in rows beside the building The po-
lice formed a Gordon about the hall
and a lane was opened through the
crowd and the bodies removed to the
Red Jacket village hall, which was
transformed into a temporary morgue.
For hours the streets were crowd
ed with women calling for. their chill
dren. Both men and women crowd
ed about the building and almost
fought with the police to get a view
of the dead in an effort to learn If
any of their relatives were among
the number Few of the corpses bore
marks of injury
Many tales of the fierceness Of the
crush during the height of the panic
were told One man was seen to
stoop to pick up his little daughter
only to be pushed on and forced to
trample her beneath him.
A woman who ran to the aid of
three small boys was crushed to death
with them.
When the rush began woman

Supreme Court to ExplaiD
Laws of Competition.
WIDE VARIANCE is SHOWN
Absence of Any Prescribed Punish.
ment for Violation of Antitrust
Opinion of Highest Tribunal.

Washington, Dec. 26.-More clearly
defined rules for competition in bust.
ness are to be promulgated by the
supreme court.
Within the last few weeks the court
has directed lower tribunals to send
up cases involving alleged unfair com,
petition for decision, which are ex.
pected to be second in Importance
cisiuns
The law as to patents and trade
marks has been regarded as compare
lively settled, but few cases involv-
ing the domain of unfair cempeti-
tion" in business have come before
the court.
The gravity of the absence of def.
mite rules in that sphere was brought
out in bold relief before the supreme
court recently when a ST Louis shoe
firm complained that it's entire profit
from the manufacture and sale of a
certain line of shoes for four years
was about to be turned over to a Gin
cinnati rival.
The sum amounted almost to half
a million dollars.
Differ Over Punishment.
The st. Louis firm has been guilty.
according to the lower courts, of put
ting out shoe with a name re-
sembling that of competitors shoe.
That was alleged to be unfair.
For the purpose of argument the
st. Louis firm admitted the unfairness
of the transaction, but contended that
the amount of its punishment should
be only the amount of business that
its rival failed to get by reason of it's
act
The lower court held that was not
proper rule for melting out the prop
er punishment, but that the erring
company's entire profits must be
taken away. The supreme court de-
cided to review the case
Many business concerns are said to
be anxious over the outcome of the
litigation. Carelessness in adopting
trade marks is said to threaten them
with the loss of all profits for many
years.

BROKE HORSE OF BAD HABIT
Bag Of Sand, Something Like "Punch.

Quite Simply.

Noah Spears, a Bay Shore farmer
has discovered way to break horse
OF kicking, according to a Milford let
ter to the Wilmington (Del.) News
Spears tells the following story: 81
flled a stout gunny sack with sand and
suspended 1t from the ceiling in the
rear of the stall by rope in such a
position behind the horse that its
heels could have good play upon It,
This large pendulum, needing only a
strong power to start it, would swing
with clocklike precision as soon as
the horse began to play it's acrobatic
stunts upon 1t. At the first kick the
bag swung away, only to return with
more force, giving the animal much
more than it had sent This unexpect.
I'd return on the part Of the bag caused
the horse to kick harder, but each time
the bag returned harder and paid the
animal with interest Finally the
horse, realizing that further kicking
would be fruitless. stopped kicking.
The bag was allowed to hang in the
same position for an entire week, but
no more use for 1t was seen"
