LYRIC

Lee Morrison's very unusual play s'The Hour of Temptation is playing to very large business this week at The Lyric, and is giving the highest of sat isfaction. It is a. most impressive play presented by Eleanor Montell, and a very strong cast, including William Morris.
 Rolling Stones. the latest and best comedy from the pen of Edgar Sel- wyn, is the attraction at the Lyric theatre next week. This comedy en- joys the enviable reputation of 8 six months run at various theatres in New York. It tells an interesting story in an exceedingly humorous manner and is replete with all imaginable kinds of funny situations interspersed with a great deal of breezy, crisp 1augh-provoking dialogue. The cast which Is an exceptionally large and capable one is headed by George F. Smithfield, a very prominent and clever exponent of Shakespearean roles, and Miss Esther Welty. a young actress of unusual charm and ability. Rolling Stones is this season being produced by the A. Heinrich Produc- ing Company, under the management of Clark Ross, and, it is reported, that these new producers have spared no ton exceptionally meritorious, and is perhaps the foremost comedy dram atic attraction booked over the newly formed International Circuit. At any rate 1t is the most costly.

MANSFIELD IS
 THE CHOICE IN
 MASS. PRIMARY

Boston, Sept. PA revision today substantial pluralities received at the state primaries yesterday to Freder- ick Mansfield for the Democratic nom- ination by the Republicans.
 With the figures from two wards in Lowell. two in Quincy and the vote of Pepperell missing, the former state treasurer had lead over former Ad- jutant General Charles H. Cole, for the head of the Democratic state ticket of 9,75S. Mr. Cook, with the returns from all~but 12 precincts out of a total of 1,166 reported, led Jos ephl B. Brown by 16,236 votes.
 The decisive victorys of Mansfield was the surprise of the primaries for, although he had confidently expected friends had not claimed any such plurality as he obtained. General Cole was prompt to congratulate his opponent and to promise his cordial support. These two contests were the only ones for state offices. The vote was light but the counting was very slow with the result that few precincts were in doubt early to- day.
 The figures with the districts miss ing as above, were: Mansfield 45,- 2S3; Cole 35,525; Cook 5s,552; Brown 42,316.
 The sharpest contest for a Con- gressional nomination, developed in the Sixteenth district, where Joseph Walsh, of New. Bedford, the success full candidate, was unable to. poll a majority of votes over the two other Republicans in the running. Mr. Walsh secured 5,52s votes to 3,107 for John L. Bryant, of Fairhaven, and 2,658 for William o. Souther, Jr., Co., hasset.
 In the seventh district there were two candidates in each party, the winners being Charles N. Barney, of Lynn, Republican, and Michael F. Phelan. of Lynn, Democrat. The vote was Barney 4,475; Charles c. Johnson, of Nahant, 2,999; Phelan 5,517; William P. Connery, Jr., of Lynn, 3,959.
 Frederick S. Deitrick, of Cam bridge. a former Congressman, won the Democratic nomination in the eighth district by a majority of 672 over John F. Daly,i of Cambridge. Dei- tricks vote was 2,410; Dalys 1,73s.
 Francis J. Horgan, of Boston, easily obtained the Democratic nomination in the eleventh district by a vote of 5,142 to 3,611 for James T. Kenny, of Boston. -'

EMPLOYMENT
 CERTIFICATES
 FOR VACATION
Attorney General Says They Allow Children to Work
 Only In Recess Periods.

