DOWNES TAKES

SCHOOL CENSUS
Sends Information Blank to
Firms Employing Children
- Between II and Is

To every individual or firm employ
ing youngsters between the ages of
fourteen and sixteen years--the school
o. &c limit--Dr. +. +. Downes, school
superintendent, has sent out circular
letter and an information blank re-
lating to the continuation schools as
REQUIRED by the new child labor act.
The superintendent referred the
matter TO the School Board at it's re-
cent meeting and DR.. Downes was
directed TO look UP the necessary data.
/ ne schoo! authorities plan to inaugu-
rate a system of schools for the youths
OF both sexes in their employ, but be-
fore any definite steps in this direction
may be taken DR.. Downes wants. to be
fully informed on the number of chill
dren, present conditions, etc. CEN
Sus OF the young employees of school
&c in the various factories, stores and
other Adjustments will be compiled
first.
The Laws Requirements
N his letter DR.. Downes calls atten-
ton TO the laws requirements as fol-
lows:
The new law also contenplates
the establishment by the school
district OF special continuation
schools in which the general and
special education Of minors be-
tween fourteen and sixteen years
VIII be continued and extended
during employment. Such minors
will be required to attend the con
tinuation school eight hours per
week, thus leaving but forty-three
hours as the maximum number of
hours per week they may other
wise be employed.
BY recent decision of the At
torney General all employment
certificates issued prior to Janu-
arY 1. 1916, are valid and will
continue to be valid until their
legal expiration, but minors who
hold such certificates will be re-
quired to attend the continuation
school, in accordance with the
new law, and must also comply
with the new law with respect to
hours of employment.
The information which the school
authorities are seeking for the COM
pilation of the census contains the
following questions:
Will you continue to employ minors
between fourteen and sixteen years of
age under the new law? How many
now employed? Specify one or two
leading features of minors occupa-
ton. What vocational work do your
minor employees most need? What day
in school week can they best be re-
lieved to attend school?
The hour that is most convenient TO
employers is requested and the num-
Der of days in which the eight hours
each week may be divided. For in
stance. the youngster may be allowed
10 put in his whole eight hours in one
day, four hours i'm two days, two hours
in four days. and so on.

CANAL ORDINANCE
TO GO IN MONDAY
Railroad May Fill Canal For
Privilege to Cross Three
Streets at Grade

Action will be taken at a special
meeting of Steeltons borough council
Monday evening on the ordinance
granting the Pennsylvania Railroad
the right to build its proposed new
freight spur along the towpath of the
old Pennsylvania Canal, il is under
stood in municipal circles to-day. The
special meeting has been called by
president j. V. W. Reynders to trans
act the regular business which was
scheduled for last Mondays monthly
meeting which was not held because
there was no quorum present.
This ordinance is the first step
necessary in the plan to build a new
trelSht spur from Harrisburg to tap
the plant of the Pennsylvana Steel
company. 1t grants the railroad the
right to cross Trewick, Conestoga and
FRANKLIN streets at grade. it is said
II the tracks are laid along the
towpath 1t is understood that the
company will fill part of the old canal.
This, of course, would make it neces-
sary for the borough to find some
other place into which to drain the
surface water from the upper end of
town, and it has been reported that in
return for the right to cross Trewick,
Conestoga and Franklin streets with
lts tracks, the railroad will build a
thlrty-slX inch intercepting sewer the
length of the part of the canal oc-
cupied by it's tracks.
In municipal circles this morning it
was said that several of the council
men will oppose the passage of the
measure unless the canal nuisance is
settled for all time. Their stand will
be taken, it is said, on the ground that
already these streets are crowded
with the tracks of the Reading Rail-
road and the addition of three more
grade crossings would make it exceed
lngly dangerous for West Side people
to get to the principal business section
OF the borough. II is understood.
however that the Reading Company
is willing to do its share towards the
canal question and that the crossings
VIII be protected some way.

Assassination Plotter
Is Killed in Action
By Associated Press

London, Dev. 11.--A dispatch TO the
Telegraph from Rome states that one
of the Serbian leaders killed in rear
guard fighting during the retreat TO
the Albanian frontier was Noivode
Tankossich. who was named in the
Austrian ultimatum to Serbia and ac-
cused of being organizer of the plot
to assassinate the Austrian archduke
Franz Ferdinand at SarajeVo. The
dispatch says that Tankossich fell with
the last of his band of 200 men at
Eraguyevatz.
II is probable that the officer men
toned in the foregoing is Major Vols
lar Tankosic. who was mentioned in
the Austro- Hungarian note to Serbia
on July %. 1914. In September, 1914,
Major Tankosic was reported TO have
been found dead by Austrians near
Krupagne. where he had commanded
a battery of artillery.

During Present Year.

Denver.-When the Cripple Creek
district was visited by 300 capitalists
and miners the last three days Of
Feoruary-to celebrate the remark
able gold strike In the Cresson mine
it was estimated the years gold out
put of the camp would be SIS, 600, 600,
compared with S12,000.000 in 1914.
For January, February and March.
1915, the Cripple. Creek samplers re-
turned $5,0O0.000 as the result of fire
assay tests. Allowing fifteen per cent
for sampling and metallurgical losses
this means $4.250.O00 for the quarter
and 317.000,000 for the year, from q
fire assay, or actual output of $780,
100000. The sampling at metallurgi-
cal loss was placed at twenty per cent
in 1918 and at seventeen per cent in
1914. This year the percentage OF
smelling ore is increased from five
per cent of the total in 1918 to eight
per cent in the first quarter of 1915.
For last year-owing to rich ore In
deep levels-it was seven per cent,
leaving ninety-three per cent to be
handled by the local mills and by the
large plants at Colorado City, where
a light roast is used. AS fresh ore
strikes are a matter Of daily occur
renee the camp may be relied upon to
make good this $1s,000000 estimate
and this means $1s,000,00O at the
mines, not at the Cripple Creek
