REPORT OF DEPUTIES RECEIVED
Especial to .rhe Jersey city News,


TRENTON, Sept %, 1903. The op-
grafton of the new child labor law, which
took effect on September l, and the more
rigid enforcement of the laws relating to
factories and workshops was the subject
of a conference at the State House yes
terday, at which were present John O..
Ward the State Factory Inspector; John
L. Swayze, private secretary to Governor
Murphy, and Deputy Factory Inspector
William H. Dodd, of Jersey City; Heber
Wells. of Paterson; William B. Tucker.
of Elizabeth; William H. Conklin, of
Newark, and Joseph Milburn, of Trenton.
The conference lasted all day and every
phase of the factory laws was taken up
and discussed in detail.
The child labor law of last winter rails
ing the minimum age of employment for
boys from II to IA years and making it.
correspond with the minimum age at
NulCn gins might tO6dhe- cC Ooip3Of StA ~
factories was passed by the last Legisla-
ture, in response to a public outcry that
child labor was prevalent in the State
and demand for its abolition. Another
law was PASSED which in effect placed
upon the Governor the responsibility of
seeing that the factory laws were en-
forced Governor Murphy recently de-
clared himself as unalterably opposed to
child labor and ordered the strict enforce
ment of the law.
Reports were received from each of
the deputies yesteday which indicate
that in the main manufacturers are dis
posed to observe the law voluntarily or
the factory department when warned of
violations During the three weeks in
which the new law has been in force, be-
tween 80 and 200 chufdren, whose cases
have come directly to the attention of the
department, have been discharged while
the department believes that several hun
dred have been laid off without notiiea
ton In this ely alone about 100 chill
dren have been laid off in three weeks.
The failure of the new aw to make
any provisions by which oryhan children
e. H.
evoked a storm of opposition to the meas
ure. Every one of the deputy inspec-
tors reported cases in which the utmost
hardships had been worked by the aboli-
tion of the orphans certificate. The new
law prohibits orphans from being EN-
ployed in factories, but fails to make
any other provision for their support, and
the department itself is powerless to
render any assistance.
The glassblowing industries of South
jersey, which were charged with the
most hagrant violations Of the law, have
been kept under surveillance by the de-
partment, but as the industry will not
be at its busiest for about another month,
it is understood that the violations here
tofore complained of have not been given
an opportunity to develop this season.
Mr.. Ward said after the conference
that he was generally satisfied with what

Wakeful Children.

For a long time the two year old child of Mir. P. L. McPherson, 59 N. Tenth St., Harrisburg, Pa., would sleep but two or three hours in the early part of the night, which made it very hard for her parents. Her mother concluded that the child had stomach trouble, and gave her half of one of Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets, which quieted her stomach and she slept the whole night thru. Two boxes of these Tablets have effected a permanent cure and she is now well and strong. For sale by F. J. Wattron.

Colds are Dangerous.

How often you hear it remark ed: "Its only a cold" and a few days later learn that the man is on his back with pneumonia. This is such common occur renee that a cold, however slight, should not be diregarded.

"FATHER" OF THE NAVY.
A Question Before the House Com
mittee ON tho Library.

The committee on the library Of the
House Of Representatives may be called
upon to decide as to just who was the
father or founder of the American navy.
Tuesday Representative Currier Of New
Hampshire introduced bill in the House
providing an appropriation for the erection
of statue In this city Of John Paul Jones.
who was referred to in the text of the
measure as 1.-The founder of the American
navy" The bill was referred to the COM
mittee on the library.
Yesterday q bill was introduced in the
House by Representative Driscoll of New
York, appropriating $4,000 for the erection
in this city of monument to the memory
of Commodore John Barry, upon which
shall be inscribed the words:
Erected to the memory of John Barry,
father Of the American navy"
Following the course OF the John Paul
Jones bill this measure was also referred
to the committee on the library. Much In
terest is being manifested in the probable
action Of the committee. Some claim that
the terms founder" and father" are in
compatible, while others declare them to
be synonymous.

A MAMMAL TAXIDERMIST.
Examination to Be Held for Benefit OF
the National Museum.

The civil service commission Is preparing
plans and specifications for an examination
of a man, or any number of men. who can
stuff rats, mice or chipmunks They are to
be stuffed and mounted, and the person
who is being examined must do the stufting
in three working days of eight hours each,
In the presence of an examiner. The call
for the rat suffer has not yet been sent
out, but 1t will be prepared within the next
two or three days, and will then be scat
tered broadcast all over the country. He is
required by the terms of the examination
to supply his own tools and mounts for the
stuffed animals and box to ship them to
the civil service commission, but the COM
mission will furnish the animals. Already
the fiat has gone FORTH and the official rat,
mouse and chipmunk catcherS are securing
the country and the city to obtain the
specimens to be used.
Commissioners Green and Proctor are in
terested in the quest, and it is rumored
that as fine collection of dead rodents is
being made for the commission, under the
personal direction of the commissioners
mentioned, as will be found anywhere in
the country.
The cause Of this scientific research is a
request from the National Museum for the
eligible list of mammal taxidermists-a tax
idermist who can stuff rat or mouse or
q chipmunk. 1t Is believed to require ex-
pert care and knowledge to properly stuff
one of these little animals, and as none
of the experienced hands at the commission
desired to desert their present posts It was
necessary to issue call to the country at
large. so that a patriotic rat suffer might
be found to take the job. The examination
is to be held some time this month or next
and the man who Is certified to the museum
berless mammals at the salary Of $500 per
annum
