REGISTRATION OF LABOR.
An Amendment to County Reform Bill
Made.

The executive committee of the County and
Township Reform Commission met yester-
day morning in the Statehouse to perfect the
bill for presentation to the commission this
morning. The portions of the bill drawn by
the subcommittee were carefully gone over
in part. The subheads considered were on
township government, county government
and that portion relating to uniform sys-
tenn of accounts and a general supervision
by the auditor of state. The greatest amend
ment was made by request of the labor or
ganizations. 1t provides that for all work
to be done in the county the laborers shall
be registered In the registration, age, ex-
perience and whether or not the man has a
family to support are the first requisites.
For common labor, the names of those to
the number required will be taken from this
list in the order of registration and the work
will be given to them. Skilled labor will be
subject to an examination and those apply
ing will be graded and registered according
to the per cent. made. All skilled labor will
be employed in regular order, from the high
est grade attained
The county and township bills differ as
to when they shall go into effect. The town
ship BILL as drawn, will not go into effect UNI
til after the election or in 1901 The county
bill is so drawn as to go into effect imme-
diately after its passage. This provision APP
plies only for the first organization, and is
ship shall appoint one member of the Coun-
ty Advisory Board, and those from the
county at large shall be selected by the
county commissioners. The board, so organ
lied, shall serve only until after the next
election.

that he was done an injustice by story
published in the Journal yesterday Mr..

the Journal said his daughter Grace charged
him with having threatened to take her life
with butcher knife.
II am not guilty of using or threatening
to use a butcher knife or any other kind of
a knife on my daughter Oracle" said the
lawyer On the contrary, what I said and
did was for her good, and what 1 deemed
my right as her father" Mr.. Ryman also
excepted to being called a practitioner on
"Dogberry row. saying that he did not
have on an average one case a month in
the justice courts. He says also that he
was not bound over to keep the peace. -
The case against him, he says, was con-
tinued and he was released under nomi-
nal bond. He declares that his family has
not been living with friends, but is living
with him. Mr.. Ryman asserts, in addition,
that he was not drunk when his daughter
sent for the police.

MIR. CONNER EXPLAINS.
The Trustees Didn't Consider His Fig
ures Properly.


State Statistician Conner takes exceptions
to the charges made by various township
trustees that the figures given out by him
regarding the per capita cost of government
by trustees were inaccurate. He says in ex-
PLANTATION of his figures that there are two
items to be considered in determining the
per capita cost, and that these were not set
forth in his first statement, because they
represented the work of others than en-
ployes of the Bureau of Statistics. In order
to illustrate the truth of his first assertion,
Mr.. Conner cited two examples from among
those included in the first publication. In
township No. 2 the amount paid to the
trustee by the township was $500, while the
total of 1884. The population of the town
ship was 1865, and from the trustees point
of view this would indicate that the per
capita cost was a comparatively small
the published statement, the figures in the
StatiSticianS office showed that the total
amount paid out through the township
trustee, including the above items, aggregat~
township business 1894 The statistican
supposes that when the township trustee
made the protest it was on the theory that
he had charged the 1894 of per capita cost
directly against the trustee as a cOnSidera-
ton paid him, when, in reality, it was the
total cost of township administration. Had
the salaries alone been divided by the pODu-
latfon it would have made the per capita
cost of trustees salaries IA cents.
A similar state Of affairs existed in regard
to township No. 3, where Mr.. Conner showed
that the total amount paid to the trustee
had been $40, while the total amount paid
out by him was 81. 11273 the population of
the township being 1,54S, making the per
CAPITA cost 81 60
