Tortoise Shell.

What is known as tortoise SHELF
consists of the thin outer scales which
overlie the shell of species Of sea
turtle. The Smelling process consists
in spreading dried leaves or grass even
" over the back and then setting them
on fire. The heat causes the shell to
separate at the joints, but does not in
lure it. A large blade is then inserted
horizontally between the lamin@,
which are gently pried from the back.
Many turtles do not survive the proc
ess but most of them live and get a
new covering. just as a man will grow

JAMES CARNEY'S CRIME
HE ATTEMPTED TO KILL HIS WIFE,
BUT ONLY WOUNDED HER.
A Quarrel over the Disposition of n
Sons Wages Had a Fatal
Termination.

James Carney, of 2S1 Cooper street.
Brightwood, was arrested last evening by
Patrolmen Mackessy and Miller and
charged with shooting at his wife with
intent to kill. Carney, according TO his own
admissions to the police, said to his wife,
during a quarrel: i've had enough of
this. I'm going to end it." Whereupon he
went to the bureau drawer and got a
twenty-two-calibre revolver with an eight
inch barrel. He fired one shot at her, but
the bullet went into the ceiling. Mrs. Car
ney ran into the yard. followed by her hus-
band, who fired one more shot. This m
the bullet took effect in the muscles of her
right arm. She ran to a neighbours house
and a physician and the police were sent
for. Miller and Mackessy passed the house
just then and arrested Carney.
Mrs. Carney, her husband and their son
Joseph, sixteen years Of age, told practi-
cally the same story of the affair. Carney
went home last evening from work in bad
temper. His SON works at Kingan's and
earns IS a week. He gave his father s1.10
to pay on the grocery bill and offered the
rest of his weeks wages to his mother.
Carney objected, saying the boy should give
all of his wages to him. The mother dis
puted and the quarrel began in earnest.
Mrs. Carney thought the boy should pay
only the cost of his board and be allowed
to have the rest for his clothes and to
spend as he saw fit, and she stuck to her
position. The finally got so
warm that Carney concluded he would
end IL and also future troubles OF the sort.
Neighbors told the officers of frequent and
violent q~uarrels between Carney and his
wife. Her injury, unless blood poisoning
should set in, was not thought to be Ian
gerous, although her arm was badly
swelled q half hour after the shooting.

before the miners and operators in their
joint conferences, will be subordinate this
year TO other matters. During the last
year the United Mine Workers nave been
making strenuous efforts to organize West
Virginia, which is now said to be one of
the competitive States in the coal field.
The miners have been spurred On by the
operators in this movement by threats of
withdrawal from the interstate agreement
unless West Virginia was organized and
the scale OF wages and other conditions
made equal in order that the harmful COM
petition might be eliminated. The miners
have succeeded in organizing between fifty

of that State are invited to attend the
Joint conference and settle a scale. If
they ignore the invitation and refuse to

State, it is said a strike is sure to follow.

a reduction of 10 cents on the ton will be

Auditor OF State William H. Hart arrived
home yesterday from Washington and New

General Taylor. Their mission in Wash
ington was to induce. II possible, the Court
OF Claims. 10 advance Indiana's civil war
claim. amounting to s14.O0o. Mr.. Hart. IN
speaking Of the matter, said: There is
now no doubt in my mind about Indiana
getting her share of the civil war claim
with interest, which will amount to $7I4.OoO.
AL the members Of the Indiana delegation,
Including both senator's. aided Us greatly
In our work the past week. Representative
Hemenway has prepared a bill which will
provide for the payment OF all the civil
war claims. h bill, I think, will pass
the coming week. In this bill the thing
that has heretofore been a great obstacle
has been stricken out. This is the fact that
the United States government does not pay
interest on any OF fits debts. Mr.. Hemen-
ways bill repeals this clause, and the
member % the House Will give their aid
In passing thv bill. We called on the mem
bers Of the Court Of Claims and also the
second auditor Of the treasury and ex-
debt. They told Us hat they recognized
Indiana's claim. but as the statutes did
not make provision for paying the interest,

M Hart feels optimistic over his mis-
sion 10 Washington and thinks that In
diana's claim Will he allowed IN a short
time. Concerning the claim Of the State
against the government growing out Of the
Spanish-American war he said that OF the
remaining &0,oe due Indiana would receive
st least one-half the amount. 1t is not
likely that the remainder will be paid. he
said.
Last Tuesday night Governor Durbin.

by Senator Fairbanks. At the close OF the
Tepast the visitors and Senator Fairbanks

Roosevelt Governor Durbin rendered to
the President an invitation TO attend the
dediCatory exercises Of the soldiers and

not make a definite answer, as ne said prior
engagements would hardly allow him to
come 10 indianapolis at that time. The
President said he intended going TO Gettys-
burg on Decoration day and would also go
70 the Charleston exposition. Mr.. Hart said
the President praised the soldiers and sail

finest, If not the finest, monument in the
world.
Governor Durbin returned with Auditor

TRADES UNION RECOGNIZED.
A Decision of the Board of Arbitration
of Illinois.

