The moment the news of Miss Ions.

that the suit was proof that it would
be a disgrace fer a member OF the

She finally wrote to King Victor
Emmanuel, who is a cousin of the
Duke, reiteaating her wen known OPP
position to the wedding and citing the
Elkins suit as sufficient reason for his
firm and immediate interference
In this better she asserted also
that the marriage would most assur

The opponents of the Dukes wed

Heavy Penalty for Employing Chill

From the World Of SATURDAY.;

From the World OF SATURDAY.;
1t will doubtless be surprising 70
many persons hese to learn that there
are about 200 children under fifteen
years OF age in Martinsburg who are
not attending the public or p~arochial
schools, but such Is the fact as ascer-
tanned by a careful count made by
the superintendent and teachers in
the various schools. Superintendent
Brindle has a list of the children re-
ferrei to- many Of whom are working
in the mills while others are working
in stores or otherwise engaged during
school hours.
This is In clear violation of the new
compulsory school law which explicit
" says that all children OF school age,
under is years. shall attend school
during the school term, unless excus-
ed by sickness or other good and suf-
ficient cause, and that IL a boy or
girl shall remain out OF school two
days In a. week the parents OF the
child are subject to a fine OF 81 for
the first offense and SIS for the sec
ond, the money to be paid into the
school FUND. 1t Is to be understood
that night schools do not comply with
the new law.
1t is now up to the truant officer to
enforce the law. he being vested with
such authority, while the superinten-
dent ami teachers are required to re.
port TO him any c asses Of truancy
within their knowledge
The mills and some other employ
ers of children of school age have
been notified that they are violating
the. law, but little heed has been paid
TO the notice. AS this paper pointed
out a few days ago, such employers
are guilty OF a misdemeanor, uniel
the new law, and are subject to I
fine OF SIS in each case and may b
imprisoned for ten DAYS.
Truant Officer Criswell stated on
this mroning with a list OF the zoe
children from eight to fifteen years o
age. arranged alphabetically. who are
not attending the public or ~parochial
schools. The parents of such will be
notified 10 comply with the law 81
once or suits will be brought against
them before a magistrate, which il Ii
the trliant officers duty to do. En-
ployers need not be notified to re
frain from employing children under
Is years of age, though as a matter
of courtesy II has been done in some
instances.
AS a matter OF course the employ
ment OF children OF school age outside
OF school hours or outside OF the
school term is not prohibited by ba'.,
nor are the parents or guardians
liable To- penalty.
