LABOR BILLS SIGNED
Measures Affecting Children
 and New York Laws.
LIMIT OF FIFTY FOUR HOURS A WEEK
A Child Under Sixteen Years May Be Employed Only on Certificate of Health Board Showing Age
 and School Attendance.

and School Attendance.
 ALBANY, N. Y, April Ex-Governor Odell has signed the second of the i'm portant child labor bills passed by the present legislature. The first was the bill providing for the licensing of news boys in cities Of the first class. The second bill signed was the Hill-Finch bill regulating the labor of women and children in factories.
 The bill forbids the employment in or in connection with any factory in this state of any child under sixteen (the present law forbids their employ ment at all under fourteen) without a certificate issued by the health authori- ties of the city or town showing his age and that he has attended school the equivalent of 130 days in the school year.
 It limits the hours of employment of such children to fifty-four hours in any week and eight hours in any day and to the hours between 6 a. m. and D. m. The presence of children in the factory in prohibited hours is to be prima facie evidence of violation of the law.
 The hours of women are limited 10 the same hours of the day, but may be sixty hours in a week or ten hours in a day and longer only under special arrangement in order to shorten some other Workday in the week.
 The Rogers bill appropriating $50,- GOO to pay the expenses of Govern or Odell, the members of his staff and a representation from the national guard attending the dedication of the Louisiana Purchase exposition build tngs at St. Louis on April 80 and May 1 and 2 is before Governor Odeil for approval and will undoubtedly be signed.

BRIGHT SPOT IN PENNELL CASE.

f,#s t,
 more unsavory mass of apparent corruption has seldom come to the at tention of the public than has been up- turned by the investigation which has followed closely on the heels of the murder of Edwin l.. Burdiek in Buffa- 10. There seems to have been circle which involved Burdick and Arthur R. Pennell, the man whom his classmates in public letter described as of ''the highest Yale type,' in many of the same transactions and which has per sistently connected the two names and families together in powerful cycle of circumstance.
 The more that is learned of the case and the inner life of the principals in the case the worse it appears. The only person whose name has sbeen dragged into the matter who has come out without a taint or smirch was Mrs Pennell, the loyal and apparently devoted wife of man whom develop ments have shown to have been un- worthy of that love and trust New Haven may feel proud that. in spite of all the entangling lines of testimony and circumstantial evidence which has come to light in the inquests and in the subsequent developments of the private affairs of Mir Pennell. no one has attempted to drag Mrs Pencils name through the mire. This should be especially pleasing to local people, for this was Mrs Pennells home be fore her marriage 1t is almost won- derful that any one could be connected in the most remote way with a case of this sort without having the finger of blame pointed at them by those maliciously inclined. Mrs Pencils memory, however, is clean and her reputation stands out pure white against the background of so much blackness.
 While the developments in these two cases have been most sensational and have been read .,v tie public with avidity, we shall feel a measure of re- lief when the entire incident is closed, but if the assertions which have re- gently been made concerning the finan- e.aA affairs of Pennell are true there will be echoes of this now famous case for months and possibly years.
 In the meantime people are wonder ing how MT Pennell's classmates al Yale. who so spontaneously prepared for publication the effusive letter re- garding his personal character and habits may now, feel in view of the testimony which has come out con- corning the private life of this mam- Der of the class of 's7 at Yale-New Haven Palladium.

THURSDAY, APRIL IS, 1908,

President Roosevelt is edging his way back to civilization again, and pretty soon we may expect to betreat- ed to a few more of those carefully said in his Milwaukee speech: We should be false to the historic princl- ples of our government if we discrim- mated, either by legislation or admin istration, either for or against a man because of either his wealth or his poverty" Now, that sounds good, and 1t would be all right if it were "backed up by deeds;" for, as he told us last summer, words are only good when backed up by deeds" But the president belongs to a party that has enacted tariff legislation which does discriminate in favor of g few and against the man, says one writer, and which protects monopolies and trusts while they prey upon the people, and which permits them to sell goods to foreigners at 30 to 100 per cent less than Is charged here. What, then. becomes of the presidents fine phrases? What do these same trusts care for his publicity" so long as he. does not touch the tariff, which pro- tects them in their game of robbery? What do they care for his toy "bu- reau'' and it's sham restraints, if they can keep their tariff privileges?

IS DESTITUTE
MRS. klLLEN RECEIVING
AID IN AKRON.
SHE WAS RELUCTANT
At First, But Finally Ad-
mitted Her Needs.

