neither the Pinkertons. nor the state

nized force, had anything to do with
that outrage. 1t was "men of grit"
who, who. in response to an open offer
of ''s5 per day." rendered their services
to the Missouri Pacific Railway Co, and
who, with Winchester rifles supplied
by the corporation, assassinated five
men, one woman and n child. In view
of this fact, and in view of the further
fact that outragcs of a similar charac-
ter were perpetrated before the Pink

that men who believe the destruction

rapidly dividing our people into two
classes-those who are able to hire

condition which not only permits, but
which is rapidly fastening the division
of the people into plutocrats and pau

democrats nor republicans are in favor
of a change, except for the worse, is
proved by the fact that the only differ
ence between them is a question of
which of two ways of using the nations

there would never have been such a

Until this Just and basic economic

and not the inconsequential question

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 1.-The fact that
Somerby started west from Philadel-
phia Saturday noon, and had not APP
pcared in Indianapolis up to Sunday
night, has determined the plaintiffs in
the rcceivership suit to institute crimi-
nal proceeding against him early in the
morning. An affidavit will be filed
charging him with perverting $4,000
of the funds of the order to his own
use in 1921. and fraudulently transfer
ring large sums from Indianapolis to his
bank in Philadelphia, and asking for a
warrant for his arrest. The charge
againt Somerby will be perversion of
the funds of the order This is the
same charge as that in the complaint.
Somerby has been expected all day. but
when the last train from the east ar
rived sunday night without him, the
attorneys began to think he is seeking
to evade the officers of the court.
