by Justice Peckham, the United States
Supreme Court of the United States
held to be unconstitutional the New
days work and sixty hours a
days work and sixty-six hours a
weeks work in the bakeries of that
State. Justices Harlan, White, Day
and Holmes dissented and Justice Har-
Ian declared that no more important
decision has been rendered in the last
century.
The opinion was handed down in tho
case of Lockner VS.. State of New York
and was based on the ground that tho
law interferes with the tree exercise
of the rights of contract between indi-
viduals. The Court of Appeals OF the
State upheld the law and affirmed the
Judgment Of the trial court holding
Lockner guilty. Judge Parker wrote
the opinion of the New York Court of
Appeals supporting the law, and he
court divided four to three on the ques-
ton of validity.
Lockner is a baker who was found
guilty Of permitting an employe to
work in his bakery more than sixty
hours in a week.

-FOUR Die in Stampede.

INDIANAPOLIS, Special.-Frenzied by a
false alarm of fire, several hundred
newsbcys struggling to obtain free
tickets to a show by a patent medicine
advertising company. stampeded in a
narrow stairway in the Masonic Tenn
pie Monday night, crushing the life out
of four boys and probably injuring sew
eral other children.
Long before the time appointed for
the distribution Of free tickets, the
stairs of Masonic Temple. at the south
west corner of Washington street and
Capitol avenu were crowded with a
pushing, yelling crowd of children,
mostly newsboys, each anxious to be
first to receive a pass. When the dis
shutting began, the excitement be-
came more intense, and the efforts of
several policemen to maintain order
were unavailing.
1t is alleged by a witness that one
of the boys, in IN e%ndeavOr to hasten
tllC GAIL VI CIooO Ii Ioo SSSA'S
passes. shouted "Fire?' Immediately
those at the top of the stairs faced
about and madly began to force a way
to the bottom of the steps. Shrieks
and physical encounters followed.
Those at the top became SO closely
entangled that the mass Of boys fell,
ciinging to each other, into the strug-
Cling mass of youths at the bottom Of
the stairs.
Policemen from central station re-
sponded to a riot call and began to
extricate the ~smothering boys. Four
boys were dead when uncovered. The
boys fought desperately to get free,
and dozens were injured by the first
crush or were hurt by the subsequent
scramble aforesaid.
An immense crowd of people, at
tracted by the wild shouts, jostled
about the mass of boys and hampered
the work of the ambulance corps.
The severely injured were sent to a
hospital, while many, who suffered
slight injuries, were sent home.

potatoes and beans suffered most.
Strawberry blooms were cut off in
places, but the damage in that particu-
