CHILD LABOR BILL
KILLED IN SENATE
BY PENROSE ORDERS
AT TftE HORSE SHOW EXHIBITS AND EXHIBITORS
x
. Henry Walnut Exposes
Methods by Which Meas
ure Was Robbed of Vital
ity by Machine.
A vigorous Indictment of the Penrose-Vnrc-McNlcliol
machine wns mndo today
by Itopresentntlvo T. Henry Walnut, In
a statement showlns the methods re
sorted to by the machine's leprcscnta
tlves In tho Legislature In throttling the
child labor bill, which, he said, had tli'i
support of every rlght-thlnklng man In
Pennsylvania. Mr. Walnut declared the
acts of tho last State Senate, which was
dominated by Penrose, were only tho leg
islative expression of what Penrose and
Ms henchmen and tho Interests they
crvo stand for.
HOUSE IllLIi A MODEL.
Mr. Walnut's statement reads:
"The child labor bill, as It passed the
House, was a measure that would havo
placed Pennsylvania among those States
of tho Union that hud seen the necessity
for conserving the lives and health of
tho children of tho community, and would
havo laid down ie?ulatlons for tho pur
pose of accomplishing this cud.
"Tho bill wan referred to the Commit
tee on Judlcln Spcclnl, presided over
by Senator Charles A. Snyder, of Schuyl
kill County, who frankly represented
those Interests who had long dominated
Pennsylvania Legislatures and had al
ways obstructed tho passage of child
labor legislation. The bill passed the
Houso on tho 15th of April, and was re
ferred to tho Committee on Judiciary
Special of tho Senate on the following
day. It was then expected that the Leg
islature would adjourn not later than
tho third or rourth week In May, and
presumably tho Intention was to kill tho
bill by holding It In commlttco until too
Jate to pass It prior to adjournment.
"A hearing was finally held on the
measure about the mlddto of May. Tho
question of adjournment was then Im
minent. No report was made by the
committee, however, until June 4, and
It was not until June 23 that the bill was
finally passed. In tho meantime a num
ber of spirited efforts had been made
to fix a date for the adjournment of tho
Legislature, none of which had, how
ever, succeeded, In part because of the
Insistence of the House that the child
labor bill and several other measures of
Importance then In the Senate should
be properly considered before adjourn
ment. SENATE CHANGES FATAL.
"The bill as It passed the Senate had
been amended so as to eliminate the
fundamental features of tho measure In
Its original form, which were the lim
itation of the hours of labor of children
between tho ages of 14 and 16 to eight
hours a day nnd 4S hours a week nnd
the elimination of night work. The bill
as It passed the Senate provided for a
ten-hmir day and a 51-hour week and
contained what U known as the 'Glass
Exemption Clause' In the provision re
jecting night work of children, so that
the existing law aa to night work was
not affected. In addition to these changes
numerous exceptions hiul been Inserted
In the measure which represented back
ward steps In the existing child labor
law.
"Tho Houso refused to concur In tho
amendments and a great effort was made
to prevail upon the Senate to recede In
part from Its position. Senator Snyder,
however, who represented Senator Pen
rose In Schuylkill County, very emphat
ically declined to make any alterations
whatever. Although ho modified nls po
sition slightly, ho refused to withdraw
from any of tho Important positions taken
by the Senate, and tho bill as presented
io tno House was no better than the
existing child labor legislation, and In
fomo particulars was woro than the ex
isting law.
"Tho Organization controlling tho Sen
ate, representing some of the manufac
turers of Pennsylvania und all of the
liquor Interests of Pennsylvania thereby
succeeded In dofeatlng the passage ot
uje cu ,aDor legislation of the session

