BETRAYED TIE
 TRUST IF THE
 WORKMEN What Mcguire Did With the Eight
 Hour Bill. SOMETHING ELSE WAS UP HE HELD TT OUT FOR FEAR TT WOULD HURT OTHERS. Another Bill for Eastern Men Was on Hand and Congressman Mcguire Gave It First
 Chance.
HE HELD TT OUT FOR FEAR TT
 WOULD HURT OTHERS.

On more than one occasion Judge Ma glire has rent the air with protestaHons of esteem for the workingman and prom ises of support whenever possible, but his actions speak even louder than his words and the thoughtful union member learns more from Maguire's record in regard to Congressional measures to help labor than from any high-sounding address from platform or paper.
 There was a time when, had he been so disposed, Mcguire might have had a measure of inestimable value to the labor ing classes brought up before Congress and passed, but he didn't. It was bill to effectually limit the hours of day S work upon public contracts, and 1t fol- lowed the decision of the Kelso case, which practically nullified the then exist ing law. Mcguire expressed the greatest regret for this and severely criticized the construction of the law. His own organ. the Examiner, of September IS, 1887, quot ed him in this way:
 I find no fault with Judge HeacocR. He con- scientiously followed, l think, little too closely a wellusettled and very just rule which requires that criminal statutes be strictly con- strued. I regret that he did not see his way clear to send the matter before the court in order that we might have had a more authori- tatiye judicial decision to present 10 congress next winter in asking for an amendment to the act but of course he would have had no right 10 hold the. defendant for that purpose merely.
 The penal provision of the act is Is so wretch, how its crudeness escaped the attention of the lawyers in Congress at the time of Its passage, unless indeed, the act was passed as piece of iuEzlery to satisfy the demands If organ ized labor for the time being, while incorpora- ting ambiguities and limitations Whlcn would he likely to enable its violators to escape pun ishrnent However its sufficiency to hold and to punish the corporation and those who con-

His explanation was glib and ready and tinged with the same sorrow that welled so coptously from his breast just after the Kelso case, but still the work same law as that which faced Kelso, and the possibility of extra hours and no re- dress Is a stronger argument than any MT. Mcguire can make to the contrary.

CRANK ASKS JUSTICE
 OF JUDGE WALLACE
HE LIVENED UP THE BECKER CREEGAN CASE
When Arrested and Taken to the h. sane Ward He Sues Out Writ of Habeas Corpus on
 His Cuff.

Matters livened up considerably yester- day in the trial of Becker and Creegan, charged with having swindled the Neva- da Bank. A crank put in his appearance just as court was adjourning at the noon hour, and, advancing as close to the bench as possible, threw his arm over his head and said: Most wise and honored Judge, I want justice; I come to seek justice I demand justice" Judge Wal lace left the bench and started for his chambers, when the crank advanced closer and repeated: 'I want justice, most wise Judge"
 ",Vhat does he say" said Judge Wal lace.
 man. But before he could say more Ball. if Whelan grappled with him and led him from the court to the insane ward. After bowling and shouting for justice for several minutes the prisoner, who re- fused to give his name, asked for paper and pen and wrote the following note:
 SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. l. 1898. Any Judge who is able to do me justice will me out for tonight, and I will appear at g O clock in any court am my own bondsman.
 N B. He then busted himself drawing up a on his cuff, all the time mumbling for justice That he is insane there is no question, but who he is is the puzzle On his watch there is engraved the name B. Bierbaum,. but whether or not that is his name he refuses to say. He will be examined by. the Insanity Commissioners to-day.
 McCIosky, an alleged confederate of the defendants, was on the stand yesterday and told his story of his connection with the Nevada Bank swindle. It is thought the prosecution will close its case to-day or to-morrow at noon.

INTERPRETERS PUNISHED.
John F. Healey and Joseph Anton
 Get Six Months Each.

Two wife beaters were punished to the limit of the law yesterday. The first was John F. Healey, 121 Fourth street. His wife, who is several years his senior, owns some property and he was in the habit of demanding money from her to satisfy his appetite for drink. When she refused he beat her. A week ago he blackened her eyes and broke her arm, and she had to be taken to the Receiving Hospital. Judge Low gave him six months.
 The other was Joseph Antone, 237 Ship ley street, who has for years taken a sav- age delight in beating his wife and chil- dren. Last Sunday he was unusually se- we're in his castigations and a warrant was sworn out for his arrest. Judge Mogan gave him six months and ex- pressed his regret that he could not make 1t six years
