JUDGMENT REVERSED.
Telegraph Company Absolved From
Liability for Word in Message.

Liability Tor Word In message.
The Judgment obtained by Halstead &
Co about year ago for So, 1885 against
the Postal Telegraph Company for
error in the transmission of message,
which attracted considerable notice at the
time in the press, was reversed yesterday
by the appellate division OF the supreme
court of New York, the court holding that
the person receiving a telegram is bound
by the terms and conditions the same as
the person sending the telegram is bound.
The court approved a decision of the su
preme court of Massachusetts in similar
case. where that court said:
There is nothing in this regulation
which tends to embarraSS or hinder the
free use of the telegraph or to impose on
ceive messages any onerouS or imprac-
tica BILE duty
IF the defendant In the case at bar had
been obliged to accept and transmit the
message, without regula tons. then 1t would
assume its common law obligations. but
having the right to make regulations, and
being under no obligation to accept the
message for transmission. unless the par
ties interested agreed to abide by such rea-
soma BILE regulations, and 1t appearing that
the sender did sign the blank provided by
the company. and which contained the linn
itations above mentioned, it must be pre-
sumed that the company undertook the
duty only thus limited by it's reasonable
regulations. and whether the action Is
deemed to rest upon the contract of the
sender. or to result from a breach of duty
the limitation upon the amount of damages
to be recovered being reasonable. the plain
tin has no standing to maintain this &C
ton unless he is the real principal in the
transaction. and then only to the extent Of
the amount paid for the transmission OF
the message

REGENT DISCLOSURE MADE
CLAUSE IN SUNDRY CIVIL BILL
LIKELY TO GIVE TROUBLE.
Provision for Federal and District
Control of Electric Lighting.
Under Investigation.

1t has been discovered that there Is pro-
vision in the sundry civil bill which empow-
ers the Secretary of the Treasury to deter
mine whether or not the United States and
District governments shall install their own
electric plants for lighting their respective
buildings or whether they should secure theil
power from other sources. The wording of
the item makes 1t evident that the lowest
possible cost is to be considered by the Sec
rotary in this connection.
That part of the sundry civil bill which
affects the light and power propositions of
the federal and municipal governments Is
said to have been injected into the bill to-
ward the end of the last session and with
out the knowledge of the District Commits
sioners and other government officials. 1t is
known Know. as article . and is under the caption
The lsthmian Canal Its provisions
threaten to make some unlocked for
changes and cause some inconvenience The
Secretary of the Treasury has appointed a
special committee. composed of officials rep
reSentlng the various departments of the
executive and municipal governments to
make Investigations The District govern
ment is represented this committee by
Walter c. Allen, electrical engineer of the
District.
According to Commissioner Macfarland,
who has supervision of the electrical de-
partment of the District, it will be the duty
Oh thls committee 10 examine into the cleo
trlcal plants Of the various departments of
the two governments and the cost of operat-
Ing them. and report upon the same to the
secretary OF the Treasury. 1t will be en-
braced in their reports whether not the
necessary electric current cannot be OBJ
tanned at less cost by procuring it than
by producing it, When each department,
which at present has its own electric plant,
Is reported upon by this committee, 1t will
be the duty of the Secretary of the Treasury
to say whether the plant Is to be continued
or whether the electric power Is to be pur-
chased from outside plants In every case
the keynote will be economy.
This provision in the sundry civil bill as II
stands at present has a tendency to affect
the plans for the new municipal building
which is rapidly nearly completion. and for
which provision has been made for its own
electric plant. The new sewage pumping
station, practically completed, is likely to
be affected. Its plans call for an elaborate
self-Gghting plant. The Mckinley and
Armstrong Manual Training Schools are
also equipped with electric plants.

LOCAL LABOR LOCKOUT
RESULT OF MEETINGS THAT
WERE HELD LAST. EVENING.

AS result of the meetings Of the En-
ployers' Association and the organization
of master builders lasts night there were
some interesting developments today in the
local labor lockout situation. Extra efforts
were made this morning to secure the serv-
ices of as many non-union plasterers as
possible and the statement was made that
Harry WardTnan. the builder. has secured
the services of thirty non-union plasterers
to take the places Of the union men he
locked out by request Of the board of gov
ernors of the Employers Association. 1t
was also said that Middaugh & Shannon
and Richardson & Burgess are employing
plasterers who are not affiliated with Or
ganzed labor.
Being asked as to whether there would
to take the places Of the locked-out union
lists, a member of one of the most extensive
building companies in the District said to-
day:
getting all the workmen we need. and it
is the opinion Of the builders that in few
days the full volume Of building work will
be in operation as 1t was before this trou-
BILE began
At the session Of the Employers Associa-
ton last night at 1881 street the matter
Of ways and means Of continuing the lock-
out was given consideration and plans for
the immediate future in cooperation with
the Master Builders Association were
adopted. The meeting was largely attended,
and it is said that several out-of-town
builders were present and very much in
terested tn the proceedings.
No Need Of strikebreakers.
A member of the association denied the
report that Farley. the strikebreaker, is in
Washington and in touch with the local
employers. One Of the builders declared,
with emphasis:
I'VE don't need the services Of profess
sional strikebreakers. We can get all the
Workmen we need without them"
The meeting of the Master Builders As
ISOLATION was the first that has been held
since the two organizations Of master build
ers were amalgamated, and one of the
members said the session last night was
very much in the nature OF 1oll1hcatlon
over the union of the two bodies. Reports
were received to the effect that number
of non union mechanics will be put to
work on the unfinished construction work
in the District during the present week.
Members of the association are said to
have tacitly admitted that the resignation
of James L. Parsons as a member of the
Master Builders Association Qncorporated)
was accepted. MIR. Parsons. when the
lockout was declared, refused to lay off
the men working on the new municipal
building. He has during the entire contro-
versy claimed that the journeymen were
right in their contentious. 1t was stated
that several applications for membership
in the Master Builders Association had
been received.
1t is claimed by labor leaders that the
climax of the lockout has been reached and
that not more than ninety workmen are
out of employment as a result Of the shut
down. 1t was also said that more than
two-thirds Of the locked out men have
secured work on other jobs.
