HITTER COIITEST

WAS BEGUN TODAY 111 LEGISLATURE House Committee Reports Out Proctor Regulation Bill So Amended Its Father Was Shocked. (Continued From Pago One) to make It a caucus measure because of the split In their ranks. Uixn both aides there are all shades of opinions from the severest restrictions In regard to limitation and high license fee to no bill at all. This is In face of the fact that tho Republican members of the houso committee, Greiger, Wider and Ross, signed a minority report urging a $1,000 license, the elimination of tho transfer of license feature, and two or three other sections of tho bill. It Is believed this is done in order to get a preliminary test vote upon the proposition on the jump. In order to satisfy the demands of the German settlements In the southern part of the state there will be an amendment Introduced from the floor making a special license of $100 for a silicon that handles nothing but beer, but providing for a forfeiture of the license and a heavy fine if the holder of such a license Is convicted of selling anything stronger than beer.

MrtS. ELINOR GLYNN DR. HURTY SPEAKS Oil SCHJE MATTER Says Mrs. Bartel Is Right that Where There Is Odor There Is Defect. In a letter to Dr. T. Henry Davis, city health orflcer. Dr. J. N. Hurty, secretary of the state board of health and otic of tho best authorities on sanitation in the country, upholds Mrs. Ben llartel in her declaration that if there Is an odor in the school room there Is something vitally wrong with the vcnfilation despite the fact that a mechanical fan system is installed. Dr. Hurty also upholds Mrs. Barters opinion that the nose is a very good testing mucnlnc. Owing to a slight illness, Dr. King t!?b sanitary expert of the state board of health, was not able to come here last week for his investigation, but is expected to arrive here Monday. As shown by .the letter of Dr. Hurty which is given below. Dr. King will bring all apparatus with him necessary for a thorough scientific examination. Dr. Davis is very much Interested In the matter. Dr. Hurty's letter is In reply to Dr. Davis suggestion that if Dr. King was not qualified for a complete investigation in all particulars that "a mechanical engineer had better be sent with him. Dr. Hurty's letter as It touches upon the school situation foliows: "I am sure you will find Dr. Klngj equal to the situation. He long ago studied the subject of school sanitation and has written one article of real merit upon the subject. He will bring a anemometer and the Wolpert test apparatus and make a thorough examination of the schools. If necessary he must give several days to the work and make a complete report which is entirely and v absolutely sclentlflcr" "Mrs. llartel speaks correctly when she says that tho nose is a good testing machine for ventilating. If the air In a room bas tho least odor, is heavy, and thero is any suggestion of foulness the ventilation is not good. Dr. King wil apply the smelling test as well as chemical and mechanical tests.WELL SUPPLIED WITH GRANDMOTHERS Armstrong, Mo., Feb. 21.

KEEGAN CHARGES

UIIFAIRTACTICS Employed in Having Moth ers to Petition Against the Child Labor-Bill. (Palladium Special) Indianapolis, Feb. 21. Unfair influence upon mothers of children working in Terre Haute bottle factor ies In forcing them to sign petitions against the Keegan child labor bill, was alleged in the final public meet ing, of the senate labor committee on this subject Monday evening by Rep resentative John J. Keegan, the au thor of the bill, and by Mrs. Virginia Lockwood, chairman of the committtee on social and labor conditions of tue Indiana Federation ot women's clubs. Michael Turner, bottle maker of Terre Haute, presented Senator Beal, chairman of the committee, with pe titions of tbe mothers of working children, asking for an amendment to permit the children to work nine hours a day and do "night shifts." "How did you get these petitions from the mothers?" asked Keegan "Please explain to the committee." Went to Mothers. 'Well. well, I I They were simply gotten by going to the mothers. The petitions stand for themselves, Mr. Chairman. I am not discussing them any further," answered Turner. "Very well," answered Keegan "That's all I wanted to know." Then Mrs. Lockwood arose and told how charity workers under her direction, women belonging to the fed eration of women's clubs, had visited the homes of the working children. "They found that the children sim ply brought home slips with instruc tions for the mothers to sign them and return them Monday morning, said she. "The mothers wrote their names on those slips and that's how the signatures were obtained for these petitions." "I don't suppose there ever was a petition of any length presented to a body like this, to which some person did not object," interposed Turner. "I suggest that you answer my original question and tell how these signatures were gathered," spoke up Keegan. j "A Mr. Richardson got some ot them by driving around in a buggy," replied Turner. Then he left, saying he had to make a train. "We know sufficiently the duress under which these petitions were wrung from mothers," said Keegan, later on in the discussion. An Evansville Lobby. A large delegation from Evansville, espousing the cause of the Fendrick tobacco factory, succeeded in getting the advocates of the law to admit that in no other state is there a limitation of eighteen years as the minimum for gisjs employed in the tobacco trade. On the other hand it was shown by the Keegan bill supporters that the Evansville factory is the only one in the state which has objected to the bill. Two Evansville .ministers permitted themselves to be played as the trump cards for the Fendrick forces, while rotund Samuel Gompers was a full hand for those seeking to protect the children. Rev. J. N. Jaiser, pastor of the First Avenue Presbyterian church of Evansville, said the girls who leave the public schools at 14 and go into the cigar factory show, les3 immorality than those who are unemployed until a later age. He said he never heard a single imputation of vice concerning the factory, and urged the committee not to let the bill put up the bars to useful employment until the girls became 18 years old. Even Pastor Opposes. Rev. J. N. Schneider, pastor of Zion's church, Evansville, said girls should be permitted to go into the Fendrick factory early so they can become dexterous by the time they are "of age." 'Are you a fellow who used to go to bed at night and send your fourteen year old boy out to work through those hours," broke in Senator Lamont suddenly. "Well, really, I am not here to answer that question. It is slightly off the point," said the minister. "No, no, I guess be can't," roared the champions of the children. Samuel Gompers spoke as the father of a large family of children and as a man who had worked in a tobacco factory 26 years, and had been forty years associated with the industry of cigar making. He defended the eight hour day for children by showing that since 1SS6, when the cigar makers union forced the eight hour day the deaths by tuberculosis among cigar makers had decreased from 52 per cent, to 21 per cent, and that among non-union cigar workers, not on the eigm nour Dasis, mere nas Deen no such decrease in deaths from tubercu losis. "Some men must be content with profits other than that which comes out of the hides of innocent children," he declared. Representative Keegan, Mrs. Vir ginia Lockwood, Virgil Lockwood, E. N. Klopper, representing the natron al child labor committee, and A. C. Bauer, president of the German-American Christian Civic league of Indianapolis, spoke in behalf ot the bill. B. F. Johnson, secretary of the Commercial club of Hammond; IL O. Smith, representing the Premier motor manufacturing company of Indianapolis. Matthew Bray, realty man of Evansville, Dr. Worsham, Evansville coun cilman, and John F. Reilly, Hammond attorney, sought amendments to the measure. The island on which the Eddystone lighthouse is situated is tbe smallest inhabited island in the world, it is said, although there may be some disputants to this claim in tbe Thousand Islands. It is only thirty feet in diameter at low water, - -
