LIGHT FINE
FOR BURTON
Newsboy Who Mixed With
Percy Parry Gets Nom
inal Punishment.
YOUTH IS CONSIDERED
As Assailant Is Mere Boy and Never
In Trouble Before, Judge
Is Lenient.

The details of a street fight in which
Percy A. Parry and Lewis Burton were
the principal figures, were rehearsed
this morning in the city court before
Judge Mcmahon with the result that
Burton was fined SIS for his part in
the fighting. Several witnesses were
placed upon the stand by both sides
but no one could statet hat he was pres
ent at the start of the fight or saw
the first part of it, but that they saw
the last blow which was delivered by
Burton as he stood in the street and
Parry on the sidewalk.
Parry was the first witness He
stated that he was met by the defend
ant In front of the Hammond build
ing and that he was accosted by Bur
ton. In the argument which followed,
he claimed that Burton struck him on
the nose as he was near the doorway
and that when went to the sidewalk
to find out the name of the boy who
had struck him, he was again as
saulted. He stated that the newsboy
had severely injured him in the fracas.
No One Sees 1t Begin.
Walter frost testified that he was
walking along the street and heard the
argument and saw the defendant back
from the doorway and as Parry ap-
preached saw the blow delivered. He
was unable to state the first conversa-
tion that took place. Other witnesses
told of seeing the last blow struck but
heard but little OF the conversation
that took place.
Burton on the stand said that he was
a newsboy and that he had been in
Hammond but few days prior to the
trouble. He said that he had never
seen Parry before the time of the row
and that Parry, who was standing in
the doorway, accosted him first and
asked him what he meant by saying
that he. (Burton,) was going to get
him." He replied that he did not even
4 know who his questioner was and that
Parry grabbed him by the arm and
called him vile name. He stated that
i he then struck Parry on the nose and
/ the latter followed him to the sidewalk.
as he thought to fight 1t out and that
| he struck him again.
| Judge Considers Tender Age.
/ Under cross-examination he testi-
fed that he was but 1s years OF age,
and had never been arrested before.
He stated that when Parry spoke of
having him arrested. he walked to the
police station with Parry.
Several witnesses for the defense al
so testified as TO hearing Parry ask
Burton whether he was going to get
/ him or not.
Judge Mcmahon in snmmiug up the
case said that he thought the newsboy
was guilty OF an assault but that II
was only a street fight and that as the
boy had not been arrested before he
would deal leniently with him. He was
then fined IS and costs which he paid.

Indianapolis, Ind, May 4.-Ruthless-
1y tramping on two or three thousand
feminine hearts that fairly quivered
and palpitated for love of him and his
million of ducats, Col. Jim Worth, the
millionaire Missourian, who ten days
ago thought that no woman was worth

tive state, Indiana, departed yesterday
without having selected a partner for
his future joys and sorrows.

Yes, I'm glad he is going" echoed
Henry Lawrence, proprietor of the
Claypool hotel Now we can settle
down to our usual routine and the
Claypool will become the dignified in
stitution it used to be-instead of a

Bellboys, telephone operators and
parlor maids breathed a sigh of relief
yesterday afternoon when the word was
passed around among the employees OF
the house that Col. Worth had depart
ed.
II wouldn't stay here another night

paid his bill. 1T seems to me that no
body in this town ever gets married

in Indianapolis of marriageable age
from the number of letters and tele-
phone calls that I have received. It's
a wonder some of the Indianapolis mer

Mizzoury where the women think
about something else than catching 6

INDUSTRIAL PEACE
RE|GNS THIS SPRING
Never Before Were Condi-
tions so Quiet at This
Season.

Indianapolis. Ind, May Al. P. Nc
Cormick, state labor commissioner.
said today. that never to his knowl-
edge had there been the industrial
peace in the state at large in the
spring before.
The conditions this spring are truly
remarkable continued Mr.. McCor-
mack. This is usually the time of the
year when the dissatisfaction among
the laborins men is greatest This is
the building period Of the year, and
usually all over the state in the viii
lagos as well as in the large city, there
are labor troubles of one sort or an
other. usually affecting the building
trades.
AT the present time. however, so
far as this commission knows. there
is no trouble OF any consequence in
any Of the cities and towns OF the
state, outside of Indianapolis. Not
only is this peaceful condition true as
to the building trades, but practically
all trades, so far as my information
goes. There may be local troubles in
one place or another. but they are not
sufficient to cause inquiry by this de-
partment These small local troubles
Will always be with us
Prosperity was the answer Mr.. Nc
Cormack made in assigning a reason
for the comparative industrial peace.
Prosperity enabled employers to pay
better wages.
Practically in every line has the
wage scale been increased. Take the
structural trades. for example Car
penters, ironworkers, painters. hod
carriers-practically every branch of
this trade. with perhaps the exception
of the bricklayers has had an increase
in wages. The scale is higher all
along the line.
with such conditions. there is no
occasion for strikes. lockouts and la
Dor troubles. Good wages obviate
strikes; plentiful orders obviate lock-
outs hence there is no occasion for
either"

"Jocko" Briggs, who was to appear
before Justice Smith of Dalton, H..
yesterday on a charge of holding up P.
Tomia in West Hammond five weeks
ago, did not show up for trial and
there was a crowd of disappointed
spectators.
August Arnold and wife, who went
on Briggs's bond for $500 Were present
and naturally were feeling worse than
anybody else when they saw that
tice Smith said he would be lenient
with Arnold and would give him one
week IN which TO recapture Briggs and
make him appear before him.
The police started an investigation
at once and 1T was learned that Briggs
was seen In Hammond about II o'clock

West Hammond, he will be arrested
and will then have to appear on two
charges. one of jumping his bond and
the other Of robbery. If he is ac-
quilted he will be ordered out of the
village and If he does not stay out,
we will do something that will COM
pei him to do so.

acquitted on a charge of numbering

took lessons in oratory and went out
through the country giving lectures on

Companions" He came to Hammond
and after giving few lectures at a
local theatre. he drifted into West
Hammond, ignoring his own preach
ments, he stayed around the dives and
since then has created no end of trouble

ing up and robbing p. Tomia, a laboreI
living in West Hammond, who is en-
pIoyed at the Standard Steel Car COM

to the police station Tomia positively
identified him as the man who had re
lieved him OF his money.
