M'ABEE WILL MAKE WAR
PROPOSES TO BEGIN A CRUSADE
AGAINST CHILD LABOR.
Humorous Incident Related by the
Factory Inspector-A Glass Fac
tory Scheme.

Factory Inspector McAbee has started a
crusade against the owners Of factories who
employ children. Yesterday he received
word that the Muncie Glass Company had
been fined by the court in that county for
employing boy under fourteen years of
age. Mr. McAbee related a humorous Incl
dent which illustrates the difficulties en-
countered by the deputies in ascertaining
violations of the law with regard to child
labor.
Deputy Richards. while In Anderson the
other day, went into large glass factory
to make a regular inspection. He noticed
that the superintendent took to his heels
as soon as he came in view, and by the
time he was in the Office the superintendent
was out of sight The office employees tried
to delay the deputy by offering him a seat
and trying to engage him In conversation.
He refused to sit down. however. but said
he wanted to see the superintendent in the
factory. and went through the doors into
the glasshouse. AS he went into the room
he caught sight of the superintendent run
ming through a room at considerable dis
lance from him. and he broke into a run
and caught him.
What are you running for?" asked the
deputy.

WILL MAKE NO DEMANDS
MINERS SAY THEY WILL NOT ASK
FOR AN INCREASED SCALE.
They Claim that, Although Present
Conditions Are Tempting, Faith
Will he Kept with Operators.

1t developed at the session of the United
Mine Workers yesterday that there would
be no effort to secure an advance in wages
at present. In spite of the fact that the
general prosperity seemed to warrant 1t.
One of the committee, in discussing the
matter. said the organization had deter
mined to sacrifice temporary benefits to
make 1t apparent to the world that the
organization would keep faith with, every
one. He said the present scale would be
operative until Jan. ! and, although the
organization might force the operators into
better terms. with no loss to it's own men,
bers, II would not be in the spirit Of union
ism and, therefore. nothing would be done
before the end Of the year, unless the
operators themselves made the first move
and volunteered better wages. He said the
organization had already received assur-
ances from the operators that better terms
would be offered by the first Of the year
without any request on the part of the
miners, and the latter propose to show the
operators that they are honorable, even
when their own interests can be furthered
by revoking the present agreement. He

could be obtained by standing together.
instead of fighting each other and, there
fore. the union intended to take no action
looking to a disturbance of the present
scale of wages.

RAZORS AND PISTOLS.
Michigan.Street Citizens Aroused at
an Early Hour.

Thursday morning people living on Mich
igan street between Pennsylvania and Me-
ridian were aroused from their slumbers
by the reports of several pistol shots and
the shouting Of negroes, who seemed to
spring out Of the ground. each with razor
or revolver in his hand. A colored woman
named Goodall, better known as "Ragtime

has been missing for several days, and her
two brothers. William and John, accused
Brutus Owen, also co.ored, of having
spirited her away. Yesterday morning
the brothers met Owens on Michigan street
and tried to persuade him to tell where
the girl was. Owens refused and started
down an alley, pursued by the Goodalls,
who fired four times at him. none of the
shots taking effect, though one bullet
knocked his hat of and he stopped BY This
time twenty-five or thirty negroes had
gathered there. Most Of them mad pistols
and seemed anxious to take a hand In the
fray. one of Owenss friends put a pistol
In mis- hand, telling him TO stand mis- ground

Mr.. STARK'S PICTURES.
His Collection Is on View mt the HI.
Licber Art Gallery.

Mr.. Otto Stark, the artist, has an ex-
hibition of his summer work at the Leber
art studio this week, which is attracting
considerable attention. The pictures are in
oils and water colors. and are artistcally
arranged as to color harmony, rather than
subjects. Some of the most iteresting ones
were painted around the coast Of Maine,
principally at Ogunquit, q quaint old fish
ing town. and some at Gloucester, Mass.
The pictures are taken from the everyday
life of the fishermen on the coast. One.
called outward Bound" shows the fisher
man in his boat, going out to bring in the
nets; another, 1.-The Lone Fisherman" is
one showing an old man fishing on the
docks. He is dressed in the garb Of the fish
erman and the ocean beyond gives color to
the picture. "Jim and joe" a water color.

