CLOSING LAW FOR BARBER
SHOPS UNCONSTITUTIONAL

The law passed by the last session
of the state legislature closing bar
Der shops at z p. m. in cities of the
first and second class is held uncon-
stitutiopal by Judge Mccarthy in a
decision rendered Monday afternoon
at Boise in the C. w. Pearce case.
This is the first test of the new
law made in Idaho and Judge McCar-
thy holds that the statute is clearly
unconstitutional, being an unwar-
ranted interference with the right
or labor to carry on business. He
further holds that the bill is class
legislation in that it, singles out the
barber trade without any apparent
logical reason.
The law was passed by the legisla-
lure at the earnest request of the
Barber unions of the state with a
view Of aiming a blow at the foreign
BARRIERS who operate shops late into
the night and were making an in
road on the business of the other
shops. The bill met with considera-
pie opposition in the upper house,
Senator Lee of Bingham county, es-
pecially attacking it or the grounds
or Its being unconstitutional, setting
forth some of the same reasons in his
argument, held by the court in it's de-
.cision in the first test case.

There can be no questioning the

Minnie Perkins, died last Sunday
evening at O'Clock from gangrene
poisoning. following an operation for
an abscess on the appendix. He had

eaten a week before. Last Saturday
afternoon a doctor was called who
round. upon examination, that the lad
had appendicitis. The operation,
which was performed that evening,
disclosed an abscess in addition to a
badly ruptured appendix. The poison

operation was too late to save his
Life. Culver is survived by his moth

die in your presence unless you pro-
cure him a drink of whfskey, send
aim to a doctor or else give him a
