The Federal contract labor law is

said they came in the employment Of
T. Give Davies, having been IN that
relation before leaving home. Mr..
Stackabie ruled that the men were
not entitled 70 land. under the terms
% the contract labor Law. and they
must either keep on 20 Australia OF
else be detained as prisoners until
they could take passage back To Van
courer in the returning steamer No

Mr.. Davies thereupon engaged
Hatch & SiIliman, attorneys, to sue
out a writ OF habeas corpus. The pc

was FIRST addressed to Judge Gear. OF
the Territorial Circuit Court. while the

thought the petition was withdrawn
on account OF want OF jurisdiction OF
the Territorial courts and was pre-

Court instead.
Julius Greatorex. the first petitioner,
states that he was private secretary
to Mr. Davies in England; George
Lee. that he was his coaehman. and
Charles Young. the same gentleman's
groom. It is further set forth that
Mr.. Davies is only residing In this
Territory temporarily. to attend TO
business connected with the firm OF
Theo. II. Davies & Co in which he
owns an interest. and that upon re-
turning to England his aforesaid pri.

Cheap Steel for Fo-eisncrs

Mr.. Charles NJ. Schwab. president of
the United States Steel company, ad-
mits that the American steel manu-
facturers sell their products to for
eigners at lower price than they do
to their own countrymen. He admits
and he defends the practice. His rea-
soning is that to produce goods at the
minimum cost plants must be run to
their full capacity; that when the pro-
ductivity of plants run in this fashion
exceeds the demands of the country
surplus stocks pile up which must be
disposed of abroad II disposed of at all,
and that 1t is for the interest OF the
manufacturers, their employees and the
country generally that these surpluses
should be got rid of abroad. even II
they are sold at price much below
that asked of home consumers, as 9TH
erwise mills will have to be closed or
run on half time and workmen thrown
out of work. Mr.. Schwab contends
that to obtain foreign markets and
sometimes to keep them when obtained
it is necessary to reduce prices below
the home standards.

as the water DeCOines stale the fish
cannot exist and II fresh water Is not
at hand the fish will die. To prevent
this loss Cassius NJ. Fisk OF Ohio has
designed the receptacle here shown.
The device consists OF a pail to re-
ceive the water and bait, with an air
pump and storage reservoir at one side,
and perforated tube located in the
bottom of the water chamber. 1t will
be seen that air may be compressed to
relatively high pressure in the air
container, and by means of the pecu-
liarly arrange distributing pipes a
gradual discharge of the air through
the water is permitted, thus keeping
the water continually purified and
necessitating the use of the air pump
only at comparatively long intervals aa
the pressure becomes too low to prop
erly feed the air to the water. To aid
in selecting the bait for use the in.
ventor has also supplied sort of net
composed of ring covered with fabric
and mounted on the lower. end of {.
rod inside the pail, which will lift the
fish clear out the water until the one
desired can be taken ont.

Popularity of Outdoor Life.

1t is an encouraging sign for the
health of the modern American that
the popularity of outdoor life in this
country seems to he increasing. The
number and variety of sports and pas
times which allure to open-air exertion
has grown greatly. Not very many
years have elapsed since the time
when tennis and football were unus-
ual and golf and the bicycle were al.
most unknown. Yet the influence of
these and other sports has been so
strong in recent years that open-air
life, ,has come to be enjoyed for its
own sake and apart from the amuse-
menf associated with it.

E0SIm an,


The aequittai OF Prof. Charles II.
Eastman OF Harvard University OF tho
charge OF numbering his brothcr-in-
law. closes one OF the most remarkable
murder trials In the history of juris-
prudence. The circumstances OF the
shooting. the high standing OF the de-
fcndant In the educational and social
world and the strange antc-mortcm
allegations OF the brother-in-law as he
lay mortnlly wounded by bullet fired
during n Fourth of July target prac-
ticc-ail served to Invest the trial with
! intense dramatic interest.
The verdict OF acquittal In this case
Is somewhat remarkable considering
the weight OF purely circumstantial
evidence with thc average American
jury when adroitiy and powerfully
handled by lawyer OF Attorney Cen
cral Knowlton's eloducpce and ability.
But fortunately for American jurIs-
prudence and justice the jury consid-
cred and weighed the testimony OF
witnesses and not the fervent oratory
OF Mr.. knowlton. To have convicted
Eastman under such circumstantial
evidence would have been blot upon
the jurisprudence of the old Bay
State. In such case us this the ends
OF Justice and OF humanity are best
served by giving the defendant the
benefit OF the doubt which any i'm
partial student of the case must con-
cede was present in every detail OF the
trial and which the state could not re-
move.
II the accused in this case could have
been hanged for murder the life OF no
person would be safe, no matter how
remote might be his connection with
fatality. The bullet that killed
Richard Grogan was no doubt fired
from Eastman's revolver. but there
was not sufficient evidence adduced to
refute the claim that the killing was
accidental.
