NEW YORK, Sept. 2.-Five new laws
went into effect in this city and State
today. They are:
1. A provision for the regulation of
child labor, the chief feature of which
is the limitation of the age at which
children may engage in the sale of news
papers.
2. a measure providing for better sani-
tary regulations in barber shops.
3. measure providing that no labor
union shall discriminate against any
member who is a member of the National
Guard
4. A measure to prevent the unau-
thorized use of anyone's picture or pho
tograph for advertising purposes.
3. a measure prohibiting the use of
the United States flag for purposes of
advertising
Child Labor Law Important.
OF these new laws perhaps the one at
tracing the widest attention is that
dealing with child labor. 1t created no
end of trouble right at the outset. The
newsboys are not disposed to obey ii
strictly because it will have the effect
of putting many of them out of business.
The authorities found late yesterday
that they could not tag the youngsters
fast enough, so it was decided at the
last minute TO suspend the operation of
the law until next Monday.
The law prohibits all boys less than
ten years of age from selling papers.
and compels those over ten and under
fourteen to wear badges issued by the
city. Even those who are fourteen may
not sell papers after 10 o'clock at night.
The law also applies to girls. and it is
estimated that 1000 youngsters will be
compelled to stop selling papers.
Badges were issued yesterday to about
1000 small boys and girls. and the au-
thorities found they had more than they
could attend to. There are at least 5000
more who will wear the city's tags.
BARRIERS are fighting the enforcement
of the sanitary law affecting them. par

a loaded revolver fourished by Page

trick not been discovered. Now he is
manacled and in close confinement.
It was at 1890 o'clock last evening
that several members Of the Rae fam
lily heard a noise in a back roorI. Young
Rae went into the hall TO investigate
and when he saw the door standing
open toward the back yard he at once
concluded that a burglar had been in
the house and had already escaped.
He called other members of the fam
lily. when suddenly the door Of the
bathroom, short distance down the
hail. was flung open.
Out jumped stranger and il took
him but a couple of leaps TO make the
rear door. In one hand he held a re-
vOlver and he pulled this Up as if
ready TO shoot, in warning for young
Rae to get out OF the way. But the
latter jumped on the burglar as he
sought 10 dash past and in a moment
the two were rolling on rhe floor.
Rae's father rushed TO his sons as
sistance and soon they had the des-
perado securely held and had taken
away his weapon. Another member Of
the family summoned an officer and
twenty minutes later the burglar was
securely lodged in Jail.
