THE EIGHT-HOUR LAW.
Instructions for Strict Enforcement
by Attorney General Moody.
Washington. Nov. — Attorney General Moody
to-day Issued a circular letter of Instructions to
United States attorneys regarding prosecutions of
violations of the eight-hour law, in which he says
the government Is determined upon a strict en
forcement of this statute as relating to publlo
works of the United States. All United States at
torneys are directed diligently to Investigate all
complaints which may come to them from any
source of violation of the law, and upon their own
initiative to make Investigation If there appears
any reasonable ground for aaspaetlac a violation,
and where rafllctant evidence can be secured it
must be submitted to a grand Jury, with a view to
tectiring an Indictment. C. J. Carlton, a lawyer,
of Haverhill. ilass.. has bean appointed by the
Attorney General to have special charge or these
cases In the Department of Justice.
It is stated that while up to two or three months
ago comparatively few cases of alleged violations
of the eight-hour law were brought to the atten
tion of the department, in the last ten weeks as
many aa t:.r«e hundred alleged violations have
been reported. Mr. Carlton will act In conjunction
with Commissioner KefU. of the Bureau of Labor,
who has furnished much of the evidence upon
which the department Is now acting.
The text of the Attorney General's letter Is as
follows:
To United States Attorney*: By order of the
Pr*-blder;t jour attention Is directed to the pro
visions of "an act relating: to the limitation of the
hours of daily service of Laborers and mechanics
employed uron ths public works of the United
States and of the DUtrict of Columbia," approved
August 1, IKS, commonly known as the eight-hour
law.
The government is determined upon a strict en
forcement of this 6tatute, and you are directed dili
gently 10 Investigate all complaints which may
coma to >■•■ from any eource of violations of the
law and vi n your own Initiative to make inyestl
gation If there appears to you to be any reasonable
ground for suspecting violation of this law. In
every case in which you can secure sufficient evi
dence you will submit that evidence to the erand
Jury, with a view to securing an Indictment.
Your attention is particularly directed to the ex
ception In the first uectlon of the statute under
which laborers and mechanics may be worked more
than eight hours In a calendar day "in oase of
extraordinary emergency." In a recent case in the
District of Massachusetts Judge Dodge defined that
phrase as follows: "An extraordinary emergency,
such ac Is contemplated by The act, is the sudden,
unexpected happening; of something not of th<»
usual, customary or regular kind, demanding
prompt action to avert Imminent danger to life,
limb, health or property. The possibility of danger
is not enough. The peril must he certain, un
usual. Imminent and actual In order to constitute
an extraordinary emerge! Buch as the statute
contemplates." Judge Dodge also ruled that prob
able pecuniary loss to the contractor, unless due
to an extraordinary emersenry, as <lefin«*i above, Is
only an ordinary business rl. c k.
I desire to Impress upon you the importance of
using every effort to execute these directions, of
h«>irifr vigilant and active In this matter. You will
make prompt and full rep* rt to me of all cases and
of your action thereon, with your reasons therefor.
You will report Immediately the action of the grand
Jury an^'the -■■•-• ail trials, with a specifics
statement of the penalty imposed.

PANORAMIC VIEW OF PANAMA.
IXDUCED IMMIGRATION.
Charge That Contract Labor Laze
Has Been Violated.
[I*ram TO.* Tribune Bureau.]
■Washington, Nov. Troubla Is brewing tor
the South Carolina Immigration authorities who
were recently Instrumental In bringing in a ship
load of Europeans to the port of Charleston.
The United States Immigration bureau has re
ceived complaints alleging: that thea© aliens were
brought to this country In violation of the Con
tract Labor law. The solicitor of th© Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor has been Instruct
ed to make an Investigation. The raising: of a
question as to the letral'.ty of inducing immi
gration to South Carolina may throw a damper
over the whole project of diverting Immigration
to Southern ports, which has been taken up re
cently by a number of states. South Carolina
was among the first regularly to organize an im
migration commission and to effect a shipment
from Europe direct to a Southern port. "When
the immigrants arrived Commissioner General
Sargent was on hand by special request to su
pervise the examination of the Immigrants and
all but three on the ship were admitted.
This was all that the immigration bureau had
to do with the shipment, and if no complaint
had been mad©, the inspection of th© federal offi
cials would have ended th© matter. The com
plaints to th© department relate to the methods
used by the South Carolina immigration com
missioner in encouraging th© aliens to take pas
sage for South Carolina, It is alleged that they
were Induced to come under promise of employ
ment or an agreement This is a feature of the
Contract Labor law. for enforcement of which
the immigration authorities are responsible and
whatever evidence has been submitted will 'have
thorough investigation and study.
TO PUSH PATRICK CASE.
Appeal in the Ordinary Course
Would Xot Be Reached Until April.
[TVom Tha Tribune Bur«&a.]
Washington, Nov. 13. — An effort on th© part cf
District Attorney Jeroma to advance th© hearing
of the Albert T. Patrick case in the TJtattad
States Suprem© Court is expected, becaus© of an
inquiry received here by Supreme Court officials
from one of Mr. Jerome's assistants for Informa
tion relative to tha status of th© case on the
docket.
This is th© first manifestation of Interest in
the atandlns; of the case before the Snprem©
Court th© District Attorney's office has exhibited
slnoe the ajppeal was granted last July. The
case has Us place on th© Supreme Court cal
endar, where it Is No. 838, and under ordinary
ciroumstances would not be reached until April,
thus granting Patrick, who Is under sentence of
death, a long reprieve. It Is believed that Mr.
Jerome will make a motion to get an earlier
hearing to avoid giving Patrick's counsel the ad
vautages of the long- delay. In any event the
case cannot come up until January, as tha Su
preme Court Is confronted with an unusually
heavy docket for th© remainder of the fall term,
and a vacation will be taken at Thanksgiving
and aJso for Christmas.

