THE EIGHT-HOUR LAW.
Navy Department Decision OF Inn
portance to Labor Interests.

WASHINGTON, August 1.-THE Navy
Department has rendered a decision con-
strung the eight-hour law that VIII be
or Importance 10 all labor interests, aS
well as TO government contractors. The
commandant Of the Washington navy
yard recently asked authority from the
department TO permit the contractor VINO
IS building the new gun-shops in the yard
10 employ his workmen ten hours per
day. In support Of this application II
was stated that during the progress OF
the work the operation OF the machinery
was TO be stopped and tho floor was be-
ing damaged by exposure to rains.
The Judge dyocate-Generals Depart
ment has pointed out that the law permits
the employment OF workmen on govern
ment works for more than eight hours
per day only in case OF extraordinary
emergency" and then lays down a new
doctrine in the construction Of this law.
as follows:
.Inasmuch as the conditions reported
are such as must have been foreseen
when the contract was made. and are
less degree whenever work OF the char
acter referred 10 Is in progress, the de-
partment Is OF the opinion that the case
cannot be regarded as one OF extraordi-
nary emergency. In cases OF this charac-'
ter Il would appear that II the public
property cannot be sufficiently protected
from damage otherwise tho proper rem
edy would be to employ a force OF mea
In relays. by which means the work could
bs expedited much more effectively"

Judge Blanchard Denies Application
OF NoIIneux's ATTORNEYS.

NEW YORK. August 1.--Judge Rlan-
chard. In the Supreme Court. handed
down decision to-day denying the appIl-
cation OF attorneys for Roland y. Moli-
neux TO inspect the minutes OF the grand
Jury. which indicted Molineux for the
murder Of Katherine J. Adams, by means
OF poison alleged TO have been sent
through the mails to Harry Cornish, an
athletic instructor.
Judge Blanchard in his decision says:
The moving papers fail to disclose any
legal reason for granting this motion.
and the exercise Of the inherent power
OF court in allowing an inspection Of the
minutes Of the grand Jury would be I'M
usual. II not unprecedented, In view Of the
proceedings already had in the case.
1T Is not alleged that an inspection
would aid the defendant in preparing for
trial or that he IS not informed OF the
substance and detail Of the charges
against him. He has had two oppOrtuni-
ties to have the merits OF the accusation
against him inquired into by an exam
ming tribunal wherein he could have tes-
tilted I'm his own behalf. II he so desired,
compelled the attendance of witnesses
and thereby explained away the charges
against him. but in each instance ne has
avoided the issue and waived the exami-
nation He did this in the exercise of
his undoubted legal right, but having de-
clined the opportunities offered him he
cannot now justly complain of unfair
treatment.
Moreover careful review of the pro-
ceedings has produced the conviction
that an inspection Of the minutes would
not benefit the defendant or have any
effect other than delay the trial Of the
indictment against him. The case has
attracted large share Of public atten-
ton for several months. and the best
interests of the community, as well as
those Of the defendant himself. demand
the speediest disposition Of it that is
possible
THE motion is, therefore denied"
Molineux will be arraigned TO plead
before Judge Blanchard at 10 o'clock to-
morrow.
District-Attorney Gardiner said that
he hoped 10 be able to put the prisoner
on trial in the latter part of October.
