NAY PROSECUTE FOR PIRACY.

Since the decision of Judge Locke some
days ago at Jacksonville Fla. in the case

given the question raised by the defense

conclusion that the decision was not good

The Attorney General takes a view di

such. The Attorney General Is very much
in earnest in this matter, and it Is not at

The Clerks Retirement Bill.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
The sentiment of An Aged Clerk in The
Star of the 2lst on the Tawney and Gill
lett clerks retiring bill is worthy of all &C
ccptation, and 1 desire to add my cordial
il dorsement instancing one case in the
same line with your correspondent, where
a clerk in the fifties has an official stand
Ing of 81, being graded for 'punctuality"
Attendance" and efficiency" by strict
disciplnarian The clerk has been pro-
NOTED twice on his record and has not been
absent from sickness in the last ten years
But if the premises of these bills is cor
rect that age is synonymous with ineffi-
cheney, such legislation is entirely unneces-
sary. There is not a syllable in the civil
service law against the head of depart
ment diSmissing an employe that is inetfi-
cient from age or any other reason, and
securing younger blood in his stead. Again,
if this is a good thing, why not shove it
along and apply it to the legislative branch,
beginning in the first Minnesota and second
Massachusetts districts. The present in
cumbcnts are not spring lambs, and have
not beer for some years. Put golden rule
into all legislation.

Likely to Meet.
an APPEAL TO THE LEGISLATURE
The Coming Hockey Match With
Johns Hopkins.
CURRENT SPORTING NOTES

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal. January a6-The
Corbett-FitZsimmons glove contest will
take place in close proximity to one of
three Nevada towns. viz: Carson, Reno or
Virginia City. A bill permitting such af-
fairs has been introduced in the assembly
at Carson, New. and there Is every indi-
cation that it will become a law within
the next day or two. Such being the case,
all speculation as to where the big mill will
take place may safely be said TO have come
to an end.
Dan Stuarts partner. VIM X Wheelock,
has been in Carson for weeks past under
the guidance of VIM. Kenyon. Whether
Wheelocks advice was of any assistance
in framing the measure matters little.
The fact remains that Nevada is in a
fair way CT getting the contest, and such
being the case, the sports of San Fran
cisco are jubilant. 1t is the first time that
a match to finish of that magni :uie has
been held anywhere close to California for
years, and 1t is safe to say that the San
Francisco contingent of ring followers will
be larger than that from any other city
outside of Nevada.
