UPHOLDS EiCHT-llOUR LAW
Supreme Oontt of United Btites Panes
Upon Kansni Statute.
LEGISLATURE HAS THE SUPREME POWER
Contractors Tilth Municipalities Are
Required to Obiervt Uwi ltego.
latin- Manner It) Which Work
Shall Be Done.
WASHINGTON. Nov. SO. -The t'nlted
States supreme court today affirmed tho
constitutionality of the eight-hour law of
the state of Kansas regulating labor on
public works. Justice Harlan said, In hand
ing down the opinion of the court, that If
the statute Is mischievous the responsibility
rests with the legislature and not the
rourts. Chief Justice Fuller and Juetlc
Brewer and Perkham dissented.
The Kansas law. whose validity was
called into question in the suft was enacted
In 1891, and provided that eight hours
should constitute a day's work for work
men employed by or on behalf of the state
or by any' county or city or other munlcl
polity lh the state. ; It also prohibits' con
tractors from requiring laborers engaged
on work for the state to perform more than
eight hours' labor In a day.. Both fine apd
Imprisonment are. provided' for by the law
The case decided today was that of W.
W. Atkins against the " State of Kansas
Atkins had a contract with, the, corpora
tion of Kansas City, Kan., for paving, and
he was charged with requiring a workman
named Reese to labor ten hours a day. He
was prosecuted In the state court, where
the decisions were uniformly against mm.
Atkins appealed from the decision of the
state supreme court to the federal supreme
court, alleging that the statute is In viola
tlon of the first section of the fourteenth
amendment to the constitution. In that it
denied him due protection of the law and
deprived him of his property without due
process.
Case lavolves Public Work Only
Referring to the only other decision of
the cmtrt on the eight-hour question, that
of the Holden- against Hardy, in which
the court sustained .the . law of Utah fl
Ing an eight-hour day for miners employed
underground. Justice Harlan called atten
tion to the fact tba, while. )t the Utah rase
private interests were Involved, the present
cane Involves employment on public work
only. The opinion Was based on the theory
that all the municipalities of a state are
the creations of the state, that the work
for them Is of a public character and does
not infringe oil the personal liberty of
anyone. He then added:
Whatever may have 'been the motives
that controlled the enactment of the sta
tute in Question, we can Imaalne no uos
slble ground to dispute the power of the
siaie. io aeciare inui no one undertaking
wora ror it, or lor one or its municlpa
agencies, shall permit or reoulra- an. em
ploye on such work to labor in excess of
eight hours each day, and to Inflict pun
ishment upon contractors who disregard
such a regulation. It cannot be deemed a
fiart of the liberty of any contractor that
is be allowed to do public work In any
mode he may choose to adopt without re
gard to the wishes of the slate. On the
contrary, it belongs to the state, as the
guardian and trustee for Its people, to
prescribe the conditions on which it will
permit public work to be done. No court
lias authority to review its action as to
that respect. Regulations on this subject
suggest only considerations of public pol-
Icy. And with such considerations the
courts nave no concern.
Question of Public Pulley;
Taking, up the .question, of public- policy,
Justice Harlan said:
If it be contended to- be the right of
everyone to dispose of his labor upon such
terms as he deems best, as undoubtedly it
is, and that to make It a criminal offens
for a contractor for nubile woi-k I r rxirmlt

