SHOW PEOPLE
MANY LEADING CONCERNS ARE
ALREADY MAKING BIDS FOR
BUSINESS AT THE 1912 FAIR
RECEIVED AT LEAST HALF A
DOZEN SUCH LETTERS YES
TERDAY.

That the Pensacola Interstate Fair
has come to be regarded as an estab-
lished enterprise, not only throughout
West Florida, but throughout the
country, is evidenced by the number
of letters that Secretary and General
Manager Lillard is already receiving
from the leading amusement COM
panies throughout the country. Al
ready g. great many of them are sub
nitting propositions for the 1912 fair
and writing for information as to
dates, etc
Mr.. LiIlard received no less than
half a dozen such letters yesterday
from companies located at various
points throughout the entire United
States.
OF course, it is too early to make
any definite decisions as to these
matters, but 1t shows, as stated, that
the fair is now regarded as a perma-
nent institution and one worth going
after by the large amusement COM
panies Of the United States.

SHALL CHILDREN Be
Amateurs ON STAGE
OKLAHOMA COURTS WILL HAVE \
NICE DECISION TO MAKE IN
RECENT TEST CASE.

Tulsa theatrical managers are vi
tally Interested in the case that is to
be tested out i'm the oklahoma courts
soon, to determine where amateurs
coming within the ages covered by the
child labor law may appear on anna
teur nights in vaudeville shows. The
case is TN efirst of its kind in the
country. A test case has been filed
by the state department of labor
against the proprietors OF the Majestic
theater al Oklahoma city and VIII
be taken to the highest court In the
state in order to have the dispute set
tied. In the meantime Tulsa theaters
are ont attempting amateur perform
anCes.
The question involved Is said to be
wether there is a contract of employ
children appearing in cases of this
kind. II is explained that no person Is
solicited or requested to appear on
these nights, tehre simply being an an
nouncement that ION certain nights
amateurs will be permitted to appear
an dcompete for prize. Such persons
as report are then permitted to go
upon the stage and do parts and af-
terward they are under no obligation
to accept the prize
This is said to be the first time this
question has been raised In such a
manner as to reach the higher courts
in the United States. The employment
of professionals under age has been
threshed out in several states, but the
case Of the children being only anna
teurs and only competing for a prize
is said to be still mooted question.
Under a law IN Oklahoma II Is pun
ishable by a fine to employ any girl
under 8 years old. and any boy under
1G years old. between the hours Of 6
p. m. and "A. m. In the case that has
been filed. there is no question of fact.
It is agreed by both sides that the child
appeared. that he or she is within the
ages covered by statute and that
the appearance was within the restrict
Jed hours. The question VIII be tested
solely rpun the law and put up to the
criminal court of appeals in such man
ner as to force a decision that will
settle the matter for all tin1e.

part of the improvement was lost AS a
result OF continued heavy realizing tho
close was steady and last prlces show
ed net gain of from 10 to ~ points,
The market opened strong at an
advance OF from ~ to 20 points with
the new crop positions making new
high records for the season on reports
OF further heavy rains in the belt, un-
favorable flood news from the lower
Mississippi valley, and the firmness OF
late cables from Liverpool.
While realizing had been very heavy
for the past several days and long
accounts have undoubtedly been much
reduced there was continued heavy
profit taking at the advance of this
morning and offerings proved heavy
enough to check the advance around
the opening figures.
Prices reacted further In conse-
quence. but as showing a decline ~
about 6 to IL points from the early
high level, the market again steadied
and fluctuations in the late trading
were irregular with the close 2 or 3

Carruthers, who was formerly "a
