THE GROWTH OF THE COMMON
'g5 e y ". LAW Il

y (. III & + 10 7.
III In an opinion written by Judge
Gaynor, the Supreme Court Of this
state has recently set aside the old
rule, that what a man has q lawful
right to do, he may do, no matter
what his motive may be, and no mat
ter what injuries may result there
from to others.
s The case was one in which a furni-
ature company set out to destroy the
business Of a former employe who
had set himself up in business as
dealer in certain sewing machines for
merly handled by the company. APP
parently the company had pur-
chased few; secondhand machines
Of the same make as those sold by
their competitor, and was using them
more for advertising purposes than to
sell to customers. !.
They advertised these secondhand
machines at very low prices and in
\ that way seriously injured the other
dealer. 4!
The court gives this reason for abb
rogating the old rule:
. AS civilization advances, and
the social and bus mess conditions
4 become more involved and compli-
5iSsS Gated, when even legitimate COM
peution has become SO strong
that even honest men are tempted
to force their way beyond the linn
its Of legitimate competition,
the law---Which is a rule Of civil
conduct for the government Of
q men in their social and business
relati onships ought to keep pace
with the new conditions.
S54 The case before us does not
present a case Of lawful competi-
ton, but a case Of simulated or
pretended competition, designed
K and carried out with malice, for
the purpose of injury to the plain
tiff in his business. & Y; .,: ,@*
s7i And the court sustained judgment
for the damages resulting from this
unlawful competition.

IS CAPTURED
AFTER MURDER
Gus ATTACK
Brother of Former Pennsylvania
Governor Wounds Ross A.
Hickok.
HE FIRES SEVEN SHOTS.
Shoots Through Doorway After Be-
ing Ejected-Battle With
Police.

Harrisburg, Pa, May 17.-Will-
lam Hastings, {. brother of the late
Gov. Daniel H. Hastings, made
murderous attack last night on Ross
A. Hickok, husband of the former
governors daughter, at Mr.. Hickok's
residence in this city.
Seven shots were fired at Hickok
by Hastings from an automatic re-
volver in a hand to hand struggle in
the hallway of the Hickok residence.
Only one bullet took effect. The
wound is believed to be not serious.
Hastings was arrested after des-
perate struggle with the police, in
which a score of shots were eXchang-
ed. Hastings himself received a bull
let wound in his right arm.
Years ago Hastings, who is IS
years old, gained notoriety by public
attacks on his brother, the governor,
whom he accused of having deprived
him of his share of money belongin g
to the family.
He went to the Hickok home here
last night and demanded to see Mr..
Hickok. When the latter ordered
him from the house, Hastings drew
a revolver and began firing.
Hickok, who is of athletic build,
hurled him through the doorway.
Hastings began firing again, sending
four bullets through the door, one
of which struck Hickok above the
right hip.
Hastings then hurried away. The
police were notified and half doZ-
en- gave chase. When overtaken he
opened fire on the police. A fusil-
lade followed during which Hastings
emptied three revolvers. When a
policeman's bullet broke his arm, he
was overpowered. During the me-
lee Louise Knisely, aged 9, who was
standing near, was shot in the leg.
Hastings was taken to the county
Jail. His mind is believed to be I'M
balanced.
Ross Hickok, who is secretary of
the Hickok Manufacturing company,
was a prominent athlete in his COL
lege days at Yale from which univer-
sity he graduated in 1897. He was
a star hammer thrower and at one
time held the intercollegiate record.
He was also a member of the vars
ity football team.
After being committed to prison
Hastings declared he had not meant
to Kill Hickok, but merely to scare
him
A charge of felonious assault has
been preferred against him.

CABINET CONCERNED
OVER JAPAN ISSUE
Impossible Longer to Conceal Ad-
ministration's Anxiety at
Situation.

Washington, D. c., May 17.-Ser-
ious anxiety is felt in administra ton
quarters over the japanese situation.
1t has become impossible longer to
conceal this. Official denials, putting
on of the soft pedal, beautiful gener-
alities about peace cannot veil the
hard fact that the president and the
cabinet are gravAT concerned over
the outcome of the exchanges with
Japan.
California appears to be within
the letter of the treaty. The presi
dent takes this view. The present
complications are proper ones for di-
plomatic representations, but they
are no cause for war. Indications
are that the wisest men of the Japan
csc government see this, but the
question is whether the. lingo ele-
ment there can be held down and
whether that element, plus like
element in this country will not lead
matters to dangerous lengths.
Another factor in the situation is
the utter unpreparedness Of this
country for war, the unreadiness of
both navy and army conditions,
which it would take months and
years to overcome.
The only way out of the tangle
appears to lie through exchanges for
a new treaty which will remove mis-
and prevent friction
and i'll feeling. The best that can
be said about it is that the admins
tration hopes to steer things through
this channel. The president and
cabinet officers would feel better,
however. if the tone Of japanese
newspapers close to the government
were less openly anti-American.

