THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1903. EIGHT-HOUR LW 13 HELD VALID United States Supreme Court Passes on Kan- sas Statute. Chief Justice Fuller and Two Associates Dissent to Opinion. e — WASHINGTO! ov. 30.—The United States Supreme Court to-day affirmed the constitutionality of the eight-hour law of the State of Kansas, regulating labor on public works. Justice Harlad said in handing down the opinion that if the statute were mischievous the re- sponsibility rested with the Legislature and not the courts. Chief Justice Fuller and Justices Brewer and Peck- ham dissented The Kansas law whose validity was called into question in the suit was en- acted in 1891 and pyovided that eight hours should constftute a day’s work for workr oved by or on be- Palf of the State, or by any county or city or other municipality in the State.

The trial of Anna Ross, charged with complicity in the murder of Elizabeth Leroy, was begun before Judge Ells- worth this morieg. Victor Walkirez, her colored companion, is now serving a lfe sentence in San Quentin and the District Attorney and the police are of the belief that she is equally guilty and will make a strenuous effort to secure her eonviction. Elizabeth Leroy, an aged colored woman, was murdered by Victor Wal- kirez'on May 5 last and her body was buried in a shallow grave dug in the cellar under her home at Golden Gate. Both Walkirez and the Ross woman were living in the house at the time, and while the Ross woman admits hav- ing witnessed the murder she claims it was done against her will. Some time later she informed the police and the capture of the negro and his con- | viction followed. i .She was held in the County Jall as a witness against Walkirez and some notes that passed between them were intercepted and it is believed they con- | tain sufficient evidence to show that she instigated the murder.

RS Laln Mrs. Jennie Cereghino and her three children_had a narrow escape from death in flames that broke out early last evening in a bullding at 3 St.| Charles place, a blind alley off Kearny street, near Pacific. The fire gained such rapid headway before an alarm could be sent in that it was with dif- ficulty that the members of the family wewe rescued. The eldér son of the woman crashed through a burning floor and was slight- ly burned in an effort to save his younger brother he supposed was still | in the burning building. The premises in which the fire started is a rookery occupied by Louls Cereghino; his mother, Mrs. Jennie Cereghino, two brothers and two sis- ters. The latter are 14 and 10 years of | age and the boys are 18 and 4 years old. Cereghino is engaged in the manufac- | ture of shoe blacking, and the flames started around a range of which the/ material containing much combustible matter is boiled.

The Wisconsin mil- lionaires have a grievance against the Pacific Coast exporters, which they have plainly broached and followed it up- with a threat that if they are not accorded fairer treatment than at pres- ent they will break away from the com- | bine of millmen that now governs the export business and with vessels of their own will inaugurate warfare to the bitter end. " The bulk of the export lumber trade of the entire Pacific Coast originates in this city; that is, all the larger lumber firms have their agencles here and through a combine, which is effected annually, they try to apportion orders for export among the numerous mills in California, - Oregon and Washington. The Weyerhaeuser Timber Company has been a member of this combine for many months and until recently seemed to be well satisfled with the share of export business that was given it. - off their escape from the street.

At any rate, Jordan still represents the United | States Standard ballot machine.

Having been balked at every turn by the more speedy and effective move- ments of the missing man, the police find solace in the perusal of the much- delayed official notice Hodgkins has is- sued for the guldance of peace officers throughout the country, That circular makes a special reference to Kiniry as an expert porch-climbing burglar. Kin- iry, by the way, has traveled during his recent stay in these parts under va- rious names. Chief Hodgkins officially declares that David Kiniry is the man he is looking for. In San Francisco Joseph McKiniry appears to have been the fu- gitive’s name, but he looms up a third time as David Kanary and also as Da- vid Kinniry. Small matters these, but important to the work of trailing the man. At police headquarters the hopeless attitude of the Chief of Police has been reflected in the detectives and the nu- merous patrolmen who have labored hard, even if handicapped, to land their man.

