Chairman shonts Declares Exclusion
Laws Do Not Cover Canal Zone
By Associated Press.


By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Aug. 11.-Mr. Shonts
tonight gave out the following state
ment with regard to a statement is
sued in Washington by President
Gompers of the American Federation
Of Labor.
1.-The S-hour law does not apply to
unskilled labor on the Isthmus of
Panama. The entire present unsk1lled
labor force is alien. We cannot Sc
cure this class of unskilled labor from
the United States. 1t is therefore not
seen why law passed in the interest
of American labor at home should be
made applicable to alien labor, who
probably never heard of it's existence.
Its application would have increased
the labor cost of the canal several
million dollars. The American laborer
in this country would have to pay his
alton, without any compensating ben
eft to himself.
"At the time of my interview with
Mr.. Gompers, in discussing the 8-hour
law, aside from what l have already
said, l stated that my understanding
of the reason for the enactment of the
S-hour law in this country was primar-
lily to give to the highest type of labor
in the world longer hours for mental
recreation and improvement.
but with the lowest class of labor
at Panama, 1t was more helpful and
improving, more in their interests and
more an act of kindness than other
wise, to permit them to work ten
hours day and pay them for 1T, be-
cause they are paid by the hour.
LAS to the statement of Mr.. Gompers
that the existing law excludes Chinese
laborers and coolies from the United
States or any of it's possessions, that
the Panama canal zone is an American
possession and that it is as much a Vio-
lation of the law to bring Chinese there
as it is in other portions of our coCn-
try, / can only say that the commits
sion has secured the opinion of the
highest legal authorities of the govern
ment 1t has been held that such law
does not apply to the canal zone.
'"The law excluding Chinese from the
United States and it's possessions was
passed in March, 1903, and specifically
set forth that such laws should only he
applicable to territory at that time sub
ject to the authorities of the United
States.
1.-THE canal zone was acquired at a
subsequent date, and congress has not
extended its provisions so as to en-
brace the canal zone.
1.-THE canal must be dug and the first
requisite is to have labor to dig 1T. We
don't believe it wise or economical to
depend only on the West Indian ne
groes, and cannot secure the unskilled
laborer in sufficient volume from the
United States. 1t is therefore not in
competition to our own labor and any
agreement entered into viii provide for
the return of Chinese direct to China
upon the completion of service on the
canal work.
'1n conversation with Mr.. Gompers,
the we'll known views of Mr.. Shonts as
to labor on the isthmus both with re-
spect to the possibility of the future
employment of Chinese and otherwise,
were practically set forth as above,
and any contrary understanding must
have been due to a misrepresentation
of his position"

yer from the top of an entrenchment.
The troops were advancing by short
rushes IN open order across a wide level
field, firing blank volleys by squads as
they came. A few yards behind the
grand duke was his suite, including
Gen. Zarubaen, second In command Of
the guard corps, adjutants and order
lies, and several civilians, including
Countess Nierod.
Suddenly, when the first section OF
the attacking force, consisting of sharp
shooters. was from $50 to 500 yards dis
tant bullet sang high overhead, fol-
lowed by another and still another.
The cry was raised "They are firing
ball" and the group was thrown into
great confusion. After frantic signal
ing, cease firing" was sounded, but the
shots continued for some time.
Grand Duke Nicholas remarked: cit
would be more realistic II the troops
always fired ball during maneuvers, but
this is unpardonable negligence"
The attack on the position held by
the Semnovsky regiment was imme-
diately stopped. Troops were marched
to their quarters and an Investigation
was begun.
How the conspirators obtained ball
cartridges has not been ascertained, as
ammunition Is always called in after
the men returned from patrol duty,
but it is conjectured that the ctrtridges
were secured after the dissolution OF
parliament, when supplies of service
ammunition were issued In anticipation
of trouble, and the troops succeeded in
holding them out after the collapse of
the strike.

