parachute was only a hundred feet

Woods legs. The aeronaut struggled
frantically though Intellectually to free
himself and with his limbs still bound
by the flag, plunged into the river. He
rose to the surface aud cried for help,
but before the terror.strickeu specta-
tors could lend their aid Wood sank

COPYRIGHTED BOOKS
May Be Sold by Retailers Below the
Price Fixed by the Publisher.

Washington, juno 2.-The supreme
court Of the United States decided
three important copyright cases, the
opinions being handed down by JUS
tice Day. The first decision was in
the case of the Bobbs-Merrill compa-
ny VS.. r. H. Macy & Company and
Isidor & n. Straus, the decision being
in faver of Macy & Company.
In this case the court dealt with the
question whether the sale by a retail
dealer of a copyrighted book below
the price fixed by the publishers is
hn infringement of copyright. The
Bobbs-Merrill company published
novel and stipulated in a printed no.
tice that it should not be sold for less
than 81 per copy The house of Macy
& Company sold the work for SO cents,
and suit was brought accordingly in
the circuit court of the United States
for the Southern district of New York,
but the bill was dismissed.
A like result followed when the case
was appealed to the circuit court Of
appeals and the decision was in the
same line. The suit was based on the
theory that the right to dispose of a
copyrighted work gives the owner the
right to place restrictions on its sale.
The right of publishers to regulate
the prices at which their books may
be sold by booksellers and jobbers al
so was involved in the two cases of
Charles Scribner's Sons VS.. lsidor &
n. Straus, doing business as Macy &
Company, all of New York, which was
against the former concern.
The suits were brought by the
Scribners as representative of the
American Publishers association, and
they sought in the first of them to en-
join the defendants from selling their
copyrighted books at prices below
those fixed by the association and
from buying any such publications
from any one who is not a member of
the association, on the ground that
such a course is on infringement of
copyright. In the second case the al
legation was that Macy G. Co. had
sought to induce other dealers to vio-
late their contracts with the publish
ers.
The fact was brought out that the
Publishers association requires firms
dealing in their copyrighted books to
enter into a contract to maintain fixed
prices for a year and not to sell to
any one who would cut prices. The
circuit court of appeals decided against
the publishers in both instances, hold
ing that the sellers had not agreed not
to cut prices and there was no evil
dence OF an effort to influence others.

Talk of Sherman For Second Place,


Congressman James S. Sherman re-
turned from Washington to his home
in Utica on Friday Asked concerning
the talk of his nomination for vice
president on the Republican ticket,
Mr. Sherman said:
"The constitution wisely, in my
judgment, provides that the president
and vice president must not be resi-
dents of the same state. New York
has candidate for president in the
person of Governor Hughes. His can
didacy has met with popular ap-
proval throughout the state and from
the moment when Mr.. Roosevelt was
eliminated as a possibility have been
most heartily in accord with that can.
didacy myself.
we must go to Chicago determined
70 exert our best efforts for the nom-
ination of Governor Hughes If those
efforts are not aaviling and then New
York desires to present candidate
for vice president ii would be entirely
fit and proper for her to do so.
81 have always felt that the two
Nshest offices in the gift of the Ameri-
can, people ought to seek the men
'sther than that the men should seek
either of them. OF course cannot
but be pleased with the suggestion
that has been made in various quar-.
ters that my nomination would be a
proper one and popular one, but so
far as being candidate for the nom.
ination Of vice president, for the rea-
sons / have assigned, | have no
thought Of announcing myself"
