FOR WELFARE OF THE CHILD
Federal Legislation Safest Plan to
Conserve Nations Child Life.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
New Orleans.-Federal legislation
as the safest and most certain means
to conserve the child life of the nation
and rob the country's industries Of
its blacklist horror-the emaciated,
stunted boy and girl slave-was yigor-
ously advanced by able speakers at
the sessions of the Tenth Nationa!
Conference on Child Labor under the
auspices Of the national child labor
committee, and a general advance
was made toward the goal for which
so many of the leading thinkers of
the time have been striving.
The sessions were largely attended,
particularly the night session, and
while the discussions made evident a
lack of knowledge of general condi-
tons obtaining in the states as
whole upon the part of the delegates,
it was nevertheless apparent that the
representative men and women had
gathered from all parts of the country
not only to talk, but to act.

TO RUN RAILROAD
TO new OIL LANDS
NEW LINE CHARTERED TO CON-
Meet WITH LOG TRAM
FROM MANSFIELD.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Mansfield.-The transportation prob
lem to the De Soto oil field has been
solved. Just before oil was found
near Mansfield the Frost-J Johnson
Lumber Company had procured the
right Of way for its tram road from
its saw mill here to the oil field, and
when oil was discovered it rushed
work on the line. When it reached
Naborton and tried to build the road
en- to the oil field the Majors inter
ests found that the road did not have
the right of way through forty-acre
tract of land belonging to John H.
Majors.
The Frost,Johnson people were en-
Joined from passing over the ]. H.
Majors land, and as they were not a
chartered railroad they could not con-
denim the right of way.
A new railroad has been chartered
to build line from Naborton on
through the oil field. This road will
run its trains over the Frost-Johnson
tram to Mansfield, and the depot, in
stead Of being at Naborton, will be
several miles beyond and a town will
be built at that point. The tram road
having no right to build and manipuJ
late depots, ETC., will not stop at Ma
borton except to load logs. The charter
of this new railroad has been pre-
pared, all of the stock taken and the
work Of building will begin at once
and will be completed in about two
weeks.
The new town will be the first regu-
lar depot from Mansfield and the only
shipping point in the oil field. Ma
horton, which is a new town, built
when the oil boom and the enjoined
railroad started, will be practically
isolated as result of the injunction
and the chartering of a new line.

Baton ROuge.-SOme time ago Assis-
tant Attorney General Barrow began
an investigation into the car situation
on the Illinois Central Railroad for
handling Strawberries and early vege-
tables from Louisiana points to North
ern, Eastern and Western markets. A
conference was arranged between the
shippers and the officials of the ex-
press companies by Mr.. Barrow, which
was also attended by Railroad Com
missioners Shelby, Taylor and John T.
Michel. Most of the differences be-
tween the shippers and the company
were settled, but the question of the
number of refrigerator cars was left
for further investigation.
Mr.. Barrow received the following
letter from G. C. Taylor, general man
ager of the American Express Com
pany:
81 have never had a more intricate
subject to handle, but as l stated to
you at our New Orleans conference,
we expected to have from 90 to Is per
cent additional equipment this year
over and above what we have ever
had before in that service. It has
come out that way, only little bet
ter, SO that, barring something that
is wholly unforeseen, we will probably
have to exceed so per cent additional
equipment over and above any pre-
vious year, and a goodly portion Of
the cars will be of larger size, heav-
Ter capacity, and in every way SUI
perior.
Il have not given this information
out, feeling that it should more prop.
erly emanate from you. If, therefore,
you will be kind enough to advise
those interested in bringing this mat
ter to your attention and which you
afterwards, and in very courteous
manner afforded upon opportunity
to discuss with you, it seems to me
that it should reach them in that way;
and l believe it will indicate to you
and the associates and individuals
that we have their welfare always in
mind and desire in every way to CO.
operate for the success Of their in
dustry, fully realizing that our inter-
ests are mutual"

