the clause in the new law which re-

labor aud industry at Harrisburg show
that $3.50 minors are employed in
Pennsylvania and, according to the asso-
citation. 81 900 of them will be lcgislated
out OF employment on January /. In
cluding stores and offices the bulletin
predicts that $4,000 children will be af-

These figures will be increased to
$4,000. says the report. because of laws

The trouble between the governor and

JACKSON BOY, 4, Is
RUN over BY AUTO
Joe VESSEL is Believed to Have
Been Fatally Hurt by
Machine.

Joe VESSEL, the 4-year-old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. William VESSEL of Jack
son, was run down and probably fatal
ly injured late yesterday afternoon by
anauto drivenby Wade Clodfelter. The
accident occurred on Main street, in
front of the furniture and undertak-
ing establishment of Mr.. VESSEL.
The child was crossing the street
from the Wagner bakery to his faith
er's store when he was struck by the
machine. He did not see the motor
car until it was bearing down upon
him, and he seemed almost paralyzed
with fright.
The fender knocked the baby down
and one wheel passed over the boys
head, inflicting what is believed to be
a fatal injury.
Mr. Clodfelter, who made a heroic
effort to stop the car, was grief-strick-
en- over the accident. He stated that
he was driving his car up the west
bridge, and turned the corner at the
Vessel furniture store, when the child
ran in front of his machine. He first
tried to steer the car to the opposite
side of the street, but as he did so the
lad became confused and again step
ped in front of the motor.
The accident caused CONSERVATION
in the County Seat. A great crowd
gathered in front of the machine. The
baby was carried into his fathers
store and a physician was hastily
summoned.
Grave doubts were expressed of the
lads recovery, although the extent of
the injury was not determined last
night The scalp was badly torn and
it is believed that heavy fracture of
the skull was sustained.

Son of Mrs. r. T. GibOney
Took Poison in Los Ange-
les Tuesday.
LOST ALL HIS MONEY
IN BUSINESS VENTURE
Body Prepared for Shipment to
This City for
Burial.

A telegram from Los Angeles to
The Tribune last night states positive
ly that c. H. Walker, formerly of
Cape Girardeau, committed suicide
there Tuesday morning.
This message contradicts the report
received yesterday by relatives, to the
effect that the young man died of tu-
berculoSis.
A telegram received last night in
Los Angeles contained instructions to
prepare the body for shipment to this
city for burial.
The message received by The Trib-
une stated that Walker ended his life
by poison and that there was found
on his body written instructions to
notify R. T. Giboney in this city of
his act.
The deceased is the son of Mrs
Robert T. Giboney of this city, and a
nephew of Louis B. Houck. He has
been in the West for about five years,
and has invested considerable money
in business undertakings in California.
His last venture was the opening of
restaurant in San Monica, Cal, in
which he is said to have sunk several
thousand dollars.
The venture proved a failure and
the young man lost everything he had
put into the business: He is said to
have become respondent over his re-
verses, and it is believed that this
failure is responsible for his death.
He had appeared melancholy for
several days, and had spent much of
his time in the solitude of his room.
When he failed to appear at his famil-
lar haunts Tuesday morning, his ac-
quaintances did not give the matter
serious thought, but later in the aft
ernoOn when it was learned that he
had not left his room during the day,
an investigation was begun.
His door was locked, and when it
was forced open, he was found fully
dressed, lying across the bed. An
empty phial labeled poison was found
by his side. He was unconscious when
discovered and when physicians were
summoned they pronounced that life
was extinct.
A coroner's inquest was held, at
which a verdict of suicide was rem
dered.
The body was taken to the under
taking parlors of Booth & Fitch,
where it is being prepared for ship
ment to this city.

DREDGING MACHINE
DIGS UP ALLIGATOR
Baby Found in Swamps Submerg-
ed is Slain But Will be
Stuffed.

Laborers employed on the dredging
work near Arbor, reported last night
on their arrival in this city that one
of the excavating machines yesterday
morning uncovered an alligator al
most three feet in length.
The reptile was discovered in the
line of one of the bitches where it en-
ters the Old Field, few miles south
of Arbor. The creature had been SUBJ
merged in the Oozy mire to a depth of
about Is feet.
When exposed to the atmosphere it
appeared for a few moments to be in
a semi-torpid condition, but when a
party Of men assembled to look at it,
the dormant tendencies vanished
quickly and it attempted to charge the
assemblage. 1t had been hurt when
struck by the big excavating bucket
and was unable to move with its
natural rapidity.
In its crippled condition it was un-
able to climb up the ditch embank-
ment, and was held prisoner for sew
eral hours before it was finally shot
and killed.
The hide was taken by Ben Rambo,
a machine operator, who will send it
to a taxidermist and have it mounted.

SPEEDING AUTO IS TIMED
DIR. Cunningham Charged With Run.
ming Too Fast by Police.

Upon report of Patrolman George
Talley, DIR. Rex. E. Cunningham was
yesterday directed by Chief of Police
Hutson to appear at the Police Court
on the charge of exceeding the speed
limit with his automobile.
DIR. Cunningham employed Attorney
Thomas F. Lane to, defend him, and
as the lawyer was compelled to attend
court in Jackson yesterday afternoon
it was necessary to postpone the hear
ing, which was set for Saturday morn
ing at 10 o'clock.
Officers Talley and Whitener stated
that the physician drove at danger

Broadway. One of them used stop
watch in estimating the rate which
they claim was found to be in viola
tion of the ordinance.
DR.. Cunningham last night advised
a Tribune representative, that he had

Still who came in on the train and
he returned from the station to his
office but that he did not travel at
any excessive rate, and in fact travel
