Cruise of the Snark. In 1906 London built a 55-foot yatch, the Snark, in which during 1907-1909 he cruised the Soutli seas. His life was strenuous and many of his books particularly "John Barleycorn," were popularly accepted as autobiographical experiehces. Early --A -Ui +?a.lr in iiis career ne set mmseii cue of writing a certain amount every day and lived up to the undertaking to the last. London was deeply interested in socialism and recently devoted himself to farming, a hobby, he testified in court a few days ago, to whici he devoted all the earnings from liis pen. He made a deep study of agriculturalproblems and recently qualified as anj expert on farm irrigation. He married Bessie Maddem, ofi Oakland, Cal., April 7, 1900. Kittredge of Berkeley, Cal.

I Kansas uuy, mo., inov. zz?rne Adamson eight-hour law was held unconstitutional here today by Judge William S. Hook in United States district court. Judge Hook directed the receivers of the Missouri, Oklahoma & Gulf railroad. who brought the original action in this case, to enjoin the law from going into effect, to assist the government in expediting the case to the supreme court for tinal decision and to invite the attorneys of every railroad | in this country to participate in th^ hearings before the supreme court. Tnis was requested in tne government's motion to dismiss the injunction petition of the railroad, the government desiring to avoid "prolonged, unnecessary and scattered litigation" that would be made necessary by the hearing of countless similar suits filed by the railroads. It is expected that the ultimate de- I cision as to whether the law will go ; into effect January 1 will be handed ! down before those suits come up for j hearing. A transcript of tne present case will be filed in the United States supreme court before it reconvenes December 4. To tturry Decision. Washington, .Nov. 22.?An agreement between the railroads and the department of justice to ask the supreme court to pass on the constitutionality of the Adamson act before January 1, when it takes effect, appeared to be near at hand today.

In that. event, other.suits already instituted attaching the Adamson act may be dropped. j Final decision in the matter, how-| ever, probably will await word from ' G. C. Todd and Marvin E.
