RARE DICKENS EDITION
OWNED BY W. w. ASTOR
Gold on the Volumes Said to Be
Worth Fifteen Hundred
tlOIiaYs

LONDON April 29.-William Wal
dorf Astor, accompanied by his son-in-
law, Captain Spender Clay has been
taking quiet runs on his luxuriously
equipped motor car recently into OBJ
scure little country villages on the bor-
ders OF London. A few days ago they
were seen travelling at a moderate
pace along by Epping Forest and later
on they appeared at Chigwell, where
they lunched at the famous old inn
immortalized by Dickens.
Though his own literary style con-
veys no suggestion of it. Astor is an
ardent Dickensonian and anything
with which the name of the great
master is identified he is interested in.
1t is said that he has an edition of
Dickens so richly bound that many
thousands of dollars could not buy it,.
He has special man in from the we'll
known firm of w. H. Smith & Son to
look after his library at regulated
times and nc binder but this man is
allowed TO touch the Dickens edition.
He has other editions for the use
of his friends and even the servants
are allowed the free use of them when
they feel they have time to read 1t is
estimated that the gold alone on the
richly bound volumes must have cost
$780,

Conspiracy Is the
Charge Against
Union Men.
Vicious Rioting on
the Lake City's
Streets.

CHICAGO. April 2s.-Twelve Of the
labor leaders prominently identified
with the teamsters' strike were in
dicted by the Grand Jury tonight.
This was the last day of the session
of the jury and the indictments were
returned to Judge McEwen just before
the jury adjourned. Each Indictment
contains six counts and charges the
men with conspiracy.
The indictments were based solely on
the evidence given during the last
week by witnesses who testified spe-
officially as to the troubles of the labor
unions and Montgomery Ward & Co.
The investigation was of a general
character and evidence was heard on
all phases of the strike, including that
which related to conferences between
the leaders of the unions interested and
not interested in the strike. specific
acts of the same leaders in these con-
ferences and the conversations with
employers.
The most important and detailed
evidence on which the voting of the
indictments was based came from
Frederick Job. secretary of the En-
ployers' Association, and from Robert
j. Thorne, manager for Montgomery
Ward & Co. and a stockholder in the
coal firm of Daniels & Co.
GRAND JURY'S ACCUSATIONS.
One count in the indictment charges
the defendants with conspiring to pre-
vent all persons not members Of the
re-
ployment as drivers. This is described
in the count as being contrary to
"police morals" Another count
charges conspiracy to prevent any
union teamster from picking up or de-
livering any goods from Montgomery
Ward & Co. This is declared to be
violation of trade morals" A third
count charges conspiracy to do an IL
legal act, in that the tean.sters were
warned not to do any work for Mont
gomery Ward & Co. The fourth
charges that the conspirators COM
PEELED the proprietor of the Windsor
Clifton Hotel to put out certain guests
of the hotel because they were en-
ployes of Montgomery Ward & Co.
The strike continued to spread to-
day and large number of teamsters
employed by lumbermen, grocers and
various coal companies went out. The
most serious phase was the aggressive
ness of the packers. ice dealers and
7 commission men, who have decided
isthat they wifi stand with the members
of the Employers Association and de-
mand that their teamsters make deliv-
I cries. 1t was decided by the packers,
! ice dealers and commission men that
they would issue orders for deliveries
to boycotted firms and that If any
| teamster declined to make them he
! was to be instantly discharged. This
means a lockout, for the men have
/ already declared that they will. not
make such deliveries ss2
There is a strong sentiment among
the labor men to have President Roose-

Welt interfere in the strike when he ar
rives in the city on his return from
Colorado.
At the suggestion Of Miss Jane Ad-
dams of Hull House, Mayor Dunno to-
day decided to appoint a committee Of
citizens to confer with the employers
and strike leaders with the hope of ef-
fecting a peaceful settlement of the
trouble.
VICIOUS STREET FIGHTING.
The fighting in the streets to-day
was the most vicious since the com
mencement of the strike. Three per
sons were shot, two were stabbed and
fully a score suffered bruises and
broken heads. None of the wounded
will die.
In nearly every portion of the busi-
ness district to-day there were numer-
Gus hand-to-hand encounters between
union and nom union men. The latter
were aided in many places by the po-
lice
Peter Kalusen, the proprietor of
grocery, died this afternoon as result
of injuries received when he was at

