DeLacy Says Child Labor
Law Does Not Apply to
Early Delivery of Papers.
ROUTE AGENT WINS
HIS CASE IN COURT
Bench Holds That Such Employ
ment Cannot Injure Lads Under
Fourteen-Interprets the Law.

Newspaper companies or their route
agents may lawfully employ boys IN
Ger fourteen years Of age to deliver
newspapers 70 subscribers before c
O'Clock in the morning according 20
the decision rendered by Judge De-
Lacy in the Juvenile Court.
This decision Is the result OF the
hearing Of the case last Tuesday against
Lynn l. Reider a route agent for a
local newspaper, who was charged with
having employed Tony Weidman, n lad
under fourteen years Of age, TO deliver
newspapers before 6 O'Clock in the
morning. in violation Of the new child
labor law Of the District, passed by
Congress last May.
A precedent is established by this
decision. which also acquits Mr.. Reider
Of having violated the child labor law.
Wilton J. Lambert was counsel for the
defense and Frederick II. Stevens, as
sistant corporation counsel, represented
the District as prosecuting attorney.
At Tuesdays hearing, the whole case
resolved itself into the cOnstitUtiOnality
OF the section OF the act OF Congress
which prohibits delivery OF news
papers and also the question as TO
WneLner newspapers are neTCnh4luISS III
the strict Interpretation OF that term
Wanted Case Quashed.
Motion was fled by the defendant 20
ouash the case upon two grounds:
that the child labor act is void because
In conflict with the Fourteenth Amend
ment 70 the Constitution, and that the
delivery of newspapers is not forbidden
by the act. Mr.. Lambert cOntended
that the act IS unconstitutional because
Il excludes children in the employ OF
the United States Senate, which would
constitute class Legislation. Judge De-
Lacy AYERS that children in the employ
Of the Senate are not properly a class,
for the constituent units Of such alleged
class are subject TO constant change
owing to the political favor upon which
such service depends He also defends
the right Of the Commissioners TO eX-
ercise Their discretion In issuing per
mits for the employment Of children in
theatrical productions, which legisla-
ton, Judge DeLacy states, has refer
ence TO infants whose status under the
law is abnormal, and IS intended for
their protection, which constitutes a
valid exercise Of the police power OF

the state for the protection OF child
life.
In view Of the fact that half OF the
case pIvoted about the meaning Of the
word merchandise" Judge DeLacy
decided that in no place in the act IS
the prohibition Of the delivery Of news
papers to be found, and he does not
think that newspapers are merchandise
IN the proper sense OF that term for
the reasons that everything OF value Is
not merchandise; that everything traf-
hcked in IS not merchandise, and news
papers are sought for the intelligence
they transmit, and not for the intrinsic
value OF the material upon which that
intelligence IS conveyed

Further investigation Of the George
town gas service shows a condition Of
AFFAIRS even worse than that described
in The Times yesterday The pressure
IS so weak, or the quality Of the gas
so inferior, that, IN many instances the
burners actually go out. and, If not
afterward turned of by the occupants
Of the house, the subsequent flow Of
gas fills the room and becomes a posi-
tive danger to human life
A specific case, which occurred last
night, was told today to a representa-
tive OF The Times by Mrs. D. Il. Smith,
who lives at 1880 Wisconsin avenue.
She SAID:
When the lights upstairs were lit.
the burners below in the store went
out. This is the third time our gas
has actually gone out in this manner
On one occasion 1 could not relight
It We have made numerous complaints
but Il has done no good"
Refused to Light.
G. H. Morgan, of 1874 Wisconsin ave
nue., said virtually the same thing, and
made a positive demonstration Of his
statement by attempting TO light all his
burners at once.
when I light the gas upstairs, 1t
goes oUt downstairs And when I light
IL downstairs II goes out upstairs he
said. Tho pressure must be too low,
or there must be too much air forced
IN with the gas. I never can light all
my burners.
The street lights on n street between
Thirty-second and Thirty-third streets
often go out. II something IS not done
about my gas at once 1 am going 70

At the J. c. AIbrecht cigar factory,
3l21 NJ street, It was said:
when we light one gas burner the
others often go out. This has happen
ed several times within the past few
weeks Our gas IS miserably dim"

Mr.. Greenbaum. who has a shoe store

The gas gave us so much trouble
that we use electric lights now. Our
gas used TO go out often, and when L
spoke TO the company about II, 1t was
blamed on the cold weather. The COM

