RIBBLE ORDERS ARRESTS
Deputy state Factory Inspector
Causes Labor Employers to BE
Hailed Into Court.

Deputy State Factory Inspector RibbIe
yesterday made good his threat to make
kso arrests In Council Bluffs for violation
fof the state factory laws. one for the en-
Nployment OF child labor and the other for
permitting set-screws on maohiney shaft
ing to remain exposed where clothing of
workmen might be caught in the revolv-
ing shafts.
Both informations were filed In the
office OF Justice J. X. Cooper. The first
charged Charles w. Putnam. proprietor Of
the Council Bluffs Basket factory at First
avenue and TWenty-second street with
violating section e477 OF the Iowa code pro-
hIbiting the employment Of children under
Il years of age. Inspector Ribbie found
a number OF girls happily and congenially
employed in the basket factory doing light
work in connection with the making Of
fruit baskets. He took only two cases. two
little Henderson girls, aged 10 and IS Mr..
Putnam had completely overlooked the fact
that the child labor law prevailed in Iowa
although he was constantly reading Of its
application in other states and approving
It. He Immediately came into Justice
Cooper's court and entered a plea OF guilty
and was assessed a fine Of s. and costs.
The other information called for the cita-
ton Of w. II. Treynor, manager OF the
Evans laSsndry on South Main street. His
attention had been called to the existence
OF exposed lag bolts but had forgotten 20
protect them. His place OF business was
nearer the justices office and he was the
first to appear with confession OF guilt
in the absence OF County Attorney Capell
who drew the informations Justice Cooper
assessed rreynor a fine OF 81 and he paid
and quickly disappeared. The county at
torney came In q moment later and pro-
tested against the smallness OF the ine.
aud It was raised in the next case.
Some arrests are predicted In connection
with imperfect compliance with the fire
escape laws. II is said the school board
IS liable to get roast In this connection.
Additional arrests are also promised for
violating the child labor law. Probation
officer Herner has been accompanying the
inspector in some OF his Investigations.

Axel Johnson, wife of a farmer living
near here, locked herself and her six
little children in their home and set
the house on fire. All were burned.
Mr.. Johnson was working in al field
some distance from the house when
the tragedy occurred.
Neigk5ors believe Mrs. Johnson
locked and barricaded the doors and
nailed down the windows of the house.
Then saturating the room with oil, she
applied a match. Neighbors rushed to
the house, but rescue. was impossible.
The bodies were found in corner OF
the living room under the smoulderlng
mass, where they had huddled togeth-
er when the flames surrounded them.
