The Atlanta Georgian. ATLANTA 1910 VOL. L NO. 69. ATLANTA, GA., 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."' Fsldsr Takes the Floor. 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 •*on connected with a newspaper, and h' fully recognised the efficiency of the eight-hour demand, but he did not think now the time to Imperil this bill h' loading It down with these amend ments, which the senate would not ac cept. j:« thought all the things the gentlemen were contending for would rntne In the evolution of this principles ASSURED, '(iMTr a Am rmr k PRICE: W.

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 Atlanta—304 000 10x--8 L.

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 tlrs world. 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* ports of hie death, but nothing dednlte represented "Syndicate."

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 Ih* poison gives evidence that It must have been phosphorus or som* similar poison, the effect of which la cumula tive.