J. H Broome, Of 1926 Wisconsin ave
nue.. said:
For the past six or eight weeks our
SaS mas been extremely unsatisfactory.
II We light the gas upstairs there is not
enough gas 10 keep the two lights ia
the store burning. we nave complained

make the slightest Improvement As
soon as We can get the store wired we
intend 10 put IN electric lights.
Joseph D. Murray declared;
our gas Is very dim, and. for the last
month, has been most unsatisfactory
We had "a plumber clean out the pipes,
but IL did not help. Everyone around
the streets is bad
The manager Of Evans notion store
said:
THE gas in my windows IS 30 dim
that it is hardly worth while lighring Il.
on NJ street ! nave often noticed the
lights going out"
Operates Own Plant
Another indication OF the dissa .isfac-
ton with both the quality and p-ice OF
Georgetown gas is that the West Wash
ington Hotel operates it's own aoetyieue
gas plant. and its superiority over the
city gas is apparent TO everyone who
enters the place.
THE gas here IS outrageous declared
an old resident Of GEORGETOWN, who is
too closely associated with members or
the company 10 permit his name 10 be
mentioned. There ought to be a strin-
gent law 70 prevent the company from
permitting the gas TO go out. 1t IL eX-
Jremely dangerous. but I don't suppose
anything VIII be done about II until We
hear q some people being sunOcated or
an ex ION taking place Then, after
the company has been sued and the pub
lie aroused, ] suppose Congress or the
Commissioners will get busy. I am glad
70 see The Times has taken the matter
up. II won't be hard TO get plenty OF
testimony, as the people are indsl.Iaa NJ
about the way they are being treated.

within its letter The purpose Of this
Legislation IS the protection OF the ply

no one viii seriously contend that the
nature OF The employment IN the case

The judgment of the case Of Anton

who is charged with violating the child
labor law by permitting two Of his sons
TO work for him. was reserved BY Judge
DeLacy for today.

Professional Diver Declares Bed Of

Firm Planning to Dredge

Burlington, lathe professional
diver Eugene Ferris, who has been
searching the bottom OF the river In
freht of Burlington for a missing pro.
peller wheel. has encountered much
difficulty in gaining n solid footing on
the bed OF the river. He states that
the sand and mud forming the bottom
is so thlckly strewn with logs and lum.
Der that II is almost like trying to
tread dense thlcket to make his way
about and there is no solid ground to
walk upon. He says the logs and lum.
Der stick up in all directions and are
wedged In among each other so tight
ly that 1t is impossible to push them
aside.
The report of Diver Ferris cor
roborates that OF other divers here
aud elsewhere that the bed of the Mis-.
sissippi river is. a forest of logs and
lumber that have accumulated dur.
ing the long years of lumber and log
rafting on the upper river. It is stated
that the Chippewa and other tribu.
tarles of the Mississippi in the north
down which most of the lumber has
been RATED, is densely sown with lost
lumber. and the proposition has been
made that companies be formed to re-
cover the timber.
In the present day Of failing OF the
lumber supply It is thought that now
buried IN the mud OF the river bed is
immensely valuable, and at least one
firm is said to be contemplating a sys.
tematic dredging for It. II is we'll

IMPORTANCE OF POTATO.
Not only Valuable as Food But Has
Manufacturing Value ss Well

The potato Is one OF the most i'm.
roriant food products Of the civilized
world. Win a history dating back but
little MOI than 800 years. Il shows In
that brief time record Of develop
ment unequaled by any other agricul
tural plant Originally a native Of
the mountainous tropic and sub-tropic
regions of America, II was taken TO
Europe by the Spaniards early In the
sixteenth century, and while II did not
become popullrlzed there so rapidly
as here. II has during the last cen.
fury become staple and almost In
dispensable food with most European
peoples.
Nor is II important alone as food
necessity, for during the past 80 years
vast developments have been made.
especially in France and Germany. IN
the manufacture from the potato OF
starch for technical and commercial
purposes and in the production OF al.
cohol for light, power and fuel. In
deed In some European states the ma
tional policy is to encourage the man
ufacture of commercial alcohol from
such sources as these In order that
these countries may escape to some
extent the importation OF petroleum
upon which good many Of them now
depend for light and power purposes
u might be interesting In this con.
nection to note that In 1905 Germany
devoted so per cent. of her potato crop
TO this purpose That Is TO say, 200.
000, 900 bushels OF potatoes. more than
twice as many as were produced on
the whole continent Of North Amer
lea, were used by these people In
1905 for the production OF commercial
starch and alcohol.
Potato growing takes rank right
among the big agricultural industries
OF the present day. Pound for pound

tatoes each year thpn they consume
OF any other agricultural product
