CROWS ON CAPITAL BUILDINGS.
iIIomened Birds Have Their Regular

A venerable crow, "as black as any
crow can be-" which made its nest
for several years in one of the tall
trees in the Capitol park. Washington,

its accustomed haunts. is said TO have

the pedestrians on the busting streets

This particular postoffice crow met
tragic fate last year. however, and
since that time there has been no.
ticeable scarcity of that breed of birds
on the big gray building. Formerly
the old crow had many visitors, espe.
cially during the early morning and
sunset hours. but his death at the

Moslems Welcome the Auto.

There arrived at Bagdad the other
day the first postal automobile and 1t
filled the minds of the natives with
wonder and awe. The car carried the
mails, hitherto borne on camels' backs,
from Aleppo, distance of G25 miles,
in 60 hours. This can hardly be called
a speed record, but when it is re-
membered that the roads are rough
camel tracks leading through the deep
sands of the Syrian desert and the
stony plains of Mesopotamia the jour
ney at the rate OF little more than
ten miles an hour appears quite a
creditable performance. The Moslems

Jacob Thompson, secretary of the In
terror under Buchanan, who, for his
alleged peculations of government
funds, sought refuge in Egypt, where
he died soon after his flight from his
native land. Another distinguished
occupant OF the house was Capt
Henry A. Wise, who became famous
as a naval commander, and who mar

Since those days the old house has
lost its splendor, and the halls that
once resounded to the music of the
dance and the rhythm of slippered
feet have become the nesting place
for spiders and the abiding place OF
dust and shadows.

do what they believe to be the best
thing at elections. This was taken as
an intimation that the members will be
advised fully as to how they should
vote, but the action on their part will
be as individuals.
Split In Union Ranks.
While 1t is not admitted that this
is the case. yet there are persons who
believe that the fact that here was a
division in the ranks OF the labor lead
ers during the session is to some ex-
tent responsible for the decision not
to take political action. The officers
and legislative representatives of the
State Federation of Labor sought TO
have certain laws enacted and other
bills killed. Then there was Fred A.
Feick, of Garrett. legislative repre-
sentative of the Brotherhood Of Rail-
way Trainmen, who also had a large
following and who did not favor all
of the things that the rest of the labor
leaders were asking for. 1t is a fact,
shown by the records of the session,
that Feick and his followers came
nearer to getting all they were after
than did the other crowd.
The Out CASTS.
The legislative committee of the
Brotherhood Of Railway Trainmen has
issued its list of members OF the leg
islature who are recommended for de-
feat If they ever come out again for
office. IN the list are these senators:
W. r. Wood. Lafayette; w. E. Spring
er, Elizabethtown; J. W. Orndorf,
Churubusco; Ezra Matingly, Washing
ton; Ralph Kane, Noblesville; Linton
A. Cox, indianapolis. The following
members of the house are recon-
mended for the shelf; John N. Beaver,
Indianapolis, a member of the Order of
Railway Conductors: l. B. Clore,
Franklin; c. E. Mass, Indianapolis; J.
NJ. Smith, Portland; Louis ]. Stephens.

TIMES BUREAU
AT STATE CAPITOL.

AT STATE CAPITOL.
indianapolis. Ind, March 26.-Lead-
ers of organized labor say 1t is not
likely that the plan proposed some time
ago to have the labor organizations
nominate tickets and get into the next
campaign will be carried out They
have studied the plan over and have
concluded that organized labor, as a
body, has no business in politics, and
they propose to leave 1t to the indi-
vidual members to take such political
action as they see At.
Soon after the session of the legis-
lature closed 1t was given out that Ia
Dor was SO thoroughly displeased and
disappointed with what was done by
that body that 1t would nominate can
didates of its own and take a hand in
the campaigns henceforth. Particular
wrath was shown against some of the
members of the senate and the house
and it was the announced determine
ton of the labor leaders to get their
scalps If possible.
I'VE may not be strong enough to
elect anyone" said one of the most
prominent Of the leaders of organized
labor. but we will be fully able to de-
feat some one"
Labor Not to Form a Party.
Tt was stated that a new party
would be organized and that it would
make its first appearance in the In
dianapolis city campaign this year 1t
was the intention to show the strength
of organized labor in this city in order
that the state party leader might see
what kind of a force labor is in poll
tics. After that the party was to go
into state politics and nominate candi-
dates for state offices and for the leg
islature just the same as all other
patries.
But it is announced now that this
plan will be abandoned. Edgar A
Perkins, of this city. president of the
State Federation of Labor, said yester-
day. that organized labor will not form
a party to go into politics Perkins
says the state federation has no place
in politics as body, but that the
thousands of members will. of course.
