DISSENTING OPINION
IS WRITTEN BY THE
CHIEF JUSTICE
HOLDS THAT INJUNCTION
AGAINST PTTBLJCATION OF "WE
DOKT PATRONIZE?' LIST IN
FUDE RATIQNISTS rs -VTOLATION
OF CONSTITUTION AND
' ABRIDGES FREEDOM OF THE
PRESS.
Washington, March 12. The Court of
Appeals of the District of Columbia
handed down an opinion yesterday sus
taining the decree of Justice Goulxi of
the Supreme Court of the District of
Columbia granting the injunction
prayed for "by the Buck's Stove and
flange Company of St, Louis restraining-
Samuel Gompera, John Mitchell,
JfranJc Morrison and other officers of
the American Federation of Labor
from prosecuting a toyctt against the
stove company and from publishing it
In the Federatlonist, the official organ
of the Federation, under the caption
"We Don't Patronize." Gompers,
Mitchell, Morrison and other officers
the Federation are still restramea
enjoined from conspiring or cora-
duct of the complainant or from aid
ing or abetting In any boycott or in
directly threatening, coercing or In
timidating any person from buying,
selling or otherwise dealing with the
stove company. The jail sentences
imposed by Justice "Wright on Gom
pars. Mitchell and Morrison for dis
obeying the Injunction are sustained.
Chief Justice Shephard wrote a dis
senting opinion. Ami one other things
the Chief Justice safa:
"Assuming that the publication of
the Bucks Stoves and Range Company
in the 'We don't patronize' column of
the American Federation! st was a step
in the formation of a conspiracy to
coerce independent dealers into refus
ing to have further business relations
with that company, I cannot agree that
the publication toe restrained lor that
reason. Regardless of its character
or purpose the publication is protected
from restraint in my opinion by the
First Amendment to the Constitution
which forbids any law abridging the
freedom of the press.
"The liberty of the press 'became an
established principle of the British Con
stitution after a long and arduous
struggle, ,and consists in complete free
dom from any kind of restraint. The
framers of our State and Federal con
stitutions were compelled to choose be
tween the danger to free institutions
that would! result from any abridgment
of the freedom of the press and the
evils that attend the abuse of that
freedom through the frequent publi
cation of matter calculated to wound
feelings, injure character and rights of
property andi provoke the disturbance
of the peace. They preferred to risk
the latter evil."
In conclusion the Chief Justice said
that the only remedy which the stove
company had in the premises wee by
civil action for damages and criminal
prosecution, adding:
"I cannot agree with the terms of the
decree as modified. In my opinion it
should be modified so as to restrain
the acts only 'by which other persons
have been or may toe coerced into ceas
ing from business relations with the
Bucks' Stove and Range Company, but
so as not to restrain the publication of
the name of that company In the 'we
don't patronise' column of the Ameri
can Federationist, no matter what the
abject of such publication may toe sus
pected or believed! to be."

PROPOSED NEW
CITY ORDINANCES
Assistant to Building; Inspector Uusidcred
Other Hatters.
At the meeting of the Ordinance
committee last night there was a hear
ing upon the resolution of Alderman
John H. McMurray relative to the
making of an ordinance which would
provide an assistant building inspector,
who would be a competent mason.
Nicholas F. Byrne of the local ma
son's union appeared and spoke at
considerable length upon the matter,
naming several jobs where he believ
ed better work would have been done
and better conditions exist to-day if
the city had a mason inspector.
J. H. Dougherty another prominent
member of the building craft gave a
rehearsal of the things he noticed in
the building line which escaped the at
tention of the present building Inspec
tor who was obliged to do the work of
three men, looking after the plumbing
work, the carpenter work and the ma
son work on all buildings in the city.
They stated there was a great deal of
mason work which should be inspect
ed while the work wa in progress be
cause it was soon covered from view
by the other work which followed.
Robert E. Hurley, master mason and
member in the Interstate Association
told the aldermen that the office of
mason inspector would be an unneces
sary one. He favored the appoint
ment of an assistant inspector who
should be a plumber as he believed a
plumbing inspector would be more ben
eficial to the health of the city. He
was of the opinion that the matter of
supervision of building was one that
was in the hands of the Building com
mission and the board of aldermen
should not interfere unless the request
for the Inspectorship first came from
the commission.
The committee did not take any ac
tion on the matter but decided to con
tinue it for investigation.
It was voted to plan an ordinance
whereby the clerk of the Fire Com
mission will pay off the members of
the department with cash as is done in
the police department. At present the
clerk makes up the payrolls, the city
clerk draws the checks which require
the signature of an alderman and the
auditor. The firemen apply to the of
fice of the auditor for their pay and
sign the payroll there.
Chairman R. M. Gould was author
ized to draft an ordinance separating
the office of hydrant inspector from
that of captaincy and providing that
the position can be held by a hose
man in the department. The position
is held at present by Oapt. Daniel
Johnson of No. 1 engine company who
also holds the title of assistant chief
in the department. An additional
$100 is paid per year for the inspec
tion of hydrants.
The work for several years back has
been performed by Hoseman Frank
Noonan and he will probably be ap
pointed to the new place when it is
created.
The matter of increasing the number
of patrolmen in the police department
toy five will be taken up at the meeting
i to be held next Monday night in ad-
Council.
Health Officer McLellan appeared be
fore the committee with the draft of
an ordinance which the Board of
Health desired acted upon relative to
the sale, storage, handling and trans
portation of milk. It was laid over for
discussion in the future.