Delicately marcelled draft horses with
crstwhllo shaggy manes, either bedecked
with nosegays or hanging In picturesque
ringlets over their hugo necks, featured
the opening of the final day at Bryn
Mawr's twentieth Horse Show.
The draft horse more than came Into
his own today. It was his first chance in
all tho twenty years of the Horse Show
here to parado his ponderous grace and
charm, and he Improved this opportunity
by laboring nbout the field with his 1000
or more pounds of bulk bedecked In all
the radianc3 of a springtime debutante.
Ribbons, flowers and a tall which showed
the lesult of application ot tho culling
iron, as did his mane, made tho hulking
working horse look as though he had
just walked from a French milliner's
shop Instead of from a stable.
Never have the patient and lumbering
tollers In the field appeared to such nn
advantage, and the crowd In the stand,
although small because of the chill wind
blowing across the field, applauded his
distinguished appearance.
BARON FAIRFAX WINS FIRST,
The first prize was awarded to Baron
Fairfax, an Ophella-llke looking nnlmal
with cornflowers In his hair. Tho Baron
was entored from Boudlnot Farms, at
Radnor, and owned by W. W, Atterbury,

Square, Pa., received second honors,
while J, Howard Supplee's Glor, a great

ribbons, captured third prize.
Truly the work horse today shone In
the glory formerly enjoyed by n steed
during the Augustan age, when It was the
custom to place a luurel wreath care
lessly over the animal's left ear and
otherwise apparel him for display.
The children, each driving a pair of
pontes, entered the oval today for first
Judging after tho bugle' Bounded the
opening call. This was the ponies In

Baron Fairfax figured again as a
winner when, with Derment Queen, Bes.
sle Faulder and Golden Ruby, he wai

Delchester Farms four took second.
Two events left over from yesterday

Farm entry, received first honors, while
Pandora, another Vauclaln horse, took
second.
The blue ribbon

whllo the red was awarded to William
L. Lelber's Buttonwood Belle.
There Is a delicious tang In the air,
which usually belongs to Horse Show at
mosphere, but has been missing until to
day. While a rather chill wind blows
across tho polo Held, a warm sun shines,
tempering the i owners of the day. As
was tho case vsterduy. light top coats
havo replaced straw hats and flannel
trousers, as If over night costumes have
changed from clothing appropriate to
southern Florida to that of northern
Michigan.
But every person Is happy, and well
they might be, for Philadelphia and Main
Line horses In the Jumping classes have
captured, exclusive of today's awards, as
many blue ribbons as Now York, Boston
and Baltimore horses together. Count
ing first, necond, third and fourth awards,
local entries last night hud won 42 prizes.
New York entries took 23 all told, and
Boston and Baltimore six and seven, respectively.

Dinner Dance at Highland Farm Cuts
Early Attendance.
From Our Staff Correspondent.
BRY.V MAWR, Pa., Sept. 27SocIety
was nble tolle abed and rest for another
hour tnls morning, as tho Horse Show
did not open until 11:30. Long before the
opening class, however, many morning
visitors had arrived, all anxious to pro
long the last day.
A clear day for the entire week of the
show seldom occurs, but with the ex
ception of Thursday's threatening clouds
and the Intense heat of tho early week,
Ideal weather has prevailed. The high
wind of the early morning abated some
what by noon,, but tho visitors sought tho
sunny lawn and, -gathering chairs to
gether, made congenial little parties.
With the exception of the opening class
of ponies, lie morning's entries were not
of particular Interest. An more than two
hundred and fifty guests attended the
dinner dance given last night at Highland
Farm, the beautiful country home of Mr.

Mrs. George Farle nnd Miss Gladys
Earlc spent tho morning In a sunny spot
on the lawn, while Miss Hanscll Earlo
entertained a few friends In their box.
Llttlo Miss Vauclaln. who drove In the
opening pony class, was among the cutest
of tho youngsters present. In her btuo
Angora sweater ond hat to match. Llttlo
Miss Anno Ashton, who drove in this
class, wore a navy blue suit and small
blue hat, with a draped silk crown.
From a. fashion point of view, the
smartest costume of the week was worn
today by Mrs. nichard P. MvOrnnn, who,
with Mr. McGrann, Is n houso guest of
Mr. and Mrs. Charles F. Dacosta at Vllla-
novn. It was one of the new French
models, with nn extremely short skirt,
gathered to a deep hip yoke; the ma
terial was peau de chamois and tho color
seal brown. Her Jackot. which was cut
narrow In tho shoulders and planed out
In a sacque shape, had rolled collar
and cuffs of black satin. Round silver
buttons formed a trimming as well as
tho fastenings. Her flat hat was all
black.
Quite the most conspicuous costume
of tho day was worn by Mrs. Edward B.
McLean. Over a navy blue gown Mrs.
McLean wore a full length coat of citron
color, with broad ravers and collar of
wide black and white stripe silk. Her
small hat of the same vivid shade of
citron was laden with plumes and orna

