WARRANT OUT FOR
Mr.. .TH0S. LAWSON
Criminal Libel Charge
Is Made Against
Him By G. W.
Barrow.

Boston, Nov. 14.-The issuance
of a warrant for the arrest of
Thomas w. Lawson in connec-
ton with the suit for damages
for alleged criminal libel brought
by Clarence W. Barron of Boston,
was ordered by Judge Wentworth
of the Municipal Court to-day.
By agreement of counsel, how
ever, the warrant will not be ser.
we'd until Saturday next, when
Mr.. Lawson will appear to ans
wer to the charge against him.
The counter charge grows out
of alleged libelous matter against
Lawson, which has appeared in
the market slips published by
the bureau of which Mr.. Barron
is the head.
Meanwhile, counsel for Lawson
states, application will be made
by his client for the arrest of
Barron, also on charges of crimi-
nal libel.
The allegations of Barron
against Lawson are based upon
statements made in a magazine
article which appeared in Octo.
Der under the name of Mr.. Law
son and in various typewriter
tissue market sheets circulated
by Mr.. L awson.

This is gift especially suitable for
some near friend or member of the
family. Lamps these days are so
beautifully decorated that they have
about all the elements of perfect gifts.
The range of prices is also so great that
anyone can be suited in that respect.
The lamps we are showing this season
are the very latest and most attractive
designs. The cheapest will adorn any
home. Most complete stock in town.

limit Of political activities in which
postmasters may indulge and watch the
effect attendant upon the attempt to en-
force it. spasmodic outbreaks Of this ma

the past but Efforts In the direction Of
divorclns postmasterships from politics
have met with slight success, due IN a
large measure to failure TO enforce the
rules promulgated. Sudden outbursis Of
virtue have been followed by an era OF
Indifference, resulting IN reversion TO
the old conditions and the nullifying of
any good that might have been accom-
plished
