RULING ON COPYRIGHT.
SUPREME Court Decides Dictionary
Case IN FaUor of Merrianas.

Washington Feb. SIN deciding the case Of the
Urfted Dictionary Company agt. the Merriam
company involving the question Of copyright OF a
dictionary. in favor of the Merriam company, the
Supreme Court OF the United States to-day dealt
with the question whether publisher who pub
fishes in the United States copyrighted book con-
tanning due notice of copyright can be protected
against infringement If he publishes the same book
IN another country, emitting the notice OF copy
right the United States II he uses in the other
country the plates for which the type was set In
this country. The Merriams pursued this plan
with the work Of which they the publishers
and when the United Dictionary Company under
took TO reproduce the work from copy bought in
England, where the Merriams published their for
eigr. edition. the latter company sought enjoin
such q course The suit brought IL the United
States Circuit Court for the Northern District Of
Illinois which granted a temporary injunction TO
permit the settlement of the case by the Supreme
Court and at the same time dismissed the bill
The Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the verdict
To-day's opinion delivered by Justice Holmes
and affirmed the decisions of the lower courts. In
the course Of his opinion Justice Holmes said:
IL hardly would be argued that because no copy
right had been taken ont in England. and therefore
the reprint there lawful American copy
right could be defeated by importing the English
book and reprinting from that. II would be
bOIder TO say that the American author stood

with English publishers to secure payment from
them. Yet that is the logic of the appellants

4 WARNING TO RUSSIA.
The Russ" Compare Conditions IN
KINGDOM and Empire.

St Petersburg, Feb. 3.-The assassinations at
Lisbon have made a deep impression on all
classes of society here and the newspapers
which appear to-day comment gravely on the
occurrences which preceded the crime. The
Russ" in daring editorial, draws a thnly
yelled parallel between the conditions in Portu-
gal and those in Russia, and warns the gov
ernment in almost so many words that there Is
danger Of similar occurrence here. The trag-
edy in Portugal, this paper says. was due to the
fact that the King did not understand his people
and was attempting to stem by dictatorial meth
DDS of repression the irresistible striving OF the
masses to take part In the government. The
tragedy happened at the moment when Premier
Franco seemingly had succeeded in restoring
order by series Of drastic repressive measures.
The "Novoe vremya." although attributing the
direct execution Of the plot to anarchists. also
places a connection between the crime and the
dictatorship Of Franco. which met both open and
secret resistance from all political parties. The
paper holds that system Of government which
is unable to protect the life Of the ruler has no
reason to exist, and says that Franco proved
himself q child In the face of danger which
evidently was known to many Of the population.
much the plans of the Russian terrorists for
the assassination of Alexander II were a matter
Of almost common knowledge In st. Petersburg.

alleged that the labor organization had under
taken to compel the manufacturers to unionize
their factory. large majority of other hat
factories in the United States had been forced
to do, and 1t asserted that when they
failed in this effort the union hatters with

act was followed by the declaration Of a boycott

bination to limit and restrain interstate COM
merce. The Circuit Court experienced consid-
cradle difficulty in dealing with this point de-
clartng that neither the manufacture nor dis
tribution OF hats is interstate in character, and
the judge presiding in that court found 1T neces-
sary to decide whether combination which seeks
to interfere with both the manufacture and
the distribution simultaneously is one which
directly affects transportation from one state
to another. The effect of that decision was
favorable to the union. It held that the Su-
preme Court had not broadened the Sherman
act so to make 1t fit such a condition Ac-
cordingiy the complaint was dismissed on
demurrer and the dismissal was affirmed by the
Court OF Appeals. The decision Of the Appellate
Court was to-day in turn overruled by the su-

L4BOR MEN ON DECISION
Union President Looks for Lao to
Make Boycott Legal.

Labor leaders discussed yesterday tho erect OF

Court declaring the union boycott unlawful. There
are stores saloons and factories throughout the
country which the unfair list for either EN-
blowing non-union workers selling non-union
rroduct. and labor men said that many firms have
been Induced TO employ union men because mem
bers Of unions withdrew their patronage PRESIDENT
Frank Dunneu OF the Bartenders' Union, whose
delegates are kept busy trying to unionize the
saloons, said:
This decision IS another instance showing no"
difficult II is for the unions to get the same rec
ognition by the courts that the organizations OF
employers can get. While arbitration prevents
many strikes we know that It is because the en-
ployers In such cases find 1t better to arbitrate
than to face a strike For the reason union
men are employed not because the employers ike
to pay union wages but because they ind II ex-
pedient to do
In declaring the boycott unlawful the court de-
prives the workers of one Of their best weapons
Il operates to prevent concerns which have been
employing union men from becoming non-unfon
concerns. In the case of the hatters the working
men, being vastly In the majority, need more hats
than employers and are the largest consumers Inc
loss Of their patronage therefore. is the best way
in which the unfair firms can be fought and their
employees unionized In the case OF the unions an
injury TO one is the OF ALL and the decara-
at all the unions.
The decision unfair. I believe public senti-
rnent Will ultimately bring about the passage OF an
act which will make a boycott legal when 1t Is
conducted peaceably and quietly. Many OF the
business methods Of in the commercial world
are not considered illegal, and they do not differ

King Carlos OF Portugal
There were fifty anarchists present at the
meeting including refugees from Russia and
Italy and spite of the efforts to keep out spies
the police had a stenographer in hearing dis
tance. 1t was the report of the police agent
that caused the chief Of police so much concern
The speeches were incendiary and the speak
ers were so eager IN their advocacy Of assassina-
ton that they recalled the dark days OF the
Haymarket tragedy when the Chicago reds be-
came SO bold that they hurled bombs into the
ranks of police platoons at the behest of their
leaders.
The most violent Of the speeches was in part
as follows:
Who was Mckinley? Was he any better than
you or / or the King Of Portugal? Was he not
a king who was put there by certain element
to crush another weaker element? He got just
what he deserved much as the King OF Port
ugal, and some more In this country ought TO get
the same thing right now.

could go out right now and rob every store and

The next speaker was comparatively mild. but
the man who followed stirred up the anarchists
present to a high pitch Of enthusiasm He said:

hcemen of this city down on Michigan avenue

Underground River.

AT Birds Point. opposite Cairo
some months ago, an incline used by
the Iron Mountain Railroad com.
pahy. sank out OF sight The
river was -rasged to locate the lost
incline but IL could not be found and
a government diver and expert was
sent down TO see where the incline
had gone and locate IL. The diver
found the bottom Of another river
which runs under Birds Point and
Cairo and the Mississippi and Ohio
rivers, at right angles with the two
rivers.
This underground river is believed
to be as large as the Mississippi,
though with not so swift a current,
and the water is OF a different color
and will not mix with the water of
the Mississippi. The scarcity of
fish at this point is attributed to this
new found underground river, where
the fish are supposed to have gone.

the congress Of the United States by
a two-third majority can refer the
