STRIKE ON At WHITING
Fifty Men Employed on
Street Construction Lay
Down Their Tools.

Whiting, Ind, June 11.-(SpeciaD-
Fifty men employed by the Cain con-
struction company at Whiting In build
ing the pavement on One Hundred and
Nineteenth street struck for higher
wages this morning. Up to noon today
no settlement had been reached, the
strikers having failed TO carry their
cause to the proper people i'm the COM
pany.
The strike was started by a few agi-
tators in the gang who laid down their
shovels and induced a few more to
follow their example. When the first
strikers thought they had enough pow
er they went to the balance of the
workers and forced them to quit which
the latter did.
The workinf men hired by the Cair
construction company were receiving
about Is cents an hour and working
nine hours. received s135 a day.
It Is more than likely that the Cair
construction company will make short
work of the strike as there are hun
dreds OF men waiting to labor at STA;

CARPENTERS CALLED OFF
Crown Point Experiencing
Labor War Between Car
penters and Painters.

Crown Point, Ind, June 11.-(Spe-
things lively in town yesterday when
the union carpenters were called off
the work, on the improvements on the
Frederick saloon building on the cor
ner of Main and Joliet streets. The
trouble harks back to the time of the
disagreement between the painters and
contractors, who were at that time in
the union, but owing to the contractors
or bosses refusing to sign the con-
tract embracing terms that they said
were detrimental to their interests and
refusing to meet the demands of the
painters, the matter of unionizing the
painters was given up and they went
back to work on the old terms.
Refuse to Work With Scabs.
1t was with some of these men that
the union carpenters refused to work
yesterday Much will depend on the
attitude of the contractors as to the
outcome of the difficulty, but from the
present outlook the matter is liable
to be contested for some time. In
speaking to a TIMES reporter last even
ing, prominent painting contractor
said:
AT no stage of the game have we
refused to pay the union scale, but
there are certain demands made upon
us in the union contract that were I'M
fair However, We were willing to
even sign that, had the painters been
willing to reciprocate and meet the
terms of a contract framed up by the
contractors to protect their own in
terests. The matter as it now stands
is whether the carpenter contractors
will side with US or compel us to meet
the demands of the union

VIRGINIA DEMOCRATS.

Roanoke. Va. June 11.-There were
strong indications at the opening of
the Democratic State convention here
today that the views of Senator Daniel
and other prominent party leaders
would prevail in the matter of sending
the delegates to the Denver convention
uninstructed. Senator'S Daniel and Mar
tin and Governor Swanson are slated
for places on the big four" The fourth
delegate at large probably will be eifh-
er former Governor Tyler or r. Tate
Irvine. Much interest centers in the
action that the convention may take
with regard to the primary system of
direct nomination. While many of the
party leaders favor the plan, others be-
lieve that it should be modified to
met certain objections and some de-
clare that it should be abolished alto
gether.

OH, my! But THEY
ARE FEARFULLY SHOCKED

sation last night by declaring that
James Bingham, Attorney General and
candidate for reelection on the Repub-
lican ticket. was indicted by a federal
grand jury in 1889 for election frauds,
tried and freed only by disagreement
on the part of the jury.
Jackson was one of the speakers at
the banquet given by the Jackson club
of Indiana University. His statement
was backed up by court readings in
which he cited pages and paragraphs.
The facts seemed to be new, having
been overlooked, it seems, two years
ago when Bingham was first a candi-
date:
John Kern, who is still talked of as
a running mate for Bryan, is out with
a statement predicting Democratic sue
cess next fall. He says the Democracy
is more united than at any TIME in a
dozen years and that the Republican
party is shot to pieces. The optimism
which characterizes Kern is dominant
in his latest utterances. Kern Is going
to Chicago next week to witness the
proceedings of the Republican con-
vention. He has special ticket from
his good friend Harry S. New, national
chairman.

pointments to one qualification.

in Favorid Agency and
is Arrested.

