STRONG DECISION AGAINST BOYCOTT Judge Habbard of San Francisco De cides in the Case of Goldberg, Bow en Company.

SAX FRANCISCO, Nov. 22. The strongest decision against the boy cott by a union yet made here has been delivered by Judge Habbard in the su perior court in the case of Goldberg Bowen Company, grocers, against the Statesmen's union. Pickets from the union carried placards and trans parencies labelled with "unfair firm don't patronize," in front of the grocery because the firm refused to dis charge nonunion men employed In their stables. The court reviews the law In the case and declares that any organ ization of workingmen is illegal that attempts to hamper trade or coerce their fellow workingmen to become members of the union or quit work.

The gist of his decision is in these words: 'To proclaim a business, or the pro prietors thereof, unfair in this manner, is as infamous as to proclaim be fore a private dwelling that the in mates thereof are prostitutes. The acts complained of are breaches of the peace, and it is safe to say that if met by personal violence on the part of the boycotted, did he so elect, instead of appealing to the law. he would be justified by a jury. It is the opinion of the court that no one may promenade before a place of business of any other person bearing signs, placard or print ed notice of any kind, reflecting on the honesty or integrity or fairness of the business itself or the. proprietors there of." REPRESENTATIVE OF ZEMSTVOS Held Final Meeting Last Evening But the General Public Not Aware of What Has Transpired.

ST. PETERSBURG, Xov. 23. The representatives of Zemstyos held their final meeting here this evening. The order forbidding the newspapers to print any reports of the proceedings has not been withdrawn, and the public generally is not aware of whit has been done at the meetings.

It 'earned that a sort of constitutional charter, comprising seventy clauses, is been framed, and a deputation chosen to present it to Prince Sviatspotk Mirsky, minister of the interior. It is stated thtt the charter sets forth that the Russian state organism is morihr.nd and can only be enlivened by a representative body having a voice in ihe govern ment. It stipulates that the ministers be appointed by the czar, but that they shall be answerable to the parliament. It demands the abolition of special legislation for the peasants and the abolition of special population into privileged and unprivileged classes, declaring that all Rusians are equal before the law. The charter further declares that ukases provisional orders, which have hitherto paralyzed the law, must cease.

The power ot the police to search dwellings without warrants must be abolished, and accused persons shall not be banished without trial. Perhaps the foregoing should not be taken too literally as the substance of the resolutions passed. If such revo lutionary proposals have been made they are probably wrapped in much circumlocution. Whatever their form hose Interested are in nowise, san guine of their realization. It Is said that the success of whatever propo sals have been made depends largely on th progress of the war.

If Generals Kuropatkln and Stocssel arc triumphant, prince Mirsky will be compelled to retreat from his liberal attitude, whereas If the generals are defeated the minister of the Interior will be In a position to further the scheme for the reorganization of Russian internal affairs.

22. Nan Patter son faced a skeleton today, the skele ton being used by the prosecution to demonstrate the course taken by the bullet that killed Bookmaker Caesar Young, whom she is accused of murdering. The skeleton did not scare anybody. The women who had got into the court room again, jumped out of their chairs, stretched their necks until they got a good view of it, and then quickly shifted their eyes to see what effect it had on Xan. She was the most unconcerned woman in the court room.

The skeleton was brought into court when Coroner's Physician O'Hanlon was testifying about the autopsy on Young's body. The idea of the prose cution is to show that Young 'could not have inflicted the wound that kill ed him. Assistant District Attorney Rand will not ask for any expert testi mony on that score, leaving it to. the jurors to decide from the demonstra tions that will be made before them. In another room was a skeleton with which the defense will attempt to show that Young could not have shot himself.

Dr. Hanlon first described 4he wound, saying it began on the chest, two inches below the head of the upper arm bone, and slanted down to ward the center of the body. Th bullet pierced the left lung, struck the fourth dorsal vertebra, went through it, and was deflected upward, finally lodging in the muscles of the back be hind the right shoulder blade. Death was caused by hemorrhage from th pierced lung. Cross examined by Mr.

Levy, Dr Hanlon testified that the skeleton was not a reproduction of the skeleton of Young, whereupon Mr. Levy made a motion that all the testimony and the skeleton be excluded. Justice Da vis overruled him. Mr. Levy asked if the bullet hart not struck the second rib.

