At this point of the hearing Commissioner
mcfarland stated that the Commissioners
are greatly interested in the matter. and
that to properly consider 1t they would be
greatly Obliged for any Information in writ
ing on the subject. He said the Commission
ers would like to have the names and adj
dresses of those who are INDUCING In the
practice Of renting public space.
The next speaker was John g. Miller, q
commission merchant at 927 Louisiana ave-
nue. He said he knew nothing Of the prac-
tice of subrenting the pavement privileges.
but was only interested in the question as
far as the rights of the commission men are
concerned. He said that instead Of reducing
their sidewalk privileges the Commissioners
should extend them.

chant on Louisiana avenue said that to
take away this sidewalk privilege would
wipe out the commission business on that
street. 1t Is necessary for these merchants
to have this space to receive, handle and

the goods could not be properly handled
inside.
The remarks Of J. T. D. Pyies. who owns
eleven stores in the District and conducts
a place at 94S Louisiana avenue, were par
ticularly interesting from the fact that
they dealt chiefly with the exorhitani rents,
as he termed them, charged for this public
space and how the rents aloong these two
streets have been doubled.

LEGAL War on Unions.

Legal war OF ONiCnSs
In the supreme court of the District
of Columbia James w Van Cleave Of
the National Association of Manufac-
turers began what is regarded as a
test legal battle with organized labor
when he asked for an Injunction
against the officers of the American
Federation of Labor and of numerous
affiliated organizations prohibiting
them from using the boycott and the
unfair list in their fight against firms
and individuals The papers were
filed at Washington in order that per
sonal service might be had upon a
large number of labor leaders who
were there attending a general con
ference
The injunction is asked on nine
points in the name of the Bucks Stove
and Range company Of st. Louis, OF
which Van Cleave is president. The
requested prohibitions are from con
spring to restrain and destroy the
business Of the plaintiff, from agree
ing or combining to interfere with
it, from boycotting or attempting or
threatening to boycott the plaintiff.
from printing or distributing through
the mails any copy of the American
Federationist which contains the name
of the plaintiff as being under boy
colt, from threatening or intimidating

as that of the woodcock which made

contrivance Of twigs and strings, and
adds that the latter story Is backed up
by afidavits. Nevertheless the, presi-
dent insists that it is as impossible
"as that, a Rocky mountain pack rat
can throw the diamond hitch" The
af1idavits brought forward by the ma

president, only because Of the curious

Of those making and believing them,
and he says that If these writer's
would really study the denizens OF

Of the Eddy fortune and some of the
beliefs Of the aged Science leader, espe-
cially as to malicious animal mag
netism." 1t was intimated that these
matters would be made the basis of
future action ON a different tack to
determine the mental condition of Mrs.
Eddy. In any case, it was regarded
as certain that the relatives would
contest her will. 1t had already been
decided that committee Of alienists
should examine Mrs. Eddy in her home
so that she would escape the strain
Of court appearance. Senator Chan
der said, however, that there would be
no advantage to the plaintiffs and that
there were sentimental reasons. Coun-
sci Streeter for the defense denied that
there had been any compromise and
urged that In all fairness the masters,
having gone so far, should render
decision. He said that the whole pro-
ceeding had been inst1gated by GER
tain newspaper as an attack on the
Christian Science faith, and now that
the charges had fallen fat the plain
lifts wished to get out of court. He
characterized it as an abject surrender.
Gienn's Peace Proposal.
/. North Cardinals fight with the
Southern railway over the new rate
law was transferred to New York
when testimony was heard before
master in chancery there appointed by
Judge Pritchard of the circuit court
to determine the issuance of a perma-
nent injunction, the temporary one be-
ing held in allegiance by agreement and
the railroad conforming to the law
pending decision by the United
States supreme court. In the mean
time Governor Glenn came to New
York and held a conference with A. P.
Thorn, counsel for the Southern, and
made two peace suggestions. One was
to stop taking testimony until the
higher courts have ruled, and the 9th
er was for the Southern to stop it's
suits and try the effect Of the new
law for limited period, and then II
1t we're shown that operation was at
loss they should appeal to the peo-
pie of the state to right the wrong.
While in New York Governor Glenn
said he did not think the time ripe for
southern man to be named by the
Democrats for the presidency.

