NO GROUND FOR SUIT.
Supreme Court Decision Is Against
 Addicks and Hallberg.

Washington, January S.-Justice McKenna today delivered the opinion of the supreme court of the United States in the case of J. Edward Ad- dicks and A. w. 4alliberg vs. the Cobre Grande Copper company favor ably to the company. The case grew out of the purchase of the Cobre Cop per company's mine in Sonora, Mex ieo, by the Green Consolidated Copper company. Addicks and Halliberg are stockholders in tic Cobre company and they sought by injunction to re strain the transfer of the property and of the funds of the company on deposit in bank in Phoenix, Ariz.
 They made the charge that the prop erty which they represented to be worth $5,000,000 was being disposed of for an inadequate price, and, fur ther, that the officers of the Cobre company had been induced by motives of personal gain to sacrifice the prop erty. They also asked for a receiver, and the Arizona courts holding that this was the only point before them for consideration, decided against Addicks and Halliberg The supreme court affirmed the finding on the ground that the complainants had no ground for their suit.

OUTSIDE MEN TO BE
 HIRED AT RANDOM
Civil Service Rules Will Not Apply In This Class of Elm
 ployes.

Washington January S.-rhe civil ser vice rules and regulations will not here after apply so far as the isthmian canal commission is concerned to the employ ment of what is termed in d general way "outside man." that is, traelxlayers, skilled laborers, foremen, etc To other classes of employees, stenographers, clerks, bookkeepers and other inside" men the civil service rules will continue to ap- ply.
 This determination was reached today at a conference at the White House in which beside the President, Secretary Taft, Chairman Shonts of the isthmian canal commission, John r. Stevens chief engineer of the canal and Civil Service Commissioner Cooley were the partlcl- pants.
 For a year there has been a good deal of friction between the canal comnis- sion and the civil service commission as to the application of the civil service law as to regulation of the employees of canal construction work. Both Chairman Shonts and Chief Engineer Stevens main tained that they ought to have authority to employ men whom they needed, with out reference to the civil service rules In a measure they have exercised that au- thority notwithstanding the protests of the civil service commission.
 Last week a direct difference arose be- tween the two commissions that appeared to be likely to result in an embarrassing condition of affairs. The conference to- day was by direction of the President.
 Secretary Taft announced the eonclu- sions reached and added that they were quite satisfactory to Commissioner Cooley as well as to the canal officials.