Dr. O'Hanlon said that it had not; that it had cut the covering of the rib, but had not struck the rib it self. During the cross examination Coro i.er's Physician Weston sat at the table with Nan Patterson's counsel. Dr. Weston was there as adviser of Mr.

It was brought out that after the autopsy Dr. O'Hanlon had removed from one of Young's fingers two pieces of Skin. At the. time of the autopsy Dr. Hanlon said that there were marks on the finger which might have been powder marks.

These pieces of fkin he had placed between two layers of glass, but today they were shown to him on separate pieces of glass. He was asked if he could identify them and he said he could not. He said, however, that he had turned the skin over to Assistant District Attorney Howard Gans, but Gans and the pro secution will bring out that they were the same pieces of skin' Dr. O'Hanlon had given to Mr. Uans.

Frederick D. Michaels, the cabman who drove Young and Xan Patterson from Columbus circle to West Broadway and Franklin street on the day of the shooting, told of picking up Young and Miss Patterson and being told by Young to drive to "West Fulton street." which he understood stood meant the White Star line pier. Young stopped at a hat store in the Fifth avenue hotel, and bought a hat, then he told Michaels to drive to some saloon. Michaels took them to a saloon at West Broadway and Bleeckei street. Young and his companion got out and had a drink.

Neither was intoxicated, Michaels said. Then the cab continued down West Broadway until he hewrd a pistol shot, just below Canal street. The woman opened the trap door of the cab and told him to drive to a drug store. He finally got to one and the druggist told him to go to the Hudson Street hospital. Miss Patterson called the druggist out of the store.

Although he got off the cab, he never looked Inside to see what had happened. He had heard no quarrel, he said. A young man stepped on the cab arid directed them how to get to the hospital. Beyond that Michaels' testimony was unimportant, save that he said vjthat he did not see a red haired man the neighborhood. Mr.

Levy Is said to have a red haired witness, who says that he was Young In the cab with a pistol in his right hand. Michaels was clumsy in his answers and could hardly be induced to speak above a whisper. The people in court began to laugh, but the laughter stopped when Justice Davis announced: 'There is nothing in this trial to lnugh at. If the laughter Is not stop ped I will have the court room cleared." William Stemm. whose father is a truck man at two hundred and eighty five West Broadway, testified that he was standing in front of his father's place when he heard a shot.

He saw smoke coming from the cab and saw the driver turn around and stop at a drug store. Stemm ran down to the cab, a short distance away, and saw Young with his head In Xan Patterson's lap and his arms hanging In front of him. Captain Lynch of the court squad was again called upon to pose as Xan, while Stemm showed the position Young was in. Stemm said he saw both of Young's hands, but there was not a pistol in either. The door's of the cab were open.

Nan was nervous, he said and "looked as If she wanted to cry, but was ashamed." Stemm rode on the step of the cab to the Hudson Street hospital. He did not see anybody look Into the cab, although Mr. Levy got from hiin that when he heard the shot a street car was alongside of the cab, the back of the car being about at the horse's head. Mr. Levy Is said to have a wit SKELETON COURT is President Rorsveltlatroduces Rev, Charles Wagner, the Author, to a Washington Audience, WHAT THE PRESIDENT SAID WASHINGTON, Nov.

22. President Roosevelt, the author of the 'Strenu ous Life," this afternoon introduced to a wasmngton audience the Rev, Charles Vtagner. of Paris, the author of "The Simple Life," upon the occasion of a lecture delivered by the latter to a fashionable assemblage at the Lafayette theater. The president and his guest drove over from the White House to the theater, and as they marched upon the stage the audiencea rose and applauded and the. band struck up "America." District Commissioner Mac Farland, in presenting President Roosevelt referred to him as a man who led both a strenuous and a simple life, which called forth great enthusiasm from the audience.

Mr. Roosevelt was in a nar ticularly happy mood, and his remarks Introducing Pastor Wagner were frequently punctuated with applause. The president in introducing Rev. Charles Wagner to the audience said he knew of no other book written of recent years anywhere, hereNor abroad, which contains so much that we of America ought to take to our hearts as is contained in "The Simple Life." "I like the book," said the president, "because it does not merely preach to the rich, and does not merely preach to the poor. Mr.

