STOP CHILD LABOR
Senate Passes Bill for District
of Columbia. .
F0RAKER ASKS QUESTION
Has Bonaparte Agreed Xot to En
force Commodity Clause of Rate
Law Roosevelt Still Thinks
Xegro Soldiers Are Guilty.
WASHINGTON. May 6. The Senate
today passed a bill prohibiting the
employment, within certain hours, of
children under 14 years of age in the
XMNtrict of Columbia, in any factory,
workshop, telegraph office, restaurant,
hotel, apartment house, saloon, pool or
billiard-room, bowlinsr alley, or' tn
transportation or distribution or trans
mission of merchandise or messages.
No such child is permitted to work at
any employment for wages during
school hours, nor before 6 A. M., nor
after 7 P. M.
Chairman Dolliver. of the committee
on education and labor, in reporting
the bill, said it was free from any con
stitutional objection tnat might be used
anainst the Beverldge bill, which pro
vides for a National labor law.
Why Xot Enforce Clause?
The Senate also adopted a resolution
offered by Foraker, of Ohio, directing
the Interstate Commerce Commission
to inform the Senate whether the com
modity clause of the Interstate com
merce act had been complied with
since May 1', 1908, and. if not, whether
the non-compliance by the railroads
has ben due to any agreement, ar
rangement . or understanding: between
the railroad' companies and the au
thorities. An amendment by Culber
son, agreed to. also called on the com
mission to state its reasons for recom
mending an extension of two years In
the time given the railroads to comply
with the commodity clause.
The conference report on the army
appropriation bill, carrying an aggre
gate of $05,377,246. was adopted. This
amount was $3,463,000 than the bill
carried when first passed by the
Senate.
Still Thinks Negroes Guilty.
Warner, of Missouri, concluded his
speech on the Brownsville affair, his
closing remark calling forth a state
ment from Foraker, that a Western
paper had announced that the PresU
dent recently wrote to Smith, of Mich
igan, to the efTect that he had not
changed his mind as to the guilt of
the negro soldiers of .the Twenty-fifth
Regiment. ' Foraker suggested that
the introduction of that letter in the
record would be interesting, but Smith
said he had not made it public and
could not do so.
Smith did not deny the receipt of the
letter, but declined to make its con
tents public. He said, if anyone should
do so, the President himself should
give it out-
INCREASE PAY IX THE ARMY
Bill Now Gives $500 Flat Raise to
Officers.
WASHINGTON, May ' 6. Senator War
ren today reported to the Senate a com
plete agreement of the conferees on the
Army appropriation bill, and it was
adopted. It makes a flat increase of $500
a year in the pay of officers and of 35
per cent In the pay of enlisted men in the
Army. The bill as originally agreed to
carries $95,382,246. The additional appro
priations made by the Senate for supplies
and incidental expenses for the Quarter
master's Department, construction of bar
racks and quarters for the Held artillery,
for the organized militia, manufacture of
arms and other items' were scaled down
and 13,463,162 eliminated from the bill.
Four More Revenue Cotters.
WASHINGTON. May 6. The House
committee on Interstate and foreign
commerce today reported favorably a
resolution authorizing the construc
tion of four revenue cutters at a cost
not exceeding $925,000, for service in
the waters of Key West. Florida, the
Pacific Coast. Lake Superior and Nar
ragansett Bay. The bill provides
$250,000 for cutters for the Pacific
Coast.
CANTEEN BILL TURNED DOWN
House Treated to Speech by Crank
in the Gallery.
WASHINGTON. May 6. By the
overwhelming vote, of 167 to 46, and
after a two hours' debate, the House
today again went on record against
re-establishment of the canteen in the
National soldiers' homes. In the course
of the discussion a man, giving his
name as George F. Gridley, of Provi
dence, R. I., unfurled an American flag
and proceeded to :make an address
from the gallery on the abstinence
question. He was promptly taken out.
Perhaps the real sensation of the
day was an admission by Bennett, of
New York, a member of the immigra
tion committee, that he had, under the
old immigration law, "railroaded" the
naturalization of many foreigners in
one day. '
With the exception of the adoption
of the conference report on the bill
re-organizing; the Consular service, on
which the Democrats forced two roll
calls, the sundry civil appropriation
bill was under consideration the entire
day. Little progress was made to
wards its completion.
Veteran of Indian Wars Dying:.'
BILLINGS, Mont., May 6. William
Hamilton, believed to be the oldest of the
pioneers of the Northwest,: is dying of
canoer 'of the stomach. Hamilton left
Missouri in 1832, and a few years later
went up the Missouri River with a party
of . fur traders. He lived with the In
dians on Flathead Lake j'ears before gold
was discovered in Montana. He inter
preted the Indian sign writing on the
cliffs bordering- the lake for the Smith
sonian Institute. ,
In his younger days he was in many
Indian fights, and acted as scout and in
prpreter for the Government- While

LULLED TO REPOSE
How Paper Trust Quieted Pub
lishers' Alarm.
ITS PROMISES NOT KEPT
Told Them It Would Do Them Good,
but Only Good AVas in Advance
In Prices Story of Kan
sas Pnblisher.
WASHINGTON, May 6. The publishers
of newspapers appeared today before
the House committee Investigating the
wood pulp and print paper question.
Frank P. MacLennan, publisher of the
Daily State Journal, of Toprka, Kan.,
stated that, when the combination of
papermakers was formed, the publishers
were told not to get excited, as it would
result in their benefit in the end. His
contract for paper at that time, he said,
was $1.34 per hundred pounds at the mill.
This contract, he said, ran from Sep
tember. 1897, to September, 1898. When
the contract exDired he was unable to
renew it at that price. The best figure
he could get in making a new contract
was $1.85 at the mills. On that and pre
ceding contracts he had been allowed
3 per cent discount for cash, but during
the last five years the prices have been
net.
Mr. MacLennan told of his difficulty
in securing new contracts and submitted
to the committee figures which were
furnished to Representative Calderhead,
of Kansas, a member of the ways and
means committee, by Frank Gilbert,
president of the Frank Gilbert Paper
Company at Waterford, N. Y and also
a stockholder in the International Paper
Company.
These figures, Mr. MacLennan said, as
tonished him because of their incorrect
ness. According to them the selling
price of newspaper in 1WI7 was $2.34. Mr.
MacLennan said that in that year he
was paying $1.34 at the mill.
In reply to questions by Mr. Miller,
Mr. MacLennan said his paper was Re
publican in politics and he thought 'the
passage of the Stevens bill removing the
duty on wood pulp and print paper would
benefit the whole country, including .the
publishers.
