my Dear Mr.. Moon
"I have your letter of March in re-
spect to the provisions of the bill in
orders and injunctions by the federal
courts. I have already written you
how important I regard this legisla-
ton and how necessary 1 think it is
for congress to adopt it in carrying out
the pledges of the republican party
and this although the bill does not
meet the views of the extremists on
either side It merely embodies what
is the best practice pursued by chan
cellors of experience and actually
adopted by the rules of some federal
courts.
81 concur with you fully in your
view Of the injustice of the criticisms
in the statement to which. you refer
and to which you offer so full a reply.
Sincerely yours,

New York, March S.-That judge

answered 4 don't remember to most

court instead of holding him for a jury
trial on a charge of perjury was the
decision of the United States circuit
court of appeals today in an opinion
written by Judge Coke. Lawyers say
the ruling is one of the most import
ant decisions in the interest of credit
Ors of bankrupts since the enactment
of the bankruptcy law.
The decision was rendered in the
case of Schulmans &c Go1dstein, bank
rupts. SchuImans was called upon
to testify before a referee to explain
apparent shrinkage in his assets. His
firm had claimed some months before
the BANKRUPTCY q net worth in their
business of $4,000, but maintained
that at the time of the bankruptcy
the liabilities exceeded the assets by
$4,000.
SchUlmans refusal to make any ex-
planation of the disappearance Of the
assets aroused the Merchants Protec-
tive association. whose counsel made a
certificate to the effect that he was
committing perjury. Judge Holt order
ed his arrest and committed him to
Ludlow street Jail for six months for
contempt of court. Judge Coxe's opin-
ion of today, concurred in by Judges
Lacopbe and Noyes. holds that the
commitment was proper.

RETAIL DEALERS BLAME
FARMERS AND PACKERS
For Higher Prices Of Meat-Testirony
Before Senate Committee.

Washington, March s.-Retail meat
dealers today placed upon the farmers
and the packers responsibility for the
higher price of meat, in testimony Civ
en- before the select senate committee
which began Its inquiry into the in
creased cost of living.
Five retail men from New York,
Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washing
ton were heard, and Walter Brown, a
Washington dealer, who kills his own
meat was the only one who did not
admit that the priCL of meat had gone
up at least 10 per cent. during the
past five years. Mr.. Brown insisted
that prices were practically the same
now as then. All agreed, however that
competition among the retailers kept
the price to the consumer az low as
possible consistent with the price
charged by the wholesalers.
Each witness vigorously denied the
charge that the retailers We're respon-
sible for prevailing prices and none
would admit that any agreement eX
listed among them as to prices While
no one charged that the packers were
all in a combination, all the witnesses
declared that there seemed to be no
competition among them for the trade
of retailers and that their prices
ranged about the same.
The committee will meet again to-
morrow. The wholesalers will next be
heard, and after that the packers.

tonight by bullets fired by a party of
alleged strikebreakers who rode wildly
up and down Frankford avenue in a

the stoniDS of cars was renewed to-
night along Frankford avenue, the
principal thoroughfare in the mill dis
trict in the northeast.
A stone thrown ibv one Of the crowd

Infuriated at this. a crowd of about
fifteen of his comrades took out a car,

bullets were rained at the jeering
crowds.

the barn began. So swiftly was it
driven that before the crowd realized
that It was coming back 1t had sped
past them and into the barn again.
