INDIANAPOLIS, May Paul H. Green,
a travelling salesman for a Chicago shoe
house, is held on the charge OF murderin g
his son Newell, II years old

his fathers home early this morning after
neighbors had been aroused by four pistol
shots. The Greens. although they heard
the reports. say they did not go out to in
vestigate. Tho boys hat twas found in
the house. Mrs. Green said she had picked
il up on the porch.
According to Green mis- son came to the
house before daylight and when the father
came to the door in answer to his knock
the son asked him il he intended TO send
him to a sta mmering school He replied
that il was a strange question TO ask at
such a time of night. lust then. he says
he saw that his son had a revolver in his
hand Green says the lad fired one shot
at him and he closed the door and dropped
to the floor, where he lay till the other three
shots were fred.
Then, he says. he went upstairs and went
to bed and thought no more of it till he was
later awakened by neighbors who had
found the boy in the yard with a bullet in
his cheek and another in his brain.
The father says that his son committed
suicide after firing two shots at him, and

HOTEL PORTERS COMPLAIN
Want Their UnlOn TO Help Them Keep All
the Tips They Get.

the Tips They Get.
The Hotel Porters Protective Union has
decided TO make n stand against dividing
the tips with the head porters. The head
porter engages the porters.
The porters say they are not going TO
strike, but they are going to get the unions
to exert their influence in curbing the pro-
pensity Of the head porters to exact part
Of the tips. In pursuance Of this plan a
delegate from the union spoke at yester-
days meeting Of the Central Federated
Union. He did not give his name for publi-
cation. saying that he would be blacklisted
IL he did. He finally handed a written
statement tu the secretary on behalf Of his
organization. which was read.
II said that being forced TO give part Of
their tips TO the head porter as a condition
Of remaining at work was degrading and
dcmoralizing to h men and detrimental
to the best interests of the hotels. Men
with families, it said, could not support
them on the wages, which we're placed at
such a low figure that they are expected
to take tips in order to exc them out. But
the head porter was always g%rasping for
part Of them, and il was only the moral
pressure Of the union and the voice OF
united labor that could stop him.
The statement was referred 10 the cSecu-
tive committee.

In williamsburg After n Week OF Trouble
General Manager G.. W. Gerbrecht Of the
Havemeyer Sugar Refining works in Will
iamsburg met a committee representing
the 200 striking employees Of the refinery
Yesterday afternoon and arranged a COM
promise by which the men returned TO
work before night.
A week ago to-day the 200 suddenly
struck. demanding is cents an hour instead
OF the l43 cents and IS cents that had been
paid them. The demand was refused. The
strikers were %non-union men, but they or
ganized themselves and began to make
trouble for the strike breakers-4OO or more
that the company brought in on tugboats.
There we're several pitched battles, where
heads were broken and faces battered,
and the police had a tough time for a week
preserving the semblance Of peace.
Saturday John Lundrigan and NJ. j..
Reagan Of the bureau OF mediation and
arbitration Of the State Labor Depart
ment invited the general manager and the
strikers representatives to get together.
The result was a compromise by which the
men agreed to go bach at 1917 cents an hour,
every striker to get his old job back and
every strik ebreaker to he fired.

NO ONE COULD TELL
WHO FIRED THE SHOT
Marvin Walker, Charged With Shoot
ing L. Kennedy, Is Released
From Custody.

Marvin Walker of Ensey, charged with
the murder of l.. Kennedy on the night
of December %, was given a preliminary
trial before Justice of the Peace w. S.
Russell in the circuit court yesterday
and was discharged from custody.
The evidence in the case showed that
on the night in question party of young
men, which included Walker and Ken
nedy, was deputized to effect the arrest
of certain negroes in Wylam. Upon the
approach of the deputies the negroes scat
tered and several shots were fired, but
by whom is unknown Kennedy. was shot
and subsequently died, but before his
death he said that Walker shot him. Wit
nesses testified that Walker did no shoot
ing that night, that his revoyer was fully
loaded when examined, and bore no trace
of having been recently fired. The evil
dence further showed that Kennedy was
shot in the back, from which fact the
Judge inferred that Kennedy could not
have seen or known who shot him.
After hearing all the evidence Judge
Russell concluded there was not suffi-
cient to hold the defendant and ordered
his release.

COMMITTEE TAKES
LOOK into PRISONS
WILL PROBABLY RECOMMEND.
THAT THE SOUTHSlDE JAIL BE
Observation-Disclosures JAIL is
NOT so BAD.

Following the instructions of the City
mittee began its investigation of the city
prisoners yesterday morning. Mayor
Ward who is a member of this, as all
other committees of the council, assisted
in the investigation. DR.. Oscar Hayes
whose report for 1906 brought about the
investigation, was on hand. The commit
tee was accompanied by several newspa-
per reporters.
The northside prison was first inspected.
The conditions of that prison were found
fairly good, although numerous defects
were pointed out. The Jail is too small.
It is not provided with means whereby
the sexes and the colors can be kept
separated The inside" is presided over
by a stevedore, who is himself a con-
victed prisoner. There is no means by
which the warden can prevent cruelty,
robbery and pillage within the enclosure
of the pail The walls are not secure
enough to guarantee that prisoners cam
not escape when they feel so disposed.
In the southside prison, however, the
committee was brought face to face with
d
shown that the hunks wherein the pris
oners sleep are made of boards, and
that the sleepers are furnished with blan-
kets, about one to every two men. The
prisoners are compelled to sleep three
to a bunk in cold weather to prevent
freezing The blankets are infested with
vermin of all kinds and descriptions The
place wherein the prisoners are expected
to battle is a trough. The sanitation is
bad The ventilation is poor. 1t was shown
that the prisoners are not furnished
change of clothing. and that they often
go for a year without changing. When
ever bath is taken, the prisoner without
drying his body, puts on his clothes, and
goes to sleep. The committee stated that
the conditions were terrible.
The investigation will be continued to-
day and report is expected at the
next meeting of the council. 1t is said
that the committee will recommend the
abolition of the southside prison.
