Attorney General Sa> That E-ght
Hours Constitute a Day's Work
On All Government Jobs.
Washington. June 9.—The opinion
of Attorney General Mi ody regarding
the application of the eight-hour law
on the Isthmus of Panama wa> made
public yesterday. He holds that the
act of August 1. 1802. which restricts
to eight hours daily service of labor
ers and mechanics employed by the
government of the Cnited States, or
by any contractor or sub-contractor
u|K n the public works of the I'nited
States, applies to the laborers and
mechanics in the construction of the
Panama canal
That act, however, the attorney gen-
eral hollis, does not apply to the office
force of the Inthnms Canal cora mis
siou stationed on the Ithmus of Pan-
ama. or to any of the employes of
the government who are not within the
ordinary meaning of the words "labor-
er.-* and mechanic®." Also that the
scope of the act is not limited by the
territorial jurisdiction of congress.
In answer to the request of the sec-
retary for an opinion as to whether
the provisions of the art mentioried
apply to the hour? of labor of "me-
chanics and laborers" employed in the
construction, maintenance and opera
tion of the Panama railroad and steam-
ship line, the attorney decided in the
negative.
As to whether the eight hour law
applies to that class of employes whose
services are necessary before and al-
ter the regular hours at work such as
engineers who must get up steam in
the morning before the regular hours
begin and clean the machinery after
the day's work is done the attorney
general says:
"It is believed the words ordinarily
accepted for them and having in mind
that the act should not be extended
beyond its plain terms the commission
will have no difficulty in determining
in each case as it arises whether the
employe is a laborer or mechanic, or
whether his duties are such as to war-
rant -nno other designation oi his
employment."

FATAL ACCIDENT ON GUTHRIE'S
STREET RAILWAY.
And Threw Them Upon the Track In
Front of an Approaching Car—
Both Died of Injuries.
Guthrie. June 10.—As a result of a
street car accident yesterday two
women are dead, having been mangled
beneath the car's wheels.
While driving home from the city,
yesterday a little after twelve o'clock
the horse of Mrs. Cupp-Archer became
frightened on East Springer avenue
and started running away, throwing
Mrs. Cupp-Archer and her thirteen
year old daughter Dovie, from the bug-
gy on the street car track, where the
next instant they were struck by a
Capitol Heights street car. and both
partially run over before the car could
be stopped.
The rront wheels passed over the
bodies of both women, severing the
right limb of the mother above the
knee, and the left limb below the
knee. She was also internally hurt,
and was taken to a nearby residence
a*. 1210 East Springer avenue, where
she died at 2:30. She became con
scious before death, and spoke to
those around her, of her children, ask-
ing that they be cared for. The girl
was perhaps the most badly injured,
and the floor of the car had to be re-
moved in order to extricate her from
the wheels. She suffered a fractured
thigh, a scalp cut about six inches
long, and both lips were cut from the
nose to the chin. Several texternal
and internal injuries were sustained,
and her condition was very critical.
She was first taken to a nearby house,
but later was removed to the hospital
on the west side, where she died at
>6 o'clock.
E. A. Thomas was the niotorman of
the car and G. L. Traxwell was the
conductor It is said that Thomas
Tainted when he reached the Rtreet
car office. From all reports, he evi-
dently did all in his power to stop
■the car and prevent the collision.
The car was stopped on the down
grade and was not over twenty feet
from the women, when they were
thrown from the buggy.

old boy and husband. Their home is
about two miles east of the city. The
management of the street car line,
place no blame on the motorman He
evidently had bis car under control,
or he could not have stopped it so
soon, and seeing the horse running
lie was prepared to stop the THE SECRETARY IS NOW WITH
THE EQUITABLE LIFE.
Bad Odor.
A bad odor from a person's breath
may be caused by many different ;
forms of dyspepsia. It may be due '
to stomach catarrh, biliousness, con- j
stipation, or a case of ordinary indi-
gestion. Whatever may be the cause,
there is just one reliable cure, and
that is Dr. Caldwell's (laxative) Syrup
Fepsin. It clears all the impurities
out of your body and makes your
breath as sweet as the June morning.

