Are Tied Up Because Of
Walk Out.

Building work on the various McClay
contracts in Hammond, East Chicago
and Gary remained at standstill today
because of the walkout of union car
penters. bricklayers and laborers who
were called out this week by their
business agents on the ground that J. H.
McClay's subcontractor Ingwa1d Moe. is
employing non-union men on the Given
building in Gary. 1t is probable that a
settlement between the contractors and
the unions will have been reached by
next Monday.
E. E. Cole. business agent for the car
penters' union in Hammond said to a
TIMES reporter this morning. that the
men had not yet gone back to work, aud
that no settlement had been reached.
Work on the various buildings that ]
have under contract will be resumed
next Monday" said ]. Fl. McClay this
morning. That work must go on, and
Ill have the men to do with

WILL CLOUD
THE ISSUE
OF COURSE
Defense Will Assert That
That Alleged Mistreat-
ment of Little Girl Is a
Plot Against Union Labor
Organizations.

The trial Of James Ffnneran, former
ly an officer of the electricians union In
Hammond. on the charge of mistreating
a young girl last summer will come up
Monday morning before Judge Gridley
of the criminal court in Chicago.
The state will be represented by
Deputy States Attorney Edward Day
and Attorney John +. Reilly of Ham
mond. The defense will be represented
by John Hopkins of Chicago.
Considerable publicity was given tn
arrest and indictment. There was con-
siderable feeling aroused over the fact
that the young girl whom he is alleged
to have mistreated was in charge of the
sisters at ST. Margaret's hospital at the
time
AS a result the whole Catholic con-
gregation in Hammond is interested in
it closely. 1t is understood the state
has been gathering evidence in the case
ever since the arrest was made.
The defense. on the other hand. is
said to have spent over $1,000 to employ
detectives who have been gathering
evidence to prove its contention that
the arrest of Finneran was merely an
attempt on the part of the contractor s
association to discredit him.
| 1t is said that an attempt will be
made to inolve the case with the union
labor troubles that have beset the cleo
trical workers in this locality.

LOOK FOR
CONDITION
TO IMPROVE

President George Eder of the Citizens
German National bank stated today
that in his opinion conditions over the
entire Calumet region would improve
materially in the next six months
There Is an unprecedented demand
for money in this locality" said Mr.
Eder." and I can interpret it only as
being an indication that confidence has
been restored and that the people are
willing to put their money into the ex-
tension Of their business or into new
enterprises.
If the people have confidence and are
willing to go ahead with the develop
ment of the region there is sure to be
local prosperity. The present tightness IS
of the money market is due to the fact
that this is crop moving time and a
great deal of money Is absorbed in this
manner. However. this period is about
past and the money market should ease
up materially In the next few weeks

OLD CHINESE ROLLS FOUND
Thousands OF Manuscripts on SILK
Discovered In Grottos.

Paul Pelliot, the young French ex-
plorer of Chinese Turkestan, found in
caverns at Tuan-H uang silk rolls which
are Chinese manuscripts, some of them
embroidered by artists who seem to
have stepped out of 1.-THE Arabian
Nights" These rolls have been i'm
INJURED in these grottos for nine hundred
years, and when deciphered and
translated will tell the story of a
civilization that fourished over a
thousand years ago and is dead.
The explorer brought back five thou
sand roofs; but as there are five hun
dred grottos, he believes many more
libraries will be found.
In the last few years archaeologists
at work in the Mediterranean island of
Crete have unearthed ruins and pottery
which prove that civilized people in
habited Greece as far back as the year
$500 B. C. The system of drainage in
the prehistoric city of Gnossus, in
Crete, is more sanitary than any found
in any historic age anywhere on earth
until the nineteenth century.
The life of the human race upon this
planet is being traced further and
further back. The earliest known
civilization is being found to have been
preceded by one still earlier. One
curtain of the past appraised reveals
another curtain which the scientists
are certain conceals still more secrets.

Little Fernando Metz Runs Before
Motor Car.

Fernando Metz, aged seven and small
for his years, took his shiny stick
after dinner Sunday afternoon and
stood on the stoop of his home at No.
3o5l Atlantic avenue, Brooklyn. A few
boys were playing inthe street but none
of them had shiny stick.
Fernando watched his companions a
while, then his eye fell on a bright tin
can just in front of his own door.
He walked up hit it with the stick and
sent it whizzing down the road toward
the junction of Shepherd avenue
Good wallop," shouted one of the
boys. '.Betcher can't knock it back
with:one crack.
In thrice Fernando was after the
can. He was dashing up to it when an
automobile, driven by its owner,
Thomas D. Carpenter of No. rs Herki-
mer street, slid around the corner.
Just as it1turned, Fernando, with his
eyes on the can, ran directly in front of
the machine and it passed over him.
The lad never uttered cry, but Car
penter felt the impact, brought the car
to a sudden stop, and was at the boys
side in an instant. With the help of
Harry Mayne of No. 397 Linwood
street, passer by, he lifted the little
chap into-the car and put on all speed
for the Bradford Street Hospital.
When.he arrived there DIR. Campbell
said that the child had been killed in

nue. station heard of the accident and