The State Board of Arbitration OF ILL
nois has set a precedent by handing down
a decision in the strike of the pillow work
ers employed by the Sattley pillow works
at Springfield, recommending the recogni-
ton Of the union and holding that laboring
men have a right to organize. The board
held that the pillow workers had the same
light to organize as did the Pow manu-
facturers composing the Northwestern
Plow Manufacturers Association, OF which
the Sattley company is a member. The
strike was for recognition of the union and
the decision is said TO be the first OF any
board of arbitration to give official recog-
milton to trades unions.
The opinion reads:
while the rights prescribed by law are
superior TO all others, and must forever
remaln so In a free government, yet there
are certain obligations between employer
and employee. and from both to the general
public, quite distinct from those defined by
constitution and statute, and so generally
recognized that the law itself has taken
cOgnizance of them. 1t is for the adjudi-
cation of controversies arising from those
obligations that such tribunals as the State
Board of Arbitration have been erected"
Referring TO the organization of trades
unions il says:
Yet it is impossible to ignore and futile
10 try TO check the tendency of the age in
the commercial and industrial relations of
men. 1t Is distinctively an age Of co-opera-
UOn, OF the achievement or results by con-
oerted and harmonious action for the com
mon good of ALL"
Comparing the organizations OF laboring
men with those Of capitalists, il continues:
$50. likewise. the tendency toward CO.
operation-tO organize for the common
good and 10 a common end-has extended
to the industrial masses to such an extent
that the labor union is now found I'm almost
all trades and occupations. While some
labor unions are badly managed. il is con-
tended that If j~udiciously conducted the
union - a nHC~nrfar1 uann 60 -l-I "
The opinion concludes:
I'VE make no criticism OF the Sattley
Manufacturing Company for its member
snip in the PlOw Manufacturers Associa-
ton. The object of the association. how
ever, il may be stated, is to secure for its
members some common advantage. We
can conceive no improperly in cOnceding a
similar privilege 10 the men employed by
the Sattley Manufacturing COmpany-the
privilege of uniting themselves into one or
sanization for their common benefit and
protection

GOOD N OF MELL.
1t Gave Policemen a CIew That Proved
of Great Value.

The arrest yesterday morning Of Edward
Hale, Of ass West Washington street, on
the charge of burglary and petit larceny,
and his father-in-law Marion Floyd, on the
charge of lettering, was due to the abnor-
NAL sense Of smell of Bicycle Policemen
Griffin and Manning. They had been sent
to Patrick Martins butcher shop at 457
West Washington street. where 1T was re-
ported the shop had been entered by burg
lars, who had stolen sl1.75 worth of meat.
The officers looked about the place and
found entrance had been made through a
rear window from which a pane Of glass
had been broken. While figuring out clews
both OF the officers smelled freshly cooked
meat. AS meat had been stolen they fol-
lowed the smell and found their way into
the house occupied by Hale and Floyd.
The men denied the charge made against
them, but their answers were so unsatis-
factory that it was decided to send EN- in
anyhow" The house was searched and no
evidence OF the missing meat was found.
After the men had been sent to headquar-
ters a second search was made and all of
the stolen meat, except that being cooked,
was found just outside the house and con-
cealed by a door. Mrs. Hale and her chill
dren, in talking OF the matter, gave the Of
fcers enough information to convince
them that the men were guilty and, after
returning to the police station, a confess
sion was secured from Hale. During the
search of the room a half-gallon can of
syrup and two pals of jelly, which had
been stolen from the store of the Atlantic
Tea Company, were also found. Floyd re-
fused TO talk of the case with the officers
and they were unable to ascertain from
Hale whether or not his father-in-law had
assisted him. Hale had carried Martins
cash register into the rear room of the
shop and rifled 1t of the contents, the exact
amount of which was not known. The
register clock showed 1T had been tam
pered with at u:25 o'clock.
