Joseph S. Caron, who claims Lewis
ton. Me-, as his home, was picked up
by officer Philbrick Tuesday forenoon
on State street, Portsmouth, N. T.,
and booked at the station for drunk
enness. He became heated under the
collar because the police offered to
assist him. He was no stranger to the
police who got him a short time ago
and when searched at the headauart-
ers the officers found bankbooks and
money representing $1,000 OF more.

upon by the judge OF the municlpai
court in Dexter w. B. Pierce, ESD,
appeared as attorney for the respond
emit, and County Attorney, d. e. Snow
appsared for the state. The county at
torney expressed the opinion that the

$500. owing to the serious nature oil
the alleged crime.

MUNICIPAL COURT.
Eddie Barney Given Jail Sentence on
Illegal Possession Charge.

Eddie Barney. who had been arrest
ed Tuesday evening at Riverside by
Deputy Sheriff w. V. Nash of Vas
salboro and brought to Augusta where
he was locked up for the night, was
arraigned Wednesday morning before
Judge Lancaster of the municipal
court on charge of illegal possess
sion of intoxicating liquors. The re-
spondept was not represented by
counsel and conducted his own case,
entering a plea of not guilty.
1t came out at the hearing that Dep
uty Nash went to Riverside Tuesday
afternoon on his way to Waterville,
and while there ascertained that the
box of liquor which he later seized
was at the railroad station. The cap
ture was made Tuesday evening after
the respondent had loaded the box
which proved to contain six fiat quart
bottles of whislsey, into his team pre-
paratory to hauling it away.
Barney claimed that he had pur-
chased the liquor for private use and
told quite a plausible story, but not
sufficiently so but what the court
found him guilty and imposed SEN
tence of 500 and costs and so days
in Jail, and in default of payment of
fine and costs 60 days additional. Bar
ney appealed from the decision of the
court and was bound over in the
sum of $500 for appearance at the
September term of the superior
court.
In addition to the above there was
one case in which the respondent had
been arrested on the charge of in
toxication and on being declared gull
IL was given the alternative of pay
ing SO and costs or going up for 80
days in jail Arrangements were
made whereby the fine and costs
should be paid.

DENY 8.HOUR ACT
HAS REDUCED WAGES
Employers Resent Stories I'm
plying That Women Workers
Have Suffered.

Resenting assertions of many indi-
viduals that the application of the
eight-hour law had resulted in many
employers reducing wages for female
labor. several employers met yesterday
at the rooms of the Retail Merchants
Association. 1202 F. street northwest. to
discuss trade and business interests.
They held that it was a great injus-
tice to local business interests that
certain statements had appeared in the
newspapers about the female workers
who had been affected by the applica-
ton OF the eight-hour law. They held
that. this may have been the case of
the few, but that the publication Of the
article gave a false prejudice in carry
ing to the public mind that the mis-
fortune was general among local
women workers. They made clear that
this was especially true in the cases of
large department stores and big busi-
ness houses.
They denied that in general wages
had been reduced. and held that In
many cases some employers had

Commissioner Siddons said he was not
prepared to make definite reply re-
garding the constitutionaiity of such
a proposal, but that it might be pos
sible to SO regulate the rental Of this
property. Mr.. johnson seemed to think
il could be done.

"The alley is necessary for purposes
Of business" he said. but we want
to eliminate them as places of habl-

streets are not fit to house persons

had as many as $4,000 people living
in alleys in this city. BY condemn

Ing law. we have reduced the number
to 12,0C0, and We nsw want to get rid
of these gradually and convert all of
these alleys into minor streets"
Congressman Carry. who has been
on the trail of Health Officer Wood
ward demanded to know II the
health officer could not condemn all
alley buildings as nuisances. Com
missioner Siddons replied that Dis
trict officials had no such authority
at present.
Congressman German Of Illinois in
terjected with, "Of course there will
be people here later advocating home
building for these alley residents"
'I do not understand" replied Com
missioner Siddons, that this bill is
to authorize the Commissioners to
go into the interior of squares and
sell homes. No such thought Is en-
hraced in this bill, but no doubt
there are citizens who would like to
see some such authority conferred In
order that the problem of housing

ing Headquarters in this city. with a
view to enlisting support In the CAM

of the United States, to request the

their willingness to make such a re-
quest. and officials Of the national

favorably.
Almost Immediately after the commit

Fee Provided In 1910.
The District appropriation bill for the
year 1910 contained a provision authoriz-
ing and directing the Commissioners to
prescribe a schedule Of fees in the build
ing department to cover the cost and
expenses of the office AS shown by the
last annual report, the fees collected
fell short Of making the office seif-sup-
porting by approximately 5000.
In order to meet this deficiency, the
Commissioners decided 20 charge for in
epection work heretofore done without
cost
In his recommendation to the Commits
sioners. Building Inspector Hacker states
that it was found upon correspondence
with other cities that New York makes
no charge for elevator inspection, that
Chicago charges 81 for semi-annual in
spections, and that Philadelphia inspects
quarterly, the charge for inspection aver
aging SIS a year for each elevator. Quar-
tsrly inspections are made of 63l eleva-
tors in the District, thirty-six of which
are under the control Of the United
States and District governments. The
work is done by two inspectors at an
estimated cost Of $500.
The Commissioners have amended
the building regulations to provide
that all buildings required by law
TO be equipped with fire escapes shall
display in a conspicuous place a GER
