The famous Cray Injunction is revived '-aid purpose from ordering and directing
and modified. Tt is upheld on two . or notifying belonging tp the^yarlous
points, but on the third point the su
preme court holds that Judge Cray
went too far.
T he opinion by Judge Brown is an
instructive treatise on the conduct of
strikes, and will be read b5 con
tractors and union workingmen with
great Interest.
The unions win on the point they
fought for hardest. Members of
unions and their representatives can
not be restrained by an order of the
court from going on the premis es
where contractors are at work, for t he
purpose of ordering, directing or noti
fying men belonging to the -various
unio ns to stop work, because the con
tractors complain ed of are employed
there,
As to Bocot and Picketing:.
Judge Cray's injunction is sustained
on two points. T he unio ns were prop
erly enjoined from interfering with the
business of the contractors by threats
or intimidation of any kind, directed
against customers or prospective cu s
tomers. It was also proper to enjoin
them from interfering with the cu s
tomers or prospective customers by
threats, or from notifying such cu s
tomers that the plaintiff contractors
were "unfair." These acts constituted
a boycott, whi ch is a violation of pro p
erty rights, and distinctly unlawful.
Judge Bro wn says:

FirstThe granting of a temporary' in

after Issue joined and upon the pleadings
and affidavits of both parties, is for the
purpose of reviewing the action of the
court, deemed to be in effect a finding that
the allegations of the complaint upon
which the writ is prayed for are true,
and upon appeal from the order granting
the writ this court will review the af
fidavits only to the extent of determining
whether they fairly tend to support the
allegations of the complaint.
SecondA boycott is a combination of
several persons to cause loss or injury to
a -third person by causing others against
their will to withdraw from him then

It is true he is not supposed to be
a good politician, but, as a leading
senator said a day or two ago, "He

at that game we have in public life."
Mr. Roosevelt is not overlooking any

naked eye of t he ordinary observer.
During the last three weeks the
president has most effectively check

to induce Senator Hanna to remain

IN SHERIFF'S HANDSf
ALLEGED ALIASES O F J. J. CARLISLE.
Henry Sederberg:,
J. J. Dcbrolls,
J. J. Craig,
Henry Goldstein,
H . Silverstein,
In securing J. J. Carlisle in Wash
ington, D. C , and bringing him to
Minneapolis, Sheriff J. W. Dreg er
seems to have' effected the capture of
one of the mo st versatile and widely
known swindlers and high-class con
fidence men in the country.
From information secured by the
sheriff, it now appears reasonably
certain that at various times in the
past few years, the man now in the
Hennepin county jail and known as
J. J. Carlisle, has assumed many dif
ferent names in t he United States and
foreign countries while furthering
ends which are not reckoned as legiti
mate. Here are the exploits of the
man supposed to be Carlisle:
Long List of Daring Crimes.
Under tho name of H. Silberberg he
went to Chihuahua, Mexico, where he
represented himself as a large cattle
buyer and ask ed McManus Bros, bank
ers, for a loan of $50,000, giving the
I Boatman's National bank of St. Louis
as his reference. T he bankers' tele
gram of inquiry AVHS held up by the
operator, who was either in the
scheme or was misled, and Silberberg
"faked" a favorable reply with the
assistance of the St. Louis bank's
cipher, which he had secured in some
way. H e drew $30,000 from the
Chihuahua bank and left the place but
was captured before he reached the
border and only secured his liberty
after his mother, Mrs. Fannie Silber
berg of Fort Smith, Ark., had spent
$40,000.
A s Jackson Cummings Davis alias
Henry Sederberg, it is charged that
he was arrested on June 25, 1895, in
San Francisco, Cal.. for passing on
J. Macowsky a fictitious draft for $200
drawn on the United States Nation al
bank of New York.
Und er the name of Henry Goldstein
alias Whitney H. Forsythe alias Sil
verstein, the man supposed to be Car
lisle was arrested in Kansas City, Mo.,
Oct. 9, 1895, charged with forgery,
altho a conviction was not secured.
Did Tinio i u Gfermittiy. '
A s J. Cunningrfam TJr'ayton he is'
said to have be en convicted of swin
dling a jeweler in Baden-Baden,
Germany, and served two years in a
German prison. His conviction was

