GULP STREAM ACTIVE. Flow Strong Enough to Hold Back . Steamer to Serioni Extent New York, Aug. 14. That the gulf stream is active 600 miles east of this city at a point in tbe Atlantic ocean where, according to the best authorities , uteamshin Moltke on her western way, was asserted by Captain Ruser of that ship when she arrived at Hoboken yesterday, from Hamburg, Boulogne and Dover. , This activity was observed on Thurs day. On Monday the midday speed rec onii.it showed 404 knot, the next day 397 knots, then 389 and SSS on the fol lowing daya and Captain Ruser began to seek for the cause. The water sud denly began to grow warmer and in streaks there were high temperatures that were startling. For fiVe hours this high temperature was recorded and all day. the peculiar activity oi ine gun stream was apparent. 'When noon on Friday the day's run was commuted it was found that the speed logged only M7 mile. All this time, according to Captain Ruser, there were light wind from the southwest, a high barometer and an in tensely humid atmosphere. The weather was ideal for, the voyagers as far as smooth seas went, but the temperature on shipboard waa almost unbearable. registering nearly 00 degrees. "I never before witnessed the? gun stream active in so high a latitude," said Captain Ruer. "When we felt it full strength we were approximately in north latitude 41 degrees, or the same latitude as New York, and in 60 de grees west longitude. 'i have no theory to account for the current we met. If it keeps up the epeeu that it had when we crossed it, it will be heard of again on the other side." TRAINING SHIP ASHORE. . Mackinaw City.

Novel de- fenses were made today to two suits instituted by the attorney general for Lewi T. Bryant, commissioner of labor of New Jersey, for violation of the child labor law prohibiting the em ploy ment of children under 14 year of age in factories of the state. In a suit against the Mercer Pottery company it wa contended that the law hniill )m liliersllv conotrueil and the employer exonerated unless it could be hown that he knowingly employed child Mow the legal age. and that there were no circumstance to justify a be lief that it was alwva the age. Judge Macl'herson held that this contention was without force, since the law requires that affidavits and proofs of age for all children under. 16 shall be filed with the department of laW. Another point of the defense was that the child was not employed by the company directly, but by the foreman of a department. In another case against the I'nited Oil Cloth company, it was said that a child who had been working for some time had not been employed by author ity of the company because the mana ger, who usually employ help, wa ab sent in New York. Decision was re served in both cases. Sun Francisco, ( i-iwitih to the Aug. 14.
