 PHILADELPHIA, March 19.-
 Under cover of darkness seven
 sailors of the German commerce
 raiders kronprinz Wilhelm and
 Prinz Eitel Frederich, interned at
 tLe Philadelphia navy yard, made
 an attempt to escape tonight, all
 seven being captured by marines
 and police after shots were fired
 at the fugitives.
 A sentry on post near the raiders heard several splashes in the back channel and fired a warning shot. Police on guard near the channel saw four of the German sailors swimming about fifty yards from the interned vessels and discharged their revolvers over their heads. The four Germans turned and swan back, surrenderine without resistance.
 Meantime, as a marine detachment was rushed toward the back channel, three other German sailors slipped into the meadows, Running along the seawall to avoid the barbed wire bar ricade partly encircling the internad ships. they tried to slip past a sentry. The sentry fired and ran toward the little group. Mounted police galloped over the meadows and caught two of the fleeing men. The other one was found soon afterward hiding behind a bush.

Presidents Appeal Wins Man agers Over to S-Hour Day and Pro Rata Overtime Through Loyalty.

 PRAISED BY LANE Their Decision Not To Elm barass U. s. In Face of War Came Before Supreme Courts Decision in Case.
(By Review Leased Wire)


 NEW YORK, March 1e.-With the nationwide railroad strike averted and the Adamson act de- clared constitutional, the contro- versy that has ragged between the railroads and their employees for nearly year over the question ot hours and wages passed into his tory today.
 Yield Through Loyalty. Appealed ro by the Presidents mediators to yield on the grounds of patriotism to the demands Of the employees, the railroads just before daybreak today conceded the eight hour basic work day and pro rata pay for overtime, the same as that provided hy the Adamson law.
 8-Hour Law Held Valid.
 Several hours later the United States supreme court upheld the constitdtionality of the Atkinson act and what the brotherhoods al ready had obtained by their threat to call a nationwide strike at sev- en o'clock tonight, the supreme court legally assured to them.
 Back Pay for Men.
 All that remains to decide is how much back pay the employees are entitled to. inasmuch as the agree ment signed by both sides and the Adamson act provide that the opera tion of the new wage and hour sche' dule shall be retroactive beginning January l. The brotherhoods and the railroad managers will get together on this matter tomorrow It is estimated the employees have between $12,000, ,000 and S13.OO0,00O coming to them.
 Expect Long Harmony.
 W. G. Lee. spokesman for the bro therhoods. made it plain today that he looked for peace in the railroad world for long time. Asked whether there was any intention to bring up in the conferences tomorrow the ques. tion of punitive overtime. MT. Lee said:
 That will not be brought up now. We believe that overtime can largely be done away with by speeding up the schedules"
 Lane Praises R. R.
 Franklin K Lane, secretary of the interior. in a statement expressing the satisfaction of the mediation com mittee over the outcome, praised the railroad managers flor their high sense of obligation and their unwill- ingness to permit any embarrassment to the country at this time of extreme strain

PARIS, Mar. t9.-The French troops have occupied about 20 ad- . ditionaI villages and small towns in the advance on the retreating
 Germans. They have gone be-
 yond Ham on the Somme river
 and Chauny on the Disc, which
 brings them appreciably nearer to
 the St. Quentin-laon line. Their
 advance is over font of forty
 miles.
 So rapid has been the advance of the French that they have penetrated beyond the village of Ham, twelve miles southwest of St Qpentin and beyond Chaulnes, which lies some 15 miles north of the line from which the offensive was started. These opera tions from the south and southwest gre menacing the St Quentin-Laon line, and if the rapidity of the move ment is kept up for any length of time will menace the town of St. Quentin itself
 Villages Burning

In ad- dition, bridges have been destroyed and roads of communication cut The inhabitants are said to have been left destitute.

Fixes 8-Hour Basic Day For Trainmen and Removes For All Time Probability of Paralysis of Railways.

 WASHINGTON, March 19.-ln
 an epochal decision holding con
 aress to be clothed with any and
 all power necessary to keep open
 the channels of interstate com
 merce, the supreme court today,
 dividing five to four, sustained
 the Adamson law as constitutional
 and enforceable in every feature.
 Legalizes s;Hour Day.
 The immediate effect of the decision will be to fix a permanent eight-hour basic day in computing wage scales on interstate railroads, for which nationwide strike twice has been threatened and to give, effective from January l of this year. increases in wages to trainmen of about 9 per cent at a cost to the railroads estimat- ed at from $40,Oo0.00O to s5000O,0OO T yesr. ---s----
 Means Compulsory Arbitration.
 The court through Chief Justice White declared that the carriers and their employees are engaged in a busi- ness charged with public interest subject to the right of congress to arbitrate compulsorily dispute af- fecting the operating of that business.
 Affects Public Rights.
 "Whatever would be the right of an employe engaged in private busi- ness to demand such wages as he de- sires, to leave the employment if he does not get them and by concert of action to agree with others to leave on the same conditions" said the opinion. such rights are necessarily subject to limitation when employment is actuated in a business charged with public interest and as to which the power to regulate commerce by con gress is applied and the resulting right to fix in case of disagreement any dispute a standard of wages as we have seen necessarily obtained"
 In delivering the opinion the chief justice departed at this point from his written text to emphasize the position of the men operating the trains in a time of national emergency by com pairing them r5 soldiers facing an enemy.
 Secures Future Safety.
 Coming on the heels of the conces, sion of the eight hour basic day by the railroads at New York to avert the threatened strike, today's decision is regarded as largely supplanting that agreement and also removing for all times, through the broadest inter- pretation of congressional authority

WOULD BACK
FIGURES WITH A BOND

The statement of j. ID. McCabe,
Tacoma contractor and county APP
praiser. that he was ready to go
under bond to replace the build
ings at the figure named In his
estimates" caused a storm OF pro-
test from attorneys representing
two OF the defendants In the Camp
Lewis condemnation suit Thurs
day.
Judge Clifford ordered the
statement stricken from the rec
ord.
The protest followed McCabe's
statement of the appraisal of
buildings on the property of Jo-
seph s. Smeall and William M.
Downs In section 10, township IS.
N. II. 2 Il.
McCabe figured the depreciation
on the Downs house at 80 per
cent and on the Smeall house at
20 per cent. The cost of repro
ducing the Downs house at pres
ent day prices, allowing Tor depre-
citation, he said. would be 1882;
the Smeall house, $31.
The building appraiser gave the
jury figures showing the amount
of lumber which went into the
houses, the number of shingles
and even the quantity of nails
used in construction, giving also
the cost at prices today. Both
houses were poorly built and in
very bad" condition, he said.
His testimony was followed by
rigid cross-examination at the
hands of Attorney Govnor Teats,
who took exception to the apprais-
er's figures on depreciation.
