Such is Olive Branch raised on the

Representative James w. vancleaf,

labor. Mr.. vancleaf is in Washington
to urge congress to pass a bill provid-
ing for a tariff commission.
The decison was in the case of Law
Ter VS.. Loewe. the former member of
the Hatters' union. and the latter a
hat manufacturer of Danbury. Conn.
The case involved the applicability of
the seventh section Of the Sherman
antitrust law to conspiracies by labor
unions to boycott articles entering In
to interstate trade. Under the terms
of that provision the complaining par
ty may collect three times the amount
of his loss If the charge is sustained.
The union fought the case on the
ground that the law was inapplIcable
to such organizations. but the court,
whose opinion was announced by Chief
Justice Fuller, failed to accept this
view, and in effect held that the unions
could not be permitted to interfere by
boycott with the free. exchange OF
commerce between the States. There
was no dissenting opinion.

fBy United Press.l

NEW PORK. Feb. 4.-Harry Thaw
demands that his attorneys take imme-
diate steps to secure his release from
Mattewan. His wife sides with him
in his opinion. He says that II he
stays in the prison any longer listen
ing to the maniacs yells and mutter-
ings it will drive hi minsane. His
nerves are on edge. 1t is reported that
o'Reilly and Peabody will take steps
at Poughkeepsie to secure his release.
Littleton will not enter in the case
he says that he believes Thaw should
remain in the asylum at least two
months.
A brief observation and examination
OF the mental condition of Harry X.
Thaw. now confined in Mattewan
state hospital for the criminal insane.
was held to-day by DR.. Allan W. Fer
ris. president of the New York State
lunacy commission. and Or. Lamb. su-
perintendent OF the Institution. The
examination was of a preliminary
character, Thaw and the physicians
talking casually together for about
half an hour.
After the examination DR.. Ferrtss
said it was too early to give an opin-
ion on Thaw's mental condition. The
examination interrupted visit of
Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw and Daniel
oReilly. OF Thaw's counsel, who
came up from New York yesterday. 1t
was Mrs. Thaw's first visit to her
husband since his arrival at Matte
wan. and she appeared depressed
over the situation in which her hus-
band found himself among the insane.
Alienists Evans and JelIffe, retained
by the Thaw family, held several con-
ferences with Thaw. 1t is believed
that unless Thaw is discharged

authorities within few weeks habeas
corpus proceedings will be instituted
in the supreme Court here. That Mrs.
Thaw does not expect the immediate
discharge of her husband is indicated
by her engagement for two weeks of
room in hotel at Fishktll Landing.
where she will be only short distance
away from Mattewan.
