examiner found afterwards that the fall had caused fracture at the base of the brain. followed by hemmorrhage. Mir. Wallace remained unconscious and died four or five minutes after contact with the roadway.
 Immediately after the accident, Gar rity drove toward Fairfield, for Dr. Donaldson and asked former Deputy Sheriff Wallace M. Bulxley to send in a carriage for MT. Wallace.
 Drivers of various vehicles stopped, and soon there was a good sized crowd assembled.
 Telephones were soon in operation from Fairfield. and Justus B. Hawley. proprietor of the Ash Creek Inn, tele- phoned for the automobile ambulance in this city. Someone telephoned for MT. Wallace's physician, Dr. John c. Lynch. while MT. Samuel H. Wheeler, on hearing of the accident. sent his automobile for Dr. Donaldson. at Fair field Center. But death came before the doctors. and their services were of no avail.
 The body of MT. Wallace was placed in a cart, with the idea of removing it to his home. but on the advice of the later taken in charge by Undertaken Henry E. Bishop. and brought to his rooms in this city.
 A Farmer reporter saw Coachman Woodward in the Wallace stable in Fairfield, where he had driven after returning from the eventful ride, an hour and a. half after he started with MT. Wallace as a passenger.
 There was not a. scratch on the big brown horse and not a thing out of the way with the harness. The door of the coupe had a worn place on it where it had come in contact with the wheel when MT. Wallace had opened it to, as he believed, save his life. In side was the robe thrown on the floor and the opened newspaper where he had left it.
 Dr. Donaldson rode to his home from the scene of the fatality in the coupe, but he did not disturb the robe or the 
 The horse was ct with precipitation and as Woodward rubbed the animal down he said: That's the second time that I was ever in a runaway, but you can't call it runaway really for the horse did not get away The first time I was driving party of ladies back of a. pair of horses through Fair field. But the ladies did not realize the horses were running away and by giving them a hill to climb I stopped them. MT. wallace must have seen that the horse was running and jump ed out It is the most peculiar thing that I never missed him. In fact I have not seen him from the time he stepped into the coupe up to the pres ent time.

Modification of Decision in Bucks Stove and Range
 Case.
 Sentence Passed on Labor Leaders Not Directly
 Affected. Opinion of United States Court of Appeals Handed Down Today - Judge Gould's Injunction Modi- fed-E'We Don't Patron ize List" Is Reconsidered.
Special from United Press,

Especial from United PreSS)
 Washington, March 1.-The District court of appeals to-day handed down an opinion in the appeal of Officers of the American Federation of Labor in the famous Bucks Stove and Range case modifying Justice Gould's injunc- tion order, which forbade the Fedora tion to assail the St. Louis Stove con- cern, in printing it's unfair list
 By Justice Gould's decision, the Fed eration of Labor was enjoined from publishing the name of the Stove Com pany in the i've don't patronize'' list in the Federationist. the official monthly journal of the organization.
 The decision does not affect sentences passed by Justice Wright upon Presi- dent Gompers, Vice President Mitch ell, and Secretary Morrison, on account of their alleged violation of the injunc- tion and contempt of the court al though ultimately it may result in a of the sentence. It is pos sfble that since the court of appeals harsh. the defendant labor leaders will base their appeal from their jail sen- tences upon to-day's decision.
 The modified decree found charac- terization of the Bucks Stove and Range Company as unfair when such spiracy, or boycott against the firm.
 On this point, Justice Mobb, who read the decision in court says:
 We think the decree in this case goes too far when it enjoins the pub Hcation or distribution through the mails or otherwise of the Fedora tionist or other periodicals or newspa- pers containing any reference to com plainant or it's business or product, as in the i've don't patronize' or unfair list of the defendants.
 1.-The printing of this list in the Fed erationist was what the counts ought to prevent, and what in our opinion the court had power to. prevent; but the decree should stop this, and not to regulate the publication and distribution of other matter, over which the court has no control.''

 Question of Renewing Agreement in Anthracite Field Under Discussions Believed Demands of the Miners Will Be Wholly
 Rejected. Delegates Must Then Re port Back to Their Dis tricts for Further Instruc- tiOns - Present Confer ence Mot Likely to be Final.
(speciaS from United Press.)

(SpeCld1 OIlllSo IICSS.I
 Philadelphia, March 11.-Thomas F. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers and a committee representing tn district locals of the organization went into conference with the coal operators at eleven o'clock today in the Reading terminal building to set tie the question of whether or not there is to be a .trike in the Anthra- cite field. Both sldes talked consid erable on the subject but there was by some of the parties. The labor ad- vocates made the demands already forecasted and it is generally accepted that they will be refused as a whole after which they will be divided and each considered separately.
 Three years ago the miners presented similar demands but, after series of conferences lasting three months, they were all abandoned and the award of the coal arbitration commit tee was renewed for three years more. This agreement expires March 31 and today's meeting was for the purpose of arranging a new compact between em- ployes and employers.
 Should the operators refuse to accede to the demands as formulated the min CTS representatives will report Dack; another meeting of the three districts will be held and it will then be decid- ed by the miners in body when ac- ton on their part shall follow.
 The representatives here to attend the conference say there can be no all teration of the demands as their in structions are to have them granted in full.
 After the demands of the men had been presented in regular form a dis cussion of them took place and they were referred to. a committee made up of seven miners and seven operators who will discuss them this afternoon. The conference then adjourned for luncheon.
 The subcommittee went into session immediately after luncheon and it was stated it would be several hours before they would have anything to report.