The pathetic story OF Mrs. KILN
told through the press at Akron has
excited the sympathy of the people Of
that ity and they have been givingsher
substantial evidences of their good
will.
The story is told in the Akron Bea-
|con-Journal as follows:
"Unrequitted love" is the subject Of
a painting which hangs In many of the
parlors Of the comfortable homes Of
the city. The student of nature who
may look at the picture will have his
heart stirred IL he looks earnestly and
within himself. His imagination will
cause his heart to go out to the woman
whose love is not satisfied. The picture
is pleasant to look at.
In the parlor of the Thuma hotel sits
Ia little woman dressed in black The
pen picture that has been drawn of her
is one that has for Its subject more
than unrequitted love. The subject of
that painting is love spurned. The
woman is Mrs. Kathleen KILN. widow
OF Henry Il. KILN, the man who died
at the Thuma Thursday morning.
The story of the woman has been
told. She is destitute and sne is a
good woman. Many people with kind
hearts read of the crippled little wo-
man who loved Henry KILN, even af-
ter she knew of his baseness. Those
people also read of her being destitute
Many of them called upon her and
gave her money. She did not solicit
aid but the friends which she had
made since her arrival in the city did.
They told her It was proper that she
should be aided. A Beacon Journal
reporter called at the hotel Monday
and talked with her. The reporter al
so talked to a man from her home.
"She is good Christian woman" the
reporter was told Mrs. KILN has
since agreed to the opinion of her
friends and she is willing to be aided.
Tell the people who may see fit to
help me that I want to see them and
thank them" said the widow Of Henry
KILN.
Mrs. KILN will remain at the Thu
ma until she is able to go to her home.
The disposition of the body of KILN
is still undecided. A number of the
former fellow employees of the dead
man at the Webster, Camp & Lane
plant undertook to raise an amount
sufficient to bury the body. However,
the plan has been abandoned. Two
men from Canton, who were friends Of
KILN were in the city Monday after
noon, but they refused to say whether
or not they would take charge Of the
body. 1t is likely tnat he will be bur-
led In Potters field.

FOR $4,000
AUDITORIUM BOARD WILL
ASK FOR THAT AMOUNT.
A GRAND ARMY ROOM
For Relios Will be Fitted
Up in the Building.

The auditorium and market house
board held business meeting at the
city hall Tuesday evening at which all
members were present except Mr. Dan
nemillcr. The matter Of the $25.O00
additional funds needed for the fur
nishing and completion of the building
was taken up and considered. 1t was
decided to ask the city council to is
sue bonds for that amount and turn
the proceeds over to the board. When
the original contract was let for the
building, the furnishing and equipment
as well as the grading on the grounds
was not included. IL was known then
that an additnonal bond levy would De
necessary.
The board decided to make some
slight changes in the northwest front
room Of the building to accommodate
the Grand Army organizations of the
county. After the plans had been com
pleted and accepted, the Grand Army
posts of Canton asked that one room III
the building be turned over TO them for
relic room where all the battle Gags,
war relics, records, etc, of Stark coun-
ty military organizations could be
kert. After some consideration 1t was
decided to comply with this request,
the G. A. r. agreeing TO equip the
room after it was completed. This re-
quired some little change in the ar
rangemcnts of the room, which is TO
be made without any additional cost.
The board Is anxious 10 have the
contractors rush the work on the build
ing as rapidly as possible. The struc-
tural iron for the arches In the roof
caused some considerable delay. but it
is thought now that the work will go
on without any serious interruption
further than that caused by The Sc
verify of the weather.
The Grand Army posts Of Stark
county claim that relic room can be
equipped in the auditorium that will
prove to be attractive to visitors. as
there are all over the county numerous
relics of the great struggle that are
now held by individuals or stored
away in post rooms, that can be plac-
ed on exhibition. AS the years advance
the souvenirs of the rebellion are be-
coming more widely scattered as fam
lilies are broken up and with the pass
ing of the old soldier they could never
again be collected.
A complete roster Of all the soldiers
that ever went out from Stark county
will be compiled and many records
that should be preserved will be placed
in the relic room.

NOT A GENTLEMAN2
Here is Where Friend
ship Ceases.

Washington, d. c., Dec. 15.-The
hearings in the Leonard Wood case,
which have been conducted by the sem
ate committee on military affairs for
over a month, will be brought to an
lend tomorrow unless the protest to be
made by Senator Hanna is allowed.
1t seems certain that General Wood
will not be ordered home from the
Philippines.
Secretary Root will appear tomorrow
and submit comprehensive defense
of Wood. He will testify that General
Wood followed orders in the actions
that have been criticized.
The committee will undoubtedly
vote for confirmation. Senator Hanna
expressed confidence that he will de-
feat General Woods nomination as
major general in the senate.
Alexis s. Frye, who served as COM
missioner OF education under General
Wood, was closely cross-examined to-
day and with great difficulty controlled
his temper. He was examined as to
various matters in which he had trou-
bic with General Wood. He was asked
regarding General Woods veracity and
pronounced him unworthy of belief
under any circumstances. He showed
letters and documents and related in
cidents, repeatedly announcing that
in each case General Wood told false
hoods.
Were you honest when you wrote
that letter." asked Senator Foraker,
indicating a communication from Frye
to Wood.
Are you honest when, you ask that
question:" retorted Mr.. Frye with
warmth.
Other insinuating queries followed,
and Mr.. Frye finally intimated that it
might be necessary for him to prove
that Mr.. Foraker is not a gentleman
