State Factory Inspector Looking
for Information in Regard to
the italian Boys
PADR0NE SYSTEM IN EVIDENCE
Inspector However Has Not as Yet Been
Able to Geta Line on the Boys and
Will Continue His Work
Later in the Year

Deputy State Factory Inspector
David Evans is still working about
Kenosha seeking to secure further
light on the employment Of Italian
boys in the factories Of the city, and
if possible to ferret out the source of
these boys and the men who have
brought them to this country to work.
Thus far Inspector Evans has made
many interesting discoveries in re-
gard to the child laborers employed
in the city, and added to these facts
he has learned considerable about the
housing Of foreigners in Kenosha.
| 1t seems that there are some thing S
for the investigation of the health
officer, as it is claimed that foreign
laborers are herding together in GER
tain districts of the city and in some
| cases from eight to ten are living in
single rooms. This matter will prob
ably be laid before the health officers
after the factory inspector completes
his work of investigation.
1t has been repeatedly asserted that
Italian boys were being imported to
| work IN Kenosha factories under a
| padrone system, and the wages earned
by these boys is alleged to have been
taken weekly by the older Italians
who were responsible for their com
| ing to Kenosha.
Inspector Evans states that he is not
| willing at this time to state that there
is regular padrone system in Keno
sha, but that he has found many
things which seem to indicate that
such is the fact. He has not, how
ever, been able to locate the living
quarters Of any considerable number
of these boys, and in smost cases he
has found only two or three of them
living in house. 1t was alleged that
dozens of them we're being cared for
by one person, but if such is the case
the boys have been carefully shifted
the city in order to prevent the in
| spector from getting line on them.
In investigating this case Mr.. Evans
has given up whole days to watching
| Italian homes, but the Italians are
wide awake and they are we'll ac-
quainted with the inspector so that he
has been badly handicapped in his
work. Evans has stopped several of
these boys from working in the fac
tories on account of the fact that they
could not give satisfactory evidence
of their age and right to accept such
work.
In the future these boys to secure
permits will be forced to present pass
ports to the county judge, and it is
| thought that with these restrictions
the officials will be able to get line
not only on the age of the boys but on
the former pareutage as we'll.
The inspector has given more time
to Kenosha than to any other city in
the district save Racine, his home
town, and he is deeply interested in
conditions here. Should the next
Legislature make an appropriation for
this work he thinks that it will be
a comparatively easy matter to regu-
late conditions in Kenosha so that
the state law will be carried out to
| the letter.

Senator Ankeny Gets Wise.

The members Of the United States
Senate are enjoying joke on two of
their members. Mr.. Ankeny of Wash
and Mr.. Knox of Pennsylvania are both
members of the committees on isthmian
canals and are regular attendants at
the daily sessions Mr.. Ankney has
had no part in the investigations that
are nnw going on. He sits quietly in
seat and il. supposed to be very much
interested in the proceeding, while Mr.
Knox has been i'd the inquiry and has
taken more active part than any other
member except Mr.. Morgan. He has
eross-examined nearly all the witnesses
The other day, after the adjournment
OF the committee, Mr.. Ankney came
down to the senate chamber and
dropped into seat beside MrFlint of
Cal. and remarked that the proceeding
in the isthmian committee had been
very interesting that morning.
"The committee had young lawyer
down there to assist In the investiga
ion," he said, "who is one of the bright
est men ever saw, and he should make
his mark at the bar. I wish you could
hear him cross-examine witness. He
simply turns man inside out.'
"What's his name?" asked Senator
Flint.
II don't know" replied Senator An
keny. "He's boyish-lookidg fellow,
short of stature, with smooth, round
face and fresh complexion and wears
eyeglasses. have seen him around
here several times but never met him
and don't know his name. I predict
that he'll make his mark in the world.
There he stands now" said he abruptly
pointing to a gentleman in the rear of
of the desks.
| "Gosh-a -beeswaxw exclaimed the
senator from California, "do you mean
to tell me you don't know who tnat
| is?''
"That's the young lawyer / was tell
ing you about, but l don't know his
name," replied Senator Ankeny.
''Ill introduce you to him; that's
Philander Z Knox, formerly Attorney
General Of the United States and now
senator from Pennsylvania" said Sem
ator Flint laughing, but when he told
| the incident in the cloakroom an hour
or two later somebody suggested that
the Joke was on Mr.. Kuox rather than
on Mr.. Ankeny.

From Maitland's description of the

to make the removal, but he has not
yet obtained the governments consent
Maitland has served his country
faithfully, both as soldier and civilian,
and he thinks he should receive some
consideration from it. 1t was through
his services as a soldier that he found
his sweetheart.
He was a volunteer in the Spanish
war in the Second Illinois regiment,
and at Chattanooga met Frank Powell,
who was in an Ohio regiment.
The two shook hands first because
both were Masons in a strange land.
Then they became chums, and when
the war was over Jesse visited Frank
at Cleveland and met Maud Ever
since that time the Chicago soldier has
been trying to get Maud to marry him.
The girl consented two years ago, and
they have been at the government for
the transfer of service that would per-
nit them to be happy ever since.

sentiment, has shown all willingness to
help the sweethearts out. Recently the

land has served an ultimatum on the
United States government. He gave
notice to the postoffice department that
if 1t does not transfer him from Chi
cago to Cleveland by September 1, so
that he may marry the girl of his
heart, he will refuse to draw his salary
as a postal clerk after that date.
In Maitlands ultimatum was the
statement that he is going to marry
the girl anyhow, whether the govern
ment is kind or not What he hopes is
that he may get the girl and keep the
job.
BY keeping himself in government
job Maitland has kept himself out Of
a honeymoon for the last two years.
He declares himself for the honeymoon
if he can't have both.
The difficulty in the Maitland case is
that the girl is in Cleveland and the
job is in Chicago. He is a senior clerk
in the postal service, in charge of the

The girl is Miss Maud Powell, an art
teacher in the Cleveland public schools

THE OLD DAYS

Good old times are an illusion and a
snare, and the man who sighs for them
has little conception of what they were.
Return to them, would you? Then rise
on a cold morning and wash at the
pump, pull on a pair OF rawrlde boots
that rival tin can In stiffness, pull on
woollen shirt over your three-legged
stool dancing around on a split-sla b
floor, eat corn pone and bacon for a
steady diet and labor fourteen hours
out of twenty-four. Go without daily
paper, a fly screen, a mosquito bar, a
spring mattress, kerosene lamp, gee
haw your oxen to market and sit on the
floor of an OK cart as you wend your
way to church or a frolic. Parch corn
and peas for coffee and sassafras for
tea. and see how you like it.-San An
