STARTLING Query
Is Crime on the Increase
Among the Women of
Indiana?
FIGURES INDICATE IT
State Statistician johnson Points to
Alarming Increase of Inmates of
WOmens' Prison.
At the Prisons For Males, on the
Other Hand, There Is Fall
ing Off.

indianapolis, Aug. 22.-More inter
esting figures regarding the penal and
reform institutions of Indiana have
been prepared by State Statistician
Johnson, and they are certainly start
ling in their nature. These figures
show that CRIME among women is on
the increase in the state, while male
criminals, at least the number confined
in the states institutions, are consid-
erably fewer than in previous years.
The alarming increase in one year
from forty-four to sixty-six is the rec
ord at the woman's prison. At the in
situations for males, on the other hand,
there has been a steady decrease in
the last five years. These figures, Mr..
Johnson thinks, speak for themselves.
There is another evil which the sta
tistician points out, and that is that
altogether too many Migrants are
cared for in the county jails. With the
great opportunity for men who really
want work to secure employment, Mr..
Johnson points out that there is no
reason why there should be any va
grants in the state, and he declares
that there should be an amendment Of
the state laws to punish such offenders
so severely that they would not re-
main long in Indiana.

swept by a fierce cyclone, wrecking
barns and outhouses and causing thou
sands of dollars damage to growing
crops in this part of the state. Instead

MINE WORKERS MAY SUE
Effort to Lift Embargo on Indiana
Coal May Be Made.

Indianapolis, Aug. 22.-It is report
ed on good authority that the execu-
tive council of the United Mine Work
ers of America will take steps at it's
meeting in Indianapolis tomorrow to
break the embargo on Indiana coal.
1t is understood that the officials of
the United Mine Workers nave sought
legal advice on the situation in Indiana
as affecting coal transportation.
Whether or not the executive council
will take the lead or assist in bringing
suit is, OF course, problematical at
this time.
w. B. Wilson, secretary Of the
United Mine Workers, was reticent
when seen regarding the Indiana en-
barge. If suit should be filed the
charge against the defendant railroad
companies probably would be conspir-
acy against interstate commerce.
