BLOOMINGTON, Ind, Oct. 25.-The re-
cent White Cap outrages committed in
Monroe county are to be thoroughly inveS-
tigated under the instruction of Judge Mar
tin. to the grand jury, which convened this
morning. After the usual formal charge
Judge Martin, referring to the number of
such outrages having been reported in the
county, said:
'On several occasions since the last term
OF this court some of the citizens of your
county have so far forgotten themselves
as to resort to mob violence 1t is claimed
in defense of those who have done so that
in no case have they punished any one in
this unlawful manner unless the person or
persons so punished were justly deserving
the full measure of the punishment
so inflicted; and it is further urged that
these people are forced to take the law into
their own hands because this court does
not promptly punish petty crimes in our
midst
Gentlemen, ask you to so thoroughly
do your duty in sitting out crime in Mon
roe county that there will no longer be the
slightest excuse for this mob spirit and l
ask you gentlemen to probe to the bottom
these laWless acts Of mob violence by your
action impress on those who have so acted
in violation of law the fact that they them
selves are criminals; that by their acts they
have cast stain on themselves, on their
county and on the State of Indiana; stain
tn 1T must be wiped out by a prompt and
vigorous punishment of the guilty parties.
This sort of conduct must and shall cease.
1t is not only criminal, but it is ruinous
alike to the moral standing and business
and fraacial interests of your county.
charge you 60 do your duty like men,.
James A. Earring. the new prosecuting at
torLey. is in full sympathy with the judge
in seeing that the men guilty of this mob
violence be brought to- justice and has
been investigating the situation for several
days. He has caused the clerk to issue
about 100 subpoenas, covering different sec
tions of the county and within the next
two weeks there is likely to be develop
ments of an interesting nature. 1t is re-
ported that four different White Cap out
RACES are to receive special attention, and
most Of the time of the grand jury will be
devoted to this special work.

The Writing of plays.

New York Commercial Advertiser
That few good plays are written is partly
due, no donht. 20 the fact that every play,
to be successful. must be nicely adjusted to
THE various demands of a mixed audience.
The novelist, and to q greater degree the
poet and the painter, need only TO consider
a relatively simple audience, one where
there are not SO many degrees of intelli-
gence and culture. It is. therefore, easier
10 meet the demand. and good paintings
and poems have never been SO rare as good
plays. On the other hand when a good
play is written, when the playwright has
succeeded IN meeting the serious ideals of
= complicated demand the result is some
thing catholic and vital. great play is a
greater thing than great painting or even
n great poem, and great precisely because
OF the complicated difficulties. which are
thrown IN the way of its production. The
fact that. however excellent IL may be from
a cultured point Of view, II must also be
popular, makes all super-subtie, whimsical.

crowd thus acts as a check 10 the merely

The girl continued singing and the father
grew so angry he sprang out of bed,
grabbed a shotgun and fired at the girl. The
load barely missed her head and tore out
a panel in the kitchen door. The girl ran
screaming to a neighbours house and Sam
Webb rushed to Liberals, where he found
the father reloading his gun. He was dis
armed and later placed under arrest This

the fight which is on among the workers in
the starting of the Union window-g glass
works. Matt Storey, of Hartford City, and
William Click, of SweetZer, who accepted
places in the plant as cutters, have disap-
peared, and it is understood that from some
source or other they received $3.50 each,
signed the cutters new association men,
bership and got out of the city. President
Burns is bringing in new men to take their
places. This move has brought out some ill
feeling. The fatteners went to work to-day
and the cutters will begin tomorrow. 1t is
claimed that the start is the best the COM
pany has ever had.
