Mercury Rises to the Freezing Point
This Afternoon.

Generally fair with rising tempera-
ture is the prediction of the weather
man for tonight and Friday. Today
has been such as to bring joy after the
last two weeks of cold weather and To-
cal weather sharks are inclined to think
that a little more pleasant weather
will not result. From a minimum of s
degrees at o'clock this morning the
mercury has mounted to 81 degrees at
o'clock. It really seems warmer than
this because of the colder weather
which has prevailed during the last
ten days. The wind, at o'clock was
blowing 10 miles from the south and the
weather man thinks perhaps the good
work is destined to last awhile. Fol-
lowing are the hourly temperatures to-

"W. j. RICKENBACHER.

One of the important addresses of
the convention was Americas World
Responsibility" by ]. Campbell White.
general secretary of the laymens
movement. AS the press representa-
tive of the movement Mr.. Hungerford
said Topeka got one of the strongest
programs which has as yet been car
ried out. The convention was fortu
nate indeed in securing Mr.. White as
a speaker as he had not been with the
corps of speakers for some time. Mr..
White has devoted 20 years to Chris
tian work, his field of operations hav-
ing been varied, including India where
he worked under the auspices of the
Y. NJ. c. A.
A story is told of Mr.. White as hap
pening in Wyoming. There was an old
German residing in that portion of the
country who could not himself read,
nor could he find a man in the district
in which he resided who was sufficient
ly familiar with the German language
to read his letters from the 'old coun-
| try for him
When this white haired man from
the Rhine found that Mr.. White could
interpret a Letter which he had re-
ceived for him he was delighted. When
he caught the first few words of the
letter, he hushed up and clapped his
hands over Mr. Whites ears. The lat
ter getting away from the Dutchman's s
grasp, asked the reason for his action.
! Why" replied the old man. dat let

want to know you vat she had to told

Mr.. Whites Address.
In addition to all the Christian work
that needs to be done among ninety
millions of people in this country. the
churches OF America have about six
hundred millions of people dependent
upon them in the non Christian world, y
said Mr. White. This is not a guess.
! but the result of careful investigation.
How shall we discharge our share of
religious responsibility for mankind ?

LABOR LEG|SLS1|ON TO GET
SOME ATTENTION THIS TIME
We want something

that is meant We want something
more than that.
Another bill that 1 believe would be
good is one to create a sort of
museum in connection with the state
labor bureau. In this museum 1 would
have ALI kinds of safety appliances on
exhibition. Whenever a new safety
appliance is brought out and placed on
the market l would have the manufac-
turer place a sample in this museum
where 1t could be inspected and studied
by employees as well as by the factory
owners. Many factory owners do not
know there is in existence many of the
very best safety appliances. If they
were brought to their attention many
| of the owners would adopt them in
| their factories, thus adding to the safe
| ty of their employees.
such an exhibit would also be a
| good thing for the factory inspectors.
| They could familiarize themselves with
| the new safety appliances which would
| be placed in the museum and when they
go out to inspect a factory they would
! have in their mind an appliance which

ton which they might find. Thus they

| owners of factories that would be valu-
able.
The state factory inspector and his
deputies ought to be authorized by law

disputes, just the labor commission
ers now intervene. In this way they
1 would be labor commissioners as well
as factory inspectors, and it would all
be under one head and in one depart
ment and it would be much better for
the public and much more satisfactory
to the employer as we'll is to the en-
ployes all over the state

that a strong effort will be made tc

sad coincidence in connection with
Mrs. Straits death was that it occurred
on her nth birthday. The decedent
had been ailing with an abscess for
some time and had returned not long
ago from Hahneman hospital in Chi
cago. where she experienced some re-
lief. but her vitality had been at low
ebb. though her manner was just as
cheerful as ever. She was universally
beloved and those near her mourn her
with keenest suffering. The remains

legislation seems bound to occupy much
time and attention at the hands of the
next legislature. according to present
indications. Already there is talk of
number of bills which will be intro
duced at the request of labor. Sew
eral members of labor organizations
were elected to the last legislature
and they are framing up bills which
they believe will pass.
John ]. Keegan of Marion county is
one of the new representatives. He is
the president of the Machinists union
of this city and has ben an information
al officer in that organization. He is
prominent in the labor movement and
was nominated by the democrats large
ly for that reason. He is a brilliant
young man who will make his influence
felt in the session. Keegan has some
ideas of his own in regard to the kind
of legislation which labor will insist
on.
One of his first bills. he says, will be
one to abolish the state labor commits
sion and to combine the duties of that
office with those of the state factory
inspector He would also give the fac
tory inspector additional powers which
he says, would make that official one
that could do something for the factory
owner as we'll for the employee.

Joke" said Keegan. TT does no good
for anyone, because 1t has no power
and no one ever pays any attention tc

which would abolish the commission
and then make the state factory in

PEG IS BURNED
TO DEATH TO-DAY

The charred remains of a familiar
Gary character, known as Peg" were
found this morning at seven o'clock in
box car loaded with baled hay in
the Lake Shore yards and to which the
fire department had been summoned to
extinguish a fire. Peg" was dead.
His pipe the mute evidence of how the
fire started was not far away from the
cripple
The body has been taken to Ken
nedy's morgue. where an inquest will
be held. Hobbling around on his cork
leg. and holding out mis- packages of
needles and shotstrings, Peg was a
familiar figure in the business district
of Gary. The world was not over kind
to Peg. Probably he was not over
kind to himself. But he didn't want to
beg and SO he sold shoe strings. Peg
had no regular sleeping quarters. The
bed which he left in the morning may
have passed through two or thee s,ai.-
by night fall, for the box car was
Pegs favorite haunt so that he would
not have to go to the police station
Little is known about him. There
probably wasn't another person in Gary
outside of Peg" himself who knew
where he slep last night. This morn
ing he would appear the street.
again and nobody would question wher'
he had spent the night. Judging from
the circumstances in which he wa.
found, Peg" evidently broke the sea
of the box and climbed in. He mus
have smoked before he stretched hi
weary limbs. Probably he went t.
sleep with the pipe in his mouth. An,
rate the baled hay burned slowly an,
this morning smoke was seen emanat
ing from the car.
