COSTLY LEGAL OVERSIGHT.
Letter Carriers Overtime Suits to Cost
the Government $8,Ooo,oOo

Washington, Dec. 6.-Aaron II. Post,
a letter carrier of Salt Lake City, re-
Gently sued the government under the
e1ght-hour law for overtime. The gov
ernment lost through the carelessness
by H. NJ. FOOte. former assistant dis
trict attorney of Utah-An ugly scandal
is insinuated because of the fact thai
FOOte now represents the letter car
riers.
In his suit Post claimed to have
worked five hours in delivery and sew
en- in waiting for, receiving and assort-
ing mails.
It was the duty of the governments
counsel to prove that work of asserting
mail was clerical labor, but all testi-
mOny to that effect was suppressed, and
a decision was rendered in favor of
Post.
The government appealed to the Uni
ted States supreme court. It has affirm
ed the finding of the lower court but in
the decision intimates that, had the ev-
idence clearly shown, that the claimant
was employed ''as a clerk during the
extra time for which charge was
made, Section 1,764, Revise Statutes,
might have been applicable.
The suit of Post and the decision of
the supreme court opened the way for
the bringing OF suits to collect claims
of a similar character, aggregating
more than $4,000, 600. The pOstOfIice de-
partment had no alternative but to ac-
cept the decision of the court. A COM
mission was appointed to examine the
claims and arrange settlements. 1t is
ito, that the total claims allowed viii
not fall short of So. 500, 0O0.
By bringing suits in the courts, how
ever. much larger percentage may be
recovered, thereby increasing the loss to
the government to nearly the SIS, 000, 600
demanded for violations of the eight
hour law.
In addition it has been impossible
entirely to dispense with the necessity
for carriers working overtime. The
amount of labor thus performed has
been minimiZed, but there will still be
quite an annual outlay for such ser
vices. This viii still further augment
the loss sustained by the government
II. NJ. FOote, assistant district attor-
ney for Utah under President Harrison,
represented the government in defend
ing the suit, and it was his failure to
bring out certain evidence which the
United States supreme court intimates
in its decision lost the case.
H. NJ. FoOte is now standing counsel
for the Letter Carriers association and
represents the members of that organ
ization in a great proportion of the
claims for overtime services.

SWEDISH "CABCYCLE."
Strange Machine startles Rikers IN
Central Park.

New York, Dec. 6.-Visitors to Central
park were startled today at the appear
ance of a new vehicle, propelled by man
power and carrying two persons, which
sped along the smooth roads. It had
three wheels, and one of the passengers,
the man behind did all the work. 1t
went up all the steep hills without any
great slackening of speed, and when it
struck a down grade the man behind
simply pressed his feet down on the ped
ais and it slipped along slow or fast as
he desired.
This machine is a 'cabH -cIe' designed
by Fredrik and Birger Ljungstrom, en-
gineers, of Stockholm. Sweden, which the
former has brought 10 this country for
exhibition, after showing it in London.
The secret lies in the driving mechanism
in which a crank and lever gear is sub
stituted for the rotating crank and
sprocket and chain. There is chain.
but it works on the ratchet principle, and
is so constructed that the gear can be
changed without stopping the machine by
simply pressing a little pneumatic bulb
on the handlebar. The range of gear on
the cab is from 50 to 95. but Mr. Lung
strom has a single wheel with him which
he can shift with equal ease from a so
gear to 130.

EQUAL SUFFRAGE IN IOWA.
House to House Canvass to Be Made
by the Women of the State.

Des Moines. Ia. Dec 6-Nothing
less than a house to house canvass or
the entire state Of Iowa is the tremen-
dous task to be undertaken by the
Iowa Equal Suffrage society, backed
by the national organization.
It is proposed to make a poll of the
$4,000 voters in the state on the sub
ject of female suffrage 1t will cost
a large amount of money despite the
fact that most of the work is to be
done by the ladies Of the local organi-
cations in the various counties. The
plan has just been completed in its
details, by the executive committee of
the state association and a circular will
be sent out in a few days setting it
forth.
Lists are to be made from the poll
books CT all voters, and these, by town
ships, wards and precincts, are to be
canvassed by committees of the work
ers.
Each voter will be asked his views on
the suffrage question-whether in favor
or opposed, whether willing to have it
submitted to a vote of the people. and
whether the expressions indicate a
chance for effective missionary work.
All answers will be kept listed.
The poll lists in this county are be
ing copied, and work viii begin in the
other cities at once. BY December Is,
this task will be well under way. The
canvass of the voters thus listed will
begin early in January and be COM
pleted in time to lay before the Iegis-
lature at its coming session, which
opens in January.

TUCSON IMPROVEMENTS. 3
Has q Street Car Line and Will Vote
Bonds for Water and Sewers.

Tucson. Ariz., Dec. 6-Tucson and
her citizens are actively engaged in a
we'll organized attempt to bring the
city up to the most approved ideas of
modern times, and extensive improve
ments are now under way looking to
that end.
The main difficulty encountered has
been the manner the old town has been
laid out with the adobe houses
thanking narrow unpaVed streets. AS
affecting the main thoroughfare Con-
gress street, amicable arrangements
have been made whereby the old build
ings shall be pulled down from one side
of the street as far as a paraHeling al
ley.
Down this thoroughfare has been
constructed within the past week Tue
sons first street car line. that is al
ready in operation from the center to
the territorial university, several miles
distant.
A third important movement is en-
bodied in a bill that VIII be presented
to congress at once, asking that Tue
son be permitted to issue bonds in the
sum of 500, coo, the proceeds to be used
in providing a water supply and sew
age system fer the city.
The main idea is sewerage for the
city council is favOrably inclined to-
ward a proposition for a water supply
submitted lately by the Southern Pa
ciflc Railway company.

ROBS HOTEL GUESTS.
Frank Vickers, Great Northern Bell
Boy, is Arrested


Chicago. Dec. Crank Vickers has
been a bellbOy at the Great Northern
hotel. Now he is a prisoner at the
Harrison street station, and Col w S
Eden is happier in the thought that
perhaps for a time he will not be
called upon to make good losses of
money and valuables from the rooms
of his guests. Vickers, who has barely
reached his majority led the officers to
urday, when he was arrested, and there
goods to the value of nearly 81, 500 were
recovered.
Vickers has been employed at the ho-
tel for three months, and for nearly
that time guests have been making
watches, jewelry and sealskin gar
ments from their rooms. Strangely
enough, most of the thefts were COM
mitted while the occupants of the rooms
were at meals. Col. Eden played de-
tective for some weeks. He suspect
ed Vivkers and set a trap for him, but
they availed nothing Then the city
Detectives Herman and Broderick were
detailed from Headquarters on the case.
The officers placed on a table in
room of the tenth floor $50 in bills and
silver. as well as a gold watch They
then Secreted themselves and watched.
tectiVeS vas rewarded by hearing
key turn softly in the door. They saw
VickerS enter, appropriate the money
and watch, and then they interrupted
the operations. Vickers finally broke
down and volunteered to lead the Of
fi,cers to the place where all the articles
he had stolen were secreted. He said
made a duplicate, which he used to en-
ter the rooms.
