Will be remembered that several years
ago he attracted considerable atten-
ton by riding around the city in his
horseless carriage, which at that date
was a unique event.
The business was located on Foster

ture of gasoline motors. The company
was organized as a corporation under
the laws of Massachusetts with cap

not prosper as anticipated and some

that it would be best to wind up its

But Few Successful
in Bay State.
Mr.. WADE TESTIFIES
His Views on the Factory
Laws of Mass.

Washington, March Rufus w.
chusetts district police, who is regard
ed as the leading authority in the Bay
state ON administration of the factory
laws, today appeared before the indus
trial commission.
He said that Canadian laborers came
to the United States in times of de-
preston in Canada or strikes in the
United States, but they did not come
to stay. Few strikes in Massachusetts
had been successful. He regarded the
laws of Massachusetts as satisfactory
at this time, so far as the employment
of female and child labor were con-
cerned.
Mr.. Phillips asked if it were true that
the strictness of Massachusetts labor
laws had caused many manufacturers
to leave there.
Mr. Wade said he had not seen much
of that. and that factories had contin-
ued to be built. In Massachusetts the
age limit for factory employment had
been raised gradually from to IA
years. He would not recommend the
increase of age limit to 16 years, be-
cause he believed that a child could
secure very fair education up to IA
years of age, and would be able to go
into the world and work intelligentIy
for it's benefit.
He said that in all towns of over
10000 inhabitants in Massachusetts,
night schools must be maintained and
illiterate children were not allowed to
work in factories unless they attend
ed night schools, although over IA
years Of age. The children were not
allowed to work over IS hours week
He said he would favor a lessening OF
hours of labor in Massachusetts gener-
ally, gradually, but would approve nc
radical change.
Speaking of the sweat shop system
Mr.. Wade said that Boston had beer
invaded by this system after it took
hold in New York, but he had made ar
investigation and recommended a law
which was enacted. five years ago Sine;
that time the sweat shops had beer
driven out, until today, he was sure
there was nothing Ia Massachusetts!
that could be designated as a sweat
shop. This had resulted in decreasine
| the amount Of clothing manufactured
in Boston, but the people thought they
gained more in health than they lost
in business, and they were satisfied
with the result.
Speaking of convict labor he said thai
although he had spent 10 years in pris.
on duty, his observations did not lead
him to believe that the product of pris-
ons was sufficient to effect the interests
of labor.
Mr.. S. N. d. North inquired whether
the payment of wages with store orders
had been abandoned. Mr.. Wade said
that that question had worked itself
out without legislation, and no such
practice was pursued.

parent purpose of cutting off the gar
rison at the water works.
The rebels bolted at the first sign Of
the advance, but they separated into
small bodies whenever the covert af-
forded opportunities, and kept up a
running fire.
By a series Of rapid advances fol-
lowed by flank movement, the enemy
was completely routed as far as Guau>
bupe, on the right and almost to Mari
quina on the left. The rebel loss was
heavy.
This afternoon Gen. Hale's brigade
continued the work of driving out the
rebels from the country between the re-
serVoir and the water works, q distance
of about three miles.

of the river, but the enemy Is still in

Greaco-Roman wrestling champion,
defeated the Terrible Turk" for the
worlds championship at that style to-
night in Music hall, winning the only
bout which, under the conditions in
tervening, was also the match The
Turk was a giant in stature as com
pared with Roeber and in skill was
his opponents equal, apparently.
The Turks manager explained to the
audience that Graeco- Roman was not
the Turks style, and forthwith chal-
lenged Roeber to a match for $500 at
catch as-catch can. Roeber declined
to accept at this time owing to en-
gagements.
This was the first meeting of these
athletes, and it was truly scientific.
Roeber, earlier in the day, was meas
ured and examined by DR.. Sargent at

ELECTRIC SHOCK
A Man Receives 1000 Volts
and Lives.

New York, March 7.-Joseph Hampel,
an employee of the Lexington avenue
cable power house, while working at
the switchboard today, received and
survived an electric shock of about
1000 volts. The mans body was burned
black from head to foot. Every stitch
of clothing was torn from him, and he
fell senseless through hole instanta-
neously burned in the floor by the ter
rife electrical power Hampel is ex-
pected to live. The doctors who attend
ed him say there is no case on record
of man with standing a similar shock.
The accident was caused through
HampePs trying to ngnten a loose
screw on the switchboard and in some
way creating a circuit. The enormous
power of the shock may be judged from
the fact that until the circuits were re-
adjusted all the cars of the road were
brought to a stand still.

Levi Lincoln is Taken In BY shrewd
Sharper.
Inspector O'Day is trying to locate
man who worked one of the coolest
games ever carried through in this
city. A short time ago Levi Lincoln,
of 103 Elm street, sold a pair Of horses
to a comparative stranger. =. The pur-
chaser mentioned several prominent
business men in the city as refences,
and when the trade was finally con-
summated, rendered Mr. Lincoln
check for $500 in payment.
On presenting the check at the bank,
however, it was found that it was
valueless. Still further inquiry among
men who had been cited as references
developed the fact that the man was
an imposter. The horses had been
taken out of town meanwhile, and the
police were asked to locate them and
the purchaser.
Inspector ODay refuses to divulge
the name Of the purchaser, or what
he has made in the case Mr..
Lincoln says there is nothing known
definitely as yet, therefore there is
nothing to say. 1t was learned, how
ever, that the horses were stabbed in
Boston Monday night.
