daily papers of Los Angles employing
titude of the infamous Times toward
those who toll.
At the grounds in the afternoon what
at first promised to be a serious diff
sulty was caused by a policeman Dress
ed In plain Clothes who drew a. revolver
while making a petty arrest The
opinion is freely expressed that the
policeman was acting under orders from
the chief, a tool Of Otis, and this be-
lief is strengthened by the manner in
which the Times devoted on entire
page to the "union riot.''
Naturally, the union men and women
Of Los Angles are much pleased at
the great showing made, and are con-
hdent that ere another Labor Day is
at hand Otis will be forced to make
peace with labor. Unionists every
where can materially assist in bringing
this about by writing letters to the
following advertisers in the notorious

When the Journeymen Horseshoers'
Union Of New York ordered strike
several months ago a horseshoe manu-
facturer aided the employees in securing
new men for the purpos of defeating the
strike. The strikers won, however, and
then various horseshoers' unions in the
United States levied a boycott on the

an injunction in the United States
court against the horseshoeors. But
union horseshoers have lost faith in
this particular shoe, and the manufac-

NOT ENTITLED TO PREFERENCE
Justice Ma SIN Holds That the Veteran Law
Doesn't Apply to School Principals.

ROCHESTER,. Oct. "A school principal,
even though he be veteran Of the civil
war, is not entitled to preference over other
candidates This is the law laid down by
Supreme Court Justice Nash this week.
Col Samuel G. Pierce is veteran, and
when the Board Of Education refused this
year to reappoint him to principalship
he sought to mandamus the board to COM
pei his appointment, urging that he was
entitled to preference over other candidates
who were appointed.
Justice Nash, however, holds that the
position of principal Of the public schools
OF the State is not in the service in which
veterans are entitled to preference, and
that the provisions OF the civil service law
giving preference to veterans apply only
to the unclassified service. Col. Pierce
has announced that he will appeal from
the decision.

Mrs. Hill Came From Japan to Have Him
Arrested for NOn.SuppOrt.

Arrested for NOn.SuppOrt.
Marcus Stowe Hill, commission mer-
chant and inventor. was arraigned yes
terday in the West Side police court, charged
with non-support His wife, Alberta Hill,
followed him all the way from Kobe, Japan,
to make the complaint. She lost the case
IN court, however.
Hill, who is an American, met his wife in
Sidney. Australia. and married her there on
Dec. l. 1888. They have two children liv-
ing, boy Of "A and a girl Of IL. Some
years ago the Hills moved to San Fran
CISCO, where he was commission merchant.
Then they went to Japan, where Hill de-
cided that there was good trade in Egyp-
tan and Turkish cigarettes.
Hill interested three friends in the scheme
and got them to invest $780, He came
here nearly two years ago and had an en-
gineer get up special machine to make
cigarettes. As vet the machine has not
worked successfully Mrs, Hill and the
two children remained in Japan. where
Hills friends were under agreement with
him to keep them provided for.
Mrs. Hill came here with the children
few weeks ago and got warrant for her
husband on the ground that he did not pro-
vide for her. Hill was arrested yesterday
at SO Warren street, where for three weeks
he has worked as o clerk at SIS week. ID,
Il have offered her $40 a week, he told
Magistrate Deuel. Il asked her not to come
here, as it costs much more to live here
than in Japan. She has $500 worth of dia-
monds and hardly have a collar button
Mrs. Irene Kenney, who runs boarding
house at 443 West Twenty-third street,
was in court as a witness for Mrs. Hill but
her evidence was all in favor Of the defend
ant. He boarded for So week, she said,
because he wanted to save money to get
back to his family, of whom he appeared
very fond. The Magist rate dismissed the
complaint when Hill said that he would
do the best he could by his wife.

EIGHT-nOUR Law VALID.
Att0rney-Ceneral Further Interprets tho
Court Of Appeals Decision.

