CAMDEN'S SALOON FIGHT
OPENED IN A NEW QUARTER BY
CARROLL COUNTY AUTHORITIES.
Special Court of Inquiry to Investi-
gate Recently Opened "CIubrOOms"
Two Saloon Applicants.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
DELPHI Ind. Oct 16.-The saloon fight
in Camden, eight miles east of this city, is
becoming very bitter. Last month two APP
plicants applied for license to conduct
saloons in Camden but they were met with
a remonstrance and knocked out.
Both places were closed and in a few days
a clubroom was opened By William Borns
under a State charter. The temperance
people then centered their efforts to find
out how they could do away with the club.
Since then two more applicants appeared,
Lambert Shanks and John NJ. Brown,
whose applications will come up at the next
commissioners court. Several names have
been withdrawn by the saloon men, but the
temperance people have added a number
and claim they will have sufficient num-
ber to knock them out.
Yesterday the fight was opened in a new
quarter when Prosecutor Pruitt held
court of inquiry before Justice Huland
of this city, and before which large num-
ber of Camden people We're summoned. Lit
tie could be learned of what testimony was
elected but it is generally understood to
have been aimed at the ''clubrooms'' and to
have been instigated by the anti-saloon
element The outcome of the investigation
has not been made public.

STRIKE AT JEFFERSONVILLE.
strikers Families Are Destitute, but
There Is No Sign of Settlement
Business Also Is Suffering.

Special to the indianapolis journal.
JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind, Oct. 16.-It is
estimated that about S60,000 has been lost
in wages by the striking car works en-
ployes since they laid down their tools six
weeks ago and the most serious feature
of it is that at this time the strikers and
officials OF the company are no nearer
settlement than they were the day the
strike was inaugurated. The families of
many of the strikers are almost in destitute
circumstances, but the men say they will
starve before they return to work for the
old wages and under the rules that were
in force in the shops. few of them
have left the city in search for work at
other points.
Not only are the strikers suffering from
the strike, but also the merchants. In
many lines of business receipts have fallen
off 80 per cent. and the seriousness of the
situation is confronting the business men
in all lines of trade.
Unless some agreement is reached shortly
il is believed that the Central Labor Union
will call out the passenger men employed
in the shops and this will no doubt further
delay a settlement.

There is a man who comes to my house

one OF mis- class. but he is terribly poor. and
has hard struggle TO put bread in the

spoken TO me of his cousin, who, he says,
has $1,000 invested and lives on the income
therefrom. My gardener-call him Smith

Monday. and I asked him, as he slashed at
a hedge, If he had come into any good
fortune.
Not quite yet. sir" he replied but I'm

workhouse. That's enough TO make any
reasonable man cheerful
Would you mind explaining your rather
startling statement" said l.
Certainly I'll explain, sir" said Smith.
I've just been reading lot OF leaflets
l believe that's what they call em-that
prove that preferential tariffs are going 10
make England richer than ever, besides
giving working men old-age pensions.
There is one leahet that tells about the
balance of trade. and it's been real COM
fort TO me. 1t says that IL England ex-
ports more than she imports she is getting
rich. and that If she imports more than she
exports she is on the road TO ruin. Now
sir, look at me, Ny exports, which means
what / sell. are a great deal bigger than
my imports which means what buy. I've
sold in the last year pretty near every stick
of furniture We had I'm the house. and there
the missus or the kids that we could get
along without that we haven't sold As
near as I can reckon my exports have been
double my imports and consequently m
on the road TO being a rich man.
Then there's my cousin He never sells
a thing. That is to say, he hasn't
blessed export of any kind. and he buys no
end of things. If his imports don't ex-
ceed his exports by at least ten times,
don't know what I'm talking about. Now,
sir, according to the leafiet, my cousin is
going TO be a ruined man In next TO no
time The balance of trade is everlastingly
against him. and unless he pulls up at once
and sells more things than he buys he'll
be a beggar by the time I'm driving in
my carriage"
/ told the gardener that this certainly
seemed to be a pleasant prospect for him.
but L asked him If he could give me any
idea of the date when the balance of trade
which was so favorable 10 him and so
much against his cousin. would work

ditons.
''The Ieahet don't tell that. sir he

AS result of the condemnation OF press

master general determined 20 get out an-
