VIOLATIONS OF
CHILD LABOR LAW
COMMISSIONER. OF NEW YORK
STATE GIVES REVIEW OF COURT
PROCEEDINGS AND SAYS MAGfs-
TRATES ARE TOO LENIENT.

Albany, N. Y, January Sin state
ment given out tonight, Commissioner
John Williams of the state labor depart
ment. gives a resume of violations of the
labor law, particularly child labor cases,
brought into court during the three
months ending December 81 last. Com
menting in child labor cases. Commits
sioner Williams says:
'"The result of our punitive proceedings
is far from satisfactory. In Greater New
York we brought rs cases to court, only
% of which have been disposed of. Con-
victions were obtained in seven, two were
withdrawn by the department and IA were
dismissed"
Commissioner Williams comments at
some length on the action of certain mag
istrates, especially In this city and Bing-
hampton, in suspending sentence after the
department had secured convictions
IF the department receives proper sup
port at the hands of the magistrates"
continued Commissioner williams, there
is no reason why violations of the child
labor law may not eventually be entirely
wiped out, for it is our purpose to con-
tinue to enforce 1t most vigorously"
Between October | and December 81 the
number of cases of violation of the child
labor law prosecuted is given as 11S, di-
vided as follows:
Employing under IA years of age, 49,;
employing child without certificate, Sc;
employing child over eight hours day.
A. employing child after p. m, two.
OF this number, 1t is announced, 60
cases have been disposed of, convictions
were had in 40, three were withdrawn by
the.department and II dismissed by mag
istrates.

Movement Is Looked Upon As
Very Suspicious
ORDER LATELY RECEIVED
Newspapers in Paris Comment Freely
Upon the Relations Between ia
pan and the United States.
Neither Will Fight.

Vancouver, B. c., January 5-Many
Japanese reserve army men have been
ordered to Toxic, according to a report
current today. The Japanese themselves
refuse to discuss the subject, but it can
not be denied as several hundred men
have arrived from the United States and
are making ready to leave for Japan.
Japanese Consul Maikawa has gone to
Japan on a furlough, and his representa-
tive in Vancouver denies any knowledge
of the affair. 1t is learned that a large
number of Japanese arrived yesterday on
steamer from Puget Sound points.
The gathering of the Japanese is be-
ing carried out with very much mystery.
No less than 200 landed this morning from
small American steamer which slipped
in and out of the harbor before daylight
and neither entered nor cleared from the
custom house.
There has been a steady stream of the
brown men from the logging camps. No
Japanese in the city will admit the re-
turn of the soldiers, but officers of the
Asiatic exclusion declare that they have
absolute information that this order has
been received in Vancouver since the de-
parture of the American fleet for the Pa
cific waters.

OMMENT IN PARIS.
Newspaper Says Japan and America
Will Not Have War.

Paris, January 5.-The newspapers here
continue to give much space to the Amer
ican-Japanese situation and comment
upon the latest developments. The pa
pers print an alleged interview with Vis-
count Aoki. the retiring ambassador of
Japan to the United States in which he
is quoted from San Francisco, as saying
that Japan would consider as an often
sive action any attempt on the part of
the United States to exclude the Japanese
and take this as a text on which to base
long articles. Viscount Aokrs denial of
this interview has not yet been published
here. Lacking this denial the Journal Des
Debats thinks that in his interview Aoki
has placed his finger on the real danger
point
Japan refuses to admit that anywhere
on the globe the Japanese are socially
inferior to any other people, says the
paper. Japan claims to have won the
absolute right to be treated as a great
power everywhere and under all circum-
stances
In the opinion of one paper. If the two
governments accede to the sentiments of
the people and the logical necessities of
the situation a conflict would appear i'm
minent.
but Japan is without money and
America Is not ready" it adds, "conse-
quently we will doubtless see both nations
champing at their bits a while longer"
The Gaulois believes that friendly and
tactful powers at Washington will pre-
vent a break. 1t fears only that the
American people may become excited.
Baron Kurno, the Japanese ambassa-
dor to France, today gave out state
ment that he was convinced that Wis.,
count Aoki only meant that Japan would
consider offensive special legislation
against Japan, for instance, to the ex-
cluson against the Chinese"

FINANCE AFFAIRS
WAIT ON ALDRICH
1T is UNDERSTOOD THAT THE
SENATOR HAS MONEY SlTUA-
TIoN WELL IN HAND AND WILL
PLAN BILL.

