had come around explanations were
made and the incident closed without
any further unpleasantness, The man
agement had 70 give up $50 for the hat.

1t was officially stated at l o'clock
saturday morning that the river Seine
In Paris was stationery and that It's
tributaries continued to fall. The sit
uation greatly improved between l
and 2 o'clock Saturday morning. This
in part is attributed to the change In
the weather, which suddenly cleared.
The temperature also dropped and the
wind veered to the eastward.
The water has begun to fall in all
of the affuents OF the Seine o
Paris, but through the city it Is clog
ged by bridges and the immense ac-
emulation Of drift. and the seething
waters hourly are spreading oven new
areas.
Saturday night the city presented a
weird spectacle. The soldiers, sail

constructing temporary walls by the
light Of comfires and torches, in an
endeavor to keep out the invading
floods. while pickets patroled those
sections of the city which are plunged
ir darkness.

touched by the expressions of sympa-
thy which have been received from
abroad. King Victor Emmanuel and

GUILTY OF ASSAULT.
Woman Convicted of ~Nsistr"atinS a To-
Ncar-Old Child.

At a recent term of state circuit
court in TCdmonds county an unusual
case was tried, that of Thirza NJ. Bar
ker, indicted on the charge OF assault
and battery IN the person of a chlld,
aged 10. The evidence submitted to
the jury tended to show barbarous
treatment of the child, who is a niece
of the defendant and who was living
in the family of the defendant from
the time of the death of its mother.
Witnesses testified to numerous at
lacks made by Mrs. Barker on the
child. The evidence showed that the
accused woman is of high temper and
wonder was expressed that she had
not permanently injured her little
niece as the result of her attacks. At
ter being out a short time the jury re-
turned a verdict finding the defend
ant guilty of the charges made against
her.

BOOKED FOR FRAUD.
Chicago Grand Jury Indicts Min City
Officials,

Paul Redieski, resigned deputy com
missioner of pubic works, Michael II,
McGovern, wealthy contractor who
has had many big city contracts. and
nine city officials and employees of
McGovern were indicted by the grand
jury in Chicago Thursday.
The men are charged with conspir-
acy to defraud the city Of $254,000, ac-
cording the sum mentioned in the true
bill.
The Indictment on this charge came
as a complete surprise, as it was be-
lieved the alleged frauds involved only
about $4,000 in the so-called shell
rock" scandal. The men indicted be-
sides Redieski and McGovern were:
Otto Niehoff, secretary to McGovern;
Max Landguth, former superintend-
ent for McGovern; George Moore,
foreman for McGovern; Ralph Bon
nell, resigned assistant city engineer;
John G. Parks, assistant city engineer;
Robert Green, a foreman for Mccoy
ern; Richard Burk, John McNicholas
and Joseph Maher, city inspectors in
the engineers department.
The indicted men are specifically ac-
cused OF conspiring to defraud the city
by laying only one-sixth of the con-
crete and brick work called for in the
contract for the construction of sec
ton N Of the Lawrence venue tun-
mel.
Evidence concerning the alleged
1927, 900 fraud OF which the indict-
ment was based was not brought out
by the commission. In the indictment
the men are charged with trying to OBJ
tain nine warrants for the payment OF
s254,0O0 by the city of Chicago.
Redieske displayed little emotion
when he was told hehad been indicted,
and later furnished the 5000 900 bono
required from him. McGovern was al
so held in $40, 900 bonds.

left the rails, but he was caught be-
tween the engine and tender and
crushed. None of the coaches left the
track, though the trucks of several OF

swINDLE MAY BE UNCOVERED.
Insurance Companies Are Believed to
Have Been Robbed.


II believe thisi investigation now I'M
der way will unearth the biggest swim
die in the insurance line ever exposed
west of New York. said State Insur-
ance Commissioned Bell, of Kentucky,
Thursday, as he tool up the case Of
Walter e. Rider, of Louisville, a team
ster, who died January 4 and whose
coroner on the request of certain in
surance companies.
The death certificate indicated that
Rider died of intestinal trouble, but it
is reported hat the autopsy, which
began today, showed a large portion OF
the lung eaten away, supposedly by
tuberculosis.
Commissioner Bell has taken up the
case on the request of life insurance
who are said to be large losers by rea-
son of grave yard swindles."
These companies. which it is alleged
nave already paid $4,000 on policies
issued in the Rider case, are excluded
from business in this state, yet. it is
said, have carried on a large business
in Kentucky through an agency at
Albany, Ind, across the river from
Louisville.
The scheme worked on the compa-
MES issuing the policy to men virtual
ly in the shadow Of the grave after
having examined a man of athletic
build who was represented as the APP
plicant.

spreading from city to city and IS be-
ing hailed with enthusiasm.
More than $4,000 heads Of families
representing fully 100, 900 indlvid
uals) in Cleveland. Ohio. have sisne4N
an agreement not to eat meat for thir
ty days. Ar immediate result has been
the closing of several meat markets
and a reduction in the price Of meat
especially pork and veal. The Strike"
is spreading to Akron, Toledo and 9th.
er nearby cities. Meat orders in Cleve-
land restaurants have fallen off fully
80 per cent. Union workmen in Omaha
to the number of over 5000 have
agreed to eat no meat for thirty days,
and 1t is expected the number will
reach $4,000. In Pittsburg the Iron
City Trades Council has asked more
than 1900, 900 working people in that
and nearby communities to abstain
from meat for sixty days. Three hun
dred families in Naugatucll and Phoe
nix, Conn, have joined 4 boycott
against butter.
The assertion made by the packerf
that the high price Of meat is due to
scarcity of cattle does not seem to b
borne out by the facts. A. d.. Melvin

which show hat more cattle, calVe'

Grating in speed, the strike of the in
dignant against the out

grows as each day passes. What the
