Violations of (he state factory laws have boen redtirod nearly one-half within the past, year, according to a report just made public. Tho vigilance of factory inspectors and cooperation of the owners have been followed by a hip; decrease in the number of illegal employes at work.

More than 1,000 cases were uncovered by the department of factory inspection during the past year alone. Tbis year the number will hardly reach half as many. Whether or not this material change is due to the activity of officers or to a now feeling among owners Is not explained, says the Chicago Journal, but the fact is brought out that conditions have been greatly changed. Fewer children are found working than ever before. Fewer cases are now reported to the factory inspectors by the school board than during the first weeks of any former school year.

"1 have never seen so few violations of the law," said Inspectoi Wood, when asked if he thought that tho bureau of which he is assistant chief was making decided headway. "It is absolutely certain that much has been done. Not only are our sources of information iilore steady, hut. we are getting the co-operation of almost every factory owner in tin city. It is only unscrupulous foremen that insist upon violating tht, laws." Under the present arrangement, it a child listed in the school roster is found missing from classes, the factory inspector is notified.

By working in conjunction, the inspector and the truant officer generally find the child and have another pupil added to the class list before many clays have passed. Information concerning violations is always finding its way to factory inspectors; it comes to them by telephone, by letter, by word of mouth. Discharged employes an; ever ready to "peach" on their old employers if anything irregular is going on. Underpaid labor seeks to revenge itself by informing officers of wrongdoing. Amateur sleuths also aid the factory inspectors.

Workers who have grievances against their employers, their foremen or fellow workmen are always in keeping the officers posted fin any new activities in manufacturing establishments. Hut the little workers themselves are the ones that can't be relied upon, even to appearing in court. Only yesterday a telephone call came to the office of a factory inspector. Jt was from a youth fourteen years old, who complained that, together with nine others, he was being compelled to work more than eight hours a day. The inspector immediately went to the factory, where he verified the statement.

It came about, however, because the foreman wanted a "hurry up" job finished and disregarded his employer's instructions. The law requires that no boy or girl under fourteen years of age shall work more than eight hours a day. Violations of this statute are very few of late, for the foremen have come to respect the law. RATES EXPLAINED. Grand Master of Ancient Order United Workmen Visits Members in free port.

A. B. Hendricks, of Sterling, Errand master of the Illinois grand lodge of the Ancient Order of United Workmen, was in the city visiting members of the lodge of this city and talking over matters pertaining to the new rates which have been established by the order. At 1 o'clock he met with the ofllcers and directors of the lodge and explained to them the new rates and the reasons for adopting them, which have not been fully understood by the older members, and for this reason several have been caused to drop from the order, but from the way the gentleman explained the matter there is little danger of a misunderstanding in the future. In the past there have been eleven options or plans under which a person could join the order, and now these have been eliminated and the single plan adopted.

This places the rate a little higher, but also eliminates the step plan whereby each member has been compelled at the expiration of eacli five years to pay a- higher premium. A reserve fund has been established and hereafter each member who has been ii the order three years lias the privilege of using this to pay for an extension in insurance or borrow or his policy. One of the principal advantages which have been gained is the as of the supreme lodge in tin payment of the death claims, the order having been quite slack this matter and will in the future pay all claims within thirty day of the notice of the death in tin supreme office. Mr. Hendricks left this afternoor for Rockford, where he will hold i union meeting of all the lodges thi evening and endeavor to set matter straight in their minds as to tin nature of the new rates.

CORONERS DRAFT NEW BILL in Legislative Committee to Meet Springfield in November. The legislative committee of the Illinois Coroner's association will meet in Springfield in November to draft a bill to ho presented to the next legislature in accordance with resolutions adopted at the state convention in Chicago recently. The committee will hold another session while the legislature is in session in order to meet the new law makers in an ell'ort to have their bill passed. Many ut' the rules under which the ollice of coroner are conducted are not part of tho statutes and have become customs by constant use. The Coroners' association want these customs and other means of protection for their otlicers placed on the statutes.

The instruct ions given by the state convention to tho committee which will be drafted into a bill are of the fnlluwing points: compel witnesses to answer questions under a penalty for refusing. to he held anil paid for on the order of the coroner. per diem foe for coroner when inquests extend over one day. compel physicians to report eases to coroner und a penalty for failure to do so. for moving or disturbing a dead body without authority from tho eorpner.

'Sixth not to inject embalming lluid into a body until the coroner allows, under penalty. Seventh rudertakers not to use any fluid containing arsenic- or try eh ui ne inuler any circumstances. to be allowed the same Ire the sherilf for serving subpoenas. BETTER THAN CURFEW BELL Hanover Has Mystery Over Woman in as Spook. Hanover has a woman in whit mystery.

A lady on the no'rth sid is'credited with starting across th foot-bridge, as the narrow floatinj walk across the river is called When part way across the laclj saw the woman in white ap preaching, and not relishing tli idea of meeting her in such lonesome spot, she turned back and went home! Another version i that one night the woman was seer near the wool -h mill, when she le out, a shriek which sounded like th banshee's last wail, and nearlj frightened the hearer out of lie senses. is said that a youn man residing on the north sid returned homo one evening saw the woman in white sitting porcli of his home, and he turn ed hack for town, and later when returned the woman was not visible Sunday night Marshal Kimmin saw tli'e woman and followed her to the home of J. W. White, where she sat down on the porch, and the marshal thinking that she was some member of the household did not pursue his investigation farther, but now he thinks lie knows who she is. The Journal says until the mystery is solved, the woman in white will probably do more to keep children off tin- streets after the curfew bell rings, than tho bell has ever done.
