Fake Advertising,

One of those travelling fake adver-
Using ducks struck Canton last week
and proceeded to secure a lot of high
priced advertising from a number of
Canton business men to run in a cat
house supplement- which he called a
'sbuy at home edition." The supple
ment was half catalog house matter,
part for Sioux City jObbers and the
Canton merchants paid good money
for practically nothing. The cat
houses are advertising under this sys-
tenn of ABUSE because they can get be-
fore the people in this way at a small
expense by the use Of a fake agent
who travels around the country and
solicits ads from business men at
three times the price asked by home
papers and as a rule you will find ads
from men in these fake editions that
never patronize home papers. 1t is
this system that kills a town and
forces people to %patronize the cat
houses.
This advertising fake came to see
the LEADER about running his dis
guised cat house supplement- through
the LEADER by paying us a small sum
Informed that we didn't do that kind
of fake advertising. He found another
channel for the stun.
The cat houses heretofore have
sought publicity through their cata-
logue system but find that abuse, in a
general way, brings them into the
timelight and people who read of
their system and style Of doing bust
ness will p~atronize them much the
same as the boy who bucks the slot
machine. The picture of the s.little
hog'' in front of the sbig hog'' is not
very complimentary to the home mer-
chant and the home merchant, many
of them, refuse to advertise and thus
give the "big hog" a free field.
Men who hardly eve patronize a
home paper are the first to p~atronize
the faker when he comes around.

STRIKERS ACTIVE
New York Longshoremen Are Endeavoring 10 Keep New
 Men Away From Job.

New York, May 14.-The long shoremen's strike shows no impor- tant change. Both sides are reso- lute and each assert that the other is losing ground. Some attempts have been made toward arbitration, but these efforts have not been sanc- toned by either the transatlantic steamship companies or the strikers and they have been met with dis couragement at the outset.
 Persistent work is being done by the strikers to persuade the men em- ployed on the barges which supply the liners with coal to quit work. This would be the most telling stroke against the companies the strikers could make. As it is, the strikers made a distinct gain yester- day in getting the grain handlers at the forty or more elevators on the New Jersey harbor front to strike in sympathy with them. This means that the shipment of grain from this port will be greatly retarded. But the coal handlers insist that nothing will induce them to strike.
 Nearly 300 strike breakers were brought from Philadelphia to-day and put to work on the American and Red Star lines docks.

Russian May Day.

St Petersburg, May 14.-The work men of St Petersburg generally to- day celebrated the Russian May day with one days strike, most of the factories closing entirely and others suspending business at noon. Only the governmental works were open.
 The authorities had announced that a cessation of work there would be punished by general lockout, but the workmen voted to give their days earnings to the fund for idle workmen. The strike also affected many of the smaller stores, street car service was suspended. on several of the lines and most of the news papers announced the suspension of their afternoon or Wednesday edi- tions owing to the strike of their competitors. No disorders have been reported thus far. The few districts in regard to which the authorities were apprehensive were patrolled by infantry and cavalry and forces of troops were held in readiness for emergencies elsewhere.
 A number of agitators were ar rested, among them being M. Izmail- of, a social democratic member of parliament, who was taken into GUS tody while organizing strike in the Warsaw railway shops. He was re- leased when his identity was esta- lished.

TRUSTEE O'NEILL's CASE.
He Wants More Property Accounted
 For in the Kilduff Affair.

Judge Edwin B. Gager this after noon began the hearing of the suit of F. B. O'Neill, trustee, against B. c. Kilduff ct ux. The purpose of the suit Is to have deeds to certain pieces of property set aside on the claim that they should have gone into the bankrupt estate of the de- fendant and be distributed for the benefit of the creditors.
 Edward McGrath testified that the house and lot owned by the defend- ant in 1902 on State street was worth then $8,000 and at present is worth $10,000. The second piece. known as the Jones-Kilduff proper ty, on South Main street, is worth to-day s25,000, and in. 1902 was worth about $23,000.
 The estimation placed by Charles J. Pierpont on each piece was $1,000 more, while in the opinion of Martin J. McEvoy, a member of the board of assessors, the State street proper ty is worth to-day $7,S00 and the South Main street piece $23,000.
 The evidence is mostly documen- tary and deals with the affairs of the firm of E. c. Kilduff & Go pre- vious to the retirement of the con- cern from business.

Edward J. Donahue, commissioner on the board of charities. was as saulted this afternoon In his store at S5S Bank street hy Harry s. Bowman of New York. who Is the agent for John ]. Bagley < Co. of New York. Bowman was arrested on the charge of assault and will be prosecuted in the city court tomorrow morning as the commissioner is determined t0 push the case. Bowman was in the store on business this afternoon, out as Eddie had other matters to at- tend to at the time. he told the agent t0 call around his evening when he could talk things over. Bowman evi- dently did not like the idea for It is said that he immediately started to tell the ex-balifT what he thought of him and ended his denunciatiOn by pushing the commissioners head through one of the show cases.
 The commissioner though his head was cut followed Bowman out of the store and had officer Martin F. Mccre arrest him
 Donahue has thrpe witnesses who saw the assault and expects to make It warm for the accused in court to- morrow.

KINDREGAN MONEY.
Brother and Nephew Appear at Pro-
 bate Court and Claim It.

Unless an heir to the estate of the late Joseph Kindregan islocated pret- ty soon the state will step in and try to get possession of his property. A letter to that effect was received to- day by James J. Cassin, clerk of the probate court. from Marcus Holcomb, attorney general.
 It Is very probable however, that the state may not get a slice of the property, for yesterday afternoon a man about 50 years of age accom- panied by his son, aged about 30 and Attorney Frank w. Kenna of New Haven entered the court room and filed an application for the ap- pointment of an administrator on the estate. The man said his name was John Thomas Kindregan and that he Is a nephew of the late Jo- seph Kindregan. He claimed to be son of Thomas Kindregan. broth CT of Joseph. and that his father died some years ago in the west. Judge George H. Cowell. who was acquaint- ed with the deceased Kindregan for over 25 years. stated to-day that some time ago the old man admitted having a brother named Thomas who ran a restaurant ih the vicinity of Center and Duane streets, New York city. and that years ago he went west in quest of gold and died there. This seems to be all that is known of the old mans relations. Of late years he used not to refer to them at all and 1t was generally supposed he had no heirs.
 There was a rumor to-day that would lead one to infer the old man expected to live many years. He had calculated upon marrying. Al woman whose name may be men, tioned fin the probate proceedings had accepted him and preparations were made to get house in order when physical weaknesses seized the old man and stopped the proceedings.

CHECKERS GETTING TIRED.
Hard to Work With Men Who Don't
 Speak English.

The situation because of the strike remained unchanged to-day, and there was nothing in evidence which would lead one to believe that the men now working are making much teadway. Indeed, the outlook at the Naugatuck house this morning was anything but good. and the em- ployes were not at all encouraged at the manner in which the freight con- tinues to pile up. 1t was rumored this morning that the checkers at the Naugatuck house have grown tired of their jobs and are on the verge of quitting. They find 1t no sinecure to make a crowd of for eigners understand them and to-day 1t is said they declared they would quit if conditions did not improve. The warm weather to-day had a bad effect upon the truckers, for they seemed lifeless and did not exert themselves.
 Though many are of the opinion that conditions would improve ma terially with the coming of MT Leary. still he would in all probability find almost as much difficulty striving to relieve the congested conditions with the men on hand.
 The men at the Naugatuck house would need a ten acre lot to handle the regular number of cars If they worked as they have since they took the positions of the strikers.
