RID CITY OF VICE
CRY OF NEW ORLEANS
Pulpit, Press and Bench Join
In Campaign to Restore
Morality.
WICKEDEST IN AMERICA.

New Orleans, Jan. 13-The moral
awakening of New Orleans has ar
rived. The pulpit, press and bench
in campaign have aroused what is
now roundly declared the wickedest
city in America"
The issue has been made" Shall
the city of New Orleans become a de-
cent city or shall it continue to be,
as it has been in the past, the mecca
of gamblers, and all the evils that us
ually sfOllow in their wake?"
The leaders in the fight for a social
cleaning up of the city declare that
the time has come when New Orleans
will be swept of the elements that
have made her a moral plague spot in
the United States.
| The newspapers have taken up the
battle for a cleaner city, both morally
and physically.
! New Orleans has more than once
been the center of an upheaval OF
public sentiment against the negroes
against the saloons, against the gamb
! ling resorts, against the race-trachs
and against the levee resorts. Al
ways, however, the force of puritica
ton has been spent before any actua
reform was accomplished

MARION STRIKERS GAIN RECRUIT
Conductor Quits Post and Joins Rank
Of Union Men.

Marion. Ind. Jan. 13.-The striking
street car men yesterday gained re-
eruit when Wood Harold, a conductor
OH North Marion car, quit work and
declared his intention to espouse the
cause of the strikers. The strikers
claim that there will be further addi-
tions to their ranks, but B. f, Parker,
local superintendent of the Union Trac-
ton lines. declares that all of the pres
ent men employed will continue at
work.
Because of rumor to the effect that
there would be violence at Gas City
last night, twenty deputy sheriffs pa
trolled the streets of the town until the
last car had completed its trip. The
rumor was evidently not we'll founded
for there was no disturbance of any
kind. Governor Hanly had been mott
fed by some one of the probability OF
trouble and he telegraphed the sheriff
to swear in a sufficient number of dep
uties to preserve the peace Of the town
and protect property.

COMPLETE REST
FOR THE KAISER
Will Take Southern Cruise for
Health.

Berlin, Jan. 13.-It is now practical
ly admitted by the government that
it is necessary for the Kaiser to leave
Berlin in search of health and
strength, although it is said that it is
nothing more serious than the neces-
sity of taking a complete rest.
On February q the imperial yacht
HohenZollern will leave Kiel and start
for the Mediterranean but 1t has not
yet been decided whether the Kaiser
and the imperial family will be on
board or whether they will be picked
up in southern port. At any rate,
they will spend about three weeks
cruising in the Mediterranean and to-
ward the end of March they will take
up their residence in the beautiful Viii
la Achilleion on the Island of Corfu,
which will be ready to receive them.

$4,000 While the City It,

MARTIAL LAW TO BE
DECLARED AT AN END.
Governor HanIy Will Take This
Action Within Course of a

indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 13.-That the
pensive in Indianas history is the
opinion of Col. Harry B. Smith, com
ana National guard, who has just re-
turned from Muncie, where he was in
command of the provisional regiment
under Maj Gen. w. J. Mckee. The
evacuation of Muncie by all the state
troops except five companies up to yes
terday made it necessary that regi-
mental officer and his staff should re.
main longer
Col. Smith says that the strike riots
so far have cost the state at least So
coo per day, and as there have already
been eight days Of martial law and oc-
cupation at Muncie by the military the
riots will cost Indiana tax payers at
leastaS16,OOO. In addition to this the
500 deputies maintained by Sheriff
Pcrdieu cost the citizens Of Muncic
and Delaware county $1,000 per day.
Each deputy will receive pay, under
the law, at the rate of 81 per day. The
total cost of the strike. including tinan-
lcial loss to the Indiana Union Traction
company. will amount to something
like $4,000.
1T is only question of a day or two
now" said Col. Smith, yesterday, ''un-
til Governor Hanly will issue his proc
lamation declaring martial law in
Muncie at an end. The moral effect
of the occupation of Muncie by the
troops was marked. 1t took that to
teach them a lesson. The tax payers
there are beginning to realize that the
lawlessness is goin to cost them some
thing. The behavior of the troops
was of the highest order. | talked
with members of the Commercial club
and other leading citizens and they
were highly pleased with the conduct
of the soldiers.
