More Wages For German Workers.
1t is reported from Berlin that the
conditions under which the building
trades workers of Germany will re-
sumo work, after strike of three
months duration are considerable
improvement over former conditions.
About 10000 masons and 10000 as
sistant masons have secured a raise in
wages of cents an hour. Seven thou
sand masous and 5000 assistant ma
sons have secured an advance Of 4
cents an hour. Besides. 25O.OOO car
penters will benefit by a slight in
crease in wages.
A maximum ten hour day is agreed
upon for all Germany. This means
reduction in working hours in 600
places where the workday was more
than ten hours long. Moreover. In
fifty-six towns the workday was re-
duced to nine and one-half hours.

What tho League Has Done For the

Trade Union league began its work in

There are new local branches in New

insulted by foreman. She complained

WHEN THIEVES FALL OUT

Now that the investigating committee for the city
of Seattle is nearing its reporting time things have
begun to leak out which make one think, that the
thieves have fallen out and began to squea on each
other and before the committee makes it final reports
the cat will be completely out of the bag. First one
person and then another all of whom were more or
less close to the heart of the Gill administration, has
begun to tell what he knew about the graft game and
men conservativey estimated be worth thousands OF
dollars with splendid business associations, charged
with being just keen for their cuts of the graft pie
as those worth nothing but their daily graft Where
there so much smoke there is bound to be some re
and where so many testifying that this and that
man was getting large sums of graft money there
must be some truth somewhere about it. Before this
investigating committee began its work this paper
would no more have thought the editor of the Seattle
Daily Times was mixed up in the various forms OF
graft that the Gill administration has been fostering
than it would have thought the editor of the Times
would have been connected with gang of chicken
tkieves and does not at this time that the editor
of the Times got his of the graft that is alleged to
have been practced in the city under the Gill admins
tration but does say that the editor of the Times
has been so indscrete in his association with those on
whom the major part of the graft charges have fallen
that his name has bobbed up in a thousand and one
different places since the investigation began, and so
often and so Enthusiastically has the footprints OF the
editor of the Seattle Daily Times shown themselves
in the opinion that either Col Blehen got his some
body that greatly resembles the colonel got it. Then
again. the way the Colonel has hollered in the Times
ever since the investigating committee began against
the workings of the committee was of itself ample proof
that he was afraid of something The honest man has
no fear of the light of day being turned on his trans
actions He has done wrong and if any one de-
sres to take the time and trouble to investigate what
he has DONE he will render them all the assistance
within his power to do On the other hand,
the dishonest will use every effort within
his power to prevent investigation and if the nves-
tgation goes in spite of his protest then he starts
in to dscredit it just Colonel Blethen in the Seattle
Times has done since the investigating committee be-
gan it's work some six weeks ago. The Times editori
ally has branded Blaine and Kellogg, not exactly muir
derers but so near it that, it would take Phila-
delphia lawyer to distinguish the difference between
them Summing all of the charges and counter
charges up it looks as if nasty nest of poison
ed pups and for the good of the city and the state In
general the whole bunch ought to be cleaned out.

Yakima county's judicial grst has grown too large
for judge to grind, say local lawyers. Therefore
the coming session of the legislature will be asked to
give us second judge to assist Judge Prehe, who is
uudeniably an overworked man, although that genial
and modest official would scarcely admit it, since he is
endowed with an inordinate capacity for work How
ever we doubt if the judges work would be so hard
if more common system of jurisprudence were
in vogue in this state. Lawyers too frequently kill
time in court and through delay. Then again, too
much of the courts valuable time is consumed in hear
ing petty mostly of the criminal class that the
law should allow the court commissioner to hear and

ests having at hand millions of money
proposed to invest in Shreveport prop
erty. One of the investments is to be
in an independent railway line for
which there will be an independent
electric power plant. The same parties

would stimulate practical development
in Shreveport. Instead sof asking for

JUVENILE COURT
The Act Creating 1t Is Sustained-Pro-
baton Officer Not Essential.