Wagner has well brought out the great fundamental truth that the brutal arrogance' of a rich man who looks down upon a poor man because he is. poor, and the brutal envy and hatred felt by a poor man towards a rich man merely because he is rich, are at bottom twin manifestations of the same vice. They are simply dif rnf cm ih hiiH arrogance that looks down In the one case, the envy that hates in the other, are really exhibitions of the same mean, base and unlovely spirit which happens in one case to be in different surrounding from what it Is in the other case. The kind of man who would be arrogant in one case is pre cisely the kind of man who would be envious and filled with hatred in the other. The ideal should be the just, the generous, the broad minded man who is as incapable of arrogance if rich as he is of malignant envy and hatred if poor (applause).

"No republic can permanently exist when it becomes a republic of classes, where the man feels not the Interest of the whole people, but the interest of the particular class to which he be longs, or fancies that he belongs, as being of prime importance. In an tiquity republics failed as they did be cause they tended" to become either a republic of the feV who exploited the many, or a republic of the many who plundered the few and in either case the end of the republic was inevitable just as much so in one case as in the other, and no more so in one case than in the other. can keep this re public true to the principles of those who founded and of those wno alter wards preserved it; can keep it a republic at all only by remembering that we must live up to tne tneory oi its founders, to the theory of treat ine each man on his worth as a man; neither holding it for or against mm that he occupies any particular station hi life so long as he does his amy fairly and well by his fellows and by the nation as a Whole tapP'ause; If vou here today came here wun th idea of passing a pleasant after noon and then go home and do not actually practice somewhat of what Mr. Wagner preaches and practices, then small will be the use of your coming. It is not of the slightest use to hear the word if you do not try to nut it into effect afterwards.

Mr. Roosevelt talked of the work of the Y. M. C. A.

and other assocla tions and referred particularly to the civic club in New York, which has been started and superintended by Mr. Norton Goddard, and in which the president was much Interested. He explained that it is a club on the east side of New York city devoted to elevating the standard of citizenship. and cultivating mutual self help. Mr, Goddard, he snld, realized that such work can be done to best advantage only upon condition of there being genuine and hearty sympathy among those doing it.

There are a great many peopla so made in this world (most of us come under the category) 'hat they would resent being patronized about as much as being wronged. Great can never be done if it is attemp' in a patronizing spirit. "If we had a sufficient number of clubs of this kind throughout our great cities." the president said, "while we would not by any means have solvei all of the terrible problems that press upon us for solution In connection with municipal mis government and the overcrowding misery, vice, disease and poverty of great cities, yet we would take a long stride forward in the rlsht direction toward their solution." The president told a story of the gen erosity ot a reorient ui naa umtLun, Mr. Downey, who was Catholic, who not only gave a strip of land off his lot order that light and nlr should not stiut off from a colored. Baptist church next to his place, but, actually cut down the plans for a livery stable 'ie had intended bu'ldin on his lot In rdcr to accommodate his colore! eighbors.

Of this incident the presl "ent said; "Now I call that a practical application of Mr. Wagner's teachings. Here Washington we have a right to be iroud of a citizen like Mr. Downey, If only we can develop enough ttch citizens, we shall turn nut just he kind of community that docs not eed to, but will nhvpyg be glad to, urty the 'S'mr le L'fo. the author of vhlch I now Introduce to you."

COUNTERFEITERS ARt ROUNDED IP One of the Most Important Captures In Years Men Were Making Do. lar Coins in Large Quantities.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 22. Secret service men of New York and Phila delphia, aided by local detectives and police, under the guidance of Agent Matthew F. Griffln, rounded up a bold gang of counterfeiters after an all night vigil at nine hundred and thirty six Spring Garden street, this city. Agent Griffin says it is the most important capture of coin counter feiters in years.

