STRONG TESTIMONY.

prosecuting John Meshler. In her state
ment that her ruin was accomplished
in Mrs. Stephens house, she was cor
roborated by Meshler who admitted
that he took the girl there, and also
that he had gone there with q number
OF other young girls.
Mrs. Stephens defense was that she
is poor widow, unacquainted with the
ways of the world, and If persons of
immoral character imposed on her she
should not be held accountable for it.
After she had testified that she eked
out living at dressmaking and keep
ing few dodgers. the prosecution
showed that she was paying $3150 a
month rent. There were some lively
exchanges between Mr.. Scragg and
Messrs. Martin & Vidaver, attorneys,
respectively for the prosecution and de-
fense. The jury went out at noon time
but up to adjournment had not reached
a verdict.
Maggie Thomas, one of the accused
shoplifters, was called to answer for
stealing from Goldsmith's bazaar, but
the evidence against her was not suf-
ficient to warrant conviction and a
verdict of not guilty was taken.
At adjourning time, in court room
No. 2, Mary Murphy, a 14-year-old girl,
was on trial for larceny by bailee. The
prosecutriX is Mrs. Winifred Dough-
erty, the Wyoming avenue milliner, by
whom the girl was employed. Last
fall Mrs. Dougherty gave the girl $3.50
to deposit in the bank. When the
book was returned it was found that
she had been credited with only s179.
The girl denies having taken the $11,
but Mrs. Dougherty is positive she did
because the money was carefully
counted by both Mrs. Dougherty and
one of her clerks and securely tied it
in a bag before giving it to the mes
senger girl.

PROTECT YOUNG GIRLS.
The Y. w. C. AS WOrIk-CIOsing Ses-
siOns Last Night.

The three days convention of the State
Young Womens Christian Association
closed last night with a farewell service at
the First Presbyterian Church. Miss Har-
riet Taylor, of Chicago, international secre-
tary Of the association, delivered an address
on the work Of the association and its wide
scope.
IN beginning she said there are many
ready to argue on the statement that
women do not need Outstanding influence
as men do. No doubt, she said, that is to an
extent true, but the fact is that as more
occupations are thrown open to women and
more women go to work for their own iiv-
ing. the more necessary does 1t become that
they be reached by such an association as
the Young Womens Christian Association.
She pointed out that p per cent. of the
100000 women who are now earning their
living are illiterate and 80 per cent. do not
belong to church. There is now great
tendency to undermine home life. and there
is parallel tendency toward immortality
She said there are $4,000 erring women in
the country to-day. The cure for this con-
clifton, she said, is largely in the hands of
women, because they are indulgent to the
men who lead women astray and are cold
in their judgment of these women them
selves One of the growing features of Y.
w. &. A. work is looking out for country
girls who come to the cities seeking work.
ignorant of the dangers of the cities Many
city associations have depot matrons who
look after these girls and protect them
Every city, Miss Taylor said, should have
the Young Womens Christian Association
building open every hour of the day and
night to receive girls who are strangers. The
ideal development along this line is to have
IN control of the association an employment
bureau and a Christian clearinghouse di-
rectory. Miss Taylor called attention to the
strength of the educational feature of the
association. A girl who passes successfully
an examination on the educational work Of
the association is eligible to enter De PAW
University without further examination
The cooking and industrial training which
the association Is Offering 10 girls. Miss Tay-
Tor spoke of as a work which is dong great
good.
The delegates to the convention had all
ready subscribed 500 toward the expenses
for the coming year. The executive COM
mittee estimated closely that $1.150 was
necessary. The congregation present last
night was asked to make up the difference

BAILEY'S LAST DODGES
TRAINMEN SQUELCH AN ATTEMPT TO
INDORSE HIM.
Union Labor Shows Him the Cold
Shoulder, While 1t Conn
mends Overstreet.

