Announcement was made last night
of the engagement of Miss Maude Gill
bert to III. J. CHM. The wedding Will
take place about the middle or next
month at the home of Miss Gilberts
mother in Philadelphia, and Mr.. CHM
and his bride will return to Los An
geles in September to resume their
places as members of the Burbank
stock company.
No great surprise was created by the
announcement, which has been expect
ed by friends of both Miss Gilbert ana
Mr.. CHM for some time. Their plan
to be married this summer, however,
was known to only few of their most
intimate friends. Miss Gilbert now is
in the east, where Mr.. CHM will fol-
low her shortly. At the theater last
night CHM was subjected to consider
able "joshing" by members of the Bur-
bank company, who accused MIN OF

truths. She said he would go to Los

ouently marry. Moreover, she de-
scribed Miss Gilbert accurately and
then. to cap the climax. told her name.
When Mr.. CHM and Miss Gilbert met
some time later the actor told the act
ress of the prediction and both of them
laughed over 1t. Later however, the
Joke became serious, and they decided
to make that particular palmist's pre-
diction come true.
The story ends here, but around the
theater 1t is said that when CHM pro-
iieved in palmists. She admitted that
she did, and the ring followed.

PRESIDENT WANTS LAW
AGAINST CHILD LABOR

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 10
(SpeciaD Roosevelt is de-
termined that there shall be a law
placed upon the statute books pro-
hibiting child labor in the National
Capital If Congress carries out
his wishes the law will serve as q
model for the States, thus securing
that uniformity of legislation which
is essential for the effective control
of this evil.
For the past two years the President
has been incorporating in his message
recommendations for the District oil
Columbia These recommendations
have received languid attention, anG
the subcommittee of the House com
mittee charged with District affairs
has not even arranged for hearings
on the subject. 1t has become evi-
dent to the President that mere
recommendation is not enough, and
is now making it a point to speak di-
rectly to members as to the conditions
which exist in Washington.
The disposition on the part OF
Congress and the public generally is
to believe that with respect TO child
labor Washington is like Ireland in
the matter of snakes.

NARROW CHANGES
IN COTTON MARKET
SCdnt Transactions Locally
Basis Quotations.


At the opening of the cotton market
yesterday values were 2 to points
above the previous close, due in part
to better feeling at Liverpool. F'luc-
tuations were narrow during the day,
the market firming up a little near
the close, which was unchanged at
New Orleans and 3 to 4 points net
higher at New York Spots in the
latter market were quoted 10 points
higher and unchanged at New Or
leans.
Liverpool opened to points up,
being about as due. Prices were a
little easier in the early afternoon,
bue the close was steady, to 6
points above the last for Thursday.
The market is due 1 point up this
morning. Spots were reduced l point
with sales of 1000 bales
In the local spot market a few
bales changed hands on the basis of
quotations, which are unchanged from
Thursday. Not much cotton was Of
fered, while the buyers on the other
hand were not seeking very large
supplies.

WAR VESSELS ORDERED
TO PREPARE TO SAIL

PHILADELPHIA, PA, April 10
tSpeciaD were said to have
been received at League Island yes
terday to prepare the war vessels
there at once to sail at any minute
Admiral Pendleton, commandant of
the yard, denied that any order init
mating there would be any trouble
anywhere, had been received, but
admitted that the vessels were being
made ready for service in quick step,
particularly with the battle ships
ldoho and Indiana Both vessels were
having ammunition placed on board
today.
While no explanation of the many ord
ers sent to the Leagnue Island navy
yard was made at the Navy Depart
ment yesterday, yet, it is supposed
that the instructions for haste arose
either from the somewhat alarming
reports of further trouble threatened
in Haiti, or in view of the defiant at
titude assumed by President Castro,
of Venezuela, in connection with the
pending diplomatic controversy, which
has reached an acute phase

There is Child Labor Here

AS a matter of Fact, there is child
labor here Such conditions as pre-
vail in manufacturing cities do not
exist There are no mills in which
children work twelve hours daily
But there are Iaundries and small fac
tories in which children labor
ten hours a day. An investigation
made by the Bureau of Labor showed
that there were twelve-year-old boys
working from 1880 in the morning
until $50 in the evening and again
from 1880 until 10, a thirteen-hou1