The subordinate members of the Po< lice Department feel keenly the ap- parent utter hopelessness of the case. As individuals they have done all pos- assistance. But, as in the efforts of the upper office men, the work has been_ futile. If Kiniry be captured they feel that it will be a matter of good fortune.

Holland said: | “The Los Angeles police have no doubt, in view of the disclosures in Oakland, that these men ‘worked’ that city. There have been a large number of crimes there like the Crellin and Bannan burglaries here and the ‘Mor- gan affair in Berkeley. It looks as if Goldstein and Kiniry were very well acquainted with what is needed . for that kind of work.” RELATIVES IN UTAH. Kiniry has family connections or friends in Salt Lake City and it is sus- pected that he might head toward the Utah capital. In accordance with the expressed de- sire of his mother, the funeral services James H. Smith were very simple.

The board renews former recom- mendations that appropriations by ! Congress should be sufficient to pro- vide a reserve supply of ammunition | of at least 100 rounds for each large ' caliber gun and mortar and at least 250 rounds for each rapid fire gun as | soon as mounted, saying “as without | an adequate supply of ammunition it | is needless to say that the armament of the coast defense is useless.” An ample allowance of ammunition for annual target practice and the con- tinuance of the present allowance for | sub-caliber and machine gun prncucei is recommended. Further it is recom- | mended tl.=t all target practice, except sub-caliber, should be with full service | charges of smokeless powder, it peing | stated that the present allowance of ammunitien has not been sufficient to | test the guns thoroughly after their installation. The board renews its rec- ommendation that provision be made for carrying out each year a system of practical drill and target practice with heavy guns under conditions ap- proximating those of actual service. The report says three ranges should be provided—one for the North Atlantic, one for the South Atlantic and Guif and one for the Pacific Coast. Finally the board says not less than $2,000,000 should be appropriated annually for the next several yéars for the installation of a proper fire control system at each coast artillery fort. the board stating that it is not aware of any obfect for | ‘which sum can be expended more ef- DAN PATCH BREAKS TWO WORLD'S RECORDS Plucky Pacer Gives a ‘Wonderful Exhibition in a Cold, Driv- ing Wind. _ MACON, Ga., Nov. 20.—In the face of THREATENS BIG FIRMS. Suddenly, however, the representa- tives of the company began to com- plain, and not being satisfled with the responses made to their complaints, R. L. McCormick, secretary of the big con- cern, notified several of the larger firms here that the Weyerhaeusers were de- termined to get a better share of the business, which they considered they were entitled to, and if they falled they would withdraw from the combine and enter the business for themselves. Sec- retary McCormick hinted that the Wiss consin milionaires, whom he represents, were prepared to buy or build their own vessels and would ply from all the big coast ports and those of foreign coun- tries where Pactfic Coast lumber is now | in demand. A report received here yesterday !s to the effect that McCormick is now on his way to this city, fully prepared to carry out the threat. He is accom- panied by another representative of the big firm and\is due to arrive here in a few days from the north, by which route he is coming. MILLIONS INVESTED. The Weyerhaeusers have invested more than $6,000,000 in timber lands on the coast. The greater part of. their holdings are in the State of Washing- ton, some are in Oregon, and in this State they control the Navarre prop- erty, purchased last year through a company at the head of which is Mr. Moon, son-in-law of one of the Weyer- haeusers. McCormick and several as< soclates also own 1,200,000 acres of tim- ber land in the three coast States, which may be counted in with the ‘Weyerhaeuser interests. These holdings also include many ‘mills with which the Weyerhaeusers, if they carry out their threat, will be able to give their competitors a lvely race for business. A number of the of the larger milling companies against which . the ‘Weyerhaeusers would enter into inde- pendent competition in the event of a break in the combine have expressed the opinion that all existing difficulties will be adjusted at the next meeting of the exporters, when a new combine for the ensuing year is arranged. Me- Cormick’s arrival here is awaited with much interest, however. —————— SAN RAFAEL, Nov. 30.—Sausalito Cove, for the past several months, has been the rem- dezvous for a large number of wheat ships.
