ROOSEVELT THROWN FROM HORSE
President Alights ON Back OF His Head
and Is Slightly Injured.

Oyster Bay On. " Special.
1t was learned today that President
Roosevelt met with a painful accident
here last Wednesday by being thrown
from his horse and he himself as well
as his friends realize that the injuries
Gus, If not fatal. President Roosevelt
is congratulating himself that he was
fortunate in escaping with only a slight
blow on the back of his head.
The President and Mrs. Roosevelt
were out riding when the horse he was
astrde stumbled over stone and the
animal fell to it's knees. The affair
came so suddenly that Mr.. Roosevelt
was thrown with full force over the
horses head. alighting in the road on
the back of his neck.
Mrs. Roosevelt was badly frightened
but before she could dismount Mr.
slightly dazed he informed Mrs. Roose-
welt that he was not badly hurt. AS
soon as he had fully recovered himself
he mounted his horse and they con-
tinued their ride.
When the President and his wife go
riding they take good care that the
road is closed behind them. They do
not care to be bothered by the curious
and Mrs Roosevelt has horror of
| photographers, who appear to Turk In
| every bush. Their rides. therefore, are
very solitary and that is why the news
of what happened to the President did
not become public before.
| President Roosevelt was very anxious
| that n0ihine should be printed about
the accident. He regarded it as too
| trivial an affair and was afraid it would
| be exaggerated. In some unknown
| way the news got cut.

"WHO is MORTON."
Commander of Asiatic Squadron Did
Not Know There Was a New Head
of the NAVY DEPARTMENT.

Washington Special to Brooklyn Eagle.
News travels slowly out in the Phil
ippines. a couple of weeks ago, before
the information was generally spread
through the archipelago that Paul Nor
ton had succeeded Mr.. Moody as the
head of the Navy Department, it be-
came necessary to send some orders to
Admiral Stirling. Communicated chief
of the Asiatic squadron. The instruc-
lions were put into economical phrase
ology, as is the custom of frugal Gov
eminent. and the message, again fol-
lowing habit, was sent off with the
signature Morton"
The text was devoted to matters of
which there has been some inquiry
from the remote fleet. and it was obvi-
ously from proper authority. The ac-
acknowledgement came back in the
course of day: instructions receiv-
ed. Will he carried out. Who is Nor
ton? Stirling" 1t never occurred t.
anybody that the officers on the Asiatic
station might have no means of know
ing that there had been q sudden shift
in the head of the Navy Department.
1t was no doubt puZzling to the dis
tant officers to get their orders froT
one Morton" of whom they could have
had no recollection as Government Of

in the naval register by only one navaI

LABOR AND WAGES.

A somewhat peculiar labor case has
recently developed in Brooklyn, where
4 public sewer is being laid. The con-
tractor had been previously doing pri-
gate work and his hands worked ten
hours a day at 81 so each. The law of
the State of New York allows laborers
employed on any kind of municipal job
to work only eight hours day, and
when the contractor took the job for
the borough, he had to reduce the time
as required by law. This he did. and
reduced the pay to 81. 20 day
OF course there was a kick at this
and the laborers applied to the Presi-
dent of the borough to force the con-
tractor to pay them the same wages
they received for ten hours work. hut
there they failed. There is a law to
regulate hours of work, but none to
regulate wages, so the men must either
work ten hours or accept the reduced
pay. That is one of the complications
that may be expected naturally to re-
suit from an attempt to regulate the
days work and the rate of pay by law.
These are matters with which the law
properly has no concern. 1t should be
left to employers and employees. If the
law steps in and cuts down the length
of the work day, the employer has Il
right to cut the wages to correspond
To claim ten hours pay for eight
hours work is an imposition. The la
borer has the same right to demand
of his grocer ten pounds of sugar for
the price of eight. There is too much
disposition to have private affairs con-
trolled by law, and the sooner it is
abandoned the best for all hands. The
Brooklyn affair is case in point.
