OCEAN SHORE ROAD
SUED FOR WAGES.
Test Case Will Be Made Against
Time Check System by
Cooperative League
Attorney Denounces Railway
Company and Threatens to
Go the Limit in Court

As test case in the campaign
against the time check system. suit
was filed in the justice court yesterday
by 70. Backus, member of the Unem-
ployed cooperative league, against the
Ocean Shore railway company for q
claim of $3.50.
The time check was made payable
to A. Genatto, laborer, and, after
passing through various hands, was as
signed finally to Backus, who declared
in his complaint that he was unable to
collect. The check, according to the
data on its face, was payable April Is.
1909, for 80 days work done during
the month of December, 1908. at the
rate of 81 a day OF the total amount
so cents was deducted for hospital
service.
Attorney G. B. Benham, representing
the plaintiff, said that the case was a
test one. I'VE are anxious to find out"
he said, 'by what right these firms
refuse to pay their workmen and
whether or not they have legal
ground for their action This is the
scores of Others"
Backus was emphatic in his denun-
citation. The present instance" he
said, lis one of many, but it has been
selected for prosecution because of its
aggravated character. We propose to
go the limit in showing up this cor
poration, which has always received
generous treatment from San Fran
cisco and which is guilty of such inhu-
manity TO one of its humblest citizens" !"

LIVH DAFTER HANGING.

Numerous Instances Of Persons DS-
ing Rssuscitated.
Innumerabie instances Of resuscita-
tioI after hanging are recorded, says
London Tit-Bits. Henry III. granted
a pardon to q woman named meta dc
Balsham, who was suspendde from 8
o'clock on q Monday to sunrise Of
Thursday. and afterward "came to-"
DR.. Pot tells of Swiss who was hung
up thirteen times without effect, on &C.
count of the peculiar condition of his
windpipe, it having been converted into
bone by disease.
Annie Green, a servant girl, was
hanged at Oxford III 1850 and recover
ed fourteen hours afterward under a
doctors treatment. Mrs. Cope, who
was hanged at the same place eight
years later, also recovered. On Sept.
2, 1724, Margaret Dickson was hanged
at Edinburgh, and recovered while be.
ing carried to the grave. She lived for
many years afterward and was uni
versally known as "Half- Hanged Mag
gy Dickson"
A housebreaker named Smith was
hanged at Tyburn in 1705. A reprieve
came when he had been suspended a
quarter of an hour. He was cut down,
bled and revived. William Duell, hang
ed in London in 174O, revived and was
transported. A man hanged in Cork
In 1785 was taken in hand by physi-
clan, who brought him around in six
hours, and we are told the fellow had
the herve to attend a theatrical per-
Torrance the same evening.
Richard johnson, hanged at Shrews-
bury on Oct. 8, 1906, obtained prom
Use from an under sheriff to place him
In the coffin without changing his
clothes. After hanging half an hour he
still showed signs Of life, and on ex-
animation it was found he had wrap
ped cords about his body connected
with hooks at the neck, which prevent.
ed the rope from doing its work. The
apparatus was removed and the man
hanged effectively.

BILLION DoLLAR CONGRESS.
One Closing This Week Has Largest
lamentations on Record.

Appropriations on Record.
Now that billion-dollar sessions of
congress are the rule little other than
appropriation legislation can be enacted
during the short sessions, and the one
to close this week is no exception. The
appropriations probably will be the
largest on record, even exceeding the
zoos, 100000 provided for at the first
session. AS only one of the Is general
appropriation bills has been sent to
the president for his signature an accur.
ate statement of the amount to be ap.
propriated is impossible.
Scarcely any Of the general policies
of the country were touched upon at
this session. Discussion of the secret
service, the Panama canal, the Browns
vile affair and the Tennessee Coal and
Iron company purchase has brought the
administration prominently in view. The
veto Of the census bill because the en-
ployes for the taking of the decennla
census were not to be placed under civil
service regulations was a feature in an
other interesting chapter. This bill goes
over to the special session.
The appropriation Of 100000 for the
relief Of the Italian earthquake suffer
ers has been spoken of as the mos
significant enactment of the session.
companion piece of legislation was en-
acted in the first session when the re
mission of the remainder Of the Chimes,
indemnity was authorized.

ADMIRAL EVANS IN SPOKANE.
Will Lecture the Evening of March Is
at Armory.

Will Lecture the Evening of March Is
at Armory.
The lecture of Admiral Robley D.
Evans, "Fighting Bob," which will be
given in the Armory, Spokane, March
1S, promises to be one Of the events of
the season, as the admiral has proven
to be as great a success on the platform
as on the bridge of a battleship and
his lecture "From Hampton Roads to
San Francisco" is said by eastern
critics to be masterpiece.
Crowded houses have greeted him
wherever he has appeared and judging
by the interest already taken in Spo-
kane, that city will prove no exception
His lecture contains stories Of the
many things seen and done in his
strenuous forty years Of service told
as only he can tell it. From what we
can learn, the admiral has the peculiar
faculty Of being able to talk to the in.
dividual listener in such a manner as
to hold him spellbound and send him
home wishing he could have heard more
of it.
The 10000 club is to be congratu.
lated in securing this, the greatest Of
our heroes for Spokane appearance.
The tickets will be on sale at the
piano store, southeast corner Sprague
and Post street, Monday, March 8, al
81 each, and can be secured by mai
by sending check or money order tc
