HARTFORD. CONN. Sept. 1.-THE
contest between Charles A. Goodwin

FINE FOR MILLS;
PARENTS FO FREE
Trial of First of Child Labor
Cases in Danville Results in
One Conviction.

Commissioner Doherty, of the State
department of labor has been advised
that the corporation court OF Dan
vile has convicted the Danville
Knitting Mills of working children
contrary to the labor laws OF the
State, and has imposed the maximum
fine of $40.
In the cases against E. d. Knowles
and David George, who were accused
OF furnishing false records regarding
the ages of their children. the court
refused to take action.
Representatives of the State labor
bureau introduced statements signed
by Knowles and George which con-
fiicted In that the ages in all the
statements did not correspond, while
school records were copied showing
the children to be- less than IA years
old.
The parents swore. however, that
their children were over II years old,
and for lack Of evidence which would
completely controvert the testimony OF
the parents, the court dismissed the
cases.
These are the first child labor cases
which the department has lost, ac-
cording TO the commissioner, while
many successful prosecutions stand to
its credit, II being the aim of the
commissioner to break up as far as
possible the Illegal employment OF
children in every city and town In the
State.

WILSON WON'T GET
JERSEY NOMINATION
katxenbach's Supporters Predicts
That College Man viii Not
Be Governor.

TRENTON. n, J.. Sept. 1$.---Ioseph
Hon, chairman OF the Mercer county
democratic committee, after a confer
ence of supporters of Frank s. kaix-
enbach for the democratic guberna-
toriaI nomination, to-day gave out the
following statement:
The results I'm Essex and Hudson
counties have not in the least changed
the situation. They were the only
two counties in the State III which
there were contests. and it Was ex-
pected that the organization would
easily control Essex county for Dr.
Wilson. But we have had advices
from ali sections OF the state to-day
and are perfectly satisfied that Or.
Wilson will have lees than Geo votes
on the first ballot. and that that Will
represent his entire strength in the
convention. On the second ballot Mr..
katzanbaeh will he nominated. get
ting the 500 or more delegates who
will be opposed to Or. Wilson. The
claim Of the Wilson supporters that
they will have 500 votes on the first
ballot are so ridiculous as To Indicate
a feeling of desperation. For instance.
they are claiming practically every
thing in South Jersey. Judge Car
row 10 In Trenton to-day. and he
stated emphatically that these claims
are absurd and that the tremendous
sentiment for the nomination of katx-
enbach in the lower section OF the
State cannot be overcome by the Will
son men. Again the Wilson men have
sent broadcast the report that Mayor
Wittpenn viii have only twenty dele
gates In Hudson. whereas he will ac-
tuaily have at least eighty votes. MIR.
Katzenbaeh is the strongest OF any
or the candidates with the rank and
file OF the party and he will be
named on the second ballot"
