HOURS OF WOMEN CLERKS.
Retail stores in Nebraska object to n
Provision of the Labor Law.

Provision of the Labor Law.
Omaha, June 26.-The provisions made
by the last Nebraska Legislature in fa-
vor of women clerks promises to provoke
more trouble than all the efforts of labor
agitators in the past in this State. The
new law prohibits the employment OF wo-
men in retail or wholesale establishments,
factories. manufactures, ETC., for more
than ten hours a day. 1t is made OBJ
ligatory on the part of the proprietors to
provide seats for all employees. A fine of
not less than $50 nor more than $50 is
to be imposed in each case where q fail
ure to observe the law is proved. 1t is
made the duty of the Deputy Labor Com
missioner TO see that the law is properly
enforced.
The law goes into effect on July /, but
it has attracted very little attention among
the clerks whom it is supposed to benefit
most. The large retail stores of this city
and Lincoln. however, thinks that the law
works positive injury, since they are not
warranted in employing an extra force for
the Saturday night trade. which is the only
time which their interests conflict with
the time provision of the act. The man
ayers of most of the big concerns think
they should be permitted TO employ female
labor more than ten hours a day by paying
for the excess time put in, but the law
does not allow this TO be done. 1t is pre-
dicted on all sides that the effect will be
10 drive a large number of girls out of
employment.
1t is the general opinion among the
business men that the matter will adjust
itself when once the law is in operation.
The State Labor Bureau Commissioners
say that they will strictly enforce the pro-
visions of the law, and will prosecute all
violators

THE HUMPHREYS LYNcH1Ne.
Greenhaw Makes n Confession to the
Assistant Attorney General

Austin Tex, June 26.-The preliminary
examination of the men charged with
lynching James Humphreys and two sons
in Henderson county, opened at Athens
today.
Assistant Attorney General N B. Morris
spent four hours last night listening to the
confession of John Greenhaw Greenhaw
says that Joe Wilkinson organized the mob
and that W. f. Johns was next in com
mand. Wilkinson had had Humphreys ar
rested for hog stealing, and failing to
make out case, had gone around into
tho neighborhood declaring that the
Humphreys were thieves.
When Constable Rodges was assassin
ated wilkinson had gone to every man
within a radius Of ten miles and declared
that the Humphreys were harboring Pat
terson, the alleged slayer. For weeks Will
klnscL applied himself to creating a bitter
feeling against the Humphreys. He said
that some of the accused were interested
in Illicit distilling. and finally as a
clincher Wilkinson said the Humphreys
had turned informers, and the only way TO
keep out of the United States jail was
to get I'D of them. BY this time hostile
sentiment had crystallized, and Wilkinson
he'd no trouble in getting a large Lody OF
men TO swear vengeance on the Humphreys.

THE CUP CHALLENGER.
Something About the Construction of
the Shamrock.

London, June 26.-Neither the Sham
rocks construction nor her underwater
body is as yet known TO the public. The
yacht was launched with canvas covering
her lines except her proflles, and nobody
has made any statement about the features
that her owner wishes concealed that is
worth anything. That her top sides are
made of soft metal would seem to be
shown by the dent in her bow given by
the tug that towed her across the dock
just after she was launched. 1t seemed
as though she was made of tin so easily
did the bow yield to the jar OF the tug
Below the water line the yacht is copper
colored and her plates look like ''Tobin
bronze" Her top sides are painted light
green, with narrow gilt stripe a FOOT
below the deck. Below the water line she
shines like new penny. AS matter of
fact the material that forms the plating
IS not as important as the construction
and shape of the keel. There can scarcely
be doubt that here Fife has introduced
some feature which, while not necessarily
original, he is especially anxious TO con-
ceal as long as possible.
a gentleman who happened to get a po-
sition TO the side and very near to the

I tofope. Her stern Post surely rakes more
than the Columbia's. and she must have
/ considerably less lateral plane above the
water. AS she now rests above her lines
she looks TO be all beam. She positively
looks fat. The Shamrock's beam is not
less than twenty-five feet, and may go six
or eight inches over that Even twenty
six feet would not be surprising. HO
greatest beam is Just abaft of amidships
and goes aft to a wide stern and forward

her designed lines her freeboard will he
four feet. Her sides are straight, and do
not tumble home, as has been reported
The sheer is nearly straight as well. The
stern starts downward with a sharp in
curve and then slightly reyerses and
curves outward as it goes toward the keel
The bows are ugly. They are full, and as
she now rests above her lines they need
only big mouth TO make them resemble
huge shark. The after body is also full.
( Ii locks like the after end of a duck.
/ The Shamrock will come Just under

about 19 feet forward. Her bowsprit is
in place and is 80 feet outboard and about
feet on deck The mast viii be stepped
about thirty feet from the forward end of
the water line. The hollow steel, or, as it
is reported, aliminum mast, lies alongside
on the wharf, and is rs feet from deck
to hounds. with 1G feet Of masthead.
1t IS safe TO say that the Shamrock s
keel will be shorter than the Columbia 5
and will not weigh as much. The Graft
Of the two yatchs appears to be about the
same.
In a general way the difference between
the Shamrock and Columbia seems to be
that while Fife has hung his lead from
a dingy Herreshoff hung his from canoe.
