COURT F0RBlDS EMPLOYEES
RIGHT TO FRANK ARTICLES
Justice Day Renders Decision Import
ant to Express Companies
and Others

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-In an
opinion by Justice Day in various
press companies, the supreme court of
the United States today held that un-
der the Elkins law express companies
could not legally frank the property of
their own employees, or those Of other
companies.
The decision held that to grant this
privilege would be to exercise an un-
due preference under the law prohibit
ing the giving of rates not included in
the published schedules.
Justice Day in his opinion declared
there was no reason why congress
should not grant the express COM
panies the privileges enjoyed by rail-
road companies, but that the law must
be applied by congress and not by the
courts.

Japanese plantation laborers to strike
for higher wages and if necessary APP
peal to their government for warships to
back up their demands, the Shinbun, a
Japanese paper published at Hilo, pro-
poses as a last resort that the Japanese
leave Hawaii if their demands are not
complied with.
The Hilo paper is supported in its
proposals by the Nippu, another Jap
anese publication. issued in this city.
The Japanese employed on the big
sugar plantations of Hawaii have been
seeking an advance in pay for some
months, and the strike agitation, par
ticularly by the Japanese press, is be-
coming steadily more pronounced.

CITY OFFICIALS OF
STOCKTON ACCUSED
BY GRAND JURORS
Charged with offenses Similar to
Those Involving Mayor Harper.
Vice Protected-PoIice Chief
Also Implicated
Especial to The Herald.1

STOCKTON. Feb. 23.-Sensational
charges of graft were brought against
w. L. Shepard, a councilman of this
city, today as the result of the findings
of the San Joaquin county grand jury
which has filed it's reports after several
weeks of investigation.
Among the charges brought against
the councilman was the organization of
a company in which stock, practically
worthless, was sold to business men in
Stockton who, impOrtuned through
fear, nearly all bought.
Because similar charges have been
made against the mayor of Los An
geles considerable interest has been
aroused over this part of the grand
jury's report.
Shepard also was charged with hav-
ing received sums ranging from $40 to
$500 from various interests for per-
forming official acts to their benefit.
He is charged also with having award
ed city contracts to himself and with
willfully having held back certain re-
ports in the city council. CondOning
gambling in local saloons is one of the
minor charges brought against the
councilman. His trial was set for
March s.
Finding the stock in Shepard's COM
pany to be absolutely worthless Frank
W. Webster, one of the purchasers,
returned it gratis.
Among the specific charges brought
against him was that of receiving
money from the California Navigation
company and the Clark & Henry Con-
struction company.

A Pertinent Inquiry.
OLYMPIA. Sept. %. 1909.



EDITOR WASHINGTON STANDARD:
1t seems the time has arrived when
our Board of County Commissioners
should furnish the reading public
with the information concerning the
cost of administering Justice to Grim
lnalS in ThurSton county. The items
of expense in this connection ought
to be segregated by the Board and
given in each case in an unders tund-
able form. Some claim that the fees
of jurors alone in this county annual
~ reach the sum of five thousand dol
lars. This is certainly large drain
upon the current expense fund.
Another matter regarding which
there has of late been more or less
discussion: Whether it is advisable
for the county to stand the expense
of stenographer's fees in taking short
hand notes of the evidence given in
criminal trials ? If the accused is
acquitted. the State cannot appeal; if
he is convicted it is his affair to get
the testimony before the upper court
at his expense. An attorney said to
your correspondent, the county sim
ply pays out the taxpayers money to
aid the defendant to make a record
for the Supreme Court. The tax
payers of this county have the right
to know how and where their money
goes. The recent high levy has
caused inquiries in regard to the
cause from different sections of this
county for the past ten days.
Yours truly, VERITAs,

a FIdURE-HEAD CANDIDATE. Emil
Herman, of Tacoma, has filed his
nomination certificate with the Sec
rotary of State as the Socialist can
didate for Congress in the second
district, to succeed Frank Cushman,
deceased. He gives his occupation
as lumber jack. Many Socialists
in this county may not take kindly to
this nomination, because the candi-
date is classified with the Titus
crowd, who bolted the Everett CON
vention last July, and who have
been called Il the Injunction faction, "
who also retort by calling their OPP
ponentS the Radical Middle Glass
Opportunist faction" From all ac-
counts, the national organization
does not recognize the claims of IL
tus and his adherents. The latter
now propose to form party of their
own, to which only wage earners
will be admitted. thereby designat-
ing it prOletarian movement, while
professional men like DR.. Titus will
be admitted as honorary members
Those who know the doctor and his
coadjutors, assert they will not
drill with any movement unless they
can control it. A large body of
Socialists became tired of such work
and eliminated this crowd at the July
convention.

not in danger. Even policeman
was deceived, who told him to stop

Instead of obeying, Peterson swan
out into deeper water and again

MORE FREAK LEGISLATION. Hotel
men in Missouri are likewise having
trouble over the ninc-foot sheet
laws. All hotels in that State are
compelled to have sheets nine feet
long on their beds. When our late
lamented made that provision, we
all thought that the blundcr
could have originality to It's credit,
at least, but it can now he seen that
some silly qu,d n""c was only copy
ing after some other fool. in meddlc-
some interference with matters of in
dividual Judgment. 1t seems that
the merchants cut the linen the
proper length but that broad and
narrow hem reduces the length about
five inches but holds that the sheets
are of proper, tor rather Legal
length. When the law was passed,
the Senate committee said that
there was no desire to make the ho-
tells any better than those of the Bal
tlmore. in Kansas City, or the Plant
ers and Jefferson. in st. Louis.
Their standard was To use cloth 81
inches in width and 80 inches long
The hens on the ends reduce the
length All that is required is that
the upper sheet be long enough to
fold over the other covering at the
head. - So here, at last we have the
reason for all this buster. 1t is
simply to enable the bed maker "to
fold over the other covering of the
bed. Verify. the law makers have
used a cimcter to sever u cObweb.

TEMPEST IN A TEAPOT. The City
Council proceedings have degenerat-
ed into veritable " boys play" Two
of the members have resigned, and
others would do so were not the
present tenure soon 20 end. Two po-
licemen have been suspended for ex-
pressing political preferences, and a
trial being demanded to show cause,
date has been set and time again, to
prefer charges and submit proof.
Tuesday night the charges were
promised and a large audience as
sembled to see the infantile conten-
ton of the opposing forces. But it
seems one side (thc Mayor and Chief
of Police was afraid, and the other
BOSS Mackay) dasn't. So the mat
ter was put off till Monday evening.
The comments of the lobby, il stated,
on leaving the Council chamber,
would make interesting reading.
