Washington, Aug. 10.-The bill
barring the products of mills employ
ing child labor was adopted by the
senate Tuesday by a vote of 81 10 12
The measure already had been adopt
ed by the house and was brought up
lin the senate under pressure from
President Wilson, after a democratic
caucus had decided 10 let it go over
until the December session.
Senators Opposing Bill.

and Fletcher, Florida; Hardwick and
Smith, Georgia; Overman and Sim
mons, North Carolina; Smith and Till
man, South Caroline; Williams, Mis-
sissippi (democrats). Oliver and
Penrose, Philadelphia (republicans).
Opposition to the measure had
come chiefly from southern cotton
mill owners. and the group OF south
ern democrats who voted against it
had fought 1t in caucus and maintain
ed their opposition during the senate
debate on the ground that the rcgu-
lation proposed is unconstitutional

A. j. WALKER RESIGNS
Quits Indian Service to Become Super
ntendent for IokIa Oil Company.

A. ]. Walker, assistant United
States oil inspector in the Indian SER
vice, who has been located in the
Healdton field for the past two years,
has resigned his position and will as
sumo charge of production for the
Iokla Oil and Gas company. While
Mr. Walker is young in years, he has
had a broad experience in the oil
game. He broke into the business
for the Mallory's in the Chipmonk
field as case man, was afterward with
the same company as tool dresser in
the Watsonville field. He was trans
ferred from Bradford Pa. to Wood
county, Ohio where he worked two
years as driller, incidentally drilling
with a Reid gas engine the deepest
ern Ohio. The well was 726 feet deep
and was in the Ohio Trenton. In
1907 Mr.. Walker was sent to Dewey,
Oklahoma, and for four years he was
with these same people as superin-
tendent of production and from this
situation he resigned to become dis
trict superintendent for the RoXana
Petroleum company. In May, 1914, he
was appointed oil inspector, and has
been at Healdton since that time.
Mr.. Walkers business has been i'm
portant for the reason that two-thirds
of the royalty interests at Healdton
are owned by the restricted Indians.
Mr.. Walker has kept in close touch
with development and he is better in
formed on the field than probably any
other man at Healdton.

Senate Conferees Named.
In order to expedite consideration,
senate conferees were appointed i'm
mediately after the rinal vote was
taken. The only amendment adopted
would extend the bills provisions to
bar all products or establishments
employing children from interstate
commerce.
The house measure was directed
only against those products on which
child labor actually had been en-
ployed.
Amendments Rejected.
Senator Borah did not offer the
amendment he had drawn attaching
the immigration bill as a rider in or
der to force action on it at this scs-
sion Amendments 20 make the pro
hibition apply only to children under
II who could not read nor write, to
make it apply to children on farms,
to postpone its effective date for two
years were voted down.
The bill as passed would prohibit
any mine or quarry in which children
under 16 years have been employed
or in the product of any mill, can
merry, workshop, factory or manufac-
turing establishment in which chill
dren between IA and 16 years have
been employed more than eight
hours a day, more that six days a
week, before G o'clock in the morn
ing or later than 7 o'cTock in the even
ing. 1t would take effect one year
after enactment.
During the closing hours of debate
today Senator TiIlman denounced
southern cotton mill owners Oppos
posing the bill and said that while
he believed it unconstitutional, he was
tempted to support it because of the
selfishness of the interest fighting it
He also declared congress was toe
much influenced by the attitude OF
labor interests.

WILL PUBLISH
GERMAN NOTE
ON LUS|TAN|A
COMMUNICATION RECEIVED LAST
FEBRUARY RECOGNIZES LA
RlLlTY AND AGREES TO PAY
MENT OF INDEMNITY.

Washington, Aug. 10.-The United
States has asked for and received
permission from Germany to publish
as a formal document the last note in
the Lusitania case, which was sub
mitted by Count Won Bernstorff near
ly six months ago. The state de-
partment's intention to publish the
communication is believed to indi-
cate its acceptance.
Acting Secretary Polk declined to-
day to discuss the plans of the Uni
ted States in regard TO the Lustania
case or to disclose when the docu-
ment would be given out. The com
munication, dated Feb. 16, last, deals
only with the principles involved. 1t
does not mention the amount of in
demnity Germany is to pay or how
or when the amount will be agreed
upon. 1t simply recognizes liability"
promises to make reparation by the
payment of indemnity gives assus
ances for the future ana declares that
reprisals, such as ruthless submarine
operations, must not be directed at
other than enemy subjects.
No Discussion of Indemnity.
Until now there has been abso-
lutely no discussion in regard to in
demnity The German government is
represented as feeling that having
signified its willingness to make rep
arations, the United States must
make the next move.
The communication when submit
ted was regarded as being tentative
and the United States refrained from
accepting it because of the declara-
tion by the central powers of their
intention to treat as warships armed
merchantships of the entente allies.
During the discussion of this decla-
ration and the negotiations over the
attacks upon the channel steamer
Sussex and other vessels carrying
American citizens, the communica-
tion, which stands as Germany's for
NAL reply to the last American Lusi-
tania note, has lain in the state de-
partment not acted upon.
Decide to Publish Note.
Having secured further assurances
regarding the conduct of submarine
warfare at the time of the negotia-
tions over the Sussex disaster, the
state department decided to await
developments, principally with the
idea of determining how Germany's
assurances would be observed. 1t
has been indicated by officials of the
department recently that it apparently
being evident that Germany was liy-
ing up to her promises, the Lusitania
note should be published. The Berlin
foreign office offered no objection.
Hundreds of claims for lives and
property loss on the Lusitania are on
file in the state department. Heirs
of victims have filed claims ranging
from $4,000 to $1,OOO,OOO each
Commission May Ce Needed.
A belief prevails in official and dip
lomatic quarters that the amount of
the indemnity eventually will be de
termined by a commission, which
may not arrive at conclusions until
after the war.
Diplomats friendly to the central
powers regard news dispatches from
Germany intimating that a ruthless
submarine warfare was about to be
resumed as without foundation.
Confidential advices from Berlin
are understood to have made it clear
that the probability OF the Won Tir-
pitz element returning to power was
remote.
