Sr^p^va; «5M? PPUR State Now Ranks Fifth in Number of Children Under 16 Years of Age at Work. EMPLOYERS CO-OPERATE Owners of Factories Trying to Help State Department in Bettering Conditions and Solving Labor Problems. Child labor in Illinois is on the de- crease, and the state now ranks fifth in the percentage of children under sixteen that are employed in some kind of labor. With sympathetic co- operation of the employers the state department of factory inspection will even lower this very good record with- in the next year, at least that is the opinion of Mr. Edgar T. Davies, chief of the department, who spoke at the Sunday afternoon meeting at the Cen- tral Y. M. C. A. yesterday. Pictures Illustrate Conditions. Sunday was the national "Child La- bor" day, and the association was fortunate in securing an able speaker to address it In addition to the lecture, he showed seventy-five views illustrating points which he brought out relative to the employment of chil- dren. The pictures showed a wide range of employment; the coal pickers in the mines in the central and south- ern part of the state; the workers in the cotton mills of the South, where very great danger exists due to the complicated and dangerous machinery that these small workmen are called upon to operate. Pictures of the work- ers in the glass industries at Alton were shown. The men here work in temperature of 130 degrees. The own- ers of these factories are trying to co- operate with the state department in finding; some way to reduce this ex- cessive; neat and not injure the glass. In Chicago the papers will have to get men and boys above the age of 16 to call the extras issued after 8 o'clock at night Within a month an ordi- nance goes into effect which win keen the young newsboys off "the street al- ter this hour. A number of pictures were shown of newsboys and news- girls, and the hardships which they suffer. Mr. Davies has thirty men working under his direction, and they are in- specting factories in 102 counties in this state. One of the largest crowds that the Sunday afternoon meetings has drawn was present yesterday, and among the number were a great many employers of labor. EVAN3T0HPQUGEAID HUMANE SOCIETY The police department of Evanston has been co-operating with the Bvans- anston Humane society in the enforce- ment of the laws regarding the proper treatment of horses. During the re- cent cold snap many of the drivers around town were careless of the man- ner in which they cared for the ani- mals. On Tuesday the society had Michael McDonald of Chicago make a trip to Evanston to look over the hones that were on the streets and Bee that they were not being inhumanely treated by the driv- ers. The owners of eighty horses were ordered to provide them with blankets. Mrs. Merrill Eshbaugh, 1051 Aabury avenue, assisted him in his work. The police have also been watch- ing the matter carefully. According to Chief Schaffer, the patrolmen have been given orders to keep their eyes open for abusing drivers, and to order such horses as were not properly cared for off the streets. Yesterday several horses were ordered off duty until they had been properly shod. The chief stated that as the cold weather had not continued he did not think it would be necessary to take any immediate action about blankets for horses, but that if the weather became more frigid, this matter would also be taken care of.

Platform Presented by M. B. Ster- rltt Not Thought Necessary tor Man Selected. A week ago a meeting ot representa- tives of the voters of the sixth ward was held at the home ot C. W. Spot- ford, in Evanston', to consider bringing out a candidate to represent the ward in the city council. Three or four names" were presented and a com- mittee headed by Prof. Grant was ap- pointed to confer with the mennameo and report at a general meeting to bt called by the committee. About sixty leading men of the ward met Thursday night in the Central street school to hear the report of the committee. M. W. Green was elected chairman and R. K. Row, secretary The following resolution was pre- sented by C. H. Rose and unanimously adopted: "Resolved, That if a capable and sat- isfactory candidate be selected, we, voters of the sixth ward, in tbia mass meeting assembled, favor the elation this year of an alderman from the east part of the ward." M. B. Sterrett presented a somewhat elaborated platform as an expression of the meeting for the guidance of the candidate to be named* After consid- erable discussion it was decided a plat- form was unnecessary; that a candi- date of recognised ability, integrity and civic experience would insure the best platform for the campaign. Prof. U. S. Grant reported that his committee had canvassed the men named at the previous meeting and that one of the best valine* men in {the city had consented to become a f candidate if endowed by this meeting. Mr. Frederick A Yard made this (nominating speech, presenting the name of IKornlanO.^ was seconded by Dwlght Perkins and supported by R. Clarence Brown,'John W. Thomas, Willard B. Hotchklas and several others. Whan called every man in the hall stood up and applauded the choice. Last toot there was a warm contest between the] east and west sides of the ward hut last night there could not have been more complete unanimity. Mr. Klngsley came Just as the nomi- nation was made and made a happy speech of acceptance. Petitions were circulated and more than the required number of names secured to place his name upon the ballot. Mr. Kingsley's petition was filed Fri- day morning by U. S. Grant. EVANSTON PEOPLE OBEY LAWS TO THE LETTER Evanston is such a law-abiding city that the police department have rec- ord of only one arrest in the past two weeks, and that was for a minor offense. No burglaries of any conse- quence have been reported, although such things as raiding chicken coops is a common occurence. The book at the station in which all events, both good and bad, are recorded, has noth- ing but entries of still alarms of fire. Whether this state of affairs to due to the fact that the residents of the city have utmost respect for statute law and the ordinances, or that the police department is efficient and have the unruly element in check, is a ques- tion open to discussion. Possibly It li a mixture ot both situations. ACADJMY HAS WIRELESS •TATIQK, The Evanston Academy has in Its Physics department the first wireless plant in Evanston.

When the spirit of Timothy O'Con- nell went out at 1:80 o'clock, Jan. 22, at the Evanston hospital, there passed away a sterling soul and a most charming personality. A man of great moral strength and of integrity of character, he was one of the moot re- spected citizens of the community in which hje had lived for the past thirty- four years. He will be long remem- bered for his excellent record here as a justice of the peace, a position he filled in the town for sixteen years. To this office he brought a keen sense of justice, absolute impartiality, and a love of fair play. He was a type of the old-fashioned magistrate, who re- spected himself and his office too much to step as much as a hair's breadth from the strict line of duty, and this was a characteristic which won for him the high esteem in which he was held. Judge CConnell was born in Que- bec, Canada, March 8,1832. His young manhood and middle life were spent in the square timber shippings busi- ness. He was married to Matilda Ums ot Quebec In 1865. Seven chil- dren resulted from this union. Mrs. O'Coaneli died in this city Jan. 8, 18J7. Two of the children, Joseph T. and Harry P.. died here. During the years that Judge CCon- nell lived in Quebec, be was very ac- tive in Catholic an* Irish national af- fairs. He came to Evanston with his family in 1879. He was first elected justice of the peace in 1892, and was repeatedly re-elected until 1908, when he retired from a position the citlsens would have been glad to have seen him keep for life. He is survived by five children, William J., Margaret F., and Mrs. Annie Devine of Evanston; Edward J-, of Chicago and Nicholas J., of Temple, Tex. The funeral was held from his late residence, 1017 Ayars place, to St Mary's church, Friday morning at 10 o'clock. •VIM>INQ PJRJjHTS. One-story poultry heuae, 1901 Grant street.
