Waterbury evening Democrat., 1907-02-27

There is now little appropriation of $50,000. but of very great interest to everyone held up in congress, says a Washington writer. It is to enable the interstate commerce commission to make practical tests of railway signals and safety devices in general with a view to recommending their adoption by the railroads. The com mission has never before had any money to experiment. with in this way, but the increasing frequency of railroad collisions and the attendant loss of life and property has made it almost imperative that something should be done in this line. The chances are that the appropriation will be defeated at the present ses- sion, but there is hope that it will pass in the next congress, and in ventors of safety appliances will have a chance to get their systems of pro- lection tested free and given the stamp of government approval if they prove worthy.

In spite of the opposition of the big

In spite of the opposition of the big manufacturing interests, the child labor problem is going to be investi- gated, says our Washington cor respondent. The committee on ju- dietary of the house reported adverse ly, very adversely, on Senator Bev- eridge's bill proposing to control the products of child labor through the interstate commerce act. But the president had made up his mind that If there were close to 100000 child bread winners in this country, many, if not most of them, employed in un- sanitary work, it was a matter that ought to be investigated. So he di- rected that the investigation proceed, and now there has come another hitch over the matter. Representa- tive TawDey of the house committee on appropriations wanting to put the labor on the census bureau, and the president claiming that it naturally comes within the province of the coni- missioner of labor. It would not seem at first sight that there could be very much question about this, but there is reason behind the de- mand of the house. It So happens that both census bureau and the labor commission are under the depart nent of commerce and labor. and on an appeal being made to Secretary Strauss of the department of com- rrerce and labor. he naturally agreed with the president that the eommis- sioner of labor was the man who ought to do the work. The matter ' as even submitted to Director North ef the census bureau. and he said that while he had the machinery for doing the work it was a matter that naturally belonged to the oommis- sioner of labor. and he hoped Neill would be assigned to the work
 Charles P. Neill is the man. by the way. who fin company with James B. Reynolds did the original inquiry in Chicago that stirred up all the trou- ble over the Packingtown situation He is a young man, very quiet, but one of the sort that does things. and he -- a friend of the president, which counts for good deal in the reliance ths' Ir Roosevelt will put on his re- port So it is likely that after all MT NeiII Eill have the job looking into the child labor situation. and
 there is not the least question that after he has made a report on it there

England is also finding fault with the men who represent it in other countries. Recently the president of the board of trade, MT Lloyd George, said one of the things which he thought the government could do to improve British commerce was to strengthen the intelligence depart ment of the board of trade, and thus discover the reason of the success or failure of other countries. With this object all British consuls sent abroad in the future would first have to pass through the intelligence department. There had also been complaints in the past that the information con- tained in consular reports was of no use by the time it was published. In the future, information would be promptly wired to chambers of con- merce and others interested as soon as it was received.

HEARD IN PASSING.

Not billion but almost two bill lion congress is the one now in its hurried closing hours. At it's first session it appropriated for the fiscal year ending in June, $S8O,183,301. At the beginning of the present ses- sion estimates were sent in for ap- propriations for 1908 amounting to SSOO,0O0,000 in round figures. Since then there have been submitted addi- tional estimates which bring the total up to $92S,000. .000.--Bridge- port Farmer.
 Two shame-faced boys of about IS years of age were forced to recite in the county court of Golden, Cal, how they had stolen the communion wine from a church and drank until at least one became intoxicated. Find ing the door of Calvary church open, curiosity led them to investigate the interior, and soon they came across two bottles of wine. They drank freely of it, one later becoming so ill he was unable to get around next day. Judge Mccall let the lads off with a severe lecture.-Exchange.
 The decapitation of Healy has given the state the tonic it has so badly needed for full generation. It has given us measure of the kind of usefulness men indulge in, whose only visible means of support is de- pendence upon the public crib in some one form or other. It is not now as necessary as it was to grope about for confirmation of Capitol ru- mors. The Healy incident has given us line upon the whole crew of pro- fessional politicians.-New Haven Register.
 In these days of severe trial and humiliation, sympathy for the family of Treasurer Walker should not be withheld. Their suffering must be keen, and their sense of loss irrepara- ble. Any experiences which he may be undergoing, and any punishment which may be meted out to him upon arrest, can be as nothing compared to what they must endure now and for a long time to come because of his having fallen. They are in no way responsible for his act, but in every way deserving of the kindly word, the friendly hand and the sympathy which tends to tighten burdens and which counts for Christianity.-American Sentinel.

Tried to Blow Up Nicholaievitch.

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 27.-Anoth- CT plot upon the life of Grand Duke Nicholas Nicholaieyitch. president of the council of national defense and second cousin of Emperor Nicholas, has been foiled. This plot was discovered shortly before the time scheduled for the arrival of the imperial train bring ing the grand duke from Tsarskoe- Selo. A guard patrolling the track near the station saw a man dressed as a workman in the act of placing wood en box in the middle of the track at a point 200 yards from the Imperial pa- vilion. Aided by the darkness, the plotter escaped. The box on the track was found to contain an internal ma chine of enormous power.

tion of the company with such large capital stock. The Lewisohns have never been stock jobbers, so it is in- ferred that the officials of the syndicate are thoroughly assured that they have sufficient to warrant the large capital. ization of the newly formed company.
 Thus far all development work has been done with a hoisting plant consist. ing of two gasoline engines, but Mir. Wright has called for bids from the machinery houses for complete surface plant consisting of 250.horsepower hoist, air compressor and drills and pumps and upon the arrival and install ation of the plant the force of miners employed will be considerably augment ed. The shaft is now 570 feet deep Until recently a force of about 60 men have been employed, but owing to a heavy flow of water and the absence of pumps, the force was cut down to half that number. Local mining men who have been quietly watching devel opments at the Red'Springs believe that within a comparatively short time the Lewisohn syndicate will be, with the exception of the Old Dominion, the largest employers of labor in the dis trict.
Daily Arizona silver belt., 1907-12-15

An event which has been looked for ward to with considerable interest in local mining circles for the last half year has transpired. Last week the Miami Copper company was organized under the laws of the state of Delaware by the well known New York firm of Guggenheim, Untermeycr & Marshall, with a capital stock of $3,000,OOO, di- yiIcd into 100000 shares of the par value of $5 each. The name of the company will not be familiar one to Globe people or those in other mining ccnters, but there is little doubt that it will be more than well known one in the course of few months. The law firm mentioned is counsel for the Lcwisohn interests, or most strictly sycaking of the General Development company of which Adolph Lewisohn is the president and J. Parke Charming, one of the most noted mining engineers in the country, is the guiding spirit.
 The Miami Copper company has taken over the options to various mining properties in the Globe district known as the hlsdorf properties, and Louis A. Wright. consulting engineer of the com pauy, and T. l.. Hermann of the law firm mentioned, spent the greater part of last week in Globe making the pay ments on the properties, which matured on December 8, last. J. B. Newman and Philip Oates, the original own CTS of the principal claims acquired by the company, were the principal benef, ciaries of the payment, which was the second one made by the company.
 The company started work in the Globe district a year ago this week, and although little publicity has been given the operations of the company, re- markable development record was made by MT. Wright and r. C. Alsdorf, the local agent of the company. Approx imstely 4,O0O feet of development work has been done, three levels have been opened up on the Red Spring claim, but as to details of the amount of ore in sight the representatives have never made anything public. It is known, however, that the company has either developed real mine, or developments up to the present time, indicate that there is mine there. hence the forma-
