THE GAS CONFERENCE


r. n. Lamb. president and also the attor-
ney OF the Consumers Gas Trust Company,
visited the office of the Board of Works
yesterday morning to talk over the letter
sent to each of the gas companies the day
before 1t had been intended have other
representatives present from both gas COM
panies. but owing TO a misunderstanding
as to the time of the conference only Mr..
Lamb appeared.
He discussed the facilities OF the COM
pany and said that his company was CIV
ing the people all the service its capital
and resources would admit OF. lie said the
company could not, owing to its peculiar
organization, raise the money required for
great Improvements and that he thought
investigation would show that the plant
had ample carrying capacity, and that the
only thing lacking was gas. When Mr..
have sufficient gas Mayor Taggart replied
that the company ought 10 go and get II
or else not charge for it." Mira Lamb said
that his company was expendlnS $lsO,OO0
on mains and new pumping station and
could not be compelled 10 make connec-
tions for new houses when II could but
barely supply those already connected. He
said the company would have no objections
to the Board of Works examining its books.
Ii is the belief of the administration that
the gas companies will resist any attempt
on the part of the city TO force them 10 re-
fund any portion OF the charges for failure
10 keep up the contract pressure or four
ounces TO each cubic inch at the point OF
consumption, and litigation is expected. Or
the other hand. IL is said that the laws
against boring mixers will be enforced in
order that the gas companies may have nc
ground for protest.

WOMAN ROBBED OF S4,075
SHE WAS RECENTLY MARRIED TO
JAMES MUNROE IN THIS CITY.
They Started to New York, and Mrs.
Munroe Lost All Her M0ney-Munroe
Was q Sharper-IllinOis Widow.

A story comes from New York State to
the effect that Mrs. Mary Jane Colthar
is penniless in the city of Rochester as the
result of her marriage in Indianapolis a
short time ago to James Monroe. Mrs.
Colthar is forty-five years old and former
ly lived at Bunker Hill, Ill. Her husband
died there two years ago, leaving her a
farm and $30cO. Monroe, who it is claimed
robbed her of $4.075. is said to be New
York confidence man.
According to Mrs. Colthar's story. which
has been verified by the Rochester police.
she began a correspondence about a month
ago with James Monroe. She became &C
quainted with Monroe through matri-
monial agency.
A short time later, by appointment, she
met Monroe in Indianapolis and the same
afternoon they were married. The follow
ing day they started, together with Mrs.
Colthars eleven-year-old daughter, for New
York to witness the Dewey celebration.
Before going. however, Mrs. Colthar placed
a 50, 900 mortgage her farm and drew
$500 from the bank The trio arrived In
Rochester few days ago and Monroe pro-
pTevailed on his wife to loan him s4,075 and
then started for New York, ostensibly to
purchase stock for the store. Monroe has
not been seen since. 80
On Wednesday of this week Mrs. Colthal
received a letter from him in New York
saying he had been robbed and advising heI
to return to Bunker Hill. Mrs. Colthar
realizing that she had been deceived, I'M
mediately laid the case before the Roch es.
TO catch Monroe. Mrs. Colthar has found
employment as a nurse i'm Rochester.

VERDICT OF ACQUITTAL
is RENDERED BY THE JURY IN THE
@. A. wALLINGFORD CASE.
Defendant Shakes Hands with the
Jurors After the Verdict Is An
nounced-Jury Out Three Hours.

c. A. Wallingford. charged with assault
on little Lola Starry, was acquitted by a
jury in the Criminal Court last night. The
came TO the Criminal Court on an appeal
from the City Police Court. In that court
Wallingford was fined 500 and sentenced
to $50 days in the workhouse. By appealing
the case he escaped the workhouse sentence.
Wallngford, who is prominent architect
of the city, built an apartment house on
Michigan street last summer and while the
building was being finished, about the mid
die of June. he was arrested at the instance
of Lola Starry's mother. The child lived
across the street from the Wallingford
house and frequently went to the new build
ing with other children to play. She is a
pretty child OF about ten years.
Wallingford was on the witness stand yes
terday and several character witnesses were
examined.
and the verdict was ready by o'clock.
Wallingford was in court when the verdict
was read, but his wife and his sister, who
sat with him during the trial of the case.
were not present last night, After the ver-
hands with the jurors.
The jury on the first ballot stood six for
acquittal and six for conviction. The vote
remained that way until the fifth or sixth
Joined the six that stood out for acquittal.
The six for acquittal were finally able to
convert all the obstinate ones. About
fifteen ballots were taken in all.
1T was a most righteous verdict" said
John 5. Duncan, one of Wallingford's coun-
sci. as he left the courthouse last night.

AN EXTENSIVE SWINDLE
1T HAS BEEN UNEARTHED BY THE
LOCAL REVENUE OFFICERS.
They Expect to Locate 10000 Cigars
Scheme to Use Stamped Boxes.