Burke, was following IIaCroix closely. Burke obeyed the signals of the offic- Nofficers all the dnfornation they want ed aald was allowed to proceed. He described L.aCroix as a crazy French man, meaning that he was a reckless driver.
 Sheriff Stagg got on to his job i'm [. n1ediately. He halted the first ca that came along. It was not numbe. ?. While the sheriff was talking to the driver LeCroix hove in sight, driv- ing like mad He was signalled to stop by Sheriff Stagg and slowed down, evidently believing the sheriff to be in the race. When he discov- cred the sheriff's shield he putt on full speed, lodged around the other ma chine, and disappeared down the Ferry road Here he stopped for a few min utes and removed the marks on his machine. He approached Washington bridge carefully, evidently expecting that officers would hold him up there, but no one appeared and he passed through Milford at a 60-mile gait Both Sheriff Stagg and Supt. Birming- ham notified the New Haven police to hold LaCroix when he passed through that city. He was arrested at Church and Chapel streets, New Haven, and charged, with reckless driving.
 Fairfield officials had been making Croix stopped. Stratford and Bridge port also wanted him. C1itus H. King, grand juror of the town of Fairfield, hurried from his office in the Warner building to headquarters and prepared a warrant charging LaCToix with vio- Eating Sec. Il, Chapter 221, of the acts of 1907. LaCroix had employed At torney Robinson as counsel in New Haven and was anxious to put up a. bond and take his place in the race. After considerable haggling by La CroiXs attorney MT. King fixed the bond at $500 and authorized Chief Cow1es of the New Haven police to accept a cash bond in that amount for the town of Fairfield New Haven all so fixed a. bond of $500.
 The police here regard IaCroix'S act as dastardly. While his attorney was seeking the release of his client as an act of courtesy the officers here made it plain that LaCroix deserved ]. no courtesy. Prosecuting Attorney Alex ander Delaney was at police head quarters when the car passed. He was as indignant as any of the officers. He immediately sent word to Attorney King after the capture of LaCroix had been reported over the wire.
 LaCroix will be charged with violat- ing Sec 1886 of the revised statutes, which provides a punishment for de facing the American flag, and also for violating the statute concerning auto mobile driving. Stratford will also have a charge to present.
 The warrant flor LaCroix is return able before Justice Bacon Wakema.n of Fairfield at the town house next Mon sible that an additional charge con- nected with the tragic death of MT. wallace will also be pressed.
 In the car with LaCroix when it passed through this city were two per sons. One of these was woman and she occupied a seat beside the driver. A man occupied the rumble seat on the machine.

 Newark, March 11.-Though local de- tectives have secured the Polish dis tricts here, they are to-day without a direct clue to. the assassins who shot to death Rev. Eramus Ansione at the rectory of St. Stanislaus church on Belmont avenue here yesterday.
 Seven men are under arrest at DO lice headquarters here under suspicion of being implicated in the crime All of them are members of the Stanislaus congregation and took prominent parts in the recent factional fight of the con- gregation. All deny that they have the slightest idea who the priests mur- derers are.
 1ege that the prisoners have a pretty good idea who the slayers were. The murderers must have been well ac-. quainted with the neighborhood of the rectory.
 The suspicion that the sIayers came from Paterson which was Father An sioness parish before he came to New ark three months ago is not believed to be. Wel1-founded- It is pointed out by the Paterson detectives that the mem bers of St. Stevens church there, which parish was presided over by Father AnSione were fully satisfied when he was transferred to Newark as pasror. of St. StaniSIauS
 r Despite this assertion, however the Newark police have started a. search for a former female member at the Patterson rectory- This woman 1t is alleged had a personal encounter with the priest during the time of the Pat erson church trouble.

DELANEY : NOW NAMED
 FOR PLACE
Member of Judiciary Com mittee Thinks Prosecutor May Be Named Deputy Judge.
By our Staff Corres.)

Hartford March 11.-An interesting feature of the City court fight dn the city of Bridgeport has developed here in the mix-up among members of the Judiciary committee where it is said a strong sentiment has developed for the appointment of present Prosecuting Attorney A. L. Delaney to the deputy judgeship, the reason for it being that several members of the committee are said to favor Delaney for that posi- tion No vote upon the position of deputy judge, for which there are two can 1idates, Wilder and Robert H. Gould. at the meeting of the commit tee yesterday afternoon.
 A member of the committee told the Farmer representative today that he believed if Delaney would accept that he could be named as deputy judge of the Bridgeport City court. The diff culty, he said, was that Delaney would probably not accept the place. One of the most influential advocates of the Foster and Wilder slate said this afternoon that Delaney, who was called to Hartford yesterday for a. con- ference, had received assurances that if he would announce his willingness to accept a place in the City court other than that of prosecuting attorney or judge he could probably have it.
 As the Farmers informant under stood it Delaney notified his friends upon the committee that he would
 
 prosecuting attorney or nothing.
 Alderman R. H. Gould, who is a can didate for deputy judge, found the sit uation so acute that he made a hurried trip to Hartford today and held a con- ference with the members of the Ju- dietary committee. It is known that Assistant Prosecutor F. l.. Wilder has many friends upon that committee. With Delaney definitely out of it, it is talked in the inner circles that Will der will make a good showing although not believed strong enough to defeat Gould.
 Another interesting report is that Representative Bush of Orange, a member of the Judiciary committee, is credited with the intention of mov- ing for a. reconsideration of the entire Bridgeport City court matter when the committee meets this afternoon. A Fairfield county representative is the authority for this statement, and he said Bush told him he intended to do so.
 The old men have not given up hope of either ultimate victory or at least John T. King. who is the leader of the young mems forces, 1 says he is still sanguine as ever that the young men will win.

There is no difficulty in determining

libel. Legitimate criticism of the acts

press is not only permissible. but under
a government like ours, where the pub
lie officer is in theory. and ought to be

the most effective methods to secure
fidelity and to prevent abuses on the
