The report says that canners operat ing in tho rural districts have never obeyed the State child labor law, "because they never had to." "The employment of mere babies," the commission holds, "has been the re 8ult, and it adds that of 1,259 chil dren found at work In 33 sheds, tho oldest was 14 years old and ?he youngest was three." Many of the canners, tho report ex plains, are opposed to tho employ ment of children, and half of them do not? resort to lt, but "as the can ning industry is largely devoted to exploitation of foreigners, the par ents of the children, make them work."

Suspected of Trafficking in Votes Marked Money In Pockets. Charleston, W. Va., Feb. 12. With marked money in their pock ets, alleged to be the price of their votes in the United States Senatorial contest, which is causing a deadlock in the Legislature, four members of the House of Delegates and one mem ber of the Senate of West Virginia, were arrested in a hotel here late this afternoon by Sheriff Bonner Hill, in tho presence of the public prosecutor, Thomas C. Townsend. They were taken before Justice of th? Ponce C. W. Dcrrlng, where they each waived a hearing and were held in $5,000 bond. The accused men are Representatives U. S. G. Rhodes, Dr. H. F. Asbury, David E. HUI, Rath Duff and Senator B. A. Smith. Recently, Rhodes la alleged to have said, according to the prosecutor, that for something over $50,000, he could change six votes in the two houses. Acting on this report, lt ls stated, Prosecutor Townsend em ployed detectives. Part of the program was carried out, and to-day was arranged as "pay day." The mon wcro called to the hotel, and, lt ls charged, they were there paid with marked money. In an adjoining room Prosecutor Town send and Sheriff Hill awaited the signal that was to lay baro the al leged bribery. They had only a few minutes to wait, for, the transaction j over, the door was opened, and the, men invited to enter. The sheriff and prosecutor told the accused they wero under arrest, and within a few minutes they were in the justice's ofllc**. Votes Delivered?

It waa stated after the arrest that, of the $20,000 alleged to have been paid in marked money to the legislators, he i'ecelved $15,000. Duff is alleged to have re ceived $2,0Qj) and each of the others $1,000. HUGH T.OVC CAS?S COS'TlNtED. I _?j j Illness of His Wife Was the Cause of the Delay. I Alk?. Feb. ii. - At ii.iii o'clock yer,twid?v afternoon the case against Hugh Long, member from Aiken county to the lower house of the South Carolina Legislature, was call ed in the Court of General Sessions. Long is charged with murdering Pickens N. Gunter, bank president, and a cousin of Solicitor Robert L. Gunter, prosecuting attorney for the State in the late famous Beach case. The homicide occurred on the 28th of last September in the little town of i Wagner, in Aiken county. The case was first called immedi ately after the noon recess, but the defendant and counsel had not ar rived In tho court room, and during the succeeding interim tho Common wealth's attorney had sentences pass ed upon a number of defendants pleading guilty to minor offenses. The defendant was an object of much interest when, with his lower lip twitching nervously, he came In and seated himself, taking a hurried survey of the crowded court room and closely scrutinizing tho prose cuting attorneys, as they, with heads close together, conferred upon the case. An immense crowd had filed into tho court to hear the case, every seat being occupied an hour before it was called, and a very perceptible, clearly audible sigh of disappointment swept the house as the presiding Judge, Hon. T. fl. Spain, after hearing argu ments pro and con on the continu ance of the case, ruled In favor of the defendant and postponed 'his trial until the next term of General Sessions Court. Mr. Long's attorneys, Col. C. B. Sawyer and L. E. and T. G. Croft, based their motion for a continuance upon n number of contentions, most prominent among which was an affi davit to the effect that the defend ant's wife, a very material witness, was ill in North Carolina and her re moval to Aiken would imperil her life. Tho prosecuting attorneys, Col. D. S. Henderson and Solicitor Robert L. Gunter, opposing each other as coun sel for the defense and prosecution, respectively, in the famous Beach case, just finished, and Herbert E. Gyles, mayor of Aiken, stubbornly opposed the motion, declaring that "the interest of tho public will be subserved by a speedy trial of the I case." Jones-Haven't found your dog t yet, I hear.
