WALLACE ENDORSES COOK.

POUGHKEEPSIE. y. ". Sept. s.
Dillon Wallace. the author and ex.
plorer. whose companion Leonard
Hubbard. became lost and starved to
death while exploring Labrador. in an
interview yesterday said that he had
implicit faith in DIR. Frederick Cooks
wonderful feat. MIR. Wallace had COM
pleted plans for an expedition for the
relief of DR. Cook. In his statement
yesterday he said;
Il knew DR.. Cook we'll. You can
put implicit trust in his veracity.
When he was a boy he exhibited signs

would read Of explorers and study
their methods. II Is utterly impossible
that Cook could merely have found
the magnetic pole. His course would
not have permitted that. Any one
who has visited the country and stud

impossible il would be- for him TO
reach the magnetic pole from the
course he took.
DIR. Cook started out from Files

family was from Cape Thomas Hub

explorer who died with Wallace in

Local Factory Managers Asked
To Aid in Bettering CondI.
tions Of Child Laborers
LAWS RIGIDLY OBEYED HERE
Not a Single Prosecution has Been
Made for Violation OF Child Labor
Laws in Kenosha in More
Than Two Years

Leading factory managers IN Keno
sha have received a letter from the
National Society for the Protection of
Child Labor asking them to act in
unison with the society in the effort
that is being made to decrease the
number of children employed in big
manufacturing plants in the various
cities Of the country. Kenosha is one
of the largest employers of children
in the state of Wisconsin and it is
estimated that at the present time no
less than 500 children between the
ages of IA and IS years are employed
in the various factories of the city,
Judge Slosson and Frank Waldo, who
have the power to issue permits for
child workers have declared that per.
mits will only be issued In strict COM
pliance with the law and during the
past few months many permits have
been refused. The managers of the
factories have joined with the officials
in the rigid enforcement of the law and
at the present time it is impossible for
a child labOrer to get job in any
of the Kenosha factories without
the proper permit. Some years
there were many prosecutions in
LKenosha on account of the en-
ployment of children in violation of
the state laws, but as soon as the
factory men were advised of the de-
mands of the law they began to live
up to them to the letter. In the past
six months Assistant Factory Inspector
David Evans of Racine, has made a
close inspection of the Kenosha fac
tories, but he found no cause for COM
plant and not q single arrest was made.
With the closing of the schools there
will be q great rush of children to
secure the so-calIed "vacation per-
mits," but none of these will be is
sued to children under the age of IL
years and the factory managers have
an agreement among themselves not to
employ any children under this age.
Most of the labor in the factories in
Kenosha at the present time is being
employed through the Kenosha Employ
ment Bureau and it is certain that no
child under age viii be placed in the
factories by Secretary Shearer of the
Association.
Nearly all of the Kenosha factory
managers. have agreed to work with
the National Society for the better
ment of the conditions under which the
children are employed and it is certain
that these men viii do all in their
power to put the child workers under
the best possible Surroundings.

WAR ON HOUSE FLY
Health Officers Urge People TO
Clean Out House Fly Pest
EARLY in the Season
FIGHT ON FLIES WIDE SPREAD

Warm and sultry weather is coming
on. Kenosha is ABOUT the healthiest city
of similar population in the country,
there being no contagious diseases pre-
valent. Cleanliness is essential to
these favorable conditions and the ma
jority of citizens have cleaned up in
back yards and other parts of premises.
Notwithstanding, there are some places
left that are classed as filthy and others
not perfect.
From every city Of note in the
country, circulars are being received at
the local health Office, calling attention
to the festive fly and warning people
that row is the time to fight these
pests. Flies are denounced as the dirt
lest and filthiest of all vermin. They
are born in filth, live ON filth, carry
filth around with them. These flies are
known to be the carriers of millions
of death-dealing disease germs and
they leave some of the germs wherever
they alight.
Food is a favorite rendezvous for
them. They visit the kitchen, the din
ing reem, the baby's milk or the
baby's crib, fresh from privy vaults,
garbage box, manure pile, cuspidor,
from the contagious sick room, or from
decaying animals and vegetable mat
ter, with this sort of filth on their legs
and in their bodies, and the filth is
deposited on the good food. There is
no doubt but that flies may infect any
person with diptheria, tuberculosis and
typhoid fever.
It is suggested that windows be per-
fectly screened; that food be screened.
especially milk; also keep flies away
from foodstufs; keep them away from
the sick; kill every fly that appears in

