New Delivery Wagon.

Arthur Heddens' new delivery wag.
on appeared on the streets for the first
time Saturday morning. The wagon
is the product of d. O. Hunts works.
and the decorative work was done by
Benjamin Grubb, and is credit to
his artistic skill. The virtue of the
conveyance, however. does not lie en-
tireIy IN its ornamental exterior. The
interior is a model of utility. The

LAW DOES NOT
HIT NrWSBOYS

I'LL NLHDDUlD
Newspapers can employ boys of any
age for distribution of papers to reg
ular customers.
That is the substance of an opinion
on the factory regulation law passed
by the last Legislature, which was
rendered to Chief Inspector Delaney,
at Harrisburg, yesterday by Attorney
General Carson Captain Delaney has
all along liovad that carriers were
controlled by the act.
The Attorney General holds that
employing school boys for such pur-
poses jsnot the regular" employment
sought to boz regulated by the act and
does not violate either the letter or
the spirit. His opinion applies only
to this one class OF employees.
In part Mr.. Carson says:
The facts are that the Reading
- Telegram" employs about thirty
boys, ranging in age from IL to Is
years. All of these boys attend the
public schools After they are dis
missed from school they go to the
newspaper office, obtain a bunch of
papers which are distributed by them
on their routes to subscTi bers and the
boys do not report until after school
rho FHEav fpr
service a weekly stipend averaging
$L25. They are not employed in or
about the buildiug. The time taken
to distribute the route is about an
hour day. The parents consent to
this employment Is always obtained
AMI whenever unable to attend a sub
sttute is furnished if possible.
In my Judgment, an employment by
a newspaper, under the conditions
above stated, does not violate either
the torms or the spirit of the act in
question. The employment sought to
be regulated is employment in or about
an establishment where the attendance
of the employees and the receipt of
wages by them constitutes continu-
Gus daily employment and the main
means OF support. All the provisions
look to employment within building
or an establishment which constitutes
the scene Of the physical or mental
activity of the employe
1t is mani fest that the boys are not
really employed in any building or
establishment, aud that the employ
ment is not Of a kind which confines
o. ies,sa,ns th m as employees are con-
fined or restrained in a manufacturing
or kiuGrad establishment They are
not subjected to any unsanitary con-
ditiOnS or to any dangerous conditions
resulting from confinement in a crowd
ed building. Their attendance upon
the public schools is in no way in
, tertered with, nor are their opportun-
tiles for education limited by this en-
ployment
The advantages to the boys, to the
customers of the paper and to the
newspaper company itself, which have
been dYelt upon in the argument, do
not touch tho legal aspects of the case,
aud, therefore, need not be considered.
l see nothing Ia tn, facts which lead
me to conclude that the terms of the
statute are violated by the employ
ment herein described. OF course you
understand that this opinion is confin
ed entirely TO the facts of this special
case, and that | am dealing with gen
eral propositions of the employment of
minors under the age of II. Should
any other cases arise for my considera-
tion | will deal with them when prop
erly presented.

