RUSSIA MIGHT GRAB
A SLICE OF NORWAY
Therefore the Latter Should
Fix Things Up With Sweden,
Concludes Bedin

LONDON, April 1S.-Sven Bedin, the
explorer. in letter to the Times on
the controversy between Sweden and
Norway, contends that in the event
of a dissolution of the union. Sweden
could afford to be Indifferent TO Nor
ways fate which probably would be
that Russia would seize the strip of
Norwegian territory stretching from
Lingan Fiord on the west TO Jakob's
river on the east for the sake of the
warm water ports Norway has on this
deeply indented coast. The powers,
Mr.. Bedin says. would then want con-
cesSioRs at other points On the Nor
wegian coast. Mr. Bedin argues that
the extinction of Russia's hopes in the
Pacific ocean makes such a danger
very real and therefore II is plainly
for the interests of Sweden and Nor
way and of all powers desiring to pre-
serve the balance of sea power that
the consular dispute should be settled
on equal terms.

The thirty-fourth legislature came to
a tumultuous close as a lawmaking
body shortly after II o'clock last night.
with the air full of everything the
members could lay their hands on. The
'staid and dignified senate frisked and
gamboled little, tossing a few bill files
here and there with feminine awkward
ness. The house went the limit and
two members thereof will take home
scars to show to their constituents.
The lower body began to effervesce
early in the evening, moderately at
first, but with increasing vigor as the
end drew near. There was a marked
disregard for what of a lawmaking
nature was taking place. and the read
ing clerk had a thankless task. Roll
calls brought forth isolated responses
as the members hurried back and forth
from desk to desk on matters not of
state import.
An occasional wad of paper was pro-
jected through the air in the direction
of some head that had paid its debt to
time, and each lucky shot brought forth
a litter, ever, growing louder. The
clerk at the top of his voice would shout
something about "an act" to do some
unintelligible thing ION and after its
passage and the monotOnous roll call
would begin and end with no one pay
ing any attention to the matter in hand.

Special Cable to The Globe

Special Gable to The Globe
LONDON, April 49, - Dispatches
printed in this CTuesday) morning pa
pers from various correspondents in
the China sea show that Togo has be-
gun his willy campaign of cutting off
the vital supplies of the Russian
squadron. With his swift cruisers he
has already nipped a number of Ro-
jestvensky's colliers off the Cochin
China coast
Next, of course, to the actual de-
struction of his enemy's fighting ships,
this is declared by eminent naval au-
thorities to be the most damaging
method of attack that the japanese
admiral could carry out. Without coal
Rojestvensky will be absolutely help
less and his crippled armada will be
at the mercy of the enemy. 1t is evil
dent that this nipping process is al
ready seriously harrassing the Russian
commander, for, putting aside wild
and contradictory reports of Rojest-
veDsky's squadron being part near
Hongkong and part near AMMAN, there
seems no doubt that the Russian fleet
has suddenly veered from it's steady
northeasterly progress through the
China sea and has sought shelter in
some convenient bay off the Cochin
China coast, where the loss of it's coal
supply may be measurably repaired.
Canvass Neutrality Question
LONDON, April 1S.-In the absence
of further information regarding the
position of the Russian and Japanese
fleets, the London morning papers are
keenly discussing the neutrality ques-
ton, for the most part in strong pro-
Japanese tone. The Morning Post
takes the milder view that Kamranh
bay, where Russian warships are re-
ported, is mere fishing port and un-
able to provide coal or other supplies
TO the Russian squadron, which proba-
bly, took shelter there to replenish
from its own colliers, and that though
technical breach of neutrality has
been committed, the French authori-
ties could hardly be held responsible

RHYTHM is A POWER
Authority Says Rest and Activ-
ity Should Alternate

NEW YORK, April 1.-THE annual
convention of the American Physical
Education association began here to-
day. The president, DR.. Luther H. CAL
ick, director of physical training of the
public schools of this city, opened the
convention with an address on rhythm
and education. He insisted upon the
Importance of alternate periods of ac-
tivity and rest in life. He referred to
the natural rhythm of moving objects
at a negro revival meeting as an ex-
preston of the feelings of those pres
ent. He pointed out that children's
play follows the same periodicity,
games being taken up and dropped at
certain seasons, and believed many Of
the works Of genius were produced
under the same law.
DR.. Sargent, director OF Harvard, in
discussing Dancing from the Physi-
cal Training Standpoint" urged the
immense Importance of rhythm. Miss

ing in Dancing Contribute to General

TAKES STATUE BACK
Sculptor Removes a Mckinley
Memorial

LOGANSPORT, Ind, April lin
broad daylight, c. d. Billman, a
sculptor, today removed from it's ped
estal in city park a heroic statue to
President William Mckinley which had
been erected by citizens Billman al
leges that the statue had not been paid
for. In the absence of all city officials
at municipal league meeting this aft
ernoon, Billman backed a wagon
against the base of the monument, and
with block and tackle transferred the
monument TO the back yard of his
home.
The monument was arranged for by
a committee of citizens shortly after
McKinley's assassination. Subscrip-
ton papers were circulated to raise
funds, but through some mistake, Bill
man alleges, he was never compen-
sated. The statue represented a draped
female figure, holding a laurel wreath.
The monument had been the subject
of adverse criticism because II was Sit
uated opposite a livery stable and a

