THE E1aHT-HoUR LAW.
Recent Order Of the President Not
New.


Considerably more has been made by the
labor organizations Of the Presidents
eight-hour labor law order Of yesterday
than the circumstances justify, according
to the commissioner Of labor, who says
an eight-hour government labor law on
the statutes since 1892 but 1t Is only re-
Gently that there has been an effort made
to enforce 1t. The order of the President
the law must be enforced, and this will
have considerable effect on a number of
government contracts. There Is work I'M
der contract for the government. partfcu-
larly under the War and Navy Depart
ments, where the contractors have taken
the work on the theory that as they were
employing the men they could work them
as they pleased. 1t now develops, how
ment work it Is the same as though the
men were working directly for the gov
eminent and the Department OF Justice
has held in at least one case submitted to
It that this was the proper construction
Of the law.
A very pointed case was in the work on
the great government irrigation projects
in the west. This was IN a region where
there were no amusements except drinking
and gambling outside Of working hours,
and where, It was claimed, the men were
a good deal better Off working ten hours
than they were working eight hours. The
most OF the men themselves, IL was as
serted, recognized this and were perfectly
willing to work the additional time. as
they made more money. But the matter
was taken up by the unions, and a fight
to enforce the eight-hour law was made
before the Department Of Justice. The
decision naturally was that the works came
under the provision Of the eight-hour law.
The contractors knew that when they took
the job. but they depended on the law not
being enforced as an opportunity to make
more money out Of 1t. They have since
had the decision of the department rem
dered against them, and the result Is that
the men on these immense contracts have

COL. BRADSHAW DEAD
PASSING OF DISTINGUISHED
LAWYER AND CITIZEN.

The death of Col. Cornelius g. Bradshaw
at Providence Hospital yesterday after
noon after an illness Of over two months
removed a man distinguished as soldier,
a lawyer and citizen. He was born IN
Shelbyville, ILL.,, sixty-five years ago and
came from a family of noted lawyers, his
father and grandfather having both been
judges of the courts of Kentucky Tor
many years-forty altogether. His mother
was a Greek. She met Mr.. Bradshaws
father while his grandfather was minister
at the court of Athens. She was the daugh-
ter of the prime minister Of Greece.
Col. Bradshaw's grandfather came to this
country from England and took grant Of
land in Virginia from the crown and set
tied there, descendants of the family re-
moving later to Kentucky. When quite
young the decedent removed to Illinois.

Special Correspondence of The Star.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
ALEXANDRIA, Va, September 81, 1906
Lewis S. Steelman, who lives at 9O7 Cam
eron street, was awakened last night about
II o'clock by the noise of some one endeav-
oring to force an entrance into his house.
Mr.. Steelman and his son armed themselves
with shotguns and went out to investigate
They found man on the roof of a shed
attached to the rear of the house, where he
was trying to effect an entrance through
one of the back windows of the building
When the intruder saw that he was discov-
cred he took to flight and leaped from the
building into the yard, while Mr.. Steeman
discharged the gun at him. The man was
seen to tumble just after the gun was fired,
but he quickly regained his feet and escaped
over the yard fence
Chief of Police c. T. Goods was notified
of the occurrence and made a careful in
spection of the premises in the hope of find
ing some clue bearing upon the identity of
the would-be burglar. The investigation re-
vealed the fact that apparently only por-
ton of the load of shot entered the fence,
and 1t is thought that the other part of the
load must have struck the fleeing man. The
police hope that they will be enabled by this
means to trace the intruder. Owing to the
darkness neither Mr.. Steelman nor his son
could say whether the man was white or
colored. .--

A NEW MAGAZINE
 10 BE LAUNCHED
We'll Known Washington and Chicago
 Hen Incorporate in Arizona.

An incorporation of which more will probably be heard was effected in this territory yesterday. It is that Of the Standard Publishing company. The incorporators appear to be W. w. Jones and Frank Ainsworth of this city, but the men who are really at the head of the enterprise are well known Wash ington, D. C.. and Chicago men. One of them is Edwin Burritt Smith, who was professor of law in the North western university from 1894 to 1902; he is chairman of the American Anti Imperialist league and has for years been active in political reform move ments. He has edited several volumes of reports of the United States supreme court and for several years he has been a contributor to the leading magazines of the country.
 Another man connected with the company is John Louis Kennedy, who has been prominent in the affairs of the International TypogT aphical Union. He assisted greatly in securing the passage or the international copyright law and he was the author of the clause of it requiring that all books copyrighted in the United States shall be printed from type set in the United States. He is also the author of the emergency clause of the federal eight hour law. MT. Kennedy was for a long time president of Columbia Typograph- ical Union and it was under his presi- dency that the union erected it's $T5.CO) temple. He was for several years a well known Washington correspondent of newspapers in various parts of the country. He is at the present time a member Of the United States industrial commission.
 The object of the incorporation of the Standard Publishing company seems to be the establishment of a magazine in the city of Washington, though that is not definitely set forth