Girl, MURDERED
BY STEP-FATHER

WILLIAMSPORT, July 25. Jim
Salerno, who is already under 81 900
bail to answer to several charges of a
serious nature at the next term of
court, added another crime, still more
serious, at an early hour this morning
when he cut his step-dauRhter
throat. She died several hours late!
at the hospital.
Salerno is the Italian who has been
creating considerable disturbance on
the South Side, recently and the step
daughter whom he murdered this
morning. is the same step-daughter
who charged him with a serious crime
and whom he, in attempting to save
himself. caused to be arrested, but she
was discharged by the Alderman.
About three weeks ago Mrs. Saler-
no and her daughter left Jim because
of the trouble and took up their resi-
dence OIL Cedar avenue.
Mrs. Salerno and her daughter, Eliz,
abeth Carney, aged ii years, occupied
a room on the second floor of the west
on an iron bed ON the east side of the
room the daughter on mattress on
the floor Oh the west side A window
situated just at the head of the daugh-
ter's bed is supposed to have furnish
ed the means of entrance to Salerno,
although there was no visible means
of his reaching 1t and it is possible
that he may have entered at tho same
window from which he escaped.
About 80 O'Clock this morning the
screams of the daughter awakened the
mother. and she saw Sllerno, raz)r
and revolver in hand, standing in the
room and the daughters throat cut al
most from ear to ear.
The frenzied mother grsppled with
Salerno aud wrenched the revolver
from him. at the same time shouting
to the other inmates of the house.
Hearing a call in a mans tones, Sal
erno rushed into the hall aud escaped
by way of a window to the north side
of the house, leaping down over shed.
The cries alarmed not only the in
mates of the house. but the entire
neighborhood and men with revolv-
ers in hand were soon searching the
neighborhood, but no trace of the
murdeFeF could ne fonnd
In the meantime the unfortunate
victim of the Italians razor, with an
ugly cash in her throat, was bleeding,
profusely. in the room in which she
was cut. Such efforts as could be made
to stop the flow of blood were made,
but without avail
Messengers rushed for medical aud
surgical assistance. bat were met with
the direction Take her to the hospit-
al, " and so, about 80 o'clock she was
taken in an ambulance to that in 4titu-
tion where she expired AT o clock
The room which the girl occupied
and the hall in front of her door re-

OF blood were everywhere, and the
cloths with which it was sought to
stop the flow of blood bore evidence
of the severity of the cut.

is about 40 years of age He is about
iive feet five inches in height, weighs
about l40 pounds, has heavy brown
moustache and dark hair.

FINDS some DEFECTS
IN State HIGHWAY

The attitude assumed by the Coun-
ty Commissio oners and the Supervisors
of Mahoning township against the set
tlement of the bill for the State High
way lately completed had the effect of
bringing the State Highway Commis-
sioner, Joseph w. Hunter. to this city
Friday The visit in effect justified
the commissioners and the township
supervisors in their opposition, as Mr.
Hunter was brought to acknowledge
that the job in certain details does
not come up to specifications ana is
imperfect
Mr.. Hunter arrived from Harrisburg
on the l0:l1 train accompanied by +.
s. Fry, civil engineer connected with
the State Highway Department. The
two men at once left for the Sta'e
Highway accompanied by County Com
missioners, Cook and Leighow, Clerk
H. G. Blue, l.. l.. White and George
HeckendOrn, Supervisors of MahOning
township aud their attorney, Hon. Il
S. zimmerman.
The party went carefully over the
road. 1t did not take very close in
spection to show that the plans and
specifications were not complied with
At places the road was deficient in the
top layer of crushed rock, the next
course of broken stone lying exposed.
At places stones nearly the size of
ones fist could easily be kicked loose
on the surface aud that notwithstaud-
ing that no stones larger than one inch
and half were supposed to enter in
to the construction of the road. The
drainage, too, had TO be acknowledged
as defective. Clerk Horace Blue was
armed with a pick which lie swung
dexterously in laying open the road
bed to show where the plans and
specifications had been departed from.
The state of affairs was quite a rev.
elation, to the State Highway Com
mission. who relying upon the report
of the Inspector thought that every
thing was satisfactory. Humiliating
as it must have been ne did not hesi-
tate to acknowledge that things were
not as they should be to comply with
the specifications and to insure a good
job He disclaimed all knowledge of
the pointed and offensive correspond
ence from the Highway Department
sustaining the inspector. and eprecia-
ting the Judgment of t. e t1wn-hip ST.

ers and the Supervisors that the mat
ter would be taken up Immediately ny

that in a few days the county would

taken. The department will see to it
that the contracting firm does its daty
in the premises.
While here Mr.. Hunter went over
the extension of the State Highway in
Valley township, the contract for
which has already been let by the
State. Mr.. Fry. the Engineer, on Mon
day Will begin the survey for the
State Highway, which will begin at
