EIGHT HOUR LAW CONTEST,
Appeal to tho Supreme Court From
Utah's Supreme Court.

Appeal to tho Supreme Court From
Utah's Supreme Court.
Washington, Oct. 21.-The case Of AL
bert f. Holden, plaintiff in error vs.
Harvey Hardy, sheriff of Salt Lake
county, Utah, which involves the con-
stitutonality of the Utah eight hour
law for miners engaged in underground
mines. was argued in the supreme
court yesterday. The case came up
from the supreme court of Utah. Hol-
den was convicted for employing An
derson, miner, for ten hours day,
and sentenced to serve 81 days in jail
and pay a fine of $50.
On the trial Holden, while admitting
the employment of Anderson for ten
hours day, pleaded not guilty, be-
iause Anderson voluntarily engaged his
services, because the facts charged
did not constitute crime, the statute
being repugnant to the constitution of
the United States in that it deprived
employer and employe from making
contracts in lawful way for lawful
purposes; that it was class legislation
and deprived the defendant of property
and liberty without due process of law.
Upon conviction he filed a petition in
the supreme court of Utah for writ
of habeas corpus, which the court de-
Lied, whereupon it was brought to the
supreme court on assignment of error
that the Utah supreme court erred in
holding the law constitutional.

STILL NO AGREEMENT
In the Case Against Sausage Maker
Luetgert, Of Chicago.
A VERDICT VERY IMPROBABLE.

Juror Harlev VIII Not Consent to Send
the Alleged Wife Murderer to the
Gallows-Judge TuthilI VIII Keep
Them Deliberating Until Saturday.
Chicago, Oct. 21.-At $3.50 last night
1t was announced from the office of
States Attorney Deneen that there
would be no announcement of a verdict
In the Luetgert case before the opening
of court today. Judge Tuthill went
home early in the evening, leaving mat
ters with States Attorney Deneen, who
was to send him word In case verdict
should be reached during the early
part Of the evening. The attorneys
for the defense also left matters with
Mr.. Deneen and went home to await
any word that might come from the
jury room.
States Attorney Deneen, pale faced
and red eyed from long lack Of sleep.
sat In his office until S:2O. and then
gave orders that his office be closed.
Il shall wait no longer" he said,
land there Is no need of anybody watt
ing after I leave. l agreed with Judge
Tuthill and with the attorneys for the
defense to remain here until $3.50 o'clock
and to receive the announcement If a
verdict should be reached. In the
event Of an agreement 1 was to send
word to the judge and opposite coun-
sci. 1t was understood that If the jury
did not send word of a verdict by $50
the building should be closed and
everything should go over"
For time last night it was rumored
that If the jury had not agreed by to-
day it would be discharged as soon
The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1897-10-21


as 1t reported its inability to reach a
verdict. This, however, is not the case.
1t is the firm determination of Judge
Tuthill to keep the jury until Saturday
night or late Saturday afternoon before
he permits them to go with a disagree
ment.
The jury stands about where it stood
"a hours ago. Reports vary from nine
for the death penalty to three for ac-
quittal to II for death and one for ac-
quittal. The one juror holding out for
Luetgert is Harley. and it is thought
that if he would change front there
would be little time lost in arriving at
verdict. Juror Holabird is also cred
tied with favoring the acquittal of the
prisoner, but it Is thought he will come
around quickly If Harley could be in
duced to vote for conviction.
The feeling among the jurors who
are in favor of the death penalty is
against Harley, and they have done
some very plain talking to him. At
one time yesterday they even sent for
Judge Tuthill to know, among other
things, II II men could compel one man
to vote with them, or IL a verdict would
be valid If but II men signed 1t. This
is the incident that gave to the state
the idea that there was but one man
standing between Luetgert and his
death sentence.
There is very little thought now of
anything but q disagreement. 1t Is
the general opinion that Harley will
prove firm to the end and he may keep
Holabrd with him. The state is now
looking for a disagreement, having
small hope that Harley will agree to
conviction and certainly not the
death penalty. The state attorney is,
fowever, confident that the jury will
be with him to the extent of ten to two
or II to one. II will have ten of them
sure" he said. "1f a disagreement Is
the result Of the trial the case will be
tried again as soon as possible"

WAITING FOR JUSTICE.

