FAVoRs BUCKET SHOP MEN
Court Decision in District of coum-
bia Yesterday

Washington, March 31.--A setback
was given to the Governments fight
against bucket-shops by a decision of
Justice Wright of the Supreme Court
of the District of Columbia yesterday
declaring the anti-bucket-shop law UNI
constitutional. This decision is the
more striking because six men, COM
posing one of the three groups indict-
ed in various parts Of the country UNI
der authority of the law, have already
pleaded guilty and been sentenced to
fine and Imprisonment The second
group of defendants has demurred
on technical grounds without yet get
ting a judgment, while only the third
group raised the constitutional ques-
ton and escaped.
The Government yesterday noted
an appeal and the question probably
will be argued in the Supreme Court
of the United States. The point on
which the law is thrown out by JUS
tice Wright is the unexpected one
that the law in question, after broad
ly defining contracts in one section,
proceeds to prohibit all contracts,
without restricting the terms to the
special form of contracts obtaining in
the bucket-shop system. So constru-
ed, the court holds that the law is in
conflict with the provision of the Con
stitution against the impairment of
the right of contract.

SOME RABBIT LAW
No Fair Digging Bunny Out From His
FaVorte Stone Wall.

An act which was approved by the
Massachusetts, legislature on March
g. makes important changes in the
rabbit hunting law for that state
which it will be wise for sportsmen
who make practice of hunting these
animals to familiarize themselves
with If they wish to avoid court com
plications next fall.
Section two makes it unlawful at
any time for a person to remove or
attempt to remove a hare or rabbit
from any hole in the ground, or from
any stone wall or from under any
ledge or stone or log or tree. The
gray rabbits when hunted with a dog
very frequently take to stone walls or
logs and heretofore there have been
no legal restrictions about extricating
them from such places provided no
ferret was used. Now, however, if
they take refuge in such places they
cannot be disturbed in any way.
Farmers and fruit growers who
may find rabbits and hares injuring
their fruit trees and bushes or farm
produce may catch these animals in
traps, provided nrSt that such trap
ping is done on land owned or leased
by the person setting the traps and
used for the raising of fruit, veget.
able or other products by the person
so trapping; secondly, that the per-
son so trapping shall have made an
affidavit before a justice of the peace
that hares or rabbits have injured his
fruit or farm produce and shall have
forwarded the affidavit to the commits
sioners on fisheries and game; and
thirdly that the fish and game com
missioners have issued to him a per-
nit so TO trap. He cannot sell hares
or rabbits thus trapped, although he
can trap them at any season OF the
year if all these terms have been
complied with.

WOMAN FISH DRUMMER
Said to Be only One in Business and
She Makes Good.

There is the strongest opposition
have to put up with" said drummer
for a salt fish concern last night in
the Richmond hotel to a Transcript
reporter, and he nodded toward a
young woman who was coming out of
the dining room. She can sell more
salt fish to the farmer storekeepers
than any two male drummers on the
road"
The young woman was Miss Lillian
Sullivan of Springfield, saleslady for
Wilson & Company of Boston, and
has been coming through this section
for the past three years. She is well
known to every storekeeper in Yves
tern Massachusetts and so far as she
kowns she is the only woman in the
business
Miss Sullivan has been remarkably
successful with her line. She has a
good line Of goods and is strictly bust
ness every minute. She enters a
store, shows her line. takes the order
and gets out. She has one advan-
tage over the male salesman, she
doesn't have to pass around the cigars
or stop to tell funny stories.
She has for her territory, Western
Massachusetts and Southern Vermont
and that she has met with success is
shown by the fact that she has had
the same territory for the past three
years.-North Adams Transcript

