IMPORTANT CASE DECIDED
EIeHT.HoUR DAY DOES NOT AP-
PLY TO pREDoE WoRkMEN.
Justice Holmes Of United States Su-
preme Court Says They Must
Be Classed as Seamen.

washington, May IA. - Justice
Holmes of the supreme court Of the
United States Monday announced the
decision Of the court in number Of
cases involving the construction Of
the eight-hour law of 1892 by which
the employment of laborers and me-
chanies on public works is limited to
eight hours per day. The defendants
were all prosecuted criminally, and
were all found guilty and fined by
the trial court. The suits were insti-
tuted especially for the purpose Of
testing the applicability Of the law to
laborers and mechanics employed on
iredges in river and harbor improve
ments, but other points also were nee
essarily involved The court held the
law to be constitutional, but held that
1t does, not apply to laborers and
mechanics on dredges, and that men
so employed cannot be held to be en-
ployed upon public works =
The decision will have immediate
bearing upon the letting of contracts
for the sS7,0oO,000 worth of river and
harbor work authorized by the last
session Of congress, Most of the con-
tracts under that law were held up by
the war department pending the set
Element OF the cases.
Justice Holmes opinion that men
employed on dredges in river and har.
Dor improvements are not laborers or
mechanics, was based on the ground
that in effects such men are seamen,
to whom the law is not applicable. He
said that all other employment is in.
cidental to the work Of the men on
the dredges, and to their services as
seamen. and that therefore they must
be classified as seamen.

THE COREY GILMAN WEDDING
CEREMONY, PERFORMED IN NEW
YORK JUST AFTER MIDNIGHT.
The Wedding Supper Was the Most
Sumptuous Affair Ever Served
in the City.

New York, May 14.-In order to es-
cape the unlucky thirteenth of the
month, William Ellis Corey, president
Of the United States Steel corporation,
and Mabelle Gilman, the former act
ress, were not married until after mid
night Tuesday morning. The cere-
mony took place in the Royal suite
at the Hotel Gotham, Fifth avenue and
Fifty-fifth street, in the presence of
small party of friends of the contract
ing couple. s
The ceremony was performed by
Rev. ]. L. Clark, pastor of the Bush
wick Avenue Congregational church
of Brooklyn. At
Long before the theaters had poured
their thousands into the night thin
line of curious people gathered about
the hotel and gazed expectantly at the
brilliant windows, from which flashed
great bars of ochre light across Fifth
avenue, in vain hopes of catching
some fleeting glimpse Of the wedding
party.
The more venturesome brayed the
Imposing uniformed doorman Of the
hotel and wandered about the Office
and corridors. but none successfully
essayed entrance to the Royal suite.
Only the few invited guests passed
that carefully guarded portal. Detec-
tives moved in and about the crowds
that mingled in the hotel corridors,
and all who came under suspicion
were passed along the street.
The Royal suite in the Hotel Gotham
Is on the third floor of the Fifth ave.
nue. side, and consists of eight rooms.
1t is secluded. The salon and the
dining rooms were decorated Monday
night with hundreds of American
beauty roses. The management of the
hotel and those in charge Of the dec
orations were given carte blanche, and
the wedding is said to have cost $4,000.
The banquet was one of the most
sumptuous ever served in the city.

PURE FOOD LAW
TO BE ENFORCED
SECRETARY WILSON RETURNS TO
WASHINGTON.
ACTIVITIES TO BEGIN JUNE /
Fourteen Inspectors At the Start =
John H. CARRIER OF Pella Will
Serve As One of
Than

Washington, D. c., May 14.-Secre-
tary Wilson, who has returned from
the west, has turned his attention al.
most wholly to completing arrange
ments for enforcement of the pure
food law. On June / actual work OF
enforcing this important law will be.
gin.
1t is announced that at that time four
teen inspectors will be sent out into
the field to gather in the open market
samples of food articles and drugs to
be tested by chemists of the bureau
of chemistry of the department of ag-
riculture. In case any such samples
are found adulterateu or misbranded,
parties responsible will be turned over
to the department of justice for prose
cution. Secretary Wilson intends to
see that the law is rigidly enforced, in
asmuch as manufacturers have had
ample time to conform to new legis-
lation. "
viii Increase Inspectors.
Eventually the number of inspectors
will be increased to thirty or forty.
Each inspector will have district as
signed to MIN. Secretary Wilson be-
lieves that leading manufacturers OF
the country have taken pains to put
their business in shape to conform to
the pure lood law. The principal vio--
lators will probably be small manu-
facturers and persons who want to
test controVerted questions in court.
john H. CARRIER, formerly of Pella,
well known in Des Moines, will be one
of the pure food inspectors. Mr. Gar
Der has been in the census bureau
about seven years and has done mucn
work there that is of notice. He will
leave the census bureau May Is and
will enter the department of agricul-
ture May 16. He will receive $4,000
per year and expenses. Mr.. CARRIER is
one of about score of applicants who
passed the civil service examination
for one of these inspectorships, about
1000 persons in all taking the examin-
alton and only few of them getting
through.
Pleased With Meat Inspection.
Secretary Wilson expressed himself
today as greatly satisfied with the
manner in which he found the meat
inspection law was being carried out
in his western trip. He found time
to go to his home at Traer for two
days. He does not Ink there is war
rant for pessimlsm as to the crop out
look. He says he found small grains
in Iowa in 1airly good shape. While
corn will, of course, suffer il cold
weather continues, he says that if
warm weather comes on in the next
ten days there need be no apprehen-
sion
The Oskaloosa herald., 1907-05-16

crops in the southern half of the state
have suffered most heavily.
Good progress mas been made in
corn planting, and the soil has been
sufficiently dry to preserve the seed
from damage by the protractei cold
weather. The bulk of the corn acre
age is in fine condition, and planting
is likely to be completed as early as
usual. The worst effects of the abb
normal weather are in evidence in the
meadows and pastures. The hay crop
is likely to be very light.

