NEWS OF HIGH SCHOOL
REV. CONRAD HUBER SPOKE
Principal ElIabarger Inaugurates Sys-
tenn which Greatly Helps in Making
Out Next TERMS Program-Lecture
by Prof. Davis.

Rev. Conrad Huber read the scrip
lures and gave a short talk to the
high school students in chapel yester-
day morning. His subject was taken
from the nineteenth Psalm, which he
read to the pupils.
Prof. Jones, teacher in the CONNER
cial course, was called to Detroit Fri
day, on account of the death of his
brother and as a result his classes
did not recite yesterday.
Prof Ellabarger has inaugurated a
new plan for the benefit of the juniors
and seniors. He has had cards print
ed with blanks for the names of stud
les taken this term and what studies
the pupil wishes to take next term.
This will greatly aid the work of max
ing out program for the term, as he
can then see what studies will be ia
ken and how to best avoid confusion
of classes. The seniors have two
electives next term, physiology and
commercial geography, both of which
seem to be in demand.
Prof. Davis gave an illustrated talk
to his American history class yester-
day on the subject they are now study
ing. These lectures are interesting
and helpful, as Prof. Davis has a very
fine set of lantern slides that give a
fine idea of conditions at that time.

THE SH.PP[RS BLAMED.
FIGURES GIVEN AS PROOF
Division Freight Agent McCabe
Shows How the Shortage Of Freight
Cars is Not Due Entirely to the
Railroad Companies.

While manufacturers all over the
state are crying against the apparent
car shortage on all of the railroads,
il is interesting to note that the great
er portion of the shortage in this state
is attributed TO the shippers and not
the railroads.
In speaking of the matter yester-
day, Guy McCabe, division freight
agent, said and produced figures TO
prove his assertions, that out of the
$4,000 cars controlled by Indiana
railroads for Indiana service, 6,07S
cars We're delayed over forty eight
hours, while the average delay in NOV
ing freight cars including box, Condo
la and coal, was la days. OF this
delay the railroads of the state We're
responsible for "a per cent while the
consignees were responsible for 120
per cent
In the United States the average de-
lay of 100000 freight cars is 1.S3
days of which the railroads are res
ponsible for SO per cent while the
consignees are responsible for 1888
per cent.

New York, jan 2S.-Prompt action
by court officers prevented several
Italians who were gathered in the
county court in Brooklyn this after
noon, from making an attack on Judge
Dixie, who had angered them by de-
claring that he would send any BLACK
Hand member brought TO him TO pris-
on for life. The Italians grew eXcit-
ed and started toward the bench, but
the court officers were prepared and

ing before any harm was done. In
cidentally the Italians were well
thumped by the officers who used
their billieS to good effect.
The trouble grew out of a sentence
inflicted on Giusep pe Aurchello, an
Italian, for assaulting his sixteen-year-
old sweetheart, Anna Parma, of 63S
Grand avenue. Brooklyn.
In pronouncing sentence of ten
years, Judge Dixie said:
Il am going to put a stop to these
criminal Italians and Black Hand So
cieties, if it can possibly be done. The
only way to eliminate them and bring
them to a stop is by giving them the
limit prescribed by law. | wish to say
now that if any member of this so
called Black Hand society or any one
supposed to be a member of such So
ciety, is brought before me for sem
tence, l will give them the limit-life
if | can
While the judge was making these
remarks, several Italians in the court
room, together with the prisoner, be-
gan to grumble angrily, and as Judge
Dixie concluded, they arose from their
seats and started toward him.
Instantly the court officers were in
action The prisoner was hustled
out of the room, while several court
officers made a rush for the oncom-
ing Italians, and before the latter real
lied what had happened, they found
themselvs in the corridor, and few
seconds later, in the street.
Only quick work prevented probable
violence. Aurchello, the prisoner. was

LEGAL FIGHT OVER
CHANGES IN Cleo
Mrs. Leslie Carter Wants All
the Bright Lines and the
Author Objects.
CASE GIVEN A HEARING
Mr.. ROYLE THE AUTHOR NOW
HAS A TEMPORARY iNJUNc-
TON AGAINST THE "STAR" AND
WANTS IT MADE PERMANENT.
Publishers P-essI

New York, Jan. 2S.-Judge Leven
tritt, in the supreme court today heard
argument and reserved decision or
the application of Wilder and Ander
son, counsel for Edward Milton
Royle, author and playwright, to
make permanent a temporary injunc
ton, restraining Mrs. Leslie Carter
and her manager, Charles Dillingham;
from producing the play Cleo
Mr.. Wilder declared that last Sep
TENDER Royle was engaged to write,
or rather revise. the old play Article
Forty Seven" as there was no time
to write new play in which Mrs. Car
ter might appear. The lawyer said
that the contract reserved 30 the
author the right to make any changes
or additions.
After several acts of the play had
been submitted, Mr. Royle discovered
that Mrs. Carter was making changes
and objections. He then wrote to Mr.
Dillingham;, calling his attention to
the contract, and told the manager
that Mrs. Carter was going to make
trouble for both author and manager
said Mr. Wilder "She wanted bright
lines that had been given to some
one else given to her, but this the
author refused to do. Mr. Royle re-
fused to torture the play in order to
give Mrs. Carter a stunt at the end
of the fourth act
Edward Lautyrbach, counsel for the
manager declared that the author de-
sired to change what was the key
note of the whole play.
Mrs. Carter" he said, did not con-
slider the play as written, but wanted
a play that should address itself to
the heart of her audiences. Shakes
peare is not now enacted as the auth
or wrote it."
The lawyer said that upward of
$4,000 had been expended on the play
and that it was to open in Buffalo
next Monday night. He wanted to
know if the injunction was made per-
what was to be the managers
relief, and he also declared that "a
womans artistic reputation will be
ruined"
