what he is entitled to and all he is
entitled to-a lawful trial in the
established courts. No howl has
been raised over bringing Stensland
within the operations of the law by
evading a controversy over extradi-
ton, nor has the banking guild risen
up to cozzen and defend one of it's
membership accused of crime against
society and against the banking in
terests. The assurance with which
Illinois proposes to proceed in kid
mapping" Stensland is very good evil
dence, if any were needed, that the
purpose of the courts is to determine
the justice of complaints and not to
prevent the cases from being heard,
which would be the result If they
merely concerned themselves over
purely hypothetical question as to
whether extradition would be resist
| ed or not. Illinois has procured the
necessary writs and observed all the
requirements of the law in order to
be entitled to the custody of Stems
land pending his trial, and II would
be pretty outcome II the State
should then hold him over in New
York in order to invite the man to
lresist and delay and possibly pre-

we were devoting our energies to the
completion of details so that con

for bridge across the Snake river,

bridge is to be constructed of tubular
steel, two spans, and will be a little
more than 600 feet long. The cost
will be little less than 100000.
The contract has not been signed, but
it is owing to a change of material
made necessary by an inspection of

company, who was in Boise about
six weeks ago. His report, recon-

Press dispatches from Chicago and
New York indicate that James Hill,
the wizard of the north, has pur-
chased the San Francisco, Idaho and
Montana railroad. Saturday the fol-
lowing was transmitted from Chi
cago:
Another point has been gained by
James J. Hill in his fight with E. II.
Hartman for supremacy in the
northwest, according to reports in
railroad circles here. The reports
are that Hill has purchased the San
Francisco, Idaho & Montana railroad
project, which shortens the line from
Montana points to San Francisco 632
miles. w. E. Foran, one Of the Off
Gals of the new road, Is now on his
way to New York to close the deal.
Negotiations for the sale Of the
road have been carried on for several
weeks and both Hartman and Hill,
1t Is understood here. have been bid
ding for the property. lhe pur-
chase of the new road means great
deal for the Hill interests as 1t would
give them short route into San
Francisco. Harriman's interests, it
is believed, were chiefly negative, be-
ing the keeping of Hill out of the
Golden Gate city, although the new
road taps rich regions in Montana
and Idaho. The exact terms of the
sale are not known, but 1t is under
stood that the purchaser will take up
all of the work of building, paying
par for the stock OF the promoting
company and leave the townsite
grants and other benefits to the pro-
moter."
The above agrees exactly with the
statement found in The Tribune of
August rs and Sept. 20 respectively.
In the first issue we stated that
James J. Hill was the man who was
coming through Idaho en- route to
San Francisco. In our last issue the

The list contains thirty names, and it
is believed nearly twenty are yet to be

It will be several days before the

notice on the railroad company asking
that j. G.. Porter of Paris Ind, con-
ductor of the train, and Engineer
Frank Galnouer be summoned before

The freight crew insists that the first

sheets of the operator at Suman indi-

The work of clearing away the de-
bris Is proceeding, but nothing further
than a mass of twisted iron with piles

are being labeled and sent to the UNDER

VENICE, Nov. 13.-The absence of
Abbot Kinney, who is with the cham
ber of commerce excursion party at
the Grand Canyon of Arizona, gave
rise yesterday to the rumor that he
had sold out, sure this time, and in all
probability had left the dream city"
never to return. This was denied to-
day by Mr.. Kinney's confidential ad-
wiser, Frank Peltret, who in an inter-
view stated that Mr.. Kinney was never
more enraptured or heavily interested
in Venice than he is at the present
time.

TOLD To ENFORCE
E|CTH-HOUR LAW
Three Hundred Complaints on File at
Washington Because of viola-
ton Of Order Concerning
Public Work
By Associated Press

BY Associated Press
WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-Attorney
General Moody today issued instruc-
garding prosecutions of violations of
the eight-hour law, in which he says
the government is determined upon a
strict enforcement of this statute as
relating to public works in the United
States.
Within the last three weeks as many
as 300 alleged violations have been re-
ported.
C. ]. Carlton, a lawyer of Haver-
hill, Mass, has been appointed by
Attorney General Moody to have spe-
cial charge of the violations.
The attorney generals letter, after
calling the attention of the United
States attorneys to the eight-hour law,
continues:
"The government Is determined upon
strict enforcement of this statute,
and you are directed to diligently in
vestigate all complaints which may
come to you from any source of viola
! ton of this law, and upon your own
initiative to make investigation If there
appears to you to be any reasonable
ground for suspecting violation of this
law.
"In every case in which you can Sc
cure sufficient evidence you will sub
NIT that evidence to the grand jury
with a view to securing an Indictment.
your attention is particularly direct
ed to the exception in the first section
of the statute under which laborers
and mechanics may be worked more
than eight hours in a calendar day, IN
case of extraordinary emergency
"In a recent case in the district of
Massachusetts Judge Dodge defined
that phrase as follows
"'An extraordinary emergency, such
as is contemplated by the act, is the
sudden, unexpected hppening of some
thing not of the usual customary or
regular kind, demanding prompt action
to avert imminent danger to life. llmp'.
thing out of the usual, customary or
danger is not enough. The peril must
be certain, unusual, imminent ana
actual in order to constitute an extraor-
binary emergency such as the statute
contemplates.
Judge Dodge also ruled that prop-
able pecuniary loss to the contractor
unless due to an extraordinary emer-
gency as defined above, Is only an OF
binary business risk.
"I desire to impress upon you the I'M
portance of urging every effort to exc
cute these directions; of being vigilant
and active in this matter. You VIII
make prompt and full report to me OF
all cases and of your action therein;

EXCHANGE REVOLVER SHOTS
Negro Detective and Barefooted
Burglar Engage in Close Range
Without Damage

Awakened early yesterday morning
by burglar prowling about the rooms
of his house, w. w. Glenn, negro
police detective living at 1911 Essex
street, chased the thief from his house
with a revolver.
Reaching the street, Glenn opened
fire upon the fleeing robber, but al
though within a short distance of him,
the shots went wild. The fugitive
turned sharply and fired point blank
at his pursuer but missed his aim.
Until both the policeman and the
robber had emptied their guns at each
other, they stood with but few PAGES
separating them and engaged in rap
i'd fire duel.
Both emptied their revolvers almost
simultaneously, and the robber started
off in a cross-yard, fence-jumptng
sprint, that left the policeman far in
the rear.
It is believed that the robber is the
same one who has been entering a
number of houses recently, for the
same barefoot prints that have been
discerned on the premises of several
robbed homes were clearly detected in
the yard of Glenn's home yesterday
morning.
The following houses We're also
robbed early Tuesday morning, pre-
sumably by the "barefoot robber," as
the barefoot prints were seen i'm
pressed on the lawns of these homes:
757 East Twenty-first street, residence
of A. w. White; 1902 Paloma avenue,
residence of Mrs. Ella f. Inglesby
Only clothes and articles OF minor
value were secured by the robber from
both places.
