Child Labor Bill Debated.

! Under the able leadership of John
Baron Burg, of Bernalillo county, the
child labor bill went through the COM
mittee of the whole in the house with
out a single amendment except those
which had been made by the ways
and means committee. TO which it
had been referred, for the purpose Sf
strengthening ii. The bill is one of
the most advanced measures that has
ever been enacted by any state and
represents the best thought of the
most enlightened students on the sub
ject of child labor legislation, being in
substance a model bill recommended
by the national conference of com
missioners on uniform state laws.
Mr.. Burg, who introduced the bill.
and had charge of it on the fioor of
the house, showed splendid qualities
of leadership. only three times dur
ing the debate was there an effort to
make any material amendments 10
the bill. The first was when Mr.
Catron sought to strike out the pro-
visions, which prohibits any child
under the age OF i5 years from en-
gaging in professional theatrical per-
formances. advancing as an argument
that some Of the best theatrical COM
panies on the road would be kept out
of New Mexico by such a law.
Mr.. Burg. ably seconded by Mr..
l.lewellyn. vigorously resisted the
amendment Mr.. Burg told Of the
great harm TO public morals that had
been done the eastern states by the
appearance of children in vaudeville
and other theatrical performances.
and stated that thirty other states had
adopted similar prohibition. Major
ilewellyn stated that. in his opinion.
this was one OF the most importa Mt
features Of the bill. The amendment
was voted down bY an Overwhelming
ma jority.
Mr. Nichols sought To have stricken
from the bill the provision which pro-
hibits the employment OF anyon > |
under the age OF IS years as a rail- /,
road telegraph operator. arguing that
such work IL not dangerous or onerous.
and that many deserving young men
and women would be deprived OF en-
ployment IL the section was adopted. |
Mr. Burg and Mr.. Mullens argued, on |
the contrary, that the bill is ss much /

Report of Committee Finding in
His Favor Adopted by Lower
Body of the State LegisIa-
ture.
CHILD LABOR BILL is
IN LINE FOR PASSAGE
Important Measure by Burg is
Debated in Committee of
Whole and Made Special Or
der for Thursday.

! Especial Dispatch IN tlc Morning journal.
Santa Fe, n. NJ, April 3O.-Tht
! final passage by the senate of the public
moneys bill, the adoption by the house
/ of the report of the committee OF
! privileges and elections, declaring
Remigio Lopez, democrat, entitled tc
the seat which he has held since the
session began, and the discussion III
committee of the whole in the house
of the Burg child labor bill were the
principal features of today's legisla-
tive session.
Tho public moneys bill had been
considered by the senate in commit
tee of the whole on Monday and all
that was left to do today was to record
the formal vote in its favor There
was little discussion over the passage
of the bill, and only one vote was cast
against it.
As forecasted by The Morning Jour
nal Tuesday, Remigio Lopez will retain
his seat in the house until the end of
the session.
Late Tuesday night, it looked as If
there would be two reports Of the
committee on privileges and elections,
but another meeting of the commit
tee was held this morning, and those
who had threatened to file n minority
report were brought into line.
The report recited the fact that,
after hearing evidence in the contest
and eliminating all Illegal votes
known to have been cast on both
sides, it developed that instead of the
Contestant, Marcelino c. Martinez,
having a majority. the majority of
Mr.. Lopez appeared to be IS instead
of 26, as was shown on the face of
the returns. The motion to adopt the
report of the committee was made by
Mr.. Toombs, an organization republi-
can, and was carried without a dis
senting vote.
1t is not known when reports will
be made on the other two cases, but
it is safe to predict that unless the
committee on privileges and elections
takes early action on them, the cases
will be Withdrawn from their consid-
Grafton and referred to the all-power-
lul committee on ways and means. 1t
Is equally safe to predict that Messrs.
Casados and Martinez the two other
democrats whose seats are being con-
tested, will remain just where they
are for the remainder of the session.
The house combination seems to be
more strongly entrenched now than
ever before, and there is no immediate
LANCER that its power will be weak

OF 1t and did not leave our cabin.
We must have remained there an
hour before becoming fearful. Then
Mr.. Widener went to our son Harry's
room and brought him into our cabin.
A short time later Harry went to the
deck and hurried back and told us
We must go on deck. Mr.. Widener
on deck and aided the officers wha

saw of my husband and son.

Smith Jump from the bridge into the
