INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. April IL
The anguish of the dumb foreign
ers bruised and slain in the mills
of the steel trusts model made
to order city of Gary-the Magic
city" they call it-may start fight
of the people of Indiana against a
billion dollars.
Representatives of labor unions
told Gov. Marshall that the steel
trust which has declared for the
open shop closes it's doors pretty
tight on those that are MANNED
while grinding out it's profits.
The American Federation of La
Dor charges that the trust is estab-
fishing slavery in northwestern In
diana. 1t pays low wages for long
hours over the molten steel Out
of their pittance the workmen are
compelled to pay high rents to the
trust, which controls the real estate
business. They buy necessities in
shops controlled by the great cor
poration. Their children are de-
prived of educational opportunities
so that they will not awake to the
slavery in which their parents live.
The trust gets what remains of

SHORT
HSHAVINCS

People on Riverside avenue a
few days ago wondered at the
strength of a man in an electric
automobile. His electric apparent
ly had been disabled, and he was
In tow of a big steamer. But, in
stead of having the towline fast
ened to the axle, he held it In his
left hand while he steered his car
with his right.
At the corner of Post street the
steamer turned the corner, but the
electric kept going straight ahead,
Then the crowd saw the joke; the
towline was all a bluff.
A short time ago Jones, as we
will call him, asked Smith, as we
will call his friend to come out TO
his house. Jones' wife was out of
town and he was lonesome. Smith
was on hand early. He carried in
his pocket cetain articles. While
Jones was in another room, Smith
dropped his mysterious articles be-
hind the davenport
Jones, wife returned in few
days. Behind the davenport she
found the articles that Smith had
dropped. Among them there was a
woman's handkerchief, a pair of
wOman'S gloves, and some other
things.
When Jones arrived home from
work, his wife assailed him. He
could not explain; he could only
profess ignorance. Finally he
thought him of Smith. He called
him by telephone and told him to
come right over to his house.
Smith confessed. His confession
averted divorce proceeding.

NOT AN ANAN|AS
BUT A CLUB Of
STORY TELLER

WASHINGTON, April 1.-Wash-
ington society's newest fad is a
story telling club. Mrs. Nicholas
Iongworth-the formEr Alice
Roosevelt-is one of the prime
movers. 1t has been the intention
to organize at meeting at the
Longworth residence next week,
but this arrangement has been can
celled owing to the approaching de-
parture of the Longworths for
Europe.
This club is planned as an
adjunct to the Playhouse club. soon
to develope entertainers. Without
officers or directors. the club will
gather at the residences of its
members at intervals and hold
talk tests" At the end of sea-
son the best stories will be com
bined in a little souvenir volume
for private circulation. A stenog-
rapher will attend all the sessions.

important SOCIAL
HYGIENE MEETING

To the parents of the children
attending the Bancroft school:
There will be a meeting on Tues
day night at 7:45 p. m, at the
Bancroft school, for the parents of
the children attending this school,
and any other adults of the COM
munity who may wish to attend
but no children.
This meeting has been called by
the Spokane Society of Social and
Moral Hygiene, an organization
whose work is approved by the
board of education. This society
was organized over a year ago. and
is one of number of similar so
cieties in various cities throughout
the country, all formed for the pur-
pose of disseminating sexual knowl-
edge, with a view of Graduating
or lessening the evils which result
from ignorance of such matters.
Education of any sort has to do
with the younger generation, and
while this society is doing WORN
among the adults, yet it also be-
lieves in work Of education
among the children, that a proper
knowledge may be impaired to
them as they grow up. The best
method of doing this remains yet
to be determined, but as present
it seems that it can be done best
through the parents. Adopting the
plan of similar organizations in New
York, Philadelphia and Chicago,
this society has published a set
of seven circulars, dealing with the
subjects above mentioned. Very
truly yours, Committee of Educa-
ton, j. G. HARRISON, chairman;
Bruce NJ. Watson. w. S. Gilbert,
Frank Human, NJ. NJ. Higley.

LONDON, April 11.-If the
steamer lusitania, on her way
to New York today, should
reach her berth on Thursday,
according to schedule, John @.
Russ of Muskegon, Mich, will
have succeeded in travelling
1000 miles In IA days.
Russ left Muskegon March
20 on two hours notice. At
Grand Rapids he caught fast
train for New York and sailed
on the Lusitania next day.
During his four days stay in
London he grabbed a bunch of
machinery contracts and
caught the Lusitania on her re-
turn trip.
BY something of a real effort
he achieved the unusual record
OF making the employees of a
large London firm work night

HALLEY'S COMET
A GOOD THING
FOR OLD SINNERS

To the Editor: ] have read in
The Press that there is little or
no chance of Halley's comet doing
any damage to the earth or its in
habitants. You have told us that
scientists were unanimous, practi-
cally. in declaring that the comet
will have no harmful effect upon
us.
Now, why make 1t so clear that
the comets coming does not pre-
sage the end of the world?
Don't you know that there are
lots of old, time-hardened sinners
out in this neck of the woods who
never would get down upon their
knees and beg the Almighty's for
giveness until the approach of Hal
ley's comet was heralded as pos
sible coming of the end?
Why not let them think so?
1t does me good to see an old
reprobate who hasn't done any
thing but lie and swindle all his
life. rush down to the mourner's
bench and beg for the saving of
the soul that he never admitted
having before the comet was
sighted.
People are paying up their
debts; hardened faces are assum-
ing again their intended express
sion, and the church membership
is growing.
1t certainly isn't going to hurt
some of the people in Spokane to
THINK that Halley's comet is GO
ing to knock us into smithereens
Many need stimulant of that
kind for their religious and moral
welfare.
Please leave just shade OF
doubt for the sole benefit of those
old sinners.

Representative Wiley of New Jer-
sey shows that 100000 germs of
several dozen breeds were found
on one 81 bill. That seems to show
it is prudent to burn all the old
currency taken in at the treasury
and to issue new paper for it,
which is what he is trying to have

Yellow fever, smallpox, diph-

many other vigorously pesky
germs were found.
All, but how about the silver

Nothing doing. Clean as a whis-

quitOes. Healthy and salubrious.
The texture of the coins seems

MAN ALLEGED TO HAVE TRIED
TO DYNAMITE HIS WIFE

Smoke has repeatedly implored her
to return to him, but she refused.
According to Mrs. Smoke, her hus-
band had frequently threatened
her life.
That neither Mrs. Smoke or Mrs.
Piper was seriously injured by the
explosion seems miraculous. The
floor was torn to pieces and the
bed on which the two women were
sleeping was thrown into the air
and the iron twisted into a shape
less mass. Both women were stun
ned but sustained no serious in

Tracy gave his occupation as a

the man did not seem to be very i'll

pension for this delinquency.
There was some talk of expelling
Schmitz when the graft expose
came out, but on investigation It
was learned that failure to pay
dues had placed Schmitz beyond
further action by the union.
1t is possible the ex-mayor will
again take up his profession as a
musician. At one time he was
leading violinist in Old Columbia
