PATENT EXHIBIT AT FAIR.
The United States L. 10 show some
Interesting Models of Early
Inventions.

The exhibit OF the United States Pat
ent Office at the Worlds Fair will
show series of models designed 10
represent ideas that have made epochs
in the industrial history of the world.
So far as possible, the first thing OF
its kind in every line of human inyen-
ton will be shown. For instance, Wis
itors will have an opportunity TO see
the actual sewing machine which was
the first practical continuance OF its
kind ever constructed. 1t was patented
in 1916 by Elias Howe. Previously, in
1912, J. ]. Greenough had obtained a
patent for a sewing machine, which
carried the cloth along automatically,
having a needle with hole in the mid
die.
Equally interesting in its way is the
earliest typewriter, which was pat
ented by c. Thurber in 1912. The type
keys are set around the periphery OF
a horizontal brass wheel, and in or
der to print letter it is merely neces-
sary to punch one of the buttons.

The exhibit will include model OF
the first cast-iron pillow, which was pat
ented by Charles Newbold in 1877, and
the first screw propeller. which was
invented by Robert Hook in 1880
The invention of the steamboat Is
credited to Robert Fulton, yet in the

however, in the line Of aquatics, VIII
be that Of Abraham Lincoln's famous
device for lifting steamboats, on
shoals.
Another exhibit will be the nrst
printing press and harvesting machine
the latter made in $50 b. Z.
The first locomotive and first steam
engine, made in Egypt $50 B. C.. also
will be shown with many other rare
inventions.

 where he is gone, no one seems to
 know, although the citizens in that
 vicinity have for the past six or

 he had been working for years on

The side of the plaintiff, who demanded a partition, was argued by Mir. Haz- gard, of the firm of Hereford x while two owners who were represented by Judge Lowell and General Wilson.

"POLLY PRY" 4 VISITOR
TO THE CONVENTION
Mrs. Anthony, Who Writes Under
Nom de Plume, Discusses
UnioniSm Here.

Mrs. Lionel Ross Anthony more widely
known by the pen name of polly Pry," one
of the few editors who have attacked the
methods of labor unions, spent yesterday
at the Claypool Hotel.
She also has the distinction of being the
only woman commissioner to represent
State at the st. Louis worlds fair. She
is commissioner from Colorado and with
her secretary, Miss Florence Benson, went
TO St Louis last night to attend a meeting
of members of the Colorado delegation.
Mrs. Anthony came to Indianapolis to at
tend session of the convention of the Citi-
zens' Industrial Association.
II am much interested in this convention
of the employers" she said because
am working for the principles upon which
the association is founded / was in
Chicago yesterday and thought 1 would
run down to indianapolis and see what the
convention is doing"
Polly Pry'' is the name of paper pub
lfShed in Denver by Mrs. Anthony and de-
voted to the reform of anarchistic and So
cialistic measures of labor unions. She has
become noted as a woman who speaks and
writes fearlessly and came into public
prominence a short time ago by her at
tackS upon the methods of Colorado
unions as well as by an attempt at assas-
sination upon her in Denver. She has open
ly denounced labor leaders in Denver.
MIS-. Anthony began the puDucatlOn Oh ner
paper, Polly Pry, about a year ago. AT
first she did not turn her pen to the labor
question but later, having been given an
opportunity, came forth for the principles
which she now advocates. She was given
the opportunity to speak by the state press
calling upon her to explain a story which
she wrote in a Denver paper relating TO
the Colorado strike. After that she de-
voted her paper to labor questions, and her
publication has become widely known. A
special feature of it is the printing of the
news in each of the strike centers of the
country.
She is now running a history of the Col
orado strike I'm the columns of Polly Pry.
Mrs. Anthony is a woman of a pleasing
personality. She converseS with an anima-
ton that betokens the energy which has
made her prominent. This is her first visit
to indianapolis. She expects to return next
Monday to attend the renewed conference of
the miners and operators who will seek to
adjust a wage scale.
II do not object to the organization of
labor" said Mrs. Anthony, "as long as the
unions keep within the limits of the law; but
/ do denounce most vehemently their pres
ent unlawful and violent methods. l am
now arranging to start two other publica-
tons of Polly Pry-one in Chicago, the first
issue Of which will appear next week. and
one in New York, which will not make its
appearance until April l. The papers will
stand for the same principles as set forth
in my Denver paper. | hope in time to es-
tablish Polly Prys in other cities, for 1 be-
lieve there is great need of a reform in
the present methods of labor unions"

EIGHT-HOUR BILL DISCUSSION.
Zone of the questions to which the fedora
ton has always given the greatest attention
is that of the eight-hour day. 1t has con-
stantly worked for the better enforcement
OF the law which gives the eight-hour day
to employees of the United States, and for
the extension of the new classes of EN-
plOyes. 1t has worked for similar laws for
the employees of the state and local govern
ments. 1t has advocated an amendment of
the Constitution of the United States which
should give Congress power to regulate the
hours of labor in all factories. The fedora
ton has not, however, depended chiefly on
political action for this movement. Its lead
ers constantly impress it on their followers
that the eight-hour day is the most impor-
tant goal for the WOrkmen, and that il must
be fought for at every opportunity Three
times the federation has proposed great
simultaneous movements in this direction
Short hours which might be possible with
some would be fatal TO others. Geographical
and climatic conditions enter into the prob
lem. Environment has much to do with it,
Certain work is conditioned upon daylight
only, other work can be done by artificial
light as we'll. The thousand and one ele-
ments entering into this problem cannot be
determined by legislative enactments. Each
trade has its own law and environment"