JANER SENTENCED TO
21 YEARS IN PRISON
WOMEN SHOULD NOT
BE GIVEN SUFFRAGE
The debate Wednesday evening at P.
A. L was the most interesting one this
year. The question was the much
mooted one of the present day, that
of woman suffrage. The affirmative
side was very ably defended by Messrs.
Thomas, Van Huesen and Carl Web
ster, while Messrs Lathrop, Radel and
Edgar "Webster argued for the nega
tive. The contest was close and spir
ited) and after much deliberation the
Judges, Messrs. Billings, Stapleton and
lioewith. gave their decision in favor
of the negative.
, Joseph Spittler read a very pleasing
selection and Clarence Blakeman made
a ifSne extemporaneous speech on his
experience as traveling salesman.
The meeting was followed toy an
open debate which was very lively,
many taking part.
His Victim Returns to Her Home ia
Brooklyn Today.
(Special from United Press)
New "Fork, March 12. Catherine
Loersch, the 11 year old sirl whose ab
duction and mistreatment by Joseph
M. Janer, a wealthy real estate man
of Brooklyn, resulted in Janer's sen
tence to twenty-one years imprison
ment in the Maryland penitentiary, re
joined her family In Brooklyn to-day.
The paralytic father and sick mother
were almost overcome when the pale
and trembling slip of a girl, clearly
showing evidences of her terrible ex
perience, stole timidly. Into the home,
after an absence of five weeks.
Mrs. Janer, wife of the convicted
man, also returned to Brooklyn to
day apparently satisfied with the pun
ishment inflicted upon her husband.
It is reported that she affected a set
tlement with Janer before he was led
to prison by which she and her chil
dren will have the full enjoyment of
his big estate.

From the president of the nation
down to the humblest citizen the fas
cination of grip and password en
thralls. It Is not that the lodge is a se
cret organization, though that Is a
part. It is not that its membership is
chosen with caution, though such ex
clusiveness undoubtedly makes it more
eagerly sought. It is not that it gives
direct benefits or that it offers protec
tion to the family when the bread
earner has departed. Not these things
alone make the lodge popular. Greater
than these is the desire for social com
panionship, the love of fellowship, the
power of community of interest. Not
a substitute for club or church, yet fill
ing a place In men's lives that neither
occupies, the lodge has developed the
old time guild idea and fitted It to mod

business, In politics and in society. So
rapidly does it increase In popularity
that it shows little Indication of ever

Laat of the Aristocrats.
"The old French aristocracy dies with
me," cried the Princess de Valmont on
her deathbed. She was a bitter old
soul, who, born of a long line of un
contaminated ancestors and married
to a noble of equally superfine strain,
had, through her husband's death in
financial difficulties, to marry her five
children to "abominable persons" of
high character, but with the blight of
trade or industry In their blood. Her
last years were made mournful to her
by this pitiful descent, and just before
her grandiose last utterance, looking
with a bitter smile at her children and
grandchildren in tears round her death
bed, she broke silence in the following
terrible reflection: "We have here,"
counting on her fingers, "representa
tives of carriage making, wholesale
grocery, confectionery, coal mining and
the stock exchanges, and all grafted on
the old tree of the De Valmonts." New

Bow WnU Yon Like Tilts Butter?
The Moor prepares butter in an
original way and gets a different taste
from the usual one. Fresh butter ("sl
bida," as he calls it), as known by us.
he despises and uses only for cooking
It must be old if it is to be Liked. Af tei
it has lain in a hole In the ground for
some years and has got a certain ap
pearance it becomes a delicacy. To
make butter a goatskin is turnetl in
side out. It is filled with milk, bound
tight and tied to a tree. There it is
beaten backward and forward till the
butter is made. That is why you can
not get butter in Morocco without hairs
all through It. The butter is then laid
on pieces of wood and the maker goes
to sell It. Possible buyers lift the
dirty cover, put In their fingers and
take out a taste and If the goods do
not please close it down again and the
salesman pursues his way.
Iarnmlx Toe Nails.
It has been found by some that the
copious application of dried powdered
alum Is sufficient to cure most cases of
Ingrowing toe nails. The applications
are not painful, and the inflamed tis
sue is dried up, and a hard, resistant,
nonsensitive bed is formed for the nail.
The toe is wrapped In a cloth soaked
in soap and water for twenty-four
hours beforehand, and then the pow
dered alum is poured into the space
between the nail and Its bed, using
cotton to keep the alum in place and
repeating the application daily. The
suppuration, if any exists, rapidly
dries up, pain and discomfort are al
most immediately relieved, and, the
application being repeated for about
five days, a cure usually results.
Crasbflna Bore
An Englishman, complimenting Amer
icans on their skill at postprandial or
atory, went on to discuss the possibili
ty of boring an audience. He said the
severest reproof for a bore which he
recollected was that administered by
the great Talleyrand while driving with
a friend who kept telling him stories.
As they passed through the streets of
a continental town, which In those
days were policed by many sentries,
they observed one sentry yawn at his
post, and Talleyrand said to his friend:
"Hush! We are overheard."
