 WASHINGTON, Aug. %. = Samuel Gompcrs in an interview charged that the recent Van Cleave injunction pro ceedings against boycotts and publica. tion of unfair lists were instigated by the Manufacturers association, which, he said, recently decided to raise $1,. 100000 to crush organized labor. Mir. Gompers added:
 "The executive council of the Ameri. can Federation of Labor decided that the case to be met in the courts shall take on the broadest scope. The justi' fication or exercise of our rights sought to be enjoIned Is not illegal or unlaw. ful, and we will continue to assert them.
 "we know we are within our legal rights. and we propose to exercise them regardless of personal conse quences.

 WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-The con, viction is becoming strong here that the administration before long will carry out its threat to strike at ''cer, tain malefactors of great wealth" through criminal prosecutions that will probably result In prison sentences.
 Until recently the talk of criminal prosecutions for violation of the shers man antitrust act. rebating and like offenses has not been taken very seri. ously, but the declarations of Attorney General Bonapsrte, Secretary Taft and the president himself have raised the inquiry whether the administration has not evolved plans of pretty definite sort to begin criminal prosecutions of individuals to break up the bad trusts" Just where the first blow will fall 1t is impossible now to predict. 10 is said by officials fin position to know that the department of justice for months has been quietly gathering in- formation to be used in criminal prose cutions of individuals.
 The government has cases under the Sherman law against the Standard on company. the tobacco trust, the powder trust and various others. No surprise will be felt here If high personages in these concerns gre struck ct. The gov, ernment also Is probing into the smell ter and lumber trusts among other in- vestigations.

UNCLE HORACE SAYS RAIN.
"T'aint," Says Other Middletown
 Seer, He of Staddle Hill.

Middletown, Aug. 22.-Iust at present every one is interested in Uncle Horace Johnson's latest pro- phecy that there will be deluge from the 22nd to the 24th of the month. The Middle Haddam seer says there are likely to be severe clondbursts.
 Most farmers usually wink one eye when they hear a Johnsonian pro- phecy, but now, as a drowning man will grasp at a straw, they are pray ing that Horace may be right for once in his life.
 After all this encouragement per haps it isn't charitable to say that Horace's greatest rival Father" Richard Lamont, of the Lamont ob- servatory at Saddle Hill, says that there is no hope in sight Mir La. mont says that he wants rain es bad as a thirsty man for he, too, is a farmer. but he hasn't got the heart to say that it's going to rain when he knows that it isn't Outside of the fact that it is hoped that the Saddle Hill prophet may be mistaken, it Is interesting to wait and see which oi the two is the better guesser.

GROWING SIDEWALK
Arrests Made To-Day and More
 May Follow.

There is trouble brewing for South Main street people who insist upon encroaching on the nine foo. sidewalk measured of last fall from Exchange place to Grand street. This morning Officer John Brickel arrested Pasquale Renaldi for hay ing bootblack chair on the walk, and it is likely that others will be brought up with a short turn before night. The walk was measured some time ago by Officer Brickel. on order of Superintendent Beach, who wanted clear sidewalk nine feet wide. Everybody was apprized of the situation and all obeyed 1t for a time, but by degrees they kept get ting back to the old habits until finally things became as bad as ever, and then complains commenced 10
 reach the police from different sources. Some fault is found with the board of public works for grant ing petitions to maintain bootblack chairs in such places so long as the
 police are trying to keep them clear.
 so that in sll probability the city officials will get together on this
 matter, and Alderman Walkers con tention that the whole walk is none too wide for public use will be car
 ried out. The trouble is of long standing and on this account it id
 all the more difficult to put stop to | 1t. The same thing might be said
 with reference to some of the avn ings. They are too low and people
 are constantly finding fault about
 them, but 1t does not seem to
 amount to much.
 Later in the day the officer escort ed Pasquale Santopieko and Joe De-
 dona to the station. They own
 chairs that are said to project be- yond the rubicon established on South Main street and which Super
 intendent Beach is bound to main | tain.
 Commissioners Walker and Finn
 of the department of public works
 were in earnest conversation when a
 reporter of the Democrat informed
 them of what was going on and also gave them a hint regarding their re-
 sponsibility for the trouble. Both
 promptly denied the imputation and
 reminded the reporter of one or two
 cases that came up quite recently
 where applications to maintain
 stands on the walks have been de.
 nied and the petitioners given leave
 to withdraw.
 The parties taken to the station
 were released and unless the cases
 are settled out of court they will
 have hearing tomorrow morning
 Three or four merchants compiled
 with the order at the eleventh hour
 and thus avoided arrest.

