RESULT OF CONFERENCE
BIG BUILDING TRADES CONVENTION
IN THIS CITY ON OCT. s.
At that Time n National Organization
VIII He Perfected-Ten National
Officers at the Meeting.

AS a result of the conferences of repre-
sentatives of all the national associations
connected with the building trades, held
in the executive room of the United
Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners
yesterday, a large convention will be held
in this city Oct. 8, at which central
organization representing every building
trade will be formally perfected. At the
conference yesterday there were national
officers from each of the different organiza-
tions of the building trades and they
represented, in all, over half a million wage
workers
The object of the conference was to make
plans for bringing together in closer re-
lation all these different organizations and
making them more a body in themselves
The question in all its phases was thor
oughly discussed and the final action i'm ar
ranging a convention reflects the attitude
of the different representatives in perfect
ing a central body.
The important objects which were more
less Instrumental in the action that the
organizations have in view in forming a
closer alliance with one another are to
prevent strikes in the different branches of
the trade; to keep agreements when they
are once made and TO see that the en-
ployers keep them with the men; TO ar
bitrate differences that may arise between
the employers and the employees; to pre-
vent the formation on the part of en-
ployers of dual organiza tons whose object
is to crush labor organizations; and to form
a body that is more capable of adjusting
the grievances and handling the questions
that come up in the building trades.
Heretofore most of the questions of the
trade have been taken before the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, where they have
been acted upon by body not closely &C
quainted with the full purport and there
fore not able TO do the question justice from
the point of view of the building tradesmen.
However, the action of the representatives
yesterday does not in any way reflect upon
the American Federation of Labor, nor
have the building trade crafts ever had
any misunderstanding with that organiza-
ton. AS before they will remain related to
the American Federation of Labor and will
be represented therein. However they will
have a central body where their questions
and grievances can be handled with the
best understanding and in the most
capable manner. Ten national officers were
present at the meeting yesterday. G.. p.
Gubbins, of the Brick Masons' Union. was
elected chairman of the conference and NJ.
p. Carrick, of Lafayette, secretary of the
Painters and Decorators, was elected

HUMAN BRAIN CENTERS.
Lecture by DIR. w. o. KrOhn Before
the County Institute.

DR.. William o. Krohn. of the Medical
Department of Chicago University, deliv
cred a lecture on THE Building of the
Brain through Education before the
Marion County Institute last night in the
Criminal courtroom. The session was well
attended and proved one of the most inter-
esting meetings of the institute. Dr. Krohn
traced the development of the different
brain centers, showing their growth by
education from childhood to the adult age.
His lecture was supplemented by charts
and drawings of the human brain and those
of other animals.
According to DR.. Krohn teacher makes
a great mistake in trying to teach a left
handed child to be righthanded. The right
side of the brain in lefthanded person is
so constructed that if the change
is attempted the result is the weak
ening of the brain centers. He
advocated a broad education in order
that all the brain centers would be
ton is limited" said he, eff he is not read
TO and induced TO write and express him
self clearly some of his brain centers will
not be developed. School work should be
general and complete that all centers will
be developed. At birth we possess all the
brain centers we ever get and II these are
atrophied and these cells must be developed
in childhood for development is impossible
in adult life"
Continuing DIR. Krohn said that there
were certain periods of rapid growth. "A
girl is at her best when a boy is at his
worst At fourteen the average boy is pass
ing through the brain ebb while the girl
is passing through her best brain develop
ment At this time the boy has power
TO grasp details while the girl has sort of
detail mania. The reason a boy drops out
of school in about the first year of the high
school is because they are nagged to death
by details. At this time he is growing fast
and if held TO the exactness of details
while he may be able to give reasons for
things, he would rather go to work than
be distanced by a girl. He needs sympathy
of the broadcast kind at this time and il is
the fault of the teacher parent if he
drops out of school. If carefully coached
over this period he will be all right and
make up for any deficiency. In order to
enrich the child life the system of educa-
tion must be broad and deep so that every
part of the brain will be appealed to and
developed. Indiana is an imperial State.
but may her greatest dadem in statehood
be her public school system.
DR.. Krohns morning subject was AT
tention-How TO Get and Keep IT. and in
the afternoon he spoke on Memory and
Its Development" "Co-operation Between
Home and School, was J. w. Carr's morn
ing subject. In the afternoon he talked
on Religious and Moral Education" Two
talks were made by Robert Hall, of the
Manual Training High School. on "Imi-
tation" and Interpretation"

