MATTER FOR THE COURTS
View of Commissioners on Bill
Regulating Hours of Labor
on Contracts.

Taking the position that if there is any
violation of the eight-hour law by con-
tractors with the District OF Columbia
the matter should be considered by the
courts. or. if necessary, regulated by gen.
eral legislation. the District Commits
sioners. in report to Congress. recon-
mend unfavorable action on the bill of
Representative Anderson of Ohio to reg
ulate the hours Of labor on contracts with
the District.
The apparent object of the bill. the
Commissioners say, is to require all con-
tractors with the District to observe the
eight-hour law and it places on the Com.
missioners the duty to investigate the
labor conditions under which bidder
for furnishing material or constructing
buildings proposes to carry out the con.
tract that may be awarded him.

Would Mean Investigation.

II the measure were enacted into law,
they state, it would be incumbent on the
Commissioners to investigate labor con-
ditions in each particular case, and this
probably would result in serious delays
in the execution Of the work, besides in
all likelihood, increasing the cost of the
work
The District heads say that they do not
believe that the method proposed by the
Anderson bill is the proper way to reach
the matter

Chancellor Day Kissed.

Chancellor James r. Day of Syracuse
University was hissed when. in a speech
favoring the non-retirement of any bish-
ops. he intimated that the episcopacy COM
mittee had within 1t SO many candidates
for bishop that there might be suspicion
that the three were being retired In order
that new men might take their places.
His statement was bitterly attacked from
the floor.
More lively discussion Is predicted when
the amusement question, which has been
made the order of the day. comes be-
fore the conference.

presented to the conference last night. 1t

SENDS MAN TO STABLE
WITH HORSE; BOTH VANISH
Owner of DappIe Gray Offers
Reward for Either.

After securing the country for three
weeks in search of a dapple gray
horse, 16 hands high, weighing 1,400
pounds, Webster Depew, of the Stel-
ton Heights Farm, has appealed to
the Evening Star to help him locate
the animal.
On August % he sent the horse to
the Hoy stables, at Bridge and Wash
ington streets, in charge of an
ployee who had been working for
him about three weeks.
The horse, Mr.. Depew says. was
never delivered at the Hoy stables
and the employee failed to show up
again at the farm.
Mr.. Depew asserted today that he
had located places where he believed
the man in charge of his horse had
tried to sell the animal.
He now offers a suitable reward
for the recovery of the horse or for
information that will lead to the APP
prehension of the man responsible

PARENTAL SCHOOL SEWAGE
DISPOSAL Is UNDER FIRE
State Health Board May Take
Action Against Trustees.

Unless changes are made in the sew
age disposal system at the Newark
Parental School, and the pollution of
Peckman's Creek stopped, the State
Board of Health threatens to take Sc
rious action against the trustees of the
home. Word to this effect was con-
tanned in a letter to the board from
State supervisor of sewage, which was
read at last nights meeting.
1t was explained by Secretary Carl
Heller that everything possible is be-
ing done to remedy the present condi-
lions.
Mandatory orders were received
from the mayor and Council of the
town of Verona for the laying of con-
crete walks within thirty days from
August 81 on the east side of Fair
view avenue and on the east side of
Grove street. This Improvement,
which will cost approximately $500,
was referred to the building and
grounds committee.
Failure on the part of the Civil
| Service Commission to furnish an elig-
ible list from the sever candidates for
parole officer who took the examina
ton three weeks ago, prompted the
trustees to turn the matter over to
the school committee. This committee
will make recommendations for the
appointment.

Queen Mary Cms Golden Lure
from Honor Maids Cupid List

Each of them on becoming a maid
Of honor attains the title of Honor
able for the rest of her life.
The present queen has also let 1t
be known that there is to be no raise
in the salary of a maid of honor,
which is 81. 500 a year,; almost a quar-
ter of that sun has to be spent for
gloves alone.
A maid of honor must be a clever
and agreeable talker and a charming
and accomplished girl, up on books
and music; able, like the queen, to
speak German, French and Italian;
a fine dancer and good at cards and
needlework. She must, of course,
dress extremely well.
All of the maids have to attend the
state balls, and at Windsor Castle
where, in the season., there is a con-
slant round of banquets. balls, etc,
the maids scarcely ever have an idle
moment.
All of these functions mean many
changes of dress.
On informal occasions the maids
lunch with other members of the
household, but in the evening they
dine with the king and queen.

MARKET VIEWS 1
THRESHED OUT.
Hill Improvers Hear Arguments
on Question of Site for
New Structure.

Both views of the Centre MafkoE
question were given last night before
the members of the Clinton Hill Inn
provement Association by the leaders
of each faction.
Alderman A. H. Biertuempfel, chair
man of the market committee of the
Common Council, explained the plan
proposed by the committee providing
for the reconstruction of the old
building on the same site on a larger
scale, while David Grotta, president
of the City Planning Commission, told
of the proposition favored by the
commission, namely, to move the
market to the vicinity of the Penn4
sylvania railroad freight station.
Says City Isn't Big Enough for Pian4
Alderman Biertuempfel declared
hat the city was not large enough
to carry out such a plan as the CONS
mission suggested, and asserted that
he did not believe there was a single
alderman. either Republican or Demos
crat, in favor of 1t.
The plan as suggested by the n1ar4
ket committee would entail an sx@
ptlluliulC VI pfvVsuVV, WllliO LllC RldA
of the commission would cost the city
$3.50. 900, Mr.. Biertuempfel said.
In concluding his talk, the alders
man asserted that 1t was something
unheard of for the Board of Works
to consider anything suggested by an
alderman.
Objects TO Present Site. I
Mr.. Grotta stated that In the Inc
vestigation made by the City Plans
| ming Commission it had been ascer-
tanned hat the old market was simply
a place where a few favored persons
could get cheaper rent and sell to =
better advantage than others.
Mr.. Grotta objected to the locas
ton OF the market on the city's main
thoroughfare and said that eff there
must be a retail market it should not
be placed in the centre of the citysa
population, where property values are
high !,

Disoontinues $4,000 Dowry
Gifts Customary at Marriage
of Attendants.

LONDON. Sept. 10.-Queen Mary.
who is of an economical turn of
mind, has directed the royal cham
berlain to discontinue the time-hon-
ored custom of giving marriage dow
ries to maids of honor.
Victoria, as queen in her W right,
had eight maids of honor always at
her court, and whenever a maid be-
came a bride she received $1,000 out
of the royal purse.
Cupid found much encouragement
under those conditions. for though
maids of honor are usually either
the daughters or near relatives OF
peers, they are not all wealthy.
Mary, inasmuch as she IS only a
queen-consort, is limited by state ETH
quette to four maids of honor. They
are Miss Venetia Barring, Miss Kath-
crime Villiers, Miss Ursula Lawley
and Miss Mabel Gye.