JOHN ?. LANE DEAD
Pioneer Of Bristol and Kenosha
Died Suddenly at His Home
on Park Street
LONG A RESIDENT OF COUNTY

John p. Lane, one of the pioneer
settlers of the town of Bristol and a
resident of Kenosha for more than
twenty-five years, died very suddenly
at his home Ala Park street just after
midnight Thursday. Death came
as the result of cerebral hem
orrhage. The end was not expected
by any of the relatives and friends of
Mr.. Lane and the announcement of
his death Friday morning came as a
great shock to his friends. The de-
ceased had been in unusual good
health on Wednesday and had walked
down town and back three times dur
ing the day. He returned to his
home at six o'clock in the evening and
sat and talked with his daughter,
Miss Daisy Lane, who was preparing
supper. He ate hearty supper and
sat down and talked till eight O'Clock
when he started to his room to retire.
Miss Lane went to the room a few
minutes later and her father stated
that he was very comfortable and ex-
pected to have a fine nights sleep.
a minute later he was attacked with
the hemorrhage and he at once be-
came unconscious. Physicians were
summoned to the house at once but he
was in a dying condition when they
arrived.
John Page Lane was born at Ray
mond, Rockingham county, New
Hampshire, Dec. Is, 1921. TT the
early forties he came west and settled
in the town of Bristol, but with the
coming of the gold craze in 1849 he
twice made the trip across the plains
working as blacksmith
Ten years later he returned to
Bristol and took up portion of sec
ton of government land. He resided
on the farm until twenty-five years
ago, when he came to Kenosha. Since
that time he had lived retired life.
The deceased is survived by FIVE
children, Frank Lane of Tombstone,
ARIZONA; John Lane of Bristol; Carl
Lane of Baker Greek, Alaska; Mrs. c..
E. Williams of Bristol and;Miss Daisy
Lane of Kenosha.

$780, FOR ELKs
Philadelphia Making Great Plans for
Entertainment of Grand Lodge

Entertainment of Grand Lodge
A fund Of 100000 has been sub
scribed by the business men of Phila-
delphia, for the purpose of entertain
ing the Elks, when they hold their
Annual Reunion and Convention next
July. This is the largest amount Of
money that has ever been raised in
Philadelphia for convention purposes,
and is, therefore, magnificent tri-
butte to the popularity of the Benevcl-
ent and Protective Order of Elks.
In addition TO the above amount, it
is expected that the City Council will
take official recognition of the Con-
vention, by appropriating $4,000, for
decorating and Illuminating the prin-
cipa1 business streets of the city DUR
ing Reunion week. It is freely pre-
dicted by the Elks, who have visited
Philadelphia during the past few
weeks, that the coming Convention
will be the largest and most success
ful ever held by the order. There is
every indication that the ''High
Water Mark" of Elkdom will be at
tanned in Philadelphia during the
week beginning July 18th. Fifty Ke-
noshans are now arranging to attend.

MAY BE NEW BANK
Chicago Men Seeking to Pur-
chase Property at Corner of
Main and Market Streets
OFFER EPSTEIN BIC BONUS

It is reported that another move
ment has been started to secure the
opening of a new bank in Kenosha,
and to this end Chicago parties inter
ested in the financial institution are
seeking to purchase the building at
the corner of Main and Market street
recently purchased by Harry Epstein
of Chicago, from O. M. Calkins It is
asserted on the best of authority that
Mr.. Epstein has been offered SIS, 900
for the corner. At the time Of the
purchase, few weeks ago the Chica-
go man paid $40, 700 for the building.
1t is admitted that the corner is one of
the best locations in the city for the
opening of a bank.
Emanuel Epstein, who is in charge
of the interests of Harry Epstein in
this city, was seen today and he adj
mitted that his brother had been
offered large bonus for his purchase
by men who desired to open a bank
here, but he stated that he had no
idea of the identity of the men. The
matter was left open and it is expect
ed that the men will return for an
other conference later. Mr.. Epstein
has had plans drawn for the erection
Of a large building on the lot, but will
not start work until the first of spring
and it is probable that he may sell
the property to the Chicago men seek
ing to open bank.
In the last two or three years there
have been several propositions for the
opening Of new bank in the city,
but none of them has amounted to
anything. The Komp fiasco in Ke-
nosha had tendency to put an end
to all experimenters starting banks
in the city and it is pretty probable
that no company of fnanciers will
open bank here without proper
backing. The developments in the
matter will be watched with interest
by the people of the city.
