WASHINGTON. d. G., March II
The Court OF Appeals Of the Dis
triet Of Columbia today modified and
affirmed the opinion OF Justice Gould
Of the Supreme Court Of the District
enIoining the American Federation oi
Labor Samuel Gompers and other de-
PENDANTS, from publishing In the I'VE
Don't Patronize" list, the name oi
the Bucks Stove & Range Company,
Of St, Louis.
The opinion. which was handed
down by Justice Robb, holds that the
decree Of Judge Gould should be
modified to the extent that there
should be eliminated from the decree
the restriction Of the labor organizs-
ton and the other defendants from
mentioning writing, or referring" 10

Otherwise the decree is affirmed. The

The court held that the defendants
could not be restrained from ali pub

as arc made in fur,heranee Of an

ist, was a step in the formation OF a
conspiracy TO eoeree independent
dealers into refusing to have further
business relations with that company,
T cannot agree that the publication
can be restrained for that reason,
Regardless OF It's character or pur-
pose. the publication Is protected
from restraint in my opinion by the
first amendment Of the constitution
which forbids any law abridging the
freedom Of the press"
: The Chief Justice held that "the
only remedy for libelous or otherwise
malicious, wrongful and injurious
publications Is by civil action for
damages and criminal prosecution.
There Is no power 10 restrain the
publication"
The decision does not settle the ap-
peal in the contempt proceedings, in
which Messrs. Gompers, Morrison
and Mitchell were given jail SEN

WASHINGTON, .. q. March "

WASHINGTON, D. G. March Ii.
For three hours tonight the Repub-
lican Insurgents discussed behind
closed doors the details Of the eight
they propose to make in congress
next Monday the adoption Of tie
rules of. the last house. The leaders
of the movement express satisfaction
with the size Of the meeting claiming
that at least ten more members
would vote with them against the
rules It is known that much time at
the meeting was devoted to discus
sion Of compromise with the organi-
zaticn forces. 1t was suggested that
the insurgents enter an agreement
whereby the committee should be
appointed to revise the rules Of the
house. Pending the report the rules
Of the last house would be enforced.
The sentiment was that the speaker
did not have the power Of appointing
a committee if such compromise is
agreed on. Among these present at
the insurgent meeting tonight was
Poindexter Of Washington.
After the meeting Gardner said:
Meeting voted unanimously to give
the tariff bill the right of way and de-
cided upon program embodying
definite plan for revision Of rule.
This program is not to be made pub

WOUNDED WITH AK, HE
STILL LIVES
PETERSON SEEMS TO HAVE A
CHANCE FOR LIFE, BUT
1T IS SLIM.

Nels Peterson, the mill hand who
was terribly injured by heavy ak in
the hands Of Bob" Davis Wednesday
evening, seems 10 have a fighting
chance to live. All day yesterday he
was more or less conscious of bis
surroundings, and since he has lived
this long there seems a probability
that he may pull through, Unless
complications arise Of serious ma
ture. "You can't kill some men with
an ak" is saying that seems to ap.
ply to Peterson.
Davis is still locked up in the city
jail. A representative Of the Astorian
called to see him yesterday afternoon,
and asked him about the affair. Davis
did not talk much, but apparently was
not trying to deny the part he had
taken in the affair.
"He was choking her." he said.
when we got the door open l rushed
in and hit him, | guess hardly knew
what was doing. She was being
choked, and was gurgling"
Davis meant when he said that he
hardly knew what he was doing that,
because of anger, or some other feel
ing that swept over him, he did not
deliberately attempt anything, but
struck in a paroxysm. That at least
was what he evidently meant. He also
initmated that the man deserved pun
ishment for the choking he was giving
the woman, and Davis evidently
talks as If he means that his action
was in defense of the woman, or to
save her life.
When examined by DR.. Fulton inn
mediately after the affray no marks
of any choking were discernable on
the woman's throat, and a woman's
throat leaves the marks Of finger
prints very readily. AT the hospital
yesterday Howard M. Brownell, as.
sistant prosecuting attorney and
Chief Oberg secured statement from
Peterson, who was able to talk,
little. He was able to tell very little
of the occurrence but he said that
when he entered the woman's place
he had about $40 and last night when
his clothes were searched by the au-
thorities only a couple of dollars
could be found,
If Peterson lives Davis will doubt
less be charged with an attempt to
kill with murderous weapon; If he
dies it looks as if Davis will have
charge Of murder in the first degree
to combat, Davis is said to be a man
who made friends, and when the
liquor was out of him he was quiet
and peaceable enough, but a few
drinks would make him more or less
OF dangerous man to quarrel with,
He is short, thick set fellow, not at
all unpleasant to talk to- 1t looks as
Il he had "few drinks" in him at
the time, and when he heard the
cries from the woman-who was 'his
woman"-his anger shot up into un-
governable rage, and in that momen-
tary rage he seized the heavy ak and

