CLERKS HAVE HOLIDAY
All City Employees Would Like
 Rule Applied to Them.

The employees of the city clerks office and the bureau of water start- on the Saturday half holiday this af- ternoon. What nice thing 1t would be if this rule applied to all em- ployes of the city, the common la borers included. This is the way 1t ought to be and the city fathers might just as well introduce 1t now as later, for it is bound to come. When the nine hour day was first spoken of for the street depart ment some made big fuss about 1t. but MT Kelley, who was then at the head of the department, thought 1t wouldn't hamper him in any way. It was granted and nobody suffered. It would be so in case they had the Saturday half holiday, just as men now enjoy in all the factories. Isn't the city able to do as we'll by its help as the shops? The city government never was very generous with it's common laborers. Municipalities in other places pay more than men re- ceive here. Just why this should
 
 be so never was explained and prob ably never will be. But never mind about the past. It won't come again. We are interested only in the pres ent and the best way to deal with 1t is to surprise fellows down in the foul smelling manholes and filthy catch basins by telling them that from now until next October they will have every Saturday afternoon to themselves. The salaries of all the elective officers have been in creased this year and nobody has said a word against it. There was no reason why 1t should have been opposed. What reason is there to believe that the taxpayers wouldn't stand for better treatment for em- ployes of the street, sewer and water departments?

STATE TO PROBE IT.
Counsel for Haywood Denounce Gov
 ernor Gooding,

BOISE, Ida, May lS.-Judge Ere mont Wood, presiding at the trial of William D. Haywood, secretary of the Western Federation of Miners, for the murder of former Governor Frank Steunenberg, has directed the prose cutting attorney of Ada county to make an investigation of the circumstances under which Harry Orchard, confessed slayer of Steunenberg. was interview ed for publication and take any legal steps that his inquiry showed to be warranted.
 Judge Wood drew attention to the publication of the interview when he ascended the bench, and his request of counsel for advice as to the manner in which the court should deal with the incident brought from the defense the charge that Governor Gooding and certain newspapers, moved by the dis closure that there exists prejudice against Harry Orchard. had sought to influence the jury by an attempt to bolster up the credence that may be given to Orchards story and the sug- gestion that Governor Gooding be cit ed for contempt.
 Counsel for the prosecution defended Governor Gooding and the newspapers. included in the charges and showed that the applications for the interview with Orchard had been made weeks before the examination of talesmen disclosed any prejudice against him,
 James II. Hawley, for the state, ex- pressed his regret over the publica- tons of the interview with Orchard and disclaimed responsibility. The court drew attention to the utterances of Governor Gooding in connection with the statement that Orchard Is not to have immunity for his confession. MT. Richardson of counsel for the de- fense first exonerated the prosecution from all connection with the incident and then said:
 "It is patent as the fact that stand here that 1t was done for the express purpose of influencing these jurymen for the purpose of rehabilitating Or chard for the purpose of giving him credibility in the eyes of this jury and the eyes of the world. and it was a dastardly outrage upon this defense"
 NIT. Richardson drew attention to the statement of Governor Gooding that no promises had been made to Orchard and said:
 If 1t was not entirely patent to the whole civilized world that the governor of this state never intended that we should have fair trial for these de fendants it Is patent at this time"
 MT. Darrow, who followed Mr. Rich. ardson, suggested that the governor be called before the court

MINORS NOT ALLOWED
We're Needed Out oi Spectators
 in City Court To-Day.

Minors who have no business in the city court room will not be al- lowed there while court is in session. Captain Bannon this morning issued strict orders to Court Officer George Gabriel to keep minors out of the room during business hours, on the ground that it is no place for them, that they will not learn anything to their advantage in such place and they had better keep off the prem ises.
 Officer Gabriel, in consequence of this order, was busy for a quarter of an hour before court opened picking the minors from the adults and get ting them out of the room. It is singular what means young fellows employ to be allowed to listen to the court proceedings. but hereafter un- less they are witnesses they will be thrown out if it is found they have no business in the room.

JEWELER IN TROUBLE
Helping a Friend He Got Mixed
 Up in the Case.

Because of his good intentions and efforts to settle claim against a friend Sidney Hart, Grand street jeweler, finds himself defendant in a peculiar law suit in which Noble c. Griffin of Boston is the plaintiff.
 Jacob Harris ran a shoe store on Grand street and concluded after a time that he was getting into debt that would eventually overwhelm him if he continued in business. He kept at it, however, but finally gave up and then his creditors began to send in their claims. Mir Griffin of Boston had a claim for $54. Hart tried to negotiate settlement for $40 for his friend Harris and the of fer was accepted. But Harris was not abaie to pay, 1t seems, so Attorney Lauber, acting for the Bostonian, finding nothing do either by liar ris or Hart.>brought suit against the latter to recover the amount of the former.
 When the constable went to the store to serve the papers in the suit upon Hart he found no responsible party present who would accept ser- vice, so took formal possession by re- maining on the premises. When Hart returned and found the constable on deck he was the maddest man in town. He fled to Attorney Lynch for comfort. The attorney found a bondsman and the constable was shooed from the store. Thus Hart finds himself defendant in a suit for claim which he does not owe, but merely tried to settle for his friend the man who does owe it.

Eaters recent ly won handsome pipe and naturally showed it to his friends in the shop. He then placed it in his coat which he did not wear while working. In the evening when Eaters donned his coat, like child with new toy, he reach- ed for his pipe. He pulled out a pipe all right but it was not the new one. It was an old clay "doodeen." old enough to walk. Eaters endeavcrcd to find out who played the trick on him and after couple of days O; constant worry had given up hope of getting back his pipe. Consequently he was much surprised when he re- turned home last night and found a package in which was the meersch- aum. Eaters says he knew who had the pipe, and If he had not returned il warrant would have been made out for his arrest.
 The engineers who have been sur. veying North Riverside street for the speedway which the city intends to make there finished their preliminary work to-day. The course will extend almost the entire length of the street | and promises to be an excellent thoroughfare for the trotters, of which this city has a number. For a number of years the horsemen of Waterbury have tried the speed of their horses on the Watertown road and though the stretch of road was not of tht best, still it was the most suitable place in the town. The past winter racing on Sunday afternoons became so popular at the west end that any where from a thousand to two thou sand persons were on hand to watcl the brushes Some of the best hors' flesh in the city took part in h' sprints and there was keen rivair, as to the topnotcher of the city But the crowd became so large to wards the end and there were so man! trotters on hand that the races wer' carried on with danger both to tn spectators and the animals The mat ter was brought to the attention O the board of works and after consid eration it was decided to make speedway on North Riverside street In all probability 1t will be fnishe' before the snow falls next wintel and the public will in all probabillt, witness some fine races there.
