The Senate occupied the first two hours
Of its session yesterday afternoon In per-

Mr. Hepburn finished the remarks he be-

had concluded Mr.. Newaands secured the
floor to address himself to the same SUBJ

marked that the Secretary Of the Interior
had been very sharply censured all through
the debate.

continued, ''is that he Is q capable and hon

JUVENILE COURT POWER.
Suggested Jurisdiction in Certain
Cases Under Chiid-Labor Bill.

The Commissioners have forwarded a
communication to Senator Dolliver, chair
man of the Senate committee on education
and labor, in which they recommend that
the bill regulating the employment of child
labor in the jurisdiction of the District be
so amended as to give the local Juvenile
Court certain power to act in all cases that
arise under the act This recommendation
of the Commissioners is based upon reasons
furnished by Judge DeLacy of the Juvenile
Court.
The principal reason given by Judge De-
Lacy is that the Juvenile Court has been
established to save children, and he con-
tends that matters affecting child life would
seem to be more properly cognizable in his
court. He also says the proceedings in his
court are calculated to bring to light the
conditions to be forbidden by the proposed
child-labor law.
Here inquiry is made into the family
life and the antecedents of the child with q
view to the prescription of the proper cor
rection rather than punishment for the Of
Tense committed said Judge DeLacy. 1.-THE
child labor sought to be prevented by the
proposed law has been shown to lead to
arrested development. physically, mentally
and morally, and therefore has a tendency
to determine the child toward violation of
law and a life of crime which this court
has been established to prevent"

land until the message had come to Con-
gress that he had taken this action.
Mr. Newlands defended the Secretary OF
the Interior. He said the President was
taking the initiative in the creation OF
forest reserves. The President had made
a special study of the situation, and
should be given the responsibility, and not
the Secretary Of the Interior. who was now
going out Of office after q long and hon
orable service. The Secretary, he said,
was patriotic and friend of the west.
Senator Newlands insisted that the
proper remedy could be secured only
through amendments to the public land
laws, and that western senators should
meet the situation by getting together on
the terms Of a revision.
Senator Carter remarked that The ium-
Der trust was the result of the admins
tration Of the lien land laws by the pres
ent Secretary Of the Interior. He said
that railroads were allowed to exchange
large holdings Of land in Arizona, from
which they had cut the timber, for tim
bered lands in the northwest, and In this
Way immense tracts had come under the
ownership of a few persons. NO acfion
was taken on the Carter resolution on
which the speeches were based.
Mr.. Bacon made brief statemen! IN
tended to show that Senator Beverage
had been in error regarding the operation
of the child-labor laws in Georgia Mr.
BeyeridRe had said that there hnd Deen
three Thousand applications for child labor
in Fulton county, Ca. under the new state
law. and that ali Of them had been granted
MT. Bacon said he had ascertained tnae
but ten applications had been granted.

Jeffrey Binning came very near meet
ing death by his own hand Sunday
evening. He has for some time been
compelled to take me icine to induce
sleep on account of suffering. Sunday
night he got teaspoonful of carbolic
acid in mistake for the medicine he
was taking. Only by quick work on the
part of his wife in getting doctor and
assistance death was averted. Mr..
Binning has for several months been
very poorly and his wife has been sick
a great deal of the time for the past
year which caused them to become a
trifle careless in handling their medi-
cine. This should be timely warning
to every sensible person to beware OF
giving or taking medicine without first
making sure of the contents. Mr.. Bin
ming is suffering with very sore mouth
and throat as result of his accident
but may be truly thankful that it was
not worse.-Grapd River Local.