and kicked. One kick fractured the

telling. he could have ordered up his armored cruisers on the opposite side Of CLe Of the Japanese lines and fired on it from both sides.
 The tNe~.y advanced from St. Pe- ta-s burg that Rojestvensky held to his double line formation and kept his ships closely together in the idea that he would be able to cut his way through the Japanese fleet in the fog, and wanted to get all his ships through as quickly as possible, is accepted only on the basis that a poor excuse
 is better than none. Rojestvensky knew that Togo was waiting for him and meant to give battle. When the Japanese fleet was sighted the fog was not thick enough to prevent a pitched battle. Therefore, what Ro- jestvensky should have done was to change his formation to a single line, with the lighter ships trailing the heavy ones Admiral Togo had his ships well in hand st all times, and his attack was perfectly carried out After the Russians mad been thrown into confusion the Japanese torpedo boats and destroyers, which had been under the lee of the battle ships where they belonged. darted out in swarms and launched their torpedoes at close range. which they were able to reach through the panic on some Of the Russian ships.
 The damage effected by torpedo boats is one point on which Admiral Dewey. like all of the other naval strategists. is very anxious to receive further information. but it is evident that they were handled in exact ac- cordance with American ideas and contributed their share to the victory. Admiral Dewey is convinced that Togo has firmly established the supremacy of the battle ship and finally eXplOd- ed the theory, which has been held by the public rather than by the naval experts, that the torpedo boats soon would supercede the real fighting ship.
 It has been proven, he thinks, that torpedo boats and destroyers are val uable adjuncts to navy only when they are used as Togo used them, to supplement and follow up the destruc- tive fire of the battle ships, which pro tect them until the time comes when they can be used The battle ship is the base from which the torpedo oper- ates. and the apparent need of the American navy, as Admiral Dewey sees it, is more battle ships, and much more rapid naval construction. Rank- ing with the demand for battle ships is the necessity for the training of the personnel of the navy Rojestvensky, who tried to whip green crews into shape in six months and failed, as compared with the veteran fighters of Togo, has proved that fighting crews, light fighting ships, can not be made n day.
 American crews under American of ficers undoubtedly would have been much better prepared for severe en- gagement than were Admiral Rojest- vensby, but they still would not have been in the same class with men who had been trained in discipline and gun fire for two or three years.

Some Mexican Laws.

A Topeka man who recently toured Mexico tells that they have some very curious criminal laws down there. For example, the statutes make ii twice as much of an offense to mutilate the face of woman as that of man. While in the City of Mexico he attended court one day and saw a man sentenced to one year in prison for cutting his para mour across the face with knife. II his victim had been man the sentence would not have been III ore than four months at the outside. The law seems to be based on the idea that a woman's 8 best possession is her beauty, and that to mar it does her great injury. There is another curious law. If a person should be wounded in an encounter the punishment to the offender is fixed by the number of days his victim has to stay in the hospital or under a doctors care. A line is fixed at 40 days in the way of a general division. If the in jured man occupies more than 40 days in his recovery the penalty doubles up, As we understand the Topeka man these are not court customs, but statu- tory enactments.-ka Kansas City Jour- nal.

NOTHING IS FORGOTTEN.
One Story That Illustrates the Te- nacfty Of the Subjective
 Mind.

year ago Chicago woman was wis iting in G New York village. She went with her hostess to make @ call on the next-door neighbor. The woman on whom she was calling incidentally men tioned that she expected niece who was just graduating at some college Her name was not mentiOned. A few days later the Chicago woman left. On her way to the station she stopped next door to get parcel 1t was handed to her by young woman. That is all there was 10 that end of the story.
 One day lately the Chicago woman went on lake trip On the boat she met young woman from neighbor- ing state. Each thought. the others face was familiar, but neither said any thing about it. Finally common friend happened to mention a Michi- , gan summer resort to the Chicago wom- an The Chicago woman had never been there, but had relatives who went ton of the New York village. In Q flash the Chicago woman knew that the girl with the familiar face was the one who gave her the parcel the day she left. The minute the name of the vil- iage was mentioned to the girl she rec ognized the Chicago woman as the one to whom she had handed the parcel.
 This is good example of what the hypnotists and "suggestionists" call the subjective mind. It illustrates very i aptly the old saying that nothing is really forgotten, and that all impress sions gre indelibly engraved upon tho mental retina. In this fact lies the ex- i planation of many vagaries of the mind that on the face of things puzzle the "icntsts.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

HABITS OF SPEECH.
Faulty Language Used in Child. hood Is Hard to Correct in
 After Life.

"Why do educated parents allow their children to contract habits of un. grammatical speech that will hay. to be conquered in after-life?" asked spin. ster of mother.
 Because they hate to worry the poor little things about such matters when they are young and should be care free. It seems cruel to be all the time cor recting them and keeping them on their good behavior. They will have to learn the rules of our dreadful language all too soon as it is."
 'Yes,'' said the spinster, "and In ad. dition to learning to speak properly they will have to unlearn the tricks of speech in which they have been allowed ts indulge all their little lives. 1 know," laughing, that there is much ridicule of old maids children but I believe that my theory in this case is correct. It is n positive unkindness to let your child double his negatives and say 'ain't,' when several years from now he will be harshly reproved for such lapses. The child must learn to talk. anyway, and is it not as easy to teach him to say It is IT, as It's me?' And is it not as simple for the little tongue to lisp I saw it, as T seen it?' love baby talk, and should not correct child for his mispronuncation of hard words As he grows older he will himself see his mistakes in that line and change them. But I insist that it is parents duty to make the difficult path to gram never allowing the little. ones\to stray from it in the beginning" g."-Harper's BaZar
