THOUSANDS HEAR
CLARk'S SPEECH
Attendance Yesterday at SUI
burban Island Sets Record
for Labor Day.
RECEIPTS AT GATE LARGE
Considerable Money Turned Into the
Treasury of Workmen's Indus
trial Home Association.

Fully 10000 people turned out yes
terday afternoon at Suburban island to
celebrate Labor day and to hear Hon
Champ Clark make the address OF the
day. The crowd was the largest that
ever attended the Labor day observ-
ance and in the opinion of Charles
Adrian. president of the Davenport
Workmen's Industrial Home assoc1a-
ton under whose auspices the celebra-
ton was held, 1T was the most sue
cessfuI we have ever had"
The fact that Clark, a prominent
presidential candidate next year, was
the main attraction was evidenced by
the fact that after his talk, nearly half
the people on the island left. The
rain which threatened had something
to do with the exodus, however.
PROFITS CONSIDERABLE.
An admission fee to the park was
charged and the receipts from the gate
and from the concessions netted a con-
siderable sum for the treasury of the
industrial association.
The greater part of the program of
amusements had to be abandoned be
cause of the rain which fell soon aft
er the termination of the speaking. A
ball game and the prize bowling was
completed, however. In the latter
contest, Fred Vollmer and H. Wooden
were the only prize winners from this
side of the river. Vollmer getting sec
ond place and Wooden fifth
FAVOR PENSIONS FOR AGED.
While the main program of talking
was in progress, Representative Henry
Boettger presented a resolution which
was adopted apparently unanimously
and which was an endorsement of the
bill recently introduced in congress by
Representative Berger, the Milwaukee
socialist. This bill provides for pen
sions for men after they become aged.

A. NJ. Bruner, who is to be identi-
ned with the men and religion for
ward movement during the coming

work of the Industrial Evangelistic
Foundation with which he has been

preparatory to inaugurating his new
work. The postponed meeting of
the foundation which was to have

rectors of the foundation and it is
understood that they have given their
consent to the arrangement. The var
tous Sunday schools and the inter
national Y. NJ. c. A. are giving the
entire time of their religious work
secretaries to the men and religion
movement, but inasmuch as the in
dustrial foundation is smaller as
we'll as a younger organization they
did not feel able to give the entire
services of Mr.. Bruner to this move
ment and have therefore made an
arrangement whereby each organiza-
ton is to pay half of Mr.. Burners
expense.
OPENS AT ST. PAUL.
Mr.. Bruner opens up his work at
st. Paul on Sept. %, when three
teams of the movement will meet
for eight days for the purpose of
mapping out the campaign and con-
Quoting a practical school of train
ing. The other team will start the
season in Philadelphia about Nov. 1.

partment of labor in the Presbyter-
ian church, who will be the social

his wife riding even if she had not
suggested the spin" Beattie admitted
that his mind was not made up at
that time
The prosecution. in its cross examin-
alton. gave particular attention to two
points in the previous testimony of the
prisoner. If the accused had on the
night of the murder, a light fastened
10 the rear of the machine, why could
he not see the highwayman to the
rear of the car; or if the prisoner had
grapped with the assassin and succeed
ed in wrestling the shotgun from him,
why did the highwayman fee with Be

DENIES STORY OF COUSIN.
Denial after denial from the prisoner
as Prosecutor Wendenburg questioned
him concerning the alleged purchase
OF a shotgun from him by his cousin,
Paul Beattie, on the Saturday before
the murder and the testimony of the
latter as to the confession in which
Henry is alleged to have exclaimed:
Il wish to God l hadn't done it. l
wouldn't do IT again for a million dol
lars
Beattie disclaimed any connection
with the purchase of the gun and
knowledge of the transfer Of any gun
by Paul TO him, saying he never saw
the fatal shotgun until the night it was
raised by the highwayman on the Mid
lothian turnpike.

careful and employs scientific and well
protected machinery and that he, there
fore, should not be made responsible
for the accidents occurring in another
shop because OF poor and careless man
agement and this contingency is specif-
ically provided for in the act in Sec. 4
thereof, where it is provided that the
commission may advance the classi6ca-
ton OF risks and premium rates of any
establishment or work that is unduly
dangerous in comparison with any like
establishment or work. We intend to
keep an account with every industry in
the state and will soon ascertain whether
or not any establishment is unduly
dangerous or hazardous in connection
with any like establishment because of
poor and careless management. If so,
the rate and class will be raised.
The law provides that in case Of
death the maximum amount to be paid
to the dependents of deceased work
men shall be $4,000, and in case Of
permanent partial disability the maxi
mum is $500. The act further pro-
vides that if any employer defaults in
his payments to the accident fund and
any injury occurs to the workmen dur
ting the period Of such default, the en-
ployer shall be liable to suit by the
workmen and all the employers usual
legal defenses shall be abolished. This
provision (Sec. Of the act) makes a
default or delinquency under the act
extremely perilous.
We feel that such an important piece
of legislation reasonably designed to
ameliorate the existing conditions
should be given fair test before it is
pronounced to be unreasonable and
vicious. And furthermore, we believe
that within two years after the dehci-
ences and imperfections of the present
law are remedied that in no event will
the people of this state, more particu-
larly the employees and employers per-
nit a repeal of the same. In my
judgement, the movement OF Work
mems Compensation in the United
states has attained such proportions and
is based upon such sound economic,
industrial, social and humanitarian
grounds that within a period of very
few years every state of the American
union will have adopted in some form
or another this principle.
In conclusion, l may say that if this
law is properly and successfully admin
istered and vigorously supported by the
press of the state as it has been up to
this time, it will mark the introduction
of new industrial, economic and So
cial era in this state and will place it in
the vanguard of the most progressive
states OF the Union. 1t will not only
ameliorate the conditions of the work
ingmen and their families, but will re-
duce the enormous court machinery OF
the state, raise the standard Of living
among a certain class in the state and
produce a greater industrial efficiency
which will operate to the advantage
OF all.

WEDDING GLOVE FOR BRIDE
Third Finger Is Left Unstitched so
That the Ring Can Be Slipped
On.

A happy era has dawned for the
bride at the fateful moment when inc
ring is about to be placed on her I'm
ger.
Instead of the usual struggle to re
move her left hand glove she VIII
now be able to uncover the third nm
ger without effort and without losing
her composure.
This delightful result is to be OBJ
|, tanned by an ingenious wedding
glove" device. The inside seam on
the third finger of the left glove is un
stitched, so that all that the BRIDE
need do is to slip her finger through
the slit to receive the ring. The fin
ger can just as easily be slipped back
into the glove after the ceremony.
|: The device will be greatly appre'
ciated not only by the bride, but also
( by the nervous bridegroom.
The story of the origin Of the wed
ding glove has come to light. Some
time ago a girl who had lost her right
arm in the hunting field asked for
Single wedding glove.
She remarked on the awkwardness
of having to remove her glove with
the. help Of her teeth. and it was then
seen that matters would be greatly
facilitated for the bride If she only
had to uncover the ring finger.
J The experiment was so successful
that it aroused the interest of other
prospective brides, who saw in it 4
boon which would save them from
the usual difficulties Of removing 4
whole glove in the moment when the
ring is about to be put on.-Exchange