millionaire New York clubman, as

and the Tuck woman had pawned m ~
Europe. T he victim got as far as
New York city before she became sus
picious and dropped t he man.
Returning to El Paso he met Mrs. ,
M. A. McHatton, who advanced him
$10,000 and secured for him the dia
monds. After they were married in
St. Louis he secured the jewels and
pawned them for $5,000. H e wa
made to disgorge jewels valued at
$25,000 and allow ed to depart between
two days. *
His next appearan ce is believed to
have be en in Minneapolis, where, as
Carlisle, his elopment with Miss Bon
nie Hinkle and his subsequent arrest
for alleged connection with the De-.
broils "institute of occult science"
have given him more than local promi
nence.
Mrs. Tuck as t he ''Veiled Lady."
If it is proved that the man now"
awaiting tVial on the charge of hav
ing swindled Miss Clarice Heebner of
Minneapolis out of $250, is Silberberg.
the prisoner's reticence is largely ex-^
plained. It also indicates that h"
spo ke the truth when he told The
Journal reporter that he had in
his possession the material for a*
most dramatic novel.
Also it is highly probable that the
"veiled lady" is the Tuck woman who
went around t he world with him.
In a great many details the record
as secured by" the sheriff's office agrees
with the statements which Carlisle or
Silberger has made about himself. H e
claims to have lived and studied in
Germany, and the authorities and J.
Coleman Drayton say that he served
two years in a German prison. H e
speaks German with great fluency.

the first comment
made by Carlisle when he read the
statement from Detective Vallins of
the St. Paul Pinkerton agency. When
pressed for some further denial of
the detective's claim, he said: "I
have retained Attorney Frank Larra
bee, and he has instructed me not to
talk."
"Yes, I knew of that, or, rather,
I knew it was coming," said Mr. Lar
rabee when he saw the detective's
statement. Later Carlisle admitt ed
that Vallins had spent an hour with
him a day or so ago. "But they have
nothing against me, and they are not
disposed to knockrather the other
thing," he said. "Vallins just came
here to check up. I have no criminal
record and nothing to fear after this
pending case is dismissed. But the
publication of all these stories about
me will make it extremely difficult to
get a fair jury in this county."
Carlisle thought he was feeling very
bad this morning and said his pulse
was down to 55. Dr. J. M. Kistler
disagreed with this, after taking the
patient's pulse. "It is 68. normal.
Get up and dress," said the coun tv
physician, "you need not fear going
back to a cell. You can stay here.
Those clots you coughed up are just
a sign that your lungs are healing.
You are pretty badly scared, but you
mustn't make up your minu that o
are going to die."
cured all the evidence it was possible
to secure, and had offered to pay for
the attorney that Fowler wished to
have assist or take charge of the
prosecution. T he court took under
advisement the matter of taxing the
cost to Fowle r.
The case fell thru from the fact that
the grain commission men are not
taking any interest in it. Again, the
complaint was not proper. There was
no allegation that the Superior Board
of Trade has the seventy-five members
required by the 1895 law to establish
Wisconsin inspection, and this is
where the case fell down again. There
was an attempt to show that the
board has the necessary members, but
it was not successful. It was shown
that there are fifty-three members,
with thirty-seven that hold member
ships and have not paid their dues.
In addition to this, A. C. Clausen,
secretary of the Minnesota state, ware
hou se and railroad commission, tes
tified that the board of trade had. in
1896, asked t he Minnesota officials to
work here, and that any time this re
quest was withdraw n, they would quit.
In Fighting Mood Still.
The case was tried strictly on its
merits. The evidence was simply
along the line of records of the board
of trade and of inspection, the dis
trict attorney himself being convinced
that the case could not stand.
Mr. Fowler stated last night that the
Minnesota inspectors had not w on
their fight. H e says he will seek an
injunction to restrain the Minnesota
officials from working here. This will
bring the action to trial in the circuit
court. Mir. Fowler continues to
make charges against the officials, al
leging crooked work on the part of the
grain "ring." T he board of trade
men agree with him in this, but main
tain that this is not the time to start
Wisconsin inspection.
