens OF
the same state. II Is admitted that n
the true ground for decisions in those
cases is that the citizen has constl-
tuiiOnal right to have controversy
between himself and n citizen Of an
other state litigatcd in the United
States court instead Of in the courts
OF the adycrsary's citizenship, TO make
distinction between those cases and
the present one II must be held that
the plaintiff in the present one has
no constitutional right to maintain his
action In the federal court The court
further says that such Is not claimed.

Human Ball Between Locomotives.

While crossing the Pennsylvania
railway tracks at York. Pa, Saturday
night. 12-yearold Harry Amig was
struck by the train he had not seen
and tossed in front of the engine he
was seeking to avoid. This one prompt
ly pitched him back, with the regula-
tion curves, but engine number one
played hot ball in return and for the
third time the boy was sent whizzing
through the air. Fortunately he landed
between the tracks this time, where
he was quickly surrounded by group
of Mortified spectators. The surprise
of the crowd and the joy of the young
ster when it was discovered that he
had not even a scratch to show for his
dangerous experience is better left to
the Imagination than otherwise. The
experiment, however, will not bear re-
