CHILD LABOR LA W
IS NOW
Bell Bill Passes House
By a Vote of
125 to 2.
MEASURE IDENTICAL
WITH SENATE BILL
Attempt Made to Saddle
Amendments on House
Measure Proved a
Failure.
By th« overwhelming and almost
unanimous vote of 115 to 2 the child
labor bill of Hon. Madison Bell, of
Fulton, passed the house Monday aft
ernoon, and this news will carry happl
neas to thousands of people throughout
Georgia.
The bill passed Monday was a sub
stitute proposed by Representative
Bell's committee for that Introduced
by himself, and Is Identical with the
measure Indorsed by the twenty-three
senators In the senate.
Perry Amendment the Test,
The real test between that friends of
the bill In the house and those appar
ently opposed to Its passage was over
the amendment proposed by Mr. Per
ry, of Hall. This provided that no child
under 16 years of age should be re
quired to work more than eight hours
a day. On Its face this appeared to be
a recognition of the eight-hour day
contention, but the friends of the meas
ure objected strenuously to any ex
traneous matter being put In the bill,
and they fought this proposition with
might and main.
Bell Assisted by Felder.
Representative Bell was ably assist
ed In the management of the bill by
Representative Tom Felder, of Bibb.
Representative Blackburn, of Fulton,
also allied In the deteat of the Perry
amendment. Speaker Slaton, occupy
ing the chair, of course, took no part In
the discussion. i
The advocates of the Perry amend
ment marshaled more strength In fa
vor of that provision than was expect
ed. Their speakers elicited all the ap
plause, the friends of the measure re
Stratton 1 .
mein which foreshadowed the effective
victory they Anally accomplished.
Resentment Against Senate.
Throughout the discussion there
• cropped out resentments upon the port
of inuny of the speakird of what they
regarded as ‘'sensational threats," and
the upper house loading It over the
lower house.
Child labor legislation Is nearer con
summation In Georgia than ever before
In Its history. As the senate cannot In
honor recede from Its own bill, Its pass
ukc there Is but a matter of form, and
In a few days at most It should go to
the governor for his approval.
It was a great victory for Mr. Bell
and his able lieutenants.
There was not much oratory expend
ed In the house Monday over the Bell
child labor bill previous to the roll call,
due to the committee on rules In re,
porting the resolution Axing this bll
for a special continuing order. This
resolution limited the debate to thirty
minutes.
Mr. Felder Inquired whether. If the
previous question were called,* the
chairman of the committee might have
twenty minutes, which was granted by
the speaker.
Mr. Bell, the author of the bill and
chairman of the committee on labor
and labor statistics, consumed the 30
minutes allowed. He did not object to
the Akin amendment, which merel;
changed certain verbiage of the bill
and which did not affect Its merits.
ilblr
bill here
would Jeopardise
loss of one vote In the senate would kill
the hill. Irrespective of Its passage In
the house. He specially urged the edu
cational feature of the bill, and
thought this was advantageous alike to
the mill owners as well as the chil
dren.
Pet Amendments.
Several members had pet amend'
mi nta which' they offered, and very
anxiously Inquired of Mr. Bell what ob'
Jcetlons be had to his particular
amendment. Messrs. Covington and
Colquitt, Knight of Berrien, and Akin
of Bartow and Grlflln of Cobb shot
questions at the Fulton member In
rapid-Are succession, to which he an-
•wered with quickness and clearness.
Mr. Covington, In response to Mr.
Bell's statement that some members
ha<l already Monday morning let fall
the hint that they would vote against
the bill if it were loaded down with any
amendments. Inquired If the gentlemen
•ere not In a hopeless minority last
Fear.
"las," replied Mr. Bell, "but the
Jsnate. you must remember. Is not as
•»»rw helmlngty In favor of this blit as
the house."'

Mr. Bell, Including the many Inter-
rui'ttnna, occupied Just ten minutes,
•n<l gave the remainder of his time to
Mr. Felder, of Bibb, who took up only
eight mlntes, the remaining two being
•‘■corded Mr. Stovall, of Chatham.
Messrs. Felder and Stovall both sp
iraled to the house not to alter this
“ill. but to send It to the senate, so
that its passage would not be imperiled.
Mr. Felder thought that legislation
* as urgently needed for the protection
°f the children of the atate.
Mr. Stovall said he had for years

h' fully recognised the efficiency of
the eight-hour demand, but he did not
think now the time to Imperil this bill

