VERDICT OF JURY
IS FOR ROQSEYET
(Continued from Paga One.)
The question put to the Jury waa whether
machine government or government by
tha people should prevail, and the latter
has prevailed. The article In the suit
wag held by toe court to be libelous In
two aspects. '
"First Because It charged a corrupt
political alliance between William Barnea,
the republican leader of tha state, and
I Charles F. Murphy, the democrat!
!' leader ef tha state, la relation to the
; stats government. (This, the Judge held,
was the meaning and purport of the ar-
tlcle taken as a whole.)
' ".'Second Because the article charged,
! that the plaintiff had worked through 4
1 uorrupt alliance between crooked busi
ness and crooked politics. The Jury was
further instructed that It must render a
verdict in favor of the plaintiff, unless It
found that the defendant established to
Its satisfaction by a fair preponderance
ef evidence that both charges wef true.
This burden was successfully borne by
Mr. Roosevelt..

claims for fees by attorneys In divorce
proceedings, end argument In favor of
Payment of said fees, had been argued
ffy the attorneys. : ,
Justice Fawoett spoke up during the
argument and said, "You do not need
to argue this case any farther, as far
aa this part of the court la concerned.
as I am sstlsfted thst the claims should
be allowed' and suggested that the court
might have made a mistake In allowing
ta dlvoree to Mr. Bolton.
"( would Ilk to hats the attorneys
know that I have not made up my mlud
on this case," said Justfcso Letton.
Senator Burkett, with a touch ef sar
casm, remarked, "1 had assumed that the
court would not pronounce Judgment,
without at least giving the attorneys on
both sides- the courtesy ef reading the
brlofs." '
The epleode created something ot a

kept quiet until today. Judge Fawcett

to leave at 2 o'clot k In the afternoon In
order to keep a 3 o'clock appointment
with Dr. Hanfom, a di.ntist. The ap
pointment was not kept. She was fully
clothed In a street gown, apparently ready
to leave the house, when attacked,
though she wore no hat.
About the hotlsc could be found no
tlsn of a strungle or other violence.
Investigation tends to Indicate that the
girl mlfcht have been taken unawares
and choked Into silence while upstairs,
snd then carried Into the coal bin In the
cellar, where the murder occurred.
' Mrs. Brkes Makes Discovery.
Mrs. Sykes, a prominent worker In
Pnbterlsn church circles, returned
from a sewing circle meeting nbout 5
o'clock, arid after attending to her flow
era, oiitaidc, unlocked the front door and
entered.
Khe noted the absence of the domestic,
but did not think It strange. When Mr.
Sykes came home from his office shortly
after ( o'clock, and the girl was still
missing,' Mr. Sykes prepared the evening
meal herself During the meal Miss
Swanson'a tardiness was, discussed. It
waa the flrr time she had ever failed
In her duties.
Mr. Sykes is saslatsnt to general Man
ager Ware of the Union Psclflc.
It waa at T:U o'clo.-k that .Mrs. feykca
suddenly thought the girl might possibly
have fallen down the cellar step.
With some misgivings, she lighted the
cellar lights, snd went down.
A pool of blood greeted her eyes and
she cried out snd swooned. Mr. Sykes
ran downstair and opened the coal-bin
door, from whence emanated tha stream
of blood, an.l disclosed the body.
It hsd apparently been lifeless for sev
eral hours.
Tho hatchet with whlh the crime wa
committed has been In ths Sykes cellar
for somu time, It wa found nearby.
Wo Cine la Foaad.
Police canvass or the neighborhood
failed to develop any description ot per
sons leaving the Hykes home. Captain
Dempsey and CMet of Detectives Maloney
kept a squsd of police ar.d detectives at
work all night running to earth possible
clues, but at S o'clock nothing new wss
brought to light
Half a dosen young men acquaintances
of tho girt were brought to headquarters
and questioned, hut each wag released In
turn, tho authorities being ratlsfied they
knew nothing of the affair.
The accepted theory Is that a moral
pervert murdored Miss Swsnson.
The girl's, limbs, which were protected
by a thin pair of lisle hose, were each
marked by the bloody imprint of a
man's hand, made through the fabrio of
the stocking.
Her rings and other article of jewelry,
worth about S30, were undisturbed, and
examination of the torso with the naked
eye seems to show that a violation had
been committed. ' '
The ded glrf'1 sister, Mrs. Ja Olsen,
wtfe of Frits Olsen, a carpenter living at
sVifl Dewey avenue, said she had tele
phoned to the girl about 1' p. nt, .but

Dr. Stuart McDalrmlL who was present
at the , anamination, made . before ths
mleroscopio left, were accomplished, de
clared also that In his opinion, the 'mur
der was ths work of a degenerate. ' '
"I am at a' loss to know the
motlv for the crime," declared Mr.
Sykes. "All of the eoor of the house,
and all of the windows were tightly
closed and locked when Mrs. Sykes camo
horns. The murderer pi6bably entered
through ths front door, which was open
la the morning, and went out the same
way, locking it as he left. The front
door is equipped with a spring lock,'
which secured it automatically. Not a
thing In the house was takea. la fact,
nothing even waa disturbed,
"Ada wa a straight, honest girl She
had only been In this country about
three years, and had been In our employ
a a domestic for eight months. During
that time, w knew that she was a.
straight honest girl. Eh never went out
nights, .save In company beyond re
proach." ,
Mrs. 8ykea, who made the discovery
was so upset that she Insisted upon re
maining overnight . at the home ot a
neighbor, aad accordingly, after the au
thorities completed . their . Investigation
there, the bouse waa closed up.

