BACK FROM DETROIT
Indiana Stands High in Charitable and
Correctional Work.

INDIANAPOLIS, June 6-Amos
w. Butler, secretary of the board
OF state charities, has returned
from Detroit, where, with a num-
Der of others from this city and
the state who are interested in
charity work, he attended a
meeting of the National Confer
ence of Charities and Correction.
Before going to Detroit he at
tended the National Conference
of superintendent of Feeble
minded Institutes, held in the
state institution at Fort Wayne.
From both of these Mr.. Butler
returns with added pride in the
progress made by Indiana in or
gained charities and the care of
state institutions. At the Fort
Wayne meeting superlntendants
from almost every school for the
feeble minded in the United
States were present, and without
exception these officials agreed
that Indiana stands in the fore
front for the care of the unfortu-
nate and afflicted of that nature.
One superintendent, abiding to
the work of the state officials,
said: 'Indiana does what other
states say they will do
In comparing notes at Detroit
members of state charity boards
learned that Indiana's plan of
furnishing outdoor poor relief
and of caring for children by
placing them in good homes is
not excelled by pans of any 9TH

possible exception OF MaSSachu-

SENIORS ON A STRIKE
OePauw Upper Classmen in Open Re.
bellion.

GREENCASTLE, Ind, June G.
The lordly senior has barred his
good right hand and hurled his
gauntlet in the teeth of the facul-
ty of DePauw university. He
cannot meet his foe in the tilt
yard or in the lists, because the
march of civilization has put tilt
yards and lists out of business,
so he has done the next best and
more modern thing and gone on
strike. He, and in this case he
includes the entire senior class,
positively refuses to have any
thing to do with the plans for
the coming class day exercises,
and as result that ancient and
honorable function promises to
look like twice Is cents.
And it all came about like this:
The faculty, miserably failing to
appreciate the Importance of this
years senior class, ard exhibit
ing the most deplorable lack of
consideration for the work and
worth Of the young men who are
it, has ordered that all seniors
shall submit to the humiliation of
final examinations. This bar
barity, which must rank for cru
city with the water cure and the
wheel, has aroused the spirit
which already beat high in the
senior breast. and the class has
announced fatty and finally that,
so far as it is concerned, the
class day exercises may be Cor
nelius- Vanderbilted.
No suicides among the lower
classmen have been reported, SO
far, and it is possible that the
university will be able to reopen
next fall

rency. 1t is only fair to a dealer
in Minnesota or California or

should know that the company's

that its capital was what it was

with that simple law the
temptation to make companies
for the purpose of selling pros
pective profits would be at an end
and, at the same time, no legiti-
mate business would suffer, nor
would any number of individuals
desiring to engage in business
through a corporation, suffer any
hardship because their actual
capital was as they advertised it
to be. We have been as a nation
too ready to look to state and
federal legislation for remedies
which are beyond their power to

EXCITING DAY AT CHICAGO
Enraged Police Charge Unfortunately,
and Men, Women and Chi.
dren Were Hurt.

CHICAGO, June 5. - Conflict
fiercer than any that had previ-
ously marked the struggle be-
tween the striking teamsters and
the packers ragged in Chicago
yesterday.
The streets in the downtown
district were literally trans
formed into battlefield between
the police and the mobs that
gathered to block the progress
of the stock-yards wagons.
More than fifty shots were
fired, and nearly 300 persons in
jured more or less severely.
Women and children caught in
the jam were dubbed and beaten
by the police, and charges of
brutality were heard on all sides.
Of all the arrests made not one
was of a striker, and the injured
were in most cases spectators
caught in the melee and unable
to extricate themselves. In sew
eral instances drivers were
pulled from their wagons and
dubbed by the police because
they would not drive on when
the crush made such a thing a
physical impossibility.
The bricks, bottles and other
missiles that were thrown made
the police lose their heads, and
they swung their clubs right and
left on every one within reach.
The men under command of
Inspector Nicholas Hunt fired
between them forty and fifty
shots in a charge upon mob at
the viaduct in Michigan avenue
and Sixteenth street.
1t is considered miraculous
that no one was hit in the volley
of bullets, but the viaduct was a
protection. Inspector Hunt him
self opened the fire in repulsing
an attack made on the drivers O.
the meat wagons from the via
duct. A dozen or more men were
hiding behind the buildings on
either side.
Just as the head of the process
sion passed under the railroad
tracks a shower of Stag, stones
and brickbats came down from
the viaduct. Inspector was hit
in the back of the neck. He
pulled his revolver and fired in
the direction of the attacking
party on the east side of the via
duct. Captain Shippy then
pulled hif revolver, and after
three shots were fired a dozen
policemen, riding in the lead in
two patrol wagons, joined IN the
battle. besides several drivers in
the meat wagons.
While no one was injured at
this point, it was the most excit-
ing charge of the day. The
sight of the policemen's revolv.
ers and the reports of the shots
seemed to paralyze the mob.
They stood as one man, not
knowing where stray bullet
night lodge.
The rioting in Fifth avenue
and on Adams street and other
crowded sections of the city was
scarcely less exciting, and sew.
eral persons were badly hurt,
several of whom will die. 1t is
hoped that an agreement will be
reached today which will restore
peace and order in the city.
