THE MATTERS LOSE
THEIR BOYCOTT SUIT
Jury'S Decision Means a Great
Blow to Labor Unions.
UNDER SHERMAN ANTITRUST LAW.

Jury In The United States Court
At Hartford - Manufacturer Is
Given Damages For A Boycott
Unions Held Responsible For Their
Officials Acts-Jury Spent Two
Hours Celebrating.
Hartford. CT. (SpeciaD "A new
declaration of independence" Is what
Attorney Daniel Davenport calls the
verdict of $222,000 rendered in the
United States Court by jury in the
suit of D. E. Loeme, of Danbury,
against 200 hatmakers of this State.
After having been out over two
hours. the jury ordered actual dam
ages of $4,000 to the plaintiff, but
as the suit was brought under the
Sherman Antitrust Law triple dam
ages can be recovered.
There was a remarkable scene in
court when the verdict was announc-
ed. The defendants in attendance
were stunned for time and then in
groups dejectedly discussed the blow.
1t is estimated that the costs in
the case will amount to at least $10,-
may bring the bill against the Uni
ly quarter of million of dollars.
Speaking in regard to the signifi-
canoe of the verdict in the case,
which is said to be the most impor-
tant of it's kind ever tried in this
country, Attorney Davenport, senior
counsel for the plaintiff, said:
First, it means that individual
| members of labor unions are bound
by the action of their officers and
they cannot allow them to do as they
please.
Secondly, it means that the Sher-
man antitrust law protects manufac-
turers and merchants from boycott
attacks.
In substance, it is a new declara-
tion of independence"
The plaintiff, D. E. Loewe, was
surrounded by friends in the court
room and congratulated upon the
outcome. He said that if he had not
won he would have gone out of bust
ness.
Judge Plat in his charge practical
ly instructed the jury to bring in a
verdict for the plaintiff. He said the
only question for them to decide was
one of damages, and these were to be
based upon the losses sustained by
the plaintiff between July, 1902 and
September, 1908, the period during
which the boycott against the Loewe
factory was maintained.
A bill of exceptions will be filed
by the defense and the case will be
carried to the Federal Court of APP
peals and the United States Supreme
Court.
The suit, which was for $4,000
damages, has been on trial for II
weeks. 1t was instituted by the anti
| boycott society through Mr.. Loewe,
but it is understood the damages
awarded are to go to the Danbury
Hatmakers. The expense of defend
ing the suit falls upor the United
Hatters of North America. who filed
bond to protect the defendants.

Philadelphia Especially. - What
may have been a double murder. a
consummated suicide pact or two
sudden deaths from natural causes
was discovered here when the bodies
of William Bohrer, a prosperous lap
idary, aged SO years, and an uniden-
titled woman, about 80 years of age,
were found in a room in the whole
sale jewelry trade section of this
city where they had lain probably for
more than month.
The room where the bodies were
found were used by Bohrer as a
sleeping apartment and adjoined his
shop on the third floor of small
building at Seventh and Samson
Streets. The lapidary. who had sue
ceeded his father in business many
years ago, had not been seen since
Christmas week. 1t was his custom
to take frequent fishing and hunt
ing trips, and the fact that his rooms
had not been opened for more than
a month attracted little attention.
His son. after several attempts to find
his father at home, notified the po-
lice and locksmith was sent for and
broke open the door.
Clothed only in their night robes
the bodies of the man and woman
were found lying in the room. Bob
rer's body was stretched face down
ward across a chair, while that of
the woman lay on the bed face down
ward, her outstretched hand grasp
ing the round of a chair
There was nothing to indicate that
the couple had entered a suicide
pact, no trace of poison having been
found. Neither was there any evil
dence of murder, aside from the fact
that Bohrer's body was lying in an
unusual position. The apartment
was in good order, and there was no
evidence of robbery having been
committed Both bodies were in a
badly decomposed condition, and it
was practically impossible to tell
from the superficial examination
which was made whether murder had
been committed
The identity of the woman is not
known to any of the occupants of
the building.

Laredo. Tex. Especially One of
the greatest disasters in the history
of Mexican coal mining, which has
heretofore experienced several crush
ing blows, resulting in a tremendous
loss OF human life, took place in the
Palan Mine, at Las EsperanZas,
Mexico.
According to the latest reports
from the scene Of the disaster 70
lives are known to have been lost.
After the official report showing SO
dead, IA additional bodies were re-
covered, bringing the total up to 81,
while there bodies have died in the
hospital, making the total of victoms
thus far 10.
The explosion occurred in the No.
3 shaft of the coal mine of the Es-
peranzas Mining Company and is at
tributed to the ignition of gas from
the fame of a miners cigarette,
who was smoking contrary to the
rules.
The miners. consisting principally
of Mexicans and Japanese, had assum-
ed their places in the workings short
ly after z o'clock. About $50 O'Clock
those at work above ground heard a
loud explosion, and almost instantly
a vast cloud of dust and smoke shot
forth from the mouth of the shaft.
Assistance was Immediately forth
coming, and as soon as the air in
the shaft could be purified sufficient
ly to permit rescuers to descend, many
volunteers were ready to risk their
lives in an endeavor to succor their
stricken brothers below
A cage was Immediately sent down,
followed later by two others, all
loaded. When the cages descended
and the men had made an exami-
nation of the first and second levels,
everything was found to be intact,
and beyond being frightened the men
working in these levels were safe.
They were brought to the top as rap
idly as the cages could be loaded.
The rescue party continued it's ex-
plorations and went down to the
third level and as soon as the air
would be sufficiently cleared, enter
ed the various shafts and began
search for the dead.
Scattered about in various po-
sitions in the workings, they found
the bodies of the men, suffocated;
the faces indicating in many instances
the hopeless fight they had waged.
The rescuers Immediately began to
work in relays, searching for and
carrying to the surface the bodies
of the dead and dying.
Many heartrending scenes were
enacted as the bodies were brought
up from the shaft and stretched out
in rows upon the ground to await
Identification
Most of the killed were Mexicans.
