Kenison then read the sentence in which Small was or- dered by Judge Kivel to be confined ijn state prison until January 15, 1918, when he is to be hanged.

The roads’ counsel were expected to occupy the entire day with their arguments, leaving Frank Hager- man, special assistant to the attorney general, to conclude for the govern- ment tomorrow. In outlining the railroads’ attack upon the law, Walker D. Hines, chair- man of the railroads' general commit- tee of attorneys, who opened today hearing, laid stress upon the carriers’ contentlon that the law is not a limi- tution of hours of employment but merely 4 wage fixing statute. Fe de- | nied that congress is given power to fix wages under the constitution. ! John G. Johnson of Philadelphia was chosen to close the case for the railroads. Arthur Miller of Kansas City, attorney for the Missouri, Okla- home and Gulf railroad, whose attack | upon ghe law was chosen to test its | natiofal appljcation, will not particu- | pate in the oral presentation, Discriminating, Is Charge. In addition to denying that the law is an “hours of service” statute, the | railroads’ contention also included as- sertions that it is workable and cap- |:\ble of enforcement only by judicial interpretation. That the law operates to increase the wages of the best paid railroad men and therefore discriminates | against those receiving less pay was | another line of attack taken by the | carriers. Its operation, it was in- sisted, would add many millions of | dollars to railroad expense, with prob- able consequent increase of rates. The railroad employes, the carriers | also contended, are not bound by the | law to remain in service and not strike, although the law is binding upon the railroads in the mandates enacted when a natlonal railroad strike was threatened last summer. The road’s counsel insisted that the | and legislative agent of that body, to- law cannot be upheld upon any theory ‘and asked that Circuit Judge | Hook’s decision declaring the law void | and enjoining its enforcement be | affirmed. | “BERLIN BEAUTY'S” WORTH. No Will Has Been Located and' It Is Doubtful if Real Holdings of Well Known Character Become Known. Whether or not Carrie Bennett Pol- lard, popularly known as “Berlin Beauty,” who died last week, left any will is not definitely known, but as vet none has been recorded at the Berlin probate court in this city or in the Granby probate court. A will, if one was left by the deceased, must be filed In the probate court within thirty days after the death of the tes- tator. In case the “Berlin Beauty” no will the probable -procedure will be for the probate court to issue let- ters of administration and have the estate settled according to law. While it is popularly believed that the ‘“Berlin Beauty” was worth a | large amount of money, it is said that it is extremely unlikely that her en- tire worth will ever be known. It is said that during her lifetime she was very slack in her financial dealings and oftimes failed to properly record certain transactions. It is also said that certain business transactions that were recorded on paper have been misplaced and lost by the deceased. It is known, however, that she held a number of mortgages, among others | being one on the Berlin Grange hall. | She is also believed to have owned !cunsmemblo real estate.

OBJECTS TO WOMEN WORKING AT NIGHT President Stremlau of State Labor Body Declares Law Must Be Made Stricter. Meriden, Jan. 9.—Night. work of womien in Bridgeport munition plants is to be called to the attention of or- ganized labor in Connecticut, stated by Julius C, Stremlau, president >{ the Connecticut Federation of Labor day. ' Snch sction will be based upon a report made to the Russell Sage T'oundation concerning the the con- dition of women in industry in the varfous plants in Bridgeport. It was claimed in that Tepart that the law in this state, while prohibiting women from working after 10 p. m., did not prohibit them from going to work early in the day so it was possible for women to lemin labor shortly after! midnight. Mr. Strem'su says that if this is the case there is circumven- tion of the law. He adds: ‘“Labor supposed when it | secured passage of laws prohibiting | the working of women and minors in | ranufacturing establishments more | than ten hours a day or more than 55! hours a week, or after 10 p. m. that it | had wewed up the whole matter but now the mistake is evident. At this pession of the general assembly we | will urge the passage of a measure to | stop the cmployment of women and | minors in manufacturies after 10 p. m. | and before 7 a. m. Tt will be specific; enough so that no subterfuge may be found. The evils of night employment | of women are apparent and it is for the hest interests of the state that the | be stopped.” iremlau sald that labor would | s best to secure a 48 hour week\ in menufacture ani mechanical estab- | lishmente, PENFIELDS practic DINE TARNOWSKIS, New Ambassador and Wife Guests at Dinner, Vienna, Jan. 8, via.

French 12:46 issued sorts Unearthed By Prose- cutor After Arrest of Chief and Lieutenant. Chicago, -Jan, 9.—The innermost workings of an alleged police graft svstem, according to the belief of State's Attorney Maclay Hoyne, was revealed in a “little green' book" taken from Police Lieutenant Augus- tus White, whose arrest with his com- panions preceded the arrest last night of Chief of Police C. C. Healy, at the state’'s attorneys orders. Confessions have been obtained from some of the men now in cus- tody, State’s Attorney Hoyne an- nounced today. The list of alleged shady hotels, gambling houses and resorts, together with cryptic notations on the pages ' lof the green book, were regarded to- dasy by the prosecutor proving allegations of lodged against the police. The little book enumerated places under headings: “Saloons”, “‘gambling”’, “Can be raided”, “transient houses'". In front of addresses were figures such as 40 and 150 and following ad- as clearly’ wrong-doing the “Hotels"”, ‘‘Can’t be raided”, houses” and disorderly " dresses so distinguished were addi- tional notes reading ‘‘one way", “two ways'” or “three ways''. These nota- tlons were held by the state’s attor- ney to show the amount of protec- tlon money paid by the places indi- cated. The interpretation placed on ‘the “chief’s list” by the prosecutor was that there was no dlvision of pay- ments in this list, they alh going fo the head of thé police department. The three way division, according to the prosecutor, meant that the pro- tection money was to be divided be- tween Thomas Costello, classed as a go-between; “Mike D. Pike” Heitler, known as the boss of the ‘“West Side T.evee”, and Willlam Skidmor, a sa- loon keeper, who were arrested w l(h Lieutenant White. Lieutenant White, Mr. floyne said, insisted that the book was merely a record kept of the disreputable places in the police district, of which he as- sumed command several weeks ago. Ghief Healy, whose resignation was presented to the mayor last month, said today he had placed the entire matter in the hands of his attorney. “Beyond declaring my innocence of these charges, T have nothing to say,” he said. Hearing on the charges against Chief of Police Healy was continued for ten days in the municipal court at the request of the state’s attorney. The. bonds were reduced from $100,- 009 to $26,000.
