AcTREss LEAPS no DEATH

Mrs. George Secor, known on the
stage as Mabel Cullin, leaped to death
in spectacular manner, from the
fifth floor of the Revere Hotel, North
Clark street.
Nervous hyste-ia, caused by hard
work at rehearsal of new play, it is
believed, caused her to end her life.
A note addressed to her husband, a
theatrical man, at Appleton, Wis,
was found in her room.

OSCAR NELSON ATTACKS CHILD LABOR

forced If a mother has a child earn
ing SIS week under the present law,
her pension is reduced that amount.
She is then forced, through actual
necessity, to send one of the other
children to work. AS soon as she
endeaYors to earn little more
money for actual necessities, she
loses her pension. If she takes in
washing, the amount earned is
promptly deducted from the pension.
In short, she must either be willing
to live on the pension allowed her,
no matter what denials it entails, or
she loses the pension.
There are no actual benefciaries
under the mothers pension law as it
is at present administered.
In the five minute talks that fol-
lowed one speaker made the state
ment that when child is born, it's
parents wouldn't take, a million for
it, but when it is IA years old it is
sold to the Boston Store or some 9TH
er store for $3.50.
An effort was made to introduce a
resolution condemning the treatment
of Charles F. Meyer in the Calumet
district, but was ruled out of order
by the chairman.

of age, many physically unfit to
work, hundreds of whom should have
been sent to hospital or sanitarium
instead of into the factories and
stores, obtained school certificates
this year, said Oscar F. Nelson, chief
factory inspector of the state of Hi
nOis, at the Grace church open forum
last night, while speaking on Child
Labor in Illinois,"
These children, compelled to work
in tender years, are unfit physically
for the battle of life when they reach
manhood and womanhood," he de-
clared.
The law gives us no power to act
in these cases. Also, we are handi-
capped by insufficient appropriations.
1.-THE interests opposed to the en-
fOrcement of the law see to it that
we are crippled in enforcing the law.
l have only 80 inspectors and have
acts to enforce. could keep so
inspectors busy on the child labor act
alone.
Few children are kept in school
after they are Is, and it is actual
necessity that is behind their appH-
cation for school certificates.
1--WE would prohibit any kind of
labor of a child under 16 years of
age. If the manufacturers claim they
cannot stand the competition of 9TH
er states, federal legislation is neces-
sary.
cat the present time only one
state, Montana, has a 16 year child
labor law; three states have Is
year limit, most of the states IA

states permit children as young as

HUERTA DIDN'T PROMISE
NOT TO BE A CANDIDATE
AMERICAN CHARGE D'AFFAIRES
UPSETS THE CALCULATIONS OF
STATE DEPARTMENT.

WASHINGTON. Sept IA new
new complication has been brought
into the Mexican situation by the
statement given out in Mexico City
last night by Nelson O'Shaughnessy.
charge daffaires of the American en-
bassy In that city, denying that he had
received any verbal or other assur-
ances that Huertl would NOT be a cam
didate for an elective term in the
presidency. Mr.. 'Shaughnessy' s
statement caused amazement here to-
day, and was taken as evidence that
the state department and the en-
eassy in Mexico City are not working
entirely in harmony, or with com
plete understanding OF the happenings
in Washington and Mexico City,
Mr. O'Shaughnessy's statement now
raises a question of fact between the
EN- hassy and the administration in
Washington. Following the return of
President Wilson to Washington last
week, il became known that the adj
ministration considered Huerta abso-
lutely bound not TO enter the race for
the presidency in the elections to be
held next month. 1t was stated In the
highest official circles that not only
did the administration consider that
Huerta had given in the second Gam
boa note assurance that he would not
be a candidate for president, but also
that verbal pledges "of the most posi-
tive and definite" character had been
given Mr.. O'Shaughnessy by Minister
Gamboa.
Minister Gamboa promptly denied
this statement made by the Washing
ton administration. Mr.. Onslaught
