BOYCOTT is UNLAWFUL.
Verdict of $222, 900 Awarded Against
Hat Makers.

Hat Makers.
Hartford, Conn, Feb. TT is
new declaration Of independence"
Is what Attorney Daniel Davenport
calls the verdict of $4,000 rendered
today in the United States court by
the jury in the suit Of D. g. Loewe of
Danbury against 200 hat makers of
this State for alleged conspiracy.
After having been out over two hours
the jury ordered actual damages of
$74,0:o to the plaintiff but as the
suit was brought under the Sherman
antitrust law triple damages can be
recovered. The action grew out of the
boycott instituted against the plain
tins goods following a strike of its
~orkmen in the summer of 1902.
There was a remarkable scene in
court when the verdict was announc-
ed. The defendants in attendance
were stunned for a time and then In
groups dejectedly discussed the blow.
1t is estimated tEat the costs in the
case will amount to at least $4,000.
and these with the counsel fees may
bring the bill against the United Hat
ters of North America to fully $780,
600. The verdict in the case is said to
be the most important of its kind
ever rendered in this country.
The plaintiff, d. E. Ioewe. said
that If he had not won he would have
had to go out Of business.
Judge Platt in his charge practi-
cally instructed the jury to bring i'm
a verdict for the plaintiff. Hhe said
the only question for them to decide
was one Of damages, and these were
to be based upon the losses sustain
ed 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 defendants and the case will
be carried to the federal court Of ap-
peals and the United States supreme
court. The suit, which was for s240,-
600 damages, has been on trial for
IL weeks. 1t was instituted by the
Anti-Boycott society through Mr..
Loewe, but il is understood the
damages awarded are to go to the
Danbury hat makers.

WEPT HIMSELF TO DEATH.
lexington Child Cried So Violently
as to Burst Blood Vessel

Lexington, Feb. 6.-Carlisle, the
2-year-o,d son of Mr.. and Mrs. Hask-
ell Shuli' of near Lexington, died last
night about o'clock, under most
peculiar circumstances. The little
fellow was innocently playing in the
room. when he mashed his finger be-
tween door. The child is said to
have cried with such force as possibly
to cause the rupture of blood vess-
ell, and death soon followed, the little
one crying until death relieved its
suffering. Medical aid was given
the little fellow promptly, and every
thing possible was done to relieve
the trouble. but to no avail. The
child, however, had been having
slight attack of the Group, which no
doubt helped to bring on death.

AVANT STILL IN PRISON.
Slayer OF Mrs. Bigham to be Releas-
ed when he Furnishes $4,000 Bond

Columbia, Feb. S.-W. B. Avant
has not been released from the Peni--
tentiary yet. Capt. d. J. Griffith, the
superintendent Of the Penitentiary,
stated tonight that the bond of So
600, double the original, required by
the Supreme Court, had not been
furnished by Avant.
The order of the Supreme Court is
as follows:
This is proceeding in habeas
corpus for the discharge of the petit
ioner from alleged illegal confine-
ment in the State prison under an
order from Walter H. Wells, solicitor
of the 18th circuit, based upon the
ground that no notice in writing was
served within the time required by
law, (ten days,) signifying the inten-
ton Of the defendant to appeal from
the sentence imposed upon him by
his Honor, Judge Watts, that he be
confined in the State Penitentiary for
a period of three years.
1.-THE question in this proceeding
is not whether the appeal was prop
erly taken, exparte Hutto, IS S. c.,
$50, but whether the solicitor could
make an order directing the sheriff to
rearrest the defndant and deliver him
to the authorities of the State Peni-
tentiary, after the defendant had
given bond under an order of his
Honor, Judge Watts, in which it is
recited that the defendant had serv-
ed notice of appeal
1.-THE order of his Honor, at most,
was only voidable and not void and
could not be disregarded or set aside,
except in a proper proceeding for
that purpose
"As the order of the solicitor di-
recting the sheriff to arrest the de-
fendant and deliver him to the au-
thorities of the State prison was
without authority Of law, the defend
ant is entitled to be discharged from
his present confinement and it is so
ordered, upon entering into a recog-
nizance in the sum of $4,000, with
two or more good and sufficient sur
cites, conditioned to abide the result
of his alleged appeal"

Columbia, Feb. 5.-The appro-
priation bill was handed in today
The total appropriations are $1,777,-
352.82 for this year. Last year they
were $1,632,439.19. The increase Is
$144,913.63. The bill carries an ad-
ditional appropriation for the Asylum
Of $71.000.00. On account of this
being election year it carries $31.-
10000 in excess of last year. For the
Citadel, it carries $35.00000 more
than last year for additional fourth
story to the building and, owing to
the burning Of the Dormitory of the
Negro College $14.000.OO to replace
it, making a total of s15s,5OO ad-
ditional and new appropriations;

carried by the bill this year are

OUTWITTED THE ELEMENTS

There was an unique and comical
scene at the Air Dome last night. The
impolite weather clerk was trying to
discourage the performance by a driz-
zle, but the pictures were too good to
be missed, and soon half a hundred
peopel were viewing them from under
umbrellas. The Air Dome looked like
mushroom garden. and one young
man said it was pleasanter TO take his
girl on a rainy night, because she had
to sit closer. The pictures were su-
perb. The story of "St. Elmo" was
condensed, but for its own good. as all
who have read that somewhat too
lengthy novel can testify, and 'Rastus
in Zululand" simply loosened every
body's ribs. The program for tonight
