REFORM NEEDED IN THE JAILs

indianapolis, July %. = Governor
Durbin has ordered Warden Reid,
chairman of the prison reform board,
to make an immediate investigation Of
the conditions prevailing in the jails
in Floyd, Lawrence, Clinton and Della
ware counties. The state board of
charities and corrections strongly con-
demned the immoral conditions exist
ing in the jails in the counties men,
toned and laid the evidence of the
conditions before the governor.

nation of the jails mentioned "unfavor-

UNCLE SANS PRINT SHOP
Presidents Ruling Makes II "Open" and
the Labor Unions Are Thinking
Mighty Hard.

Washington, July 2S.-There was a
long discussion ut meeting at Typo
graphical hall of the situation aris-
ing over the reinstatement of W. A.
Miller, the assistant foreman Of the
bindery In the government printing
office. The meeting was attended by
leaders Of all. the allied unions, bf :
sides President Gompers, of the FED
GRAFTON Of Labor. Those present said
that the meeting took no definite ac-
ton.
What bothers the union is that the
presidents ruling in Miller's case
practically makes the government
printing Office an"open" shop, in which
a man or woman may be employed
whether members OF any union or not
They are very anxious that the chief
executive find some way in which his
ruling may be modified so that this
condition of affairs will not arise, and
that some solution will be found so
that the government printing Office will
not become an "open'' shop. Hereto
fore it has been strictly union.

Indianapolis, July 29.-P- operty own
ers in College avenue have asked the
court to issue an Injunction prevent
ing the Indiana Union Traction COM
pany, which controls most of the trac-

sCitisens Armed and Probability of Hot
Tims-Pilot Hi1 Fight.

n la rR&nt.
A report is received here to the eff
feet that eight convicts were seen max
ing their way northward along Green
wood creek towards the town of Green
wood, where 1t is probable a raid will
be made by the fugitives, as it is
known that they are very short of pro-
visions Guard Mcdonald, of Folsom,
who is in this vicinity with eleven
other guards from the penitentiary, is
of the 0pinOin that the escaped pris-
-oners are trying to get into the coun-
try north OF Greenwood, some sections
of which are admin ably suited for hid
ing and defense purposes
Posses are now In pursuit and the
residents of Greenwood have been
warned Of the direction taken by the
c0nyicts, and it Is reported from there
that a defense party viii be organized
at once to protect the town.
The fight at Pilot Hill between the
convicts and their pursuers seems to
have been a serious affair. After they
had looted a provision store at Pilot
Hill the convicts were practically sur
rounded by the sheriffs of Sacramento
and Placer counties, each commanding
Z strong posse.
All four horses on the convicts' wag-
on Wee shot, and one of the criminals
was killed outright Then the outlaws
raised white dag and marched up the
road with the guards and others whom
they had captured on each side of
them A general volley was not or
dered, as it might have killed several
innocent men. In this deliberate man.
ner the second escape was made.

Anderson, Ind, July 29.-Members
Of the fire department, together with
the authorities, are wrestling with the
question whether or not spirits of the
dead ever become devilish and mali
cious, sufficiently at least to throw a
lighted lamp into q room. If such
pranks are possible, then it is asserted
that the spirits attempted to commit
arson, if not to murder Miss Nellie
Black, who lives OH the second floor
of a business block in this city Miss
Black was suddenly aroused by fire
and smoke in her room. Although suf-
fering from rheumatism, which had
rendered her well-nigh helpless, she
made her way to telephone and
called the fire department.

When the firemeharriyed they found
the fire .well-nigh extinguished, while

floor. Miss Black alleged that she left
the lamp bui ming low in the hallway,
and had closed and locked her door
before retiring, and sls could not ex-
plain how the lamp got into her room,
or how it was broken, unless an evil
spirit was at fault. She is a firm be-
lever In Spi. itualism, asserting that
she has often seen the spirits of the
dead, and conversed with them.

Charlottesville, Ind, July 29.-Vol
ney 2. Irwin, a well-known citizen
of Charlottesville by reason of his
wealth and strong allegiance to Spirit
ualism, is dead from nervous prostra-
ton. He had horror of the estab-
lished rules of medicine, and never
called a doctor, although an invalid for
years. He was always ready to try
anything in magnetic healing. He was
man of great wealth, but lived alone,
denying himself even the comforts of
life. He owned the corner which has
been selected as the site for the new
federal building in this city, but bit
terly opposed giving it up at any price.
He decla ed he would fight the con-
cemnation proceedings now at issue to
his last breath, and he did so.

Muncie, Ind, July 27.-The where
abouts of Miss Elma Swafford, aged
10 years, who mysteriously disap-
peared from her home in this city one
cold afternoon last January, is still "a
mystery. Since she left her mother
to purchase pair of shoes nothing

though the country has been searched
diligently. The parents are prostrated
after six months spent in futile ef-
forts to locate their child. Mrs. Swat
fo.d is in critical condition.
She became i'll shortly after the dis
appearance Of her daughter, and the
failure to find her has changed her
from robust woman to an invalid
and doctors fear Mrs. Swafford will
not live a fortnight unless the child
is found. The father has spent almost
every available dollar in employing as
sistance in locating his missing child,
and the family, once wealthy, is now
poor.

because the railroad company was un-
able to supply the demand for cars.