PREPARING FOR A CROWD.
St. Louis, El Reno & Western Sends
Settees to the 101 Ranch.
All the settees that could be snared
from the St. Louis. El Reno & West-
ern depot were shipped to the 101
ranch this morning, to furnish seats
for a tew of the fifty thousand people
wno are expected to attend the buf-
falo hunt to be given for the entertain-
ment of the National Editorial asso-!
ciation, next Sunday. The St. Louis
El Reno & Western will run an ex-
cursion train from El Reno through'
to Bliss, on the 101 ranch', on that
day. The train will leave this city
at 7:30 Sunday morning and return
that night. The fare for the round
trip will be $2.55, and it is thought
that a great many El Renoites will
go.
READY TO BEGIN WORK.
Steel Piers For the South Canadian
Bridge Will Be Placed Next Week.
Snperintendent Puckett says that
the work of sinking the steel piers of
the South Canadian bridge will be
begun next Monday, and that the
structure will be completed within
three months. El Reno has lost thou-
sands of dollars worth of trade during
the past year by the impassable con-
dition of that stream, and th? people
here are very anxious to have the
bridge completed as soon as possible.
In addition to the trade which the
merchants will get from the south
side, the city's supply of wood, hay
and produce of all sorts comes largely
from the 'arms across the river

New York. June 10.—Paul Morton
who retires from the secretaryship of
the navy on July 1. was yesterday
elected chairman of the Equitable Life
Assurance society. His election
marks the first and most important
step in the reorganization of the so-
ciety and was followed by the tender
of the resignations of President James
W. Alexander. Vice President James
H. Hyde. Second Vice President J.
G. Tarbell, Third Vice President
George T. Wilson and Fourth Vice
President Wm, H. Mclntyre.
It is known that Drayton Ives and
Chas. Stewart Fish, who were from
the outset of the controversy inside
the conservative element, were posi-
tively against the proceedings of the
meeting and are believed to have voted
against Mr. Morton's election.
The new chairman, to further quote
Senator Depew, did not consent to
fake the office until he had received
positive assurance that he would have
a "free hand as to measures." Mr
Hyde 'divested himself of the major-
ity control, but has made clear in his
letter to the board, retains a substan-
tial interest in the society.
All of the regulations submitted to
the meeting are subject to the pleas-
ure of Chairman Morton and none has
yet been accepted.
Just what aerion Mr. Morton will
take as to these resignations was not
disclosed, but it was strongly inti-
mated that President Alexander and
Vice Presidents Tarbell. Wilson and
Mclntyre retired with the belief that
their executive relations with the
Equitable had ended.
The interests to which Mr. Hyde
disposed of his stock number some two
scores of individuals, led by Thomas
F. Ryan, vi^e president of the Morton
Trust company, which has close rela-
tions with the Mutual Life Assurance
company, one of the Equitable society's
principal rivals. Mr. Ryan is said to
be heavily insured in the Equitable,
as ace. according to reports, many of
the others who acted with him in the
purchase of the Hyde holdings.
The price paid for the Hyde estate
stock, which is to be trusted practic-
ally in perpetuity was not disclosed,
but estimates vary from $3,500.000 to
$5,000,000.
Huge Task.
I was a huge task, to undertake the
cure of such a bad case of kidney di-
sease, as that cf C. F. Collier, of
Cherokee, la., but Electric Bitters did
it. lie writes: "My kidneys were
so far gone, I could not sit on a chair
without a cushion; and suffered from
dreadful backache, headache, and de-
pression. In Electric Bitters, howev-
er, 1 found a cure, and by them was
restored to perfect health. I recom-
mend this great tonic medicine to all
with weak kidneys, liver or stomach.

Guthrie, June 1 .—With the best of
good feeding for the people of Guthrie,
the National Editorial associafion
closed its three days' of work yester-
day and left on the train last night
for Enid, on their three days' tour
of the territory. It was the most suc-
cessful meeting the association ever
was a total of votes, the greatest
number ever cast for a president of
the editorial association.
The editors are so pleased with Okla-
homa that they want single statehood
They passed resolutions to the efTect
that it was legislative injustice and
an outrage that Oklahoma should have
condition and prevent months of pron-
tration and suffering so surely as Lydia
E. IMnkhain's Vegetable Compound.
Mrs. M E. Shotwell, of 103 Flatbush
Avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y., writes:

" I am a well woman, my nervousness in all

all women of its virtues? Snrely you

TRAINS ARE LATE.
Editors Will Not Arrive Until Nearly
Five O'clock.
Seven hundred members of the Na-
tional Editorial association will arrive
in the city, in two special trains, be-
tween 4:30 and 5 o'clock this after-
noon. The trains were to have ar-
rived at 3:1)0. but from some source
they have been delayed more than an
hour. Hundreds of vehicles are at
the depot to carry the visitors on a
trip throughout the city, and the line
of march as outlined in yesterday's
Democrat will be followed.

At the meeting yesterday whenever

Guthrie was honored by the election
of Leslie G. Niblack, editor of the

was contested by W. H.' Mayes, who
