aThe Seat Of Marshall. .

John Jay and Hughes, the FIRST and the
last---for the time being chief justice
OF the supreme court Of the United
States, should the president make the
designation for the present vacancy
which everybody seems to expect. But
how queer il would be- jay resigned
that office, after serving only few
years, to become governor Of New York
Hughes would be resigning the Office o.
governor of New York after serving q
few years, to become chief justice Of the
United States What does this contrast
mean9 Mainly, that while New York
has grown beyond the widest dreams
OF its founders our great court has
grown in prestige and honor still faster
Imagine man laying down a place on
that tribunal to-day 10 become chief ius-
tice of the supreme court Of South Caro-
lima, and yet that is what Rutledge
jays successor. did, when Washington
offered to make him its chief. Els.
worth, the next man in line, resigned
after four years Of service. In fine.
nobody seemed to realize that It was d
great court until John Marshall, might

Bartlett Bonad Over To Superior Court

&. Howard BARTLETT, giving his resi.
denee ~ New Haven, WAS aFraigned
before the ely court Tuesday morning
charged with cashiag eherk on The
Frst National bank when he knew he
had no funds To meet IL. He entered a
plea of not guilty.
NJ. NJ. Dwser testified that Bartlett
had dinner at the Hotel Chiekertng
Monday and paid cash for H. lie had
supper, lodging aud breakfast and
gave check for si.Ts In payment. lie
identified the check given him.
John h. Byrne, teller in the First
National bank. testified that the
check had been presented at the bank
and payment refused as there were no
funds To meet 1t. Had refused pay
ment on at least three or four other
checks. Bartlett had an account nj
the bank early last August but came
in aud closed IL.
Probable cause was found and Bart.
lett was bound over 10 the superior
court in bond of $1,000, and failing IL
furnish same was committed To Jail.
The capture of Bartlett WAS an i'm.
portant one. lie has been cashing his
worthless checks at various point, In
New England far month or more
He would go to plnee and represent
himself rs the agent Of some concern,
get few days board aud pay for IL
with check, generally giving one fol
q little more than his bill and getting
cash In change. He would then go on
TO the next place. Bartlett worked In
Woodstock last summer and was intro,
duced ut the bank, made u small de.
posit and procured a book Of tifty
checks. He soon closed his account
aud later the checks began TO come In.
II seems rather strange that the man
should come right back TO the very
place from whence he started. While
seated In the dock before court opened
Bartlett turned 10 Mr.. Dwyer and
pointed 10 the gas Jets and asked II
they were run by steam. lie WAS told
that they were gas. He then asked II
steam was used to light them and was
told no. lie said that steam forced
things up and II must be used or he
couldn't understand II. lie next
asked II the wireless from the ocean
came la there. lie asked this aues-
ton twice.
lie was found In saloon and had
been drinking.
Word came TO the police early In the
morning that the man was In town.
No one knew him, SO far NJ known,
but John Byrne, the bank teller, was
quite positive that he could identify
the man II he saw him again, SO he
and Captain Murray started out. A
tip Of = man going into = saloon led
the two to the place. Byrnc went In
while the officer remained outside. lie
soon came 10 the door and beckoned 70
the officer and Bartlett was soon In
custody. He had other bank checks In
his possession. He gave his age ~ 81.
He said he didn't care and Was sound
~ sleeping In the cage II headq quarters
between II and IL O'Clock.

MAY ORGANIZE THE
G0vERNM' 7 employees

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-Clerks in
the government departments in WASH
ington are being urged by local or
ganizers to- form themselves into q
union in order that they may be
placed in position to enforce their
demands on Uncle Sam.
The cry for organization started
subsequent to the decision Of Presi-
dent Taft's cabinet to lengthen the
hours Of the clerks thirty minutes in
every department where additional
time was required to complete the
days work.
Those back of the movement for a
government clerks union expect to be
able to enlist many thousands OF
Uncle Sans employees. The American
Federation of Labor would be glad
to welcome them into the fold, ac-
cording to statements made here. and
meetings will be held in the near
future to determine upon some form
of association.
At present employees in the govern
ment printing office and many Of
those in the bureau of engraving and
printing are organized. It is said that
in these two branches Of the govern
ment service the employe is more
respected and less downtrodden than
in the others.

