KEEP OFF CYCLE PATHS
Supreme Court Holds Last Wintor's Law
VALID.

me Court Holds Last Winters Law
Valid.
ST. PAUL, Dec. 2O.-The supreme
court holds the bicycle path law valid,
understanding that it neal public BIZ
cycle paths. and infers from that that
county boards have authority to set
! apart as bicycle paths parts of the high
ways. The case is the state against AL
fred Bradford. from Minneapolis.
Justice Brown dissents from the ma.
jority opinion. which is written by JUS
tice CAVITY. He says the law makes it
u crime to trespass on what is not
known to the law. The act does not
tell how a part Of the highway is to be
set aside for a bicycle path. The court
has no business to read into the law;
that is to be done by the county COM
m~issioners. What is a bicycle path,
| anyway. he wants t know? who is to
| define it? He believes the law is alto
| gether invalid.
The majority opinion holds the law
sound and allows that anyone can tell
when a bicycle path is set apart. But
it can't mean private paths, or a man
would be guilty Of a misdemeanor for
driving on his own path. And this in
dictment is faulty. though it follows
the language Of the statute in that it
does not charge Bradford with driving
On a public bicycle path. The case is
therefore remanded with orders for a
new trial and dismissal Of the case un.
less the text grand jury sees fit to make
. new indictment.
Grain Storage Contracts
A new trial is granted in the case Of
Torkel Thompson vs.. David L. Thomp-
son from Dakota county, IN the plain
tiff's appeal. The action is to recover
insurance on 10. 900 bushels Of grain
that burned in the Appleton elevator,
on the claim that the storage contract
contained provision for insurance. The
defense is held to be good. that the orig
inal contract was superseded by an oral
agreement to store the grain free after
q certain date. when there would be no
consideration for insurance.
Justices Collins and Brown dissent
from that part Of it. holding that the
elevator certificates should be incapable
Of modification in the interest of pur.
chasers of the certificates, unless they
were marked mot negotiable"

DETROIT, Mich. Dec. 20. The Amer.
Il q II Federation of Labor has declared
against slavery within the jurisdiction
Of the United States in the following
language:
We reafhrm our previous position on
this question, namely, that there must
be no slavery or serfdom by ownership
or contract, tolerated under the Amer
lean flag. and that we will make any
n whose action shall in n way mill.
tate against this principle of human
freedom, responsible for such action in
every legitimate manne open to u.s.
1t was stated that 100, 900 slaves ar
now working under contract in the
Hawaiian islands: that evasion of con-
tracts commits them to prison; that
their m in prison is added to their
terms Of serfdom. and that the act adj.
hitting Hawaii to the United States
domain provided for continuation OF
these contracts. a provision repeal
ing that feature having been voted
down by the senate. The convention
adopted the declaration unanimously.
A proposition for establishment Of a
court Of five aroitrators to be appointed
by each annual convention Of the Fed.
GRAFTON to settle all questions Of juris.
diction between the various federated
bodies was rejected. A majority Of che
delegates believed that such arbitration
would be unfair.
l R~eaoiutions Adopted
Resolutions were adopted as follows,
Favoring shorter hours for BARRIERS,
urging the government to provide more
~seaworthy lifeboats; requesting placing
of union labels on school books: bring.
ing machine coopers under jurisdiction
Of coopers' union; endorsing granite
cutters contention for an S-hour day;
requesting all federated unions which
are connected with the Chicago Build.
ing Trades Council to instruct their
delegates there to so vote that the local
unions of granite cutters shall not be
interfered with in following Legitimate
craft lines In Chicago.
After considerable discussion, the
question of granting a federation
charter to the piano and organ workers,
giving them jurisdiction over certain
other factory employees was recon
united. The convention then went
into executive session. under special
order, on the prop osition to release the
linotype machine tenders from jurisdic,
ton of the Typographical union.

D0CT0RED REPORTS.
British Public Demands That Truth from
Transvaai Shall Be Given.

London, Oct 25.-The commanderin-
chief. Field Marshal Lord Wolseley,
has apparently been now convicted of
''doctoring' official reports from the
front and there is strenuous demand
on all sides for a reverson to the ear
lier practice. when the reports of Gen.
Sir George Stewart White, the British
commander in Natal, were given out
textually as soon as received.
The commandment -chiefs summary
read in the House of Commons yester-
day spoke of Gen. White having fought
n successful action whereas Gen.
Whites own account puts an entirely
different complexion on the situation
and reduces the movements TO their
proper proportions and shows that fur-
Their exciting intelligence may be eX-
pected from the same quarter at any
moment.
1t is quite evident that the war in
Natal has only commenced and that the
Beers are by no means discouraged at
losing the first two battles. Many TX
perts are satisfied that Gen. Joubert is
even now close to the heels of the Brit
ish and that a decisive action may be
fought today or tomorrow.
The main fact that the British were
forced to evacuate the natural triangle
which the Beers rightly claim as a con-
spicuous success and which they may
even emphasize by proclamation al
nexing northern Natal, is proving an
platable to the public. whose appetite
had been .whetted by the previous sue.

sumed to be greater than they reall,

THESE HUSSARS ARE SAFE.

Beers from E,landslaagte We're cut off
by the enemy. Under Sergeant Bald
rey they brilliantly fought their way
across the Biggarsberg, the enemy pur-
suing and firing at them at range of
300 yards along the passes.
They arrived here at l o'clock. this
morning. Three of the troop are miss
ing owing to the break down Of thel?
horses The Beers used a Maxim. A
lieutenant of the Hussars, with party
was driven back to Glencoe. The Illus
sars were fired at as far down as Moder
