InOlude = Wise Proviso for Young
Breadwinners.
Notifications OF the law of June
10, 1902, governing the employment
of women and children, recently
brought before the Italian Cham
Der of Deputies, provide for new
regulations which will be of interest
In industrial America. The new
regulations provide that children of
either sex under ~ years will not be
allowed to work in any factory or
mines. This provision is practically
extended also to any trade. For ad-
mission to work In mines, tunnels,
and so forth, children must have at
tanned the age of 13 years where
there is electric traction, and IA
years where there is no electric trac-
ton, and women and girls are ex-
cluded altogether from this class OF
labor, regardless OF age.
In work of a heavy, unhealthy or
dangerous nature the new laws pro-
vide that no boys under 10 years of
age shall be employed, or females
under the age of 21. In Sicily, under
certain circumstances, boys of 1S
years will be allowed to continue
In the employments where they are
now engaged until July /, 1907, af-
ter which the age limit will be IA
years under the conditions named
above. Night work will not legally
exceed nine hours out of the twenty
four, and in cases where night and
day shifts are used the reliefs shall
be made every eight hours.
These new regulations indicate
the amount of thought which is be-
ing devoted to an important branch
of social science by the Italian gov
ernment

REPUBLIC WAS
GOING TOO FAST
Charge Made by Agents OF
Steamer Florida-No Trouble
on Florida's Bridge.
CAPTAIN GIVEN AN OVATION
Commander of Republic and His Wire'
less Operator Are ShOwered
With HOnOrS.

New York, JAN 27.-Features or the
day in the aftermath of the Nantucket
collision which resulted in the loss OF
the White Star liner Republic, the Sc
rious damaging of the Italian inner
Florida, the death of six persons ana
the injury of several others, were the
honors extended to Capt. Sealby and
Wireless Operator Jack Binns OF the
Republic, and a statement by the
Florida's people as to how the COLL
sion occurred. The White Star peo-
pie promise their version OF the cause
of the collision today.
Ovation for Captain.
The day began with the landing at
the White Star pier of Capt. Sealby
and Operator Binns. A big crowd
awaiting them cheered the men heart
lily while score of enthusiastic adj
mirers tossed the men to their shout
ders and thus carried them to the
steamship offices On the floor above.
Here the captain and Binns held
reception, receiving the congratula-
lions of scores of callers, and here
Capt. Sealby modestly told the story
of how he stood by his ship until she
sank beneath him. Later Capt. Seal
by and Operator Binns, accompanied
by Capt. Ransom of the Baltic, went
to the White Star offices on lower
Broadway, where another great crowd
met them and the ovation was repeat
ed.
Running at High Speed.
On the Brooklyn water front, at
Bush's Stores, the Florida, which
rammed her nose into the Republics
side with such force as to give that
ship what proved her death blow, was
the scene of much activity. Her sea-
men were clearing away the debris
and making her shipshape, so that she
might go into dry dock for repairs.
Capt. Rospini declined to make any
statement as to the cause of the col
lision, but after a conference with
representatives Of G.. B. Richards &
Co., his agents, and Archibald Thatch-
er, an admiralty lawyer, Richards &
W. gave OuC q oIClCClAlClAC lC5fAA NliAo
the circumstances. of the collision.
It's feature was the direct charge that
the Republic was running at high
rate of speed through the fog. 1t also
refuted the reports that the quarter
master of the Florida was to blame
and that the captain struck the man.
Eugene Lynch Dies.
A sad incident of the day was the
death of Eugene Lynch of Boston in
the Long Island hospital at Brooklyn.
He succumbed to the various injuries
he received when the Florida crashed
into the Republics side just where his
stateroom was located. His wife,
who was with him, was killed instant.
ly. Her body and that of W. J.
Mooney, a banker of Langdon, n. D.,
were encased in metallic caskets and
went down with the Republic when
that ship sank Sunday night near No
Mans Land.
The others injured in the collision,
including Mrs. M. F. Murphy Of Grand
Forks, N. O., who was most seriously
hurt, are reported as recovering in the

STEPHENSON FACES
SERIOUS CHARGES
Wisconsin Senator Accused of
Improper Use of Money in
Primary Election.
INVESTIGATION CALLED FOR
Senate Passes Resolution Providing for
Inqniry-Grants Immunity
to Witnesses.

Madison, Wis, Jan. 27.-If United
States Senator Isaac Stephenson
holds the strength he exhibited yes
terday in separate branches OF the
Wisconsin legislature he will be elect
ed in joint assembly today to succeed
himself for a full term. Senator Ste
phenson received 60 votes in the as
sembly and IL in the senate, or a to-
tai of 70. In the assembly fifteen
members voted blank and in the SEN
ate sixteen were counted as present
but not voting. 1t requires siXty-sev-
en- votes in joint assembly to elect.
Sensations Are Numerous.
Sensations were numerous, espe-
cially in the upper branch of the leg
islature yesterday. Shortly after con-
yening Senator Husting, in speaking
on the joint resolution to investigate
the senatorial primary said: Can you
use the cloak of the primary to de-
bauch the electorate?" 1t was a mat
ter of common knowledge that moth
ing but money entered into the cleo
ton campaign last summer, and that
money won, he said. On top Of Sena-
tor Hastings TRADE came Senator
Blaine with the filing of sixteen spe-
cific charges of accusing Senator Ste
phenson of the improper use of mon
ey in the primary, naming the sum
as in excess of 100000, and approx
mating $250,000. Senator Blaine fol-
lowed the presentation of his charges
by speaking on the subject, "The Pur-
chase of United States Senator
ship" and he proposed to show that
it was purchased by corruption, bri-
berry and fraud.
Agree to Investigate.
He cited the case of Former Sena-
tor Clark of Montana, saying that
Clark had no other claim to Office
than his millions, and that Stephen
sons was the same. He followed his
attack by offering a substitute investi-
cation resolution in pace of the Hust-
ing measure, which differed in that it
provided immunity from arrest for all
who may testify to the committee of
DflDefy, DuC not immunity TOT perjury.
This resolution was adopted by the
senate at the late afternoon session,
after an amendment including the in
vestigation of officials for ten years
back was turned down. Other sena-
tors spoke for and against the investi-
cation. The original investigation
resolution was killed in the assembly
branch.