ALBANY, Oct. 2.--In response to An in
quiry from State Labor Commissioner
McAIackin, Attorney General Cunneen to-
day gave further Interpretation OF the
recent decision of the Court Of Appeals
affecting the constitutionality of the eight
hour law.
The decision was given by the Court in
the Orange county road construction case,
and declared unconstitutional the section
of the eight-hour law imposing penalties
upon conviction for violating the laws
provisions. The law as whole was not
disturbed, and the powers and duties Of the
Department Of Labor under the law are
not affected, according to Attorney General
Cunneen, except in 80 far as the Depart
ment is prevented from awaiting itself Of
the penalties provided for by section 3s4
Of the Penal Code. In reference to the en-
forcement of the law by the Department of
Labor the Attorney General says
1T would seem that the only power left
in your Department for the enforcement
of the laws provisions is to be found in
section Of the Labor law, which provides
for the removal of certain officers, agents
or employees who violate its provisions,
and for the maintenance of an action for
the cancellation or avoidance Of any con-
tract which, by it's terms or manner OF
performance, violates the Labor law"

MILNER WON'T ENTER CABINET.
Premier Balfour Could Not Persuade Him
to Become Colonial Secretary.
Special Cable Despatch TO The ST

Special Cable Despatch TO The SUM-
SHEFFIELD, Oct. AT luncheon Of the
delegates to the Conservative conference
to-day Prime Minister Balfour made a
speech in which he said that recent events
had not divided the party, but had divided
the Government. Those who went and
those who stayed were devoted to the party
The Government and the empire had lost
the greatest Colonial Minister the country
had ever seen. MIR. Chamberlain's SER
vices the Premier said, could not be ex-
aggerated His place could not be filed.
He had nothing to add to the reasons that
had induced Mr.. Chamberlain to think that
he could serve the cause better in an I'M
Official position. He would leave it to Mr..
Chamberlain to express his views, which
did not differ by scintilla or hairs breadth
from his own, as to the reasons he had for
taking his step.
Mr.. Chamberlain, the Prime Minister said, ,
had not withdrawn his support from the
great cause in which they were engaged,
and they could count on him in the future
as in the past.
Lord Miner, said Mr.. Balfour. had not
found it possible to accept the Colonial
Secretaryship, but he was in entire agree
ment with the Government on the imperial
domestic policy. He considered. however.
that he could deal better with the delicate
South African questions on the spot. He
(Mr. Bafour) had argued with him that he
could do so better in Downing street. but
neither had succeeded in convincing the
other Lord Miners decision. the Premier
said, was greatly to be regretted from an
imperial standpoint. When Great Britain
had loyal and united South Africa it would
be due mainly to those two great men
Chamberlain and Miner.
He, the Prime Minister. had watched
with placid amusement the satisfaction
their opponents found in the position OF the
Unionist party. He did not begrudge
them that satisfaction. The Unionist party
was never in better heart. Their oppo-
nents were never more hopelessly embar-
raised. So long as his Majesty would
support the Government Of which he (Mr.
Balfour) was the head. he would never
think Of deserving the cause for which he
was responsible. He had no doubt as to
the fortunes Of the party or the fortune Of
the empire so long as the party worked
tooether without friction.

Special Cable Despatch to THE SUN.
THE HAGUE, Oct. 2.-The session to-day
of the Venezuelan Arbitration Tribunal,
which is to arbitrate the question OF the
priority of Germany's England's and
Italy's claims against Venezuela, was
mostly occupied in deciding what language
will be employed during the proceedings,
and in discussing the question of the status
of the various parties. There were many
protests against the use of the English
language.
Herbert Bowen, the American Minister
at Caracas, who is associated with Wayne
Mac Veagh and William L. Pen6eld in the
presentation Of the American Venezuelan
side OF the controversy, asked that short
time limit be fixed for the replies to MIR.
Macveagh's presentation He said that
Mr.. Penfield was unable to stay long, and
he himself was unwilling to defend Vene-
z,,ela and the United States single-handed.
The court will give it's decision on this
request tomorrow. after which Mr..
Macveagh will speak on behalf Of Venezuela.
