TRUE STORY OF CRUELTY
LIKE TOLD By DICKENS
Stepmother Living in Abingdon Town.
ship in Court for Mistreating Chill
dren-Are Taken From Her and
Placed in Good Hands.

Because their step-mother, aged II,
mistreated them and drove them from
the house, the three children of An
thony Morton were yesterday ordered
taken from their father and his wife
and placed in the care of others. The
case was in the Circuit Court and at
tracted considerable attention on ac.
count of the heartlessness of the par
ents who have wilfully and sadly neg
lected George Riley Morton, Alice
Morton and Arthur Morton, aged res
pectively IL; II and 8.
The Mortons live in Arlington town
ship and for several weeks attention
of the neighbors has been called to
the manner in which the step children
of the young wife were treated by
her. The evidence showed that she
made life unbearable. half fed and
half clothed the three youngsters and
at different times drove them from
the house.
The two boys were taken by differ
ent families, the oldest one by a doc
tor of Anderson. On promise of prop
erly caring for the girl, the father was
allowed to keep her.

HIGH HONOR CONFERRED.
Mrs. Elizabeth Earl Made President
of Winona Women's Commission
Wayne County Woman.

The Connersville News in the fol-
lowing refers to native of Wayne
county and sister of Mrs. Virginia
C. Meredith.
"a distinguished honor has just
been conferred upon Mrs. Elizabeth
G. Earl, of this city, by the managers
of the Winona Assembly. Recently
there came into existence the Winona
Women's Commission and of the
same Mrs. Earl has been chosen pre-
sident. An idea of the. scope of the
movement can be gained when it is
known that the commission will be
composed of about 1000 women and
the board of trustees of about As
women. The commission will be in
charge of the Winona girls school, the
domestic science and library depart
ment and the Bible school, of New
York City, which was founded by
Helen Gould. The selection of Mrs.
Earl to head this movement is COM
pliment to the city and a splendid
recognition of that 1ady's evtraordin-
airy executive ability"

New Paris, O., May 10.-Tonight
David Mackey, the aged victim of a
murderous assault by his brother
Isaac, who ended his life by commit
ting suicide, was still alive but so
weak that the spark of life was al
most gone. Throughout the day David
suffered one spasm after another
Considering the fact that David Mack
ey is So years of age. cripple for the
past four years, and that he was
struck down with a hatchet early
Tuesday morning, three ugly gashes
being cut in his skull, it is regarded
as little short of marvellous the vi
tality he has shown.
Isaac Laid to Rest.
This afternoon Isaac Mackey. the
fratricide and suicide, was laid to
rest in the local cemetery after simple
services which were held at the
Christian church, the pastor, the Rev.
Mr.. Williams officiating. The re-
marks made by the pastor made no
reference to Isaac's terrible crime. A
handful of people attended the SER
vices. the majority being attracted
to the church out of curiosity. Isaac
Mackey was a member OF the local
order of Odd Fellows but they took
no part in the funeral services.
Litigation Will Result.
1t is now regarded as almost certain
that litigation will result from the
tragedy. The question has already
arisen as to who will inherit the prop
erty on which the two brothers lived.
The heirs of David are his two broth
ers, Joshua Mackey of Arlington, Ind,
and John Mackey of Eldorado, O. The
heirs of Isaac Mackey are his daugh-
ter, Mrs. William Null Of New Paris
and two sons, whose whereabouts are
not known. Some contend that Da-
vid's heirs are entitled to the property
and others say that the estate belongs
to the heirs of Isaac. The contract
under which the two brothers lived
during the past four years was rem
dered null and void last Monday. but
another contract was entered into on
that date and was drawn up by JUS
tice of the Peace Hilderbrand.
The New Contract.
This contract was to the effect
that Isaac should take over the prop
erty on his payment of s725 to Da-
vid Justice Hilderbrand stated yes
terday that it was his opinion that
this contract would stand Mrs. Null
also claims that at the time of her
fathers death he was the rightful
owner of the property. Just what the
sentiments of John and Joshua Mack
ey are is not known but it is thought
that they will assert their claims for
the estate.

ARE PREPARING ANSWERS
THE QUERIES OF GOMPERS
Hoosier Congressman are Nearly all
Preparing their Statements Showing
Their Views on Various Phases Of
Labor Legislation.
Palladium Specially

Washington, May 10.-Nearly all Of
the Indiana congressman are prepar-
ing answers to the recent communica-
ton from President Gompers in which
he asked for an expression of their
views on various items OF legislation
affecting labor. Several of them un-
hesitatingly disagree with him in his
attitude with reference to foreign lab
orers employed on the Isthmus of
Panama. The position taken by the
American Federation of Labor is that
the eight-hour day should be extended
to the isthmian canal zone. Several
of the Indiana congressman have writ
ten to Mr.. Gompers that they believe
in an eight-hour day for American
labor but are opposed to establishing
eight hours as the rule for the canal
zone because the Iaborers employed
there are not Americans as rule and
cannot do as much work in two hours
as an American workingman can do
in one.

recently made by the moulders that
they be granted an increase from
$3.50 to $500 per day.
William Hughes, a prominent Off

through his efforts that the demand
on the local concerns was made. At
the present time the Richmond City

