PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT RE.
DUKES CORPORATE GREED

Il am glad 10 have you give the
widest publicity to my previous utter
ances on child labor" President Rose
welt told the editor of the Woman's
Home Companion when he was asked
for an authoritative statement outlin'
ing his attitude on child labor reform
The Presidents statement which bears
his signature appears in the January
number of the Woman's Home Com
panion and contains this ringing dec
laration:
Il am pleased to go on record in the
strongest possible terms as in favor OF
stringent legislation by both state and
national legislatures. for the purpose
of doing away with the evils of Child
Labor. ] believe that the recent ac-
ton of the Legislature of Georgia, a
state which leads the New South In
dustrially. in placing on its statute
books a child labor law which con-
templates the gradual adoption of a
standard approximsung that OF the
best legislation either north or south,
makes it now incumbent on Congress
to provide an adequate Child Labor
Law for the District of Columbia and
the territories. With the single ex-
ception of Nevada the District OF
Columbia and the territories are the
only American communities which
have no legislation at all on this sub
iect. Suitable action by Congress for
the area over which 1t has exclusive
jurisdiction will speedily bring those
states where protection for children
is inadequate or merely nominal to
Of their, duty to improve
their legislation and to render its en-
forcement"

LONG, DREADFUL
IMPRISONMENT
Finally Ends for L. 3. Hicks, the Man
Ent0mbed by cave-ln a Tunnel
Near Bakersfield, CAL, His Rescue
Being Marvellous.


BAKERSFIELD. Cal. Dec. 23.-L
B. Hicks, the miner who was en-
tombed by a cave-in In the tunnel Of
the Edison Electric Power Company
Dec. Z. was rescued at 11:25 O'Clock
last night.
Hicks was entombed alive under six
ty feet of debris seventeen miles north
of this city. Five of his fellow work
men were buried at the same time by
the cavern of thousands of tons Of
earth and rock. The men had just
begun work In the tunnel, which Is
being built to aid in generating electric
power from the waters of the Kern
River, when, without warning, the per-
pendicular walls of the shaft above
them collapsed. No immediate help
could be rendered. but the work of
recovering the bodies was Immediately
begun and prosecuted with vigor. but,
owing to the yielding nature of the
soil, slow progress was made. Hope
of rescuing any of the victims had
been abandoned when, three days af-
ter the disaster, the sound OF tap.
ping on water pipes In the shaft was
heard. Intantly rescue party was
sent to investigate, and the answer
ing taps plainly proved that at least
one of the imprisoned miners was
alive. The water pipe was cleared
nd communication established through
it with the man at the bottom of the
shaft He proved to be Hicks, for
mer soldier, and an expert miner,
whose life had been saved by a steel
car under which he was p:nioasd. His
five companions were dead.
Fearing dislodged debris from the
shaft might result fatally for Hicks, |
the rescue party began working on
the north side, and the work did not
cease day or night. Hicks began toll
talk through the pipe, and soon
showed signs Of renewed vigor. He
said that during the three days pre-
vious to his discovery he had sub.
sisted on plug Of chewing tobacco.
During his imprisonment IN closely
cramped quarters he was kept we'll

miners was discernibie above.

Attorney Bristol on the third floor Of
the post Office building have been made
recently according to information which
became public today.
The first two times, on which there
was an entrance, the desk of special
Inspector Neuhausen was ransacked.
The third effort was thwarted by Bris-
tol himself. who having occasion to go
to his office one evening discovered a
man picking the lock in his Office door.
Bristol undertook to capture the fellow,
but the burglar succeeded in escaping
after leaving his coat sleeve in Bristofs
hands.
That the burglaries were committed in
behalf of persons connected with the
government land fraud prosecutions is
evident from the fact that papers bear
ing on this subject were carefully segre,
gated, and it is also evident from the
manner in which the papers were left
that they had been carefully read The
documents in the desk have been check

ascertained none were stolen. In whose

that labor conditions on the Isthmus are
very different from those in America.
He stated there was great difficulty
in securing any labor at all. White
laborers would not go there and they
are using the only labor they could
get, negroes from the West Indies. To
grant the demand would greatly hamp-
er the work. Regarding Chinese ex-
clusion the president stated he was un-
questionably opposed to the admission
of coolie labor, skilled or unskilled, but
would do all that is possible to secure
the easy admission of the Chinese busi-
ness and professional classes, students
and travellers. He asserted there is no
appreciable influx of Chinese laborers
and that there is not the slightest dan
ger Of any. Earlier in;Ehe day the dele
cation called on Speaker Cannon and

REPORTS FAVORABLE
Assembly Committee Favors Nul-
lifyins insurance Proxies.
Bill Which Will be Reported Will Legis-
late Out of Office Directors and
Trustees of Mutual and
Nullify Proxies.

ALBANY, March 2l.-The assembly
committee on insurance in executive
session tonight voted to report favor
ably tomorrow with amendments, bill
introduced by the Joint investigating
committee which should legislate out
of office on November 18th next all
directors and trustees of the Mutual
Life Insurance companies and nullify all
proxies hitherto secured by the com
panies themselves, by Thomas w,
lawson or by any person or committee.
The most important amendment pro
yides that no proxy executed prior to
September 18th next will be valid or
can be voted at the next election, which
the bill sets for November 18th.
1t is said upon reliable authority the
reason for pushing this particular bill is
the fact that the election of the trus-
tees of the New York Life would take
place April nth, and it is the desire of
the committee that there be no ques-
tion that this election he among those
postponed by the act,
