MRS. HAMS NOT
 ASEC0ND EVELYN

CT the revelations that came to him of his wife's unfaithfulness. We know that his brother, T. Jenkins IIains, tried to keep him in restraint and we can show that Jenkins had no part in the tragedy
 "As for Peters sake there is no bitterness toward her. We believe sic was led astray, and if she is inclined to come to the aid of her husband, it will not be because We have sought to make terms with her about her children"
 Joseph A. Shay of the counsel for the defense is credited with inspir- ing the idea that Mrs. Hains would testify for her husband if she were rightly approached.
 He declares that she can be com pelled to testify for the defense, any how, if she is subpoenaed, but that her testimony is not necessary be- cause the written confession consti- tutes 8 defense in itself.

WlnturOp, MdSS., Aug. AI.-MrS. Claudia Libbey-Hains will not go on the witness stard in her husbands defense in the manner Evelyn Nesbit Thaw did and submit to grilling by the prosecution, if her lawyers can prevent it. This was learned definite ly today by a Hearst News Service re- porter. Mrs Hains would adopt such a course as means to obtain the custody of her children only as last resort
 She looks forward almost with ter TOT to the trial of the case, both be- cause of the publicity that must come, and because of feeling that she may be dragged in as witness against her wishes.
 While she would not discuss the case, on the advice of Frederick Nor ton, her lawyer here, neighbors in Winthrop who have her confidence say that she is indifferent to the out come of her husbands suit, no matter what it may be if she can only gain control of the children Mir. Norton said today: "I will make no legal move of any sort in behalf of Mrs. Hains until the after the magistrates hearing in Queens county. After that shall probably outline our course of action. Following the hearing and the conclusions We draw from it, Mrs. Hains, with my approval, will doubt less issue a statement to the public giving her side of the case. I can not announce now the points which would be made in her staten ent, but it will be designed to refute some of the slanderous statements which have been attributed to Captain Hains, his brother and their friends. I have de- termined on behalf of my client that this sort of thing shall stop"
 New York Aug. 22-Maior John P. Eains, who went to Washington with his father, General Hains, had this to say about the case before his de parture: While it was the general impression among friends of the fam fly that Thornton was of q stronger mentality than Peter, we who knew them best were aware that Peter had a mind of his own and could not be easily swerved from a fixed purpose He was man of strong character.

Dan Avery, former roustabout in
Pendleton saloons, killed himself in
the jail at Athena shortly after noon
today while suffering from delirium
tremens He killed himself by cutting
his throat with broken pint bottle.
Avery had been staying for several
days with Jerry ST. Dennis on the
reservation and escaped while violent
from delirium tremens and went to
Athena, where he was captured by
the marshal. When that officer went
to dinner at 12 o'clock he left Avery
in the town jail for safe keeping.
When he returned but short time
later he found his prisoner dead.
Finding a bottle in the Jail Avery
had broken 1t and with the sharp
edge succeeded in cutting his throat.
He severed both the jugular vein and
the wind pipe. Shortly after the find
ing OF the body Coroner Folsom was
notified of the tragedy, and he will go
to Athena. though It is doubtful II
any inquest will be held.
Avery was about 40 years of age
and is said to have been around Pen
dletop for several years. He worked
as swamper in saloons during the
winter months and had worked as
harvester during the summer.

Vote FayOrs a Strike.

Spokane, Feb. 26.-As a result OF
vote taken by the railway tele-
graphers on this division Of the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific. the
Railway Telegraphers will go out on
n strike If the threatened cut in wages
is made on March l.
The men assert that the railroads
are attempting to make them pay the
expenses Of the recent federal nine
hour law which compels the railroads
to hire great number of extra tele-
graphers in order to relieve the pres
ent force.
Today the men work 12 hours per
day for s75 per month on an aver
age. The roads talk Of cutting the
pay from IS to SO on the month and
the new law cuts the work down to
nine hours.

SUSTAINED 1O-HOUR LAW.
Supreme Court Says Women Are En-
titled TO Humane Treatment.

A Washington dispatch says:
The United States supreme court
today upheld the constitutionality of
the Oregon law of February 10, 1908,
providing that no female shall be en-
ployed in any mechanical establish
ment or factory or laundry in that
state more than 10 hours day, the
decision of the state supreme court
in the case of Muller VS. State of Ore
gon being affirmed Muller was con-
victed of violation of this law and the
state supreme court affirmed his con-
viction.
Appeal was taken to the United
States supreme court on the ground
that the Oregon law infringed the
right of an individual under the 14th
amendment to make her own con,
tracts and on the further alleged
ground that this was class legislation,
discriminating between the sexes.

East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-02-26

Butte, Mont, Feb. ga railway
telegraphers' strike is imminent on
the Northern Pacific railroad. The
management has notified the men
that they will be cut from IS to $40
per month. The cut goes into effect
March 1, and is directly due to the
new law which compels the railroads
to limit the work Of labor for the
keymen to nine hours.
Today the telegraphers are voting
on the subject of accepting the cut.
II they decide to reject 1t 1t will mean
a complete tie-up of the system for
some time at least.
The new federal nine hour law will
compel the employment OF hundreds
Of telegraphers and probably cause a
short supply Of skilled operatives in
this country.
