Many of us who are caught by the
high cost of living would probably
take kindly to departing this life ex-
cept that we are met on the way out
by the high cost of dying. A mill
lionaire who Gi.,d last week pat in his
will that the coffin should not cost
more than $50, and his distressed
family had to hunt all over Chicago
for some one who would agree to
put out box for the remains at that
price,

lutte (hont.) Man Receives
$500 and Public Apology
in Suit Settlement.
SETTLEMENT OUT OF COURT
Sheriff Acknowledges That Harrisor,
J. Freebourn Was unia~fuily and
WroRgfuIly Jaiied-amportant
Bearing on other Dis
loyalty FraFe-Ups.

Butte, Mont.-Tre suit brought
by Harrison J. Freebourn OF this
city against those ~iae unlaNdufly
threw him into jail on false
charges Of disloyaity has been
settled out Of court
Freehourn received az consider
alton $500 in damages and a pub
lie apology.
The assault on Freehcurn easi-
IDENTIFY grew out Of the desire OF
certain persons 10 hurt his rePn-
tatIon 40 a leader ia the city and
10 get even with him for appear
ing before the draft board In de-
tense Of two Swedish citizens wAe
were by treaty exempsed from the
draft
Suit for $4,000. 4
After his arrest he began suit
against the sheriff and others respon.
sible for the act, including the Butte
Miner, local paper which rushed into
print with scurrilous and disgusting
account of the affair. Freebourn
asked $4,000.
The case, while in no way connected
with the Nonpartisan league, is ex-
pected to have an important bearing
on league affairs, because copper
trust henchmen in public Office have
been guilty of many such assaults on
league leaders and organizers.
The public apology made by the of
fcer chiefly responsible reads as fol
lows:

Trade Commission Protests
COfbine Of Pattern Makers

Washington, April 1.-The federal
trade commission today issued formal
complaint against the Butterick com
pany and subscribers and the Pictorial
Review company two pattern-making
companies of New York City and have
ordered them to appear before the com
mission for hearings on May 13 and
IA, respectively.
The Butteriek company, it is charged,
have contracted with some 10000 re-
tail stores for the maintenance of fix
ed resale price on Butteriek patterns
and for exclusion of competing pat
terms and have refused to sell patterns
to stores which insist on re-selling to
the public at their own prices.
The Pictorial Review company it
was stated has entered into contracts
with many thousand retail drygoods
stores providing that it will repurchase
out Of date or unsold patterns only on
conditions that its standard resale
prices are observed and the patterns of
competitors excluded from sales,
The action of these two companies,
il is stated, cuts out all competition in
a large percentage of the retail dry
goods trade.

lrish-AmeriCan Delegates
To Peace Conference DELAYED

New York, April 1.-Sailing of the
steamer LaTouraine carrying the Irish
American delegates to the peace con-
ference was delayed today. At 1880,
half an hour after the scheduled hous
for departure, the ship still was at her
dock and the delegation had not ap-
peared. Owing to the lack of tugs, it
appeared likely La Touraine would not
get away before tonight or possibly
tomorrow morning. A big crowd of
Irishmen was at the pier, waiting to
cheer the delegates when they arrived.
The delegates are Frank p. Walsh,
formerly Of the national war labor
board; Edward +. Dunno, ex-governor
Of Illinois and Michael J. Ryan, law
yer, Philadelphia.
The purpose of these men, who were
selected at the recent Irish convention
in Philadelphia, is to ask the peace con-
ference to hear the accredited dele
gates Of the Irish republic, who ask
self determination.

For BOISheVisn In America

Coonley, vice-president Of the shipping