The men are all New Yorkers, and have no connections with small fry Italians, who make a few imitation ten cent pieces, which are worked off in restaurants and saloons. Those captured are William Bartlett, Harry Seitz, alias "The Mouse," and Charles Clifton, alias "Bunco" Charley. They were brought to the secret ser vice room in the federal builidng and later were given a hearing before United States Commissioner Bell who held them in $1,500 each for trial. The men were making dollar coins and, of wThey ork them off in the holiday rush in this city and New York. Agent Griffin got word that a large quantity of the raw material was bought in New York and Baltimore some little time ago and set his men n.ntihln0 few tirrfvala II week a man hired the basement of Garden street to carry out business of buving nJ selling second hand furni ture.

This man was Bartlett. One of his early customers was an agent of Griffin's who took the lay of the land and promised to call again. Saturday night Bartlett was joined by Seltz and Clifton. Sunday was a busy day with the trio and they worked most of the night getting their tools and moulds in shape to work and testing the acid. It was past midnight when the vigil of the watchers were rewaraea Dy seeing the men at work.

Agent Grlf fin and Lieutenant Callahan were the first to enter the room, which they did after breaking down the basement door. They covered the trio with thei dstols, and all three threw up the! hands. CORNELL TKAM OFF. StiKtentn 1,00 Stronft Form nm Enrort to Railroad Station. ITHACA, N.

WILL TAKE FORTRESS General Kodama of the Japanese Staff Says His Array will Winter Inside fort Arthur. TnE BLOCKADE IS PEIIFECT CHICAGO. Nov.

22. The Dally News tonight publishes a cablegram from its correspondent with the Japanese troops outside of Port Arthur, reading as follows: General Kodama, chief 'of the Japanese general staff, after a thorough inspection of the operations at Port Arthur and a conference with General Nogl. gave the following interview to the Daily News staff correspondent: "You have seen Port Arthur and may think it easy to take," said the general, "but it is quite i. difficult task. "Of course, it has thirty powerful forts on which the Russians have spent ten years engineering; the natural defences are strong; there Is a stubborn army of fighters within, cleverly commanded." Kodama stretched out his closed hand interrupting me.

"I hold Port Arthur here." he said, "Where will you winter about Port Arthur?" I asked. "You are not building barracks and haye only shelter tents. The Man churian winds bite bitterly." "I shall winter replied the general. "I will take the fortress soon. I hesitate to use my big guns for fear of hurting non combatants.

I cannot say what damage the big guns will do. This is the first time in history that coast defence guns have engaged each other. I brought ours from Japan. The Russians cannot use theirs against Admiral Togo's fleet, and have turned them landward "Why do the Russians not use their guns against the fleet?" Kodama, sketching Port Arthur with semi circular parallel lines represent ing the outer harbor, said: "The outer line shows our mines, the inner the Russlan mines. Our series of electric mines is laid counter te theirs.

If struck by shells they would PIode off the Russian series, j. i mi counter mines, the Russian coast de fences and our. navy must remain in active. The Russian fleet is unwilling to take the Initiative and bo the enemy has, turned not onf the coast defcioe guns, but even his naval guns land ward. "I brought from Japan our coast de reuse mortars and naval guns, you will see two great naval equipments fighting on land.

The question is, are our naval guns, the guns of position and reenforced field artillery more powerful than the Russian naval and coast defence guns now reenforcing the forts." "In the end, however," I Bald, "i not the 'boy in Khaki' the deciding force? Your infantry loss thus far has been heavy and your Infantry must finally take the fortress if it is ever taken." "No." said Kodama, "This is a ques tion of strategy, tactics and engineer ing. I have an army large enough to take Port Arthur. The enemy has about twenty thousand troops; we have about sixty thousand three to one a sufficient force even considering their defences. It would be impossible to use more men. The outcome now depends on ammunition and generalship." "How about food?" I askd.

"It is reported that you permit transports and junks to run the blockade, wishing only the glory of taking the fortress by assault." "That Is absolutely false," replied the general. "Our blockade is perfect. The Russian forts are well built' on the Belgian model. The general situation of the forts also Is similar to the Belgian forts. They are iron plated, toward the sea; toward the land there are only earthworks; with some masonry and a little concrete.

A clever engineer designed them. We find them absolutely changed since the China war when we took Port Arthur In one lay. Then one fort was the key to the whole position. Once that had been taken all the others fell. Now we cannot say that any single fort is the key.

