GOOD RUSSIAN LABOR LAWS
Cars Kingdom Makes Unique Claim
to HayIno Best Statutes
en- Globe.

Russia. havirg been denounced all
over the world as the worst %oppressor
of the working people, now comes Tor
ward with the unique claim that she
has the best labor laws on the globe.
Russia declares that ~"rluck-me" stores
cannot exist in the country. as they do
in America, for example. Employers
are compelled to pay wages In cash.
not In food, clothing, ETC., and bosses
disobeying the law are fined s25 to $3.50.
The employer Is also required to take
hygienic care of his laborers and to
supply them medical attendance free
of charge. In a factory where a thou
sand persons are employed a hospital
with at least ten beds must be pro-
vided and all medical attention free.
The working day is limited between
six a. m. and seven p m. Labor on
Sundays and 40 holidays In the year
is prohibited, except In cases OF actu-
al necessity, and not more than 100
hours overtime may be worked In any
wear. On the other hand, employers
may fine hands for any OF the three
causes: First, for defective work;
second, for absence without sufficient
cause: third, for infraction of shop
regulations. In determining what Is
defective work the employer is not
the sole Judge. The government fac
tory inspector may be appealed 10.
Fines are calculated by the nature OF
defects and not by the loss sustained
by the employer. Fines for absence
without sufficient aus may not be
imposed unless the absence Is for at
least a half day. No fine for absence
on account of fire, flood, Illness of the
workman's wife or parents, or death
of either. Strikes are prohibited and
punishable by imprisonment, depend
ing on the damage caused. The gov
eminent also Furnishes employees by
Imprisonment not to exceed three
months and prohibits them from man.

Vital Statistics a Business Asset.

The Journal of the American
Medical Association for Sept. 8.
contains the following editorial
comments on vital statistics in
Mississippi:
The Mississippi Land Develop
ment Association desires to at
tract immigration to that state.
In preparing literature. the COM
mittee wished to make positive
statements concerning the com
parative healthfulness of the
state. When the association at
tempted to secure reliable data
on this point, however, it was
found that no records of any sort
existed by which the mortality
or morbidity Of the state could
be ascertained. This proved such
a serious drawback that business
men interested in real estate and
land development have taken up
the question as a business propo-
sition and are inaugurating a
movement for the passage of a
vital statistics law in order that
official records of the states
healthfulness may be obtained.
This action in a southern state is
particularly gratifying, as that
section has for many years been
without adequate vital statistics
Only by carefully compiled of
fetal records is it possible to over
come the popular impression,
which was created by serious
epidemics in past years, of tt e
imperative unhealthfulness of
that portion of the country. 1t
is therefore important that SOU
thern states adopt and enforce
adequate vital statistic laws in
order that the mortality and
morbidity of the population may
be a matter of record and not a
rumor of surmise. Increasing
healthfulness consequent on the
suppression of malaria, yellow
fever and hookworm disease,
will be one of the best business
assets for the new south.

LAW BUSINESS IN GERMANY
Lawyers Are Not Allowed to Advef
tise, and Their Fees Are Fixed
by Statute.

The German law fixes the exact fees
which a German attorney has to claim
for all kinds of professional work and
the r~echtsanwalt can charge neither
more Tor less.
These fees apply to all matters OF
the civil code and of criminal cases.
The amount, according to the Green
Bag, depends exclusively on the value
of the object of contention.
1t is an old though still unfulf1lled
wish Of German lawyers to have a
new fixed list of fees-not made after
the old and low standard OF the year
1879, but made with consideration to
the changes-the numerous decided
changes-which have taken place
since that year..
The r~echtsanwalt Is attorney and
counsellor at law all in one Tin Eng
land solicitor and barrister). The
r~echtsanwalt can never be a business
man as Is the case in the United
States.
The exercise Of the law is not to be
considered a calling or profession, but
is to be looked on more as a public Of
flee. According to the lawyers code
of the 1st Of July, 1878, lawyers are
charged publicly with certain duties.
He is obliged to have his residence
In the town or district where he is ap-
pointed ~(so-called residence duty.
Further, he must conduct himself In
and out OF office in a way BETTING his
professional and social standing de-.
duty due to his rank. Thus a lawyer
is forbidden to advertise in newspa-
pers, by canvassing, etc., or to buy or
take over a practise already made. as
being unworthy OF his calling.
His position in society is between
officials and scholars and through GUS
tom and law he is compelled to keep
the position to the last degree. This
compulsion to keep ones rank has
given rise to the existence Of commit
tees called anwaltskammern, whose
duty 1t is to keep a strict watch that
no lawyer dishonors his calling. These
committees have a strict code OF pun
tshment, ranging to complete expulsion
from office. In this way the lawyers
in Germany have a good and honored
position; In fact, there is scarcely a
country in which the lawyer enjoys
more respect and confidence.

