DEFECss IN THE LAW,

a Loophole by Which tho Sacramento 10
Trninwrsckers May Escape.
SACRAMENTO, Sept. ia complica-
tion has arisen in the case of the six
men in custoday at Woodland, charged
with wrecking a train on the Southern
Pacific railroad during the recent strike,
which may cause the prosecution great
deal of trouble and possibly invalidate
the whole proceedings.
The hitch in the proceedings arises
from the fact that certain provisions of
the law relative to the fling of the
shorthand reporters notes have been
violated. The law provides that such
notes must be filed within 10 days from
the date on which defendant is bound
over. This has not been done. The
statute further provides that after q
defendant is held to answer, an informa. .
ton against him shall be filed within 80
days. As the shorthand reporters
notes are the basis OF the district attor-
ney's information, it is obvious that no
information can be filed previous to the
filing OF the stenographer's notes.
The stenographer's transcript OF the
testimony taken at the preliminary ex.
animation of Wordsn, Knox and their
accomplicea- has not been filed, al

sign.
This would lose the Democrats one
vote in the senate, as Governor McKin-
ley would appoint Republican. The
governor would have the filing OF the
vacancy entirely in his power, as the
general assembly has adjourned sine die
and cannot assemble except upon the
governors call.
This would also place Governor Mo-

New YORK, Sept. Ex-senator Brice
was shown this afternoon the Columbus
special to the effect that his friends un-
derstood he would resign in case the

tion condemning his course on the Will
son bill. Mr.. Brice said it was the first
he had heard of it, and as far as be was
concerned the great body of the Demo-
Gratis and himself were on satisfactory
terms. He did not understand that
there would be any contest, and it was
the general desire to make a strong

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 13.-The working
committees of the International Brother
hood of Carpenters and Joiners are in
session here, preparing for the inter
national convention which will meet
here next week. Secretary P. J. McDuff
OF the brotherhood says that organized
labor has not been injured by the failure
OF the Debs strike.
because the strike ended disas-
trously you must not suppose that
strikes in general have failed. The
strike of the coal miners was O success,
think. In many places it prevented a
fall in wages; in other sections the men
gained an absolute increase. In New
York the garment makers won their
strike against the infamous sweating
system.
"a week ago last Thursday our men
in New York, to the number of 1900, de-
clared strike against what is known
among the carpenters as the Jumping
system This is practically the sweat
ing system applied to our trade. In
stead OF O contractor taking a building
as q whole. the floors were given out to
one man, the doors to another, the sash
to third. These petty contractors
required the carpenters under them to
take the work by pieces. The prices
were cut in order to obtain work. In
some instances the men were required
to work IL to Is hours a day to make q
living. The better class OF contraators
objected to the system as strongly as we
did. Yesterday three-fourths Of the
employers came to terms.
"Our policy is to avoid general strikes,
since they injnre the innocent as we'll an
the guilty. When contractor ia injur-
ing US we declare strike upon him in
particular, and not upon all of the con-
tractors. II is to our interest to assist
the better class OF contractors. We find
that by avoiding general strikes we are
able to advance our interests most
surely"

within which the district attorneys in

the stenographer will be able to file his

The stenogrspher com planned that the

Attorney Cook for the prosecution is
particularly anxious about the matter,
because as Worden was bound over first,