All are so nrranged that we must take them In detail. The capture of one means only the cupture of that Individual fort, not of a series ts formerly. Study as we may, we 'ind It difficult to locate their weakness, they have carried fortifications to such an extent." I'NRl'LY SAILORS. London, Nov. 22.

Nov. 22. The joint commission of the senate and house which has been investigating the ques tion or granting subsidies to American shipbuilders, convened in this city to day. It will at once begin the pre paration of its report to congress, which will be submitted on the open ing day. The commission has visited nearly all the important cities on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, as well as those on the great lakes.

At nearly every place they stopped they gave hearings on the subject of subsidies. Members of the commission say that they have enough testimony to fill several vol umes, and nine tenths of it is favor able to the payment of ship bounties. While the commission has not yet gone on record as to what its recom mendations to congress will be there is little doubt that its report will contain a strong, plea for the enactment of a law that will provide liberal subsidies for American built ships. BEN BOW AIRSHIP HAS ITS TRIAL It Rote to an Altitude of 2,000 Feet Great Crowd Cheered Its Successful Flight. ST.

LOUIS, Nov. 22. Aeronaut T. C. Benbow cut loose from the aeronautic conciurse with his airship at 8:15 this morning and soon rose to an altitude of one thousand five hundred feet.

His ascent was cheered by a crowd of probably two thousand persons, including President and Mrs, D. R. Francis. Benbow's craft drifted in a south westerly direction, as Benbow stated before lie arose that he would not start his motors until sufficient gas had been allowed to escape from the gas bag of his craft to make the as cent perfectly safe. The bag, it seems.

had been overloaded and' Benbow fear ed an explosion, in case the gas ex panded. Benbow's course 'wns south nnl westward until the Philippines reser vation was reached. There he stopped the escape of gas and started the motors working. They responded im mediately. For a few moments the nlr craft displayed considerable dirlglblllty.

The ship was then two thousand feet high and was going in a southerly direction. The Meteor then turned westward. A moment later it turn completely around and started north ward. It seemed to be coming straight back to the concourse. Then It began slgxagging in the nlr.

It looked for a moment as If control of It had been lost. Then It turned westward and disappeared in the distance. Among those present to watch the as cent was Audrey Knabenshue, who made the successful flights with the Baldwin airship. At 4 p. m.

the Benbow airship came down and landed at Llndenwood, three miles south of the world's fair. A number of persons had followed the course of the Meteor In automobiles, and these came up shortly after the aeronaut had come to earth. To Deport Chinamen.

BANK ROBBER FOILED Lone Uaiidit Attempls to Hold Up Hit Tlatte Centre Hank and is Afterward Captured.

TRIED TO KILL THE CASITO LINCOLN, Nov. 22. A Ions bandit, an amateur in his line, attempted to rob the Platte county bank of Platte Center. today at noon, but took fright after an Ineffectual effort to kill the cashier, and was cup tured as a result of a thrilling chase by the sheriff In an automobile. The bandit rode up to the bank, tied his horse near the side entrance and entered the bank when Cashier Barney Schroeder was alone.

He demanded the money on tho counter and when the cathler refused he drew a revolver and fired at close range, the ball striking Schroeder full in the breast and felling him to the floor. The robber next ran around the counter to grab the money, but William Schelp, a clerk irthe bank who had heard the shooting, came running in from a rear room. At the sight of Schelp the robber took to his heels, jumped Into the saddle and rode at high speed out of town. The village marshal made hasty use of the telephone lines to all surrounding towns, and posses were organized at a dozen points to take up the chase. Sheriff Carrlg, with two deputies and a physician, mounted an automobile and drove hurriedly to Platte Center where an examination of Cashier Schroeder disclosed that the bandit's bullet had spent its force against a vest button and had only slightly torn the flesh, the man being practically uninjured.

Returning to the chase Sheriff Carrlg, still driving the auto, learned that the robber had headed southwest and a chase of twenty miles resulted in his cature. The robber's horse was exhausted and could go no further, althougn he showed fight and 'fired several shots, none of which took effect, before surrendering. The bandit gave his name as Blll Holden and claimed to hail from Michigan. He Is apparently about thirty five years old. Holden was taken back to Pla'to Center where he was recognized by the cashier, despite the fact that he had changed a portion of his clothing and had removed a glass eye.
