Officials Pleased with SeIec-
ton Of Men Many Cases
to Be Investigated
COITERALL RENDERS
IMPORTANT DECISION
In Railroad Case Involves Ques-
tiOn Of Labor Law Many Ac-
tions Disposed Of on Civil
Calendar

The grand jury empaneled in the U.
). district court yesterday is pro-
nounced by court officials as embody-
ing the best men of any previous jury.
Immediately after the selection of the
jury they went to work with the same
celerity and earnestness that has dis
tingusshed this session Of the u. s.
court under Judge Cotteralls supervis-
ion. A large number of cases were
considered and witnesses examined.
The results of their deliberations have
not as yet been given publicity.
The members of the present grand
jury and its officers are as follows:I
Bat Love, Caddo; V. P. Pipkins, Eu-
faula; Bert List. Chickasha; A. o.
Johnson, Chekotah; Isaac Cloud, C. c.

continuance or default There were
no cases tried by jury.
The case of the U. S. VS.. A., T. & S.
F. Ry. Co. was very important in the
bearing the decision of Judge Cotterall
will have upon the relationship of en-
ployer and employee as to hours of
labor BY mutual consent this case
came from Muskogee to this term of
the U. S. court in Chickasha. The
railway company maintains a tele-
| graph station at Guthrie that does it's
work in two places or localities. The
railway contended that an operator
working say for nine hours at one
place and then going for four or five
hours to another place during the
working day was in fact working in
two stations and the continuous labor
enactment did not apply.
Under the showing Of facts Judge
Cotterall decided that the work done
by the one operator was virtually done
in one station and that the work was
continuous and the hours consumed
were clearly under the law for regula-
tion of working hours. He assessed a
fine Of $100 in each of the five counts
in the charge. a total Of $500.
This rather drastic but decidedly
fair decision will establish the fact in
many relations between employer and
employed that the law as it bears up
on this subject is clearly intended to
protect the employe against excessive
I hours while performing thesame duty
continuously. In other words, tele-
: graph or railway station employe per-
!. forming his continuous duties in one
r place, or more, is working in one sta
1 ton and working hours are to be com
puted or respected upon that basis.

Age-Old Murder
Mem Mystery

LOS ANGELES, Oct. I7.-Scientists
are trying today to penetrate the
oldest murder mystery Of the Pacific
Coast. The crime, according to the
investigators. was committed thous-
ands of years ago. Naturally, the
names Of the principals are not
known. The only evidence is the
skeleton of a woman which was
found in the famous La Brae asphalt
tum pits near Los Angeles. where
paleontologists have unearthed the
bones of prehistoric horses, saber-
toothed tigers. and other beasts.
Experts opinion agree that the po-
sition Of the body indicates the wom-
an was thrown head first into the
pit. A more complete hypothesis in
cluded a blow on the head, possibly
from the club of cave man. Learn
ed men from a dozen universities are
interesting themselves in the mys-
terry.

BUILDING IN U.s.
SHOWS A DECREASE
Figures for September Reveal a
Drop of 35 Per Cent in
Operations.

A decrease of s. per cent was noticed
in building construction in the United
States during September, the direct re-
suit of the war in Europe, according to
the Construction News issued today.
Permits were taken out in seVenty-nine
leading cities in September for construc-
ton of 1891 buildings involving a total
expenditure of s43.377,S47, as against IT,
549 buildings costing $66, ,944 during the
same month last yeaA-
The decrease is the most Slgnlilcant
in a long time, and it is thought for this
reason that the falling off may be OF
brief duration.
affairs in this country" the Con-
struction News says, seem to be ADAPT
ing themselves to the war. and it would
not be surprising to see probably ma
terial revival in construction within
very short time. There Is no doubt
that the interest rates will soon De
much lower and this will have ma
terial influence on building construc-
ton"
During September there were gains in
nineteen cities, and decreases in fifty
nine cities. Building in Brooklyn was
