American Federation Of Labor
Loses on Every Point But
One in Buck Suit
LEAVES NO ROOM FOR DOUBT
Court Declares There 10 No Need OF
Making Ruling Specific as It Affected
Men Who Knew Their Rights, In
Z cludins Mr.. Gompers-Deeres Not
Modified.

washington, Dec. 1S-After hearing
arguments on the various points IN tne
case, Justice Gould, Of the equity
court, today signed decree tempor-
ariN restraining and enjoining the
American Federation of Labor, Its Of
fieers and all others from interfering
with the business Of the Buck stove
and Range Company, and from de-
claring or threatening any boycott
against it. All attempts of counsel
for the federation to modify the de-
cree failed except in one minor par
ticular.
Justice Gould took occasion to dwell
upon the question Of jurisdiction. He
said there would be no attempt made
by the court to assume jurisdiction be-
yond the confines of the District OF
Columbia, but that it's order was oper-
ative upon all persons defendant who
are within the District of Columbia.
An act, he said, committed by an
agent or associate of one of these
defendants outside the District OF
Columbia could be held as the act OF
person with. in the district so order
ing it, and subject such person to the
punitive, power Of the court. He be-
lieved the issue would be very broad
and that he need not be too specific.
There was. he said, no likelihood of
the order being misunderstood because
he was not enjoining ignorant men, but
men who knew their rights and knew
the law. Mr.. Gompers, he said, was
one Of these.

North Attleboro, Mass. Dec. 1S.-
The jewelers. National bank, whose
vice president and cashier. Frederick
E. Sergeant, was found dead in bath
tub last night, failed to open it's doors
today. A notice posted on the door
stated that the bank would remain

Altho President Albert II. Wiggin,
Of the bank, who is in New York City,
sent instructions from that city last
night that the institution would open
for business as usual today. the direc-
tors at an early meeting today voted
to keep the bank closed until thor
.ough examination Of its books had
been made. Bank Examiners Ever ana
Carrier arrived here early today and at
once began an investigation.
1t is expected President Wiggin, who
is also vice president of the Chase Ma
tional bank Of New York, will arrive
here some time today. AS most of the
manufacturing jewelers. in the town
and in Attleboro have been doing BUS
mess with the jewelers. National
Bank, it is expected that there Will be
some difficulty in making up the pay
rolls of the factories If the bank re-
mains closed.
According to the last statement, the
bank capital was 100000; surplus and
undivided profits $4,000; deposits, ST.

reached this morning between counsel
for the Hartman and Fish interests
in the Illinois Central litigation that
the annual meeting scheduled for to-
day be postponed until tomorrow. It;

half Of Fish is concluded.
Attorneys for Hartman will close
the hearing. 1t is not believed possi-
BILE that they will finish before Thurs
day evening at the earliest. Final ac-
ton on the injunction obtained by
Fish is hardly expected until after the
holidays.
After it had been decided that no
action save immediate adjournment
would be taken at the annual meeting
when called. Judge Ball Indicated to
the attorneys that he considered it adj
visable that some agreement should be
reached in order, that the hearing on
the injunction might be continued
without interruption. 1t was then
agreed that the hearing of all argu-s
ments should govern until tomorrow
morning and that counsel would use
the remainder Of today in an effort to
reach an agreement as to the date on
which the meeting should be con-s
yened.

Of Columbia Heights, who was robbed
Of $65 and gold watch and chain
several weeks ago, suffered severe
shock today when the amount OF
money taken from him was returned
by mail, with polite and apologetic
letter from the robber.
The letter, which is well written and
is signed "a. Highwayman," explains
that the writer is not professional
crook, but was impelled to rob Mr..
Even by an urgent need for money.
Mr. Highwayman says that his finan-
cial crisis is past now, and 1t gives
him pleasure to return to Mr.. Even
the amount Of the forced loan. He says
he has retained the watch for the rea-s
son that 1t would not be so easy to
restore that without danger of detec-
tion and 1t is of no great value, and
1t will serve him nicely as souvenir
of the adventure.

Spokane, Wash, Dec. 1S.-The first
automobile passenger and freight
stage line in the Pacific northwest will
be in operation the middle of January,

forty miles, the trip being covered in
four hours. The line will operate two
forty horse power cars, each carrying
twelve passengers, and a four ton
freight truck. Round trip will be made
every two days, thus giving daily ser
vice in both directions. This arrange
ment will cut the time of the trip from
thirty hours to seven and half hours,
and make a route 147 miles shorter
than at present. The present route
from Metaline to Colville, by boat and
rail is 1877 miles, while over the auto
mobile stage line, operating over a
newly constructed county road it is
forty miles. The autos will also carry

witness for the government, was on
the stand during Banker John r.

money for his personal enterprises, he
issued bonds, bought them at his own