realm of most promising eXperimental research and when he arrived in New York in 1904 to give the scientists of the new world the story of his life work he found abundant coroborative proof of the correctness of his theory in results obtained by Dr. MacDougal-
 The evening primrose, a purely ma tive American plant, mas thus far proved most fruitful of new species. Because of its beauty it quickly found its way to Europe at the hands of the earliest explorers and for two centur- ies or more has been firmly estab- lished there. The wide divergence O many of these plants from parent types in Holland was what first at tracted the attention of Prof. de Vries and ultimately led him to practically devote his life to study of their real character with results so important to science.
 The work of Dr. MacDougal on like lines was of the greatest possible inn portance in proving that the evening primrose continues to develop new species by mutation or direct develop ment from parent plants, under con ditiOns of soil and climate peculiar to

 Many of the problems presenting themselves in constantly increasing numbers at the laboratory will disclose unerring guideposts telling how to CO., operate with nature in clothing these i'll clad lands Such problems have in creased so rapidly that pr. MacDOugaI has found himself confronted with the necessity of largely increasing the fla cilities of the laboratory. To that end the. large reserve is being enclosed; new wells are being sunk, new depart ments are being organized and new chambers for additional experimental work are being arranged, while a new building will shortly be completed.
 Self recording rain meters that will register the rainfall of an entire year without further attention have been installed at various distant points and at varying elevations, and a system Of heliOgrapning has, been adopted and is now in use, which will keep field par ties in constant touch with the labora- tory.

A ROBBFR ROBBED
 WAS NO DEFENSE
4. J. Hoffman Quickly Found Guilty
 of Grand Larceny.

The time of the district court was taken up yesterday in the trial of A. J. Hoffman, charged with grand larceny. Hoffman is the man who managel to get in with his crime just before the adjournment of the grand jury and so saved himself the inconvenience of lying in jail waiting until late next fall to be sent to Yuma He was d railroad man and came here to take a job. He fell in with a man by the name of Ed Gosnen, who had about $40. They drank together, and when Gosnell got helpless Hoffman took him to lodging house in the southerr part of town and representing that he was his brother went through his pockets in the presence of witnesses and took Ia roll of bills. Hoffman afterward showed the money to various persons and the next morning when he was ar rested he had none of it left He had evidently been robbed in turn during the night.
 There couldn't be much of a defense on this showing so that the jury did not require a great deal of time to find a verdict of guilty. He will be sen tenced on Monday.

EXPANDING WORK OF
 DESERT LABORATORY
Importance of Dr.. HaCDOugars
 Scientific Investigation.

Dr. Daniel Trembly MacDOugal di- rector of the Desert Botanical labOra- tory which crowns the old stronghold that was the place of refuge of the Papago Indians years before Tucson was even a dream in the mind of the most enthusiastic pioneer. is making the New York Botanical garden ris principal headquarters while making a hurried and somewhat extensive tour of eastern points of educational inter- est.
 The main object of his visit to the botanical garden of which he was as sistant director for several years says G. Gordon Copp in the Tucson Post, was to note the progress of a series of experiments on the origin of species which he has been carrying on there for upwards of five years in coopera- ton with Prof. Hugo de Vries of Am- sterdam.
 Prof. de Vries studied and toiled for twenty years before making public his most important discovery that not even the lifetime of man is needed by nature to develop a new species. but that, in the plant world at least, the species frequently develop at once from the parent plants.
 Under the Darwinian theory that ages of time and the eliminating ef- fleets of an infinite number of minute changes are required for nature to prepare new species, all the inspiring possibilities of the study of evolution were OVersha dowed by the fact that no 1 man could hope to live long enough to present, any proof obtained by ac- tUaI experiment of the manner in [ which any new species had originated |
 Prof. de Vries' discoveries lifted the | study of evolution at once into the

New York just as readily as in the low lands and moist air of Holland.
 The character. conduct and possibil- ities of desert vegetation has been the subject of mucn earnest study and ob- servation by pr. MacDougal since 1891 Since then some portion of each year aas found the doctor pursuing his in
 vestigations in the arid lands which have guarded natures secrets most jealOusly and held them with a firmer hand against the encroachment of man than any other lands on earth
 It is safe to say that the establish ment of the laboratory at Tucson was mainly due to the importance of Dr MacDougaTs discoveries in this field of research and the able work on the same lines done by Mir. COville of the United States agricultural bureau. The latent possibilities of permanent ben eft to mankind in the investigations now being enthusiastically conducted at the desert laboratory are as inti- mately important to the Overcrowded east as closer home on the boundless plains of the great west.