Mr.. Stark's favorite subjects, however
are children. He shows some quaint and
odd characters in his exhibition, which he
picked up around the coast towns-children
who look just as natural as though they
were looking and talking to you. Several Of
the pictures on exhibition are subjects from
around Indianapolis, scenes with which all
are familiar. One of these is called Early
Spring" a scene on White river: another is

A STRANDED SOUBRETTE
SHE APPLIES To SUPERINTENDENT
aUIGLEY FOR ASSISTANCE.
She Was n Member of the "sIoney to
burn" Company-Police Recover
Jennie Osborn's Trunk for Her.

Money to burn" Is an expression that
would generally mean a superhuous amount
or that thing for which the world is clam
oring, but an instance came under the
notice OF Superintendent Quigley this
week which shows that the expression
was misused in ono case at least. A pretty
young woman was ushered into the private
Office or the superintendent of police. and
when asked to relate her troubles she said
that she had gone on the stage this season
and made an engagement with the Money
10 Burn" company, thinking that there
might be an abundance in a name and she
would not only win fame with that COM
pany but would incidentally fill her purse
with money to burn" But the blow was
hard one. The company was booked for
series Of one-night stands throughout
Ohio. Indiana and Illinois. Things went
fairly well until the gas belt of the Hoosier
State was approached. The young woman.
whose name. by the way, is Jennie Os-
born. was taken I'll in a small town In east
ern Indiana. The company was behind in
salaries, and the thought of seeing her
money go that way put her in bed. The
company went on without her. The glass
blowers in the gas belt cities did not take
kindly TO Money to Burn despite the fact
that the company used giaring paper Illus
trating how the green goods were strewn
over the stage at each performance re-
gardless OF the box office receipts. In Illi-
nois the treasury of the company had moth

OF the company did not have enough coin

CASE OF FRANCIS GREY
PITIFuL CONDITION OF THE FAMILY
OF AN ALLEGED FORGER.
His Wife Poverty-Stricken and Seri-
ousIy Ill at the Deaconess
Hospital.

The case OF Francis A. Grey, of this city,
who was sentenced Wednesday at Dayton.
o., to one year in the penitentiary for
forgery, is attended by sad circumstances.
Grey was formerly in the employ of kingan
e. Co. here, and after leaving them went
to Dayton, expecting TO get work there.
He boarded for several days with a Mrs.
Foreman, and on May 16, when he left Day
ton, he gave her a check for $780, which
was claimed and proved to be forgery.
The signature purported to be that OF
Dayton business man. Grey claimed he had.
an understanding with the woman whereby
the check was TO be held until he should re-
turn or had made arrangements to cover
it. He was arrested here few hours after
his arrival and taken back to Dayton for
trial. Wednesday he pleaded guilty 70 the
charge.
His wife, delicate woman Of rather at
tractive appearance, with her two small
children, visited him at the police station
here and gained the sympathy Of all who
talked with her. She was without food in
the house for herself or children and had
for some days previous received the as
sistance of neighbors. She endeavored to
secure money to send to Dayton to take up
the check, which had been cashed at the
bank by the woman, but was unable to do
so before her husband was taken away.
Since that time she has been supporting
herself and little ones by hair dressing in
families where she was acquainted. She
was not strong. and the strain was so Sc
we're that she was able to make but poor
living. About a week ago she became Ill
and was sent to the Deaconess Hospital for
treatment. Through the efforts of the char.
ity organizations Mrs. Collamore, GA East
Tenth street. was induced to take the chill
dren until such time as Mrs. Grey should
recover and be able TO care for them her
self. Though the woman Is not critically
III, her condition Is said by hospital physi-
clans to be serious, and 1t will probably be
necessary TO perform an operation. She has
band.
Charles c. Grout. secretary of the Char
tty Organization, said the position in which
Grey finds himself is probably due to his
own acts. Inquiries among former neigh
bors showed Grey was addicted to expen-
sive tastes and while employed at Kingan' 8
found 1t necessary or convenient to accept
help from the charitable institutions of the
city. The woman, ii is thought is wholly
worthy and will be helped.