STRIKE CLASH
TWenty-six Arrested as Result of
Demonstration in Gin
cinnati.
MOB THREATENS A CREW
Mounted Police Rescue Strike
breakers From Angry
Crowd.

Cincinnati, O., May 1.-Two men
and a youth were slightly injured
and twenty-siX men were arrested
yesterday afternoon charged with
disorderly conduct as a result of an
attempt to interfere with the opera
ton of one of the lines of the trac-
ton company whose employees are on
strike. The demonstration occurred
shortly after noon in the heart of
the business portion of the city.
1t was precipitated, it is stated, by
boys overturning a large garbage
can in front of a Clifton car, which
line renewed service yesterday. A
large crowd had assembled to wit
ness the parade of labor unions in
sympathy with the strikers and
when it was rumored that the mo-
torman of the car had struck a boy
with a club a violent demonstration
was started.
Mounted police rode into the
crowd and rescued the crew of the
car and drove the mob back to the
sidewalks. No shots were fired, but
missiles of various kinds were
thrown. The demonstration lasted
half an hour before the police final
ly had the crowd in control.
In the afternoon hundreds con-
gregated about the scene and hooted
the nonunion employees. From time
to time the police made arrests of
the more violent members of the
crowd. Attempts were made to in
terfere with running Of cars by
blocking the tracks with wagons.
but traffic officers kept the right of
way clear. AS darkness approached
the cars were withdrawn and last
night the tie-up is as complete as it
has been since the strike began.
About $500 men were in line in
the parade by labor unions to the
Cincinnati ball park, where speeches
were made by union leaders. The pa
rade was orderly and the meeting at
the ball park was devoid of anything
spectacular. The men were coun-
selled. to avoid violence and to re-
main true to their newly organized
union.
Mayor Hunt and officials of bust
ness organizations attempted to
bring about a settlement of the
strike yesterday, but their efforts
were fruitless

TRY
TO WRECK EXPRESS
Startling Sequel to Note of Warning
Affair has Caused Sensation.

London, May 17.-There was a
startling sequel yesterday to the
warning received by the officials Of
the Midland railway on May II in
the form of an anonymous letter
which said:
ut is my duty to inform you that
a desperate act will be attempted in
a few days to wreck a main line ex-
press"
Two men giving the names of
John Wilson and James Lucas were
arrested by daybreak on a high via
duct near Whalley in Lancashire,
which carries the Midland tracks
connecting Manchester and Liver
pool with Scotland.
Crowbars, sledge hammers and
other tools were found in the vicin-
ity. The prisoners were remanded
for a week in custody.
The affair has caused a sensation
I'll ouSHout Lancashire, where IL is
firmly believed the men were about
to attempt to realize the militant
suffragette threat to wreck a main
line express train.
A bridge over the Great Western
railway near Westbourne Park sta
ton. in the west end of London. was
also the object of a suffragette bomb
attack yesterday. The canister US
ed was filled with cartridges enclos-
ed in cotton wool which was satur-
ated with paraffin oil The attached
fuse had been ignited but had gone
out.

DR.. RUSSELL DENIES

Tells Conversations With Thaw's
Attorney.

New York, May 17.-Dr. John w.
Russell, former superintendent of
the Matteawan state hospital for the
criminal insane testified in the SUI
preme court yesterday and related
conversations he had with John N.
Anhut, a lawyer on trial charged
with having attempted to bride the
doctor to secure the release from the
Institution of Harry X. Thaw.
The court ruled out the questions
with reference to any conversations
the witness may have had with
Thaw. Thus the doctor was not per-
mitted to affirm or deny Thaw's tes-
timony of Thursday that DR.. Russell
proposed to release him for a consid-
Grafton.
The doctor described a meeting
with Anhut in this city on Nov. %.
last "Anhut said to me-" said the
witness, Doctor have $4,000 here
and any part of this is yours if you
will discharge Thaw. l replied that
could but would not, as it would
be as much as my position and hon
or was worth. That was all said
and the subject was dropped"
DR.. Russell's testimony was SINH
lar to that he gave at Albany when
a commission appointed by Governor
Sulzer was investigating the Thaw
matter.

FALLING RAPIDLY

After the big ice jam broke below
the city last week the waters Of the
Missouri receeded rapidly and at
present there is little more than a
normal stage prevailing. Friday and
Saturday the river was full OF ice,
which was moving out rapidly. Sun
day morning the river was almost
clear. Along about noon however the
channel was again covered with ice
coming from a gorge, which had
broken far above us. BY afternoon
Monday the river had again cleared
of ice, and reports from above indi-
Gated that it had nearly all passed. A
large amount of timber was carried
along with the ice during the two or
three days that it was running the
heaviest. Some of this was lumber
and bridge material being used at
places west of here, which was carried
away in the breakup.
