ENTIRELY TOO
MUCH INTEREST
Judge in Hartie NastineSS
Threatens to Punish
Newspaper.

Pittsburg, Feb. 2S.-When the Hartje
conspiracy case was resumed today.
Judge MacFarlane asked the attorneys
to take their seats, as he had a state
ment to make. He said:
Il hold in my hand a newspaper
which attracted my attention because
of the headline, 'Hooe's Lies Read to
the Jurors One of the questions to be
decided by the jury is whether the depo-
sition is true or false. There must be
evidence produced in this case in order
to convince the jury as to the accuracy
or fafsity of the statements made. 1t
is a disgrace to civilization, and if any,
thing like that appears again in any
newspaper, I shall have the district at
torney direct the county detective to
prosecute the publisher of that paper
The matter referred to was the depo-
sitiOn of Clifford HoOe. the negro coach
man. read to the jury yesterday, re-
f1ecting on the character of Mrs. Hartje
This afternoon the confessions of
Hooe, repudiating his deposition of in
timacy with Mrs. Hartje, were offered
in evidence by the commonwealth. The
attorneys for the defense strenuously
objected on the ground that they were
procured illegally. A long argument
ensued, resulting in the confession made
to John S. Robb. jr.. who at the time
was first assistant district attorney, be-
ing thrown out by the court. Robb is
now assisting the prosecution. The dis
position of the second confession is still
undecided.

MEN TO FILL VACANCIES
No More Boys Will Be Employed as
Special Messengers in the Va
rious Postofices.

Washington, Feb. 2S.-Postmaster
General Meyer is of the opinion that it
is prejudicial to the welfare of young
America" to employ him as a special
delivery messenger in the postal serv-
ice, and has issued an order to the eff
feet that whenever a vacancy occurs
in the force of special delivery messen-
gers the position shall not be filed, and
that sub-letter carriers and clerks shall
be employed to effect special delivery.
He states that these messenger boys
are called upon frequently to visit low
resorts, and are often compelled to
travel long distances late at night in
lonely outlying sections of the great
cities, falling to make deliveries at
times through fear or WEAKNESS. The
object of the order is to bring about
the gradual discontinuance of the serv-
ice of these juvenile messengers.
Special delivery messengers have
been employed since 1885, and at pres
ent there are 2,5O5 engaged at 1S9 post
offices.
In New York substitute carriers have
delivered all special delivery matter for
a number of years, and in Boston only
thirty-seven boys are employed.

st. Paul. Mimi. Feb. 2S.-There will
be no reduction in the salaries of the
telegraphers on the Northern Pacific on

except that some of them may have
split tricks" and that those who work

when the general committee represent
ing the Northern Pacific telegraphers
received a letter from Third Vice Pres
ident Levey of the Northern Pacific
The letter states, however, that mo
meal hour will be allowed out of the
nine-hour trick"

GREAT VICTORY
FOR THE WOMEN
Suffrage Bill Passes the First
Reading in House of
Commons.

ing in the house of commons this fore
noon by vote of 271 to 80, and as soon
as the news reached Westminster pal
ace the waiting crowds of excited wo-
men suffragists who had assembled
there broke into round after round of
cheers. The measure, which was in
troduced by Henry Yofke Stranger, lib

Identical with the bill of w. H. Dick

north division of st. Pancras, which
was defeated March 8, 1907.
Herbert Gladstone's Speech.
Herbert Gladstone, the home secre-
tary, spoke in behalf of the govern
ment, and said he left the decision of
the house to the views of its individual
members. He declared that, person.
ally, he favored the principles of the
bill, but he thought that the great
public opinion would have to be moved
before any effect could be given to it.
Mr.. Gladstone continued,
there has been a great and growing
in favor of granting suf-
frage to women, but it still lacks num-
bers and it has not been demonstrated
that women, as a whole, desire to Sc
cure the privilege of voting Party
lines were completely ignored in the
voting.
Crowds in Waiting.
Great crowds of women awaited the
result in the vicinity of the house of
commons and a strong detachment OF
police, mounted and on foot, had been
brought up to guard against possible

known supporters of the women's
