Louisville. Dec. 14.-That raw
spirits kept two weeks or less in

ternal revenue laws permit a distiller
to put neutral spirits IN charred bar

"How long is the spirit kept in
charred barrels!"
From ten days to two weeks.
The government allows the distillers
to call this product whisky There

that 1t is filled."

Three Kinds Of Whisky.
With the departure of the United
States commission on the Purity of
Food for Frankfort last evening. the
sessions which have ocsHp.al the last
five dayr came to az cad.
: No direct sta. ement as to the prob
able ruling. OF the commission on the
subject Of WHISTLES. straight, recti-
fed or blended, could be obtained.
but from the. general trend of the
discussions among the members it
seems entirely justifable to assume
that the commission will recommend
to the secretary of agriculture that
whisky be designated in the future
under tnree@heads. These classifica-
tions win probably be whisky, ="
offended Whisky and Neutral
Spirits and whisky" The latter term
viii apply to the goods turned out
by the rectifsrs.
The matter of preparing the final
definitions for the whisky classified
lions will not be taken until after
the Christmas holidays.

Child Labor in South Becomes
Serious Menace.
Factory Life In England Shown Up
When General Enlistment Was
Called For.
ORGANIZATION Is COMPLETED.

Louisville, Dec. 14.--At the meet
ing of the Kentucky Child Labor
association the principal address was
delivered by DR.. A. J. McKelway, of
Atlanta, assistant secretary OF the
National Child Labor committee. with
especial supervision of the southern
work. So,
''Child labor and race degeneracy
are one and inseparable.' said the
speaker, and proved It so by innum-
cradle instances and statistics.
Through the south not less than Co.,
600 children under fourteen years Of
age are employed in the cotton mills,
and frequently parents subsist on the
wages of their children, he said.
The ranks of paupers. criminals and
anarchists are recruited from these
children. embittered by early labor.
Education is wholly precluded. and
the stamina OF the race is destroyed
by close confinement and impure air
Serious throat affections are prevail
ent among those who work in cot
ton mills, and the factory child has
become type all too common in the
south-anemic children of stunted
growth-grown old before the age of
fifteen.

to early confinement in mills and fac

said, are now free from this reproaoh.

Child Labor Bill.

A bill is before the present session
of congress which II passed will do
more toward discriminating child la
Dor than any previous enactment. 1t
Is presented by Senator Beveridge.
and provides that no common carrier
Of interstate commerce shall carry
products of any factory or mill where
children under fourteen years Of age
are employed. Further, that the
heads or management of corporations
or factories shall make affidavit every
six months as to whether children I'M
der fourteen have been or are employ
ed by them. The bill also provides
penalties Of fine or Imprisonment, or
both.
Senator Beverage Is making the
fight of his life for this bill and al
though the opposition pronounces It
Unconstitutional he is hopeful of Sc
curing its passage.
The statutes bearing on this subject
as they now exist in most states are
weakened by clauses such as that in
the Kentucky code. that no child UNI
der fourteen shall be employed in any
min or factory unless he is without
means OF support" or unless II be
in the handling of fruit, or stemming
Of tobacco Even this law as II
stands in many states is not enforced.
since there is, in most cases, no fac
tory inspection or deliberate sup
preston of facts.
The afiidavits of parents as to the
age of children is insufficient restric-
ton, and parents frequently perjure
themselves to put their children to
work. r
II was recommended that teachers
principals or school trustees be re.
quested to make AFFIDAVIT, as a child's
age is usually registered in some
school district, and further recon-
mended that the age limit of Hitter
acy be raised two years. making It

Compromise Allowable.

cit must at least be conceded that
the claim Of DR.. Force to fture earn
ings under the contract was one which
might in good faith be- compromised
or committed. Furthermore, this de-
PENDANT had nothing whatever to do
with the making Of: the contract Of
1895, or it's ratification in 1896. He
never, in fact, became. a director Of
the corporation until February, 1901.
And it appears and is not disputed, that
in 1901, Mr.. Bechtel became president
of the corporation, and as such assumed
the management of it's business. So
that in January, 1908, there were in
effect two managers, each drawing a
salary; as there was also an actuary
who was willing to perform the duties
of superintendent of agencies, altho at
the time Mr.. Campbell was drawing a
salary Of 5000 a month under contract
which in terms was continuous Tor q:
nineteen years. Under these condi-
tions on Jan. 90, 1903, the board Of
directors Of this corporation, Of which,
as stated. the defendant was one, voted
to ratify the Communication contract with
DIR. Force, whereby the agreement with
Dr. Force Of 1895 was annuelled, and
whereby in consideration Of such an
nulment the corporation was to pay ".
Force something less than $34,OOO;
which was less than one-half the amount
which would have been his due for an:
nual salaries as provided 70 rim the
contract Of 1895, during the seven
wears Of it's unexpired term.
cit seems self-evident that there is
scarcely any basis whatever for the
claim that the defendant in introduce
ING or voting for this resolution com
mitted any crime whatever. There Is
no evidence whatever in the case that
he had at the time notice Of any facts
concerning the making of the contract
or concerning any modification thereof
or any payments made thereon which
would show that the communication was
not advantageous to the corporation
There is no evidence Of bad faith o.
any attempt to deprive or defraud the
corporation of its money. Neither al
/. attorney nor director Of corpora
ton can be made a party to an alleged
| criminal conspiracy except there be
some substantial evidence indicating
that he is a party thereto. Mere sus
