SUPREME COURT SAYS
A KISS WORTH $500. 90
TAKEN WITHOUT CONSENT

Providence, R. l., Oct. 25.-The
Supreme Court does not consider
$500 too much for grocer to pay
for stealing a kiss from the tempting
lips of an unwilling customer. 1t so
ruled to-day when M M. Stone sought
to have set aside a verdict of $500,
given to Mrs. Susane Chaplin.
The court said the verdict was not
erroneous and the damages were not
excessive. The plaintiff said she and
the grocer were alone in his store
when he seized her and kissed her,
his grip making one of her arms
black and blue. He denied she was
in the store.

A WINNER FOR
NEW ORLEANS

Chicao, ILL.,, Oct. 25.-New Orleans
won a tremendous victory to-nigh
when the National Lum ber Manufac
turers' Association unanimously in
dorsed the Crescent City as the bes
site for the Panama Exposition. The
significance of this action is better
understood when it is known thai
the Pacific coast lumber interests, 9
very strong body, weer fully repre-.
sented in the meeting. The associa.
ton includes more than 500 promi.
nent manufacturers scattered all over
the country. George x. Wendlin
OF San Francisco, was elected a mem
ber of the board of governors.
The board of governors took ac-
ton toward the protection of lumber
interest in regard to the railroad
rates and adopted resolutions recon-
mending the Panama Canal be open
ed freely to all purely American trade
II it can be done by legal means.
Resolutions were also passed up
holding the integrity of President
Edward Hines, of the association, in
connection with the recent attack
made upon him at the time of the
national conservation congress in St.
Paul.
1--WE believe that American trade
should be admitted to pass through
the Panama Canal free, If this can
be done by legal means" said Man
ager Bronson of the association to-
night.
LAS we see it there will be- two
classes of trade, international and
national. The national trade, We
believe, will be similar to our cost
wise trade at the present time. For
eign vessels are not permitted to en-
gage in this coastwise trade, and we
hope the. same condition will hold
regarding the canal"
although the association felt ag-
grieved at certain happenings at the
National Conservation Congress,
said Manager Bronson, they are still
heartily in accord with the conserva-
tion movement and will do all in
their power to help it in every di-
rection.''
A. T. Gerrans, of Houma, La, in
troduced the resolution indorsing
New Orleans as the logical site for
the Panama Exposition, and it was
seconded by r. M. Carrier, of Louis
vile. Mr.. Gerrans represented the
Southern Cypress Association.
'The expression in favor of New
Orleans, secured by a vote on Mr..
Gerrans' resolution, after consider
able discussion, is especially signif-
cent because of the fact that the
various Pacific coast lumber interests
fC
represented in the association" said
J. B. Crosby, of the Crosby Adver-
tising Agency, tonight. 1.-The asso-
citation consists of delegates from
over eighteen lumber manufacturers'
associations and includes a total
membership of over 5000 individual
firms, representing the entire lumber
manufacturing interests of the coun-
try. Their vote should have con-
siderable weight on this question"
