players, youthful ones. stripped naked,
their clothing heaped in the jackpot on
the table. The police refused to give
out their names.
These two young men had been
steady losers in the game, but at last
they got good hands at the same time.
So did the winners of the evening. The
two losers soon parted with what lit
tie money they had left. and then one
started the real fun by casting his
necktie into the pot. This was the
cue. Collars. shoes, coats, trousers.

COMPLETES MASS
As CHURCH BURNS
Presence of Mind of Hartford
Priest Prevents Panic
in a Church.

Hartford City. Ind. March 11.--With
the basement of the church in flames
and conscious that an alarm would
throw the congregation, largely COM
posed of women and children. into Il
panic, Father John +. Keller complet-
ed the funeral services over the body
of Stephen Dwyer yesterday at the
Catholic church and dismissed the AT
PENDANTS as the fire department ar
rived at the church, None of the at
PENDANTS knew of the fire situation
nor realized how coolheaded the
priest was in emptying the church.
Among the attendants were many
little children of the parochial schools.
some of whom were singing in the
choir in the gallary at the rear OF the
church. Had he first sounded an al
arm, the narrow stairway leading to
the gallery might have been fire
trap for the children.
Father Keller scented the smoke
when about half through the celebra-
ton of the mass. An inviolable rule
makes it impossible for priest to in.

the congregation to leave. Father KEEL
ley completed the services and hur-
riedly dismissed the attendants.
Fought Fire In Basement.
The body was removed to the hearse
and then Father Keller asked one
member of the congregation to assist
him, and they went into the basement
and fought the flames near the FUR
mace until the fire department arrived.
A wooden air duct leading to the fur
mace had caught fire and was burning
fiercely The interior of the church
was soon filled with smoke, and the
frescoes and statuary were damaged.
The loss is fully covered by insurance.
While Father Keller was fighting
the fire in the basement the funeral
cortage remained at the side of the
church, and it was some time before
it moved to the cemetery.
Father Keller disclaims credit for
his GOODNESS and presence of mind in
preventing panic. However, as he
showed no mental stress or excite
ment, the firemen say he decerves
praise.

but also by far the greater part of
the raw material required by the in
dustry. Through it's domination of
leading transportation lines it even
controls some of it's most important
customers and prevents opposition
from that source.
"If the tobacco trust opposes the
farmers they can hold back their crop
AS they have done-until reasonable
prices can be obtained. If the meat
packers treat the cattle growers I'M
justly it is within the bounds of posi-
bility for the latter to slaughter their
own animals and if necessary, to get
into direct relations with consumers
Those great packing plants in which
millions of dollars have been invested
would be valueless heaps of junk in
the face of the combined opposition of
the producer and the consumer. But
price of wire nails or any other of it's
products, three hundred per cent, the
public is helpless because the trust
controls the sources of supply and die
tates to the few independent manufac-
turers by the threat to cut off their
supply of raw material
There is another point on which it
will be interesting to obtain light. 1t
is significant that while there have
been federal proceedings against the
Oil trust, the tobacco trust, the meat
packers and the lumber interests, the
hands of the department of justice
seem to be paralyzed whenever they
approach any of the interests dominat-
ed by the supreme leader of Wall
street, the Steel Trust, which seems to
the ordinary man a combination in
restraint of trade as surely as the
Northern Securities company ever was
bluffed the Roosevelt administration
out of any action by virtual threat
to precipitate destructive panic. So
far it has escaped attention from the
present administration. 1t will be
worth while to undertake the propos-
ed inquiry, if only to show that our
government is not Morganized, as our
industries to a great extent have been
Morganized"

NOT APPRECIATED

Shoals, Ind, March 11.-When John
NJ. Cherfick. farmer living near
town, entered his henhouse this morn
ing. he found that one nest was occu-
pied by a hen and skunk. The hen
had been sitting for some time and the
skunk evidently entered during the
night and crawled into the nest with
the hen. The hen had moved over to
one side of the nest and had succeeded
in placing all but four eggs under her.
These four were missing, and it is sup.

invader was promptly killed and the
hen resumed her sedentary occupation.

SEVENTY-FIVE HENS
PRODUCE TWO EGGS

Shelbyville. Ind. March 11.-Mrs.
Bert Stafford. living south of the city,
is the owner of seventy-five big fat
hens. but it is doubtful whether any of
these fowls will ever set the world
on fire" when it comes to laying eggs.
A day or two ago Mrs. Stafford heard
an unusual noise in the chicken yard
and. thinking that something out of
the ordinary was the matter( went to
the henhouse. where part of the dis
turbance was being created. To her
surprise she saw an egg in each of
two nests. This was unusual as they
were the first eggs the seventy-five
hens had produced in the last six
months.

INVESTIGATION OF
THE STEEL TRUST
Democratic Leaders Determ-

ley Resolution.
palladium Specially

Washington, March 11.-That one of
the first measures to be pushed
through by the Democratic majority in
the house of representatives at the
next session Of congress will be the
resolution for the investigation of the
United States Steel Corporation, to de-
termine whether it is combination in
violation of the antitrust law, was the
statement made today by Representa-.
tive Stanley of Kentucky, author of
the resolution. who has been canvass
ing sentiment among the members
elect on this subject. The proposed in
vestigation was strongly urged at the
session just closed but the resolution
authorizing it was finally pigeon holed
in the rules committee of which Rep
resentative Dalzell of Pittsburg was
chairman The minority members OF
the committee. including Speaker.
elect Champ Clark, were all commit
ted to the measure and other Demo
cratic leaders are in favor of pushing
the resolution through as early as pos
sible. Not only is the resolution fav.
ored on its merits but it is believed
that it will provide valuable material
for use in the next presidential cam
paign.
What Stanley Says.
THE attitude of the members of the
Democratic majority, and also OF
many of the so-called insurgents who
favor this measure" said Representa-.
tive Stanley today, is that the Steel
Trust is one of the most dangerous
combinations OF capital in existence
because it controls not only the manu-
featuring side of the steel industry
