CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, Feb. 3.-The wheat mar

prices fuctuating through a range of

This practically settled the matter for
adjournment until tomorrow morning
as Mr. kalisch III mat io had sHCh
a large number of witnesses Tor the
defense that the trial wouid last seven
or eight days longer, unless he had an
opportunity to weed out his witnesses,
and he would be glad TO get that p
portunity by adjournment, as it would
really save several days.
The prosecution insisted that the de-
tense be opened.
Mr.. Kalisch agreed to do this along
the lines suggested several days 6
in THE STAR, namely. a fat denial of
the charges, in the course of stating
which he sail some sharp things and
wound up with the assertion that the
whole trouble was due to party strife
and ambitions. tc which Cordially fell

This defendant began Mr.. kalisch,

~nonfeasance and the other for NAL

1--WE will rely entirely upon the first
count" intcrposed MI. Young.
Il am glad of it," Mr.. Kalisch said,
"and the only question before this jury
then will be whether this defendant is
guilty of -nonfeasance. which is the will
full failure of Il person upon whom the
law imposes a duty to perform h a
duty, that is a wilful negligence of

Now, this defense will be tina there
were no such duties imposed upon Cor
bally. We will show you that in every
case where he was granted a warrant
and told to aid a place he did 1t.
THE duties now thrown upon CORDIALLY
were assigned to the patrolmen on the

to the captain and the captain to the

Mr.. Kalisch, "as to these charges with

GOMPERS OPPOSES
NEWSPAPER BOYCOTT

WASHINGTON, ID. c., June g.
President Samuel Gompers of the
American Federation of Labor, has
come out squarely against the boy
colt of a newspaper by union labor
because of it's utterances adverse to
labor's cause or its patronage by
non-union advertisers. In a letter to
the Union County Trades Council of
Elizabeth, N. j., which has attempted
to boycott an Elizabeth paper, Mr..
Gompers says:
'Whether newspaper publishes
an article, piece of news, an ad-
vertisement or an editorial bitterly
antagonistic to organized labor, Or
ganized labor cannot afford to place
a boycott upon that publication. We
demand free speech and free press
for ourselves and we resent any in
vasion of that right, no matter by
whom proposed, and what we ask for
ourselves in the form of free speech
and a free press must be accorded to
every one, no matter how hostile he
may be to our great movement.

CANNOT CONVICT.
Jury Refuses to Convict Cigar Store
Men for Selling Goods on
Sunday.

Two of the five cases pending in
the police court against proprietors
of cigars stores, for violation of the
Sunday law, were tried in the police
court Saturday, and both resulted in
acquittal in as short a time as the
juries could write the verdicts.
Attorney Wilson Buttner appeared
for the defense in both cases, while
County Attorney Boner acted for the
state. There was no attempt to deny
accusations, the defense relying upon
the absurdity of law that permits
the sale of cigars in hotels and drug
stores and provides a fine for the sale
of the same article in a cigar store
next door. The juries also probably
considered the animus of the COM
plant, and declined to assist in MAX
ing the law tool in the hands of one
trying to get even" somewhere.
The costs in the cases will, of
course, be paid by the taxpayers of
the county, and the prosecuting at
torney will be but protecting the
county treasury if he declines to
prosecute the remaining cases. That
they would result as the first two is
extremely probable, especially when
it is considered that both the juries
Saturday were as representative bod
les of businessmen as might be Sc
lected. The jury in the first case
called, that against H. E. Bailey, was
composed of S. X. Bowes, B. J. Gar
man, Chas. Holmer, w. H. Club,
Ralph e. Peasley and Harry O'Dell.
In the case against w. H. Mack, ]. S.

DOCKSTADER OFF THE STAGE.
Sketch of Famous Minstrel, Whose
Troupe Appears at the Grand
Theater Tonight.

Lew DOckstader the minstrel mag
nate and magnet, has pronounced
personality. He is quiet, reflective
and fOrceful worker, who has done
more than any other half dozen min
strel managers to uplift the standard
of his profession. The public judges
the comedian, whether he uses
grease paint or cork, solely by his
power to make one forget the seamy
side of life. The popular delusion
is that a fun-maker must be friv-
oler, a superficialist, a chronic cut
up not only upon the stage, but in
his daily walk and conversation.
To meet Dockstader unaware of his
profession one would take him for
a sober, shrewd banker or business
man. He dresses with the moderate
taste of the well bred man of the
world. He never owned a diamond
horseshoe, and does not affect checker
board shirtings or horse blanket
plaids. His manner is quiet, well
poised, his conversation that of the
intellectual observer who has seen
and read much, and who abhors
'shop talk" In any mixed company
of men, in a steamship smoking room,
or place where gentlemen congregate,
Dockstader would be the last one
singled out as a minstrel.
Through all his stage talk, built
upon a foundation of keen satire,
runs vein of whimsical philosophy,
the same sort that has given Peter
DUNES 'Dooley" sketches wide and
lasting popularity. Both these hu-
mOrists appeal to the intellect. Dock
stader is quick as flash in utilizing
the local topic; his monologue is
never the same, but reflects the hu-
NOR of every new event and passing
foible. Few men outside of the news
paper exchange rooms are such a vo-
racious and rapid newspaper reader
as Lew Dockstader. No news of the
world escapes him.

