Laborcra Who Can Little Mora Than Walk Are Herded From Factory to Factory? Baltimore, June 2o. The National Child Labor Committee, which has it headquarters in New York and themembers of which includes Card inal Gibbons, Judge Ben B. Lindsey, Jane Addams, Prof, Charles W. Elliot and others, is keeping watch on the coast regions of Maryland, the Car olines and Georgia and on the Gulf Coast. In the last, year Harry.M. Bremer, the secretary; special writers and inves tigators for the committee have vis ited and investigated "the living con- editions of workers in the oyster and shrimp canning sections of Maryland and Delaware. Their report is that living conditions are execrable; that In many cases half a dozen families are crowded into one squalid, unsan itary hovel, and that children who can little more than walk are herded from factory to factory with the seasons fo lave at from 15 to 25 cents a day until fatigue has numbed their senses Mostly foreigners they are, accodr- ing to Mr. Bremer, Bohemians and Poles who can be imposed upon becasue of their lack of knowledge of American opportunities. For the children it is never school or vacation, but instead they are shipped from Maryland to the Carolinas, then to Georgia then to the Gulf, going South to labor "during the cold montli";ixd back to Delaware and Maryland- ?di-fx tne hot months. 3V . ' . .yfrj, "When the berry-picking eei8on'ar rives," Mr. Bremer said ?: ytorday, 'the bosses crowd, smelly day'cachci and boats with these children andHheiT illiterate parents and ship them to the berry fields of Anne Arundel and other Maryland counties and of Del aware. Then follows the canning reason, after which they are again herded South to pack shrimp and other products, while the children here are at school." Along this line Lewis W. Hine, writing lor the committees official report of investigationsduring 1912, and 1913, iays of the conditions surrounding the same workers when they reach South Carolina: , "One row of dilapidated shacks that 1 found in South Carolina housed 50 workers in single-room homej And the shacks were on an old shell tpile, a. few feet from the tidal marsh, jpdors, mosquitoes and sand flies mak ing life intolerable, especially in hot breather." : His article is headed Baltimore lo Biloxi and Back." Reprtoing a field investigation frqm anuary to March in Louisiana, Ed F. Brown, another of the com' ituxtee investigators, says:. - "On February t7j; 1913, f visited the' luanc at uunpar, ua. ana .spone to . !

GAHQ COS KELLY TELLS OF RADIUM Will Car Sdm Cancer, B Asserts Af Medical Convention. ' .Minneapolis, June 20.-i-At yester day's session of the American Med ical Association on the University of Minnesota campus, - radium as a physical agency was discussed in a paper by Dr. Howard A. Kelly of Bal timore. Its action, he '-vd, is local and it is destined to be a potent aid in the j treatment of gynecology. He asserted that radium will cure some cancers and will especially elimate many cases of local recurrence which are difficult to treat by many of the customary surgical methods, Its importance in the treatment of fibroid tumors is just beginning to be recogueJ. It checks hemorrhage and in some cases materially decreases the size of the growths. In pelvic inflammatory disease its use is very hopeful, but this, he said, is still a new field. That cancer of the stomach is a curable disease was the declaration of Dr. William D. Mayo of Rochester, Minn. "A favorable diagnosis can be estab lished by simple methods," he asserted. "A history of gastric disturbance pre cedes cancer in a large number if not the majority of cases." Dr. Mayo gave a review of statistics of signs and symptoms observed in 1,000 patients operated on for cancer of the stomach.

'-The track is at present in excellent C jndition but in order to make it smooth on the day of the races it will be dragged over and sn.o thcd with a steam roller. July 4 in New Bern will be a day which wilil long be remembered by ail who ittend the big event at the Fair grounds and it is needless to say that .several t iousand will be there. The price of admission will be fifty cents and this entitles the holder of the ticket to a free scat in the grand stand. One of the most interesting events of the day will be the firemen's tournament which will be put on by a hose wagon team from each of the local fire comapnies. This tournament will be carried out under the rules of the State Firemenls Association and will be a thriller. Just how1 many motorcylcs will be entered in the races Is not known but there will probably be ten or more, both single and "twin" cylinders and there will be no limit to the speed. Lovers of horseflesh will see c ne f the most exciting races ever held in this county; Taken as a whole the event will be well worth attending.

AFFAIR WRAPPED IN MYSTERY Barrel Held One Hundred Pints Of A Well Known Brand Of "Booze." Last Thursday morning forty-three barrels of whiskey which were con fiscated by the government several months ago and stored in the Federal building, were taken from the base ment of the building and placed on the sidewalk where they- would be ac cessible to the drayman who was to haul them to the freight depot to tbe returned to the owners. Three men counted the barrels after they had been taken from the building and there is no doubt that there were forty-three there at that time. How- e.'er, at some time between the period that the whiskey was taken from the building and the hour that it reached the Trent river freight warehouse, a whole barrel of the "booze" dis appeared. Where or when the whiskey went is not known and from present indi cations it look as though the service: o' the famous French deUclive, l.ecoq or the immortal Sherlock Holmes wil be needed to unravel the my. levy. In the far East are marvelous magi cians known as Yogi who have Inn known to make objects as large horses and other animals disappear rieht before the very face of the men in the their audiences and it looks a thouL'h one of these fakirs has meandered into New Hern and finding thing . ...

How ever, I in- tall freight warehouse shows only fort -i wo barrels. The possible solution has been ottered that the barrel, which contained one hundred l ints of that well known brand, "College Chum," evaporates Now whiskey has been known t "evaporate at a very rapid rate on certain occasions but the fact remain t hat the glass containers and t he wooden irrel could not well do this withou perlorming a feat which might l classed under the tou.th dimension 1 he whole rlair is shrouded in mys tery. The owners of the whiskey will of course make claim for the lost barrel but the question now arises a to whom the claim will be made upon The govcrnmnet had released the wh key to a representative of the owners and the railway people not havin received it arc ol course not liabl for it. However an effort is being made to locate the missing barre and it is possible that it will turn u in some unexpected manner.

C, June 20. Rev. R. l'-vig, superintendent of the North Carol na Anti-Saloon Leatrue. has had everol inquiries recently asking for in.orn ation touching the Webb law nd the North Carolina Search and Seizure act. In response to these in- uiries he has prepared and sent out to the press the following:: "We have had several inquiries of ate to know if, since the passage of the Webb law, the officers of the State havethe right to seize liquor while it is still in the hands of the public carrier. Prior to the passage- of the Webb act, the Wilson act, as inter preted by the Supreme Court of the United States, protected liquor shipped rom one State into another until it was delivered to the consignee The prime purpose of the Webb act was to remedy this feature of the Wilson act and to allow the officers of the State, county or town, ooer- uing under tne search ana beizuer iw, to seize this liquor while still a the hands of the public carrier. thus givinu the officer the chance to seize the liquor before the blind tiger gets it 'Tit .-. ten , Sheriff Stephens of Pam ico ci 1'iii-v was acting entirely within his jtiiisdn t ion when he swore out arch watr tut and took possession of 35 ban.! - ! beer and thirtv cases of irpior i o; signed to parties living in Carl en i couniv while it was still in he h. iids- of the Norfolk Southern ,aiiwa. and Sheriff McKcnzie o!

By this nut hod we can. stop the fellows from getting liquor to sell. . " - "The Search and'.Seizure law further provides that a 'Booze.
