Druggist O'Donnell's Fight Comes Up Before Judge Wright Today. The action of the Supreme Court yesterday in denying a rehearing of the so-called "patent monopoly" case has a peculiar local significance. At 10 o'clock this morning, the case of the Gillette Safety Razor Company against James O'DONNELL, druggist, will be called for a hearing before Justice WRIGHT. The razor company recently filed a bill in the District Supreme Court asking an order to restrain the defendant from selling its products at a price below that stipulated on the packages. Attorney BACON, of the firm of Bacon & Milans, which is representing the plaintiffs, announced yesterday that their case would be based principally on the decision of the Supreme Court, as he believes that it covers the contention of his client, that it may, as a patentee, stipulate the price at which its goods shall be sold. Attorney Frank J. HOGAN, representing Mr. O'DONNELL, will argue that the Supreme Court decision is not applicable to the case in which Mr. O'DONNELL is involved, and that the defendant buys his razors from jobbers. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ DC-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!

Prince de Bearn, nobleman of France, yesterday lost his appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States from decisions adverse to him in the Maryland courts, brought by his three brothers and a Paris jeweler, Jean Baptiste Chaumet. The court held it had no jurisdiction over the litigation. The suits against the prince grew out of claims for money. The jeweler claimed $20,000 for jewelry sold to the prince upon the event of his marriage to Miss WINANS, of Baltimore, in 1905. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ DC-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!

BY ALPHRED L. STERN. With the start of the season but a few weeks off and everything apparently in readiness for a successful opening, it was rumored on substantial authority yesterday that the Departmental League is about to encounter difficulty that may have material effect on its future status. Trouble, which, it is claimed, is already in the air, seems to have started in the Department of Commerce and Labor, where lack of interest and unwillingness on the part of those who lent their support last year to again step in and take the reins, is said to be responsible for the threatened withdrawal of the team that has represented that branch in the clerks' circuit for a number of years. A player, who has been with Commerce and Labor for a number of years, admitted last night that the rumor is not without foundation, although authorities in the department are said to be doing all in their power to prevent furtherance of the trouble. For the past week an effort has been made to enlist the service of department officials who are willing to lend their support, but thus far but little has been accomplished. Just what will be the outcome of it all, if the report is actually true, cannot be predicted. But one thing is certain, the Departmental League would lose one of its most formidable teams, a team that has always figured in races for the championship title. Officials of the league could not be reached last night, but it is to be hoped that a satisfactory agreement will be reached before the affair comes to a head. --- Although the above may stir up considerable comment as to the possibility of total disruption of the Departmental League, it is hardly probable that any such serious outcome will be brought about. With so worthy a man as C. C. CLARK, of the Agricultural Department, at the helm, it is reasonable to believe that everything will be smoothed over. Of course, it is not at all improbable that one or possibly two teams will withdraw, but even so the league would be in a position to pick up other men who would willingly take the franchises. The schedule has already been drafted, but the necessary changes could be made without difficulty. --- In spite of numerous reports that he will enter professional ranks before the start of the season, Chief GREENE, premier slabman at Catholic University, stated positively yesterday that he is going to pitch for American Security and Trust Company, of the Columbia League. GREENE is one of the most capable pitchers in Washington, and should win the majority of his games for the Bankers. --- Manager GRAY, of Potomac Electric Power Company, is gobbling up players by the wholesale in an effort to bring together a combination that can win the pennant in the Independence League. He has a formidable array of talent in line right now, which on paper looks like the material for one of the strongest teams that has played here in many a day. The latest player that has been brought under cover is "Chuckie" DAMPIER, who for the last few years has played on the third corner for Manhattan, in the same circuit. "Pete" LYNCH, captain of Alexandria Athletic Club and also a former Manhattan player, will also be found with the Electricians. It was expected that the youngster would sign with Southern Railway, of the Columbia League, but only yesterday he announced his intention of playing with Pepco. --- Unless the management gets busy at once and signs up a few extra twirlers, Braddock Athletic Club will experience rough traveling against teams of the class of American Security and Trust Company in the Columbia League. CASH and BENTON, two youngsters who pitched last year, are reliable twirlers, but neither will be able to stand the gaff of two games a week against the circuit in its present makeup. There are a number of players around town who could be induced to join the clubmen, and the management will be acting wisely in starting a search for all available at once. --- Naval Medico will be hard pressed for honors over in the Marquette League this year. Last season the Sailors had things about their own way, but things will be decidedly different when the curtain is raised on the incoming campaign. Carroll Institute, for instance, will no doubt be strongly fortified with talent, and should figure from start to finish. --- East Washington Sunday School League is going to have a number of representatives in the parade on Amateur day, according to Secretary EVANS. The communication lately forwarded the league by Secretary SHURTLEFF was promptly answered, and from the present outlook each of the four teams will be in line for the grand prize offered by Manager GRIFFITH, of the Washington American League club. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ DC-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!

