Lower Court Ordered to
Hear Employers Suit
For Damages to
Business.

BY far the most serious nIOw that has
Yet been delivered by tle Supreme
Court OF the United States TO organized
labor, was given today when that
tribunal announced its decision that la
Dor Organizations are liable for damages
from bOycotts brought against manufac-
turers engaged in interstate commerce.
The question was brought before the
Supreme Court by Dietrich Lowe, a hat
manufacturer, of Danbury, Conn. Lowe
sued in a lower court against tie Hat
ters' Union for damages alleged o have
been sustained to his trade as the result
Of 4 boycott made on his hats because
he maintained an open shop. Lowe
claimed the Hatters' Union, together
with the American Federation of Labor.
had conspired TO restrain his interstate
trade. and were. therefore, liable to pun
ishment under the Sherman antitrust
law.
The lower court dismissed the petit
ton. but the Supreme Court held today
that the manufacturer had claim fox
damages, and that the petition should
not have been dismissed. 1t ordered
that the lower court proceed to a trial
Of the case The decision OF the SUI
preme bench was unanimous.
This is the third important decision
adverse to the interests of organized
labor that has been rendered in the
last few weeks by the highest court
of the land, the first being the declar-
ing unconstitutional of the employers
liability act, and the second the knock
ing out OF that section OF the Erdman
act which made It unlawful for an in
terstate employer to discharge an en-
pioye because Of membership IN a union.

Life.

NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-For the
first time since he killed Stanford
White in June, 1906, Harry Thaw
has given his own version of the
Madison Square Roof Garden trag-
edy.
In an amazing interview, given
10 Charles SOmerYille, ThaW ad-
mits insanity at the time of the
shooting, declares he does not re-
member its actual commission, and
says he expected to suffer the death
penalty for his deed.
ThaW's attorneys today outlined
the campaign 10 free their client
from the asylum for the criminal in
sane at Matteawan, to which he was
committed after acquittal of the
murder charge on the ground Of in
sanity.
Demands Immediate Release.
His lawyers, mother, and wife pre-
pared TO visit hiIl in the asylum to-
day, and TO complete the plans for
his release. The acquitted man is
constantly urging haste, and says
that If his present counsel will not
act Immediately he viii obtain other
advisers.
The first step VIII be to get a writ
Of habeas corpus. This may be
granted by any supreme court JUS
tice, and IAaw will be produced in
court;
Following this viii come as bitter
a contest as the trials themselves.
District Attorney Jerome viii use
every force at his command TO keep
the slayer a prisoner, while his
counsel viii try to prove that al
though he was insane when he shot
Stanford White he has recovered,
and is rational and safe now. The
case probably VIII go before a com
mission in lunacy.
Denied Privileges.
Thaw fought today for special prlvi-
leges, which were denied him. He has
been assigned to the division where the
patients who have delusions are con-
fined, and has hfty-seven feIow-pa-

Careful With Coal.

Admiral Evans renewed this order and
brought IL 10 the attention OF all his
officers and men before sailing. During
the entire voyage down the east coast
OF South America from Hampton Roads
the admiral was watchful and demanded
that special care be taken IN handling
the coal. he has again renewed his re-
guest for proper precautions and every
care Is taken that no accident occur.
How this dynamite was handled so
frequently. and reached its destination
without exploding. IS somewhat OF a
mystery It was the common variety
OF dynamite, as was proven by careful
examination
Navy Department officials say that it
was evidently a stick used in mining
coal, and escaped the observation of
the miners and the persons who subse-
Quently handled the cral while l0adinE
it into the collier.

HOGS AND THE PANHANDLE.

Last weeks shipment of hogs
into the Fort Worth markets is
said to have beaten all previous
records. Among the large num-
Der of shipments were several
car loads from the plains coun-
try. which were hogs fattened
on the alfalfa fields, and they
were over the average of the
hogs on the markets. Great is
the Panhandle. Raise more
hogs.-Lubbock Avalanche.
With alfalfa and rich grain
food plants growing and thriv-
ing in the Panhandle and with a
big packing plant to rise in Am
arillo at an early day there will
be no excuse for the Panhandle
farmer to hide behind when he
neglects to raise hogs.
With the surest feed crop
country on earth, with abundant
pure water, with a climate suit
ed for it, and with a packing
house at his door ready to pay
the top of the market for animals
worthy Of it, with all this, we
repeat, it will be a ortsighted
farmer who fails to take advant-
age of the situation.
What better conditions could
ne ask?
Raise more hogs in the Pan
handle and grow rich-not tigur-
ativcly nor comparatively, but
actually. Daily Panhandle.
Just as sure as the farmers in
this country begin to raise the
number of hogs that they can
successfully raise, this country
will become the greatest hog
raising country in the south
west or anywhere else for that
matter. They do well. So far
as this editor can hear, and he
has made Investigations, there
has never been a case of hog
cholera in this county and there
is no sickness of any kind
among swine. Those who have
tried raising hogs here for the
market, report that they can
make more clear profit from a
small bunch of hogs than they
can from the highest grade of
cattle.
