JUDGMENT REVERSED
IN PULP PLASTER CASE

Rutland. April 1.-THE United States
Circuit Court of Appeals has reversed
the decision Of Federal Judge Harland b.
Howe Of Burlington involving a judgment
Of $35, 092 30 for the plaintiff In the case Of
Maximus f. Loose and Thomas T.. Baird
vs.. the Bellows Falls Pulp Plaster COM
pany and G. Frank Hendee OF Pittsford.
A sale Of the property Of the defendants,
which had been attached was advertised
by United States Marshal Arthur p. Car
penter in this city yesterday but 1t will
be called off.
The case has been on the docket of the
U. S. district court OF Vermont since Feb
ruary, 1908. 1t is understood that the late
Judge James l.. Martin having heard 1t.
was ready to give decision in II when he
died. A new trial was then necessary and
It was held before Judge Howe who de-
cided for the plaintiffs, The defendants
appealed and now have won the case.
Messrs. Loose and Baird sold the defend
ents some years ago the right to manufac-
ture an elastic plaster under formu-
la Loose and Baird had patented. The
plaintiffs were to receive a royalty OF 80
cents ton for all that was sold In a given
territory. There came a time when the de-
PENDANTS used another formula, but the
plaintiffs asserted that 1t was the same
as that sold by Loose and Baird and
brought suit for royalties.

be known exactly until next week. Court
cases will probably be taken up the rest

week.

PEACE RESOLUTION
ADOPTED BY HOUSE.
Twenty Two Democrats Join
With the Republican Majority
Two Republicans Vote in
Opposition to Measure

Washington. April 9.-The republican
Joint resolution declaring the state OF
war with Germany at an end and repeating
most Of the war time legislation was
adopted to-day by the House. It now goes
to the Senate
TWENTY-FIVE democrats joined with the
republican majority in supporting the res
olution and two republicans voted against
It's adoption.
The vote on the passage of Tho resolu-
ton was 242 to 150, present two.
Before adopting the resolution the House
voted down motion by Representative
Flood of Virginia. the ranking democrat
of the foreign affairs committee. to send
the resolution back to that committee
with instructions to report out substi-
tuate repeating all war time acts. the
vote on that motion was III for and 90
against.
| On the democratic substitute offered as
motion to recommit the only vote
other than that on adoption of the reso-
| luton permitted under the rule. three
| democrats lined up with the republicans
while two republicans Joined. the minority.
| The greater break in the democratic
ranks came on the final vote.
| Chairman Porter of the foreign affairs
| committee claimed after the roll call
\ that ~ more votes WOulu carry tne reoo-
luton over a presidential veto. Democratic
| members however, said a vote on that
question would see party alignment vir-
| tually intact
! The vote ended a two-day battle of
words in the House. The rule was rigid
preventing all attempts at amendment
Of the resolution put forward by repub-
| licans or direct offers of substitutes.
Only the recommitment motion was ac-
| ceptable and there was no preliminary
presentation Of the democratic proposal.
The debate began at II o'clock yester-
| day morning and occupied all the time
| of the House for more than IL hours. 1t
was marked throughout by sharp par
| tisanshp.
Towards the close of the debate, both
sides were reduced to speeches Of a half
minutes length in order to give oppor-
tunity to all who wished to get into the
Congressional Record. The House de-
rived much pleasure, apparently, from
| the bang of the speakers gave as 1t
cut off man after man in the middle of
rolling oratorical sentence. Ironic
speeches and handclapping came from
the opposing faction in each case.
| Congressman Greene and Dale of Ver-
mont voted in favor of the resolution.

CARRIES
HIS OWN STATE
Presidential Preference Primary
Returns Show Wood Second
and Johnson Embellishments
Vote Is Comparatively Light

Chicago. April 13-Governor Frank o.
the face of unofficial returns in the re-
publican presidential preference primary
with Major General Leonard Wood sec
ond and Senator Hiram johnson third, the
lattcrs name being written in by the vot-
ers.
Returns from 4,256 precincts out of $500
in the state gave Lowdon 203659 Wood
1876, 4cS and johnson 37,026.
General Wood carried Chicago and Cook
county, but Governor Lowden's vote in
the State outside of Chicago gave him n
lead which progressed steadily with the
counting of returns.
Only the names of Wood and Lowden
appeared on the ballot. Senator Johnsons
his votes appeared. Herbert Hoovers
name appeared on some of the republican
ballots.
There were no democratic primary
candidates for president, but the names
of more than half dozen democrats
were written in the ballots in scattering
returns.
Governor Lowden and General Wood
were the only candidates who made any
speaking campaigns in Illinois
Women cast a courtesy vote in many
counties, and in some places the election
clerks failed to separate men and women
ballots. The womens vote, however, was
so comparatively light as not to effect
the result, and it was divided in much
the same ratio as the male vote.

enable him to perform. and at the
same rate of pay that the applicant
received in his former position"

| ing conditions for railway and steam
| ship clerks, freight handlers, express
and station employees, and included a
| wage scale calling for a co per cent
| increase for these men retroactive to
