CHILD LABOR LEGISLATION.
Eventually There Will be No Chill
dren Employed in Mills.

The principal recommendation
for legislation to be made to the
general assembly by Commissioner
Watson in connection with the
question Of child labor is to amend
the law so as to do away with all
exemptions for children under IL
years of age, as to widowed
mothers, disabled fathers and or
Ephans. The effect of this is to elm
mate from the mills all children
under IL years OF age.
The child labor committee for
South Carolina, in session at CO.
lumbia a few days ago, made more
sweeping recommendations This
committee would not only eliminate
all children under IL years of age,
there being few in the mills Of this
State now, but would raise the child
labor age gradually through the
next few years so as to entirely
eliminate ultimately the working
of children under IL years of age in
tho mills. The remedy suggested
was by a bill this year raising the
age limit and another for 1913 rails
ing it still further. With regard to
night work also, the committee took
the stand that night work should
be eliminated finally.

Commissioner Watson has re-
ceived a reply from the United
States Secretary Of Agriculture,
James Wilson, to the letter pro-
testing against the corn figures for
this State. Secretary Wilson says
that he will send an agent to inves-
tigate the statistics on corn prcduc-
ton in South Carolina. Also Mr..
Wilson writes that he will make
inquiry of all agencies suggested by
Mr.. Watson and thai he will give
the matter careful attention. The

Taft Hopeful For Passage of Program
Think Congress Will Redeem Party Pledges
InInh CUngIeSS VIII heueoIH HI1J President Discusses Statehood, COnserVa- ton, Railway Legislation and Other Mat ters Pending in House and Senate,

Passaic, N. J., May g. 9.-Speak- ing at a banquet here tonight given by, the Passaic board trade the president discussed the odm- inistration program now before congress. The president said:
 "You have been doubtless advised by your newspaper that. there is certain legislation pend-' ing in congress in which the administration has very intense interest, growing out of the fact that it was promised by the plat form of the republican party and has been recommended by the president to congress, and 1 feel as if it. might not be without some use for me to say what the condition of the legislation is ard what the prospect is of its yas- sage.
 . '-fn the first place.. the bill granting statehood to New Mex ico and Arizona, passed the house some months ago, but it is still pending in the senate. Objection was made to the bill as if passed the hous in regard to certain pro- visions as to elections which dis franchised Mexicans not speak ing English, who had heretofore by reason of length of residence, acquired under previous laws, the right of suffrage. There is some difference, too, beaween the houses as. to the provisions made in respect to the public lands and the payment of the de- bts of the territories.
 There is a hesitation on the part of republicans in the senale to pas a bill which is so likely to add four democrats to the senate. or if not democrats, republicans of that radical type that are ent- inefy out of sympathy with the more conservative notions of the east
 ''Still there is a promise in the platform distinct and clear. that this bill shall pass. and l am very anxious that the party shall meet It's obligations in this regard, and enact, the necessary legislationr I do not think that I shall be dis appointed.

JEcT YESTERDAY.
bEAUVELT ON THE STAND
Questioned as to Selling Shares to
Stockholders at Par When They
Sold Above Par in
Open Market

Chicago, Sept 19.--Alleged stock
intended to turn over TO
stock holders large sums OF money
without putting the companies on rec
ord with any evidence more than pass
ling fair dividends was the subject
|delyei into today by the interstate
commerce commission mere at con.
|tinuation OF the hearing following the
suspension of the general increase in
freight rates to take effect Sept. 18th
Commissioner N b, Bauvelt OF the
Illinois Central was questioned as to
what figures he had furnished. The
commissioner was asked:
You say that in 1891 your capital
stock was s40,00o,000 on 1876 miles OF
road, and in 1910 on only about 1900
miles more, il was sl0s.000.00 Also
lin 1891 the bonded Indebtedness was
only S62,000,000. wnhe in 1910 II had
reached $176,000000. Why was this?'
Blauvelt replied that what appears
as the excess went TO improve the
road and for the purchase of other
roads. .
Commissioner Clements asked if
stock purchases were sold en- open
market.
Blauvelt said most of it was sold to
stockholders at par That there had
been no stock DIVIDEND.
Attorney Frank Lyons asked
III your stock sold at 100 in the
open market and you gave it to your
stakeholder at 100, what became of the
extra so per cent of it's valued"
"It went to the stockholders" was
the reply.
Then the upshot was that your
company added to its capital stock by
letting stock at par. when It needed
money, when it could have sold less
stock on the open market. Isn't that
so?''
Bladvelt was unwilling that such
an impression should prevail and ex-
planned by saying;
Suppose we dumped $l5,000,000 in
stock ON the market at once, 1t would
send its value way below par con
slider it good business policy to sell
where we are sure it would bring par
and keep the control of the road
where it was"

OLD C0RD|AL|TY GONE
Taft Said to Be Determined to Run
In 1912, if Nominated, Even
II Roosevelt is
Against Him.

l
Roosevelt met today at New Haven
lConn.. for the second time since
Roosevelt's return from Africa
Roosevelt sought conference witt
the president. 1t was plain the coo
incl and his advisers were worried over
n the situation in New York state and
came to the president for evident sup.
lport. This the president was glad to
IIgive. He said he sympathized
Heartily with the fight against boss
lism.'
| Taft reiterated his statement made
in a letter to Lloyd c. Griscom,
president of the New York County
Republican committee, at the time OF
the Shernan-Roosevelt controversy
over the temporary Craftsmanship. He
said the letter stated his positionfulIy.
He is standing ON it absolutely.
| Taft announced anew that he favor.
ed direct primaries for the nomina-
! tlon Of congressman AMI state legisla-
tors. Taft is not ready TO admit the
ladyisibility of conventions for the
nomination of state and national Off
cials Taft understands that both
Governor Hughes and Roosevelt are
now practically in accord with mis-
position.
Taft and Roosevelt Hid not discus
the question of the presidency in
1912.
Taft's position Is this.
He Is willing to run If nominated.
II his friends think there is a good
chance of him being reelected Taft
feels they will see to his nomination.
Taft's friends say II the people want
aim for a second term that not even
Roosevelt can prevent the nomina-
ton.
II can be stated that today's meet
ing was barren OF results as to any
better understanding between Taft
and Roosevelt as to national issues.
Roosevelt was thoroughly drenched
lin coming across the Sound In a
motor boat to Stamford. whence he
went to New Albany by automobile
Roosevelt said that at times condi
lions became so interesting that he
didn't have time even to think of sea
sickness.
After the conference was held all
appeared serious. Roosevelt saw
Taft off at the station.
As to 1912 Taft is entirely satisfied
with the position he has taken. Even
though Roosevelt may be against him
II 1oes not disturb him. There is no
doubt. however that the shadow of
1912 hung over today's gathering
There was not the cortliality of old
between the president and the colo
mel.
1t was the first time they had S-~
since the story was given out at Oys |
ter Bay that Roosevelt felt that Taft
had not dealt fairly with him In New
York, and had ssold out to the |
bosses there, in return for pledge
OF delegates in 1912. The president
felt the Injustice of that story keealy,
i is said, and as the result the rela.
tions between him and Roosevelt can
never be the same again.
