SAN JOSE, March 6.--The inquest in
the case of Paul C. Doak, who was shot
to death by two unknown men in the

and shortly before noon the jury re-

man or men unknown.

We're examined, but little information
of value was obtained. Four Italians
are now in the county Jail under arrest
and this afternoon the heriff is out
for the purpose of arresting another.
One italian boy and woman are also
being detained as important witnesses.
Although no direct information was OBJ
tanned, sufficient facts were brought out
at the inquest to dissipate the theory
that Doak had been mistaken for an
other man, it now being almost certain,
in the new light thrown on the case,
that he had been drinking and dancing
in the dive and that the motive for the
crime was drunken jealousy.

STRIKERS NOT LIABLE

IMPORTANT DECISION is Rem.

Court OverruIes the Contention of
Employers Association in Case Of

CHICAGO, March 6.-The contention
of the Employers association that an

The decision is the first authoritative
Interpretation of the act by court OF
record and is regarded by labor union
men as an important legal victory.
Attorneys for the Employers associa-
ton have contended that any inter-
ference with the business of a firm or
individual could be punished under the
act During the teamsters' strike last
summer Jerry Mccarthy, business
agent of the Teamsters' union, was
held to the criminal court by Justice
Dooley under the act,
The law, which was passed imne-
diately after the railroad strikes of
1877, forbids interference with the bust
ness of any railroad corporation or
company, or with any individual or
firm.
The attorneys for the unions argue
that the intent of the legislature was
to protect the railroad companies, and
that the words "other firm or indi-
vidual' were put in to make the act
constitutional and not class legis-
lation.
Olson and Horn were indicted under
the railroad act and for assault with
a deadly weapon. They will be tried
only on the latter charge.
