TOLD A PATHETIC STORY
VICTIMS OF THE ST. LOUIS FLOOD
AT THE POLICE STATION.
FOOtsore and Weary Woman and Lit
tie Children Appeal to MatrOn
Misunderstanding Lost Husband.

Footsore and weary, Mrs John Miller of
East st. Louis. ILL.,, and her two little girls,
six and eight years old, dragged themselves
into the police station late last night and
asked if the husband and father had been
placed under arrest. When told that no
such a man had been arrested Mrs. Miller
sank into chair and cried from exhaustion
and despair.
Miss Reisner, the matron at the police
station, questioned the woman and found
that she and her family were victims of the
st. Louis food and were made homeless last
Wednesday. Mr.. Miller was poor laboring
man, and had a little money saved, which
he paid to the railroad company for trans
portation for himself and family as far as
Efingham. ILL.,. and from there they walked
to Martinsville. arriving there Saturday
evening. They walked from Martinsville
to Indianapolis yesterday On arriving
here she said. her husband was so tired
that he sat down in a stairway near the
Union Station and fell asleep. She and the
children started out TO find something TO
eat. as they had not dined since leaving
bingham and were almost famished. They
walked around several blocks and returned
to where she thought she had left her hus-
band. but he was gone and. fearing that
he had been arrested, she went to the police
station TO satisfy her mind about him.
Miss Resner listened to the woman's
tale and was deeply touched by the story,
and the hungry and pinched-looking faces
of the children appealed to her tender heart.
She once took up a collection around the
police station and took the unfortunate
woman and her children To a restaurant,
where they ate as IL they were nearly
starved AS the police station was no place
10 keep the unfortunates over night Miss
Reisner called up the matron OF the Door of
Hope over the telephone and secured lodg-
ing and a breakfast for the distressed
woman and her little girls. The Charity
Organization Society will investigate the
case this morning, and. If possible, COM
Portable home will be found for them. The
police are making every effort TO locate the
husband. but up to a late hour last night
no trace OF him had been found.

LAFAYETTE. Ind, June 14.-For more
than six weeks the strike of carpenters in
this city has continued and to-day there
is no sign of settlement. Yesterday the
men met to consider the situation and there
was another meeting in Labor Temple to-
day, but nothing was accomplished toward
ending the strike.
The master builders object to paying the
same rate of wages to all the workmen and
on this fact hinges the whole dispute. The
employers demand TO be allowed TO pay a
sliding scale. fixing the limits at 20 cents
minimum and 32A cents maximum. They
were furnished a list of the members of
the union and graded the men into classes,
taking one hundred of the number, and
this left fifty men without any grade and
the union voted not to accept the PROPOSE
ton.