WILL ATTEND FUNERAL
OF FORMER COMRADE
Congressional Reporters To Pay Last Tribute to Andrew
Devne, Who Died at Brooklyn Home-Recalls
Story of Blaine's Fatal Mistake.

During the campaign, whenever Mr..
Blaine was to receive a delegation it
was his habit to ascertain in advance
from the spokesman Just what was TO
be said, so that he might make fitting
reply.
This duty was generally intrusted to
Mr.. Devine. On the morning the dele
cation headed by DR.. Burchard called
on Mr.. Blaine, Mr.. Devine was absent.
On returning to the Fifth Avenue Hotel
TO rejoin Mr.. Blaine, Mr.. Devine saw an
account OF DR.. Burchard's "Rum, Ro-
manism, and Rebellion speech, together
with SIR. Blaine's reply to it, and at
once realized that a fatal mistake had
been made.
Blaine's Account.
''Mr Blaine told Mr.. Devine of how
he had gone out on the landing of the
stairway. to receive the delegation of
ministers, and how DR.. Burchard had
read his speech in a sing-song voice.
Mr.. Blaine, who was thinking Of what
he should say in reply, did not pay
much attention TO it, and therefore had
been unaware OF the expression made
by DR.. Burchard until he had seen 1t
in the newspapers. Mr.. Blaine always
insisted that. had Mr.. Devine been with
him when DR.. Burchard spoke of Rum,
Romanism. and Rebellion" his atten-
ton would have been called to the fatal
phrase. so that it might have been dis
countenanced in Mr.. Blaine's speech
Mr.. Devine, who was born at Bye
town, now Ottawa. was about seventy
years old. He var one OF the most
ardent canoeists during his residence in
Washington. He first studied shorthand
when he was twelve years old, and be-
came one OF the most proficient steRog-
raphers in the country.

House corps of reporters, botE of whom
were at one time associated with Mr..
Devine in reporting the debates of Con-
gress. 1t was Mr.. Murphy who yester-
day received a telegram announcing the
death of his old friend in Brooklyn.
In connection with the death of Mr..
Devine there comes to light a story Of
a fatal mistake James @. Blaine made
In response to the famous Rum,
Romanisnn. and Rebellion" speech of the
Rev. DR.. Burchard. to which Mr.. Blaine
always attributed his defeat for the
Presidency OF the United States.
Intrusted To Ireland.
The story was intrusted to Fred r.
land, one Of the official reporters of
the House, by Mr.. Devine and was to
be held IN confidence until the latter's
death. Mr.. Iriand. who has in his pos
session a manuscript account Of the
story, relates this account OF the Rum.
Romanism. and Rebellion speech as
told by Mr.. Devine:
According to the story told to me by
Mr.. Devine, Mr.. Blaine declared TO him
that the unfortunate break would never
have occurred had Mr.. Devine ben
present when the delegation headed by
the Rev. DR.. Burchard was received.
