they are of the opinion that the present
law would meet all requirements Of
statutory regulation on the subject, if
It were amended as proposed in a bill
introduced at their instance to the
6ixty-first Congress.
This bill changes the latest hour when
ch!Idren may sell merchandise and
, newspapers on the street from 10 to $50
o'clock. The occasion of this recom-
gnendation, they say, Is that their at

Children In Theaters.
Section 1s Of the present law, which
permits the employment of children in
theatrical exhibitions upon approval Of
one Of the Commissioners, is omitted
from the bill introduced by Congress-
man Roberts. 3. "'
There are reasons both in favor Of
and against such legislation" the Com
missioners say in letter to- Congress
man Ben johnson, chairman of the
House District Committee. THE dis
cretion given by this section is suscept-
ibie to abuse by the opportunity it af-
In cheap theaters, which Is liable to
interfere with their school work by
the late hours such employment in
wolves, and to expose them to undesir-
employment of this kind is frequently
obtained by mothers and guardians of
children, who thus derive a material
portion Of the means needed for their
support. There also are occasional in
stances in which the employment of
children in the larger theaters is es-
sential to the proper staging of plays,
and where the exposing of children to
hardship or other injurious influences
is minimiZed. The Commissioners have
no reports tending to show that any
of the permits issued under Section 16
have entailed hurtful consequences. 1t
IS, therefore, for Congress to determine
the advisability Of resembling the legis-
lation contained in this section"
In Messenger Service.
The bill fixes the minimum age OF
persons employed dn the messenger
service between 9 p. m. and a. m. al
twenty-one years. The present law fixes
the minimum at sixteen years.
The Commissioners say it has been
represented to them that there would
be great difficulty in obtaining. persons
twenty-one years of age for messenger
service, and that even II 1t were pos.
sible the men would lack the activity
and interest displayed by the boys, and
deprive the messenger companies and
their patrons Of the expedition essential
in the delivery of messages.

Washington Chess and Checker
Club Notes.
RESULT is STILL IN DOUBT

Things have happened in the B di-
vision of the gambit tournament during
the past week Molkow, who had the
remarkable score OF 17h to III, took
slump as he neared the end Of his sched-
ule and lost two games. one to- KistIer
and one to WoottOn; this leaves him
tied for lost games with Rial, both now
having lost three and one-half points:
Rial, however, has five games still to
play an Of which are against strong
players. while Molkow has only one
game. and that with Rzal. This game
will be- watched with interest as~it will
be RizaEs last chance to make a fight
for first place.
Wootton, who got a bad start, has
cauaed something Of a surprise by pull
ing up to a position where he has a good
chance; out Of his last seven games only
half a point has been scored against
him, Weeks, Kistler and Molkow going
down before him in order.
In division A three or four games have
been played during the week, but as yet
1t cannot be doped out where first prize
will land.
Walker now has such a commanding
lead in the match for the District cham
pionship over Zapoleon that victory APP
