SIXTY HOURS PER WEEK
TO LABOR IN COTTON MILLS

Following a public meeting at which
nearly score spoke in regard to the pro-
posed new labor laws, the general judi
ciary committee of the senate Wednes-
day afternoon went into executive ses-
sion and reported adversely on the Tar
yer house bill, which called for 10
hours a day labor in cotton and wooden
mills and recommended that tn chill OF
Senator W. T. Roberts. of the 18th, pro-
viding for 50 hours a week labor, do pass.
Vice Chairman j. Il. Sheppard, Of the
18th, presided over the meeting.
The house bill of Mr.. Tarver of Whit
field, set the number of working hours in
cotton and wooden mills at 10 hours
day. and prohibited employees from
working overtime.
Senator Roberts bill specifies so hours
as the number OF working hours per
week and allows employees the privilege
of working overtime so that they may
put in enough extra hours to have half

Paris Is JubiIant at
{ Siqninq of Treaties

PARIS, Aug. 3.-The signing of the
treaty is hailed in France as meaning
the extension of a movement in all
countries for the reduction of arma-
ments and the absolute prevention of
wars. The general view is that a tre-
mendous impetus has been given to
the world wide peace campaign.
The Figaro. in long study of the sit
uation resulting, declares that if other
nations do not join the movement those
who have pledged for arbitration should
adopt the principle of boycotting by in
sorting a clause in the international
agreements providing that they shah
suspend all relations of commerce.

nesday evening:
The Glidden tour of 1911 will
take place in October and be run
over the route of the National

Returning to the original idea
Of the donor of the trophy, the
tour, appealing particularly to
owners, will be conducted under
regulations demanding reliability
and regularly, without reference
to rigid technical restrictions.

1t having been made plainly APP
parent that an endurance tour for
the Glidden trophy promoted PR

wanted, and it likewise having
been made clear that the makers
of automobiles were no longer IN
terested in an exceedingly techni-
cal contest. the contest board OF

tie national tour, which is sure to
pronoL- ed success, the de-

Butler of the contest board, and
Chairman Batcheldar of the exc

represented by Edwin P. Ansley
and Maj. John S. Cohen, who are
two of the most energetic expon-
ents of highway improvement in
the entire south. H. B. Race, an
other good roads advocate, spoke
for Jacksonville.
IMPETUS TO GOOD ROADS,.
In fact, it was the impetus
which would be given to good

caused the change to a southern

The 1911 tour will be conducted
under grade w. of the A. A. A.
reliability rules with practicable
daily running schedules, possible
of accomplishment by any tourist.

PORT AU PRINCE. Haiti. Aug. a.
Haiti today is without president or
organized government. The capitol of
the negro republic is occupied by two
rival revolutionary parties headed re-
spectively by Cincinnatus Leconte, a
former minister Of the interior, and An
tenor Firmin, who deserted his post as
join the revolt against President Simon.
A committee of public safety, oom-
posed equally of Firminists, Leconteists
and neutrals. has been organized
through the initiative of the diplomatic
corps and is maintaining public order
German and British marines have
been landed to aid the provisional au-
thorities. During the night there were
attempts to pillage and it was necessary
to shoot several of the looters Ener-
getic measures prevented any serious
outbreak.
Antoine Simon. the deposed president,
who was compelled to withdraw from
the city yesterday. was still today on
board the American schooner Bradford
c. French, which is anchored in the
harbor under the protection of the guns
of the American cruiser Chester ST.
mon awaits the arrival of fruit steam
er for Kingston, Jamaica.
His boarding of the schooner yester-
day afternoon was due to a misunder-
standing. He wished to sgo ahead the
American cruiser Chester, but was di-
rected by the American officers to the
American cruiser Des Moines, the senior
ship. Simon, failing to understand, wen.
aboard the schooner. The craft moved
off into the roadstead to where the
Haitine warship III Decembre" was an
hored. Late last night the schooner
moved over close to the Chester and a
guard was sent from the cruiser on
board the schooner to protect her and
Simon.
Following the debarkation of Simon
late yesterday there was an attempt to
pillage the business house of Makhlouff
& Co., the proprietors of which are
Syrians The attempt was put down
by force under the direction of the
committee of public safety. -Four OF
the rioters were shot mn the spot
Some of the soldiers also refused to
lay down their arms under orders and
there were occasional conflicts between
the soldiers and civilians. It is esti-
mated 40 persons were killed during the
occupation of the city by the revolu-
tionists and in the subsequent rioting.
At 10 O'Clock last night band of
armed men made an attack upon the
custom house and also attempted to
raid some nearby houses.
The attack was met by a force of po-
lice and soldiers Six of the pillagers
were shot. This put an end to this out
break.