Washington, January 5.-(Special) Mot
a meeting of the senate committee on
finance Tuesday at which time there will
be further consideration of emergency
financial legislation and Notwithstanding
the demand for early action along this
line by Congress, it is not likely that
financial bill will be reported to the Sem
ate as a result of the meeting. More time
is to be consumed by the committee be-
fore a measure entirely satisfactory to
Senators Aldrich og Rhode Island. ALL
son of Iowa, and Hale of Maine, the NOV
ing spirits of the committee will be forth
coming.
Senator Aldrich, who as chairman of
the committee must approve of any meas
ure that is to be presented, would not
tak for publication yesterday except that
fact that the committee had spent a part
of next Tuesdays meeting and that re-
ports that had been circulated to the eff
feet that the committe had spent part
of the Christmas holidays informally dis
cussing a proposed measure were 1ncor-
rect.
This means that neither branch of
Congress will be likely to enter upon a
real debate of the financial situation at
once, since it is understood that on ac-
count of the tangle in the House commit
tee on banking and currency that COM
mittee will not be able to frame relief
bill that will have the ghost of chance
of passing in either branch
AS usual the indications are that what
Senator Aldrich has to say about finS~
cial bill, Twill co. 1t Is practically con-
ceded that he has the entire situation
completely in hand. whatever may have
been the doubts at the opening of this
Congress about his ability to control 1t.

MGRE FUNDS ASKED
FOR POSTOFF|CES
Annual Report of the Depart
ment Shows Growth
BETTER PAY RECOMMENDED
Mr.. Hitchcock Speaks of the Needs Of
Postal Service and Makes Many
Suggestions for Better Hand
ling of the Mails.

Washington, January 5.-The annual re-
port of First Assistant Postnaester Cen
eral Frank H. Hitchcock fe. the fiscal
year was made public today. The rev.
enues collected through the postoffices
during the fiscal year 1906, he says
amount to about s16SO00 900, gain Of
more than SIS, 200, 600 and the report states
that this growth was continued in 1907
when the aggregate reached $lS3, 900, ,0Oc
being somewhat in excess of that OF the
previous year. In order to meet the con-
tinuous growth of his bureau. Hr. Hitch
cock makes a plea for larger appropria-
tions. He also recommended the appoint
ment of auditors to supervise the finan-
cial operations of the leading postoffices.
''The present policy of reappointing
presidential postmasters who have con-
Quoted their offices to the satisfaction of
the public and of the department has re-
suited in decided benefit to this service"
said Mr.. Hitchcock. He adds that about
So per cent of the presidential postmas-
ters nave been reappointed for efficient
service.
Increased salaries for various classes
of employees of the department are recon-
mended. In order to relieve third-class
postmasters of = necessity of paying for
assistance out II their salaries a recon-
mendation is made for an increase to
$2,0o0,O0O in the allowances for that pur-
post Thirty instead of Is days annual
leave is recommended for postal en-
ployes. An extension of the city delivery
service, to more cities than are included
under the present lazy. is recommended.
Under the amendment to the law, he sug-
gests free delivery service would be given
to over 400 towns that do not now en-
joy that advantage. He recommends that
a law be enacted requiring patrons of the
department to provide a receptacle for the
reception of malls as a means of saving
time of the carriers. Mr. Hitchcock deals
with the question of the handling of first
class mails deposited without postage
and suggests that such mail be forwarded
at once and that double postage shall be
collected on it.
The total number of postinasters of all
cl9 ses appointed during the year was 49,
81 as against 1885 for 1906

KING LEOPOLD'S
COURSE DEFENDED
BELGIUM NEWSPAPER TAKES UP
SUBJECT OF CONGO ATROCITIES
IN ORDER TO INFLUENCE THE
PUBLIC.

Brussels, January 5.-The newspaper
Derniere Neure has begun the publica-
ton seria1ly of the history of Col Henry
I. Kowalsky's campaign in America, in
19O5-06, to counteract the effect of the
exposure of atrocities in the Congo and
to place in as favorable light as pos
sible King Leopold's Congo administra-
ton. The articles accuse Colonel Kow-
alskv of manipulating certain newspa-
pers for the purpose of deceiving Presi-
dent Roosevelt and to block the action
of congress until the passage OF the
Lodge resolution
Baron Moncheur, the Belgian minister
at washington, James G. Whitley, coun-
sui general of the Congo Free state, and
Professor Nereni, are represented as hav-
ing been for a time closely allied with
Colonel Kowalsky.
Most of the documents printed thus FAR
have already been published in the Unit
ed States. but later an interesting sequel
by Colonel Kowalsky is promised.