Demand Has Been Made.
An Off cial in the local moulders' un.
ion stated yesterday that the demand
for an increased day rate, had been
asked by the local union but that up
to the present time no answer had
been made to the unions demand.
Il do not think that the factories ef-
fected will consent to a forty cent in

a compromise will be effected"
He was asked If the factories re-
fused to consent to the increase I'm

whether there would be a strike. He
replied that that was matter which
would have to be decided upon later.
Manner Of Settlement.
Under the present method OF, set
Ting differences between the mould
ers union and the manufacturers
concerns, the point in contention is
retired to the Foundrymens' Asso-
citation which appoints disintereste-
ed committee to investigate and de-
eide.
According to the local moulders the
day scale in Richmond is lower than
in any other city in this section OF
the country. In all the Richmond
foundries some of the men are EN-,
ployed on piece work, which of course
nets higher daily wage than the day
scale, but the majority of moulders
are on the day scale. None of the man.

statement as to what will be done,

position to settle the contention ami

Syracuse, N. Y, May 10.-Replying

the Syracuse Herald, headed "An
Amazing Blunder," which condemned
the Standard Oils attitude on the

DRUG TRUST GETS
IN ITS WORK HERE
One Richmond Druggist Had
to Pay $500 for Selling
Under Trust Price.
STATEMENT BY DRUGGISTS
LOCAL DEALERS ADMIT THAT
THE PRICES ARE HIGH BUT
SAY THE ORGANIZATION is NOT
ILLEGAL.

Following the plan of the other re-
tail druggists of the state, the drug
dealers of this city, enter a general
denial of the trust charge and compare
their organization to that of labor
union, where the men demand a GER
tain amount and receive it or strike.
They say that the question of a man
ufacturer providing the amount for
which his product shall sell has been
settled before in the courts and cite a
case in this city.
The Afford Drug Co, is known as
cut rate drug store and as such, the
proprietor finds it difficult to buy GER
tain patent medicines. The Afford
company signed contract to sell
Miles Nervine at the prescribed
amount, 81 per bottle. They had
stock of this medicine on hand and
wishing to sell it out, cut the price
to ninety cents. This was carried to
the headquarters of the Miles Co., and
they ordered an investigation. Find
ing that Afford had not lived up to the
contract all drug men must sign bCt
fore they can handle Miles goods,
they threatened to bring suit. The
law was consulted and the case was
finally settled out of court by Afford
paying fine of nearly 5000.
Rules Were Iron Clad.
This is one of many cases, E. H. ALI
son, Affords clerk says. If the AL
ford Company had not signed the con-
tract they say that they could not
have bought the medicine and there
fore could not have sold it at any
price. If they had managed to buy it
from some wholesale dealer, who had
signed a contract not to sell it to a
cut rate dealer, the wholesale dealer
would have been fined or placed on
the blacklist.
In large cities, where the drug ring
could not get a complete list of the
druggists to sign contracts, the price
of one dollar medicine is placed low
er, or at eighty-five or ninety cents a
bottle. This is done in order that
those in the ring can compete with
the cut rate dealers. There is only
one cut rate store in this city, and for
that reason the maximum price was
retained by most dealers.
c. A. Harrison, proprietor of the
Westcott Pharmacy, stated that he
signed the contract to sell at a given
price, because if he did not, he could
not get the medicines which his custo-
mrs demand. Mr.. Harrison is a mem
Der of the National Association of Re-
tainl Druggists. against which the
trust charges have been filed. He
says that the question is one that has
been settled before.

United Presbyterian Church to
Feel Further the Gener-
osity of D. G. Reid.
SECURES NUSBAUM HOME
STATED ON GOOD AUTHORITY
THAT GIFT WILL BE ANNOUNC-
ED ON DEDICATION SUNDAY
IMPROVEMENTS BEING MADE.

AS surprise to the congregation
of the United Presbyterian church, il
is understood upon excellent authori
ty that Daniel G. Reid, who erected
the beautiful new church edifice which
is to be dedicated next Sunday, has
purchased from Lee B. Nusbaum, the
home Of the latter, just north of the
church, and will turn it over on Sun
day next, to Rev. S. r. Lyons, the pas
tor, for a church parsonage.
Mr.. Reid has held an option on the
property, which is one of the hand
soonest residences on the street, for
some time. Mr.. Nusbaum set his
price on his home and now, it is prac
tically certain that Mr.. Reid will make
an additional gift of a parsonage to
the congre cation.
Beautifying the Place.
Several improvements, which beau.
tify the house and lawn, are being
made preparatory to dedication Sun
day. Cement steps have been built
leading from the side door of the Nus
baum home to the pastors study in
the church building, and the lawn is
being resodded with terraces graded
to even with those at the church. The
exterior of the house being of stone, it
is probable that no house could have
been found anywhere in the neighbor-
hood that would harmonic SO well
with the church itself.

That secret agents are employed to
watch oil shipments made by the in

That agents are compelled to draw
three brands all of supposedly diff
ferent quality, from the same tank
and sell them at different prices.