OTHER MURDERERS PLEAO NOT GUILTY
Medermeler Admits that rian Had
Been Made io Kill Mars Before
He Was Arrested aad
Confessed,
CHICAGO. Nov. 30. The youthful self-
confessed murderers and trtvln robbers,
Peter Nledrrmeler, Harvey Van leln. Ous
ts v Marx and Emit Roeskl, were arraigned
In court tonight, Marx pleading guilty to
all the charges against him, but his three
occompllces pleaded not guilty. During the
afternoon the prisoners were removed from
the Harrison street police station to tho
county Jail, where they will remain until
brought to trial. No excitement marked
the trip to the Jail. Each prisoner waa
placed in a separate patrol wagon and Was
guarded by seven policemen and two dep
uty sheriffs.
During the Journey Roeskl Joked with one
of the policemen and sarcastically said:
I would like to have, you alone for just
one minute,"
Shortly before the prisoners were re
moved to the county Jail, Marx waa con
fronted with the three accomplices. Marx's
confession implicating Van Detn Nleder
meter and Roeekl, was resd to the prison
ers. The bandits arrested In Indiana re
fused to confirm or deny the contents of
the message. They were then a.sked to
tell whatever more they had to say con
cerning their career.
"I am willing to hang without the wink
of an eye If I see Marx, the squealer, hing
tint," Van Dein said.
'"The same here," Niedermeler added.
"You fellows got no more than you de-
rcrved," Marx said.
"Sometime ago," Marx said to the In
spector of .police, "I met the bunch In
Ocleans street, where we intended to rob
the American Express wagon, and I forgot
my large gun, This angered the boys end
they told me to leave thorn. I walked
away, and when fifty feet away a bullet
passed through the brim it my hat. It
was fired by one of these fellows. I got
revence."
Niedermeler admitted to the police that
he and Van Deln had made an attempt to
kill Marx. Roeskl also said that he had
narrowly escaped murder at the hands of
his accomplices.
Medermeler Plana Kscapc.
Chief of Police O'Neill frustrated a plan
by' which Peter Niedermeler, one of the
car barn bandits, sought to escape from
the Harrison street station during an In
terview with the chief. Aa a result of the
Incident, however, ' the ' police today re
doubled the guard over the cell in which
Niedermeler la locked.
Niedermeler all but carried out his plan
to make a dash for liberty. He craftily
arranged to meet Chief O'Neill alone In
Inspector Lavln's office, ostensibly to make
a numbtr of confessions, and while gesticu
lating In Illustration tried to leap through
the window to the street. His plan was
frustrated by the foresight of O'Neill, who
before permitting the interview, stationed
three armed deteotlvea outside the window
through which the bandit hoped to escape.
Niedermeler. seeing his plan checked, sig
nified that the "Interview" need not go
further and that he was teady to return to
his cell.
'We will all walk to the scaffold without
a tremor."
Thfs waa the statement' made-today by
the murderers, Marx, Van Dine, NUder
melr and Roeskl, ae they -sat in their cells
and; discussed their probable fate.
Van Pine, It Is stated, will plead insanity.
This plea may aJso be entered by the lher
landlts. . Van Dine Is said to have a near
relative who la In an asylum. A great
grandfather Is said to have been aJJudged
Insane and sent to an asylum, in which
he died. , .. .
Van Dine, while not denying this report.
would not confirm It. Roeskl said that he
heard of It from Van Dine In the Indiana
dugout
' Mother Worked for Boys.
Van Dine's mother has been working
with charitable organisations tor several
years, devoting much time to organizing
boys' clubs, the purpose of which was to
keep boys from saloons, smoking and read
ing lurid literature. She told Police In
spector Lavln today that she never sus
pected her son of any wrongdoing.
Gustavo Marx today told the polico of an
attempt which he aald the other three mem
bers of the robbers' band had made to take
his life. He declared that the three shct at
him when they were planning one of the
abortive attacks on the money wagon of
the American Express company.
Mayor Harrison hus ordered the police to
arrest every person caught loafing about
without visible means of support, and the
police magistrates have orders, where such
a vagrant Is taken up and a weapon Is
found in hlf possession, to fine hlai to the
limit allowable. A desire to clear the city
of undesirable men whose Idleness may
lead them Into crime has caused the mayor
to Issue the order.
Confessions Become Common.
Chief O'Neil stated today that Charles
Kruger, in Jill at Gttensburg, Pa., has
confessed to the murder of Policemen
Pennell and Divine in Chicago. According
to Chief O'Neil Kruger hna also con
fessed to the murder of sixteen other

The highest medical authority In the

Chief O'Neil says, particularly In view of
tho f.tct that there Is a faithfulness to de
tails which would be almost In-possible had
the man not been prenent at the time of the
crime. In his confession Kruger stated
that he rame to Chicago In order to enrap