Lexington, Va., April 8. - Washington and Lee batted WHITNEY the former Washington Eastern High School star, freely in the seventh inning of today's game with Penn State, and, aided by TOMPKINS' airtight pitching, copped a 6 to 3 victory. TOMPKINS had the Penn Staters absolutely at his mercy throughout, fanning twelve, and only letting up when the victory was in his grasp. WEBSTER's clean steal home and RAFTERY's timely hitting were the features for W. and L., while EBERLEIN, who is to go to the Philadelphia Nationals, was the star for Penn State.

SHE SCREAMS WHEN ACCUSED Mrs. Snyder, Formally Charged With Murder of Her Husband, the Turf Editor, and Held Without Bail - Tells Story of Stabbing, Which She Holds Was Accidental. New York, April 8. - Following an autopsy at the morgue today on the body of Walter J. SNYDER, editor of Sports of the Times and victim of wounds inflicted by scissors in the hands of his wife, Coroner's Physician, Otto C. SCHULTZE said that if medical aid had reached him in time an operation might have saved his life. Furthermore, he said, in his opinion the man had lived an hour or an hour and a half after being wounded and then had slowly succumbed to an internal hemorrhage. The autopsy showed, Dr. SCHULTZE said, four wounds - two in the outer covering of the heart and one severing an artery. It was this that caused the fatal hemorrhage. The fourth wound, between the fourth and fifth ribs, was not serious. An inquest into SNYDER's death will be held April 18. No testimony was taken by the coroner today. Mrs. SNYDER, weeping and on the verge of breaking down, was charged with homicide. As she listened to the charge she screamed and buried her face in her hands. She was held without bail. Before the coroner arrived Mrs. SNYDER chatted with newspaper men and agreed to go out to the street to pose for her picture. At that time she seemed to be unconcerned. Woman Tells Her Life Story. When asked to make a statement, she readily agreed, and even smiled as she began. "I was born in Morristown, N. J., where my father has been in various business enterprises," she said. "Besides myself, I have four brothers and four sisters. My father and mother separated when I was quite young. Two of my brothers are dead, but several of my relatives still live in Morristown, Seven years ago SNYDER came to Morristown with a man named Barney DEMOREST, a well-known horseman. They opened a roadhouse there. Shortly before he came to Morristown he was married to Annie TRACEY, of Baltimore, but she secured a divorce from him after he had been in Morristown for some time. I met SNYDER through friends, and he told me of this. Some time later we were married. We went to Newark, N. J., and lived there for a number of years, then we went to Detroit, Mich., where he became secretary of the Detroit Racing Association." At this point Mrs. SNYDER started to cry, and wrung her hands pitifully. "He started to go around with other women, and would not listen to me. He met a woman named YAEGER, and became her companion all the time. I stood it as long as I could, and then I came East alone. I came to New York to live and forget. To support myself I took positions as housekeeper and maid. I tried to forget him, and was getting along all right, when I heard that he had returned to New York with the YAEGER woman. Agreed to Be Reunited. "I wanted to see him. The Old Glory horse sale was on at Madison Square Garden, and I knew he would be there. So I wrote him a letter to the Garden and he got it. He came to visit me. He was then living at 200 West 140th street with a girl named KAUFIELD. It makes no difference where I was living at the time. "We talked of old times, and he declared that he still loved me. I told him I thought we should try to live together again, and he agreed. I told him, however, that he could not come back to me unless he gave up all other women. He said he would." By this time the woman was weeping hysterically, and had to stop her narrative for some time before she regained her composure. "Walter and I then moved to 604 West 145th street," she continued. "We remained there for some time and then went to 930 St. Nicholas avenue. We got along happily, but he would not give up other women. We did not quarrel, but that was the only thing that he would not do for me." The woman stopped and walked excitedly up and down the room, plainly showing that the strain she has been under was fast telling upon her. Her Version of Fatal Struggle. "Oh, I never realized the seriousness of it all," she cried, wringing her hands, and, dropping into a chair, she buried her face in her arms. "I did not realize how bad it was, or I would have called a doctor sooner than I did. We were out late Saturday night, and in the morning, as I was fixing my hair, and as he was preparing for his bath, he came in with a handful of water and shot it at me. I said if he didn't stop it I would do something to him. " 'What would you do?' he asked me. ' 'Something awful,' I replied in mock seriousness. "I had been cutting the ends of the tidy on the bureau with a pair of shears, which I held in my hand. He grabbed my hands and drew me toward him, and banged my hands in his chest four times. I held the shears in my hands, and they cut him. He then released my hands and went into the bathroom. There was some blood on his undershirt, and I asked him if he was badly hurt. He said no. While he was in the bathroom I washed his underclothes, as he only had two suits, and one suit was in the wash. I am sorry now that I ever washed the suit with the blood on it. "After he had been in the bathroom for some time I became worried, and went into see what was the matter. He was lying in the tub, and could hardly speak. 'Get a doctor, quick; I am dying,' he just managed to whisper, and that was the last thing he ever said. "I ran into the hall and went to the telephone. I called up Dr. AZUL, but he was not in, and I then phoned for Dr. TROUT. The phone boy said they couldn't get him, so they sent for Dr. O'NEIL. When he came he said Walter was dead. "That's just how it happened," she finished. "My belief is that he only meant to frighten me. It is too bad that I did not phone for a doctor before I did." The woman had to be half carried to the Tombs prison. She moaned and cried all the way over, and it is believed that she will collapse entirely. -------------------------------- Detroit Wife Claims Estate. Detroit, Mich., April 8. - Mrs. Bertha T.