JACK eINNs CAN'T HAVE s12,5oo
Verdict Set Aside Unless He viii
Knock OFF $4,000

New York, March 31.-Supreme
Court Justice Greenbaum decided Wed
nesday that the verdict for S12,500 OBJ
tanned by Jack Binns the wireless OPP
orator, against the Vitagraph Com
pany of America for using his name
and picture in connection with NOV
ing picture films of the wreck of the
republic was excessive and directed
a new trial unless Binns accepts
$2500.
"To my mind the jury. despite the
instructions of the court as to the
peculiar rule of damages applicable
to an action of this kind, was either
swayed by passion or prejudice or
was perhaps affected by the quite
natural admiration one has for the
heroism of the plaintiff, said the
court.
The court remarked that PLAINTIFF
attorney in his brief asking that the
verdict be upheld adopted the extra
ordinary expedient of quoting editor
ials in the public press commencing
the amount of the verdict in this
case, as we'll as deploring its insuffic-
iency upon glowing misconceptions of
the facts and the law applicable to
the case 1t would be a sorry day
for the administration of justice If it
we're relegated to the newspaper col
umns and it is deplorable that coun-
sci saw fit to attempt to influence
the judgment of the court by newspa-
per citations"
The court concluded that exemplary
damages of s2,500 would be sufficient
for Binns "as a warning to others that
the right of privacy of the individual
must be respected"

withstanding the fact that he is the
ranking Democrat on the committee.
He is to be shut out because he is

the Democrats on the new Ways and
Means committee. Utterances of
the New York congressman in favor
of large military appropriations were
offered in evidence against him by
members of the Ways and Means com
mittee, but it was only by close
vote that Representative May of Vir-
ginia was named for the chairman
ship over Mr.. Sulzer The latter ac-
cording to present plans, is to receive

Pensions on which he was also the
Democrat.
Mr.. Sulzer was anxious to succeed

matter before the caucus on Satur-

FIRE ALARM MYSTERY
People Of Utica Believe Ghost Rings
the Bell

Utica, March 31.-This city has
fire alarm mystery, and people are
about evenly divided in their opin-
ions as to whether it is caused by a
real ghost or by the yagaries of cleo
tricityl
Some months ago the fire alarm
rang in from school house in
Whitesboro street, about noon. The
school is one of the largest in the
city, and several pieces of apparatus
dashed to respond to the alarm in re-
cord speed the firemen entertaining
visions of hundreds of school chill
dren leaping from the windows or
rushing through the halls.
When the school was reached there
was no appearance of fire. The
teachers were surprised to see the
firemen, and the jantor resented
their entrance upon the premises No
alarm had been sent in from the box
The fire chief and wire experts went
carefully over the mechanism and
could discover no reason why the box
should have rung in. The glass Gov
ering the lever had not been tamper.
ed with, the wires throughout the
building were all encased and could
not be interfered with by anybody.
Two or three days were spent in the
examination and testing of the box,
and then the matter was forgotten.
About a month later, at almost ex-
actly the same time of day, the box
rang again Away went the fire ap-
paratus and again the teachers and
pupils were astonished to see the en-
gines, ladder trucks, and chemicals
wheel up in front of a building that
had no fire in any part of It, except
the furnaces Again the fire alarm
box was examined, and, to all ap.
pearances, it had not in any manner
been operated by human hands. There
were more consultations on the part
of experts, more suggestions and
more mystery that was not explained
and then the subject was again drop.
ped.
A few days ago third mysterious
alarm came in from the same school
and within fifteen minutes of the
time of the other alarms from the
same box The fremen again found
conditions at the box in the hall of
the school exactly as they ought to
be.
Even before the ringing in of the
last alarm, stories had been started
by some of the imaginative people in
that section of the city that the
alarms were rung in by ghost. The
school building stands on part of
the site of an old cemetery. Years
ago, when Utica was quite young this
particular site was the only cemetery
AS the city began TO encroach upon
the cemetery, burials were stopped
and the place was fenced in Finally
the city purchased a part of the plot
and used IL for the school site.
1t is recalled by some of the older
railroad men in the city that some
forty or fifty years ago railroad was
constructed through one part of this
cemetery. which was afterward leas-
ed to the Lackawanna They say that
for months after the road was built
great difficulty was experienced with
some switch lights located within the
cemetery lines. They had a provok-
ing way of going out or of disappear
ing altogether, it is claimed, and the
cause was never explained.
