dustry and upheld the workingman as the real wall of human flesh and blood that the American nation places it's dependence upon.''
 We hear great praise of industrial captains but it was the common man who created the country, a fabric" said DeForest. Industrial captains are all right in their places but the common man must also count, since it is he who really does the work"
 De Forest also quoted from the de- position of Samuel Gompers and laid especial emphasis on the part of the deposition submitted by the plaintiffs, during the early examination
 "Gompers declared,' said De Forest, "that the United Hatters of North America had never declared a boycott against the Loewe Company, and this important fact was left out of the evi- dence by the plaintiffs

New Yorks New District Attorney Succeeds Tn Having the Case Transferred and It Will Be Tried By Justice Golf, the Strongest Jurist on the Bench.

New York, Feb. 3.-On District Attorney Whitman's application, the case against Jack Johnson, the negro prize-fghter, who is under indictment for assault in the second degree for beating up Norman Finder, colored, in a negro saloon last month, was to- day transferred from the court of general sessions to the criminal branch of the supreme court for trial.
 Justice Golf, recognized as the strongest jurist on the bench, will preside and the district attorney stated that he will endeavor to have the trial held within two weeks, al- though no notice has yet been set for it.
 The arrangement was not pleasing to the attorneys for the negro.
 Fears are expressed that if John son is convicted he is likely tohget severe prison sentence. The penalty for the crime is not less than five years imprisonment, a fine of $5,000 or both.

GETS DIVORCE
 AND ALIMONY OF $l5,OOO YEAR
Supreme Court Justice De- cides for Mrs. BrokaW on
 Cruelty Charge
Her Request for $3O,OO0 Considered Excessive In View of Husbands In come
(Special from United Press. ]

Minecla, Feb. 3.-Mrs. Mary Blair Brokaw has been granted a separation from her husband, William Gould Bro- Naw, by Justice Putnam of the su- preme court and alimony of S15,00O a year.
 In an opinion filed with the clerk of the Nassau court today the Jus tice held that Mrs. Brokaw's allega- tions against her husband of cruel treatment are proven and that she is entitled to the separation decree. Her request for alimony of $30,000 a year, however, was held by the court to be excessive in view of Brokaw's proven statement regarding his income and the Justice cut the amount in half
 Justice Putnam handed down long opinion in which he cleared Brokaw of some of the most serious charges which his wife made against him. He declared that the alleged threats against her life were hardly to be talk en seriously, neither were the allega- tions that he was an habitual drunk ard and usually Intoxicated to be con- sidered as proven. The court made it plain that both parties to the action were of an extremely nervous, hyster- ical temperament and he referred to the agreement for temporary separa- tion, reached four months after the marriage as showing that the couple were temperamentally unsuited for each other.
 The court ruled that Brokaws &C., tions in breaking down Mrs. Brokaw's bedroom doors on numerous occasions were reprehensible, as they robbed her of the privacy she was entitled to. NO evil motives are to be aScribed to MT. Brokaw in this connection" declares 4I,o 1nfif nf acts imperiled the health of Mrs. Bro kaw, who was a very nervous nature and she is entitled to protection by a legal separation
 MT. Brokaws tendency to jealousy" ruled the court was early in their married life manifested and his con- stant accusations against his wife fin ally resulted in counter charges by her and disputes followed This despite the fact that defendant has been shown to have liberally provided for his wife at all times."
 The court reviewed the law of the case at great length and then Ndecreed the separation.
 Discussing the so-called Bunny Wells episode, when Mrs. Brokaw en- tertained a party of friends and Wells and 8 woman of the party stayed at the Great Neck house over night, the court declared that there was nothing in any way out of the ordinary in this and that the episode was in every way an innocent one. There was no ex- cuse for Brokaw closing his house as result, according to the court, and this action, even though he allowed his wife $15O a week to live elsewhere on, constituted abandonment and made decree necessary. The court also held that the evidence of BrokaW's fnan- cial status, as furnished, was unsatis- factory.

BOYS FACE HAUNTS MAD
 MAGICIAN; CAN IT BE THAT
 OF PHILIP MASTROIANNO ?
Startling Disclosure Made By New York Police in Connection With Murder of Children.

In the possession of the New York police are letters written by Herbert Jerome Dennison, the mad magician, held as the alleged slayer of the Shib- ley and Lomas boys. in High Bridge Park, New York, Jan. 12. which show that Dennison is haunted by the face of a little boy. This fact, disclosed for the first time today, has renewed the connecting of Dennison's name with the baffling murder of little Philip Mastroianno, the nine-year-old boy killed in the sequestered north eastern section of this city Oct36, 19o7
 Just a year to the day after the murder of the Mastroianno boy. Den nison, the New York police declare, was arrested in that city on complaint of his mother, because he acted queer ly and threatened her with violence.
 It is known that DennisOn was in the vicinity of Bridgeport off and on for several years, and that he was in various private homes in Fairfield, Southport and in other suburbs just troianno. Shortly thereafter Denni- son was sent to the Middletown State Hospital for Insane. Where he was on the date of the Mastroianno mur- der the police haven't learned.
 Boys living in the northwestern sec tion of the city at the time of the Mastroianno murder told the police strange tales about a man wearing rough beard, with his shoes girded about with laces. acting queerly and chasing them through the fields. The description is said by the police to tally exactly with that of Dennison.
 Now the New York police have learned that Dennison was accustomed to long walks in the woods, with his mother, and was given to this form of exercise whenever he got the op- portunity to take it.
 Whether the fact that haunts the mad magician, as Dennison is known, is that of little Philip Mastroianno. may never be known, but the circum- stances surrounding the crime are such as to lead many to believe that if a thorough investigation were made of Dennison's doings about the time of the crime the mystery surrounding little Philips death might be cleared away.
 At 3:3O this afternoon Dennison was brought before Magistrate Corrigan in the office of the District Attorney, in New York, for a hearing in connection with the murder of Robert Lomas and Arthur Shioley. ---s-rr z

