CHATHAM WAS UNL0VED
DISAPPOINTED SUITOR THREAT.
ENED TO KILL HIMSELF.
He Changed His Mind at the Eleventh
Hour and Forgot His Ill
Starred Love.

A tragic end to a romance was expected
by the bicycle police and the City Dispen-
sary physicians when they answered the
urgent call of Mrs. lawson. of 1923 West
Market street, at Z o'clock last night. The
telephone message to the police station re-
ceived by Sergeant Crane said that Lewis
Chatham. 217 Douglass street, had attempt
ed to kill himself by stabbing.
The story, as told the sergeant at the
police station, was of Chatham's love for
Miss Ora White, who lives on ~Twenty-sixth
street, in North Indianapolis, his quarrel
with her yesterday afternoon and his de-
parture from her forever In the evening,
with the avowed intention of Kidding the
world of his presence.
These threats caused the police to be
called, and when they arrived at the place
they found Chatham lying OIL the ground
in a semi-conscious condition and dead
runk. The police sergeant rendered a re-
port which ended tersely, but explanatory
the doctor gave him an emetic and he
got rid of all his chances of dying"

first and only child of Mrs. Anna Newman.
The great granddaughter of Mrs. Newman,
little Thelma, is the first born of Mrs.
Petty. These representatives of four gen.
all of them, with the possible exception of
the baby, are greatly interested In the little
mite which, from it's couch, commands the
respect and attention of the household.
Among the presents received at the birth
of the child was a finger ring which is
three-sixteenths Of an inch in diameter and
was worn by the baby on its second finger.
The baby has outgrown this ring, how
ever, and now wears one of the circum-
ference of a pipe stem, which is forced to
stay in place by a little blu ribbon.

ductors. gave a banquet and public install
lation of officers last night at their hall on

Following the installation Attorney Gen.
eral w. l.. Taylor delivered an address, in
which he pointed out the advantages en-
joyed by members OF unions to-day as COM
pared with ten or twenty years ago. or
with the conditions now existing in Europe.
He said that such organizations as the Or
der of Railway Conductors were founded
on right principles and that they should be
encouraged by everybody. Thanks to the
unions, he said, the opportunities for adj
vancement had greatly increased, and now
the brakeman of to-day is the superintend-
ent of tomorrow, the rodman of to-day
man at the lathe in the shops the master
mechanic of tomorrow.
Mr.. Taylor was followed by Joseph Col
lier and the Rev. Francis III. Gavisk in brief

A BABY OF SMALL SIZE
MISS THELMA PETTY, TEN WEEKS
OLD, WEIGHS -FOUR POUNDS.
Four Generations Of thu Family, the
First Born i'm Each Instance,
Dwell in Same House.

Miss Thelma Petty is undoubtedly the
smallest and one of the youngest of the
young ladies of Indianapolis. Miss Thelma
IS ten weeks old. born Sept. 5. She is now
fourteen inches tall and weighs a little
more than four pounds. Wrapped in
wooden cloths and bound with gauze and
attended by a willing corps of motherly
nurses she receives many visitors at her
home, 1880 Shelby street, and frequently
greets them with a series OF plaintive walls
that are as we'll formed and pronounced as
the yells from larger and more bouncing
babies.
The small baby is one of the most re-
markable ever recorded in the city's birth
returns. Born Sept. 5, she weighed little
more than two pounds, and was of such
diminutive size that her grandmother. to
prove her assertion that ii could be done,
ensconed the baby in a quart bucket and
put the lid on TO show that there was room
to spare. The baby when born was per-
fectly healthy. although not lively, and had
none of the earmarks OF the ordinary baby.
The tender skin was not so we'll formed as
was hoped by it's father and mother. Mr..
and Mrs. James w. Petty. but this lack
was counterbalanced by the infants appar-
ell SlItIktn liz NlSOls III aAhANiN VIZ
attended the mother at the birth OF the
child. pronounced il the most remarkable
of any i'm his professional experiences. The
infant. he said. was smaller than the Mas
incubator baby which
provoked so much comment among the
physicians of the city some time ago.
To get an accurate idea of how small a
two-pound baby Is. this baby could be car
ried In the palm of an ordinary sized mans
hand and handled with as much ease as a
small package of wooden cloth OF the same
weight. When the baby was born ii was
less than eleven inches long, and its breast
and lungs so small that breathing was only
perceptible to the ear. Ii was perfectly
formed. and the only abnormal feature of
the child was its size.
The baby is now attended by Mrs. DR..
| Bryson and is being nourished by infant
foods and other liquids. 1t is nursed by its
mother and requires constant attention.
| Aside from a slight indisposition. IL is well
and growing every day. The attending
physician assures its parents that IL will
live and grow TO ordinary size soon.
The family. recently slightly increased
by the baby. is headed by James w. Petty,
an employe of the Waverley Vehicle Com
pany. and is a remarkable one. The
mother. who is twenty-three years old,
was the first born and only child OF her

ceived a telegram last night from Jersey
City, n. j., informing him of the death of

month ago to a Miss MaGee, of Lorraine.
n. j., and two weeks ago was in the city
on a visit TO the WilcOXens during the bril-
dial tour. The telegram did not state how
young Richey was killed, but the presump
ton is that he was struck by a train in the
Jersey City yards OF the New Jersey Cen
trail Railway, Of which he was the yard
master at Jersey City.
NJ. NJ. Richey lived in indianapolis ter
years ago and was at that time yardmastel
of the l.. +. & w. When he went to Biz
mingham, Ala, he was made superintend-

He Stole Basket of Butter, Which No
One Would Buy.

When Mrs. Sanders opened her grocery
yesterday morning on Indiana avenue she
found a bushel basket full of butter resting
on the bread box in front Of her store. She
knew that she had not ordered any butter
to be delivered Sunday morning, so she
called up the police station. In the mean
time the police department had been noti-
fed by Fox x Steele. grocers at Capitol
avenue and Maryland street. that the store
had been entered some time during the
night and a large quantity of butter taken.
An investigation was begun. and it was
learned that a negro had called at Frank
Hobbies grocery on Indiana avenue, trying
to sell the butter at a low price. Hebble
was suspicious and would not buy. He no.
tined the police station. and while Bicycle
Policemen Losh and Askins were at Mrs.
Sanders's grocery they learned that the
negro had walked west on the avenue. 1t
IL presumed by the police that the negro
stole the butter. and. falling to dispose of
IL, left Ii at Mrs. Sanders's store.

PROF. w. A. BELLS CONDITION.


Prof. w. A. Bell, a ~widely-known Indiana
educator. was operated on by DR.. o. S.
Runnels at the Runnels Sanatorium last
night. Professor Bell has been confined
for several days. and his condition became
so unsatisfactory to DR.. Runnels that the
family consented to the operation. The
operation disclosed an abdominal abscess
known in surgery as empyema of the gall
bladder. Last night DIR. Runnels said his
patient had undergone the operation salts

years-made the ultimate result doubtful.
He said the patient had a fighting nance

The Central Labor Union committee again

members reviewed the rather indefinite
work already done toward planning the
reception. TIL uncertainty of the date of
