WHO DID WILLARD DEAT?
Eing History "Answers" Burning In
terrogation on Many . Sports
men's Lips
■| from the training oamp of Jess Wil-j
' lard comes the following interrogation,
; which it seeuis is answered by ring,
t i history.
Who J id Jess Willaivi ever beat!
That is the burning question of the
hour.
Not only do you get it from rabid
i : Johnson men. but from others wno
should know better.
A glance at ring history—or any his
tory tor that —will answer for all time
this most foolish of questions.
Instead otf again giving into detail on
I the numerous qualifications of Jess Wil- !
lard as a dangerous opponent of Jack
Johnson's on March 6 let history an
swer the question.
The human interrogation point an
swers the question bv asking other ques
tions. Answer or evade them. Suit!
! yourself.
Here they are:
Who did Wellington beat before he
i whipped Napoleon at Waterloo 1
\V ho did Dewey get a decision over
i before he worn in a punch at Manila
Bay/
Who did James J. Oorbett win from
before he beat John U Sullivan?
Who did Bob Fitzsimmons defeat '
| before he smothered ,l;u k Dempseyf 1
Who did "Ymug CorbeUt" drop be-!
, fore he made Terrv McGovern bite the
j dustT
Who did A\i Wolgast whip before he
made Battling Nelson take the count'
Who did James .1. Jeffries knock out
before he turned the trick ou Bob Fit/,
simtiions?
Who *1 i Jack Johnson wallop before
he won the titfrom Tommy Burns?
Youth has won more battles than
age.
In race track parlance "Wiilard is a
fresh horse pitted against track-sore
Johnson. "
Think it over.

I place.
lie has been to both Phillipsburg and

The child labor bill, which 'has the
endorsement of Governor Brumbaugh
and the Pennsylvania Child Labor As
sociation, was last night introduced in
•the Senate by Senator I>hipjxs. of Ve

engage in any occupation. The pres
ent laws permit boys under 16 years to
work 10 hours a day, 58 hours a week,
and girls of the satne age 10 hours a
day. 54 hours a week.
The Brumbaugh eight-hour day child
labor bill forbids boys under 16 work
ing at ni£ht in the glass industry or
in any other occupation. The present
law permits boys under 16 years of I
age to work uny hours of the night in
continuous industries. Under the
Brumbaugh bill 110 minor would be per
mitted to engage in the telephone, tele
graph or messenger service between S

the mornii.g.
Applies to Newsboys
The Brumbaugh bill forbids boys un- j
dcr 14 and girls under IS to sell news

Boys under 16 and girls under 18 are
prevented from selling newspapers or

o'clock in the morning or after 8
o'clock in the evening. Under the pres
ent law. boys and girls of any ago mav
engage in selling newspapers, or in any
I street trade, at anv hour of the day j
or night.
The Brumbaugh bill provides that no!
; minor under IS years of age shall be I
permitted to work in extra hazardous I
\ occupations, and that no minor under j
j 16 years of age shall be permitted to I
j work in injurious occupations, and the !
; Industrial Board is given the right to j
determine what occupations are to be j
: classified as extra hazardous and as in- j
rjurious.
This twill has the full approval of j
j the Governor and Attorney General j
I Brown, and will be complemented by j
| another, to be introduced shortly. In 1
| the coming bill provision will be made
j for the issuance of employment certiti
| cates. for the physical examination of
! children desiring to enter industry un
j der 16 years of age, and for the edu
j cational requirements necessary to ob- 1
tain an employment certificate.
The Penalties Provided
The penalties for violation of the j
| act range from $lO to S2OO tine or
: imprisonment of not more than 10 days
jor both. The act does not apply to 1
j mii-ors employed in the mining indus
| tries.
The bill was referred to t'he Judiei- '
j ary General Committee at first, but sub- j

j Clain withdrew it from that committee |
I and referred it to the Judiciary Spe- I

CONFER ON PERSONAL PLEDGES :
Governor and Members of Legislative
Committee Act in Harmony
I Following a conference in the execu- J
j tive mansion last night betweeu Gov- ,
j ernor Brumbaugh and the Legislative
! committee created to confer with him
|on legislation covering his ''personal I
| platform" pledges, the following state- i
I inent was given out by the Governor: I
"All the members of the Joint Com- j
| mittee on Legislation of the House and
1 Senate met with the Governor and the
! Attorney General in the executive man- i,
| sion from 8 to 9.30 on Monday even- I
iug and discussed freely and at length
| the provisions of a fair and certain j
workmen's compensation act. It was !
j unanimously agieed that this session i
i should pass such a law.
"The question of a child labor law'
was also under discussion and its pro- j
I visions only partly considered, due to j
the fact that the committee was obliged
' to return for the evening sessions oft
j the Legislature.
"These and other bills will be ta-!
! ken up in detail at subsequent meet
ings."
Those at the conference, besides the
Governor, were Attorney General Brown,
Lieutenant Governor McClain, Senator !
Vare, who was invited to attend by his
I colleagues on the Legislative Commit- j
j tee, and these members of the Joint i
Committee: Senators MeNichol, Crow :
and Sproul and Representatives Henry
I. Wilson, of Tioga; William H. Wil- !
son, of Philadelphia, and George W. I
Williams, of Tioga, and also Speaker !
Ambler and President Pro Tem. Kline.
It was regarded as significant that I
before the child labor bill could be
"taken up" at a '-subsequent meet
ing" it was introduced in the Senate
and referred to committee.
Bill to Abolish a Department
A bill proposing an amendment to
the Constitution abolishing the Inter