STEEL TRUST MEASURE.
VIII Reconp What II Loses On

discovered that upon the pending Hum

The bin introduced by Representa-

few notable exceptions. These excep-
tions include Cuba, where ore beds are

be cessation Of importation Of such

The Merchant Marine League, with
headquarters in Cleveland, Ohio, which
is backing the Humphrey bill, has an
executive committee OF fifteen members
Seven Of these are large owners Of iron
ore beds in the Lake Superior region.
Others are engaged in the transporta-
ton OF iron ore in the lakes or in roll
ing ore or in kindred branches which
deal with the marketing OF the metal.
Yet they contend that the league has
no pecuniary interest in the Hum
phrey bill
When Mr.. Ralston presented these
facts TO Secretary Penton the witness
said he had never before thought OF
the significance Of it all. Mr.. Ralston
then related that John G. Butler, Jr.,
Of Youngstown, Ohio, presided at the
league, and had appeared before the
ways and means committee framing
the present tariff bill as the represent
alive Of half hundred producers OF
iron ore. He had told the committee,
said Mr.. Ralston, that all these produc-
ers opposed the reduction from a

ARMY BUYS WATER
BARGE, Ell AGUADOR
Steel Craft to Be Towed North
From San Pedro

The purchase of the water barge Ell
Aguador has just been completed by
Major Haldimand p. Young, depot quar-
termaster, u. S. A., for use in this bay
as a combination cargo and water boat.
For some time negotiations have been
going on for the purchase of such a
boat, and Ell Aguador has been finally
secured from the Wilmington trans
portation company of Los Angeles
through the United engineering works
of San Francisco.
The barge, which is of steel and
about $50 feet long, has been used as a
water barge between San Pedro and
Catalina island. supplying all the water
used on the island.
1t is proposed to- fit the barge with
boilers. engines. pumps, cargo masts
and winches so that it may be used
as a freighter during the day and to
carry water to Alcatraz, Fort Mcdowell
and Fort Baker at night. These posts
are supplied with water at present by
the Miff1in and the Slocum, which are
decidedly inadequate to carry the 1O0-
600 gallons a day which are required.

Berkeley Actress Bride of Ernest
M. Burnett, Vaudeville Pianist,
Who Wooed Her in East
Couple Elope to San Rafael, but
Receive Blessing of Brides
Parents

When rice showered over the court
room of Justice w. f. Magee at San
Rafael week ago last Thursday, and
the newly welded Mr.. and Mrs. Ernest
NJ Burnett walked forth to face lifes
adversities together, his honor, the
spectators, clerks and officials little

Maybelle Watson of Berkeley, the
heroine of the Columbia wreck of July
20, 1907-the girl who had clung to a
life raft through the night, had saved
another woman's life from the waves
that exacted such awful toll, and who
had covered herself with glory in
night of terror by her bravery and
fortitude. Maybelle Watson, whom
the Marin county justice joined in
marriage June 16 to Ernest Burnett
is the daughter of C. S. Watson of
Berkeley.
In slipping over to the Gretna Green
of California the couple thought they
would avoid any announcement but.
because of the rice shower and jovfal
party accompanying the pair, publicity
was given the little ceremony across
the bay. When the newly weds re-
crossed the bay to Berkeley and asked
the parental blessing it was given and
then the world was told.
The thread of romance runs through
the eourtship of some. two years. Miss
Watson has, since the wreck of the
Columbia. appeared before the public
in her own skit. college Days" Just
ending q long engagement with an
eastern vaudeville circuit. While de-
lighting her audiences from town to

logues. Four months ago he came to
this city and has appeared in the con-
cert halls, at the present time being
with the Oriental trio at a Turkish
cafe. At the close of her last engage
ment with College Days Miss Watson
came west to join the man of her
choice and visit her home.
The couple are stopping at the Hotel

HAMMOND ACCUSED
OF TIMBER FRAUD
Lumberman Sued by Federal
Government for Szll,S54
for Trees FelIed
San Franciscan Charged With
Illegally Taking z1,lS5,4l0
Feet of Lumber

Suit was instituted yesterday in the
Hammond, president of the Hammond
lumber company, by the federal gov
ernment to recover s211.S54.10 for tim
Der cut from government land In Mon
tana. 1t is alleged by the government
that under the personal direction of
Hammond the Montana Improvement
company, limited. and the Black Foot
milling and manufacturing company,
sawed 21,1S5,410 feet of lumber from
government land
This enormous appropriation of tim
Der, according to the complaint was
made between 1885 and 1894, although
the alleged irregularities were not dis
covered by the department of the inte-
rior until recently. AS soon as the field
agents reported the matter to the de-
partment of justice at Washington, D.
G., Attorney General Wickersham COM
municated with United States Attorney
Robert T. Devlin to commence action
against Hammond as he was a resident
of this district. The complaint was
drawn by Assistant United States At
torney George Clark and Is similar to
other timber land suits recently filed
and growing out of the investigation of
old timber land trespassing.
The suit Is against Hammond per-
sonally because the government con-
tends that he either directed the cutting
of the timber or personally contracted
to have it cut. Although Hammond ap-
pears in the transactions OF the COM
pany as only an agent, the government
says that he can be held responsible.
The timber was cut from 21 timber
claims along He'll Gate and Black Foot
rivers within the limits OF the North
ern Pacific railroad grant in the Mis-
soula, Mont, land district. 1t is claimed
that the land was vacant at the time,
was nonmineral and had not been re-
served by the government.
l.. L. Sharp. chief of the field division
at Helena. Mont, transmitted to the
department of justice report showing
the alleged appropriations. This report
was made by Special Agent w. E. Ben
nett in January of this year
The Montana Improvement company
limited, was incorporated in 1882 by z.
l.. Bonner, Marcus DAILY, M. J. Connell
Washington Dunn. A. E. Hammond and
p. A. Eddy for a term of 20 years. The
Black Foot milling and manufacturing
company was incorporated in 1888 by
Charles H. Mcleod, John NJ. Keith,
Charles E. Beckwith. G. L. Hammond,
Charles B. Davis, Thomas C. Marshall.
Edward P. Heacock and M. j. Connell
for term of 20 years.
Both of these corporations are now
out of existence by reason of the expi-
ration OF the period of their granted ex-
istence. Hammond was the general
manager of both corporations.
