SQUARE DEAL FOR WOMEN.
President Roosevelt Advocates an
Eight Hour Day for Wives.

Washington, June 3.-"Give your
wife an 8-hour day." was President
Roosevelt's advice to a large crowd of
workingmen whom he addressed from
the platform of his car on his return
trip from the west.
1--WE mighty little use,'' he said,
for the man who is always declaim-
ing in favor of an 8-hour day for him
self and does not think anything at
all of having an S-hour day for his
wife, Give fair play all around and
remember that the woman needs fair
play even more than the man. 1 be-
lieve in an S-hour day for the man,
but 1 want to see the mans wife
given as good a show as the man.
Remember that your first duty in
being a good neighbor is to be a good
neighbor to those who are nearest to
you. Be a good neighbor to your
own wife and children

MAXWELL CASE IS DISMISSED ON
 PRELIMINARY
Consensus of Opinion Is That Whole Matter Was Comedy of EnorS-0fficer and PnS- oner Both Mixed,

What seems in reality to have been comedy of errors instead of e boll attempt to commit the crime of rob bery in the presence of an officer. was that which came up for investigation in Judge Burdicks court yesterday afternoon under the title of the Ter ritory of Arizona vs. Charles MaN- well, growing out of the arrest of the latter by officer Thomas for an alleg- ed attempt to pick the pockets of 2 drunken man.
 W. B. Cleary appeared for the te- fendant and Assistant District Attor- ney Ross for the prosecution.
 On last Wednesday morning q drunken man by the name of Fowler was lying on the pavement in the " cinity of the railroad depot, and ac' cording to the testimony of officri Thomas. when on the stand yeste.' day, Maxwell was leaning over him Thomas picked the man up and asked him his name. but the follower ot Bacchus was so indisposed that ht was unable to answer. As the ofric.. was proceeding with the man to iail it was alleged that Maxwell endeav' ored to pick FowIer's pocket. The of ficer struck him ana he ran. Later Maxwell was arrested after scuffl' with Thomas.
 A negro porter also testified ---fol the prosecution. but as neither the of ficer nor the porter saw Maxwell talk any money, Assistant District Attor ney Ross moved to dismiss the case
 The facts of the matter as near a can be ascertained from both side are as follows:
 In the first place Maxwell did no know that Thomas was an office when he arrived on the scene. ant thought that he might be som' stranger. who had a sinister motive fl trying to take the drunk home. Or the other hand, Thomas was probabl! mistaken in regard to Maxwelrs plac ing his hand in Fowler's pocket.
 Naturally. however. the office when ne thought his prisoner was be ing robbed. struck at the man whom as he thought, was a truly desperat' character. Maxwell, just as natur' ally. when he received a blow ovel the head with a billy, thought thai some highwayman was after him ana being unarmed took to the tall uncu' by way of Naco Road.
 Later. smarting under his injured head, Maxwell returns to town tC find an officer to let him know of the doings of the foOtpad. when to his surprise he again meets Thomas and another scuffle ensues. which is term mated by MaxweIl's learning that he has been resisting an officer, and is landed in jail.
 This seems to be the only reason able explanation of the matter, as fl is not at all likely that Maxwell, a man who has hitherto borne an ex- ceIIent reputation, would endeavor to rob a man with an officer at the fel lows other side, and again, Thomas would not have administered thrash ing and placed a man in jail unless he was ssst as firm in the conviction that the fellow had committed crime.
