CHILD LABOR BIH
KILLED IN SENATE
BY PENROSE ORDERS
T. Henry Walnut Exposes
Methods by Which Meas
ure Was Robbed of Vital
ity by Machine.
A vlKorous Indictment of the Penrose
Vnro'McN'Ichol machine was mado today
liy Itc'prcscntatlve T, Henry Walnut, In
a statement showing the methods re
ported to by the machine's representa
tives In tho Legislature In throttling the
child labor bill, which, ho sold, had the
support of every right-thinking man In
Pennsylvania. Mr. Walnut dcclured the
nets of tho Inst State Senate, which was
dominated by Penrose, were only tho leg
islative expression of what Penrose and
his henchmen and tho Interests they
servo stand for.
HOUSK HILL A MODEL.
Mr. Walnut's statement reads:
"The child labor bill, as It passed tho
House, wits a measure that would have
placed Pennsylvania among those States
of the Union that had seen tho necessity
for conserving the lives and health of
the children of tho rommunlty, and would
have laid down regulations for tho pur
pose of accomplishing this end.
"Tho bill was referred to the Commit
tee on Judiciary Special, 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 the passage of child
labor legislation. The bill passed the
House on the 15th of April, and was re
fciml to the Committee on Judiciary
Special of tho Senate on the following
day. It was then expected that the Leg
islature, would adjourn not later than
the third or fourth week In May, nnd
presumably the Intention was to kill the
bill by holding It In committee until too
Jate to pass It prior to adjournment.
"A hearing was finally held on tho
jneasuio about the middle 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
finallv passed, In the meantime a num
ber of spirited efforts had been mado
to IK 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. Sn.VATR CHANGES FATAL.
"The bill as It passed the Senato had
b'-en amended so ns to eliminate the
fundamental features of the measure In
Its original form, which were the lim
itation of the houis of labor of children
between the ages of 14 nnd 16 to eight
hours a day nnd 4S hours a week and
the elimination of night work. The bill
as It passed the Senate provided for a
tn-ln'tir day and a 51-hour week and
contained what l known ns the 'Glass
Exemption Clause' In tho provision re
verting night work of children, so that
th existing law as to night work wn3
not affected. In addition to these changes
numerous exceptions had been Inserted
In the measure which represented back
ward tleps In tho existing child labor
law s
"The House icfused to concur In the
amendments nnd a great effort was made
to prevail upon the Senate to recede In
part from Its position. Senator Snyder,
however, who represented Semtor Pen
rose In Schuylkill County, very emphat
IcrJly declined to make any alterations
whatever. Although he modified his po
sition sllghtlv, ho refused to withdraw
fiom any of the Important positions taken
by the Senate, and the bill as jiresented
to the House wnf. no better than tho
existing child labor legislation, and in
s.omo particulars was wore than the ex
isting law.
"The Organisation controlling tho Sen
ate, representing some of the manufac
turers of Pennsylvania and all of the
liquor Interests of Pennsylvania thereby
succeeded In defeating the passage of
the child labor legislation of the session
of 1D13."

I with nosegays or hanging In picturesque
i ringlets over their huge necks, fentured
the opening of the final day at Uryn
Mnwr's twentieth Horse Show.
The draft lioisc more than came Into
his own, today. It was hfs first chance In
all the twenty years of the Horse Show
here to paratle his ponderous grace nnd
charm, nnd he Improved this opportunity
by laboring nbout tho field with his 1000
or more pounds of bulk bedecked In all
tho radiance of a springtime debutante.
Itlbbcns, flowers and a tall which showed
the result of application of the curling
Iron, as did his mane, made the hulking
working horse look ns though he had
JUBt walked from a French milliner's
shop Instcnd of from a stable.
Never havo the patient nnd lumbering
tollers In the Held appeared to such nn
advantage, and the crowd In the stand,
although Bmall because of the chill wind
blowing across the field, applauded his
distinguished appearance.
BARON FAIRFAX WINS FIRST.
Tho first prize wns awarded to Baron
Fairfax, an Ophella-Hke looking animal
with cornflowers In his hair. The Baron
was entered from Boudlnot Farms, at
Radnor, und owned by W. W. Attcrbury,
general manager of the Pennsylvania
Railroad.
Kaneton, entered by Dr. Thos. G. Ash
ton from Uclchester Farms, Newtown
Square, Pa., received second honors,
while J. Howard Supplce's Glcr, n. great
animal, with elaborately curled mane
and a tall adorned with delicately hucd
ribbons, captured third prize.
Truly the work horse today shone In
the glory formerly enjoyed by a steed
during the Augustan age, when It was the
custom to place a laurel wreath care
lessly over the animal's left ear and
otherwise apparel him for display.
Tho children, each driving a pair of
ponies, entered the oval today for flrst
judging after the bugle sounded the
opening call. This was tho ponies In
harness class, and the blue ribbon was
awarded to Angus and Alert, two Vau
cialn entries from Brondlflwn Farms,
driven by little Sllss Anne Ashton. Vnu
clnln ponies also took second prize, this
award going to Jasper and Kettledrum,
driven by Amelia Vauclaln.
Several classes of draft horses came
next. For heavy draft brood mares chief
honors went to Bessie Fauldcr, a Boudl
not Farm entry, with Legitimate, a Dcl
chester Farm horse, taking second. J.
