WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator Bever-
i,lge today resumed his speech in behalf
of the measure prohibiting interstate
commerce in articles which are the pro-
duction of child labor. Mr. Beveridge
stated that three-fourths of the cotton
factories of the South We're opposing the
bill, that the railroads of the South were
orposing it ard that the coal mine opcr-
ators of the South were opposing it. He
presented an illustrative map showing
the location of the opposing industries,
and said he should devote the major
portion of his speech to setting forth evil
dence of these deplorable conditions This
evidence. he said. was all sworn to and
in the form of aftdavits.
When Mr.. Beveridge stated that the re-
Gently eracted child labor law of Georgia
was 's dead letter. Mr.. Bacon took is
sue with him. Beveridge asserted there
had been filed 500 applications for per-
mts for child labor under the law, all
of which had been granted.
Mr.. Bacon explained that the law pro-
hibited children under II years of age
working after Jan. l. 1908.

there is not an inspector in the state and
no means of enforcing that provision.
What good is a measure of that kind?'
Senator Tillman acknowledged the very
great evil of child labor in his state and
asked Mr.. Beveridge to submit all the
evidence possible that it might be used
in a crusade for state legislation. Add
ing 10 the difficulty in his state, he said,

down there, invested his money in cot

Summoned in Case.

New York, Jan. 2S.-The jury which,

evening nine men had been chosen, one

vas expected that the taking of testi-
,oony would be begun late Wednes-
day.
FIFTY talesmen were examined today
and so rapidly were the remaining
members Of the special panel disposed
os at the morning session that at noon
recess orders were hurried from the

tional 100 men who will report before
Justice Fitzgerald tomorrow. This will
make a total Of 300 men thus far sum-
moned. OF the original panel there re-
manned tonight but 35 and it was not
considered that this number would be
sufficient out of which to select the
three jurynen necessary to make up
the trial complement of II.
OF the 80 men examined today 40
were excused upon doctors certificates
upon the ground that they had formed
opinions. which were too strong to be
staken by the testimony, because they
knew Stanford White, or some i'm
portant witness in the case, and for
various other reasons sufficient to in
capacitate a man for service in cases
where the penalty may be death.
Five talesInen were challenged peremp-
torily, the state leading il the exercise
Of this privilege with three challenges.
The defence used its right in two in
stances
The two men of the 50 which proved
acceptable were Charles d. Newton, 4 re-
tired railroad official, who is perhaps g.

more than 50 years of age. Mr.. Newton

Pittsburg, Pa, Jan. 2S-A murder
trial. the outcome of which will estab-
lish an important precedent in legal
and military circles. was called here
today in the criminal branch of court.
Lieutenant Ralph w. Drury and Pri-
vate John Dowd of the 9th United
States Infantry We're placed on trial,
charged with the murder Of William
Crowley, Is years old, who, on Sept.
10, 1908. was killed near the United
States arsenal by Private Dowd. acting
under instructions from Lieut.. Drury.
Crowley and q numbe: of boys are
said to have been caught stealing in
side the arsenal grounds. Were pursued
by soldiers and Crowley was shot after
he had gotten a considerable distance
outside the arsenal limits.
The question at issue is:
HAS a United States soldier the au-
thOrity to kill a man outside of gov
ernmcnt property, who is suspected of
crime within government property?"
Before he died Crowley denied he
was inside the arsenal but claimed in
stead that he was sitting on a door
step, became frightened at the sight of
the on-rushing soldiers and he ran. He
said he heard a command to halt, that
he did halt. but was instantly shot.
For days following the shooting the
civil and military authorities had fire.
qUcnt clashes.
The police officials and coroner in
sisted that as the shooting occurred
outside the government property the
prisoner belonged to them. Lieut..
Drury took different view Of the mat
ter. however. and the civil authorities
dared not force their demands by on
terir@ the arsenal. The United states
supreme court decided to turn the nien
over TO the civil authorities. Drury and
Dowd surrendered and were later re-
leased in $1,000 bail.
The prisoners are being defended by
United States District Attorney Dun
klc. The commonwealth is represented
by District Attorney Harry Gochrlng.
1t is reported at Tansier thar fighting
occurred Monday al Elksar between
troops of the Sultan and rebellious

ment is not vet known.

public his suggestion that all the boys
of Co. G, 2Sth Pa, most of whom came
from Sewickley. Pa, should meet in
Reunion and talk over the Old times
and see how many of the comrades are
still alive. He thinks it would be very
good thing for the young people of Sc
wickley to hear such discussions, and
he thinks Capt. Thos. Hamilton would
be the best person to call such a meet
ing, assisted by Mr. Samuel Gasston.
The company was called the 'Sewickley

boroughs and Townships would have
Reunions frequently it would be an
excellent thing.