RECOGNIZES MERIT
Gravedigaer Driver Does Vail.
ant Republican Service

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE en-
ployment by the government of an al
legged graVedigger as coachman to Sec
retary of the Treasury Shaw under GER
tlf1cation from the civil service COM
mission, resulted in the issuance of a
statement by Commissioner Cooley
The statement defends the three names
certlhed from which Secretary Shaw
could choose. 1t was shown that the
alleged gravedigger was for many years
coachman to the superintendent of the
government hospital for the insane
and Mr.. Cooley states there could be no
criticism of his ability to perform the
duties of coachman. Mr.. Cooley pro-
ceeds to show that the fourth name on
the eligible list was the one Secretary
Shaw apparently wanted to reach He
comes to this conclusion because on
March l the secretary of the treasury
requested the certification of this man,
who is distinguished driver, and un-
derstood horses thoroughly. The man
was Robert B. Shepard. Mr.. Cooley
continues:
Under the regulations the commission
was without power to grant the request
of the secretary, but on it's fact it APP
peared SO reasonable that a form of ex-
ecutlVe order was prepared to be sub
mitted to the president making a special
exception in the case. At this point Mr..
shepard made the mistake of calling at
iting a letter from the Republican leader
OF the twenty-third assembly district of
the county of New York. eulogizing Mr.
Shepards s able work in the late election
and assuring all whom it might Concern
that he was entitled to some recognition
The attention of the commission being
called to the case an investigation was
made before submitting it to the presi-
dent. which showed on Mr. Shepard's
sworn statement that there was nothing
to indicate that he had driven a horse for
four years. In his younger days he was
valet to John Whelan. prominent Demo-
cratic leader in New York city. and coun
sci to the corporation under Mayor Van
Wyck. 1t showed that Shepard afterwards
entered the employ of Alfred Henry Lewis
In the same capacity, the latter having
rendered no inconsderable service to the
Republican ticket during the last cam
paign. The efforts he put forth Were of
such distinguished character as to call
forth the praise of the Republican district
leader aforesaid.
The commission was guided solely by the
desire to guard the secretary of the
treasury from possible physical injury
from the apparently inexperienced driver
who was being forced upon him by po-
litical leaders and to assure his retention

nirably qualified

MEN MAY WORK AS
LONG AS THEY WISH
Federal Supreme Court De.
Ciares Hours of Labor Can
not Be Restricted Legally

WASHINGTON, April 17.-In an
opinion by Justice Peckham the Unit
ed States supreme court today held to
be unconstitutional the New York state
law making ten hours a days work and
sixty hours a weeks work in bakeries
in that state. Justices Harlan, White,
Day and Holmes dissented and Justice
Harlan declared that no more i'm
portant decision had been rendered in
the last century.
The opinion was in the case of Lock-
ner VS.. the state of New York and was
based on the ground that the law in
terferes with the free exercise of the
rights OF contract between individuals
The court of appeals OF the state up
held the law and affirmed the judg--
ment of the trial court holding Lock-
ner guilty. Judge Parker wrote the
opinion of the New York court of ap-
peals supporting the law and the court
divided TO 3 on the question of val
idity.
The law involved is section 10 of
the New York state labor law, pre-
scribing the hours of labor in bakeries
In the state. Lockner is a baker in
Utica and was found guilty of permit
ting an emplOye to work in his bakery
more than sixty hours in a week and
fined $500. Todays opinion dealt di-
rectly with the constitutional question
involved. Justice Packham said that
the law is not an act fixing the num-
Der of hours which shall constitute a
legal days work. but an absolute pro-
hibition on the employer permitting
under any circumstances more than ten
hours work to be done in his estab-
lishment. He continued:
lnfringes Right of Contract
money which would arise from his work
ing more than the prescribed time but
this statute forbids the employer from
permitting the employe to earn it. II
necessarily interferes with the right of
contract between the employer and en-
ploye concerning the number of hours in
which the employe may labor in the bak-
cry of the employer. The general right
70 make a contract in relation to his busi--
ness is part of the liberty of the individual
protected by the fourteenth amendment
to the federal constitution. Under that
provision no state can deprive any person
OF life, liberty or property without due
process OF law. The right to purchase
or to sell labor is part Of the liberty pro-
tected by this amendment unless there
are circumstances which exclude the right.

tions coming under the head of police

CANAL MAY BE OF LOCK TYPE.
Commission Said to Be Opposed to
Sea Level Proposition.


Authoritative announcement is made
that the isthmian canal commission
will recommend to the President that
a lock canal be constructed across the
isthmus of Panama
This recommendation is opposed 10
that of a majority of the board OF con-
sulting engineers, which voted in favor
of the sea level type, and will support
the view expressed by a minority OF
the board. The commission will not
prepare its report until it has had
chance to examine the reasons to be
presented by the majority and minor
ity of the board in advocacy OF the
type of canal they respectively recon-
mend.
Gen. Davis, chairman of the board,
said the report of the board will be
presented within three weeks
If the commission unanimously rec
ommend a lock canal this will be in
accordance with the inference which
has been drawn from a statement made
a few weeks ago from the White house
that before the President would ap-
prove of a sea level type he would
have to be convinced it was the best
in respect of engineering, time and
cost.
