SUES FOR HEAVY DAMAGES
Manufacturers Of Peruna Demand
$3.50, 900 Of Publishers Of Ladies'
Home Journal.

Chicago, Sept. 30-Claiming that it
has the original of testimonial which
the Ladies' Home Journal recently de-
clared to be fraudulent, the Peruna
Drug Manufacturing company, makers
OF a widely-known proprietary medi-
cine, has brought suit in the superior
court of Chicago for $25O,OOO damages.
The Curtis Publishing company, Of
Philadelphia, is named as defendant.
The testimonial in question is one
which the Ladies' Home Journal de-
clared that Congressman George H.
White, of South Carolina, never gave,
backing up it's statement by an undated
letter from Mr.. White. In its declara-
ton the Peruna company denies that
the testimonial is fraudulent, and as
serts it has two original letters from
Congressman White, which were given
In good faith as testimonials to the
merit of the remedy. Mr.. Whites de-
NAL, the Peruna company claims, was
secured through misunderstanding.
This is the second suit for large
damages filed against the Ladies'
Home Journal since it began its cru
SADIE against patent medicines"

GOVERNMENT WINS AGAIN.
Indicted Packers Ordered by Judge
in Chicago to Appear
for Trial.

Chicago, Sept. 3O.-The packers in
dicted in the federal cases for violation
of the Sherman antitrust law suffered
another sweeping defeat Friday when
Judge Humphrey, in the United States
district court, sustained the demurrer
of United States District Attorney
Morrison to the plea in abatement filed
some time ago by the packers.
The packers must now stand trial
in the federal court on the indictments
charging them with violating the anti
trust laws. The court ordered the de-
PENDANTS to appear in court Thursday
and plead guilty or not guilty to the
charges made by the government that
they conspired in the transaction Of
their business to the injury of fair
competition.
One of the main points set up by
the defense was that Judge Bethea,
who received the indictments, was not
acting legally because Of change in
the boundary lines of the judicial dis
tricts. Judge Humphrey said he had
found by the congressional records
that Judge Bethea, in the opinion of
the court, was legally sitting.
Judge Humphrey also held that the
grand jury which returned the in.
dictment was legally drawn.

TELLS OF HIS THEFT.
Man Who Stole $3.50, 900 from a New
York Bank Confesses to His
Crime.

New York, Oct. 3-The name of the
young man under arrest for the theft
of securities amounting to $359,OOO
from the National City bank on
Wednesday last was Henry Leonard.
He is young clerk in the employ of
Halle & Stieglitz, brokers at No. 80
Broad street. By his confession, made
Monday, the mystery was entirely
cleared up. Leonard, who lives with
his parents at No. $50 One Hundred
and Thirty-sixth street, was arrested
Sunday and kept in close confinement
while the detectives continued their
search for the missing seculxties, every
dollar Of which was recovered. The
prisoner, who is only "a years old, and
who has previously borne the reputa-
ton of an Industrious and thoroughly
reliable clerk, made the astounding
statement in his confession that he had
planned and carried out his scheme of
forgery and robbery, not from any
criminal motive, but solely to show by
what simple device the safeguards of
New York banks could be set at
naught.
Leonard was held in the tombs po-
lice court in $4,000 bail for further ex-
animation. On leaving the courtroom
on his way to prison he said, in re-
Spouse to a question, Il did it on q
bet