INSPECTION LAW
PROVES SUCCESS
Big Decrease in Accidents Is Shown
More Help Needed for Work.

OLYMPIA, June G.-Reports from
the office of the state labor commits
sioner indicate that the state fac
tory inspection act established at the
1905 legislature is observed and ap-
preciated by both the employer and
emplOye, as shown by the collection
of fees, which have been received at
the commissioners office at the rate
of over $500 per day the first few
days of the present month from the
manufacturers for the renewal of GER
tificates, large number expiring
during the month of June, as the
law went into effect June, 1905.
Statistics show that at the end of
the first two years As per cent. de-
crease in accidents was visible. 1t is
the belief of Commissioner Hubbard
that the present time will show at
least rs per cent. decrease in acci-
dents. Most accidents now occur out
side Of mills where machinery is used,
as in logging camps, where no safety
appliances could be provided.
Four inspectors are constantly en-
ployed and more are needed. While
the collections from fees have exceed
ed the appropriation allowed the
commissioner to employ inspectors to
carry on the work, and many more
factories and large increase in man
ufacturing have been established
since 1905, the same appropriation
governs, making the present force in
sufficient to do full justice to the law.
While charitable societies are devils
ing plans to provide for the crippled
and MANNED, the factory inspection
law is doing far more effective and
humane work by preventing men
from being crippled and becoming OBJ
jects of charity. Any one who will
notice the number of accidents that
appear in the daily papers now as
compared to a few years ago will see
very perceptible decrease.

WILL RAISE A PURSE.
Seattle Fans Propose to Raise Purse
Of $1,000 for Northwestern Pen
nant Winners.

SEATTLE, Wash, June G.
number of well known club men
at lunch yesterday decided to raise
purse of $1,000 to be given to the
team that wins the pennant in the
Northwestern League this year. Sub
scriptions of $5 each will be solicited
and it will take only 200 men to
make up the amount.
The race in this league is the clos
est in it's history. Every team in it
has a fine chance to win, and this
81, 200 ought to be an inducement for
every player in the league to get out
and hustle his best. Men who go to
the game every day realize that the
Seattle team has splendid chance to
win if the weather ever gets hot
enough for real baseball, for most
of the Seattle team are veteran play
ers who ought to get better as the
weather gets warmer.
Of course the men back of the prop
osition would much rather pay over
this $1,000 purse to the Seattle play
ers than to any other team, but if
Tacoma or Aberdeen or Spokane or
Butte or Vancouver should cop the
pennant, the money will be handed
over cheerfully.
C. e. Fowler, a fan of the right
type, is the originator of the plan He
says: "There is nothing the matter
with the Seattle team, except that
the players lack ginger. They will
get into their stride pretty soon, !
think, and the additions Dugdale has
made to his team in the persons of
McKune and Bender will help some.
The teams are so closely punched
that each one of them has a chance
and we want to hang up this purse
as an extra incentive.'

DICTATION RESENTED.
Many OBJECTIONS From Unions in Sc
attle-Dictation by Leaders Is
Cause of Trouble.

SEATTLE, June Six hundred
defectiOns from the ranks of union la
Dor in Seattle during the past two
months are reported and according to
men who say they are in position
to know, many others will go out in
the near future. Among the six
hundred are carpenters, bricklayers
and plasterers. Some of these have
formed themselves into Independent
organizations and are now co-operat-
ing with the open shop contractors,
against whom the unions are direct
ing their energies.
Disaffected painters threaten to
follow the example of the other
craftsmen, and it is said by some
prominent leaders in the revolt that
before the summer ends very serious
inroads will be made upon the
strength of unionism as represented
in the Labor Temple. The men say
they are not opposed to unions, in
fact, they stoutly declare that they
are as much in favor of organization
as they ever were, but they refuse
longer to be dictated to by the Build
ing Trades Assembly and the walking
delegates.
II. Terry, president of a new brick
layers organization which was form
ed a few evenings ago, said yesterday
that complete disintegration would be
the fate of Labor Temple uniOnism
unless the methods of the assembly
were materially changed. Terry said
many bricklayers who are in favor of
allowing the bosses to select their
own workmen and have some voice
in the conduct of their own affairs
were ready to sever their connection
with the Labor Temple authorities
and he predicted that at least half the
membership would leave before long.
''The trouble appears to be that
Labor Temple people do not seem to
be able to recognize changing cOndi-
tions,' said Terry. "They know that
the employers cannot pay as much as
they did while there was big build
ing boom in progress in Seattle, but
they insist that there shall be abso-
lutely no change in the pay schedule.
We are more reasonable. We are
willing to adjust ourselves to chang
ing conditions"
While it is admitted at Labor Tenn
pie that there have been some defec-
tions from the ranks, every effort is
made to minimize the Importance of
the matter. Frank Rust, manager of
the temple and prominent in labor
circles, said yesterday that the men
composing the Independent organiza-
tions are in many instances "scabs'
and most of them are merely the tools
of the contractors who are employing
men on the "open shop" policy.

No Need of Suffering from Rheuma-

can always be relieved, and in most
cases a cure effected by applying
Chamberlain's Pain Balm. The re-
lief from pain which it affords is
alone worth many times it's cost. It
