THE HATTERS LOSE
THEIR BOYCOTT SUIT
Jury'S Decision Means a Great
Blow TO Labor Unions.
UNDER SHERMAN ANTITRUST LAW.
Verdict OF 5000, 900 Against The
Danbury Hatters Is Given by A
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 Deliberating.


Hartford, CT. Especially "A new
declaration of independence" is what
Attorney Danie' Davenport calls the
verdict OF $222,000 rendered in the
United States Court by a jury in the
suit of ID. r. Loeme, of Danbury,
against 200 hatmakers of this State.
After having been out over two
hours, the jury ordered actual dam
ages of 1000 to the plaintiff, but
as the suit was brought under the
Sherman Antitrust Law triple dam
ages can be recovered.
There was 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 $1O,-
900 and these. with the counsel fees,
may bring the bill against the Uni
ted Hatters of North America to full
| ly quarter of a 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, il means that the Sher-
man antitrust law protects manufac'
turers and merchants from boycott
attacks
"In substance, 1t is a new declara
tion of independence"
The plaintiff, d. Il. Loewe, was
surrounded by friends in the court
room and congratulated upon The
outcome. He said that If he had no
won he would have gone out of bust
ness.
Judge Platt in his charge practical
ly instructed the jury to bring in {
verdict for the plaintiff. He said thu
only question for them to decide wa
one of damages, and these were to b'
based upon the losses sustained b!
the plaintiff between July, 1902 anc
September. 1903, the period during
which the boycott against the Loew'
factory was maintained.
A bill of exceptions will be filet
by the defense and the case Will b.
carried to the Federal Court of Ap
peals and the United States Suprem
Court.
The suit, which was for $4,000
damages. has been on trial for
weeks. 1t was instituted by the anti
boycott society through Mr. Loewe
but It is understood the damage
awarded are TO go to the Danbur
Hatmakers. The expense of defend
ing the suit falls upor the Unite,
Hatters o! North America, who file
a bond to protect the defendants.

CAT FELL 200 FEET ANOLiVES
Many People Witnessed Pussy Jump
From High Church Steeple
and Speed Away.

A remarkable incident was wit
messed by the residents of Walnut
street and passers-by yesterday after
noon when a cat that had been MAX
ing it's home in the Christ church
belfry jumped from that structure,
struck the roof and rebounded $50
feet to the ground below.
The cat had been up in the church
steeple for two days past, and had
given birth to a litter of kittens,
which unfortunately had fallen to the
ground and were killed. The mother
cat had craWled out on a ledge of
the steeple, and remained there for
more than twenty-four hours, afraid
to move either backward or forward.
Her pitiful cries rent the neighbor-
hood air, and it was determined that
something must be done to relieve
her
Mr.. William Starr volunteered to
go up inside the belfry and see if
he could remove the cat from her
precarious position. He made the as
cent, and with the aid of dip-net on
the end of a long pole endeavored
to reach the unfortunate cat. On his
first attempt, however, the feline be-
came tremendously alarmed, and
with one last despairing shrek,
jumped, hit the roof of the church
and carromed off, $50 feet to the
hard ground below, calmly shook
herself and did a Marathon around
the corner of the church.
However Munchausenlike may this
appear to the reader, it is positively
true.-Macon News.

MEXICAN POOR RENT GRAVES.
Bones of DispOssessed Tenants Are
Scattered Broadcast.

The average Mexican cemetery is
a gruesome spot. The bones of the
dead are treated with little respect
by the municipalities or men in con-
troll of the different burial grounds,
and the poorer the person is the more
ignOble will be the treatment accord
ed the bones when he has passed the
way of all flesh. OF course the peo-
pie Of wealth or even moderate means
are able to have their bodies cared
for in a more or less luxurious man
ner after death. 1t is the lower class
whose crumbling remains are shifted
about from place to place, and finally
fall into dust and are scattered to
the four winds.
The bodies are given room N reg
ular graves at annual rentals. When
the rent lapses the body is moved
from its resting place to give room
for other bodies. The bones of these
dispOssessed tenants are cast into a
pile, where they remain until carried
away and scattered over the land. It
is rare that body of the poorer class
is kept in a grave more than two
years.
In some of the cemeteries are in
teresting catacOmbs that have been
in use for two or three centuries.
Guanajuato is widely known for its
catacombs. A large underground
chamber in the cemetery in that city
is filled with solemn rows of stand
ing skeletons. Some of these bodies
are mummified and are of life-like
appearance.

ALBANY Will Know IT, Is Campaign

ALBANY Will Know 1t" Is Campaign
Prospectus of w. G. Il. U.
The Albany branch of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union has CIV
en- definite notice that it Is far from
satisfied with the manner in which
the prohibition law is being observed
in Albany, and that it proposes to
bring those who are guilty of bring
ing the statute into disrepute to an
accounting.
The temperance forces" the AL
bany w. c. T. U. state in notice
just made, 'are in possession of facts
about local conditions which they are
not yet ready to give to the public.
They have determined upon a more
aggressive campaign against liquor
than Albany has ever seen before"
1t is charged that one of the most
conspicuous evils which has devel-
Oped in Albany is the selling of whis-
ky to boys, some of tender years
having recently been carried to their
homes in an intoxicated condition.
The announcement has created a
great deal of interest. Grand juries
in Dougherty county have failed to
return indictments against blind
tigers and it has been found i'm
possible, except in very few cases,
to secure convictions in the city court.
The temperance forces have made
many complaints, but are not salts
fed with the results secured. Just
what it is they now propose to under
take is not given out, but the infor-
nation is vouchsafed that Albany
will know it when we open the cam
paign.'