PENROSE BELITTLES
PROSPECTS OF OPPONENTS
Says Plnchot'B Vote Will Not Equal
Frlmary Poll Ignores Palmer's
Charges.
Glfford Plnchot, tho Washington party
candidate for United States Senator, will
not poll as large a vote In ffovembcr ns
he did Ht the primary election, nccordlng
to Senator Penrose, who returned to tho
city at noon from Blair county.
"As a matter of fact," ho added, "even
In tho event of PInchot's election, there
would be a serious legnl question whether
or not he could take the ofllce. He does
not live In Pennsylvania, nnd neither his
public service nor his personal attain
mentH appeal to tho people of Pennsyl
vania." The conclusion regarding tho small vote
which Mr. Plnchot will poll, Senator Pen
rose based upon tho rapid disintegration
of tho Washington party In the Btnte,
1 which he said has been greatly furthered
by the Indorsement of Mr. McCormlck,
i the Democratic nominee for Governor, by
the Washington pnrty State Committee,
. to tilkc the place of Dcnn Lewis.
"Tho withdrawal of Mr. Lewis," the
, Senator snld, "has nbsolutcly disgusted
tho gieat majorltv of tho Washington
party voters. They are taking this op
portunity to return to the Republican
party to which they always have been
true at heart."
Congressman A. Mitchell Palmer, Sen
ator Penroso predicted, would not poll
more than 200.KX) votes In thn entire
Slate. Mr. Palmer's responsibility for
the niftnl schedule In the t'nderwood
tntlrf bill und his autocratic leadership,
which has split tho Democratic party, Mr.
Ponro.o raid, has lost a great number
of supportprs for lilm.
Referring to Mr. Palmer's attacks upon
his own tecord In Wnshlngton the Sen
ator said the pooplo of Pennsylvania
want to hear what a man can do him
self when he Is a cnndldatp for office,
and they do not care to hear him Indulge
In per.onnl Invectives to try to advance
hlnuelf.
"Fusion," continued Mr. Penrose. "I,
like all other Republicans, view with In
difference. The Republican party expects
to poll a greater vote than thnt of all
other parties combined. And fusion, ns
a matter of fact, Is but a confession of
party weakness. In this fight tho Wash
ington party by fusion Is merely con
tributing to the building up of the Demo
cratic machine In Pennsylvania."

7'ho passage of tho war revenue bill
will mean an Increased taxation of mors)

of Internal Revenue Lcderer. During
the past fiscal year the Government has
received $12,0017000 In Internal revenue
from Philadelphia, It Is expected thl
figure will reach the 16-mllltDti dollar

WASHINGTON. Sept. 26. The vrar
tax fight today was transferred to the
Senate when the Administration emer
gency revenue bill, as passed by tho
Houso late yesterday, was sent to the)
upper body.
Plans were made by Scnato leaders
to act oulckly on the measure, but there
was evidence that the Republican oppo
sition might delay final action.
As In the House, where the bill wa
put through by a party vote of 234 to
13G, the Senate was expected to maka
the measure a political Issue. Only one
member of the House not a Democrat
voted for the bill Representative Ira
Copley, a Progressive, of Illinois while
11 Democrats went over to the opposi
tion. They are Representatives O'Hare,
Illinois; Hobson, Alnbamu; Rngsdale,
South Carolina; Slsson, Mississippi;
Stephens, Mississippi; Wltherspoon, Mls