SLIPPED HINDUS INTO
U. s. TO FURNISH ROADS
WITH CHEAP I,ABORER8

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 29.-An I'D
heaval in the immigration service on
the Pacific coast and in the Hawaiian
islands is expected as a result of an
official visit to the various stations bv
United States Commissioner Daniel 7.
Keefe.
keefe's trip, which extended from
the Canadian line to San Francisco.
and took in the Hawaiian islands, was
really caused by the steadily growing
tide Of Hindu immigrants.
The turbaned residents of India
were Hooking to the United States by
the thousands every month. CHARGES
OF lax enforcement of the law relat-
Ing to the entry of Hindus to this
country were brought against Hart
North, commissioner at San Francisco,
and Hart was suspended.
1t was also brought out that the
railroads were in back of the influx Of
Hlndus because the corporations need
ed cheap labor on the section gangs.
The Htndus filled the bill.
After his investigation of condi-
lions on the coast and in the islands.
Commissioner Keefe will submit a re-
port to congress. This report will
also be accompanied by certain re-
Communications that more rigid laws
be passed and that those now on the
books be strictly enforced.

ARGUES MUNICIPAL
Paving PLANT Would
Make GREAT SAVING

Milwaukee, Wis.,. Dec. 23.-Assert-
ing that a saving of nearly $780,
900 g. year would be effected were
the city to do its own street paving,
the department of public works has
sent statement to City Controller c.
P. Detz outlining where such savings
might be made, as we'll as submitting
q plan whereby such a municipal I'M
dertaking might be financed.
The figures used are those of street
paving done In 1909, the estimates for
1910 not having yet been compiled.
According to the statement, 129,587
yards Of bituminous pavement we're
laid in 1909 under the private con-
tract system at a cost of $293,221.77.
Had the contract system been abol-
ished and the work been done by the
department Of public works, a saving
Of &123,14S.95 would have been ef-
fected, providing. the statement con-
tinues, that the city owned it's own
quarry and sand and gravel pits.
A further saving Of $4,000 would
have been possible had care and
economy been used in drawing up
specifications. the statement shows.
Thus the city would have expended
about 40 per cent Of the money 1t
did spend on bituminous paving in
1909 and accomplished the same
amount OF work.
Analysing the figures for macadam
pavements, the statement shows that
the city would have saved $4S,45S.
Similarly, in block pavements, a saw
ing Of $65,658.80 would have been
made.
The statement also admits that the
greatest difficulty the city would en-
counter in trying to do its own work
under the department of public works
by direct employment, instead of by
the contract system, will be the rails
ing of funds necessary to finance the
work. The recent opinion of the city
attorney satisfies the department that
the city may legally undertake to
do its own paving.
1t Is also shown that while the CITY
would be saving nearly 100000 a
year by undertaking it's own paving
work, it would still be able to pay
labor higher wages than private con-
tractors do.

MACH|N|STS WISH TO
CURB 0NE-MAN POWER

DENVER, Colo, Dec. 23.-A re-
solution is passing from lodge to lodge
of the International Association of
Machinists which proposes, by an
amendment to their constitution, to
destroy one-man power in their or
ganization and take from the inter-
national president the power of ap-
pointing committees.
As this resolution requires the ap-
prevail of forty lodges it is FORE
gone conclusion that the amendment
will be voted upon in the January
referendum.
Machinists in this city assert that
this demanded reform will be carried
by an overwhelming vote, and they
also declare that it will set q
precedent by which like reform
will be worked in the American Fed
Grafton of Labor.