The revenue officials believe that in the
arrest of Bennett Jacobs and Henry Lamp
ing they have unearthed a more extensive
swindle than they at first suspected.
They still cling to the belief that Lamp
ing was the head Of the gang and that
Jacobs was led into it and his money used
to further the scheme. 1t is possible that
Jacobs, who is now on bond, may be rear
rested on another charge, but on this point
the officials have not made up their mind.
A trunk full of boxes of cigars has been
found at Franklin in a livery stable form
erly owned by Jacobs, and the stamps on
the boxes have not been properly dated
and stamped. About 1000 cigars were found
in this trunk The officers of the Terre
Haute district have found about 1900 of
the cigars in Terre Haute. and revenue
officers are now securing the districts be-
tween here and Terre Haute and the coal
regions where Lamping has been peddling
cigars.
1t is believed that about 60.OO0 cigars will
be found before the hunt is ended. A search
will be made near Fairfield and Jefferson,
H., as there are grounds for believing that
some of the cigars were sent there. More
cigars have been found here which were
taken from the Irvington factory, and
about 1900 were found in one of the feed
stores. These were left there by Jacobs.
The plan of swindle which the officers
believe it intended to work was to
sell the cigars in the boxes with the proper
stamps undated and then to buy up the
empty boxes and refill them. 1t would have
been impossible for the revenue office to
have determined when the stamps were sold
or If the boxe> lad been reflled. The cigars
found in Terre Haute were taken across
the country in a wagon, there was no
trace left in this city as to the point to
which they were shipped.

coming. were at the station to meet him
and only few minutes were spent In talk.
The kid" says he has not done any
training for the fight, as he has engaged
in so many fights recently that he is al
ways in good condition, and, moreover, it is
not his intent to train down in weight, but
rather to take on whatever flesh he can
carry without impairing his work
An effort has been made by some of his
closest friends to prevail On him to take
Gus Rubin under his wing and impart TO
him some Of the science the Akron man
lacks The proposition is for Mccoy TO
devote all his attention to the middle
weights and train Rubin for the heavy
weights, both fighters to work under the
management Of McCoy's brother Homer.
Mccoy still believes, however, that he Is
strong enough for the heavy weights, pro-
viding he is able to take on enough flesh,
and up TO this time has refused to take up
what he considers may prove to be future
rival for heavyweight honors. His ply
sicians feel. however. that he has neither

thought, speedily become champion.

agreement was for -four-foot ring
which would have given me room for foot
movements. We also agreed to fight on a
hard canvas floor; but instead I found a
and a. twerty-foot ring. The floor was SO
soft that I wore myself out trying to get
some spring into my foot movements. while
Sharkey with his superior strength. only

that had not the strength to do such fast

MODEL FACTORY DESCRIBED.
A Talk to Manufacturers by E. l.. Shu-
ey, of Cash Register Company.


For the benefit of the manufacturers at
tending the convention Of the Carriage
Builders National Association. Z. l.. Shuey,
of the National Cash Register Company,
Dayton O., delivered lecture last night
at Masonic Hall on 1.-The Modern Factory
Of the World" by invitation of the Indian
apolis Manufacturers Club. The lecture
was literally illustrated by stereopticon.
The National Cash Register Company's
plant has been greatly written and talked
about recently. Manufacturers from all
over this country and Europe have visited
it, and economists and sociologists approve
it as step in what they think is the right
direction. Not long ago the Indianapolis
Manufacturers Club visited the plant
AS Mr. Shuey explained it, the system in
operation at the plant was begun because
the owners were losing a great deal of
money. They determined 10 find out why
they were losing money. and they discov-
cred tnat lack OF knowledge or the business
among the employees and lack OF sympathy
were the primary causes. The next step
was TO remedy these defects. and the present
system ana t prosperity are the results. 1T
don't hear so much about the number of
hands employed in factory as we used
70. The hands are men and women now.
The manhood and womanhood of the en-
ployes is becoming recognized"
Mr.. Shuey said the system at his plant
was not one OF philanthropy. but of pure
business. The owners had discovered that
they could make money quicker and in
greater amount by treating their employees
well and interesting them in their work
than they could by the old means. BY the
stereopticon he showed photographs which
explained just what the system Is. The fac
tory Is under the supervision of board
composed of men from the different depart
ments. The board meets every other day
and maps out the work. All the employees
are invited to make suggestions for improve
ment Of the plant and the product and
prizes are offered for the best suggestions.
The employees, and there are two thousand
of them. have beer urged to form social and
literary clubs, libraries have been estab-
lished in the factory, lectures on mechanics
are given and classes have been organized
for the study OF mechanical and mathemat-
zeal problems connected with the manufac-
ture OF cash registers The women and girls
go to work hour later than the men and
quit ten minutes earlier. They have rest
rooms and libraries of their own. The own
ers OF the factory furnish hot coffee In the
factory's dining room at noon, and there l.
