CHILD LABOR BILL
LOCAL MEASURE HAS SOME, BUT
NOT MUCH OF A SHOW.

The friends of child labor legislation
have not given up all hope that something
may be done by this Congress to secure
the end for which they have long labored
They will, if possible secure vote on
the pending bill, which has passed the
House of Representatives and Is now
before tn, Senate, with a favorable re-
port from the committee on education and
labor. But the opposition to this measure
which has thus far been shown. indicates
that the likelihood Of legislation is rather
remote
Senator Dubois on two occasions called
up this bill, asking for consideration by
unanimous consent, and on both of these
occasions objection was made. Senator
Nelson and Senator Scott are both out
spoken in their opposition to it. Again
Senator Dubois got the bill before the
Senate by the adoption of a motion to
consider it. but was unable within the
ton to get favorable action, or any action
at all. If possible he will again endeavor
to get the bill before the Senate.
The absence from the city at this time
of Senator Dolliver, chairman of the com
mittee on education and labor. who re-
ported the bill to the Senate, makes action
during the session still bore difficult.
No Hope for Beveridge or Lodge Bills.
There is now no hope expressed for the
passage OF either the Beveridge or the
Lodge bill for a national child labor law,
but the objections urged against that law
are much more pronounced than those that
have been urged against the law that re-
lates solely to the District of Columbia.
This local bill is acknowledged to have a
good many defects. but there are pending
amendments, which are acceptable to
friends of the mea sure, that would do away
with opposition almost, if not quite. entirely,
so that if the measure could come to a
vote it is generally believed that after being
amended it would be passed.
Senator Beveridge's bill has been offered
by him as an amendment to the local child
labor bill. In considering the local BILL this
amendment, it is quite generally believed.
would be voted down. but need not of
necessity prevent favorable action on the
local measure.
There are quite number of things that
are liable to consume time just now which
renders less likely favorable action on the
Dolliver bill. 1t is well known that it could
only be passed after considerable debate,
and as Congress adjourns at noon on Mon
day. time is becoming more and more a
matter of importance.

Not q First Class Car.

It is not often that the interstate COM
merce commission gets complaints from
colored people about the so-called Jim
Crow" laws Of the southern states. but such
a complaint was filed today by Georgia
Edwards, colored woman of Nashville.
against the Nashville. Chattanooga and
Tennessee railroad, not for running Jim
Crow" cars, but for the condition cars and
passengers were both in. She claimed that
she had paid for frst-class ticket over
the road and was compelled to ride in one
Of the "Jim Crow cars. Her complaint
was as much against the class of passengers
as against the car. She said the car itself
was by no means q flrst-ciass one such as
her ticket called for. and that in addition
the men on the car drank, cursed ana smok-
ed to the ANNOYANCE of herself and other

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 1.-George Won
Lengerke Meyer, United States ambassador
to Russia, and who will soon be Postmaster
General in President Roosevelt's cabinet
arrived today on board the White Star
Line steamship Teutonic. Shortly before
leaving London King Edward accorded Mr..
Meyer an audience, during which the king
expressed admiration for President Roose-
welt and requested Mr.. Meyer to convey
the most cordial greetings from him to the
President.
King Edward seemed in very good
health and spirits" said Mr. Meyer. Il at
tended the last levee given by the king be-
fore my departure for this country, and the
king was most cordial in his greetings and
wishes for the welfare of America"
Conditions in Russia.
Mr.. Meyer would not say whether any
special message had been given by King
Edward to be conveyed to President Roose-
welt AS to conditions in Russia, Mr.. Meyer
said:
Recently I travelled for about five
months in Russia, and, to my belief, law
and order is much better established there
now than was the case year ago. Condi-
tions generally in Russia have improved, 1
think, and the people appear In more
tranquil frame of mind. This seems true
of all parties except the terrorists, who are
turbulent.
THE duma meets next Wednesday and
developments are eagerly awaited. 1 be-
lieve that reforms will come and that they
will appear under the rule of the car I
believe 1t is the desire and intention of the
car to effect reforms. They may come
slowly, too slowly, perhaps, to suit many.
but it is the belief that the salutary re-
forms will develop under the cars govern
ment."
Mr.. Meyer was in the diplomatic service
appointment.

