MERCHANT
Irate Greeks Threaten to
do for Man Who At
tached Their Wages

Going to pacify the rage of some
so of his countrymen whom he had
attached for an amount aggregating
81, 900. alleged due for grocery bills.
ID. G. Demetragopulos, proprietor of
the Greek store in Ely, is reported to
have been met by threats of lynching
and to have been forced to return
hastily to town.
The affair grows out of alleged in
debtedness on the part of the men
occupying bunk houses at Kimberly
and the Veteran who purchased all
their groceries from Demetrakopulos.
Recently he found that although a
large number of the men had paid
their accounts, some had left him in
the lurch. He first dunned them for
accounts and this doing no good.
later secured attachment papers.
Having their pay stopped in this
manner reused the ire of the Greeks
and when Demetrakopulos went up
yesterday to have a talk with them
he was surrounded by large crowd
of the men, who loudly abused him
for having taken such drastic action.
1t is stated that several arrests will
be the probable result of the affair.

PUBLIC PRINTER SUSPENDED.

Washington, D. c. President
Roosevelt temporarily suspended as
Public Printer Charles A. Stillings
and appointed William S. Rossiter
temporarily. The action, as explained
officially, is to facilitate the investi-

Rossiter was chief clerk Of the Census

change was made public by the Presi-

Chairman Lands. of the House Com

President:
"The information you have given

1HAW COUNTESS" FREED
Marriage With the Effeminate
Earl of Yarmouth Void.
lie Made No Defense. as Defense Was
ImposSble-Secret Hearing
Lasted Only 25 Minutes.

London.-Miss Alice G. Thaw's
marriage to the Earl of Yarmouth,
which took place in Pittsburg April
27, 1903, was declared null and void
by Sir John Covell Baines, Presi-
dent of the Divorce Court.
The decree was granted on the only
possible statutory ground in England
that except In name the Countess
has not been wife to Yarmouth.
The hearing, which was held in
the strictest privacy, lasted only twen-
ty-five minutes. The Countess testi-
fed briefly, the Earl was not present.
nor did he defend, although he was
represented by counsel, E. Newton
Crane. The Countess intends to drop
the title.
The rumor is false that her mar
riage was nullif1ed because Yarmouth
is a bigamist. Bigamy would not DE
ground for such decree, nor would
a suit based on that ground be heard
in private.
The court doors were carefully
guarded, the only persons admitted
being the lawyers engaged on both
sides, two medical men who testified,
and two other witnesses. Through
the glass doors part Of the brief pro-
ceedings were visible, but not audible
in the corridor.
Rufus Isaacs, distinguished law
yer, opened her case with brief
statement. While he spoke the Coun-
tess averted her face. Only once did
she glance hastily at the lawyer and
once she raised little gold smelling
bottle to her nostrils.
Then she took the witness chair.
Mr.. Barnard, yet another Of her law
yers, questioned her.
One of the doctors was tho next
witness, testifying for the Countess.
He answered, concisely. few ques-
tions, then left the court.
Another witness was middle
aged woman, dressed in black, and
closely yelled, who, presumably, testi-
fed that the Earl and Countess have
dwelt under the same roof for months
at a time. This woman's testimony
lasted only three minutes, and in an
other ten minutes all the formalities
were finished.
Sir John Govell Baines, who was
been on the bench for eighteen years,
made short statement before giving
the decision which frees forever the
American heiress from the unworthy
son of the Marquis of Hertford.
The doors were kept locked until
the Countess and the woman who tes-
titled had departed by the Judges
private entrance.
The Earl Of Yarmouth offered no
defense, and the only part his lawyer
took was to correct one statement
made by Mr.. Barnard. The reason
Yarmouth withdrew the defense he
had filed was because no effective de-
fense was possible in the face of evil
dence the Countess could have pro-
duced if need be.

ANOTHER BLOW TO
ORGANIZED LABOR
Court Holds It Responsible For
Damage Caused by Boycotting.
REvERsEs A CIRCUIT DECISION
Section 7 Of Antitrust Act Award
ing to Complainant Three Times
Amount of Damages Sustained
by Highest Court.

Washington, D. C.-The Supreme
Court was unanimous in holding that
tho section of the Antitrust act
awarding to complainant three
times the amount of damages sus-
tained by combination in restraint
of interstate trade can be invoked in
the case Of a boycott by organized
labor.
The case was that of D. C.. LoeTe
& Co., hat manufacturers, of Dan
bury, Conn, VS.. Martin Lawlor and
200 other members of the United
Hatters Union, of that city.
The decision of the court was an
nounced by Chief Justice Fuller, and
it reversed the holding OF the Circuit
Court Of Appeals.
I'm our opinion" Chief Justice
Fuller said, 'the combination de-
scribed in the declaration is comb1-
nation in restraint of trade or COM
merce among the several States, IN the
sense in which those words are used
in the act. The combination charged
falls within the class of restraints of
trade aimed at compelling third par
ties and strangers involuntarily not
to engage in the course OF trade eX-
cept on conditions that the comblna-
ton imposes, and there Is no doubt
that, to quote from the we'll known
work of Chief Justice Earle on trade
unions, at common law every person
has individually, and the public has
also collectively, right to require
that the course of trade should be.
kept free from unreasonable obstruc-
ton
"But the objection here is to the
jurisdiction. 1t is said that the re-
straint alleged would operate to en-
tirely destroy the defendants bust.
ness and thereby include interstate
trade as well; that physical obstruc-
ton is not alleged as contemplated,
and that defendants are not them
selves engaged in interstate trade.
We think none of the objections are
tenable, and that they are disposed
of by previous decisions of this court
The suit was instituted by LoeWe
G. Co. in the United States Circuit
Court for the District Of Connecticut.
The company, alleging damages by
boycott against their factory to the
extent of $4,000, asked for a judg-
ment for $4,000 in accordance
with the terms of the Sherman act.
Not only the members Of the Hatters'
Union, but the American Federation
of Labor, of which the union is a sub!
ordinate organization, was included
in the bill.
In the complaint it was alleged
that the labor organization had un.
dertaken to compel the manufacture
ers to unionize their factory, as
large majority Of other hat factories
in the United States had been forced
to do, and it was asserted that when
they failed in this effort the union
hatters withdrew and induced other
employees to do so. This act was fol-
lowed by the declaration Of boycott
against Loewe's hats wherever they
were found, and as the firm con.
trolled an extensive trade throughout
the country the boycott extended to
many States.