New Orleans States Jan. 8: In al
opinion handed down by Associate Jus
tiee Land of the Supreme Court OF
Monday upheld the Juvenile Court Law
as applied to the country parishes.
The case was that of the State VS.. w
A. Ragan Jr., and was before the court
on Ragan's application for a writ o.
prohibition.
Judge Land said:
I. Act 83 of 1908, subsequently adopt
ed as an amendment to the Constitution
of 1893, created special juvenile court
in the parish of Orleans, and provided
that district courts outside of said par
ish shall hold separate sessions as ju-
ve1ile courts. No organization of dis
trict courts as juvenile courts is re.
CURED, and sessions of such courts may
be held without the appointment of a
probation officer"
2. Sessions of juvenile court in the
country parishes may be held during a
criminal term Of the district court, pro-
vlded such sessions be held apart, and a
separate record kept of the proceedings.
3. Under Act 50 of 1908 children are
not prosecuted as criminals, but are
proceeded against as delinquents for
the sole purpose of reformation, even
where the delinquency charge would in
an adult amount to crime punishable
at hard labor. Section II. Such delin-
quents can not be prosecuted for crime
for the purpose of punishment, except,
perhaps, in capital cases.
4. Act 50 of 1908 can be readily en-
forced against adults for violations of
laws made for the protection of chill
dren, and as to neglected and delin-
quent children, must be enforced by the
juvenile courts as far as practicable !;
and said act is not to be treated as in
operative because of the failure of the
States authorities to provide reforma-
tories or other institutions for the care,
custody and discipline of delinquent
children or because of the failure of
The local authorities to provide proper
facilities for the execution of the pro-
visions of the act.
It is therefore ordered that relator's |
application for writ of prohibition be |
denied.

THE ADLER CASE
Mandan,us Proceedings Against Judge
Boarn1an Delayed in Federal Court.

New Orleans States Jan 8: Believing
that they can come to an understanding
satisfactory to all parties concerned, the
attorneys for William Adler and Judge
Aleck Boarman OF the United States
Circuit Court, Monday morning ap-
peared before the United States Court
of Appeals and asked that the man
danus proceedings brought by Adler's
attorneys to compel Judge Boarman to
pass upon the bill of exceptions taken
in the Adler case last April, be post
poned. Judges Pardee, Mccormick and
Shelby, sitting en- banc, granted the re-
quest It is believed by Adler's attor-
neys and by Judge Boarman that the
controversy over the matters contained
in the bill of exceptions taken out by
Adler's attorneys, which prompted
Judge Boarman to refuse to sign the
bill to be used as record in the appeal,
may be settled amicably and without
the necessity of having the court of ap-i
peals TO pass upon the questions in
volved The mandamus. therefore, was
suspended indefinitely until some con-
clusion can be reached by Adler's att,
torneys and Judge Boarman.
It is fully expected that within a fort
night the bill of exceptions will undergo
some slight notifications to meet some
of the views of Judge Boarnlan, and if
the form of modification proves salts
factory to both sides. then the man
damus proceedings brought BY Adler's
attorneys will be stricken cut.

JAMES K. VARDAMAN
May Be Elected as the Successor OF
Senator McLaurin.

Jackson, Miss, Jan. 3.-Practicall,
all of the members of the Mississippi
General Assembly have arrived in the
city in anticipation of the opening OF
the legislative session tomorrow. Inter
est in the opening days of the session
will center almost wholly in the election
of United States Senator to succeed
Senator McLaurin, who died on Decem-
Der 22 last Ex-Governor James K.
Vardaman continues to be the most
talked of candidate for the place. Prior
to the death of Senator McLaurin, Gov
ernor Vardaman had already launched
his campaign for the senatorial seat,
which in the ordinary course of events
would have been filled by the primary
election in 1911. The "race question, .
according to his statements issued in
announcing his candidacy, was to be
pade the chief issue in the Vardaman
campaign. Besides the ex-governor,
many persons are named as possible
candidates to succeed Senator Nc
Laurin
Aside from the choice of :, senator
the session of the Gsneral Assembly
will have a number Of other impartant
matters to occupy its attention. Among
other things a change in the States
penal system is to be considered. A
number of proposed constitutional
amendments are on the calendar and it
IS possible that an amendment provid-
ing for Statewide prohibition may be
proposed, though this is now regarded
as unlikely in view of the recent defeat
of similar amendment in Alabama.