 LONDON, Aug. 22.-The Rev. Theo- dore Wood. a distinguished naturalist and son of the more distinguished Rev. J. c. Wood, takes up the cudgels against President Roosevelt in the na- ture faking controversy. He says:
 "Air. Roosevelt may be an extremely able man, but the fact that he is presi- dent of the United States hardly quail fies him to deliver ex cathedra pro nouncements on questions of natural history"
 He selects Mir. Roosevelt's ridlculing the story of a woodchuck making a splint for it's broken leg and says that notwithstanding Mir.

came into the open by addressing him
self principally to the term "filibuster-
ers." which Mr.. Gallinser applied to
the Democratic senators who had un-
dertaken to defeat the measure.
First, Mr.. Carmack devoted himself
To the endorsement Of Webster's die
tionary as an authority on orthogra-
ply and definition. and said that II the
senate had any doubt that this work
was an authority he would bring II In
and ask that passages from II be read
at the desk.
After reading websters definition
OF "filibusterer" with It's varying used
synonyms. Mr.. Carmack said that the
remark OF Mr.. Gallinger has branded
him as a ''marauder. a pillager. y buc-
cancer. a sea robber. a freebooter and
a pirate upon the seas. In fact" he
said. Il have been accused OF almost
everything except the appendicitis. So
branded. | am 10 be retired from this
body and sent TO my home. for can
not defend myself by attacking the
character or the credibility OF the SEN
ator from New Hampshire. canno,
credit him truthfully. and therefore
cannot discredit him at ALL"
When he had spoken for about forty.
five minutes. with the obvious purpose
OF killing time. Mr.. Carmack paused.
looked at his watch and remarked:
well. see must be hurrying along. .
At this the senator's on the floor shout
ed their amusement.
To give Mr.. Carmack a rest. Mr.. Du-
bois asked to be permitted TO read from
a very interesting document on the
subject OF ship subsidy. and Mr.. Spoon
err protested that as Mr. Carmack was
In so great a hurry TO conclude, IL
would not be fair 10 interrupt him.
The Tennessee senator. however. said
he was sure that any contribution from
Mr.. Dubois would be valuable, and he
should be glad TO permit Il read and
incorporated In the body OF his re-
marks. Mr.. Dubois then read at
length. and when he had concluded a
very technical paragraph. TO which few
senators paid any attention. Mr.. Car
max asked that the last paragraph be
repeated. rs he regarded Il OF great
importance. Laughter followed. and
as Mr.. Dubois sat down Mr.. Gallinger
interrupted to reply. he said, to what
he thought had been an unwarrnatcd
attack upon him.
At this juncture n colloquy occurred
between Mr.. Gallinger and Mr. Car.
mack over the definition of the word
"filibusterer." as given by different
dictionaries. and the latter charged
that Mr.. Gallinger had simply be, \
trying to "filibuster." according to his
own definition OF the word.
Charging that the pending measure
was for the purpose OF footing the
treasury" Mr.. Carmack referred 20
the bill as voting n "subvention." and
Mr.. McLaurln asked the difference be-
tween subsidy" and "subyention." Mr..
Carmack answered: Subsidy by any
In answer to n question by Senator
Carter as 20 what. II any. dictionary Il
used In Tennessee. Mr.. Carmack re-
piled: Tennessee stands by the con-
stitution and webster's dictionary"
Messrs. Carmack and Frye had n
warm colloquy. after which both gen
slemen expressed great regret over the
incident.
