Keller's Face TWitChes Con-
vulsiveIy When He Ap-
pears in Court.
DATE is SET FOR TRIAL
MAN ACCUSED OF KILLING WILL
LIAM THORNTON WILL BE
GIVEN TRIAL NOVEMBER 10
SPECIAL vENIRE ORDERED.

Sherman Keller, colored, was not
greatly affected when he faced the
court this morning and entered a plea
of not guilty to the charge of murder
in the first degree. Kellers case has
been set for trial November 16 A
special venire has bean ordered for
the petit jury. The negro is charged
with the murder of William Thorn
ton, also colored. October II.
1t is expected Keller will enter a
story of self defense. He has admitted
the shooting, but claims he was at
tackled by Thornton The two men
met in the presence of Mrs. Thornton
about IL O'Clock the night of the sew.
enteenth on Ft. Wayne avenue Bad
because of the attention Keller had
been paying to Mrs. Thornton Be-
fore his death Thornton stated Keller
shot him without warning Three
shots were fired, two of which entered
the abdomen and the third grazed
Thornton chin. The manner in
which the sleeve of Thornton's coat
was scorched indicated his arm was
raised before his face for the purpose
of protection and that the revolver
had been so close as to set the cloth
afire.
Keller tells a story about meeting
Thornton and the latter attacking him
and shooting at him. He says then
he drew his revolver and shot to pro.
tect his life. He saw Thornton fall
and then ran to make his escape. Kel.
Ter was arrested two days later at
Westville, o.
The wounds received by Thornton
proved fatal The police and coroner
were unable TO find any revolver in
the mans clothing and none was found
any place about the scene of the
shooting. The police claim the fact
that no weapon of Thornton's could be
found discredits the story of Keller
turn.
When he faced the judge this morn
ing. keller's face twitched convulsive
ly. His lips appeared dry and he
moistened them constantly with his
tongue. Otherwise he gave no indica
ton of being under any nervous ten
sion.

CITY REFUSES
TO COMPROMISE
South First Street Improve
ment Case May Go to
Supreme Court.
HOT WORDS EXCHANGED
SOME MEMBERS OF COUNCIL
WANT TO GIVE CITYS MONEY
AWAY-DEUkER GETS ANGRY.


bers of the city council who want to
give the city's money away remark
ed City Attorney T ). Study in his
choicest sarcastic manner last evening
after Councilman Deuker at a joint
conference of the council and the board
Of public works, had argued for a COM
promise with the Starr Piano Company
and the Farnham Company over the
South First street improvement case.
Red with anger, Mr.. Deuker sprang
to his feet and remarked that he was
not now. nor never had been, anxious
to spend the city's money needlessly,
but that he had always believed in Civ
ing the business concerns of this city
rs square a deal as extended to indi-
viduals
After the question of the proposed
compromise had been argued pro and
con by City Attorney Study, Messrs.
Johnson, O'Neal and Staubach, of the
board; John F. Robbins and Henry U.
Johnson, respectively, attorneys for
the Starr Piano Company and the es-
tate of John H. Schneider the contrac-
tor who made the improvement. and
council. the gentleman from the Fifth
ward" Mr.. Leftwich. arose and made
a motion to the effect that 1t was the
sense of council that it take the ad-
vice offered by City Attorney Study
and refuse to agree to a compromise.
Councilman Bartel thought this put
ting it too strong and he made mo-
tion to amend the resolution to read
that the city attorneys advice should
not be taken provided the assessment
against the Starr Piano Company was
regarded as too high. After some talk
this amendment was voted down. to
4, the councilmen voting for the
Won Pein and Ogborn.
Mr.. Leltwich's original amendment
was then brought up for consideration
and adopted by unanimous vote.
Precedent Barred.
Council having turned down the
compromise proposition it will now be
up to the Starr Piano Company to car
ry out the threat made by Attorney
Robbins to take the Improvement case
to the supreme court, where it will
probably hang fire for the next two
years. In the meantime the Schneider
heirs will have to wait for the city to
make it's settlement for the work. Sc
far as known. this is the first time the
city has ever imposed a hardship or
any contractor handling municipal
work. Whether it will have the ef
feet of making contractors little shy
on accepting municipal work in the
future remains to be seen.
Mr.. Study last evening Influenced
council to sustain him, by arguing the
improvement was made on the petition
of the Starr Piano Company and il
alone was benefited by the improve
ment He said that if the city estab
lished a precedent for compromising
improvement assessments, large guam
titles of trouble was in store for coun.
Gil. because improvements were con
stantly being made.

ployed? In the first place it should 10

ready. The hours OF labor have been
reduced from sunrise and sunset 10
ten and then to eight hours; Chinese
immigration has been stopped, as al.
so the importation of contract labor;

advanced. That Is worth while We

is progressing excellently. The mi.
tiative and referendum once secured Il
will form an effective means toward
other reforms.

Its Methods and It's Goal.

THE trade union enables the fair ON.
pioyer-who. like the fair unionist,
predominates--to estimate his labor
on living basis This system is a
good deal preferable to figuring on
what his unfair competitor can pro-
cure his cheapest help for. Not only
that. but II Is a protection FOR the mcr.
chant. II enables the trade unionist
TO live as becomes an American citi.
zen. and has a powerful influence in
procuring fair compensation for the in
dividual whose conscience will not
permit him to join any combination in
this free (?) competitive age. Again
tho union headquarters act as q clear
ing house for the employer. 1t is con-
vcnient 10 send there for additional
help.
The trade union IL not hawless by
any means. II is n good deal easier
60 tear down than to build up, but the
latter course applied with intelligence
to the labor movement will overcome
many Of its deficiencies. The gains
are greater than the losses. While the
dominant trait of human nature is
selfshncss, just so long will we find
both sides endeavoring to get the best
OF the industrial situation. The trade
union has come to stay II Is n natural

Is STRONG APPEAL
BRYAN's SPEECH MASTERPIECE
OF LOGIC.
Fully and ForclbIy Democratic Leader
Points Out Why His Party Should
Be Given Control Of Ma
tlon's Destinies.

Mr.. II yan carries big stick, too,
But II lie speaks softly, he also
speaks forcefully and logically. His
clear advantage over his Republican
opponent was manifested in various
ways In his speech Of acceptance
First of all. he Is in complete accord
with his party and its platform. Re
licyed Of all necessity OF apolugiaing
or explaining, and of all occasion for
simplifying, he was able to dismiss di.
rect discussion OF the principles to
which the Denver convention happily
committed the party. by saying: Il
indorso It in whole and in part, and
shall. II elected, regard its dcclara'
tons as binding upon me"
II Is. Of course, Mr. Bryan's good
fortune that his party has no recent
record. and more good fortune that its
record that Is not recent is not an
embarrassing one. But he took no
advantage OF that. He evidenced much
more than the negative virtues of n
critic. He undertook, by exposing tho
cant and nubdub of the Republican
record, TO emphasize the necessity for
the exposition of antithetical qualities
by the Democrats If they are to regain
and retain the respect and support OF
the people
Specifically Mr.. Bryan pointed out
that the known abuses" referred to

speaker, instead of a delbcratiye body
