For all these things we say
Judge Cowan deserves the highest

That Court house is the pride of

SETTLING THE STRIKES
LABOR COMMISSION SUCCESSFUL Ex-
CEPT IN KINGAN CASE.
Trouble Between Evansville Street
LabOrers and Employers Adjusted
Singer COmpany's Affairs.

Labor Commissioner Mccormick returned
yesterday from Evansville, where he has
been acting as arbitrator in the strike of
the laborers employed on the new street.
paving contracts in that city. The men de-
manded $3.50 day of eight hours, while
the contractors refuse to pay more than 81
a day. Commissioner Mccormick held q
joint conference with both parties and in
a few minutes effected a settlement salts
factory to all parties. The men went back
to work yesterday to the number of six
hundred at an increased wage of SIPS, with
the promise of all future contracts being
taken on the basis Of paying all the men
$3.50 a day.
The Kingan strike remains unsettled in
spite of overtures on the part of the strikers
for a settlement Yesterday a committee
called on Commissioner Mccormick, re-
Questing him to use his good offices to set
tie the strike. He will, therefore, call on
the firm to-day and seek conference in
. which all sides will be represented. The
Kingan Company is in different position,
it is stated. from the general run of corpor-
atoms as, in spite of the strike, its business
is taken care of and all it's contracts are
filled promptly. This condition of affairs is
caused by an existing compact between the
packing houses controlled by Armour,
Swift Morris, Cudahy. Sinclair and others.
including Kingan & Co., by which. in case
of strikes or other misfortunes Detailing any
of the several firms, the others will see to
the filing of the firms contracts. In this
manner, it is said, the Kingan Company is
not worrying about the strike and is pre-
pared to wait all summer if need be to ac-
complish what it desires. In the meantime.
while the local packing house is apparently
idle, the firm continues to accept and fill
any kind of orders coming to it.
During the month of June the labor COM
mssioners settled every strike in the State
with the exception of the Kingan trouble.
and 1850 men were returned to work dur
ing the month at a substantial increase of
wages, against $50 during May.
The strike of the Singer Manufacturing
Companys employees at South Bend. which
was settled several weeks ago by six hun
bred men returning to work at increased
wages, has involved six hundred more men
who went out during that strike in SYM
pathy At the conclusion of the strike these
men did not ask for an increase, but now
want one, but, from present indications,
will not receive 1t.

fatty degeneration of the liver, which finally
ended his life at 10 o'clock last night In that
institution. Mr.. Cropsey was a member OF
the law firm of Cropsey & Marshall. though
for some years past he has practiced little.
He was born in this city about forty-nine
years ago and became prominent figure
in law when in 1870 he was chosen as IL
brarian of the Supreme Court. This posi-
ton he held until 1874, when he was elected
prosecuting attorney, which post he filled
for Criminal judge against Judge Buskirk,
but was defeated From 1878 until 1880 he
was a member of the Democratic state
committee, and during those years was a
power in that party. OF late however, he
has taken little or no part in politics and
has been more or less i'll all the time. His
first law partnership was formed with

A $4,000 CAMPAIGN FUND.
A New York Union Reported to Have
AIisappropriated Money.

There is report current in this city. in
which it is alleged the officers of the New
York Typographical Union, No. 6, have
been suspended, with the exception of the
vice president. The condition which
brought about this action is said to be a
shortage of nearly $4,000 in the funds of the
union. According to the report the missing
funds were used to secure the election of s..
B. Donnelly, the president of the union,
to the presidency of the international body.
Secretary Brentwood refused to discuss the
matter as he had not been advised of any
such situation. The matter, while primarily
a local matter altogether, must of necessity
initiate against President Donnelly, as, I'M
less the suspension is removed before next
fall when he should assume the duties of
the head Of the International Union, he will
be disqualified from holding Office.
President W. 3. Prescott is in Chicago at
tending to the stereotypers strike in that
city, and nothing could be learned as to
whether he had been advised of the affair
or not.

A SWIMMING TOURNAMENT.
One at Broad Ripple July 16-NO Fees
OF Any Kind. W

A swimming tournament, to be held at
Broad Ripple a week from next Saturday.
is to be arranged by number of local en-
thusiasts. This sport has not been very
strong favorite in Indianapolis until recent
years, when the availability of Broad Rip
pie as a swimming place was demonstrated,
although the holes in the creek and river
nearer town have always had their quota
of small boys on warm July afternoons. The
Broad Ripple Company has agreed to con-
tribute the necessary amount to purchase
gold medals to be awarded in each of the
events in the tournament, and the affair
will be conducted on amateur lines. There
will be no charge for admission to the park,
nor will any fee be exacted of those who
enter the contests. In addition to these
concessions, swimming suits will be fur
nshed without charge to those who enter
but DO not possess suits of their own.
The whole affair is in the interest Of enc
couraging the art of swimming. While
there are good swimmers in indianapolis
there are not enough stars to make the
contests one-sided. The first race Will be
started at 8 O'clock in the afternoon, and
the tournament will be over before {. o'clock.
There is long bluff at the park which af-
tors to get a good view of the swimmers.

A CONTRIBUTED RUN.
The Buckeyes Work Didn't EntitIe
Them Even to That.


Phillips had one Of his good days yes
terday and Columbus could do little effective
hitting. Four singles was the total result
OF the Ohio men and their one run was
largely a contribution by Phillips Bum
pus" Jones had wild streak in the fourth
that gave Indianapolis couple of runs and
he kept his catcher on the jump much of
the time. The unfortunate accident that
put Butler out of the game made it neces-
sary for Tebeau to play left, while Dick
Buckley guarded first There was some
very pretty fielding, Stewart looming up
with left handed stop in the fourth in
ming that saved two runs. 1t was as fine
play as has been seen here for some
time and robbed Buckley of a base hit that
might have put the game in jeopardy. AL
len made fine stop in the ninth of Genns's
hard grounder and Flynn's work at third
was fast. The best Columbus fielding was
done by Frank Genins, who cut off two
promising drives.
After retiring Tebeau's men In rapid style
in the first indianapolis proceeded to count
up two. Jones presented his old and highly
esteemed friend, Hogriever, with a choice
base on balls. Stewart tried to sacrifice,
but Buckley who picked the ball up,
thought to head off Hogriever at second and
aimed ball at that base. His throw went
wide, however. and both runners were safe.
Mcfarland also tried for a sacrifice, but
beat out his bunt and filled the bases. Motz
flew to Frank and Hogrever scored. Deadly
went out from short to first and Stewart
came home. Allen ended the inning by go
ing out from third to first.
That solitary Columbus run was scored in
the second after two hands were out.
Genins was passed to first and wild pitch
let him to second, from where he came
home on Buchley's hit to left. Sullivan
went out from pitcher to first.
Aliens hit to center started the Indian
apolis fourth and the captain stole second
after Lynch had hunted himself out on
strikes trying to sacrifice him to that bag.
A wild pitch moved him to third. Flynn
walked and Phillips went out to Buckley,
Allen scoring. Another wild pitch put Flynn
base by his old comrade ''Bumpus' and in

the game. There was one out when Frank

lens tumble of Genins's grounder sent him

Buckley started a hot one towards right
two runs seemed imminent, but Stewart
managed to get the grounder with one hand
and nailed Big Dick. The crowd gave the
second baseman great hand for the play
and he deserved it.
Allen scored the fifth and last Indian
apolis run in the sixth inning He opened
with hit to center and reached second on a
passed ball. Lynch flew to Woters. Allen
had third base stolen just as Flynn hit one
