On Tuesday the McHenry lease bill
for the Western and Atlantic railroad
will be the special order, nnd lt Is
highly probable that the child labor
measure will come up for passage on
Thursday.
The senate committee on Immigra'
lion and labor reported the child labor
bill back Thursday morning with the
recommendation that It' pais, and ■
next Wednesday the measure will prob
ably be placed on Ita pas sirs ln tha
senate.
With the exception of seotlon 4 the
measure remalne unchanged from the
house bill passed several days ago. and
It le claimed by the committee that the
section wae rewritten simply to clai
the language. This section reads
follows:
"Section 4. Be It further enacted by
authority aforesaid that on and after
January 1, 1808, no child, except
heretofore provided, under 14 years
of age, shall be employed or allowed t
labor In or about any factory or man
ufaeturing establishment within this
state unless he or she can write his
or her name and simple sentences, and
shall have attended school for twelve
weeks of the preceding year, six weeks
of which attendance shall be conseou-
rive: and no such child as aforesaid
between the,ages of 14 and 18 years
shall be so employed unless such child
shall have attended school for twelve
weeks of the preceding year, six weeks
of which attendance shall be consecu
tive; end at the end of each year, until
■urh rhlld shall have passed the public
school age, an nfildavlt certifying as
to such attendance os required by this
section, shall be furnished to the em|
ployer by the parent or guardian
person sustaining parental relations
such child. The provisions of this sec
tlon shnll apply only to children enter.
Ing such employment at the age of
years or less.”
The committee was In session about
two hours Thursday morning and
heard from a number of mill men
Is believed that the bill as reported will
pass the senate and become a law.

no money to cover them.
Morris left Hephslbah some time

that he left for Baltimore.

New Tork, July 26.—Following tha
report that the last wilt of Russell
Sage, said to bequeath all of his es
tate of 160,000,000 to Mrs. Sage, would
be contested by the lata ’ financier's
Troy, N. V., relatives, Delaney Nlcoll,
counsel for her and tha other executora,
hurried to her residence at 626 Fifth
avenue early today and conferred with
her aa to what ahould be done,
It haa been expected that the will
would be opened at the Sage home In
the preaence of Mrs Sage, the other
executors and (heir counael today, but
Mr, Nlcoll stated positively that this
would not be done until tomorrow and
possibly not until the end ot the week.
'It waa stated the delay In opening
the will had been caused directly by
the announcement from the lawyer of
the Bags relatives that thay would con-
teat the will It they were out oft en
tirely from any participation In the dis
tribution of the estate, aa It waa rei
ported they were.
It wee announced today that the
last will of Russell Bage, signed '
1801, devises to hla widow every «___
of hla fortune, with the exception ot
the Insignificantly small bequest to
Mrs. Ftnnls Chapin, of Oneida, Mr.
Bage'a only slater, who died two years
ago.
It la asserted that tha charge will be
made that Mr. Sage virtually waa In
sane when he made this disposition of
hla estate, and that Mrs. Bage exerted
undue and active Influence to prevent
him from providing for tfm twenty-six
persona who are hla next of kin.
A lawyer representing prospective
contestants who live In Troy, N. Y„ la
quoted aa havfng clalmad that when
Mr, Sage "was not In a sound mental
condition" Mrs. Sage persuaded him to
revoke a previously drawn will, under
which each of hla next of kin would
have received about 11,000,000, and to
maka a new disposition of hla (state
absolutely In her favor.
