crime, that he had used the drug
in an experimental way on a num-
ber of Indians in camp near this
city. He would put the little tab
lets in beer, which he gave to the
redskins and watched the effect.
Pierce admits that the drug
worked to perfection on the Indians
and that it was his intention to use
it upon drunks here in the city.
Since Pierce himself has Indian
blood in his veins, his association
with the natives is readily account.

CONSIDER RESOLUTIONS

Gentle methods by which the
railroads Of the northwest have for
years sandbagoed the merchants
of the Inland Emplre'were told this
morning at the meeting Of the In
land Empire implement and Hard
ware association.
: 1t was not in the matter of ex-
orbitant freight charges that the
complaint was filed, but in the ex-
action of charges in excess of the
tariff sheets, overweights, over
charges of all kind and petty exac-
tions that cut into the pOcketbOOks
of the victims.
The matter came up on report
of the committee on resolutions in
favor of the creation of a rate
checking bureau to take up and
audit the freight bills of members
and compel the railroads to dis
gorge in instances wherein they
had taken the money of their
clients where it did not belong to
them.
The whole morning was spent in
the discussion, which took place
behind closed doors, and an ad-
journment was taken until this aft
ernoon with the matter unsettled.
1t Is probable that bureau along
the; lines suggested by the commit
tee will be created.
The hardware men will complete
their work this afternoon and will
be the guests of the jobbers at a
banquet at $50 this evening at the
chamber of commerce. After the
banquet the visitors will attend the

KNOCKS OUT ENGINEER WHO
WAS BADLY INJURED AT
MARSHALL.

Albert Wells, the engineer who
was injured in a boiler explosion
at Marshall on May 20, 1909, while
working for Wastak & Chew, rail-
road contractors, was non-suited
this morning by Judge w. A.
Huneke, the court holding that the
evidence plainly showed that the
accident was due to the negligence
of the plaintiff.
II think the time Is coming when
men who are injured while in the
employ of another will secure
something for accidents of these
kinds" stated Judge Huneke to the
jury, but the present law prevents
man from recovering when an ac-
cident is due to his own negligence.
and the evidence in this case con-
vinces me that the plaintiff was at
fault"
Wells sued the contractors for
$4,000.

When Robt. Mccormick, aged IS,

But because Robert was only a

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 21.-Plans

pose of taking from the president
the power to appoint national or.

The amendment also provides
that organizers shall not leave their
work to attend conventions. AL
though the regulars believe the
amendments will be tabled, the
younger members hope to pass
them, obtaining the support of dele
gates opposed to the payment of a
salary and expenses to organizers
in attendance at the convention.
Regarding the coal mine situa

addition to demand for a 10 per
