FINAL ARGUMENTS MADE IN 8-HOUR CASE IN COURT Decision on AdamsOn Act Is Expected to Be Handed Down Within Few
 Weeks

Washington, January 10.-Final argu- ments were heard by the supreme court today in the case testing constitution ality of the Adamson act, with members of the court continuing to display their extraordinary interest by frequent ques- tioning of counsel.
 A decision is expected within few weeks, although summary action on the important issues is not deemed probable. February 26 has been mentioned as the possible date for the decision, as the court reconvenes that day after recess of three weeks to prepare opinions.
 Meanwhile, the effectiveness of the eight-hour standard day and all litiga- tion is suspended by agreement between the railroads and department of justice. with accounts being kept of additional wages due under the new law.
 Three days of arguments were con- cluded this afternoon. The closing ad- dress was made in support of the law by Frank Hagerman of Kansas City spe- cial assistant to the Attorney General, who contended vigorously that Congress has authority to regulate railroad em- ployes' wages in exercising it's constitu- ticral power over interstate commerce.
 Attorney General Gregory. several sen ators and many railroad and other law yers followed today's proceedings.

DAM LEGISLATION
 MADE FEATURE BY
 PRESIDENT WILSON
Tells Bankhead and Shields He Wants Bills Passed Regulating Development
 of Water Power

Washington, January 10-(Special) President Wilson informed Senator Bank head and Senator Shields this afternoon that he is very anxious that dam legisla- tion be feature of this session of Con- gress and that he would exert himself in an effort to eliminate differences ex- isting between the House and Senate re- lative to pending bills
 The President intimated very strongly that he stands with the Secretary of War in desiring a law requiring operators to pay into government coffers a certain tax per horse power developed. He is willing to make this proposed provision apply to horse power already developed, and thus produce a new and lucrative source of income. The President let the senators understand that he would not support Representative Adamson or Georgia in his contention that companies operating jointly with the government should, at the termination of their leases, turn over to the government without compensation. their property and the fruit of their toll.
 Following his interview with the Pres ident, Senator Bankhead expressed belief that the House and Senate would ulti- mately agree, and that satisfactory bill, permitting cooperation on the part of the government and private corporations in the development of latent water power, would be passed
 The enactment of such bill would cause instant development in the Coosa, Alabama, Tombigbee and Tennessee riv- CTS it is stated.

THAW SUCCEEDS IN ELUD|NG POLICE
 0F MANY CITIES
Search for We'll Known Pittsburger Wanted in New York Continues.
 Escape Explained

New York, January 10.-The where abouts of Harry K. Thaw, indicted here on charge of Kidnapping and assaulting 19-year-old Frederick Gump, Jr., of Kan sas City, Mo, remained mystery to- day to the district attorney and his corps of detectives who have been searching for him, although directly or indirectly the police of all cities have received notice that he is wanted here.
 Unofficially the belief was expressed at the prosecutors office that Thaw had made his way to his home in Pittsburg and there. under protection of his fam fly, was being advised by competent coun- sel as to what course to pursue. The au- thorities here made detailed explanations as to how it happened he slipped through their fingers when they were "hot on his trail," both here and in Philadelphia shortly before and after the indictment was found against him.
 ESCAPE EXPLAINED
 His escape was explained by the fact, they said, that since he was so well known they gave their chief attention to arresting the man known to them as George O'Byrnes. indicted jointly with Thaw on the Kidnapping count. While waiting for an opportunity to catch .O'Byrnes Thaw escaped.
 Shortly afterward man answering the description the Gump boy had given of Thaw's companion, appeared at Thaw's Philadelphia hotel, and was arrested on the assumption that he was O'Byrnes. He proved. however to be Oliver Brower formerly of Utica, N. Y, also associated with Thaw, but against whom there was no indictment.
 Although the arrest of Brewer was at first a disappointment the district attor- ney's men say they found him valuable in developing their case,
