less tyranny, their controlling hours,
wages and condition of work, their
absolute control of the legislative and
judicial powers, drove the structural
iron workers .to terrible rotailiations
againat society." ' ,
This bitter summary of the -dynamite
case was made today by Presi
dent Samuel Gompera, of the Ameri
can Federation of Labor, before the
Senate Judiciary Committee, plead
ing for the enactment of the Clayton
bill, regulating the issuance of in
junctions in labor disputes.
"During the six years' fight all the
forces of organized society were used
against these men, and legal authori
ties aided in defeating the cause of
the iron workers'
Reviewing the trial in the dyna
mite eonsiracy, Gompera castigated
Judge Anderson for alleged partiality
shown the prosecution for and int-
uous remarks in sentencing detemt-
ants and instructing jury. "The press,
telegraph, telephone and cable were
all under corporation contro and
were used against workers in their
struggle for industrial betterment,
though hounded by detectives and in
sinuations are hurled at us on all
sides, yet we will fight for liberty and
the betterment of those who do the
world 'a work, and who pay the price
of our civilization with their blood,
their bodies and their very souls."

Mri. Patterson. .
in Mt. Pleasant. Cabarrus county.
Here he met his wife. After mar
riao. tlsey lived together until Mr.
Anderson's death, almost nve years
ago. Mr. Anaerson never nam nuy-
thinSE' of lus insurance and the policy
was in the keeping of his brother in
Baltimore, who also died some years
ago.' In the brother's papers wis
policy was found, but no one knew
of the whereabouts of its owner.
Finallv a letter was passed between
relatives and a hint of the policy
was made. This started an investi
gation and upon learning the name
of the company in whicn tne policy
was carried the rest was easy.
The Widow was surprised and
greatly pleased to know that a policy
had been issued to her husband in
February, 1865, and that the interest
had been accumulating since his death
whictr took place next February five
years ago,, making the policy worth
$1,294.01.
The Rosary.
The success of Rowland and Clif
ford's play, "The Rosary," doesn't
even approach an end. ; Six compan
ies more of this play have been or
ganized and contrary to traditions
"The1 Rosary'' is repeating its last
year's success.' The unequalled char
acter of the tatholio rnest in " liie
Rosary" leads the way to success for
Edward E. Hose's- ideas, and tne in
tense human interest settled in the
body of the play formulates the heart
interest that will bring success-, to
such ideas as Mr. Rose has collected
to tell the story of "The Rosary."
"The Rosary" with the cast consist'
inir of 'Harry Nelson, Virginia Lewis,
Mabel Thorn, Elsie Orabam, Hitclue

Charlotte Shocked From Center to
Circumference by Untimely Death
From Asphyxiation
Charlotte Observer, 0th.
Charlotte talked oMit tie yester
day but the tragic death of Mrs.
James II. Van Ness, Jr., who was
found dead from accidental asphyx
iation at 1 o'clock Sunday morning
in the bath room of her home, 302
West Fifth street. Nothing that has
hapuened here in years has stirred
the city to profonnder sympathy or
brought to a winder circle of friends
a sorrow more sincere.
The essential facts so far as known
were told in the Observer yesterday
and a more detailed sludy of the cir
cumstances strengthens the theory
advanced at that time, that Mrs. Van
Ness was seized with a fainting spell
and in falling agvinst.the rubber
tube connected with a gas heater dis
lodged the tube with llie .result that
the deadly fumes poured out into the
room, overpowering her sense before
she had recovered from the swoon
sufficiently to aid herself. She had
been subject to fainting spells for
two years. She had recently been
advised by a physician that her heart
action was not perfect and he had
cautioned her against overexertion.
Cabarrus Maidens Did Not Fail to
Exercise Leap Year Prerogative.
The Hon. William J. Bailey, of
Texas, may oppose the initiative and
all other new fangled political nieas-
user but when it comes to the tirst
named there are people who decid
edly differ with him. and they hap
pen to he pretty and winsome Cabar
rus maidens. They may not believe
in t he initiative from political rea
sons but when it comes to other rea
sons they not only believe in it but
practice it. Their views on the sub
ject might be more properly express
ed in a platform plank, "We be
lieve in the initiative for matrimon-
lial purposes or for husband only."
I During the past year leap year
tu more marriage licenses nc issu
ed than during the preceding year,
which shows that when it comes to
"popping the question," choosing a
lifetime partner or finding an athn-
ty the Cabarrus maiden is no sec
ond ratei. In fact the record shows
that she has the Cabarrus youth out
classed, beaten to a frazzle and other-
ise put out of the running when it
comes to matters matrimonial. From
December 1910 to December 1911
there were 265 marriage licenses issu
ed and from December 1911 to. De
cember 1912 there were 310 licenses
issued.

ed That Such Operations Are Ille
gal, as the Corner Would Impede
Commerce.
Washington. Jan. C. Declaring
that "corners" of market commodi
ties are illegal under the Sherman
anti-trust law, the supreme Court to
day held for trial in the New York
Federal Courts, James A. Patten,
the Chicago grain o-rator, and his
associates for alleged cornering th?
cotton market ir. 191C.
, Washington, Jan. 6. Pat ton was
indicted in New York court and it is
declared that "contracts of the de
fendants amounted practically to the
issuance of orders to buy more cot
ton than was produced." The lower
court of Now York ruled that such
operations are lcisal. I'pon the cor
ner becoming effective there could be
no trading except as the conspirators
might elect. The corner would direct
ly imjiede the commerce of the Unit
ed States, and the conspirators must
be held to have intended the conse
quences of their act. This conspiracy
is in restraint of trade.