Attorney-General George E. Hin man has given an opinion to Charles D. Hine, secretary of the state board of education, in which the law of u913, relating to the temporary. en- ployment of children between 4 and 16 years of age is interpreted. Under the act referred to the attorney-gen eral says there may be issued only such temporary certificates as permit temporary employment during the summer vacation of the school which children are by law required to attend. The opinion follows:
 Charles D. Hine, Esqq., Secretary
 State Board of Education.
 Dear Sir-You ask my opinion as to whether the certificate provided for by Chapter 211 of the Public Acts of 1913 may be issued so as to permit temporary employment at any time during the year other than the sum- mer vacation.
 Said chapter provides as follows:
 "Any child in good physical condi- tion, between IA and 16 years of ae, on application in person to the sec retary or an agent of the state board of education, shall be granted tenn porary or vacation certificate, per mitting the employment of said child during the summer vacation"
 In my opinion the language of this chapter, construed as a whole, and in connection with other related statutes, plainly indicates an inten- ton to permit employment, under said certificate, during the summer vaca- f01 rryrh rhr, a attendance at school would not there by be interfered with, of children whose employment would otherwise be unlawful.
 The employment certificates pro- vided for by Section of Chapter 119 of the Public Acts of 1911 are granted only upon the conditions, as to educa- tional attainmerts therein prescribed, and Section 2116 of the general statutes requires regular attendance at school by a child while he is en- rolled as a scholar. To construe said Chapter 211 as permitting temporary employment of a child, whose em- ployment and consequent exemption from school attendance has not been authorized by certificate under Chap ter 119 of the Public Acts of 1911, at a time when the regular attendance required by law would be interrupted by such employment would, in my opinion, not only be unwarranted by the language of the acts, but also in volve an inconsistency with said other existing statutes concerning the em- ployment and school attendance of children not to be presumed in the absence of provisions more impera- lively leading to suchm a construction than do the provisions of said Chapter 211. On the, other hand, the con struction herein adopted is in har- mony with the other statutory pro- visions relating to the general subject and creates an exception to the gen. eral restrictions as to employment of children for which a logical reason is clearly apparent.
 In my Judgment there may be is- sued under said Chapter 211 only such certificate as permits temporary employment during the summer vaca- ~tion of the school which the child is by law required to attend.
 Respectfully submitted,
 GEORGE E. AMMAN,
 Attorney-Genera1

BUTLER IS SENT ]. TO ATLANTA FOR
 BLACKMAIL CASE

New York. Sept 27.-The first member of the "blackmail syndicate to receive the penalty of the law, Will liam Butler, was sentenced by Judge Manton yesterday to eighteen months in the Federal Penitentiary at Allan ta. Handcuffed to a United States deputy marshal, Butler had been brought to this city earlier in the day from Philadelphia, where he was ar rested a few, days ago.
 The conviction of Butler in such a summary manner is taken by the au- thorities to foreshadow the speedy de- struction of the band. Hitherto the members, in their frequent clashes with the law, have been able to defy the authorities.
 Butler was brought to New York under two indictments. One of the indictments chargedN him. with con- spiracy, fraudulently to represent a Government officer. The other one charged him with the extortion of s585 from Mrs Regina Ripper, of Philadelphia. Butler pleaded guilty to the conspiracy charge.
 His First Conviction
 q guess the Jig is up," exclaimed
 
 Attorney Knox, in charge of the blackmail prosecution, displayed the evidence against him. "Ive been un- der arrest sixteen times but I've never been up against it like this before. I was never convicted or even indicted
 Buffers lawyer, E!H. Stephenson, told Judge Manton, in the United States District Court, that Butler had C0 fh0 1f persons, and that by his plea of guilty he had saved the Government time, trouble and considerab ble expense.
 He asked that these facts be con- 1idered in passing sentence, and that lenfency be shown. Judge Manton then passed sentence, inf1icting IS months. The maximum sentence for the conspiracy charge is two years.
 Butler was first arrested in Phila- delphia. January last, on the charge of having attempted to extort $8,000 from Mrs. J. Bolton Winpenny for the suppression of fictitious white slave" complaint against her son. Marshall Winpenny. The charge fell through when Mrs. Winpenny died three weeks ago.
 Still Faces Charge.
 Buffers plea and sentence do not grant him immunity from the charge of extortion at a New York hotel. He is now under s65, 900 bail for hearings in Philadelphia and Chicago in con- nection with the blackmail operations.
 Prosecutor Knox declared he ex- pected several other arrests in this city shortly. He declared Butler had not helped the investigation yet by offer of information, but he hoped to enlist his aid after he is transferred from the Tombs to Atlanta next week. But the moral effect of the speedy disposition of this case will, I hope. aid us greatly" he said. "One of those who had evaded the law so easily they had come to feel con- temptuous of it, has been caught with the goods. It may induce others we hold to tell us what they know"
