ASKS CORRECTION.

Editor News-Times;
Would you please contradict what
was in your paper this morning and
Saturday morning regarding the at
tack on Mrs Fawcett and also her
running around with other men and
as for her going with Mr. Wells she
don't know anybody by that name
Mrs. Fawcett was alone Wednesday
night when 3 negroes attacked her
? women & / man. She received
a severe beating and the loss of
her pocket-book money and hat.
The story of running around with
other men and visiting a home on
y. hill st. is false as Albert Fawcett
is trying TO get a divorce and is try
ing to get d cause to do so. The
story Of going out with Isaac Wells
will have TO be proven before they
can say it is true. And as for Albert
Fawcett he is doing all the running
around himself and has done so for
the last few years. Mrs. Fawcett Is
not in the hospital as reported but
is home and has been home since
Saturday night. Mrs Fawcett before
leaving the hospital Saturday night
was questioned by Police Woman
Minnie Evans. But not by Detective
Kuespert.
Respectfully
MRS. NJ FAWCETT

terfere with the state provisions
but will make working conditions
for children uniform all over the
country.
The census of 1910 shows that
nearly 100000 children under the
age of l6 are employed in manu-
featuring, milling and mining pur-
suits. More than a million boys and
girls are working over S hours. The
law is wholly humanitarian in its
nature, and will bring about better