HATTERS WON'T PAY MONEY
Union Will Not Raise Fund to Sat
isfy Judgment, but Will
Reimburse Members.
RESOLUTION THUS IS ADOPTED
NEW TORK, May 22 The I'nlted Hat
ters of North Anwrli-a, In convention
here, today voted not to raise a fund
to satisfy the $J-5.fi00 judgment affirmed
by tke- I'nlted Rates supreme court to
Uwo A- Co., hnt manufacturers of Dan
bury," Conn., against members ot tho
Hatters' union.
The hatters voted, however, to raise i
fund '.for the relief of the Individuals
whose homes and bank accounts have
been attached to satisfy the Judgment.
This determination was voiced In the
following resolution adopted In executive
session: '
"The I'nlted Hatters of North America
deny the statement of D. F.-' Loewe
Co., and the attorneys for the anti-boycott
society, that this organisation hss
agreed with any one to pay the judgment
In this rsso, and hereby declares It to
be our purpose not to apply any of the
funds of the organization or 'any funds
for the relief of our, members, to the
payment or ' satisfaction of 'this Judg
ment. !-,- ,
"But this, organization pledges Its as-,
elstance to the members affected by said
judgment arid resolves further that an
assessment of 1 per centum on the dollar
of tke weekly earnings of the members
of tins organization, on and after July 1
be, and the same Is hereby assessed and
levied, to be collected as other assess
ments are collected, and the money real
ised therefrom shall constitute a fund to
be used and - employed by. the officers
of this organization' In auch manner as
they may deem best for the -relict and
benefit of said members affected by said
Judgment, and, -
"Kesolved, Further, that the officers
and directors of thl organization "be" and
are hereby authorised and direc.tedto ap
peal . to the American Federation of
Labor and. to labor and other organlsa
tlons for assistance and contributions to
the said sum for ihe aforesaid."
In, preambles to the resolution. th hat
ters asserted that it was not known until
the decision of the supreme court In this
case, whether the Bherman law was In
tended to apply to labor organizations,
and that the defendants, "thojgh held
legally wrong In the opinion of this or
ganization, were guilty of no moral
wrong." '
, The preambles also set forth that It
was reasonable and proper that the hat
ters' organization should relieve in as far
as possible the distress of the members
affected by the judgments and make
comfortably their declining years.

CONFERENCES SUSPENDED
Informal and Unofficial Parliyi of
U. S. and British Diplomats
Over Shipping Off.'
DUX TO MISUNDERSTAKDIKG
WASHINGTON. May 51 The Informal
and unofficial conferences between the
commercial adviser of the British em
bassy and the State department trade
advisers, to expedite handling of Ameri
can cargoes, were suspended today by
the State department because of. the ap
parent misapprehension In London, of
how far they bind the United States gov
ernment. The suspension of the conferences was
announced by the department In the fol
lowing official statement: 1
"In view of differences which have
arisen In the Informal and - nnoffkial
conference between Sir Richard Craw
ford, the commercial advisor of the
British embassy, and Robert ' F.'' Rose
and W. B. Fleming, the trade advisers
of the Department of State, who ' have
been in a personal capacity representing
the Importers of the United States, Mr.
Roe and Mr. Fleming have decided that
they cannot continue these conferences
until certain differences have, been re
moved and they have therefore made a
full report of what has taken place to the
Department ot State and will await Its
action."
Slr'Cecil Spring Rice, the British, am
bassador, called on Secretary Bryan
earlier in the day and explained that tho
British embassy here had the same un
derstanding as the foreign trade advisers
of the State' department that the Infor
mal arrangements to assist the American
cotton Interests did not affect the legal
right of the United States In Its opposi
tion to the British order In oounoil.
The ambassador brought with him a
copy of the statement he Issued last
night, which suggested that there had
been either , error In the telegraphic
transmission if the British foreign office
memorandum, ot the Impression ob
tained by British officials tn London
from their conferences with American
representatives.
The United Stale will make Inquiry
of the American embassy at London to
establish whether- British officials there
have any Idea, as stated In the foreign
office memorandum, that the United
States was bound by the arrangements
ade by cotton Interests. Ambassa
dor Page would be instructed. It was
said, to correct any misapprehension on
the subject.