It is generally recognized that the personal appearance of the new dis trict attorney in the case means that a determined effort is to be made to convict the negro fighter and the in itiated know that with Golf on the bench the fighter will rise or fall on the evidence for if there ever was a jurist in the Empire state who is not subservlent to outside influences it is Golf
 Whitman it is known has taken a close interest in this case and it is said he is convinced that the attack by Johnson was unwarranted and he proposes if he can to show once and for all that despite the prominence of characters like the negro fighter they will pay the laws demand just as well as an ordinary offender if they transgreSS.
 Johnson when informed today of the status the case had taken i'm mediately wired his counsel to spare no expense to secure the ablest legal talent available for he evidently req lizes what it means to face Golf.

Especial from United Press }

Hartford, Feb. 3.-Denouncing g. the proceedings as ''one of the most as- founding pieces of rascality ever brought into a United States court" Robert E. DeForest, of Bridgeport, former Congressman, in his summing up argument for the defense in the Danbury Hatters boycotting case. in which D.. E. Loewe and Company of Danbury, asked $40, 900 damages, al- leging conspiracy and restraint of trade under the Sherman antitrust Law, today roundly trounced the American anti-Boycott Association
 AS it was the first time the anti Boycott Association had ever come in for 8 public whaling, Attorney De Forests charges created a great sen sation.
 We all know that this is not Loewe's complaint said DeForest. "We know he never brought this malicious, ly- ing suit alone. It was instigated by the -Boycotting Association first and last.",
 Attorney DeForest also paid his re- spects to the so-called captains of in

The Perfection Sewing Cabinet
Company is the latest manufactur-
ing industry to cast its lot with Sa-
lem's. The company has purchased
the property on Fourteenth and
Leslie streets, south of the S. P.
switch, it being the site of the box
factory burned a short time ago, and
will in the very near future begin
the erection Of suitable buildings 1t
is understood the company has al
ready ordered it's machinery, some AZ
automatic machines, from the East,
which will be here by the time the
buildings are ready for them. 1t was
at first thought that the machinery
could be installed and the factory
started by December, but it will prob
ably be 80 days before the hum of
the machinery will be heard. The
company bought all the machinery
owned by the box factory, and will
add other to it of the value of about
$4,000. The company will start
work with force of 60 men, and eX-
poets to increase this to $50 before
year has expired.

quality, "A Stubborn Cinderella, -
which is to play at the Grand Opera
house on Monday, October 8. This
much talked about musical play is
by the same authors who wrote,
"The Time the Place and the Girl"
1.-THE Goddess of Liberty" and other
big successes. The play was pro-
duced at the opening OF the new
Princess Theatre in Chicago, and
since the initial performance has
been playing to tremendous houses,
with records of 500 consecutive per-
formances in Chicago, six months in
New York and 20 weeks in Boston
and Philadelphia.
The plot of the piece hinges ON
the love affairs of a young college
chap who meets a titled young wo-
man from Scotland, who, previous TO
her acquaintance with Mac-the col
Iege youth-has never spoken to n |
man. The situations following their |
are ludicrous in the ex-

1t will manufacture the Yates Per-
fection Sewing Cabinet, the Yates
Perfection Kitchen Cabinet, and 9th
er household necessities on which it
has patents. Among other things to
be made are stepladders, fruit boxes
and wood packing cases of every de-
scription. Both the sewing and
kitchen cabinets are labor-saving de-
vices, that every woman needs and
wants, and the field is practically un-
limited.
Salem is in need of just such enter
prises and the starting of one means
the location here of more, and this
company should receive every en-
couragement in their enterprise. Sa-
lem is well located for manufactur-
ing town, and especially so for the
making of all products into the COM
position of which lumber enters.
The company is incorporated un-
der the laws of Arizona, with A.
Emig, of Portland, president; Ode
vile Yates, of Portland, vice-presi-
dent; V. A. Goode and Charles Yates,
both of Salem, treacurer and secre-
tary, respectively These gentlemen,
with NJ L. Gallagher, of Portland,
form the directorate. The United
States National Bank, of Salem, is the
depository for the company, and its
Offices are located in that building,
suite 800.
The starting of this factory means
much for Salem and should be loyal |
ly supported and aided in every man
ner, until it gets on its feet and the
returns begin to come in.
