"No assertion is made by the Repub-

Judge Robertson, Democratic candi'

DON'T USE GLASSES
FOR CROSSED EYES
Advice of Noted Specialist at Clos
ing Session of Opticians-Jenk-
ms President.

The Indiana Optical Society closed its
ninth annual convention In the assembly
room of the Claypool Hotel last night. after
a two days session. DIR. Charles McCOr-
mick. president of the Chicago Neurological
College of Chicago, ILL.,, gave a very inter-
esting talk at the session last night on the
cure of cross eyes in children. DR.. McCor-
mick said that he was not in favor of put
ting glasses on a child TO cure crossed eyes
and would never advise it. He thought the
best way of treating the defect would be TO
place a patch of cloth over the eyes alter
nately, which would tend to straighten
them 10 sOme extent. When the child be-
came more mature the glasses could be
used. DIR. Mccormick and DIR. j. X. Clay
ton, of S~helbyville, talked before the con-
ventiOn at the afternoon session.
The following officers of the society for
the ensuing year were elected: President.
Charles M. jenkins, Richmond; first vice
president. William Hazeldine, Kokomo:

POLICE STEP INTO PIT
AS COCKS START FIGHT
Big Main Is Broken Up by Raid at
haywood Park Saloon-Many
Arrests Are Made.
AT THE STATION

Had it not been for the indianapolis police
a cock fight would have been pulled of at
Bert Bradley's haywood Park saloon early
yesterday morning. Sergeant Shafer, with
Patrolmen Bailey and Wooley, were de-
tailed TO break the fight up and arrest the
participants If possible. A large room be-
hind the bar had been fitted out as a pit
and the walls were padded with excelsior.
From all appearances there had been sew
eral fights pulled off before the arrival OF
the police. The floor and walls were cov-
cred with blood and feathers and the pit
looked the part of the battle. The room
stepped into the pit and confscated the
game cocks a wild scramble for the doors
was made by the Onlookers.
The three officers of the law succeeded in
arresting Charles l.. Mayer, a Terre Haute
saloon KEEPER, who acted as referee and
stakeholder, two men who gave their names
as William Kline and James Moore, who
were acting as seconds to two birds which
had just been placed in the pit. and George
Gallivan, James Stanton and Richard John
son. Kline put up $225 to insure the appear
ance of the men in Police Court yesterday
morning. TIL men failed to appear. but on
the suggestion of their attorney the case
was continued until next Wednesday, when
they Will be given a hearing. Five fine
game cocks were cOnfiscated by the police
and they are now housed in the basement
their owners. Richard Johnson, one of the
men arrested, was badly cut in attempting
TO escape from the saloon by awli
through a window.

PROSPERITY IS REWARD
FOR WORK OF PAST YEAR
Inspector McAbee's Report Shows
Unusual Activity in States In
dustries for 1903.
INCREASE OF LABORERS

According TO the annual report OF State
Factory Inspector McAbee. which was sub
mitted TO Governor Durbin yesterday, the
past year has been one Of unusual prosper
ity in almost every line OF business. But
two exceptions are noted in the report
the steel and w~indowglass business-in
which there has been a slight stagnation
during the past year. Mr.. NfAbee believes
that the cause for the lull in the glass
business has been due to the glass-blowing
machines, for which the operators have
been holding back their fires in the hope
that the machines may be perfectly prac-
teal.
According to the report, the State has
forty-sjx industries. which employ more
than five hundred men. There is a tenden-
cy, says Mr.. McAbee in his report, for fac
tories TO locate here from Ohio and other
nearby States. The inspector also notes
that many industrial concerns are moving
nearer the coal regions of the State in or
der to have an adequate supply of fuel.
This emigration is especially noticeable in
the gas belt. The years industry shows an
unusual concentration in the cement mills
port shows, toward these concerns forming
q trust.
The report shows most strikingly that
there was a general increase in factory
work last year as compared with former
years. The total number of people en-
ployed In factories last year was 1S9, 1872; in
1902 the number Of 17S,0l9. There was also
an Increase in the number of accidents in
the factories last year, the number reaching
$50, an increase of about 100. Organized
labor is employed in 96l factories.

WILSON TO Be TRIED ON
A CHARGE OF COWARDICE
Sought Shelter in Nearby House
While Drunk Man Held Bridge
at Point of Revolver, Is Story.
ME ACTS OF FEAR

Superintendent of Police Kruger yester-
day morning filed charges of cowardice
against Patrolman ]. w. Wilson, who. IT
is said. hid in a house last Sunday when
Milton Gross. drunk. held the bridge at
Thirtieth street and the canal at the point
of "A revolver and refused TO allow any one
to cross il. Gross fred a number of shots
at Wilson when he tried TO place him IN
der arrest. and the charges against the
policeman say that when the shots were
fired he took refuge in the residence Of
Mrs. Louisa Bcine. near by. and did not
come out until the danger was over. Gross
in the meantime was subdued by his
brother John.
IT is also said that Wilson. after leaving
the Beine residence. took refuge in the
saloon run by Moses Kenoyer and remained
there for nearly ten minutes. Superintend-
ent Kruger said yesterday that he had filed
the charges against Wilson on the recon-
mendation of Sergeants Hagerman and
White, who had been detailed to conduct
an investigation of the case. An effort
may be made to have the license of
Kenoyers roadhouse revoked, as Ii has for
a long time been a source of great trouble
to the police. Wilson claims that he did
not go into the saloon or the Beine resi-
dence through fear. for he knew Gross
well and supposed he was shooting blank
cartridges. He will be tried before the
Board Of Safety next Saturday night.

QUARTER CENTURY ENDED
WITH A HAPPY PROGRAMME

GIVE WATCH TO KELLER

One of the years most important functions
in German society. circles was the celebra-
ton of the silver jubilee of the Independent
Turnverein at the North nlinois-street hall
of that organization last night. with mem
bers of the MaennerchOr as its guests. Jan.
/, 1904, marked the twenty-ffth anniversary
Of the founding of the Independent Turn
verein. but for several reasons a fitting cele-
bration Of the occasion was postponed until
last night. The affair was a tremendous
success.
The programme consisted of several parts,
including songs by the Maennerchor. turn
ing exhibitions by the active Turner's. mu-
steal selections by the orchestra and several
addresses. An address of welcome TO the
visiting guests was delivered by George Sci
densticker, and Joseph Keller. who has been
president of the society for twelve successive
terms. gave a history of the society from
its foundation 10 the present. One Of the
most interesting ceremOnials of the evening
followed Mr.. Keller's talk, when he was
presented with a gold watch by members
of the society as evidence of the esteem in
which he is held and a testimonial OF the
great services he has rendered the OrganiZa-
ton. Taken completely by surprise. Mr..
Keller found difficulty in expressing his
gratitude. but returned a few words of
thanks TO the donors.
AS another ceremony of the evening. Miss
Anna Schaefer, in behalf of. the ladies' sec
ton. presented the society with n beautiful
silk American flag. making the presenta-
ton with an appropriate little talk.
William Riess, editor of the German Tele-
graph. presented the society with an oil
painting by himself. an excellent likeness
of the late Adolph Siedensticker. founder of
the Independent Turnverein. The painting
was hung upon the wall of the hall with
fitting ceremonies.
This programme was followed by an elab-
crate supper and a dance, extending the
jubilee celebration into the small hours of
the morning. The gymnasium. in which the
programme of the first part of the evening
and the dance were given. was decorated
with cut flowers and foliage by Bertermann,
and the decoration was pronounced by many
the finest that the gymnasium has ever
been given.
The committee in charge Of the jubilee
entertainment was composed of Joseph
