LAB 0 R UNIONS ARE
SCORED BY BISHOP TTruant Officer Says Organizations are Responsible for Child Labor Laws. NINETEEN APPLICANTS One Girl Under Thirteen Has ! Asked to Stop School Work, He Says. Organized labor unions were scored by George Bishop, county truant officer today, who alleged that they were responsible for the child labor law, enacted at the last sesion of the state legislature, permitting children to stop school and go to work when they were fourteen years old. According to the county officials an organized lobby of union leaders influenced the legislature to pass the law, which he believes is a vicious one. Mr. Bishop said he had learned this from a representative at the legislature. Children between fourteen and fifteen years have a desire to stop school, according to the truant officer. "If the children stayed in sc hool until they were old enough to realize the value of an education they would continue their education in higher spheres," said Mr. Bishop. Nineteen applicants for permits to stop work were approved by the truant officer. Approximately half of them were girls. One girl was refused an application because the registration blanks filed in the county superintendent's office indicated that she was but thirteen years old, though she professed to be fourteen years old. An investigation of the nature of the work being done by the children will be made at factories in the city by Bishop. MORE LAY SERVICE IS CHURCHSUBJECT Bi-ennial Conference of Lutheran Church Opens This Evening. (National News Association) NUREMBERG, Germany, Sept. 8. The fourteenth biennial conference of the Lutheran church will open here tonight with an address by Baron Wilhelm von Pechmann, of Munich, who will speak on "More Lay Service in the Church." More than twelve hundred delegates already are present from all parts of the world. There are fully W.000,000 adherents of the Lutheran church in the world and the lay work among the members Is just beginning to be felt. Social Work Advances. Baron von Pechmann said today there was an awakened religious conscience in Europe and America, but that it did not identify Itself with the church. In Germany and Scandanavia, however, the new religious movement could be attributed directly to the church. He pointed out the work that is being done in Europe and that is known as the "Innere Mission." This movement was started in 1848 by Pastor John Wichern, and has now, he said, become the greatest movement for social service in the world. ON RAILROAD ROW Elgie Castor, passenger conductor, is off duty for ten days on his vacation. E. Cromer, extra passenger conductor, is taking his place. Chris Vossler, yard brakeman whose hand was injured about ten days ago, returned to work today. Everett Moore, yard brakeman, has gone to Indianapolis for several days to attend the State Fair. The Theatres The theatrical season of 1913-1914 at the Gennett Theatre was formally opened Saturday afternoon and night when Neil O'Brien's minstrel troupe gave two performances. There is always something fascinating about a minstrel show and it usually is a good drawing card. O'Brien had several new and clever features this seasou. His sixty minutes of "Joyous Melody with Old Friends and New," was thoroughly enjoyed. His songs were new and the jokes were not "residentera." Eddie Ross, and his African Harp, was one of the decided "hits" of the evening. He knows how to play the banjo. The second part of the performance was entirely new being a reproduction of a class day at a University. The dance on the University eteps was exceptionally well executed. E. R. T.

(Continued from Page 1.) The defense has summoned George McKinney, Mary Pettiford., Nettie Saunders, James Moore, Dave Rickman and Samuel Lubinski. It is expected the defense will attempt to prove the act was justified. C. R. Richardson, attorney for Schools said he expected the jury to return a verdict of not guilty or a conviction on manslaughter. The indictment charges Schools with murder in the first degree. Schools "frequently has asserted he would commit suicide in the county jail if he were convicted and sent to the penitentiary for life. "I prefer death to life imprisonment," he is said to have asserted. Domestic jealosy led to the crime. His wife was friendly with Hansom Hunter who left the city July 29, the night of the killing. Hunter, it is alleged, was with the woman shortly before the murder. Schools maintains he purchased the razor with which he killed his wife to use on Hunter. He denied to Chief of Police Gormon that he always carried a razor, although Mary Hayes, proprietress of the boarding house on North Fourteenth street where the act was committed, informed the police Schools always carried the weapon. An ante-mortem statement by Mrs. Schools, in the hands of State's Attorney Reller, which will figure in the trial, conflicts in essential details with subsequent statements of Schools, and will figure prominently in the trial, it is expected. A brother of Schools residing in Dayton secured counsel for him. His father is a prosperous farmer residing on the New Paris pike, east of Richmond. ARRANGE SECOND TRIAL. Local Attorney to Act as Judge in Owen Terry Case. The second trial of Owen Terry, charged with being an accessory in the murder of Marshal Robert Richardson of Cottage Grove last March, will be started as soon ars the murder case of George Schools has been disposed of. Attorney Frank trayer, of this city, has been employed to assist Attorney Walter Bossert, of Liberty, in the defense. Prosecutor Reller stated he would ask the court for a change of judge. Judge Fox granted Terry a new trial on the grounds that the verdict of guilty returned in the trial held last month, was not substantiated by the evidence in the case. It is contended by Prosecutor Reller and Prosecutor Edwards of Union county that the evidence submitted in the other case was sufficient to warrant a verdict of guilty and that it should have been sustained by the court. Judge Fox said he would appoint a, local attorney to act as special judge. ON LONG HIKE (Palladium Special) EATON", O., Sept. S.

Puzzles For Foreigners Who Are Learning the Language. It is bard for the persou to whom English is his native tongue to realize what a struggle the foreigner has to understand some of the peculiarities of our spelling and pronunciation. One foreigner gives the following description of hie first lesson in an English class. We have been given a book to learn the letters. I arrive at the class, having iearned them perfectly. Soon, in the course of the lesson, we have the word 1-o-w. "Love," I pronounce it, thinking the w has the sound of y. "Xo; it ia pronounced 'lo,' " says the teacher. "Then why la the w there?" I Inquire, mystified. "It is there because that is the way the word is spelled," responds the teacher, "but it is silent Never mind why; It is sufficient to know that It is there." Before long we come to n-o-w. "Pronounce it," says the teacher. "Xo." I reply. "Whewill you not?" she asks me. It Is some time before she understands that I am trying to pronounce the word when I say "Xo." Then she declares that, although 1-o-w is lo, n-o-w is now. ' f,'"If you want to make it no," she explains kindly, "you put k before it." You may believe I am bewildered. However, I memorize that n-o-w Is now. The next word Is s-n-o-w. I pronounce It like now with an s before it. The teacher laughs. The w is again become 6lleut, apparently for no reason, and the word is called sno. But that is not all. Later I find that tf you drop the n from snow yon can pronounce it whichever way you like. Youth's Companion. Courage. "Henry is a brave man. Tbe other night his wife thought she heard a burglar."

CITY AND COUNTY TO GET PLANS TO BETTERJjIGHWAYS (Continued rrom Pag One) management of county roads for the first time in the history of this or any other county in the state. Under the present system the county is divtdid into three road districts, each in charpe of one of the county comniisers, who have little or no time to devote to such workWilt be Nine 'Assistants. Under the new road system when the county road superintendent d cides that a stretch of a certain road is in need of improvement he has he authority to act and orders the voik done under the direction of on? of nis assistant superintendents In this county there will be nine assistants to the highway superintendent. The law provides an assistant for every twenty-five miles of county highway, and there are 230 miles of roads under the jurisdiction of Wayne county. Right now a number of townships tp Wayne county are improving the roads under their supervision for the purpose of turning them over to the county, and by the time the new ro.id laws become operative it is possible that Wayne county's total free ,:ral highway mileage will exceed 300. This will be an advantage because it will assure the county a lareer pr cent of the state's motor vehicle tax.
