TO WORK CHILDREN
Many Parents Apply to School
Board for Labor Permits,

More opportunities for the employ
ment of child labor has increased the
applications to the school board for
labor permits for children under the
age of sixteen years.
The board has this year issued about
1O0 permits and refused as many more
applications. The number of permits
issued is slightly larger than that for
the same period last year, and the
whole number Of applications much
larger.
Assistant Superintendent Bond saws
that the increase in applications for
child labor permits is almost wholly
due to the fact that there are this
year larger opportunities for grasping
parents to put their children at work
Tor pittances at the sacrifice of their
education.
The board has taken cognizance of
TINS condition Of affairs and demanded
straight-laced compliance with the law.
save in exceptional cases, and as q re-
suit many hard-luck stories have been
told Prof. Bond in vain. Even in MANY
cases where the labor of the child is
necessary to the support of a family
an agreement to enroll the child in a
night school is demanded before the
permit is issued.

CONTENDS PLUMBERS
LICENSE LAW IS VOID
Argument That Ordinance Requiring
Licenses Is Special Legislation.

Judge Finehout yesterday heard ar
guments on the constitutionality Of the
plumbers license law, in the case Of
the city against Paul Chapel, nom
union plumber, charged with violating
the law.
Attorney McDermott, in behalf of the
master plumbers, pointed out that the
law in requiring licenses for all plumb
ers who work In towns Of 10000 popu-
lation or over is special legislation and
void.
AS the law has already been twice
declared unconstitutional, 1t is likely
that the case will find its way to the
supreme court.

SAYS VACCINATION
is NOT COMPULSORY
J. w. Griegs Declares Unvaccinated
Children Can Now Go to School.

]. w. Griggs, president of the Anti
Vaccination Society Of st. Paul, fears
that many citizens may not be clear as
to the effects of the new law passed
last winter relative to the vaccination
of school children.
Under the new law" said Mr.. Griggs
yesterday, vaccination has nothing to
do with the right Of child to go to
school. No child can be required by
any teacher, board or officer to be vac
cinated before being admitted to
school.
IF smallpox epidemic arises, a
slightly different situation would exist
We will cross that bridge when we get
to 1t. Unvaccinated children can now
go to school just the same as vaccinat-

Vina Bell, ColOred, Horribly
Scalded Saturday
Claims Henry Hobbs Poured Kettle of
Boiling Water on Her-Son Uses
Knife on II obbs.
A VERY FIENDIsH ASSAULT

Vina Bell, a colored woman Of 22l
South Ninth street, appeared at the
city ball this morning in a horrible
condition to procure warrant against
Henry Hobbs, colored, whom she
claims scalded her Saturday night
about 10 O'Clock.
The woman's breast is horribly
swollen and scalded. as are her lower
limbs and stomach. The left side of
the face was badly scalded also, and
the flesh in two places ready to drop
off.
The woman, in her determination to
secure a warrant against Hobbs, had
insi stedI on leaving home and riding
to police headquarters to swear it on,
and also to secure bsil for her son,
Jimmie Bell, age II, who in response
to his mothers agonizing appeal for
help when Hobbs was pouring the
scalding water on her, attacked Hobbs
aud cut him several times in the back
with pen knife.
According to the womsn's story
Hobbs has been living at her house for
more than year. Saturday night he
began to curse and swear and the wo-
man asked him to stop. Hobbs then
grabbed up kettle of boiling water
from the stove, she says, and backing
the woman into corner began pour
ing the water IN her face and down
her dress, not stopping until the son
began to cut.
The woman fell in heap, writing
in agony and Hobbs dropped the Ret
tie. The flesh is ready to drop off the
woman in more than a half dozen
places, and recovery is doubtful even
with her strong constitution.
Hobbs will be warranted today but
Judge Sanders is not able to say what
kind of warrant he will issue. The
Bell boy who did the cutting in at
tempting to defend his mother, was
warranted by Hobbs Saturday night
and is now under arrest. He will be
released ON bond however today, il is
said.
Hobbs was cut about fourteen times
in the hack, but the wounds are slight
and not serious. The knife blade was
small and could not possibly have
done great damage.
Hobbs was taken to the city hospit-
al, where he is being attended. His
wounds look as if he were hit in the
back with losd of shot, ana are not
serious. He stated to tine hospital at
PENDANTS that he was drunk when cut.
