InOUIRY INFO CHILD LABOR.
State Labor Commissioner to Make a
Careful lnvestig alton.

Carefui inveStl9atICn.
From Tuesdays Daily
w. H. Williams, state labor commits
sioner, yesterday began the perform
ance of his duties. When the newly
appointed deputies reported yesterday
morning they were immediately detailed
upon an investigation of child labor
the first subject which the new admins
tration will consider.
Every store and factory in the state
will be inspected as to conditions under
which child labor is employed and as to
whether the children employed have per-
mits from the superintendent of schools
of their districts.
The department officials intend to en-
force the laws governing the employ
ment of child labor. Children working
merely upon the signed consent of par
ents will not be permitted to hold their
positions, but will be required to return
to school or to secure permits from the
school superintendent. 1t is claimed
that there are many children working in
the state who have secured only the con-
sent of their parents.
Mr.. Williams will be aided in his eff
forts to secure the enforcement of the
child labor laws by the officials of the
department of public instruction, who
are very anxious to secure the enact
mesnt of additional legislation to make
it harder to secure employment in stores
and factories. There are at present more
than 1000 children less than sixteen
years old employed in the different in
dustrieS.

BURNED HIS FACE.
lie Sueur Center Man Has a Startling
Experience.

Joseph Turek, who is employed in a
meat market at lie Sueur Center, met
with an accident which might have re-
suited in the loss of his eyes. 1t seems
that he was in the act of starting the
gasoline engine, and it failing to work,
removed the cap from the cylinder and
held match over it for the purpose
of looking in. No sooner had he placed
the match over it, than it exploded, the
fire blazing squarely in his face. The
upper part of his face was badly burned
and his eyebrows and hair singed. His
eyes were affected, but nothing serious
is expected to result from it.

FEW NUTS TO CRACK.
Some Questions Farmers Are Invited
to Answer.


From Tuesdays Daily.
Sch. Zimmerman would like to have
the following questions asked of farm
ers and local citizens who believe in
dealing with the big catalogue houses:
When you get a catalogue from a big
mail order house, you look it over and
see what they will pay you for your
produce.
Also investigate and see how their
terms of credit are in case you don't
have the ready cash.
How much will they subscribe to-
wards keeping up the sidewalks and
streets in your town?
Ask them to donate $40 or $25 for
building hard roads on the highways and
near your city.
Go to the assessors books and see
what part of the school tax they pay in
your city.
Just write and see what they will give
to assist the poor in your community.
After you have done this, 60 to your
home merchant and get his prices and
explanation of quality.
Deduct the cost of transportation OF
the goods you are wanting to buy of the
mail order house, and see if it is not
more to your advantage to trade at
home.

This Would Make 1t Less Ex-
pensive to Brown.
No Trouble to Secure a Fair
and Impartial Jury.
Judge Cray Would Prove Excel
lent Presiding Officer.
Especial to The Free Press


