SUMMER MAN IN COLORS
Rainbow Stockings and Neckties, With
"Noisy" Shirts to Be in
Vogue This Year

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, March 1.-The makeup
of the summer man of 1906 is forecast
in the Haberdasher for February. He
will differ from the summer man of
former years largely in being more
So"
Indications show that the shirtmak-
ers, having reached the limit in weird
combinations of color last year, have
gone back to the patterns in use when
the negligee shirt era began. The pop
ular pattern will be a white shirt full
of all sorts of squares made by deep
colored light lines, which will remind
one of the kind that Uncle Si' used to
wear with Celluloid collar pinned on
it.
The clothing for men will be light in
color and full of squares made by dark
Colored lines. The coats for spring and
summer are to be "waisty'-that is
they are to show the figure between
the hips and the shoulders.
The follower collar will continue in
favor.
Trousers will be slightly narrower and
as short as sightliness will permit. Half
hose of rainbow hues and neckties tC
match will help along the color scheme
Panama hats and the fine straw AL
pines and sailors VIII make up the
headwear. The pajamas for summer
are wonderful things and, to use an
expression of Broadway are perfect
screams" with all sorts of fancy orna-
mentation.

WARD SuCCUMBS
TO HIS WOUND
SURVIVES DAYS, DESPITE HIS
FATAL INJURY
Father, Racing With Death Toward
Los Angeles, Is Unable to
Reach the Dying Sons

Charles w. Ward, the Boston at
torney, died at the California hospital
last evening at $3.50 o'clock. Ward
shot himself Wednesday morning
about 1:30 o'clock. The bullet tore
it's way through the upper lobe of the
heart, but, despite his condition, the
fated man lived many hours after all
had given up hope.
According to friends, Ward COM
mitted suicide through sorrow, which
was brought on by pending divorce
case. While in the delirium Ward
called for his wife and son. Ward and
his wife are of prominent Boston
families
After .regaining consciousness Ward
asked attendants what the newspapers
had to say about him. He vehemently
denied that he had any trouble with
his wife. Ward talked considerably
about a woman named Hughes, whom
he claimed as a friend.
Through the efforts of the best skilled
medical men on the coast the man
was kept alive. DR.. j. P. Quint was
in charge of Ward. AS soon as no
titled of the trouble of his son, the
father started from Boston. He raced
with death and lost.
1t is expected that Ward, sr., will
arrive in Los Angeles tomorrow or
Sunday.

Philadelphia Saloon Man Says Busi.

He Wants to Get Out
Special to The Herald.


PHILADELPHIA, March 1.-For the
first time in the nearly twenty years
that the Brooks high license law has
been in force here, petition has been
filed by licensed liquor dealer asking
that his license be revoked because the
trade has degenerated through the sale
of impure liquors and that the traffic is
responsible for untold human misery
and death.
Matthew M. Farrell is the petitioner.
The wholesale liquor business is being
done in his name at Forty-seventh
street and Lancaster avenue, and the
license dates from last June.
Referring to the sale of cologne
spirits and fusil oil for pure liquor the
petition states:
II can no longer permit my name to
be connected with a business which
distributes such poisonous potions, as
there can be no doubt that many of the
cases where men and women have been
found dead have come to their deaths
through patronizing saloons selling the
vile connections under the guise of

COURT DECISION
IN MINING CASE
JUDGMENT IN FAVOR OF NOUN
TAIN COPPER COMPANY
Great Rejoicing at Redding and
Throughout Shasta county-Now
Active Operations Will
Be Resumed

The United States court of appeals
at San Francisco has just made public
an important decision in favor of the
Mountain Copper company of Shasta
county, Cal, reversing the decision Of
the lower courts and remanding the
cause back for dismissal of the bill,
and dissolving the injunction that was
issued in 1898 on petition, restraining
the Mountain Copper company from
operating it's smelling plant at Kes-
wick. No damages were sought. The
injunction was asked on the grounds
that the fumes and gases from the
smelter destroyed valuable government
timber and that the plant constituted
nuisance.
Defense of Company
The Mountain Copper company
maintained in it's defense before Judge
Morrow that the land which was being
ruined was of a granite character un-
fit for cultivation and devoid of valu
able timber. 1t was covered with
scrubby trees and brush of no COM
mercial value.
The company maintained, also, that
If it were prevented from smelling
copper ore in the manner now en-
ployed, it would be compelled to shut
down the plant, which represents an
investment of $6,000O0O and gives en-
ployment to 1000 men. This contention
was in measure upheld by Judges
Ross and Gilbert.
The decision reviews the evidence
and says that "in view of the facts
about which there seems to be no
question upon the record, can it be
doubted that the maximum injury that
can result to lands of the complainant
embraced by the bill will be but a
mere trifie in comparison to the loss
inflicted by the injunction in question
upon the appellant company and those
dependent upon and benefited by it?"
Dissolving the injunction does not
absolve the company from liability to
damages the smoke may cause. The
decision of the court says, in effect,
so the Mountain Copper company's
attorneys interpret, that the smelter is
not nuisance. 1t is free to operate
and the government still has recourse
for damages in a suit at law,
The decision is important in that It
frees all other smelters in Shasta
county from entanglements with the
government, except in the same man
ner.
1t is stated that the Balaklalla COM
pany, two million dollar concern.
the Mammoth company, and the After
thought, all big copper companies in
Shasta county, will install smoke con-
suming plants, each of which will cost
$100, 900, and that active operations will
be resumed throughout the rich copper
producing district without delay.

his able defense of the Grand Court,
without even employing a lawyer in

Fifteen new Courts and over nine
hundred members were made during

thousand members and what has
been accomplished along all lines is
simply astounding when compared
with older and stronger organiza-