AeRARIAN TROUBLE SERIOUS
Disorders Extend Into Several More
Provinces of Central Russia
By Associa ted Press.

BY ASSOCld lcd Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. lids
patches received during the present
week have shown that the widespread
agrarian disorders have extended into
several more provinces of central Rus
sia and are especially grave in Pol
taVa.
The police also report a portentons
increase in the activity of the terror
lists, which it is thought will hardly
fail to remove some high parsonage.
The attempts made upon Grand Duke
Nicholas Nicholaevitch and General
Kaulbars were frustrated, but this was
due more to the remissions of the con-
spirators than to the activity of the
police. Barbara Printz had actually
succeeded in obtaining an audience of
General Kaulbars, governor general of
Odessa, and was on her way to his
palace when she accidentally dropped
the bomb with which she intended to
assassinate him.
General Kaulbars today reported the
attempt upon his life to Emperor Mich
olas and received a message of con-
graduation on his escape.

MUTINEERs MUST SUFFER
Two Thousand to Be Tried by Court
Martial
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
ST PETERSBURG, Aug. 11.-After
the preliminary Investigations the mill
tary and naval prosecutors have de-
cided to try by court-martial no less
than 1000 soldiers and sailors who par
ticipated in the Kronstadt and Svea-
borg mutinies.
The prospects of the 4ien. however,
have been frightened by the decision
of the emperor to appoint two extraor-
dinary commissions, headed respectively
by Gems. Vodar and Guncheroff and
Admirals Mollas and Makaroff. to in
vestigate the causes of the outbreaks at
Kronstadt and Sveaborg and to deter
mine the responsibility of the demoral-
ization.
War Minister Rudiger and Minister
of Marine Birileff are said to be arriv-
ing at the same conclusion as Admiral
Skrydloff, the commander of the Black
sea fleet, that the officers are more to
blame than the men.
The commissions will inquire into the
general conditions prevailing in the
navy and army, and it may result in

persons or by doing the work itself by
day labor.

Financial Situation Unchanged
This opinion will determine the legal
status of the case, but it will not re-
lieve the financial situation. Stancbury
& Powell have been paid for rs per
cent of the work they are supposed to
have done, according to the so per cent
calculation. This is 1886, ,S81.25. The
total cost of the so per cent is $44S,-
SS125, but 25 per cent of this amount
is held back by the city, under the
terms of the contract, until the work
finally is completed and accepted off,
cially. The contractors have constantly
contended, since they abandoned the
contract, that they will go into court
in an effort to have this $112.000 re-
turned to them.
The total contract price for the work
is $565, 900. or this amount 1896, 1881
has been paid the contractors, leaving
but 1928, 1875 in the fund for building
the rest of the outfall sewer. With
$112,000 in litigation there will be only
$116,11S available for doing the remain
der of the work. To this may be added
the amount of the contractors bond,
S141, ,250, but this will only give a total
Of $257, 1868 for doing all the rest of the
outfall sewer. II the $4,000 is not
contested the city, from all sources,
will have $369,36S with which to COM
plete the work. If Mr.. Alsop's estimate
is correct. that in point of difficulty
only 35 per cent Of the work has been
done, it is hardly probable that even
this grand total will entirely cover the
cost of the remainder of the sewer.
This grand total is only slightly
gyeater than the sum already paid
StAnsbury & Powell for the work thus
far accomplished.
What can be done by the city to col
lect from the contractors the amount
overpaid them is problem that the
city attorneys Office now is consider
ing. 1t first must be determined how
much more than they were entitled to
the contractors have received. To do
this an expert will be engaged to go
over the ground and determine the
amount of the overcharge, both from a
liheal feet standpoint and difficulty of
construction.
AS there is nothing in the contract to
determine by which method the con-
tractors shall be paid. that being left
entirely TO the city engineer, the city
will assume that 1t has the power to
dictate the method.