BRIDGE ACROSS
THE MISSISSIPPI
PRELIMINARY PLANS FOR FINAN-
cling 100000 STRUCTURE
AT NEW ORLEANS.
Western Newspnper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
New Orleans.-Preliminary plans for
financing a $6,OOOOOO bridge across
the Mississippi at New Orleans have
made sufficient progress to insure sue
cess, according to Arthur MCGuirk,
New Orleans attorney, who returned
from New York. Mr.. McGuirk went
to New York for the Dock Board to
handle legal details connected with
the issuance and transfer of the 3d.
900, 900 Of cotton warehouse bonds re-
Gently sold by the board. While in
New York he took up with financiers
and engineers the bridge project. Re
turned home, he says the project is
feasible from a structural and finan-
cial standpoint, and will be put
through.
Mr., MCGuirk proposes to have the
bridge publicly owned and publicly
operated. He suggests that it should
be handled jointly by the Dock Board
and Public Belt Commissions He says
that New Orleans traffic would easily
support it, No trouble will be ex-
perienced in getting the money neces-
sary to finance the bridge, he said. A
bond issue handled much as Dock
Board issues have been handled would
readily sell, he believes.
The plan is to build the bridge in
the upper section of the city. Pre-.
liminary plans call for a structure six
and one-half miles long, including ap-
proaches. The total length of the
steel structure would be two and one
tenth miles. The length of the main
channel span would be 1,066 feet;
length Of shore spans GOT feet; total
length of main span 2,280 feet; ex-
IRENE height of towers above clear
176 feet; clear height of span above
high water s. feet; range between
low and high water 10 feet; depth at
low water 100 feet; depth of founda-
tons below river bed 70 feet; total
height of structure $50 feet.
Il have letter from Col. Elmer
L. Corthell of st. Louis, who helped to
build the Eads bridge at st. Louis,
and assisted likewise in the jettes,
approving the project and pronounc,
ing it feasible both from an engineer
ing and financial standpoint" Mr.. Nc
Guirk said. HE expressed regret that
there is tendency to build bridge
at a point above New Orleans. Such
a step would work harm to the port
of New Orleans.
"The structure could be finished
within five years from the time work
began. As far as feasibility from a
financial standpoint goes, st. Louis
supports three bridges and is plan
ming fourth; Memphis has supported
one so well a second is in contempla-
ton. New Orleans can certainly sup.
port one"

Ell Verjel, Durango-The real att
tack on TOrreon began Monday when
General Villa occupied Lerdo practi-

o'clock in the afternoon began the
attack on Gomez Palacio.
The three towns are practically one
in a commercial and social sense and
are connected by four miles Of street
railway, but Torreon proper repre-
sents the military stronghold where
the main federal force is gathered
under General RefugiO Velasco.
Gomez Palacio and Lerdo are with
out important natural defenses and
in previous revolutions never have
been seriously defended. The real
test of strength is expected to come
soon when Villa hurls his force against
the defenses Of Torreon. On this bat
tie it is conceded hinges the fate of
the revolution.

Mermejilio, Durango, MeX-Sunday
was observed not exactly as a day Il
rest, but as day of preparation Gen
eral Toribio Ortega, who is in com
mand of the extreme front of Villas
center, occupied Elverjel early Sun
day morning and has pushed his out
posts within sight of Gomez Palacio
Elverjel, where the main body of his
brigade rests, is five miles north Of
Gomez Palacio, or nine miles distant
from the Plaza Principal of Torreon
itself.
General Aguirre Eugenio Benavides
and General Maclovio Herrera haye
been out of communication most of
the day, but were reported to be adj
vancing on Matamorras, an important
railroad point on the Torreon Tlahual-
lilo line, fifteen miles from Torreon,
giving them complete control of the
railroad situation eastward from Tor
reon.
General Rosalie Hernandez and Gen.
eral Trinidad Rodriguez have moved
southwest from Noe, forming junction
with General Tomas Urbina's brigade
preparatory to concentrated attack
on Lerdo, the shoe factory suburb of
Torreon, which is said to be strongly
fortified.
Villas progress has been slow be-
cause it was necessary to repair rail-
road tracks and bridges. Early Sat
urday, however, the road was open
from Yermo, where the troops have
been modifying, to Mapimi and Ber-
bijillo, which are only a few miles
north of Torreon.
AT these two cities, after suffering
long hours in freight cars, where they
were stuffed like figs in a box. and
with little water, the troops detrained
and in the intense heat formed in
columns.
There was little loss of time in
plunging into the desert, some mount
ed and other on foot. Crest clouds
OF Tine desert dust marked their prog
ress over hummocks of cacti crowned
with sand and through dry water
courses. Great tank wagons, laden
with the water supply which has been
Villas greatest problem, rumbled il

Once Gomez Falacio and the noun

rebel troops may move through
valley following the street car line to
Torreon till the very gates of the city
are reached.
1t is probable, however that they
will have to fight to cross Nazas river,
which runs between the two cities.
The whole valley is reported to be
in state of defense with barbed wire
entanglements and trenches, irriga-

been flooded while others that have
been left dry will shelter the Huerta
soldiers. Federal batteries every
where occupy the hills which close
