ing him subject to ~eXtraditiOn to Tex
as, where he is under Indictment on

May Cut Price in Books.
The supreme court decided three
important copyright cases, the opin-
ions being handed down by Justice
Day. The first decision was in the
case of the Bobbs-Merrill Company
VS.. r. H. Macy & Co. In this case the
court dealt with the question whether
the sale by a retail dealer of a copy
righted book below the price fixed by
the publishers is an infringement Of
copyright. The Bobbs-Merrill compa-
ny published a novel and stipulated
in a printed notice that it should not
be sold fortress than 81 a copy. The
house of Macy sold the work for SO
cents, and suit was brought in the cir
cult court for the southern district of
New York, but the bill was dismissed.
A like result followed when the ase
was appealed to the circuit court of
appeals, and yesterdays decision vas
in the same line.
The right of publishers 10 regulate
the price at which their books may
be sold by retailers and jobbers was
also involved in the two cases of
Charles Scribner's Sons VS.. Isador &
Nathan Straus, doing business as r.
H. Macy & Co, all Of New York,
which were decided against the for
mer concern.

CURRENCY MEASURE IS PASSED
Northumberland Bill Goes Through
Senate-ColIapse of Filibuster :
Is Sudden.

Washington, June 2.-Just ten min
utes before the hands of the big round
clocks in the chambers of the two
houses of congress pointed to the
hour of midnight Saturday, the first
session of the SiXtieth congress came
to a close.
In the house the closing hours were
characterized by singing of songs by
Republicans In honor of Speaker Can.
non and by Democrats in tho interest
Of William j. Bryan.
Made Memorable by Filibuster.
The last days of the senate will be
memorable on account of the filibus.
ter of Messrs. La Toilette, Stone and
Gore against the emergency currency
bill.
At 4:30 O'Clock the senate adopted
the report Of the conferees of the two

Senator Gore. the blind orator from
Oklahoma, was left on guard through
out the afternoon. Senator Stone was
to follow him with a speech of about
an hours duration, and Senator La
at 6 o'clock to talk as long as his
physical endurance would permit.
When Senator Gore concluded his
speech he sat down. Doubtless he
expected that Senator Stone would be
in waiting, ready to take the floor, but
Senator Stone was reclining on a
sofa in the cloak room.

When the Oklahoma senator con
Guided his speech the vice president
put the question to the senate whether
the conference report on the curren-
cy bill should be adopted. The roll

to give him opportunity for continued
discussion. He received no encour-
agement. When he appealed from a
decision by Vice President Fairbanks
on a question of order only nine SEN
ators supported him.
Collapse Is Sudden.
The result came Unexpectedly soon.
but not until the senate had been we'll
worn out by a filibuster which, while
not largely supported. made up in in
tensity what it lacked in numbers.
The obstructive tactics were begun
by Senator La Toilette when the re-
port was taken up by the senate Fri
day; it was prosecuted by him all
Friday night and was continued Sat
urday by Senators Stone and Gore.
Mr.. La Toilette broke the record as a
long distance speaker; Mr.. Stone held
the floor for six hours and a half, al
most without Interruption, and Mr..
Gore spoke for something more than
two hours.
La Toilette spoke eighteen hours
and forty-three minutes.
