watch Indeed, only last night very
curious affair occurred. It was Wit
messed by a man who earns his living
washing carriages in the news close
by, and who has for years taken an
interest in the mysterious home OF
Samuel Staham
'He had been washing carriages till
very late, and at about half past two
in the morning was going up Park
Lane towards Edgware Road. where
he lives. when his attention was
drawn to the fact that as he passed
Statham's house the front door was
slightly aiar. Somebody was waiting
there for the expected arrival of a
stranger. and, hearing the carriage
washers footstep. had opened the
door in readiness. There was no
light in the hall. and the mans first
suspicion was that OF burglars about
to leave the place.
Next instant, however, the reputa-
ton for mystery which the place had
earned, occurred to him, and he re-
solved to pass on and watch. This
he did, retiring into doorway lit
tie further down. and standing In the
shadow unobserved he waited.
Half an hour passed. but nothing
unusual occurred, until just after the
clock had struck three, rather tall,

in evening dress. and wore pumps.

man describes him as an aristocrat.c-
looking person, and evidently a for

furtively to satisfy himself that he
was not being watched, and then slip

house, and, at signal from Levi, came
up to the kerb. Then the long. heavy
box was brought out by the servant
and his master, heaved up on to the

of the Marble Arch

JAPANES ERAID.
Jap Spies Raid Armory. The Sharp
shooters Prevent Theft.

San Francisco, Jan. 28.-Bullets
fired with deadly intent by national
guard of sharpshooters frustrated a
second attempt to rob the armory of
Companies K and M, Fifth infantry
of the national guard. In the build
ing are kept many valuable militia
ry maps of the San Francisco coast
defense and Typographical plans of
the peninsula.
That the attack on the building
was not an ordinary burglary seems
apparent from the persistency of the
mysterious visitors. Early Saturday
morning and again in the darkness
of Sunday morning, two men tried
to gain an entrance to the premises.
Fearing that third attempt might
be made, the officers in command or
dered the guard of soldiers doubled
last night. Armed men watched the
premises from nightfall Sunday until
dawn this morning.
From the descriptions of the tres
passers furnished the officers of the
regiment by the sentries, the auth
critics are working on the theory that
Japanese spies were seeking to gain
entrance to the secrets of the armory.

THE BLACK LIST
LAW IS VOID
SUPREME COURT KILLS MEAS
URE THAT PROTECTS ALL
UNION LABOR.
Decides Congress Exceeded its Pow
ers. Employers Have the Right to
Discharge Employees for Any and
all Reasons.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-The constl-
nationality of the act of congress of
June 1, 1898, prohibiting railway COM
panies doing interstate commerce
from discriminating against members
of labor organizations in the matter
of employment was called into ques-
ton by the case of William Ada1r
versus the United States, which was
decided by the supreme court of the
United States favorable to Adair.
The opinion was by Justice Harlan,
and held the law to be repugnant to
the constitution.
The court held that Adair, as mas
ter mechanic of the Louisville q
Nashville Railroad company, had
right to discharge an employe be-
cause he was member of a labor
organization, just as it was the en-
ploye's right to quit such employ
ment because of his membership in
such organization. Such a course,
the decision added, might be unwise,
but, regarded as a mere matter of
right, there could be no doubt. Con-
gress could not, under the Constitu-
ton, authorize a violation of con-
tracts under the guise of protecting
interstate commerce.
Justice McKenna delivered dis
senting opinion favorable to the law,
in which he said the courts decision
proceeds along very narrow lines.
The case came to the supreme court
on writ of error from the United
States district court for the Eastern
district of Kentucky.

MARINETTE HAS NEW MAYOR.
Joseph Fisher Is Chosen to Complete
Term of Warren J. Dover.

Marinette.-At a meeting of the
Marinette city council Joseph Fisher
was elected to fill the unexpired term
of office of Mayor Warren ]. Davis,
who left the city to take UP resi-
dence in Racine. Davis was elected
to his office on the Republican ticket,
while Fisher is a Democrat. This
means that partisan politics will be
eliminated from the spring elections
in this city, and that the offices will
be divided between the two parties.
A resolution was passed ordering the
mayor, city attorney, and chairman
of the board of public works to pre-
pare complaint upon the rates of the
Marinette Water company, to be for
warded to the rate commission of the
state of Wisconsin.
