Gov. Mount Decides to stand Back of
Mccormack, the Labor Omcial.
The protest recently made by the
Central Labor union, of South Bend,
against Labor Commissioner McCor-
mack was taken up by Gov. Mount.
and after considering it fully, the gov
ernor decided to sustain the commits
sioner Commenting on the affair the
Indianapolis Independent facetiously
says:
"The Central Labor union, of South
Bend, is after Lycurgus p. Mccormack,
labor commissioner, with sharp stick.
They bring against him the very grave
accusation of blowing hot and cold.
We do not know whether the law
creating the Office of labor commits
sioner specifies whether that dig.
nitary shall blow hot or whether he
shall blow cold, but very evidently it
does not permit of blowing both hot
and cold. Get Lycurgus worked up
and he is pretty warm stuff, as the say
ing goes. At such time it would be
difficult thing for him to blow cold
When matters are running at an even
tenor with him he is as cool as Gu.
cumber, and hot blsst would be quite
out of the question. So take it all
around, we are inclined to the opinion
that the South Bend organization is of
it's base; that its trolly jumped at the
wrong pole. Meantime, when the leg
islature convenes next winter, it should
define clearly the character of the blasts
labor commissioner is expected tC
emit, and whether he is to blow hot
or cold at the same time. If not, which
is to have precedence or whether they
are to be used alternately. Mr.. Nc
Cormack denies the allegation and de
fies the alligator"

Awaiting the Sentence.

Two young men, who were reared on
farms in the north part of Fulton coun-
ty, are now awaiting the pleasure of
Judge CsprOn to be sentenced to the
Indiana reforDatOry; one is a confessed
feloD, and the other under conviction as
an accOmplice, after a trial by jury
lasting nearly week. Last August,
Sarah Terrence, an elderly widow, living
alone in the southwest part of this
county, was robbed of $15 at midnight,
by q man who induced her to open the
door by representing himself as her
law, Fred Brown. She thought
that she recognized the intruder as q
young farm hand in the neighborhood,
who was arrested and gave bond. A
few days later q promissory note was
found in the bed room, where the old
woman had struggled with her asssil-
ant The note was signed by Lawrence
Jones, made payable to the Royal Cen
ter bank, and it was Cancelled on the
day of the robbery.
This directed attention to Jones, q
nineteen-year-old boy, living in the
neighborhood, and when he was con
fronted with this bit of circumstantial
evidence, he confessed to the robbery
and said that he was assisted by Brown
the son.in-law. who desired in this way
to frighten Mrs. Terrence, SO that she
would permit Brown and bis wife tl
live in the same house with her.
Last December, Brown was indicted
by the grand jury, and his trial in the
circuit court has just ended, with find
ing of guilty. The evidence showed
that both Brown and Jones had spot
less regulations until their arrest. The
former was q devOut church member
and for more than two years Jones wal
a mem Der of his Sundsy-school class
The robbery was committed while ht
was on his way home from prayer
meeting, where he had taken part both
in the prayer and testimony services.
