TO FIGHT MAIL ORDERS
Half a Million Retailers Banded To-
gether for That Purpose.

Chicago, July 18.-War has been de-
clared on the catalogue houses of Chi
cago and other cities by the 100000 re-
tail merchants of the west. In one of
the most striking economic movements
this country ever has known, the small
dealers are fighting. as they say, for
their lives. The mammoth institutions,
employing thousands of workers, doing
their business entirely through the
medium of their bulky catalogues,
spending no money in the communities
whence they derive annually millions of
dollars of patronage are forcing In
creasing numbers of home merchants to
the wall, and so their opponents claim,
are making commercial graveyards of
once prosperous towns In this life or
death struggle, jobbers and manufac-
turers also are involved with the retail
merchants.
An organized attack on the catalogue
institutions is to be made by the Home
Trade League of America, which has
existed for several months in Chicago,
largely as publicity bureau, but which
is shortly to incorporate and institute
a more systematic and aggressive cam
paign against the catalogue houses
through a board of 81 managers, with
vice president and an advisory commit
tee of ten members from each state.
The backbone of the league is form
ed of commercial associations, national,
state and local in character.
In Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Michi-
gan, Kansas, and Minnesota, the Off
GERS of association in scores of cities
are in constant correspondence with the
league which will continue to have its
national headquarters in this city OF
ficers of the league will be selected from
the most aggressive of the leaders OF
these associations of business. Alfred
c. Clark is manager of the league.

other did. but would have exploded.
Not a man in the turret would have
been left alive. whatever other dam
age might have been done. That man
gave his life for others.
Il am told President Roosevelt has
inquired about a man that gave his
life in closing the shutter from the
ammunition room to save the ship
from blowing up. 1t would be very
wrong to have story like that go out
because 1 can not find that there is
any foundation for it. or need for a
man to make any attempt to do any
thing of the sort. But if the president
wants heroism let him look up this
brave man who stood by his gun to
save the rest.

Telegraph Strikers and Employers Ex-
press Satisfaction Over Situation.

San Francisco, July 1S-There is very
little change in the telegraph strike sit

have the threat of a general strike

still declare they are confident of win

The attitude of the companies has not
changed since the strike began. As

hands and declared: There is no strike
so far as We are concerned"
Il expect to leave Oakland within the
next 48 hours for Chicago" said Presi-
dent Small of the telegraphers' union,
where I will hold a conference with
prominent leaders on Tuesday next and
recommended that our executive board
meet in that city on that day. The
strike in San Francisco and Oakland
will continue. The fact of the matter
is there are not enough telegraph OPP
orators 20 fill the positions and there
is no worry about strike breakers"

ITS 4 LIVING LABORER
IS SUING WHITEHOUSE

Catalina Mejea is not a widow su-
ing for damages for the death of her
husband, as stated yesterday on oral
information received when the sum-
mons was out for service. Plaintiff
is Japanese laborer who was in
jured by the caving in of earth while
he was working at the Nuuanu dam,
and he sues L. NJ. Whitehouse, con-
tractor. for $4,000 damages on ac-
count of his injuries.
He says his left thigh bone was
broken and he became unable to
work since July 80, the day of the
accident, and will remain unfit to at
tend to his ordinary employment for
long time to come. His liability
for medical attendance on account of
the injury is $127.50 and the wages
lost up to date of suit amounts to
$500. While at work his pay was six
teen cents an hour.
1t is set forth that the defendant
in his contract with the Territory to
construct a dam and reservoir in
Nuuanu Valley, undertook that dur
ing the progress of the work he
should provide such precautions as
might be necessary for the preven-
ton of accidents TO life and property.
and should assume the responsibility
of all damages or costs resulting
therefrom. Complainant says he was
not employed by defendant to do
dangerous work, and he had not been
warned by the defendant or any per-
son. when he was set to excavating
earth from beneath an overhangins
bank. that he was working in a dan
gerous position. While he was so en-
gagged, in the exercise of due care,
the overhanging bank. through the
negligence of defendant. fell upon him.

stated to Chief Taylor that he had
never had in his possession any such