NEW NAVAL, ENGINEER OFFICERS.— "Dr.*
Navy Department win In a ■week or two designate
tha Junior officers, probably eight or ten in number.
•who win take up naval engineering: as a specialty
under the system of making that duty the object
of several years' study and practical work under
trained officers of the old engineering corps. For a
year a number of officers of the line, of th» Junior
grade have been engaged on this work, under
Commander B. C. Bryan. They have heard lect
ure* In "Washington, visited the various manufact
uring plants, navy yards and. private shipyards and
are now about to go to sea. They have served as
assistants to the Inspectors of material, and have,
aided in the official trials of the new ships. They
are In all respects competent to take positions as
trained engineers and will now obtain the. practi
cal experience necessary as a finishing touch. They
will then be detailed to engineering work perma
nently, mostly of a designing character. The ex
periment of training these officers has been ob
served with much Interest in th«» service as a step
which paved the navy from one day being con
fronted with the fact of possessing no specialists
In engineering. It la not known Just how many
officers can be spared for the second place, but an
effort will be made to have as many as twelve de
tailed for the purpose.
MILTTAUT PRISON SCHOOL..— Reports received
from the military prison at Fort Leaven-worth.
Kan.. Indicate that th« prisoners should he more
closely employed. They may not work overtime,
and It Is not possible for the present to furnish all
of them with employment In the shops. The plant
has not been fully equipped. In the mean time
something must be done to keep the prisoners busy.
It Is proposed to establish a day and night school.
u> be conducted by the army chaplain on duty at
the Institution. It Is found to be possible to equip
euch a school out of existing funds of the war
Department, and to conduct the school after the
manner of the schools at army posts. The fact
that tiie prison is not a post does not Interfere with
the project In any way. The chaplain has been
detailed for duty there, and It fa proper, It is ex
plained, to regard such an Incident as carrying with
It the usual means of aiding: that officer m his
work as prescribed by the regulation* and the laws.
WIRELESS FOR TORPEDO CRAFT.— The wire
less telegraphy will bo used on board the torpedo
craft of the navy to a limited extent, and the first
of the boats of that class to receive the apparatus
will be the Whlpple. one of the destroyers, which
Is used as the flagship of the commanding officer
of the flotilla In home waters. It Is possible that
one of the torpedo boat* on the Pacific Coast and
one on the Asiatics station will be similarly equipped,
but the action will be delayed until after the in
stallation on the Whlpple has been fully tested.
Wireless on torpedo boats will have Its uses, of
cour66, but there will be a decided limit to the
means of communication, em •» the ships cannot
carry tail masts, and It is considered that one boat
equipped with the apparatus will serve all the pur
poses required. The Whlpp'.e will be equipped at
the navy yard at League Island.

What you get may be very nice.
or you may not fancy the pattern at

That's -where we have such an ad

leaving price differences quite aside.

ten ty Judge Halghc. Judges WiUard. Bart! .-•-. aad
O'Brien concurring.
The court, in th* prevailing; opinion lays down
the following; rule of the law.
We are thus led to lay down the rule that a
stockholder has an Inherent right to a proportion
ate share of new stock issued Tor rsocey only, and
not to purchase of property for the purposes of the
corporation or to effect consolidation: and. while
he can waive that right, he cannot be deprived of
it without hia consent, except *h«a the Meadl is
issued at * fixed price not less than car and he is
given the right to take at that price in proportion
to his holding, or la s<>ra<» other e<jultabi» way that
will enable him to protect his Interests by acting
on hla own Judgment and using his own resources.
This nils is Just to all and tends to prevent the
tyranny of majorities, which needs restraint, as
well as virtual attempts at blackmail v- «mall mi
norities, which should be prevented
