Mysterious Letter Found in
Room Where Prominent
Man Shot Himself.

Two hairpins found in the touring
car driven by II snry Humphrey Par
sons, wealthy young lawyer who com
mitted suicide in the bathroom Of his
aunt's home at Purchase, Westchest-
er County, early Thursday morning,
are the only clues the police of Har-
r.son have in their effort to unravel
the mystery surrounding his death.
The halrptns were found this morn
ing after they had ben overlooked in
the first hurried search of the motor
Capt. Andrew Munroe, Chief Of Po-
lice Of Harrison, who Is conducting
the Investigation said they are the
first intlmation that "a woman might
be involved in the suicide.
"There is no question that the death
of Mr.. Parsons was a suicide" said
Munroe day. "The cash under his
right eye from which he was bleeding
when he arrived home about 5.SC
Thursday morning was inflicted by q
sharp knife or a razor, and we arc
trying to find out exactly how he
came by such an injury.
There is talk of a man answering
Mr.. Parsons's description having been
in a dispute in the vicinity of Hun
ter's Island. but We have not as yet
been able to verify this story or tc
connect Mr.. Parsons with It"
After making as careful and COM
plete an investigation OF the suicide
as possible, DR.. John Stella, Coroner
for the district, said to-day he be-
lieved Mr. Parsons had killed him
self in a fit of melancholy followinI
fight probably over a love affair.
"I have not been able to get all th'
facts l would wish in this investiEa'

New trails and old ones which had

investigators and one Of these 10 in
connection with row Elwell Ia al
legged to have had with a 'horseman.
One Of the theories advanced a week
ago by the Investigators was that
this row might have led to the mur-

II was over a gambling debt that
the alleged trouble with the horse
man occurred and In tho story as
vaguely told the murdered man ap-
peared in the character OF a "quit-
ter In a roundabout way It comes
TO the police that threats were made,
but whether they were seriously
made or were carried out Is another
Of the problems with which the in
vestlgators are wrestling.
The investigators confess them
selves puzzled for the reason that 50
many mystifylng angles have been IA
jected into the case, not the least con-
fusing OF which is that Elwell's esed
pades with women were so varied.
According to Edward Rhodes. his

intimated, is that It involves the good

Amalgamated Clothing Work

Picketed Factories.
CASE IS CALLED TEST.
Company Charged Threats
Made-Union Contended it
Used Legal Methods.

ROCHESTER,, N. Y. June 19.-Jus-
tice Adolph ]. Rodenbeck in the Su-
preme Court of New York to-day
handed down a decision sustaining
the Michaels Stern Clothing Company
OF this city in It's suit against the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers OF
America for permanent injunction
and 100000 damages.
The deeisiar declares that no labor
union has the right TO make itself into
a Iaber monopoly and says that tho
Amalaamated tried to do so by en-
deaVOrins 10 undermine secretly the
United Garment Workers Of America,
the American Federation Of Labor
union which was recognized in tho
Miehaels Stern's factories.
Justice Rodenbec1S declared tho
American principles OF equal rights
and equal opportunity for all, per-
sonsl liberty and freedom of action
interfered with by all monopolies of
whatever kind He said that tho
manner in which tho strike Of the
Amalgamated against the company
was conducted was made a conspiracy
by the use of threats, intimidation
and violence, no matter what the in
tention Of the organization at it's in
eeption,
The liability for damages against
the Amalgamated, however, does not
extend against the individual mem
bers, who are not specifically con-
nected with the acts of violence and
the like. The decision warns that
ultimate success in the labor move
Hnent does not lie along this line, but
in the direction Of a peaceful exem-
pliFioation Of a just and reasonable
administration of the affairs Of the
union, with advantage not only to
employers and employees, but to the
public as WE'LL"
UNION TRIED TO ORGANIZE EN-
PLoYEES.
The suit grew out of an attempt
by the Amalgamated Clothing Work
ers of America 10 organize employees
of Michaels, Stern & Co, a Rochester
concern making mems clothing, and
to negotiate an agreement with the
company on their behalf. The case
attracted wide attention because II
was considered that it would serve as
n test case to determine how far a
labor union was justified in applying
economic pressure against an EN-
ployer and what means lawfully
might be used by union in enforcing
it's purposes.
