The cases of James Howard and
Benjamin Miller. accused of partici-

CONT nued until Feb. 20, OH motion Of
County Attorney Butler. An affidavit
was made by the county attorney yes
telday that Mrs. Henrietta, Moennich,

would be impossible to secure her at

of thirty days was asked for. Mr..
Johns, of counsel for the defense, said
that his client would agree to allow the
testimony of Mrs. Moennich, taken on
the Fleury trial, to be read, and to agree
that no objection would be made during
the trial to any part of the testimony of
the woman. After hearing the state

it became his duty to sentence the men
he would consider the time passed in
jail awaiting a trial. Mr.. Johns re-
marked that the sword does not cut
both ways, meaning that in case the
men would be acquitted they would not
get the benefit of being released any
sooner. His honor facetiously remarked
that the old Anglo-Saxon law required
the prosecutor to take the place of the
prisoner in case of failure to convict.

Citizens Relief Committee Meet
This Afternoon.

This Afternoon.
a meeting of the citizens RELIEF COM
mittee will be held this afternoon at 4
O'Clock. The object of the meeting is to
take steps to increase the amount of
contributions so that the men now en-
ployed on the streets under the Keller
fund can be kept at work. Treasurer
Castle yesterday turned over to the city
treasurer $1,000, making in all $4,000
which has been contributed by the citi-
ZenS' committee. As Capt. Castle ex-
planned yesterday the amounts now
being subscribed monthly do not come
anywhere near the sum needed to keep
the $50 men employed on the streets
each week at work. There are nearly
$500 men enrolled on the books Of the
committee, all of them being married
and having families dependent on them.
For the week ending Jan. 6, 274 men
were employed, and for the week end
ing Jan. Is, 2S4 men were at work. The
pay rolls for the two weeks amounted TO
about s., 600. This week 243 men were
at work. but today over half of them
will be laid off owing to there being but
.1s1OJlO Ill LII6 luuu Will WHICH W pay
them.
The secretary in charge of the EN-
ployment bureau stated yesterday after
noon that 100 tickets would be given out
today for work next week. and this was
only one-third of the number which,
under the plan adopted, were entitled
to get them. The committee had been
outstanding their resources and en-
ploying only $50 men each week when
twice that number employed would
only allow each man to work one week
i'll every five. Whether more than 100
would lie put to work next week de-
pended. he said, on the amount of
money turned IN by the citizens as con-
tributions to the fund.

Judge Twohy, in the police court yes

case brought by Labor Commissioned
Powers against Frank HoSkins, st.

cations in the complaint made by the
labor commissioner as to the cars not

attorney for the company, who, as de
Tense. set up that the law was uneonsti-
tutional, for the following reasons ::
Eirst-That it impaired the obligation
of contract. Secondhand it de-
priyed the defendant of property, with
out. due process of the law. Third
That it was class legislation.
Judge Twohy's decision in that case is
summarized as follows:
The question to be decided IN this
case is whether this law is within the
police power OF the state. | think it is
The power OF the state is absolute, with
i'll the lines of reason, to legiSlate for the
welfare, protection and safety of the
| people, and is bounded only by the linn
! itatlonS set upon il by the federal and
state constitutions. In my Opinion, the
| law i'll question does not tranSgresS any
of these limitations. 1t was deemed a
reasonable eXpedient and necessary reg
uiation by the legislature, and it is for
! the lawmaking power TO judge of its
necessity, eXpediency and reasonable
ness for the public welfare.
| 1t is contended, and with much force,
| that this law is unreasonable in making
j 1t a public offense to use cars without
the Enclosure (vestibule) provided for
on days when the weather is such that
! said Enclosure OF veStibuie is not neceS-
-Sary TO protect the life, health and COM
! fort of the mOtOrmen. but the legislat-
ure having considered it necessary, l
I shall not hold otherwise.
|, After. announcing his decision the
court imposed a fine of $40. or sixty days
in the workhouse. A stay was taken
by -Thygeson, of the firm of Mum,

! ing, at which time the record in the
case will be made UP, and certified to

be appealed, and Mr.. Thygeson not
having the amount with him, the stay
was granted at his request.