New Ulm, Jan. 24-New Ulm is try
ing to get back into its normal oondi
ton. The excitement of the recent
Koch trial has subsidized somewhat, and
while there is more or less discussion of
the case, yet people do not devote so
much time to it as they did formerly.
The most important question now is,
where will the next trial be held? Also
will Koch be admitted to bail? There
is strong feeling that the trial should
take place in Mankato, as less expense
would be entailed to Brown county.
There is no question but that an impair
tial Jury could be secured in Blue Earth
county and Judge Cray would make an
excellent presiding officer.
E. G. Koch, the aged father of DR.. G..
r. Koch, who is the central figure in
the alibi of the young dentist, shows
the terrible strain the trial has upon
him and the family is fearful that the
result will be a complete collapse. Fears
are expressed that he may not survive
the second trial if it is delayed. He has
grown feeble and careworn, and, though
he endeavores to keep bright appear
ance, the crushing blow is bearing him
down, and as the days 60 by, his step
is less buoyant and his form more
stopped
MIR. Koch was born in SaXony, Ger
many, in 1888, and came to New Ulm
in 1860, intending to engage in the
fur business. In the beginning of the
enterprise his partner was killed by the
Indians and the project was abandoned.
He served the county as auditor for ten
years and has since held other county
offices. He is man admired for his
high ideals and strict sense of honesty
one of those rugged characters which
stand out in the present generation of
money getters.
DR.. Koch is cheerful in the belief that
he will soon be admitted to bail. This
belief is not shared by many who have
heard that Judge Webber is opposed to
bonds in such cases.
| A prominent attorney here says the
defense was negligent and is to be blam-
ed for making no attempt to show flaws
| IL.
which would have suggested motive
for the crime.
Crookston, Mimi, Jan. 24-Dr. George
Couverette of this city was graduated
from the Northwestern Dental school in
Chicago in the class with DR.. Koch of
New Ulm, and says:
CDR. Koch was one of the most hard
working students in our class. He was
reserved and quiet in his manner and
did not make friends rapidly. At heart,
however, we always found him whole
souled. He worked faithfully at his
studies and made an excellent record. He
rarely sought the companionship of the
gentler sex, but kept at his books al
most constantly"
'If another trial is ordered for DR..
Koch, | will resign my seat in the SEN
ate in order to devote myself entirely to
his Defence" said State Senator George
W.. Sommerville in st. Paul yesterday.
81 believe DIR. Koch is an innocent man
and | will not desert him now. / prefer
to give up my senatorial duties rather
than neglect any part of my duty as
chief counsel to the accused man."

SOME FINE SKETCHES.
Another Display at the Public Library
Rooms.

From Tuesdays Daily.
On the walls of the children's room at
the public library there are now draw
ings from the third and fourth grades
of the public schools. The children have
made these sketches with pencil, pen and
ink, and with water colors. They are
very good indeed, considering that the
children are of an average age of only
ten years. The drawings all represent
some winter scene, skating, coasting,
making snow men, and the like.

act in a like case again.

The Panama canal bill has been another casus belli between the House and the Senate. The Senate majestic ally ignored the fact that Mir. Mann of the House had presented bill which was passed and had gone tothe Senate. The latter body ordered the prepara- tion of bill of its own on the same subject by Senator Kittredge. Many members of the House are offended at this usurpation of the Senate, for here again the right belonging to the House is ignored by the Senate. The bill as passed by the House places the government of the canal zone in the hands of the President until March the fourth, 1907, or the end of the next Congress, providing that the government shall protect the inhabi- tants in their liberties. property and religion. It abolishes the old com mission and leaves the work of con struction and the appointment of the managers entirely in the hands of the President. It does not undertake to say whether there shall be a lock level or sea level canal This too, it is presumed, is left for the decision of the administration.
The Coconino sun., 1905-02-25
SATURDAY, February 25, 1905.

The Presidents message accopany-. ing the Santo Domingo protocol, it is understood, has made very favorable impression upon the Senate, and it will doubtless be well received by the country at large. The idea that the Monroe Doctrine imposes other duties upon the United States than those of mere defense from aggression as relat ing to the petty republics of this hem- isphere is so patent and so just that it need only be mentioned to be approved. It is expected that the Senate will con firm the protocol, if not at this session then at the called session immediately after the fourth of March. The ten sion between the. Senate and the Presi- dent, it is thought, has been very much exaggerated. AS has heen said of the President he does not wear his heart on his sleeve but he wears his mind on his sleeve. Anybody can know what he thinks about anything. In fact the only way they can avoid knowing it is to keep out of earshot. His words in his letter to Senator Gull lom when he sent the treaty to the Senate were: ''The Senate has, of course, the right to reject or to amend in any way it sees fit any treaty laid before it, and it is clearly the duty of the Senate to take any step which, in the best exercise of it's best judgment, it deems to be for the interest of the nation." Those words will stand forever as a refutation of the assertion that the President attempted to usurp the treaty making power.