AeIrAToRs MAKE BOLD MOVE
Russian Revolutionist Secures Secrets
of Military Camp

of Military Camp
BY Associated Press
KHARBKOv, Aug. 11.-There have
been frequent cases in the central
provinces of revolutionary agitators
wearing the uniform of an aide dc
camp of the emperor going through
the country announcing to the ignor-
ant peasantry that the emperor has
decreed the distribution of all land, but
that the mobiles and landlords were pre-
venting the news from reaching the
peasants and instructing them to take
what the emperor has given.
A still bolder fraud has just been ex-
posed here which illustrates the de-
ceptions to which the revolutionists
are resorting in order to penetrate the
military secrets of the government and
to open up channels for their propa-
ganda into the army. Some time ago
a man appeared at the headquarters
of the commander of the Kharkov gar
rison, representing himself as Lieut..
Poiotsky, aide de camp of Gen. Su-
khomlinoff, commander of the military
district of Kiev, in which Kharkov
lies.
He presented what purported to be
an official document authorizing him
10 ISSdldhlS bAiS hAS-
position of the troops.
Authority Never Questioned
The idea of questioning his author
ity never seemed to have entered the
mind of the commander of the garri-
son, who received him with the great
est attention and turned over for in
spection all military documents in his
possession. For several We IS Lieut.
Pojotsky" was entertained by the
officers, was a promiE mt figure at the
military reviews and personally ac-
companied several punitive" expedi-
tions into the country.
When he left it was with full mill
tary honors.
Later, in the course of correspon-
dence of Gen. Sukhomlinoff, it was dis
covered the man was an imposter. In
consequence of this the commander of
the garrison here has received a scath-
ing reprimand and general orders have
been issued from the war department
warning garrison commanders through
out the entire empire to beware
of similar tricks of the revolutionists.
In addition to the military informa-
ton which the revolutionary "lieuten-
ant" secured NJ. Kharitonienkao, a rich
landed proprietor, mourns the loss of
$4,000. which he willingly loaned to the
dashing young "aide de camp of Gen.
Sukhomlinoff."

Laundry Mark Systems
The mark "3-37" found on the mur-
dered woman, was a scratch or false
number, and it is the only number the
Los Angeles laundries can identity
when requested to compare numbers
found on the laundry.
The number "59-0," appearing under
the false or scratched number, on the
waistband, does not appear on the lists
of the larger laundries. Neither does
the number "39X6."
The search for these marks has been
made in the large laundries as far back
as March 1. OF course there Is n possi-
bility that the woman may have been
murdered previous to that date, or that
the laundry marks were changed or
discontinued prior to that date.
The majority of the Pacific coast
laundries use the same marking sys-
tenn.

discovered the corpse, concerning all
the information he may have. A
Spanish interpreter Plummer is with
the officer.
Sheriff Gilbert visited the scene of
the crime, then proceeded farther
north to Calabasas, stopping en- route
at the Mexican grading camps. Little
information was secured from the
laborers at work on the Malibu rail-
road there, and practically none which
would tend to solve the mystery.
At Sheriff William A. Whites office
nothing has been learned that would
give the slightest clew to the identity
of the dead woman. Numerous callers
have given Sheriff White opinions and
mysteries merely tend to embarrass
and confuse.
A telegram sent to the Pingree Shoe
Manufacturing company at Detroit in
quiring to what firm the shoes. of
which the numbers were given, which
were found on the corpse, has brought
the reply that no trace could be found
of the firm or dealer that bought them.
Frank King, a carpenter of Ballona,
told the police at Santa Monica that
while he was driving through Temescal
canyon with his wife and two friends,
about a month ago, they saw a wo-
mans hat lying in the brush near the
spot where the body was found a few
days ago.
All of the party noticed the hat, also
that it contained rusty hatpin, but
of what nature the head of the pin
King does not remember. They de-
cided the hat had been left behind by
a picnicker and drove on without ex-
amining it.
