make a reduction in the wage scale now

made. We intend to resist the reductions
and 5000 men are now idle in the Meyers
dale region. i would not care to discuss

duction in miners wages of Indiana, Ohio
and Illinois. The convention Is but few
weeks off and If a reduction is planned IL

AGAINST MISS MASON
Tuxedo Principal Appears Before
Superintendent Kendall-Pat-
rons Complain.
WAS ACQUITTED ONCE

The charges brought against Miss Mason.
principal of the Tuxedo school, are being
investigated by Superintendent Kendall.
under the direction of the School Board. a
petition containing twenty-five or thirty
signatures was presented to the board, re-
questing that Miss Mason be removed. The
petitioners allege that the principal is I'M
duly severe with the pupils and that she
insults the parents when they seek to re-
monstrate with her.
Since the acquittal of Miss Mason last
spring, after a trial in the Criminal Court,
there has been a great deal of complaint
against her on the part of patrons. Super
intendent Kendall commenced an investiga-
ton of the charges last week and has
taken the evidence of about twenty wit
nesses. The last hearing was had yester-
day afternoon. Miss Mason has been pres
ent at all the hearings and has made a
vigorous defense The testimony of the
teachers at Tuxedo has been taken and
they are all loyal to the principal. They
seem to feel that she Is an abused woman
and declare that her management of the
school is ideal.
After he has gone carefully over the evil
dence, Superintendent Kendall will make a
report to the School Board

Charles Hines. the night Waterman at
the Hetherington & Berner foundry, on
South street, engaged in a lively revolver
fight yesterday morning with two men
whom, 1t is supposed, were the safe crack
ers who attempted to rob the safe in the
office of Emil Fahrion's feed store; 701 South
Delaware street, early in the morning.
Early yesterday morning a gang of men
broke into the office of Fahrions feed store
with the evident intention of blowing the
safe. The safe they found unlocked. how
ever and they rifed II of it's contents, Sc
curing little or nothing for their trouble.
AT about Ais o'clock in the morning Night
Waterman Hines, of the Hetherington &
Berner Company. while making his rounds
OF the foundry buildings, saw the crouched
figures Of two men in a dark alley in the
rear of the plant. He started toward them.
and one OF the men stepped forward and
shot at him. An instant later both sus-
picious characters opened fire on the watch
man. but he stood his ground. He carried
a pair of revolvers, and with a weapon in
each hand he shot at his antagonists right
and left, emptying both revolvers before he
stopped shooting. The men, on seeing that
Hines would tight, turned and ran for shell
ter. Hines followed them some distance,
but was unable to get close enough to see
who they were.
The local police are dumfounded at the
daring of the gang of safe blowers which
has been operating in this city during the
last few weeks, but they are more than ever
determined to break up the robbing IL pos
sigle. Nearly all business men who have
offices out of the central part of the city
are taking their money TO the banks late
in the afternoons and leaving their safes
unlocked. Nine safes have been blown
within a few weeks, and, while only about
$500 in cash has been secured by the rob-
bers, the damage to property has been over
$1,000.

COLBERT IS DISMISSED
FROM DETECTIVE FORCE
Former Superintendent Is Dropped
by Action of the Board of
Safety.
LONG SERVICE IS PRAISED

Thomas F. Colbert, member of the city's
detective force and formerly superintendent
of Indianapolis police. was last evening dis
missed from the service by the Board OF
Public Safety as the result of that board S
investigation OF charges preferred against
Colbert by Superintendent Kruger. The
specific charge was intoxication while on
duty.
Colbert did not appear at the trial. al
though he had been notified of its Time
and the only testimony heard was from
Superintendent Kruger and Captain Kin
ney, of the detective force. Their testimony
was to the effect that Colbert reported for
duty last Saturday morning In state or
intoxication; that Superintendent Kruger
demanded his badge and was told that he
(Colbert) did not have IL with him, but had
forgotten it and left it at home, and that
Superintendent Kruger had thereupon sus-
pended Colbert and had preferred charges
against him.
President Madden, in announcing the de-
cision of the board, took occasion TO COM
ment on the valuable services which Col
bert had rendered to the city In his ca
pacity as policeman, superintendent or po-
lice and detective.
81 never saw police officer / more ad-
mired than / did Tom Colbert" said Mr..
Madden. / remember one time during the
when Colbert was superintendent of police,
big street car strike of some years ago,
how he held a mob at bay with brace OF
revolvers, with his own life in serious dan
ger. He has been a brave officer and
good officer. But the boards duty TO the
public is plain. We cannot do otherwise
than find Mr.. Colbert guilty and order him
dismissed from the service 1t is the hard
est task of my official life"
John Kerwin and Dennis Colbert, a
brother of the man on trial, appeared be-
fore the board to ask for leniency in his
case.