IS SIDNEY LASCELLES
ALIVE AND POSING
AS ENGLISH LORD■
By Private Leasetl Wire.
Boston, July 16.—After being wined,
dined and "lorded" by Boston's* most
exclusive circles, “Sir Beresford Hope,
member of parliament, Carlton Club;
London," who la said to have Intro
duced Into tha wild and woolly West
thd' most approved system of frensled
finance, has left Boston with the police
hot on his trail, leaving General Nel
son A. Allies, members of the Universi
ty Club, the congregation of the fash
ionable Church' of the. Advent, and
numerous representatives of Boston's
'40#“ to wonder who he really Is.
From the similarity of his lordship's
alleged operations to those of the no
torious Sidney Lascelles, said by aoms
to be dead and by others to be very
much alive, and In the absence of the
much-wanted-man to prove to the con
trary, the police believe "Sir Beresford
Hope” may be none other than Las
celles, who operated extensively under
the name of Lord Beresford.
'Sidney Worked Georgia.
Lascelles first came Into the limelight
through his operations at Rome, Ga.,
where he made himself much sought
after by the wealthy and exclusive cir
cles of society of that hustling Georgia
city. After a varied career he married
the daughter of a capitalist of Finger-
aid. Go. Not long oai he was reported
dead.
Chief Watts said last evening that he
was by no means sure Sir Beresford
Hope and Lord Beresford are not one
and the same person. .The chief differ
ence In the description of the two men
whs the difference in height. Accord-
to the police records, Lascelles is

ing to the police records, isascewes is
6 feet 7 Inches tall, while Hope is de-
.im anv omwarn nomon. acrlbed by those whom he became ac-
Ssy They Look Aliks.
Several people were shown pictures
of Lascelles, and while none could pos
itively Identify them, yet several re
marked on the great similarity of the
appetrance of the two men.
Walter McGinnis, who attended hie
"lordship" at the fashionable boarding
home, the Otla, on Mt. Vernon street,
declared that the picture of LascMIes
resembled In a marked degree the man
two or three weeks.
Whlls so far as Is known Hope's op
orations In Boston were not of a crlm
Inal nature, the Boston police are aft
him on complaint of the Salt Lak
City police.
On Forgery Charge.
Coincident with Hope's depnrtur
from the Hub, Deputy Sheriff Joaep
C. Sharp, of Sait Lake City, left ther
for Boston armed with a warrant fo
his arrest on the specific charge
the forging of the name of John 1
to certificates of atock of the Gren
Western Coal and Iron Company. Th
officer la expected to arrive In Bostdi
late tonight.
All day yestarday the police wer
working to connect Hope with Las
celtes, alias Lord Beresford, alias Si
Harry Vane, alias Robert Leonard, etc.
etc., etc., I >wn aa one of the mos
clever gentlemen swindlers In tho en

He was arrested here on complain
of tha police of Hot Springs, Ark., aril
taken back to that city January IS
1(02. The charge waa the larceny o;
31,200 from Lyman T. Hay. In Ho
Springs Lasceilea had a long trial
which ended In a disagreement,
cording to the police, he forfeited hli
bonds In the end nnd disappeared
Since then the police have heard rO*

'• Thomaevllle, Ga, July 16.—A very
evident attempt, It la believed, la being
made to poison the family of Mr*. Alice
Futch, at their horn* seven miles from
Thontaavllle, near Mttralf. Aa many
as' twenty-one peopla wer* mad* sick
by poison In ons day last week. At
first It was thought thal tha alckneaa
might have resulted from some weed
that tha cows had eatan, but almost
every one of the eltlrs number who
ate dinner at tha home Friday are still
lick, though none has yet died. Th*
family has been made sick four limes
during ih* past six weeks, and though
they lind feared some attempt waa be
ing made to poison them, they had
taken no deltnlte step* to trace out the
matter.
Family Physician Poisoned.
■ Iaist Friday, Dr. A. P. Taylor, of
Thomuavllle, a member of the state
board of health, was called to attend
Mrs. Fulch, who had been attacked
with a peculiar Illness on Wednesday.
He 1 was Invited to slay for dinner and
did sd. Thsre wer* several other
¥ uesla present, among whom waa Rev.
'. A. While, a prominent Baptist min
ister of Thomasvllla; also Mrs. J. C.
Thomas, of Metralf, and ths two sons
of Mr*. Futch, Allis and John. Very
soon after dinner the guests were taken

’ •hat he could hardly get home.
Neighbor's Children Poisoned.
During th* afternoon Mrs. Kerr, a
neighbor of the Putrheo, and her two
children, cam* over for a short visit.
The children asked for something to
eat, and were given a biscuit. It »na
not long until they, ton, were sick. Th*
negro cook and her three children wer*
among Ihe sick one* and ah* was still
so sick that sh* could not get break
fast this morning.
Poison Probably In Milk.
The negro families on the place sent
over to Ihe house In the afternoon and
asked for some nillk. Every one of
them who tasted th* milk waa sick. It
Is concluded from this that th* poison
must havs been' put Into th* milk,
from which Ihe bread was mad*.
‘ Dr. Taylor atates that the affect of

poison, the effect of which la cumula

that the end has yet come.
