President Gompers was in New York
when he learned of the sustaining of
his sentence.
With all due respect to the majority
of the Court he said, 81 cannot sur
render my constitutionaIly guaranteed
rights because Judge will issue an in
junction invalidating and denying these
rights. Chief Justice Sheppard's dis
senting opinion is in defence of the CON
stitution and those rights
" The minority opinions of Courts in
the past when human rights were invaded
ultimately prevailed and have become
the laws of the land and the generally
accepted rule. 1 have an abiding faith
that the rule in this case will prove no
exception.

DOGS AND DRIVERS
GET GASOLINE JAGS
Pittsburg Police Have Theory to
Explain HydrophObia and the
Auto Speed Mania.

PITTSBURG, Dec. 1.-THE Pittsburg
police department, after an exhaustive
investigation. has decided that the al
legged epidemic Of hydrophobia among
dogs here is little more or less than a
plain case of drunkenness among the
observation-disclosures through the fumes
OF Rasolene escaping from automobiles.
CAPTAIN Of Police Ford declares he
has discovered the dogs became drunk
like the chauffeurs who speed. Both
get intoxicated, he says, on gasolene
fumes.
The captain explains that there IS a
habit prevalent among chauneurs OF
drinking gasOlcne The fumes from this
OH exhilarates the imbiber and gives
him nerve 20 clip curves and corners.
The dog acquires the gasOleue fume
drunk habit through running after au-
tomObiles. The dog then gets into the
same class as the EasOlere eXhilarated
auto driver and does wilO and ungov-
ernable things The dogs are not mad /;
they're drunk, says the captain.

tended for nothing more nor less than
the family laundry, TO the dainty white
Irish lace and satin creations, made
for miladys opera glasses. the bag
plays an important part in woman's
life And this Christmas it seems to me
that bags were never as varied and as
beautiful.

OF the most useful as well as prettiest
gifts which could be bought. These

~ not inappropriate as such If carried
by a handsomely sowned woman The
Chinese bag sells at from $l.25 up, and
is also found in several Chinese shops
here. In opera bags, nothing more ex-
quisite is shown than those OF Irish
crochet lace over white, ciel blue, or
pale pink satin.
These are by no means inexpensive,
selling at an average price Of $500 To
go from one extreme to another, may
mention that the laundry bag Of ere
