Settled by Arbitration.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
EVANSVILLE, Ind, Oct. 6-Through
arbitration the strike at the Evansville
glass beveling works has been brought
to an end. Nearly 100 workmen have been
out for the past six months and during
that time much bitterness sprang up be-
tween the company and its workmen. The
matter was finally taken up by committees
of the Business Association and the Manu-
facturers' Association, and these, after
much labor, succeeded in getting the con-
tending parties to submit to arbitration,
but the strikers have gained nearly all they
demanded. The trouble arose over a re-
quest for an increase in wages.

FOR FAST SPEEDING.
American Generals Are Summoned by
the English Police.

LONDON, Oct. 6.-General Corbin, Gen.
Young and John w. Gates have had an un-
pleasant experience with the English mo-
toring laws Both on Saturday and Sunday
they were driving a car which was stopped
by the police, who summoned the Ameri-
cans for exceeding twelve miles an hour
The car in each instance was fast new
vehicle, just purchased by Sir Thomas Lip
ton, who lent it to Mr.. Gates to show the
generals around the country.
On Saturday they were driving through
Windsor when the policemen arrested the
chaffeur and took the names and addresses
of Mr.. Gates and General Young, who were
the occupants of the car, and on Sunday
the same party, with General Corbin, was
nearing Brighton, when a policeman
stopped the car.
When the summonses are called up no
defense will be made, for, as one of the
Americans said: THE police have got you
at their mercy. You may be morally sure
that you were not driving at over the speed
limit, but that Is ineffective against the
police, with their stop watches"
