HORACE GREELY HAS WILD
TRIP OVER ROCKIES

Placerville, Cal-When the Over
land stage coach pulled into Hang
town on time as usual, gentleman
with dilapidated hat and whiskers
of an agricultural trim bounded out
from an inside seat and, after fixing
the driver, Hank Monk, with a bale
full stare, walked stiffly into the ho-
tel, He signed an undecipherab
name to the register, but at the din
ner table soon made his identity
known.
81 am Horace Greeley of New
York" he said, "and l want to intro
duce that reckless stage driver to a
committee of vigilantes. / told him
at Carson City that wanted to get
into Hangtown on time, as 1 had to
give a lecture there, but that was no
excuse for his driving along road
1000 feet above the American river
with his horses going at a gallop and
the coach on two wheels"
Hank Monk being interviewed
said: "Reckless-huh. Let him &c
back this way If he wants to see some
reckless driving"
The occasion for the foregoing was
a rehearsal of the native sons pageant
when a reproduction of the gold days
will be staged. Greeley, who made
this identical trip in a Concord coach
on the overland route, afterwards
made his ride famous around thu
world.

GOVERNMENT MAY CONTRACT
WITHOUT RESTRICTING HOURS
Attorney General Interprets Eight
Hour Law TO Exempt Articles Occa-
sionally Manufactured by Uncle


Sam,
Washington, ID. C.-In an interpre-
tation of the new contract eight-hour
labor law, Attorney General Wicker
sham has decided that the govern
ment may enter into contracts with
out restricting the hours of labor, for
the purpose of supplies and other ar
ticles exempted by the act. even
though the government itself has oc-
casionally manufactured these ar
ticles. He also held that no provision
of the law becomes effective until
January'1 next.
Many government contracts have
been held up awaiting this decision,
1t is declared, because officials. be-
lieving the law was ambiguous in
some of its provisions, have been
doubtful of as to it's scope.
Secretary of War Stimson raised
several questions regarding army
contracts. The new statute specifi-
cally eXcepts certain classes of con-
tract work from the operations of the
eight-hour law, including the pur-
chase of supplies, but provides that
all kinds of work (which have been,
are now, and may hereafter be per-
formed by the government shall, when
| done by contract" be performed un-
der the eight-hour limitation.
This provision, the Attorney Gen
eral said was made to prevent gov
ernment officials giving out contrac,
work now performed by the govern
ment itself, simply because such work
seemed to come within the exempted
classes under the new act. 1t re-
fers, he held, to work which is ordi-
narily done by the government and
extent.

WHO'S WHO IN STATE POLITICS
They Will Be at Connecticut LeqisIa- tive Clubs Reunion in New Haven Today

The big political event of the week Is the reunion and banquet of the Connecticut Legislative club at the Colonnade, Savin Rock, this after noon. It Is expected that between 500 and FOO members of legislatures. past and present, will be in attendance, and while, officially. politics will be barred, because the gathering is non partisan, even the menu will be polit- ical.
 Lieut. Governor Blakeslee will be there; Judge John P. Studley will be there; Chairman J. Henry Roraback will be there, probably, and Dr. George H. Knight of Salisbury will be there. In addition to these, pretty nearly ev- cry local politician of any consequence throughout the state will be there also.
 President William H. Taft has been invited to attend by Souvenir Taylor, who is sort of secretary general of the affair, but the president replied he had another engagement.
 It is said around the state that the candidacy of Dr. Knight for the nomi- nation for governor will get strong push at the gathering. Ever since last fall the name of Dr. Knight has been kept steadily before the people of the state, and with the practical certainty that Judge Marcus H, Holcomb will not take the job of running against Governor Baldwin, Dr. Knight still re- mains as an available candidate. who Is liked by both Hanks of the party.
 Senator Frank c. Woodruff, who is Major Blakeslee's campaign manager again, has had lot to do with the arrangements for the dinner, and there will be plenty of Biakesiess friends on hand,
