 EIGHT HOUI LAW
Father of Bill Calls t Unsuitable
 Legislation

(a5y Hon. William c. Adamson of
 Ga, Author, Adamson Eight
 Hour Act).
 No piece of legislation ever passed by the American congress was more |justifiable than the bill proposed at khei Joint session by President Wilson |Rnd later enacted by both houses for &hes Prevention of a nationwide rail- k oad ag1Ks. This bill fixes an eight Rao ur3 War isiaas day as the basis of pay |xor tfaanfnsR engaged in interstate nolnfner 5 A before 1t had even, been sfgnehssp$ the president, it has Esarved itsSiEapaediate purpose by rel Ealing the strike order which had Zone forth
 Not only did the eight-hour act Hpare this country period of paraly- Eis and distress more overwhelming fhan any through which it has ever bassed in a, time of peace. but already R has paved the way for a settlement pf the issues upon which the rail- Roads and their employees deadlocked. Erhe Information has come to us that khe railroads themselves are becom- Bng reconciled to the system which hhe law imposed and that the liti- @ation to test the constitutionality of Ehe act may be begun, or if begun, |may never be carried to the supreme court.
 Offers No Apologies. Whether the Arai1roads accept this legislation Or not, those of us who were instrumental in placing this law rlpon the statute books need offer no hpologies for our action. We faced b national crisis, one involving the welfare Of every man, woman and |child in the land. The president had used all the power at his com- anand to bring the two parties to- Eether and had failed. Arbitration Ewas Impossible. The strike impend- bd Embargoes had already been laid by leading railroads against all perishable freight, that is, the freight which may be described in terms of food. Prices of the commonest nec- hssities of life were doubled over night An appalling situation con- kreTaed us and we acted determinedly hird Jecisively.
 ItR is untrue and unjust for any hnan8t to charge that congress was brodded or driven in this matter. If Ehere was any driving done, it was kaae public interest that was the driven. No individual or set of in- |dfviduals waved a bludgeon above our heads. We were the spokesmen of

VERMONT SOLDIERS
EXPOSED TO MEASLES
State Board Of Health Notifies Health
Officers to Be on Watcli-Season
Of Year for Epidemic.

Health officers throughout the state
have been notified by the secretary of
the state board of health to be on the
watch for measles as a result of the
return OF soldiers, as a few were ex-
posed before leaving Texas and few
cases have broken out since then.
Measles are hard to control and this is
the season of the year when an epi-
demic is most likely to occur. The
letter received by DR.. Henry Tucker is
as follows:
Dear Sir:-It has been brought to
the attention of the state board of
health that the men of the Vermont
National Guard (miltia) were ex-
posed to measles just before leaving
Texas and a few cases have developed
in the ranks, thus causing further ex-
posure.
These men probably viii be mustered
out of service on Friday (Oct. g. and
will be travelling to all parts of the
state.
Health officers are advised to be on
the alert against the possible intro
duction of measles through this
source and also to be on the lookout
for measles if any of these men be-
come sick.
Yours very truly,
CHARLES F. DALTON.

Case Against Former BOs-

fore the Grand Jury
HEARING FINISHED
IN DISTRICT COURT
Prosecution Closed It's Case After Wit
nesses Testified That Mrs. Small's
Death Had Been Caused by strangula-
ton. y

MOUNTAINVIEW, n H., Oct. g.
Frederick j. Small, formerly a Boston
stock broker, was held for the grand iury
on charge of murder in connection with
the death Of his wife, Mrs Florence A.
Small, after a preliminary hearing IN the
district court today.
The prosecution closed its case yester-
day after witnesses had testified that the
death had been caused by strangulation
and that she had also been beaten.
The ruling of Judge Miles followed
Immediately at the conclusion of the
prosecution 9 closing arguments, which
were made by Attorney General James
". Tuttle. "This man had the mo-
tive, he had the means, he is such a
man as would commit the crime. He
is the man who did commit this
crime, the prosecutor asserted in
closing
The defense had introduced no wit
nesses but William s. Mathews. SEN
ior counsel for Small, argued at
length against holding the prisoner for
the grand jury. He set up the prob
ability of the act being that of man
seeking liquor and called attention to
the testimony of Fred E. Bean, a
guide, that he did not remember where
he was during the day or night of
Sept. 20, the date of Mrs. Small's
death.
u do not accuse Mr.. Bean off the
crime, but it might be used as
parallel case
Counsel contended that the fact that
Small would receive $4,000 insurance
through his wife s death should not be
held against him. THAT was only rea-
sonable protection he said. He as
serted that the defendant IS every move
ment so far as related by witness were
those of a normal man unmarried bv anv
unnatural act.
His feeling was one of real grief.''
counsel said. Attorney General Tuttle,
asserting that there was motive for the
crime in the $4,000 insurance policy
and $4,000 insurance on the house, said
everyone was satisfied that whoever
committed the murder set the fire to
destroy its traces. The inventory of
furnishings found in Small s handbag
showed prior knowledge of the fire. eff
he knew there was going to be a fire
he also knew there had been murder,''
the attorney general said.