the pubic es wnOIe."
The pre- dent went further and de-
fined his own personal attitude as fol
lows "Let me say that, as far as
am concerned and for the eighteen
months of my presidency that remain,
there will be no change in the policy
we have pursued, no let up in the effort
to secure the honest observance of the
law, for l regard this contest as one
to determine who shall rule this free
country, the people through their gov
ernmental agents or a few ruthless
and domineering men whose wealth
makes them peculiarly formidable, be-
cause they hide behind the breastworks
Of corporate organization" The presi-
dent tried to make it plain that he was
not objecting to honest profits or legit-
innate promoters and generous divi-
bends for capital employed in founding
pr continuing honest business ven
lures" On the contrary, his aim was
to help every honest man and every
honest corporation, but for those who
offended against the law he wanted
additional legislation to provide for
criminal action and for punishment by
Imprisonment as well as by fine.
In this connection he pointed out the
difficulty of successful criminal actions,
because the law Is construed in favor
Of the defendant and because juries
are generally disposed to excuse Off
Gals of corporations for PRACTICES com
mon in the business community while
furnishing the corporation for proved
illegalities He said the idea prevailed
that unless man can be proved guilty
Of some particular crime he shall be
counted a good citizen, no matter how
Infamous his life or how pernicfous his
doctrines may have been. This view,
he said, was announced now by
group Of predatory capitalists and now
by group Of anarchistic agitators
whenever a special champion Of their
class is acquitted Of some specific
crime As to what he had said about
desirable and undesirable citizens IRE
ferring to the Hartman letter and the
comparison to Haywood, Meyer and
Debs) he declared emphatically: 'The
same remains true as when the words
were spoken. I stand pat" In order
to carry out his present line of action,
the president again urged national
incorporation law and for the benefit
of wageworkers a national employers
liability law. He assailed the pluto
cratic type of society and reiterated his
belief in the wisdom and justice of the
income and Inheritance taxes. Refer
ring to the corporations which are COM
mon carriers, he reminded the public
again that they could be completely
controlled BY the government through
the exercise of the interstate COM
merce and post road clauses of the con-
stitution.

Munsey on Sunday Papers.
Frank A. Munsey, the publisher, in
Paris interview discusses the competi-
ton between the magazines and Sun
day newspapers ia the United States
and predicts that the price Of the latter
will be raised to 10 cents in the near
future. He says that the Sunday news
paper will be made SO good that it will
sell at 10 cents instead of cents Up
to the present he says the magazines
have not suffered setback in circula-
don and proves the statement by say
ing that the combined circulation of
magazines is still on the increase, hav-

Plat Replies to Critics. 49,. ...
Senator Plat as president of the
United States Express company in a
circular to stockholders shows that the
earnings and income for the first half
Of the present year have fallen off
compared with the first half of the pre-
ceding year. The net income from all
sources for 1907 he estimates at per
cent. This statement is regarded as an
answer to the demands of minority
stockholders for division Of surplus
and their charge that the Platt family
and their associates have juggled the
books to hide the profits from owners
Of stock. The minority faction alleges
that rival companies have been repre-
sented on the board and that business
has been diverted to competitors. A
formal demand has been made for re-
form in the management of the COM

Old Grocery Firm Fails
The well known New York grocery
firm Of E. c. Hazard & Co, which for
nearly half century has been one of
the leading wholesale houses of the
country, was forced into involuntary
bankruptcy by the petition of three
claimants for a comparatively. small
amount, but which was said to be part
Of liabilities aggregating $3.50 900.
Against the debts, however, stand
100000 assets, and it was explained
by the management that this particular
EN- barrassment was due directly to the
stringency in the money market and
the curtailing of credit.
