NO PAY FOR SATURDAYS.
Chief Justice PeeIe Hands Down De-
cfEion in Test Case.


Practically every employee at the naval
gun factory in this city. a number Of
employees of the Government Printing
ONCE. and per diem employees OF the
government throughout the United States
were affected by the adverse decision OF
Chief Justice Peele, of the United States
Court Of Claims, in the suit Of Emmett l.
Adams. Of Columbia Lodge Of Machin-
ISIS. against the United States. a IA
vorable decision would have cost the
government millions. for while it was
individual il was merely a test case for
the guidance Of all other machinists EN-
ployed at the navy yard.
Adams sued 10 recover extra pay for
working Saturday afternoons from March
Q. 1901. until November 10, 1885. Under
The naval regulations applying 10 the
case. machiuists at the Washington Navy
Yard receive ordinary pay and 50 per
cent additional for all work done on
sundays and legal holidays, but no extra
time was allowed for Saturday after
Moons. which are clearly defined as legal
HOLIDAYS throughout the District of Co
Iuubia by the act OF March 3, 1901. Adams
also claimed that he was entitled to full
pay when no work was done on Saturday
afternoon. when, under the regulations, a
bsIf-hoHday Is allowed during the sum-
1ler months Government clerks and all
others in the city, he asserted, received
pay for a full day.
The court held, however, that the law
gives to the heads of departments the
right to extend the time Of labor of any
of its employees without giving additional
compensation. by special order, giving
the reason for the same That under this
section the claimant, a per-diem en-
ploye. Is entitled to be paid only when
actually employed.
The opinion is a lengthy one, and goes
into all the details of the various statutes
governing the several legal holidays.

This is the wire sent by Graney to-
day from Byron Springs. At a con-
ference tonight to consider it Shylock
Billy Nolan insisted upon his pound
Of flesh. Ignoring the fact that Ben
Selig, acting for Joe Cans, has agreed
to compromise after compromise, has
offered to fight at 1873 pounds, ringside
stripped, and to divide the purse any
way that Nelson sees fit, the Battler's
manager insists that the Goldfeld ar
ticles must go.
He demands, above all else that the
fighters weigh 1873 pounds at the ring
side, with their fighting togs. In short,
he is holding out for something like
131 pounds. VIII he have his way and
will the fight take place? Probably,
yes. Selig declared to the contrary
last night. He said that he had COM
promised as far as he would go, but
for all that he asked for another con-
ference with Graney next Mondey even

Ben believes that Cans will be q
winner at almost any weight. Joe is
anxious for second contest with the
lightweight, who cried Robbery" after
he had tried to win the fight before it
was fought. Nelson is obstinate and
it would cause but little surprise should
the announcement come that the col
ored boy will agree to practically any

POLY ATHLETES
JOURNEY NORTH
STANFORD MEET SCHEDULED
FOR TOMORROW
Southern California VIII Be Strongly
Represented and Hopes Exist
That Championship May
Come South

Los Angeles Polytechnic track men
who will participate in the meet at
Stanford tomorrow left yesterday after
noon for Palo Alto, confident of giving
all competitors a hard run over the
cinders.
Before the interscholastic meet, which
was held at Claremont last Saturday
Polytechnic supporters were certain
that they would leave the college town
victorious and the local men had
right to be jubilant when the final
score gave Los Angeles Polytechnic
the championship for 1907.
In view of the fact that last years
interscholastic meet at Stanford was
won by the Oakland high school with
twenty one points, Polytechnic is prob
ably not claiming too much in predict
ing a capture of fourteen points.
Among the Polytechnic men who are
expected to win without the possibility
of a doubt is Coover. in the 100-yard
dash This youngster has been de-
veloping into a collegiate sprinter of
late and last Saturday broke the South
ern California academic record, cover
ing the short distance in 10 1-3 seconds.
Captain Robertson is also held to
have an excellent chance in the hur-
dies, as he has been making the dis
tance easily in seventeen seconds,
which is just one second better than
the time that won at Stanford last
year.
Holmes and Lloyd will enter for the
mile and Holmes, who holds the local
championship, may outrun all the north
ern distance men.

"Honey" Regarded as Dangerous Man

Bested Him in Fistlc
Contest

Unless Mike "Twin" Sullivan evi-
dences more of his fickleness he may
be sent against Honey" Melody April
%. Mike wired McCarey yesterday
morning that he would sign with Mel
lody at the welterwelght limit and the
Pacific Athletic club manager sent word
for him to come on.
Melody has not been setting the
world afire of late, but he is a rafting
good fighter and should give the clever
Mike something to talk about. Mel
lody was generally supposed to have
won the weterweight championship
from Joe Walcott some time ago, but
according to those who should know
Melody did not weigh in at 142 pounds
and consequently had no right to claim
the title after defeating Walcott.
Joe Thomas who recently fought Mel
lody has the following to say Of Hon
ey's' ability:
"A fellow like Melody is most dan
gerous when he is nearly out. When 1
beat him in eleven rounds 1 might have
knocked him out any time after the
sixth, but l determined to finish the
job scientifically.
II wore him down and put him out.
and when the fight was over 1 didn't
have a bruise or a mark.
He is the gamest man 1 ever saw.
When he nnally fell his eyes were
closed and his mouth dropped open so
that his tongue was hanging out.
Il had to place my blows carefully to
finish him without injuring him seri-
ously, and even then he was still un-
when 1 had taken my bath,
dressed and left the building.
Lewis had Melody nearly beaten in
the first fight Then he lost his head
and stood and slugged with him in
corner. Melody swung on his jaw.
Jim Corbett lost to Jim Jeffries by TAX
ing a chance when there We're only a
couple of rounds more to fight
'Fitz lost his championship to Jeff by

try to win fights by slugging. It's fool

If Northerners Do Not Reach Los

cur Tomorrow-Prospect-
i've Chances

Hal Chase, who is now in Los An
geles awaiting the st. Mary's college
nine which is to meet st. Vincent's
said yesterday that he feared there
would be no game today, as the north
ern nine might be delayed because of
impeded traffic.
Should st. Mary's be unable to ar
rive in time for the game scheduled
for today it is probable that the inter-
collegiate contest will occur tomorrow.
st. Mary's has made arrangements to
meet the Seraph team in two games
tomorrow and Sunday. Just what will
be done as regards the whole affair
may be determined today.
Chase will not appear against the St.
Vincent team, Coach Haggerty object
ing on professional grounds. There is
no i'll feeling regarding the situation,
as Chase was an amateur himself but
couple of years ago, and appreciates
the amateur status.
AS regards the prospective chances
of st. Vincent's against the st. Mary's
team Chase said yesterday:
"If St. Vincents has as strong a
nine as 1 played against with the
Santa Clara team four years ago they
should give the st. Mary's team a
win from the st. Vincent team before.
and l don't believe st. Mary's is as
strong as Santa Clara was then.
"I understand, however, that st. Vim
cents has dropped off a bit recently
and we ought to give them a hard