Indiana Harbor, June 11.-(Special.1
Robert Harianka, a Slav, is today
bordering over the folly of drunken
ness and disorderly conduct.
Yesterday afternoon Harianka went
into the foreign exchange office of
John R. Farovid & Co., in charge of
l. w. Saric, and began to abuse him
and use violent language. Mr.. Saric
stepped through the door connecting
his office and the real estate depart
ment, in charge of John A Carlson and
his assistant Miss Sigma Marine, and
Harianka followed them into the room.
He was very drunk and Carlson ordered
him out.
In the meantime Nick Meyer, a con-
stable, had stepped in and heard what
was said and after they had forced
Harianka outside undertook to place
him under arrest, but Harianka re-
fused to go without a warrant Ac-
cordingly Mr.. Saric went before Judge
Jones and procured the warrant and
gave it to officer Meyer, who served
1t on Harianka, who resisted arrest.
He was then taken before Judge George
Reiland fined $40 on two charges.

"MOXEY" WINS HIS GAME.

After a long session of languishing
and signing, 'tMoxey'' Manuel got his
first chance yesterday to pitch for those
Sox, and everybody was satisfied, ex-
cept the Athletics. The White Sox
wonder from New Orleans won a pitch
ing duel from the veteran Plank by the
uncomfortably close score of 8 to 2.
His brilliant trio of strikeouts in the
last inning Tuesday elected him.
'Moxey' was flanked by his Crescent
City teammate, Atz, who drove in the
tieing and clinching runs in the eighth.

ent when this delightful bit of by-play
occurred This put New Orleans back

JACK O'BRIEN WINS BOUT.

Philadelphia, Pa, June 10.-In six
round bout that was marked by fast
and vicious fighting Jack O'Brien best
ed Jack Blackburn tonight at the Ma
tional Athletic club.
In the first round O'Brien knocked
Blackburn down with a straight left.
In the third and fourth rounds Black
burn hit O'Brien low and apologized.
In the fourth and fifth rounds
O'Brien seemed to tire, but came back
strong in the sixth and had Blackburn
clinching to avoid stomach punches.
OBrien's blows had more steam than
did Blackburn's, but the latter put up
a game fight against odds in weight
and made a splendid showing.

Indianapolis, June 11.-Republican
leaders in this city are actually
shocked at the Taft methods of winning
the presidential nomination at Chicago.
They feel that the managers of the
Secretary's campaign are going too
far and that their manifest unfairness
may break up the party in this and
other states.
The Fairbanks people feel that they
haye not been given a square deal by
the exponent Of the square deal policy
and that members of the rank and file
throughout the State will resent at the
polls next November the machine tao
tics of the Ohioan and his administrat-
i've hackers.
Republicans here practically admit
now that the Vice President will have
I no show for the nomination. They
feel that the Taftites will grab every
thing in sight-both nominations and
the platform. The effect on the party
| in the State is now giving them the
most concern.
At headquarters yesterday the
thought was expressed that the Taft
managers, in their eagerness to grab
everything, may go so far as to antag
onize the convention One prominent
Republican said he would not be sur
prised to see the convention and the
whole country suddenly become dis
gusted and right about from Taft to
some other candidate.
| 1t was announced that Fairbanks will
remain in the fight till the last, that
he will not reconsider his determination
not to accept nomination for second
place on the ticket and that he will
not make any protest if he is de-
feated.
THE Vice President is game" said
one man close to Fairbanks, land will
not utter a single squeal if he is
licked So far he has not said a word
of complaint about the Taft tactics.
| Republicans feel that it will be mir
and tuck for Taft to carry Indiana
next fall. Dissatisfaction exists among
! the negroes and unionists. They feel
however, that Fairbanks will take the
stump for the Secretary and that he
will be able to line up recalcitrant
voters. 1t is thought too that Roose-
welt will make a swing round the
State and this. it is generally agreed
would do much good. The president
has a great hold on the farmers and
small business men.
1t is stated at headquarters that the
Indiana delegates will stand by Fair
banks even though it seem assured
| that he will have no possible chance
| of winning the nomination.

: Chairman, sprung something of sen.

Baton Rouge. La. June 10.-Betting
on horse races in Louisiana seems to
be nearing it's finish. Once more the
influence of Ed Corrigan and Louie
Celia is credited with giving the sport
a setback.
Not only did the lower house of rep
resentatives pass a stringent anti
betting bill today, but Governor Sand
ers also requested the legislature to
appoint a special committee which it
did, by naming nine to investigate the
reports that $50. 900 was being used
to influence certain members of the
senate for race track interests. He
also called special session of the
