The womnn, who had been estranged from her husband, told the police that he had ' attempted ' to strangle her and that she tired the shots to save her own life. Three bullets entered his head. Until niak int;' the alleged confession, Mrs. Harnes had stoutly maintained that her husband had ended his own life. Hnrnes met his wife by appointment in her apartment last night to try to adjust their differences out of court, lie had filed suit for divorce, which was to have been heard today. It was warm in the apartment, Mrs. Harnes said, and she suggested that they go for a walk.

Prospccl.- of settling the differences between the employes of the subway and ele vnted roads' and the Intel-borough Hiipid Transit company looked a lit tie more favorable today, although neither side has receded from its un compromising position. The labor leaders have decided to pass the re sponsibililv for calling n striko to a mass meeting of union employes to. night. There still is hope, however that even if the meeting voles to strike, no action will he taken until Mayor Mitehel and the public ser vice commission have an opportunity to see what can be done through me dint ion. The. union employes of the New York Railways company, which op crates the surface traction lines, met this morning and discussed what no tion would be taken if a strike were called on the subway and elevated lines. The taking of the vote will deter mine whether the Interborougb cm ployes desire a strike and was begun during the forenoon. The result will be announced at the meeting tonight LA FAYETTE DAY NEW YOHK.

UPHELD BY COKE XKV YOHK, Sept. . Three thou sand grocery clerks went, on strike in this city, Jersey City, Newark and outlying towns today. Leaders of the Uctail Clerks' International Protec tive association claim there will be (ilKIO clerks out within the next twenty-four hours. The strikers demand shorter hours, a minimum salary of .fl." per week and 1 per cent of the stores' receipts. Judge John S. Coke, who presided at the August term of court in Curry county, handed down a decision in the noted Hogue river suit which in volved li. A. Seahorg and seventy- nine other defendants, fishermen, em ployed at the Senborg cannery, mak ing permanent the temporary injunc tion granted by Judge Calkins a year ogo. The suit was started last year and some of the defendants were brought to Coos county for n hearing, hut the trial was nftorward held be fore Judge Calkins at Gold Hench. Judge Coke having dismissed at Co- quille the case against the majority of the defendants. The purpose of the suit was dou ble to enjoin the defendants from trespassing upon the tidclnnds of the plaintiff, tho Macleny Estate com pany, and to enjoin the defendants from malicious interference with the plaintiff in its fishing operations. The decision in part rends as follows: Rights to Fish Comon. "The right to fish for salmon in Hogue river is a right m common, given to nil citizens of the state, but such fishing operations must of course be curried on and conducted with due regard by one fisherman of the rights of others. While the right of navigation nnd right of fishery within Hogue river uro rights common Uo all, neilher the right of navigation nor the right of tishery carries with it the right to trespass upon the lands of the plaint if l or any other owner of lands along the river. . Nor does the right of navigation or of fishery carry with it the right of malicious interference by one person with the rights of another. "The right of navigation is superior to the right of fishery, nnd the rule is the same with reference to naviga tion ns it is with tho right of fishery, so far as each navigator or person being required to respect the rights of the other. No person is permitted to maliciously interfere or annoy an other in the right of navigation. The rights of the plaintiff nnd "those of the defendants arc identical, i Fislilng Ijiw Defined. "The law permits the taking of fish from Hogue river below the Illinois river by menus of sot nets and drift, nets, within certain periods, nnd nlso permits the taking of salmon from said river by means of seines during a more limited period, so that the right to fish with seine is recognized by law-and this means of carrying on the fishing business within the limits prescribed is ns lawful ns any other means of taking salmon from the river. The- difficulty in this case arises lnrgely from the fact that the plaintiff is the owner of the seining grounds for a considerable distance up the river from its mouth. "It must be borne in mind, how ever, that the plaintiff has lawfully acquired these grounds at a cost of many thousands of dollars, and that it is nssessed nnd pnys n tax upon these seining grounds to the county. and yet the only value these lands have is. confined to their uses a seining grounds. They nre appar ently, worthless and valueless for any other purpose. Conspiracy Existed. "From a consideration of all the evidence and circumstances there can be no doubt in the mind of any im partial person that defendants did design nnd net together for the pur pose of hindering and interfering with phi itit iff in the operations of its seines. From the testimony it ap pears that defendant Seaborg had repeatedly stated that, he intended t L 'bust up his seines.' A meeting was L held at defendant .Scaborg's cannery about July 1, 1!)1, following prior arrangements made by defendant Scaborg's foreman, to employ per sons to 'muddy' the river during the seining season, und at this meeting it appears that plans were discussed and formulated to interfere with nnd injure plaintiff. ('. S. Woodruff, one of defendant Scaborg's employes at that time, testified that the purpose of 'muddying' the river was so that seining could not be'enrried on. And further testified that 'it was talked that the tide lands was a public high wn y.' rrom the testimony it appears that defendant Scaborg had employed an attorney to defend the fishermen in ease of any litigation. It also ap pears that a number of defendants, evidently acting together and by pre nrrungement, appeared at different times und at the places where the seining operations vitro being carried on during daylight, und while the waters of the river were clear, and when gill net operations were not customary or usual, and placed their boats and nets in such position as to interfere with and in some instances render seining impossible. Numerous Offenses Clinrged. "Defendant refrained from begin ning their operations until plaintiff undertook to lay out its seines, and the defendants usually ceased opera tions ns soon ns tile seines were hunt ed. The nets of the plaintiff were burned with acid; a fence inclosing the tidclnnds of the plaintiff was torn down nnd burned; numerous tres passes were committed upon the in closed lauds of the plaintiff." Heferring to the tidclnnds, the de cision says thut the "tidclnnds are in no sense n public highway und nre subject only to the rieht of navigation and the right of fishery; but those rights do not extend to the landing of boats and the trespassing of per sons uon the iands above the wat ers of the river. Such trespassers would become liable criminally nnd civilly in such acts." ftilkJns Sustained. Going further into the matter, Judge Coke said : "1 am supported by Judge F. M. Calkins' opinion, after henring the evidence in two contempt proceedings, involving two of tho de fendants, that, the operations of the defendants were in an effort to ma liciously interfere and not honestly to conduct and carry on legitimate fishing for salmon." In conclusion, the decision advises thut all unluwful nets ought to cease and should be condemned by the fish ermen and ciinnerymen themselves, nnd all other citizens of the county should insist for the peace and wel fare of the county that the fishing in dustry be curried on lawfully, and ibut violations should be promptly punished, regardless of who the vio lators nre.

A friend of mine bought a lawn mower. , I forget what he paid, but it was the cheapest he could find. He cut his lawn twice, then took the lawn mower to the repair shop. v ' Every time he finished mowing the grass the cheap machine had to go back to the repair shop to be sharpened or tuned. "That's the most expensive lawn mower I ever owned" he told me one day. He had learned the lesson I've been trying to teach people about motor cars. And that lesson is the cheapest car is often the most expensive. It nays enor mously to pay a little more. By paying $1090 for a Chalmers, for. example, you get a five-yeur, car. A car that will do everything you expect of it for at least five years. , n , And at the cud of that time it will be in fair condition. The motor it's the famous 3400 r.p.m. It will never worry you. Never cause you to lose your temper. For it has been tested in the hands of 30,000 ovi.i':ra and found 99.21 percent perfect. Caution: Don't take the cheap-lawn, mower altitude buying motor CV3. A.