to be used. Another thing, garbage

POLICE WATCH TRACKITO AID GREAT WORK
Grand Avenue Crossing Of c. &
NV. Guarded by officers To
Prevent Laying Of Tracks
FEAR RUSE OF RAILWAY MEN

Grand avenue, and particularly that
portion of the avenue near West Main
street, is under constant police sur
VIGILANCE on account of the fact that
it was reported to Mayor Scholey on
Saturday that the officials of the North
western Railway Company had we'll
defined plan to force the building of
the switch tracks Of the company across
Grand avenue The soft impeaehments
were denied by the officials of the COM
pany, but it is said that the police
were not placed on the avenue without
good cause for alarm. For the past
l. u years the officials of the company
have been making an effort to get the
added switch tracks across the avenue
but the people of that part of the city
are bitterly opposed to the placing OF
the tracks and the Council at recent
meeting declared against the ordinance
for the building of the tracks by an
almost unanimous vote.
1t was thought that the matter had
been dropped by the company, but just
before midnight Saturday night Mayor
Scholey was called from his bed and
notified that the company had large
force of men in the city and that it
was the plan to lay the tracks on Sat
urday night and Sunday when it would
be impossible for the city to secure an
injunction to prevent the work on the
part of the company. Mayor Scholey
at once notified the police department
to place every available man at the
crossing and that should there be any
attempt to lay tracks every one CON
nected with it should be arrested. The
police took up their vigil at midnight
and watched at the crossing during the
night, but there was nothing doing.
All day Sunday an officer was kept at
the crossing and the fire department
was ordered to be in readiness to turn
out and clear the street with water
should there be any attempt to lay
tracks, The Northwestern men laugh
ed at the precautions taken by the city
and declared repeatedly that there had
been no cause for alarm. The North
western has large force of men in Ke-
nosha at work on the raising of the
tracks of the western division and it
would be an easy matter for the fore
men of the company to throw these
men to work on Grand avenue and lay
the five tracks over the avenue before
the city could make any serious objec-
tions. The police officers of the
city, however, were prepared to make
a big fight to prevent the carrying out
of such plan.

SHOWS BIC DECREASE
Report of Fatalities on Railroads
During the Calendar Year
1903 Was a Surprise
NONE KILLED GREAT BRITAIN

There was silver lining under the
financial cloud of 1907-08 in the form
of a remarkable decrease in the num-
Der of railroad fatalities, according to
a special report made public on Thurs
day by the bureau of railway news
and statistics.
"'There were 1882 fewer fatalities
to passengers and employees in railway
accidents during the calendar year
1908 than in 1907 says the report.
Comparing the returns of 1908 with
those of fiscal years 1906r07, the de-
crease in fatalities was even more
gratifying, being 2,173, or 43.4 per
cent. Of these, the decrease in pas
sengers killed was from $40 to 292, or
nearly 4S.S per cent, and employees from
4,43o to 1866, or 46 per cent
Fatalities to passengers in train ac-
cidents decreased IS per cent in the
calendar year 1908 as compared with
the fiscal years 19o6-07, and 81 per
cent among employees hurt in the same
class of accidents. This decrease among
employees is equalized by the fact that
during the panic their ranks were re
duced by Is per cent laying of.
The railroads of Great Britain went
through the year 1908 without killing
a single passenger in train accident.
