DISCOVER A Den
Of C0UNTERFE|TERS
Canadian Police Officials Raid Shack
Near Lavaltrie; Five Ar
rested.

Montreal, Que, Dec. 20.-By a
raid on a shack in the woods five
miles from the village of Lavaltrie
yesterday the police unearthed what
is believed to be the source of one
of the most important counterfeit
ing schemes discovered in years in
this section. Five men were arrest
ed in the house where the plant was
located and a sixth man was made
prisoner in Montreal Their names
were kept secret at first but when
the prisoners were taken to Toilette
it was learned they were Bartholo-
new Caron, Frederick Eaton, Edourd
Pearisiene, Philip Bousquet and
Eugene Gagne. The man arrested
here is Alfred Grenier, an engraver
employed by the Herald Publishing
company. The police claim to have
seized an elaborate counterfeiting
plant including printing press,
plates, specially prepared paper and
everything necessary for the coun-
terfeiting of United States SO gold
certificates. Chief Detective X. P.
Caskill said that the house where
the gang operated was fitted up like
an arsenal. Shotguns and revolvers
and plenty of ammunition were
found and the gang evidently in
tended to fight had they not been
taken by surprise.
It was before dawn when the po-
lice reached the house. They
smashed down the door and rushed
in with drawn revolvers and were
upon the alleged cOunterfeiters be-
fore the latter awoke.

CASE DECIDED
AGAINST UNIONS
New York Federal Court Holds
Antitrust Act is Ap-
plicable. ...
JUDGMENT IS AFFIRMED
Plaintiff, D. E. Loewe, is Awarded
Large Sum Because of Boycott
in Court for Years.

New York, Dec. 19.-The Unite,
States court of appeals yesterday de
cided the famous Danbury hatters
case in favor Of D. E. Loewe & Co.
the plaintiff, and against the Unitet
Hatters of North America. Thu
court affirmed Judgment in favo
of Mr.. Loewe and against the hat
ters' association for $4,000.
With interest and costs the judg,
ment now amounts to $272,000. Al
the first trial held in 1909, the plain
tiffs obtained Judgment for 1892.
240. Judge Coke directed that II
was no longer debatable, that the
antitrust act is applicable to such
combinations as are alleged in the
complaint, and that the act made
no distinction between classes Of
combinations or individuals.
The court held that it had been
clearly established that the plaintiffs
were engaged in an interstate bust.

members of trades union, and af.
tiliated with the American Fedora.
tion of Labor, lone of the objects OF
the latter organization being to as.
sist its members to any justifiable
boycott and with financial help in
the event of strike or lockout
1t was shown at the trial that in
March, 1901, the United Hatters had
resolved to unionize the factory of
the plaintiffs and that Mr.. Loewe
had been Informed by the union Of
ficials that the hatters would resort
to the usual methods in case their
plan should meet with opposition.
On July 5, 1912, the plaintiffs en-
ployes were directed to go on strike,
and it is claimed that almost immed-
lately a boycott was established. The
plaintiffs assert that this measure
converted profit of $4,000 in
1901 into losses ranging from ST.
600 in 1902 to $4,000 in 1904"
Judge Coke said in conclusion of
his finding:
mo one disputes the proposition
that labor unions are lawful. All
must admit that they are not only
lawful but highly beneficial when
legally and fairly conducted, but
like all other combinations, ire
spective of their objects and pur-
poses, they must obey the law"

GYPSY KING
Des Moines Detective to Chicago to
Arrest John Mitchell.

Des Moines, Dec. 2O.-Another
chapter in the wierd financial trans
actions in the marriage of Mary
Mitchell, the beautiful 16-year-old
daughter of John Mitchell, the
gypsy king, was begun yesterday
when Detective Thomas Denholm

ell on charge of attempted extor-
ton of $4,000 by threats of arrest.
George Bimbo last summer wooed

arrest unless $4,000 more was paid.
1t is for this alleged threat that the
warrant was sworn out.

had been warned against entering
the pasture where the bull was kept
but wanted to secure something in

a clump of trees when attacked. The
torn-up ground, barked trees and
torn condition of the mans clothing
gave some indication of the fight

death after he had fallen exhausted.
He was one of the best-known men

ITEM IN HIGH COST OF LIVING

Des Moines, Dec. 1S.-While the
number of schoolhouses in Iowa is
on the decrease and the number Of
children of school age is not as great
as formerly, school house property
increased nearly million dollars in
value last year and nearly two mill
lion was spent in the year for all
school purposes more than the year
before. This is one item in the high
cost of living not to be overlooked
According to the report of the
superintendent Of public instruction.
soon to be issued, the total number
of school houses in Iowa at the close
of the last fiscal year was 1883,
and they are valued at $3O,422,0O0.
Of these schoolhouses only 1910 are
reported equipped with flags, so that
the law about displaying the flag ev-
cry school day is not observed at all
places.
The number of persons of school
age, between 5 and p years, found
on the count for school purposes,
was 671, ole, which is about 1000
less than in the year before. The
actual enrolment was 5O7.S45, and
the average daily attendance was
369,374. This latter is nearly 5000
larger than before, so that it is evil
dent more nearly all the pupils are
attending schools.
The expenditure for all school
purposes in Iowa was $16,442,528.
of which $9,614,221 went to pay
the teachers and s6.S2S,307 for 9TH
err purposes. The average compensa-
ton for teachers has been increased
and last year it was, for males.
$S3.2O, and for females S49.91.
There is an increase in the bust
ness of transporting plpils. There
We're closed last year 1877 schools,
and the number of districts trans
porting pupils at public expense is
81.
