COURT NEWS
sNYDER'S CASE UP
Mrs. Snyder's Tale of Her Husbands
StinxiueHs.


Stinginess.
Mrs. Jacob Snyder told Judge Pond this
morning that, although she had seven small
children to support, her husband, who
had plenty of money, rarely gave her more
than 10 or 15 cents day for food. She
says he never gave her anything on Satur
day, because, being Jews, they didn't cook
on that day. Two days of last week the
family had only half loaf Of bread to
eat, and MRS Snyder asked the court to
compel her husband to give her more
money.
Ida Snyder, a daughter, said her father
had driven her from home when she was
only years old, and added that she had
made her own living since that time. She
said her mother and the children fce
quently came to her for something to eat
when they were suffering from hunger.
Snyder himself explained that he gave
his wife all the money he made. He is
a peddler and says he made only 81 last
week and about So the week before. The
court advised him to go to work with a
shovel and pick If necessary, and post
poned the case for two weeks to give him
another chance.

Gently at the city hall in st. Paul for
permission to look over the original or

St. Paul's City Attorney So Decides
Regarding Street Car Tariffs.
City Attorney James 3. MARKHAM Of st.
Paul, to-day rendered the opinion that the
common council of the city OF st. Paul
does not possess the power to order a re-
duction of street car fares from five to
three cents.
Mr.. Markham finds that the enabling
act, passed in 1899, gives municipalities
the right to provide for regulating and
controlling any public franchise but ex-
presses no power to fix maximum rates.
Also, long line of decisions give state
Legislatures the right to enter into con-
tracts with corporations, but hold that
when contracts have been once made, the
powers granted to the municipality cease
and the contract must stand. a.

LABOR NOT OPPOSED ..
One Voice Regarding Resumption of
Ten-Hour Shift for Police.

Ten-Hour Shift for Police.
Without presuming to voice the actual
sentiment in labor circles toward Mayor
Jones' decision to put the police depart
ment back on ten-hour shifts, John Swift
this morning expressed the belief that
there would be no active opposition to 1t
from organized labor. -...s
tAll Of the men, he said, "are sensible
enough to see that whether the police
men work on ten=hour shifts or eight
hour shifts, the city must be properly po-
liced. From what has been said it ap-
pears that the force must be divided into
two, instead Of three platoons in order to
put enough men on duty at one time to
give some sort of protection to the en-
tire city. and then there aren't enough.
AS property owners, many sabodng men
will see the Justice in, this view Of the
situation" .-->

The Commission at Work

a N AGREEABLE impression will
~ be created by the promptness
Awith which the strike COM
mission yesterday began it's
judicial functions. If it had been an
old court, long habituated to inquiries
of a similar nature. 1t could not have
proceeded more expeditiously or sys-
teratically. When we take remem
brance of the innumerable flictions
which have attended the earlier stages
of this controversy, it seems little
short of marvellous that so decorOus
and so quick start should have been
made toward the recording of testi-
mony before tribunal having no spe-
cific power to enforce process or dis
cipline. There has been no finer illus
tration in American history of the
sovereign reserve power of public opin-
ion.
While comment upon the testimony
itself would be nanifestly out of place.
it may not be amiss to suggest that in
the interest of economy and efficiency
the learned and much-multiplied coun-
sci for the defense should. if possible,
plan their campaign so as not to in
volve repetitions and confusion. The
mine-wOrkers have but one head to
their legal column whereas it would
appear to casual observation that
the operators have something like
dozen heads to as many different legal
columns obedient to no central author

least temporary pooling of legal is
sues, lest too many cooks upset the
