CHILD LABOR BILL PASSED BY HOUSE Vote Was 337 For to 16 Against; Heavy Penalties Imposed Special to tht Tele troth Washington, D. C., Feb. 3. The Keating bill, to bar from interstate commerce the products of child labor, j passed the House yesterday by a ina- i jority so large that it surprised the friends of the measure. The vote was < 337 for the bill to 46 against it. The bill now goes to the Senate. It imposes heavy penalties for interstate shipment of any commodity produced in whole or In part by children under 16 working in mines or quarries, or by children under 14 working in mills, canneries, workshops or manufactur ing establishments. Where children j arc employed at night or more than eight hours a day in this latter class of industries, the minimum age is 16 instead of 14. Ex-Speaker Cannon offered an amendment, to exempt canneries be- j cause of competition with canneries across the Canadian line, where no re strictions on child labor apply. The only material change was made by adoption of an amendment to exempt the boys and girls' canning clubs. SEX ATE VOTES TO Qt lT PHILIPPINES IV FOVR YEARS Washington, D. C., Feb. 3. The j Senate went on record in favor of the ' almost immediate independence of the Philippines. This was a defeat for the adminis- : tration, but the margin was so slight that it is not improbable that the ac- j tion will be reversed later as a result of administration inlluence. The Clarke amendment, which pro vides that within the next four years , the President shall transfer all sov ereignty over (he islands to a govern ment established by the Filipinos themselves, was adopted by a majority made up on the vote of the Vice-Presi dent. The vote in the Senate was a tie pallia sn.w juapjsoj am puu upon to settle the question. SCENES OF FRIGHT FOLLOW RAIDS [Continued From First Page.] atoms, churches were destroyed, build- ' ings were unroofed. Xowhere did the raids cause any* panic. The story of the killing of the woman missionary is thus given in de tail by a correspondent who is a mem ber of the same parish: Honili Boras Big Hole "Not far from the center of the town 1 is the church, separated by a short distance from the chapel, in which a mission for women and girls was in progress. The woman missionary was standing, F.iblc in hand, addressing an audience of two hundred women and wirls, when a bomb dropped between the church and the mission chapel. It made a hole in the ground four feet deep and twelve feet indianieter, within twenty feet of the chapel. There was a blinding flash, then all was darkness. The woman missionary was struck by a huge fragment of shell and killed instantly. Another woman and a young girl were also killed on the spot. The screams of the injured arose in the darkness and many persons were trampled in the confusion which 1 prevailed for a few minutes. A sec ond bomb fell in the center of the main street, killing a bride walking with her husband and injuring the lat ter so badly that he died in a short j time." Aeroplanes Pursue and Warships Fire on Saloniki Zeppelin Without Success By Associated Press Saloniki. Feb. 3. via Paris. The Zeppelin which on Tuesday bombarded Saloniki was of very large dimensions. After making a wide detour of the city | it began its operations by dropping live bombs, which fell into the sea. The warships opened fire on it, but after fourteen shots were obliged lo cease for fear of wounding the population, which was now tilling the streets. The raiders missed the next, target, but tore a. woman to pieces and wounded a small boy. Another bomb set fire to warehouses tilled with fats, oils, benzine and sugar. Meanwhile the Zeppelin continued to rain down its missiles of destruction. Flames from the blazing warehouses lighted up the whole harbor with a red glow, against which stood out the white sails of the coasting ships, flee ing under all canvas. Fast aeroplanes rose in pursuit of the Zeppelin, while British, French, Italian and Russian sailors operated a fireboat at a wharf and poured tor rents of water on the fire. The bombs thrown from the Zeppelin weighed about ion pounds and were dropped from a height estimated at 2,000 feet. THK PASSING OF THE CIRCUIT HIDEII The road was lonely and rough and the rocks were plentiful. On every hand hills loomed in the gloom of the fast descending night. Not a house or a soul was in sight, save the lone traveler who trudged onward over the rocks and up the steep inclines. The place was the Ozarks of Mis souri. and the man. Rev. .1. L. Finley. Is technically a "circuit rider," but in reality he is a circuit walker, because he Is too poor to buy a horse, and his salary is too small to allow him to hire a conveyance. On S4OO per year he supports a wife and four children. He preaches to eight small churches scattered over a territory of two coun ties, some of it in the wildest parts of the Ozarks. The shepherd looked Into the faces of his people, and saw there a need of sympathy and encouragement and love, and he began to talk to them as one would talk to children, of the sim ple gospel of Christ's love to men. When he was through he gave an in vitation for those who were tired of the .bondage and slavery of sin, to come forward. Eight came and five of them 1 were converted to the ways of his Mas-1 ter. For years Finley was a saw-mill proprietor, making more money than he possibly could at preaching. Then he entered the ministry. "The Master railed me," he said simply. "No credit Is due me for the work lam doing. T am simply an humble worker in His vineyard."—THE CHRISTIAN HERALD.