This Is the sixth Of series Of articles
written by David r. Hollingsworth in be-
half of his brother Abner, who was mur-
dered at Wooddale quarries on June 14th,
1895.
Where are the men in honor's field,
Are they there to face the truthr
The time Is here for them to WELD,
In defending this fair youth.
What Is seen to be SO wrong
Should 1t not be all made right,
By a power acting strong
With tho truth for what Is rightP
Far away in heather places.
1t would be bad enough to see,
What Is laid before your faces, X
Waiting for Justice now to be.
The cause is just, he's passed away, 81
Through the hands of foreign men,
win you not stand by the truth and say,
We will our duty do to hims
For what is just, has not been given,
And the truth was laid aside, '-'
For the ones who now are living,
And taken from the one who died.
What can be of Justice fair
Should be given to him now,
While he is sweetly resting there,
Nothing else should be allowed.
Had guilty ones u right to drag around
The private dead us he lay there,
Will men see sin as it Is found,
asS OnEOubH GAelf HanuS NluAouV nuiAo
care?
Would it not be we'll to find.
Why they dragged him so far on?
Never told their comrades, mind,
There had anything gone wrong. =
Is this not sad indeed for ALL
In II Christian land to know,
This awful work standing here not
called,
For some reason surely 1t must be 80.
What is known as clear as light,
Sten by all of knowl d 20 fair,
The truth viii! stand for the right,
# given chance anywhere.
Can this stand for time to come,
II a world 50 bright as ours?
What Is seen has been done
Behind the doors of acting powers.
AS he sleeps Oh there SO still,
Not ono word can be said
BY tho ones who duty fillcd,
Now is numbered with tho dead.

DR.. SCHROEDER TO REMAIN.
The Pope Opposed His Withdrawal
From the Catholic University.

Washington, Oct. 21.-Definite details
became available yesterday concerning
the cablegram sent by Cardinal RAM
polla, papal secretary of state, EXPRESS
ing the desires of Pope Leo concerning
the ease Of DR.. Schroeder. professor Of
dogmatic theology at the Catholic uni
verslty. which has seriously agitated
the board of directors Of the university
during their present meeting. The
cablegram came to Mgr. Martinelli on
Sunday last and gave him definite In
structions to be communicated to the
board of directors of the university.
Prior to the cable communication a
letter had been received from Cardinal
Steinhuber, at Rome, stating that the
pope had expressed desire that Mgr.
Schroeder should not be removed at
the present time.
AS this was not directly from the
Vatican a member of the executive
board of the Catholic university cabled
to the authorities at the Vatican for
an official expression of the pope's
wishes on the subject. 1t was in re-
sponse to this that the cablegram to
Mgr Martinalli was received on Sunday
last. The cable directs the legate to
board of directors of the university
that the pope desires that no change be
made in the status of DR.. Schroeder as
professor of the university at the pres
ent time

to Raid tho Market.

New York, Oct. 20.--Today's stock mar
ket looked very much as though an ef-
fort was being made to test 1t for
rise. Many Of the professional traders
have concluded that liquidation has about
run its course and there has been ces-
saton of the bear campaign. The bears
made an abortive attempt early In the
day to raid the market, but the failure
OF the raid encouraged the bulls to ng
gressive action, and there were indca-
tions Of the temperance In the market
of some of the large buying interests
which were prominent in the late rise Of
the market. This professional buying
carried prices up quite strongly But
the bulls were apparently satisfied with
short turn, and they commenced to sell
to realize profits about half an hour be-
fore the close. This carried prices down