WESTERN ROADS TO FIGHT.
Will Oppose Efforts to Enfore Two
Cent Rate Law.

CHICAGO, March 1.-The western rail-
roads have determined to fight in the courts
all state laws making cents mile the
maximum passenger rate. Attorneys of
several of the largest roads held a confer
ence yesterday, with a view to having
all roads pursue the same policy as to liti-
CATION over the 2 cents a mile rate.
The plan now generally favored Is to ask
the courts to restrain the enforcement of
the law on the ground that a rate of cents
a mile would cause the railroads heavy
loss, and in many cases would require them
10 run trains at less than the actual OPP
Grating expenses, regardless of the fixed
charges. taxes and other obligations of the
railroads. of which they claim the passen-
ger traffic should assume a share.

EXPERT ROBBERS JOB
CooLLY STEALS FIXTURES FROM
CAPITOL CLUB ROOM.
Proceeds Leisurely in Presence Of the
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. West One
Of the Spectators.

A daring robbery was committed at the
Capitol Club, 425 18th street northwest,
several days ago. The act was particu-
larly noteworthy because Of the fact that
the lone thief did his lob in a leisurely
manner in the presence of ten or fifteen
prominent men, among whom was Mr.
Henry L. West, who, as District Commits
sioner has supervision Of the police de-
partment. One of the party who gave out
the story today in narrating it said: And
the ridiculous part of it was that the MEM
bers of the club who were in the room at
the time aided the man by moving tables
and chairs for him." However daring in
it's conception and brilliant in it's execution
this burglary was, the members of the
club are not mourning. Nothing was
stolen but electric light bulbs, gas burners
and fixtures, valued at about So.
The theft happened in this way: num-
Der of the men were seated In the cluD
room" on the second floor about D CLOCK
Some were engaged in playing whist. while
others were loung1ng around or reading.
They took no particular notice when
well-built. smooth-faced young man,
dressed after the fashion of mechanic,
quietly entered the room and without ad-
dressing any one looked about the walls
and ceilings and then laid rather large,
sized tool bag on chair. He then started
to tinker about the fixtures, all the time
paying no attention to any one, and SOFTLY
humming to himself Finally he walked
over to the main chandelier in the center
of the room, under which the whist game
was in lively progress. and with pleasant
smile said: I'm sorry to trouble you, gents,
| but you'll have to move the table out er my
way"
Prompt Acquiescence.
why, certainly. OF course" the players
said, and without any delay quickly pushed
the table out of the "workmans" way and
resumed their game. The latter soon had
everything he wanted removed from that
chandelier. and then walked over to a group
who were intently reading beneath clus-
ter of bright electric lights, and with the
same pleasant smile he had previously en-
ployed, said: II guess you gents will have
to move, too They did, and he removed
what he wanted. In this cool way he
stripped the room of everything pertaining
to light and fixtures, and after turning to
the clubmen he bade them a CHEEKY good
day and walked slowly out.
Evening wore on and in a few moments
it was necessary to light up" and when
the jantor was directed to do this he was
surprised to find that nothing would light
That's funny" one of the unsuspecting
clubmen said, "a man has just been here to
put them all in order
Call up the electric company" Commits
sioner West suggested. 1T may be that
1t has had an accident and the power is
shut Off"
This was done and the voice on the other
end of the phone said: mo. We have had
no accident The power is all right" And
then: why, no; we didn't send a man to
repair anything at your club. You say he
took all the bulbs away with him? Ha! Ha!
He was an impostor. You were all easy

Near Chicago

The opening of bids for the construction
of the great lakes naval training station

That action has been taken because of the
fact that 1t developed that few persons were

portunity to make calculations. 1t is esti-
mated that the station will cost in the
