CURED by the prior adoption of said

tablished by the continuous and ex-
elusive use of the same in constantly
increasing quantities by said prede-
cessors and by the complainant, the
Carter Medicine Company, itself, from
the time of their said adoption until
the present day.
The decision just announced is per-
haps the most important and far-reach-

Of the tribunal which rendered it. No
Court in the country stands higher.

DISCIPLINED FOR CONTEMPT
Judge Commits Man For Using Fra
ternal Distress sign

Philadelphia, Nov. 8.-Adolph Mos
kovitz threw" the Odd Fellows sign
of distress to a jury in Judge Kinsey's
court this morning and went to prison
in contempt of court for so doing.
MOskoyitz sued his former employer,
Norris Keen, to ecover money depos-
tied as security for the faithful per-
Torrance of his agreement when he
entered Keen's employ on April 10,
1907, as superintendent Of his musical
instrument business at 1850 Main
street, Manayunk. Nine months later,
Moskovitz, according to Keen, was
discharged for dishonesty.
During the course of the trial Court
Officer Lyle and Attorney Arthur S.
Arnold, counsel for the Keen interest
noticed Moskovitz making peculiar
gestures toward the jury. They re-
ported the incident to Judge Kinsey,
who called the plaintiff to the bar and
asked: What is that button you have
IN your coat? What secret order does
that representa-"
"The Odd Fellows replied Mosko.

What was that sign you were MAX
ing?"

in trouble you were making to the
jury-do you e that?"
Eyes, sir"
and you signaled this jury so that
if there was n Of your society men,
bers there he would help you%"
Eyes, sir"
After this startling admission
Judge Kinsey ordered Moskovitz to re-
main in court, and when the jury re-
turned a verde. O. $475 in his favor
Moskovitz was again called forward
and committed to prison for contempt.

GIRLS DESPERATE FIGHT
Fragments of Clothing Strewn Two
Blocks in Struggle

Cairo, H.. Nov. 8. Evidences that
Miss Annie Pelley, a Cairo shop girl.
fought a terrific struggle before sue
cumbing to her assailants last night
was discovered today. Bits of torn
clothing were strewed in the alley in
which children found her d%isigured
corpse, which showed she fought
against her murderers for two blocks.
Miss Pelley was a girl of unusual
strength, and the authorities are in
clined to believe more than one per-
son was involved in the attack upon
her.
Thus far, except for a gag and strips
of toweling used by the murderers.
there has been almost no clew to their
identity. Bl%oodhounds brouch t here
from Harrisburg. H., led the rolice
only two blocks and a half from the
scene of the crime. 1t is thought the
murderers boarded a car at that point.
Mayor Parsons has offered a reward
Of 5000 for the arrest of the murder
crs. The victim Of the crime is 2
years of age. She came here a few
months ago from Anna. H., and has
been living with her married sister or
T~wenty-sixth street. She was on he
way to take a car home from work
in a local drv goods store when las
seen by her friends.

Toronto, Nov. 9-The executive
of Labor in a report to the convention

be taken to the United States supreme

The council recommends also that

leaders. The report also protests
against the issuance of injunction in
labor disputes.
Concerning the controversy over
the secession of the faction of cleo
trical workers, the executive council
makes an exhaustive report.
After citing certain sections of the
constitution the report says:
After exerting every means at our
command to have the state and cen

REPORT ON INJUNCTION

The report on the injunction says:
we recommend that an appeal be
taken from the decision rendered in
both the original injunction as well
as the contempt case growing out Of
1t. We cannot permit these decisions
to go unchallenged. They affect the
fundamental rights and either the
courts or congress must safeguard
them.
we again enter our protest against
the application of the writ of injun-
ton in labor disputes. (unleSS where
the injunction would lie if there were
nc labor ~disputes.) We old that the
ordinary use of the injunction writ in
contentious between workers n m

nee with the rights and liberties of

engaged in a struggle for improved
working conditions. 1t Is a fact. how