CASE DEBATED THREE HOURS New Jersey Legislator Unable to Recall From House Bill Giving Census Clerk Who Was Scalped $4,200, but Is Certain That He Will Be Able to Effect Increase in Amount Today. An unsuccessful effort was made late yesterday afternoon to recall from the House the bill granting $4,200 to Miss Alice V. HOUGHTON, the census office clerk who was scalped while working at one of the tabulating machines. Senator MARTINE still insists that the young woman should receive a larger amount than that carried in the bill, and he made the motion. The absence of a quorum prevented definite action, but it developed that there were at least eighteen senators present who were of the same mind as the New Jersey senator. The effort will be renewed today. When the bill for the relief of Miss HOUGHTON was before the senate last week, after a three-hour debate it was passed, fixing the allowance at $4,200, in monthly installments of $50 each, covering a period of seven years, with provision that the money should not be subject to any judicial proceeding. Mr. MARTINE made a strong speech, urging a greater amount, and his amendment increasing the allowance to $7,500 was defeated by a vote of only 17 to 16. This was not a quorum, although that point was not raised. Expects Victory on Next Vote. Senator MARTINE had the support of Mr. ROOT and other influential senators, and he believes if the bill is recalled and the proposition submitted when there is a full attendance his proposed increase will be agreed to. When he made the motion yesterday to recall the bill from the House, Senators BRISTOW and SMOOT objected to it at that time, owing to the absence of the chairman of the committee, Senator CRAWFORD. Senator MARTINE could see no reason why the mere question of recall could not be settled then, as the question of reconsidering the vote by which the sum carried in the bill would not come up until a later time when the chairman would be present. He insisted upon his motion to recall, and Senator BRISTOW made the point of no quorum. A quorum did not respond to the call, and Senator WILLIAMS suggested that the sergeant-at-arms be instructed to bring in absentees. Senator GALLINGER, however, moved an adjournment, and this prevailed by a vote of 20 to 18. This ended the incident for the day. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ DC-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news! TM http://www.NewspaperAbstracts.com
