there are scores of honest, law-abid-

infamous record of the Labor Trust"

The poor woman and helpless chill

their case to the public. They must
suffer in silence, for they have no
way to right their wrongs, while the

These men can not thus force OPP

Therefore. with the craft of the fox
devise the union LABEL and tell the
public to buy only articles carrying

Smooth scheme, isn't it?
They extract a fee from every

If allowed full sway, no independ-

free factory, for the goods wouldn't
sell, no matter how perfectly they be
made. Then, when the factory has
been forced to close and the employ
ees get hungry enough from lack of
wages, the workers must supp1icate
the union leaders to be "allowed" to
pay their fines (for not becoming
members before) and pay their
monthly fees to the purse-fat man
ayers of the Labor Trust. Thereupon
(under orders) before the factory be
allowed to start they must force the
owners Of the business to put on the
union LABEL Or strike, picket the
works, and turn themselves into slug
gers and criminals towards the indie

Perhaps you have noticed lately
that the makers of the finest hats,

p. j. kieran, Missing President of the
Fidelity Funding Co., Surrenders
to Pittsburg Authorities.

Pittsburg, Pap. ]. Kieran, former
president of the Fidelity Funding
Co. of New York, who is held respon-
sible by many Catholic churches and
societies all over the country for the
loss of funds, and whose whereabouts
have been unknown to the public for
several months, came to Pittsburg on
Monday, surrendered himself to the
authorities, gave bond in two cases
pending against him here and left al
most Immediately for New York to
fight the bankruptcy proceedings
against him there. So quietly were
the proceedings conducted here that it
was late Monday night before the fact
that he had been here was made pub
lie and Kieran was then on his way
to New York.
Complaint was made against Kieran
on November 23 charging him with
larceny by bailee and the case was GER
| titled to the common pleas court In
this case Monday Kieran went before
Alderman John A. Fugacci and fur
nished bond for $4,000, the United
States Fidelity and Surety Co. going
on the bond.
The other charge here against
Kieran was made by Rev. A. Kazinsky,
pastor of Polish Catholic church at
Braddock. In it he is charged with
converting to his own use proceeds OF
notes given for life insurance
premiums amounting to $4,000. He
gave $4,000 bond in this case also. He
says he will turn over his personal as
sets, which amount to considerable
property, to the receiver for the Fidel

Kieran stated that he had been keep.
ing quiet as to his whereabouts since
the informations had been made here
against him because he had been
poorly advised as to the best method
to pursue and that he intends to make
reparation as far as he can.

TO URGE NEW INSURANCE LAW
Measure to Compel Insurance Com
panies to Give Proper State OFF,
cials Access to Books.

Columbus, O.-Insurance Commits
sioner Lemert has prepared a bill
for submission to the general as
sembly making it an offense for any
officer director or employe Of an in
surance company, fraternal beneficiary
association or assessment association
to destroy or falsify any of its books
or records or to refuse the fullest ac-
cess to its books to anyone authorized
by the insurance department to make
an investigation. The penalty is not
more than three years in the peniten-
tiary or less than one.
The preparation of the bill has been
called forth by the investigation into
the condition of the Ohio German Fire
Insurance Co. of Toledo, which
presented startling state of affairs.
There the officials not only refused to
give information, but seemed to hold
no fear of the law. 1t was found that
the only law under which those guilty
of the charges involved could be pun
ished was that covering perjury, and
this meant a long and tedious pro-
cedure.

LARGE LAND FRAUDS ALLEGED
$11o,ooo,ooo WORTH OF LANDS
WRoNGFULLY ACQUIRED.
Secretary Garfield Asks Appropriation
to Push Investigation and Bring
Guilty Ones to Punishment.

