BOSTON, Mass, Aug. H.-Everett W.
Burdett, a special master In the famous
case Of the Western Union against the
American Telephone and Telegraph
Company, viii today file in the United
states Circuit Court here a decision in
which approximately 100000 will be
awarded to the plaintiff. This is believed
likely to settle the famous action Of the
Western Union Company for an ac-
counting under a contract dated No
yember 10. 1879, which has been in Iitiga-
ton for twenty-five years.
Though this Is much less than the
amount claimed by the Western Union,
IL is regarded in financial circles as a
great victory for that corporation. The
claim Of the plaintiff was for 3, lss
shares OF stock, par value about $500 900
and S5,8l3,Z92 in cash. The master finds
that II is entitled 10 20,087 shares of
stock, and s2,559,9-4 In cash.

finding, the parties are not satisfied

rat which, after being killed by this
food. remains IN the walls of the house
and emits bad odors."
After eating a large amount of the
food, the rats slept quietly enough, but
they were lh.ely mummies this morning.
These rats. which are kept by Prof.
Lantz for just such experiments as
this, belong to two families which were
born last May. They have eaten so
many patent rat-killers that they can
eat ordinary poison without discomfort,
while stryehnine and potassium bichlo-
ride give them but passing pains. They
have eaten about every rat poison on
the market. and only a few OF their

For years. Prof. Laatz has been

rats. He believes that If he could find
some contagious disease TO start out
among the rats OF the country. millions
would soon succumb. But this sort OF
microbe has been elusive. It takes mi
crobe OF wonderful vitality to qualify
for this attack on the rodents Of the
country. and none have been found so
