John w. Anderson handed down the
decree In the court controversy be-
tween six meat markets Of the city

tory decree restraining the union

on In the strike. but allowing q GER
tain form Of peaceful pickstine.'
which, he said, might be practiced
upon the employees OF the meat mark
cts who filled vacancies caused by
the strike.
"The court finds that the customers
and patrons of the meat markets
were aeeosted by pickets and direct
ed to other markets purporting to be
fair 70 union labor, and tho picketed
places were referred 70 as 'scab'
shops" says the decree. And, as a
result of the picketing. there were at
least two disorderly occasions and
one fight. The unions threatened per-
sonal violence to at least two en-
ployes Of the picketed markets. ana
customers in at least two cases were
warned not to buy from the picketed
shops II they did not wish to suffer
loss IN their own businesses"
The decree further shows that the
meat markets suffered from Is per
cent to 50 per cent decrease in BUSH
ness during the picketins.
The action Of the union IN tho
strike constitutes a private nuisance
as respects the meat markets and the
public and q boycott as defined by
the courts. illegal and uncomfortable
In its inception as the result or OBJ
ject sought by the offending union,
ana caused undue interference with
the plaintiffs business.
The decree perpetually restrains
the unions and all members and Of
ficers from interfering with, haras-
sing or obstructing the meat markets,
prohibits picketing Of the places. for
bids the display Of banners, prohibits
the annoying or harassing of clensr
customers or employees. allows no
distribution of tandbills which nigh,
injure the businesses and prevent,
the union men from coercing any
persons from entering the employ OF
the markets.
George A. Gorder. one of the at
torneys for the union. is preparing to
appeal the decision of the case to tha
supreme court. He asks six months
from the date Of the. decree in which
to file an appeal.

Prisoner in For Fifteen Years and
Escapes From Fort Madison.
Davenport. Aug. 2--Joe Roper, alias
Joseph P. Toohey. bandit, burglar,
and an all around bad man, has
made good his boast that no prison
could hold him longer than q year.
He escaped from tho state peni-
Tertiary at Fort Madison late Fri
day by scaling the outside wall with
the aid of rope and hook. He
was accompanied by John Newman.
serving sentence Of fifteen years.
and Earl McBain, sentenced to life
imprisonment for murder.
Roper and q companion staged a
series OF six holdups in Davenport
early in the evening OF December IL.
He was arrested by the police in tho
railway yards and after trial in
district court was sentenced to
twenty years in states prison.
While confin\d in the Scott county
jail awaiting sentence, Roper made a
desperate effort to escape by at
lacking two deputies with a revolver
late In tho afternoon on Feb. 8. He
was overpowered and sent to the
prison In handouts.
It'll be out in year." Roper told
Scott county officials. Just before he
started on his journey to Fort Madi-
son. THE prison that can hold me
longer than year has not been
built"
Prison officials were informed OF
the threat and laughed. When the
sheriff's party reached the prison
on q bleak day In February after
seven hours Of lighting their way
thru mud roads, prison officials dis
played marked interest In Roper.
Which IL tho man who made the
brag that this prison wont hold him
more than year." inquired the
superintendent.
After looking over Roper. the
superintendent was quoted at tho
time as saying:
II guess We'll be able to show you
something"
The story Of Ropers escape from
the state prison reads like the Prev
ious chapters In his somewhat
checkered career.
Roper was . member Of the prison
baseball team. playing the position
of second baseman. When the team
was called in from practice at $3.50
D. m. Friday and ordered 10 the
shower baths preparatory to being
locked up for the night. Roper. News
man and McBain were missing.
A search was made and the trail
led to the wall where q, rope and
hook dangling from the top told Its
own mute story. The rope had been
cut from the elevator shaft IN the
shirt factory. McBain. who Is a
blacksmith by trade. had fashioned
the hook while tho guards back was
turned.
The escape Il tho first In the his
tory Of Warden Perkins administra-
ton. Seven other convicts have
tried but failed. It remained for
Roper to make good and fulAll his
promise.

Washington. Aug. 27.--Theories are
all right In the abstract, but you never
know they're going to do until you
put 'em into practice.
Which may explain this story and,
incidentally, why the cost of living
has not come down more than IL has
since the government started it's drive.
The facts are these:
Howard II. Figg. ranking as special
assistant to the attorney general OF the
United States in charge of the high
cost of living division of the Department
of Justice. is n bachelor.
Miss Edith c. Strauss, chief Of the
division of women's activities under
Mr.. Figg, is bachelor girl.
Weeks passed. Months passed.
ProftecrS were prosecuted. Other prof
iteers were indicted Warnings were
issued. Agreements were effected: Of
fcials worked day and night TO bring
down the cost OF living. Volunteers
worked night and day 90 bring it down.
Yet all the activities of the Depart
ment of Justice seemed to make two
profiteers grow where one thrived be-
fore. The cost of living scared stopped,
slumped, scared again.

Important alterations and additions
to the city's buildings at Byberry,

cording to information obtained in City
Hall yesterday.
DR.. G. Lincoln Furbush. director of
the Department Of Public Health. visit
ed the Byberry Farm yesterday with
Mr.. Sinkler and went over plans for
many additions to existing buildings
which the director admitted later were
to be made without the assistance Of Mr..
Johnson.
The director is basing his action. il
is understood. on an opinion from City
Solicitor Smyth rendered some time ago,
which is said to hold that the Johnson
contract applies only to the construc-
tion Of buildings provided in the com
prehensive plans for Byberry as John
son prepared them. Under the decision
it is held that alterations or additions
to old buildings on the grounds do not
come within the Johnson contract and
therefore Mr.. Sinklor has been asked to
work out the plans.

There was none. and they went to sleep
on the station platform, only to be dis

morning they got back to New York.
Schultz searched several more hours,
then reported his wife's disappearance.
Faulkner's tale, according to Dis
trict Attorney Martin, differed in some
particulars from Schultz's, and
Schultz's own was occasionally vague
and contradictory, though that might
well have been accounted for in young
man of not very precise habits laboring
under strong emotion.
"As far as Schulz is concerned, we
were unable to ascertain that he had
any visible means Of support" said As
sistant Prosecutor Mccarthy. "He has
not been working for some time. Mr..
Widmer told us that he expected Schulz

had never provided for his wife, and
that whatever money she had she had