Leon Bailey closes his campaign for Con-
gress on the Democratic ticket without the
semblance of Endorsement, in any shape or
form, from organized labor: indeed, union
men in this county are highly indignant at
him for the manner in which he tried to
bring the despised knights of Labor
Hayes here to speak in his behalf. Bailey
has spent a great deal of his time attempt
ing to explain to laboring men that he real
ly is their friend. On the other hand, Mr..
Overstreet has received only the kindest as
surances from organized labor. His work
in behalf of the International Typographical
Union, and in other union matters, has
made him strong among union men. The
official organ of the Central Labor Union,
the Indiana Federation of Trade and Labor
Unions and the Indianapolis Union Label
League complimented him in its issue last
week, saying that he had done much to
commend himself to the laboring classes,
that he had famiiiarized himself with the
different unioRs in his district and had sup
ported all measures before Congress urged
by the labor unions.
The friends of Bailey yesterday made a
desperate effort to get just one Endorsement
for him by an organized body, but the at
tempt failed most ANONYMOUSLY. The five
organizations of trainmen, the Brotherhood
of Engineers, the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Firemen, the Order of Railway Con-
ductors, the Order of Railway Trainmen
and the Order Of Railway Telegraphers held
large meeting in their hall on Monument
Plaza yesterday afternoon, over 175 men,
bers being in attendance. Considering the
fact that a great many members of these
organizations are on the road on Sunday,
this ATTENDANCE is regarded as unusually
large. One member sought to introduce a
resolution complimenting Leon Bailey, but
the resolution had not been read further
than a half dozen lines when a storm of
protests went up in all parts of the hall,
and before the reader could catch his Sec
ond breath the resolution had been
squelched. Many members were indignant
that such resolution should be brought to
the meeting place.

LAST DAY FOR TAXES.
Immense Quantity of Mail Floods the
Treasurer.

This is the last day in which people may
pay their fall installment of taxes without
having the penalty attached The clerks in
the treasurer's office expect a big rush to-
day. The office was a very busy place on
Saturday, and from o'clock in the morn
ing until the doors were closed at o'clock
in the evening" there was a jam of people
eager to pay their assessments. The re-
ceipts in cash on Saturday were about
$4,000. In the last three or four days, large
quantities of mail have been accommodating
in the office which the clerks have not yet
been able to open. The most of it is in the
shape of envelopes that are supposed to
contain checks from the large corporations,
their taxes always being paid in this way
Deputy Treasurer Miller estimates that
when this mail is opened checks amounting
to at least 100000 will be in the hands of the

THAT HEINRICHs CIRCULAR.
Bailey Paid for the Postage with His
Own Check.


Own Check.
A number of Republicans called at the
Journal yesterday to tell it of the con-
temptible circulars issued by one Heinrichs,
who poses as a Republican, seeking to in
jure the candidacy of Mr.. Overstreet. These
circulars were scattered broadcast through
the mails, and the Republicans at once
recognized the circular as eleventh-hour
dirty work on the part of Leon Bailey, who
paid for the postage with his own check.
Heinrichs and Tom Taggart were together
Saturday night, and the circulars were put
in the postoffice that evening.
1t was the expectation that the same
would not be delivered until Monday morn
ing, and the scurrilous trick, backed by
candidate Bailey, could not be exposed until
Tuesday morning, then too late to counter
act any effect such a miserable scheme
could produce. 1t happened however,
that well-known Republican called
for his mail late Saturday evening, and,
coming into possession of the circular,
TUNED it over to the Journal Republicans
who received the circular were asking who
the man HeinrichS was. The circular tries
to stir up friends of Colonel Harry Smith,
Republican candidate for auditor, against
Mr.. Overstreet and also fill the minds of
Mr.. Overstreet's friends with distrust for
Colonel Smith. HeinrichS is a fellow who
has been fighting both candidates. and has
CunnlnSly devised THIS circular, as ne De-
lieves, to be a sword to cut both ways. AS
stated in the Journal yesterday, Colonel
Smith has this to say of Heinrichs:
"Heinrichs is neither a friend nor support
er of mine. but has been engaged in making
the bitterest fight he knows how upon Mr.
Overstreet, and with the assistance of the
Democratic committee, now seeks by circu-
lar to set the friends of each against the
other. 1 repudate both Heinrichs and his
circular, and hope that no friend of mine
will give any attention to these circulars,
issued by a man without either following or
influence in the community. Mr.. Over
streets record as a congressman is 2bSO-
lutely beyond reproach. and he should re-
ceive the support of every Republican and
every man who believes in honest money
and good government

Eight Hour Law Sustained.

WASHINGTON, March LIN the su-
preme court today an opinion was
handed down in the case of e. f. Hol-
den, VS. the Sheriff Of Salt Lake county,
Utah, involving the constitutional
ity Of the territorial Law fixing a days
work in smelters and mines in the terri
tory at eight hours. Holden was ar
rested for violating the law and sen
fenced to Imprisonment for the oifense.
He brought the case to the supreme
court in an effort to secure writ of err
ror on the ground that the law was un-
constitutional in that it was calculated
to deprive a citizen Of life or property
without due process Of law. The
court held that such was not the case,
but that the law was an exercise Of the
states police powers.