lums of the city The outing was in Fair
view Park and lasted from o'clock yester-
day morning until O'Clock yesterday after

the children to the park. The first car was
loaded with children from the Colored Or

Moran. William Holtz and Thomas Hedian
The start was made from the Union Sta
ton. Long before the time for the three
special to arrive a crowd of anxious
children Bad made Jackson square alive
with joyous shouts. AS a surprise for the
youngsters the committe had planned for
the band to go to the barns and board
the first car and then ride to the Union
Station and play several airs. When the
band rounded the corner of Louisiana and
Illinois streets the children were alive to
the situation and il did not need a word
from the committee TO tell them to board
the cars. The colored waits ran to the first
car, while the white children took the last
two cars.
Dark clouds hung i'm the heavens during
the morning and this gave the committee a
depressed feeling showers were immi-
nent. The happy children were not think
ing of such a mishap. and they boarded
the cars only thinking of what
pleasure in store for them
They rode to the park and were lined up
and marched over hill and dale and shown
many sights they had never seen. 1t was
an interesting sight to see some of the lit
tie boys and girls look curiously at the
ances with longing eyes thinking they
would never get TO use them. The street
car company and the committee from the
Elks had arranged for this and after the
little ones roamed about the grounds they
were invited to ride on the merry go-rOund
Nearly every one in the big crowd wanted
TO take the first ride. but the capacity of
were obliged to wait until their companions
had made the circuit. When all had beer
satisfied ii nearing noon and call
from Harry Moran brought the little ones
to high place one of the hills, where
a large dinner was given them. The men,
bers of the committee sat around on the
grass and ate with the children, some of
the members telling stories that caused
the boys and girls to roar with laughter
After dinner the little folks were taken
to the race track and each was given ride
on the obstinate donkeys After this sport
clouds began TO appear and the rain which
was threatened in the morning began TO
fall. Little drops of water began falling
and the orphans ran to the restaurant to
continued until $50 o'clock, when the spe-
cial cars were headed for the city. The
band remained with the children all day
and gave them much pleasure.

face to awaken him so he could go home.

HOPES TOSOLVE MYSTERY
CORONER TUTEWILER IS STILL AT
WORK ON STRATTON CASE.
ManteII's Barrel House Closed During
Illegal Hours and Patrolmen
Given Rigid Instructions.

The case of Lydia Stratton, the white
woman who was recently found in a dy-
ing condition in a colored restaurant
in the basement of Mantelrs bar
rel house, at Indiana and Capitol
avenues. is still mystifying the coroner and
the detectives, and apparently they are no
nearer the solution of the case than they
were on the first day they took it up. The
coroner and detectives believe the woman
was assaulted by number of negroes, but
examination by the doctors does not sup
port the theory of the coroner and the de-
tectives, ii is said.
Coroner Tutewiler said last night that he
is determined TO sift the circumstances
leading to the death of the woman and her
presence in the restaurant to the bottom,
and hopes to find evidence that will sub
stantiate his convictions.
MantelPS barrel house was closed within
the hours prescribed by the Nicholson law
last night, and the restaurant keeper sold
no beer, his custom before the pres
ent trouble came up. Superintendent Taffe
said last night that he is determined to see
that Mantell as well as other saloon keep
ers, keep the law, and patrolmen have been
instructed to watch every resort where
liquor is sold for violations.
