HOTEL LOBBY GLEANINGS
SENATOR ULREY, OF FORT WAYNE,
JUBILANT OVER GOOD FORTUNE.
He Succeeded Beyond His Most SAM
bermen COming-HOtel Stories.

State Senator Lew ". Ulrey, Of Fort
Wayne, the hold-over representative Of AL
len county in the upper branch Of the Cen
eral Assembly, has struck it rich since
the adjournment of the recent session. An
him good start up Easy street. with pros
poets of permanent residence on that de-
sirable thoroughfare. The senator was in
the city a few hours yesterday and told
Of his good fortune.
About two weeks before the adjourn
ment Of the Legislature" he said, II got
tip that a valuable lease in the Parker City
field. in Randolph county, could be secured,
and 1 went to work quietly on the deal as
soon as l could get away from Indianap-
oils. found that company that had a
lease on 5000 acres was about ready to drop
it because Of a failure of some of their
plans and ! secured an option on the prop
erty for almost nothing. Within three days
1 had an offer of $4,000 cash for my option
some big wells had been struck in that
field and the tract was in the very heart
of 1t. Ten thousand dollars was several
times as much as l had hoped to make out
of the deal, but L concluded to hold on a
little while and try to organize company
TO develop the property. l was successful,
and sold a three-fourths interest in the
lease for three times the amount offered
me for my option.
II retained a fourth interest in the COM
pany, which will be Incorporated for $1,000.
900 under the laws of North Dakota, and
am vice president and general manager.
Adlai e. Stevenson, of Bloomington, ILL.,,
who was Vice President under Cleveland s
first administration, is president of the
company. Naturally 1 am feeling pretty
good over the deal. / have always been a
poor man, and have had TO do some pretty
hard scratching, but it seems that things
have come my way at last.
Senator Ulrey is a Democrat Of the ag-
gressive type, and he attracted consider
able attention during the Legislature by
his vitriolic speeches on questions that
presented a partisan side He has been
talked of as a candidate for the Democratic
nomination for Congress from the Twelfth
district, in opposition to Representative J..
NJ. Robinson, but he says he has no con-
gressional aspirations.

one day when. seeing poor woman crouch
ing IN the street. she said: There, but for
the grace of God, Is Frances T. willard
a"One of the most terrible things in our
present industrial life is the inability TO
ind the man we work for. IT used to be In
the old days that workers knew who was
IN the Office, just who signed their pay
slips. who was responsible. Now there is
nothing but an IT. On the one side are
the hundreds OF workmen, on the other the
it. The Ii and the money that runs the
factory may be In London. There is too
little connection between the employer. and
the men.
"A wise man once said to me that be-
hind every strike could be found the rash
or Incorporate act OF some one man. i
think that is very true. Strikes are respon-
sible for so many other defects OF our pres
ent social system. Take the great city of
P1ttsburg. Out Of every 10000 marriages
In Pittsburg there are 243 divorces. Strikes
come. men are thrown out of employment
Where do they go? They become hobos
and take to the road. After awhile the
wife has to get divorce or the man gets
one. In other great cities the same is true"
Mr.. McNutt told a number of stories OF
his experiences with working men all over
the country. and declared that the only
way for social and labor problems to be
solved Is for men to get to know one an
other better.

ZIER PLANT SOLD.
The Sale Authorized by Judge Ander-
son, of Federal Court

Judge Anderson of the United States Dis
trict Court yesterday authorized the sale OF
the manufacturing plant of M. Zier & Co.,
in New Albany. now being operated by the
federal receiver, Fred ID. Common, to Joseph
& Leeman, of Louisville. The recommended
ton for the sale was made by the receiver
and the courts assent was necessary before
the purchasers could take possession of the
plant, which they will do Immediately. The
consideration for the plant was $11 500.
The NJ Zier Manufacturing Company was
forced into involuntary bankruptcy by it's
creditors several months ago and the ques-
ton of jurisdiction in the appointment of
receivers to take charge of it caused O
citation of several prominent New Albany
people as well as attorneys Sachs and
Watts, of Louisville, in the Federal Court
on charges of contempt of court. Six citi-
zens of New Albany were sentenced to
terms of Imprisonment in the Marion coun-
ty Jail for contempt of court and attorneys
Sachs and Watts were punished likewise
The attorneys were released from Jail after
habeas corpus proceedings had been in
stituted in the United States Supreme
Court.
The company had liabilities amounting to
about $4,000 when the receiver took charge
and it's assets aggregated 100000 The
creditors are being satisfied with about
80 per cent. OF their claims. The sale
of the plant was followed by the appoint
ment of Michael Zier, formerly president
of the company as superintendent of the
factory by the purchasers.

attempting to show that the man was killed
as the result of feud of the Kentucky
mountains variety. have been nothing but

Absolutely no foundation in fact. except
that Yeager was found dead, and that he
had either been murdered or had commit
ted suicide. The chances are about nine
ont of ten that he killed himself.
ssThe sensational stories have proved very
annoying 10 the better class of people OF

WILL BE ARRAIGNED SOON.
Persons Indicted by the Federal
Grand Jury in It's Last RepOrt.

The persons indicted by the federal grand
jury in it's last report will be arraigned be-
fore Judge Anderson in the United States
Court Tuesday next for pleading. One of
the men indicted, William Charild, for
violation of the pension regulations, was
arrested last night at his home, No. 212s-
East Twenty-Second street, and taken to
the county Jail.
Charild's alleged pension fraud consisted
in his obtaining his pension on the last quar-
terly payment by presenting duplicate set
of certificates. His original certificates had
been deposited with a money lender as Sc
curity for a sum of money borrowed and
Charild's offense is that of obtaining dupli-
Gates under false pretenses Although pen
sion certificates are of no value as securi-
ties for debt and it is unlawful for any
person to retain a pensioners papers, no
case could be made against the money
lender