ACTION IN AUTO WAR,

New York, Aug. 19.-Radich action
was taken last night at meeting OF
the contest committee of the Automo-
bile Club of America which is bound to
exert considerable influence on the
controversy now waging between the
A. c. A. and the American Automobile
Association and is very likely to have
some effect on intending entrants in
the Vanderbilt cup race. In brief the
contest committee decided to offer
$4,000 in cash prizes for the AutomO-
bile Club of Americas grand prize race
at Savannah on Thanksgiving day aud
to disqualify any one competing in an
international race in this country un-
less the event is sanctioned by the
Automobile Club of America.

committee. presided at the meeting, the
others present being Henry Sanderson
first vice president of the club; H. C.
PiersOn. Massachusetts, Automobile
Club; Henry SOuther, chairman A. G.
A. technical committee, and F.. Rand
Hollander, Harry S. Houpt and Henry
H. Law of the contest committee. The
$1,000 offered for the clubs grand prize

tiOnal race in America not sanctioned

CLOSE YOUR STORES
On Sunday Is Word at Northport from
Rev. n. N. PrinqIe.

Northport, Me, Aug. 19-Supt
Charles Q. Dickey Of Northport camp
ground received message from H. ~
Pringle of Waterville last week in
which he stated that he should have
to ask him to see that the stores at
Northport were all closed on Sundays
in the future.
1t has been the practice of opening
the stores in the mornings for GER
tain length of time so that those who
arrived on the early morning Sunday
boat or those who neglected to get all
their supplies on Saturday evening
might not go hungry on Sunday. No
harm has apparently resulted from this
practice and while some of the stores
have perhaps continued to remain
open longer, there has been only the
patronage of the residents of the
grounds. Mr.. Dickey at once notified
the storekeepers and they will be gov
erned accordingly.
AT Temple Heights it is claimed,
that if the storekeeper is obliged to
close it will mean the loss of half of
his business, for the Sunday trade IS
the principal item of the season and
further than that, it would be a great
hardship to the many excursionists
who come there for the day and de-
pend upon getting their lunches and
supplies at the store.

BOSTON PUGS GIVE BAR
HARBOR A BAD NAME,

Boston, Aug. 19.-Some of the BOYS
who were in Bar Harbor last week to
the Sullivan-F'lynn bout do not bring
back very encouraging news of the fis-
tic games in that town. Small crowds
patropize the bouts and war between
rival clubs is increasingly waged. This
has Killed all interest in the sport, and
the hackers of each organization are
financially embarrassed by this con-
dition of affairs. Apparently it is a fin
ish battle. and will go on until both
clubs are wiped out
Things have reached a stage there
now where most any sort of a game
is likely to be sprung on visiting box
ers. One of the men that came back
from there the other day says that the
plot to have his boxer and himself ar
rested was circumvented only bv n
timely tip to get under cover and re-
main there until it was time to get in
the ring This should serve as a warn
ing to any local boxers that have a
chance to visit that summer resort.

BOSTONIANS EXPECT GREAT
FIGHT AT ARMORY A A.

Boston. Aug 19-The next local
bout of any Importance will be that
between Young Donohue of Roxbury
and Jim Bonner of Summit Hill. Pa.
These boys will clash at the Armory
A. A. next Tuesday night and from
past performances should furnish a
lively bout for the club members.
Donohue, who was christened Phil
Powers shortly after his arrival upon
mother earth, is fast scientific boxer,
and he also showed gameneSs in his
bout against George Memsic in this
city, for the Bohemian had him in bad
shape early in the contest but the
Roxbury wonder more than evened up
matters before the closing round.
Those who saw Bonner in his Bos-
ton appearances know what the Penn
sylvanian is capable of doing. Until
Jim met Tommy Quill he was thought
to be invincible. and he didn't have
much the worse of that GO Bonner
is a worker from the tap of the gong
and gets his persistent tactics from
his brother Jack, now out OF the game
but in his day one of the best middle
weights in the country.

AN ASCENSION PARK
To Be Established Near Boston by
New England Aero Club.

Boston, Aug 19.-Thc Aero Club of
New, England is .endeavoring to ar
range a short distance ascension park.
within 50 miles of Boston, to which
it's members can go in the afternoon.
make an ascension and return to Bos-
ton for dinner. according to announce
ment made by the club today. A
place west of the city during the pre-
vailing winds would be especially de-
sirable as the balloons could drift to-
wards Boston.
THE facilities offered at Lowell" the
announcement states, ARE unsurpass-
ed, but the short distance from the
Atlantic ocean causes the committee
to hesitate about locating permanent
~ in that city. A test ascension Will
be made in Lowell, however, after
Sept. Is and one will also be made
from Nashua, n. H.