Howard Supplce's Brctonnlcre received
third prize, while Derment Queen, an
other Boudlnot entry, took fourth.
Baron Fairfax figured again as a
winner when, with Derment Queen, Bes
sie Faulder und Golden Ruby, he wan
part of tho Boudlnot herd which took flrst
prize In the heavy draft herd class. The
Delchcster Farms four took second.
Two events left over from yesterday
were run off today. Both were horses
In harness class, the latter being a con
solation class.
In the former The Whip, a Broadlawn
Farm entry, received flrst honors, while
Pandora, another Vauclaln horse, took
Eocond.
The blue ribbon In the consolation
class went to Northern Prince, a horse
owned by Sirs. Nicholas Griffin. 'Jr.,
while tho red wns awarded to William
L. Lelber's Ruttonwood Belle.
There Is a delicious tang In the air,
which usually belongs to Horso Show at
mosphere, but has been missing until to
day. Whllo a rather chill wind blows
across the polo field, a warm sun shines,
tempering the rawness of the day. As
was the case yesterday, light top coats
have replaced straw hats and flannel
trousers, as If over night costumes have
chnnged from clothing appropriate to
southern Florida to that of northern
Michigan.
But every person Is happy, and well
they might be, foi Philadelphia and Main
Line horses In tho Jumping classes have
captured, exclusive of today's awards, as
many blue ribbons as New York, Boston
and Baltimore horses together. Count
ing first, second, third and fourth awards,
local entries last night had won 12 prizes.
Now York entries took 28 all told, and
Boston andj Baltimore six and seven, re
spectively. The most consistent winner of blue rib
bons has been Samuel D. Riddle's string
from Glen Riddle Farms. Mr, Riddle's
hunters have taken four blue ribbons.
Among local horsemen John R. Valen
tine's exhibits come next, with a total
of three blue ribbons. F. Ambrose Clark
und Rooert L. Gerry, of New York, have
won four and three blues, respectively,
while A. Henry Hlgglnson, of Boston
took three. Only one blue ribbon so
far has gone to the Strontia Farm horses,
from Baltimore, In tho jumping class. .
Among local horses the Glen Riddle
mounts captured seven second nnd fo.ur
third prizes, while Mr. Valontlne's string

IN GERMANTOWN
Address Greeted With
Cheers by Audience As
sembled to Witness Be
ginning of District High
School.
' versal, of rewarding pupils for good
conduct In this connection he related
1 a curious bit of educational history. He
snld It was Dock's custom to mark with
chalk the linger nails of a pupil whose
I conduct was exemplary. Such a mark, by
I arrangement between tho schoolmaster
and the parents, lesulted in the good
i pupil getting a boiled egg ftom his
mother and a penny from Ills father.
The Rev. Chuiles Wesley Burns, pastor
of the First .Methodist Episcopal Church,
I delivered tho Invocation at the opening
of the ceremonies. About 1000 persons
were present, including the boy and girl
pupils from the temporary high schools
of the district. Representatives of the
schools, "William T. Tiltlen, a member of
the Hoard of Education, and Hay.tid
Ileniy. formpr State senator, delivered
addresses following that of Doctor Itrum-b.tugh.
LITTLE GIRL SET AFIRE
Gcrmantown's reverence for the his
toric lore of that section was never more
deeply evident than at the laying of the
rtierstono of the new Oermantown
High School at Gcrmantown avenue and
High street this afternoon, when Dr. Mar
tin G. Rrumbaugh, who made tho prin
cipal address, was halted time nnd ngaln
by prolonged cheering.
Tho speaker, who is tho Republican
nominee for Governor, made no mention
of politics. He devoted the greater part
of his address to the educational history
of Gcrmantown, digressing once, in a
sense, to pay touching tribute- to the aged
veterans of the Civil War, members of
Ellis Post, a. A. It., who escorted tho
girl pupils to the celebration.
At the conclusion of Doctor Hrutn
buugh's address two newspapers were
placed In tho cornerstone th Pniwc
Lkdqeu und the New York Times. Doctor
Brumbaugh's history of the life of Chris,
topher Dock, one of tho first gtcat edu
cators of this country, In German and
English, nlt-o was placed In the stone
The former Superintendent of Public
Schools recalled nt the start of his talk
the laying of the cornerstone of Central
High School. He said that the number of
applicants for admission to the school
was far greater thnn Its capacity and the
Board of Education then formulated the
policy It Is now carrying out of district
high schools.
TRIBUTE TO OLD BUILDING
After declaring that the new building
with its modern equipment und large
capacity will do much for Qermantown,
Doctor nrumbaugh touched a responsive
chord In tho hearts of his audience by
expressing the hope that the old mansion
to the rear of the new school will be left
standing. Ho said that this home had
been occupied by many famous Phlladel
phians, chief among them being Christo
pher Do Witt
A burst of applause followed this state
ment and It was repeated a moment
later, when the speaker suggested that a
domestic science courso be opened in the
old mansion, which was acquired by the
Board of Education at the time the site
of thn new achool was mtrrh.inpH
Dr. Brumbaugh also recalled the fact I
that the new school stands on the site
formerly occupied by the Butler mansion
Speaking of education, he said that all
teaching which Is not moral and relig
ious in Its powers and motives is bad and
useless He also declared that teachers
must have their heart In their work to
succeed.
CHRISTOPHER DOCK'S WORK
Referring to Christopher Dock, Doctor
