OAKLAND. May s.-The preliminary

uels to-day. Mrs. Lawrence alleges
that on February IA last. at their homo

behind her and struck her across the
face with manicure knife. The mark
OF the weapon still shows on Mrs.
Lawrenoe's face in livid scar. which
crosses her right cheek and which will
mark her for life.
Lawrence was defended by Attorney
A. L. Frick, who questioned Mrs. Law
renee closely but was unable to shake
her story. She said her husband had
attacked her from behind and had cut
her before she knew he had knife.
The wife's testimony was corroborated
by that of William James, who was in
the house at the time.
At the conclusion of James testi-
mony the case was continued until Sat-
urday. May 13, at the request of the
defense. Lawrence's bond was reduced
this afternoon from $4,000 to $4,000, which
he promptly furnished and was re-
leased.

MOTHERS APPEAL VAIN
Courts Unable to Grant Per-
mits for Young to Work
While Parents Are Able

OAKLAND, May 6.-The distressing
side Of the new child labor law passed
by the recent Legislature is being seen
through the appeals Of parents to the
Juvenile Court for permission to al
low their little ones to work. Judge
Waste had to send a mother away IN
tears this morning who was being
helped to take care of herself and
three children by her eldest boy, 13
years Of age.
The only ground upon which we are
permitted to allow a child to work is
in the case of a parents inability to
work, he said. II am not sure that
this measure was given due considera-
ton when it was passed, for I believe
that we should have been given more
latitude in the natter
On the other hand, it is hoped that
as soon as these first cases adjust
themselves to the new circumstances
The persons affected will find that they
get along as well as they did before
the law was passed. Judge W. E.
Greene, In speaking about the law,
said:
No matter how distressing the case,
l cannot violate my oath Of Office and
overstep the bound. If a woman is
able to work, no matter how many
children she has to help her, she must
work rather than they. This is the.
law. l believe the law is a benefit to
thousands, and the cases we see are
the worst"