Washington, d. C.-Information of
startling character of alleged
wholesale and astounding frauds un-
der the public lands has come into the
possession of Secretary of the Interior
Garfield through special agents in the
field. The allegation is made that
100000 worth of lands in states
principally west of the Mississippi
river have been fraudulently acquired
within the past two years by corpora
tions and individuals.
With a view of recovering these
lands, Secretary Garfield on Monday
sent letters to Chairmen Hale and
Tawney of the senate and house ap-
preparation committees respectively,
asking for an additional appropriation
of $50O,OO0 which, if granted, with that
already asked for, will give the de-
partment $1,000,000 for that purpose.
The specific purpose of the appropria-
ton requested is for preventing dep.
relations upon public timber, protect
ing public lands. examining swamp
lands, etc" 1t is stated that there is
reasonable prospect of recovering
much of this alleged fraudulently ac-
| quired land if the appropriation is
promptly made. 1t also is pointed out
that while million dollars may seem
large, it is not per cent of the com.
mercial value of the land which the
government may hope to recover.
Secretary Garfield also submits q
statement of H. H. Schwartz, chief OF
the field service, showing over $4,000
distinct cases of alleged land frauds
demanding further investigation. The
number of such cases awaiting in
vestigation by states now pending is
as follows: Oregon 1852, California
and Nevada 1,4O9, Washington and
North Idaho 1926, Montana 3,605
Colorado S,621, Arizona 496, Wyoming

Missouri, Louisiana and Arkansas l,

Alabama and Mississippi 1850.
A summary of most of the larger
cases affected by charges of fraud oil
illegality, now pending, are submitted
but the details of Identification ant
names of parties are omitted, because
it is stated this would embarras'
further inquiry into such cases.

eunners Saint a Woman.

The festival of Saint Barbara. which
was celebrated the other day in Eu-
rope, recalls the singular fact that a
woman is the patron saint of artillery
men.
How this care about is thus ex-
planned:
Saint Barbara was the daughter of
a wealthy heather named Dioscurus,
who, in order to keep her from the
outside world, shut her up in tower.
Returning one day from a journey, he
found that, despite his precautions,
his daughter had become Christian.
He compelled her to appear before the
prefect, who, after much questioning
and exhorting, condemned her to
death by beheading. and her own ia
ther carried out the sentence. On his
way home he was struck by lightning
and his body was consumed.
In the course OF time this legend
caused Saint Barbara to come to be
regarded as the patron saint for pro
lection against thunderstorms and fire
and later, when artillery was invented
by some curious analogy. as the pm
tron OF artillerymen and miners.

Wheeler, state superintendent of the

dealers proposed amendment to the
Rose law is simply another way for
asking to have it repealed. To allow
each city to vote wet, disregarding the
county vote, would leave the temper
ance people exactly where they were
before the county local option bill was
passed. With over two-thirds of the
counties dry, the legislature will have
little difficulty determining the public
sentiment on this question. The peo'
pie are overwhelmingly against any

is the maximum rate of pension al
lowed under the act of February 6,
1907, for the age of rs years or over
and the law prohibits the payment of
two pensions to the same person for
the same period Of time. Therefore

be done, he should file an application

A kansas Niew

II wonder" said the man from
Kansas, on visit to New
York, why so many New York
people have the lean-to habit? It
makes them look queer. When in
motion their bodies lean backward
or forward or sideways like an ami
mated inclined plane, and when they
are in repose they flop still worse.
mo matter where you stop to talk
to New York man he is bound to
lean against something. In stores he
leans against counters, in saloons he
braces himself against the bar, in ho-
tells the pillars and chairs contribute
to his support, in restaurants he
leans on the table, and in the street
against the walls of projecting build
ings. And the women are just as
bad as the men. Nobody seems to
have spunk enough to stand up
straight.
Perhaps the people here are tired.
or it may be that they are seeking a
graceful pose. At any rate they flop
on all occasions. The proprietors of
some of the shops evidently depre-
cate the universal tendency to lean
against something and wish to dis
courage it, for they have distributed
signs about the stores warning Gus
toners not to lean on the counters,
but far as / can see these notices
are only a bluff. At any rate New
Workers don't heed them; they keep
on leaning just the same"
