Hines, chatrman of the Rallroads’ General Comeittee of Counsel, and John G. Johnson, Philadelphia, con- tinued the arguments to-day in the Vnited States Supreme Court to have the Adamson Elght-Hour law de- clared unconstitutional, ‘They emphasize the contention that the law is an attempt by Congress to fix wages of employees, and such ao- tion Is without the jurisdiction of Con- gress. When Mr. Hines sald the law did not limit the service to an etght- hour day, but merely fixed a wage standard providing for overtime, Jus- tice Brandeis asked: “‘Lant’ it a historical fact that in the introduction of the logistative policy of reducing the hours of labor, many ot the States began In fixing what number of hourw should be a stan- dard day and later in the progress of Jomisiation there came an actual pro- hibition of more?” Mr. Hines replied that the court had not so construed the lawn. “And isn't ita fact when the legis- jation was introduced there never was a suggestion that the purpose of the legisiation was to fix wages and not to reduce hours?” continued Jus- tice Brandeis, “They didn’t Increase wages much,” replied Mr. Hines, — MEXICAN REPLY HELD BACK.

SPANISH CABINET OUT; IN POWER SINCE 1915 Count Romanones Hands in Resig- nations of the Entire Ministry to King Alfonso. MADRID, Spain, January 9.—(Via London)—Count Romanones, who has been Premier in the Spanish Ministry since December, 1915, to-day present- ed to King Alfonso the resignation of | the entire Cabinet. King Alfonso asked Premier Roma- mones to form @ new Cabinot at once, It was reported that the Prime Min- ister would not modify the personnel | of his Ministry, but may rearrange the posts. WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.—-Ambas dor Riano had no news of the resig- | nation of the Spanish Cabinet and | disclaimed knowledge of the cause of | it. In other diplomatic quarte: however, it was considered probable | that that action was directly or indi- Fectly coneoted with Spain's attitude toward President Wilson's recent peace note. Spain has been very restive under the Gefman submarine campaign, It Is possible the Ministry under Prime | Minister Romanones has fallen be- cause of lack of public confidence in | their policy. There have been numer- | ous complaints in Spain that the Government has not been firm enough in protesting against the increasing humber of Spanish ships sunk by German submarine The Canary islands have also suf- fered greatly from the war and par- ticularly from German submarine operations, CHICAGO FINDS VOTES FOR WOMEN EXPENSIVE Has Added Nearly Million to Cost of Elections, According to Finance Board.

Bass says the man he waited en had hie coat collar turned up about his ears. Bass could not seo whether his hands were cut, as the man wore gloves, The ehirt and collar the man pur- chased were the same size as the Dlood-stained shirt and collar found in the dead woman's apartment.
