Have Had Great influence With
Czar-Woman Confesses.

most prominent figures in Russia in re-
cent years, was visiting his native viii
lage, Pokrovsky. in the province OF
Tobolsk, Siberia, when a woman, a
stranger to the locality, approached
him. pretending to be beggar. After

abdomen with long military dirk.

fessed she had waited two weeks for
the opportunity. She said she had de-

a false prophet and was leading every
body in Russia astray.
Doctors who examined the monk 8

Not Satisfied With New York.

Pressure from West Point was princi-
pally responsible for the game being
transferred to New York. 1t was pointed
out that the Polo Grounds could seat
$1,000 persons. and by the building of
additional stands there would be room
for 1900. Fully that number of persons
saw the game last year.
Annapolis was never reconciled to the
journey to New York on account of the
distance to be Travelled by the Middies
Although the so-called foot ball
championship has hardly ever turned
on the meeting between the Middies
and the Cadets. the game has always
attracted an enormous amount of at
tention. not only because Of the sterl-
ing foot ball played by the two acad-
emies. but because of the many pic
turesque feature involved.
The choice of Washington for this
year will insure a crowd fully up to
the traditions of the game in the num-
Der of persons who will attend.

SAYS 8-HOUR LAW
MENACES PROFITS
Hotel Stakeholder Goes Into
Court to Test Validity
Of Statute.
DECLARES 1T REVOKES
THE RIGHT OF CONTRACT
Commissioners Required to Show
Cause Why Enforcement Should
Not Be Enjoined.

The validity of the eight-hour law for
the employment of females was at
tackled today in the District Supreme
Court. Basil B. Earnshaw. owner of
stock of the Congress Hall Hotel Com
pany. sought an injunction against
Oliver p Newman, Frederick L. Siddons
and Chester Harding. Commissioners
Of the District of Columbia, to prevent
the threatened institution of criminal
prosecution, against the Congress Hall
Hotel Company for alleged violations of
the law.
Through Attorney A. s. Worthington
Mr.. Earnshaw claims the law in Ques-
tion is wholly void in SO far at least
as it applies to hotels and restau-
rants. He claims it violates the right
Of contract, is discriminatory and even
cOnf1scatory.
Says Congress Exceeded Powers.
Mr.. Earnshaw urges that it is be-
yond the power of Congress to prohibit
employers in the District of Columbia
from employing women in hotels and
restaurants or either, for more than eight
hours in any one day or more than forty
eight hours in any one week; or to pro-
hibit women from seeking and finding
employment in hotels and restaurants for
longer hours. II the law is enforced, the
court is told, it would deprive both en-
ployers and employees of property with
out due process Of law. in that the right
Of contract involved in the employment
of labor is a right of property.
The law discriminates it is claimed.
without sufficient cause against hotels
and restaurants and in favor of board
ing houses, apartment houses. clubs
and private houses. So enormous and
severe are the penalties inflicted by
section of the act, says the plaintiff,
that the corporation is intimidate ted
from resorting to the courts to test the
validity of the act, thereby prohibiting
1t. in effect. from seeking judicial con-
struction Of the law.
Hotel Profit Wiped Out.
carry on at profit the business of run
ming a hotel or restaurant pursuant to
the complicated requirements of the law.
Despite these conditions. it is claimed the
Commissioners now threaten to begin
criminal prosecution against the hotel
company. thereby involving it in a multi
plicity Of suits and putting it to great
expense. The hotel company, it is as
serted. intends to attempt to comply with
the law as tocertain female employees, but
will be compelled to discharge other fe-
male employees. because of the practical
impossibility of complying with the re-
quirements of the act, and oemploy men
to take the places of the discharged en-
ployes.
This will result, it is stated in great
financial loss to the company and its
stockholders.
The complaining stockholder makes
the corporation a joint defendant with
the Commissioners and asks that the
company be enjoined from attempting
to comply with the laws requirements
and the Commissioners be prevented
from enforcing the provisions Of the
act.

Several South American and
European nations threaten new
complication in Mexican affairs.
Now that it is generally believed
in official circle that Huerta is to
abdicate his office within a few
days and that Carranza is to lead
a victorious army into the Mexi-
can capital and set up his pro-
visional government, some ma
tions are manifesting disapproval
They threaten not to recognize
the constitutionalist leader unless
he shows a disposition to give
some quarter to the Huerta
regime.
Next Scene in Capital.
Mexico City was looked to to-
day as the place where the next
big scene in the Mexican situa-
ton would be staged.
With Huerta about to turn
over the government to his new
foreign minister, Francisco Car
bajal, hope is expressed that
way may be found peacefully to
transfer the government to the
constitutionalists and avert mill
tary conquest of the capital by
their triumphant forces.
Intent on Taking Army.
Carranza has announced his unwfil-
fngness to deal with Carbajal. as he
regards him as the creation of Huerta.
1t has been suggested. however, that
parleys for the quiet transfer of power
might take place IL CarbaJal appear
ed in the role of representative of a
faction rather than as provisional
head of a government which the con-
Carranza, it was declared. intended
to follow the plan of Guadalupe"
which provided for military occupation
of the capital. But several European
and South American nations frown
upon such a course. They regard with
apprehension the proba bflity of fight
ing in Mexico City without some
guarantee to the populace. 1t has been
strongly inti%atsd n,ia,d.tiaa that II cazransa =
should insist upon his original pro-
gram. disapproval would be registered
by several-nations.
Hope to Avoid Fighting.
Indications we're not lacking. however.
that a way might be found for the trans
fer Of power without much further
fighting The impression prevailed wide
ly in Washington today that hostilities
in Mexico were near an end. It was sus-
gested that If arrangements OF peace
were settled upon, Carranza would enter
the capital with only comparatively
small force to help preserve order. The
remainder of his armies would remain
ent headquarters, to be dispersed upon
the restoration of peace.
All hope of any parley between rep
of Huerta who took part
constftutionalists upon the basis pro-
posed by the South American ENJOYS
has been abandoned. Car
rama has not formally replied to the
sages from his headquarters at Sal
tilIo have indicated what his reply
would be. Gen. villa was reported to
have received a message from Car
ranza asserting offers OF mediation By
the South American ENJOYS in Mexi-
cos internal affairs would not be &C.
,epted. Carranza was quoted az saying
The only thing he would accept was the
surrender Of Huerta and his army.
May Depart This Week
Huerta, Il was hd3svsd. might quit
