Of Road and Bridge
Material.

Jefferson Cfty.-Speaker Speer yield
ed the rostrum the first time during
the session to Speaker Pro TEN Ford
in order to introduce from the floor,
by unanimous consent. an amendment
TO the child labor law.
Two years ago Mr.. speer amended
the bill when II came from the senate,
where It was fathered by Senator Kin.
ney OF ST. Louis. This amendment
limited its provisions to cities with
population Of more than 10000. Mr..
Speer's amendment extends the law
throughout the state.
The amendment. however. exempts
from Its provisions stores where less
than ten persons are employed. In all
other places children under II are
prohibited from holding a gainful &C.
cupation. The law as amended is said
TO have the Endorsement Of the social
legislation advocates OF st. Louis, In.
Guiding the business organizations and
women's clubs.
The house again decided to hold a
Saturday session. though the senate
adjourned over until Monday. An Of.
fort was made In the house TO follaw
the senate's lead for the longer ad.
journment, but the leaders. including
Speaker Speer, urged a session in Of
der that the crowded calendar may be
cleared. The senate is far In advance
Of the house and there are now more
than 500 bills pending in the latter
branch.
A bill was introduced by Mr.. Spence
OF Stoddard county providing for a
board of commissioners for the promo
ton of uniformity OF legislation, the
board to be composed Of three mem.
bers appinted by the governor.
The object of the measure, II is
stated. is to bring about uniform laws
respecting divorce, marriage. insolv-
ency. the descent and distribution of
property, the execution and probate of
Wills and other subjects upon which
uniformity OF legislation in various
states and territories Is desirable,
Among the bills sent to engross-
ment was the bRl introduced by MIR.
Busche of st. Louis, which limits the
working hours OF females to nine
hours daily. or 81 hours a week. This
bill. II passed, will prevent girls from

their daily employment being given as

out the lining and put 1t In his

BY this time he was beating In to-

down to the beach. And there on the
shore was Teller hailing us. And
when we got close in It turned out
TO be Hartley himself
He was glad enough to see me. but
when he found that Van and Lord
James had turned up missing he was
in state. He'd been kind of scared
when we didn't come back during the
night and had walked down to the
beach in the morning to see II he
could sight us.
We headed OF shore again. Nate
watched Hartley pretty close and I
suppose when he seen that the Twin
didn't show any symptoms of getting
sick. he begun TO worry again. He
got out a piece OF pencil and an old

Bill Changes Cost Plan.

Jefferson City-Representative Kies
of Cape Girardeau county nitro
duced a bill in the house which. II
passed. will deny the right Of counties
TO call on the state to pay costs In
criminal cases and will stop the state
tax on dramshop licenses. The latter
provision is said to be intended to
OFFSET the county unit bill. already
gone to engrossment In the house.
which permits counties TO vote as q
whole upon antiHquor propositions.
The Kies bill is certain to provoke
spirited discussion when II comes up.
II will reYolutionize the present sys
tenn, by which the state bears practi.
cally all the expenses Of criminal
cases In the county. placing the bur
den upon the counties. II reads. In
part:
Hereafter It shall be the duty Of all
counties to pay the costs In all Grim.

duced a bill In the senate providing
for the establishment OF n plant in the
penitentiary for the manufacture OF
road and bridge material. This Is one
Of several bills looking to the employ
ment Of convict labor otherwise than
under the contract system.
Two years ago Senator Eads had a
bill before the senate along the same
line, the object being to occupy the
convicts in the manufacture OF road
material and tools, and also In the
manufacture OF bridge material.

During Gov. Docker's administration
a binder twine plant was installed in
the penitentlary at a pretty heavy
cost, the object being to furnish the
farmers Of the state twine for harvest

ton and employs about SO convicts out
OF about 2,l00.
