salaries of county commissioners in
particular counties when Senator Elem
ings bill for raising the salaries of

bill which would raise the salaries of
the county commissioners of Marion
county from $4,000 to $4,000 a year
each. As soon as the bill had been
read, Senator Crumpacker rushed for

would give the commissioners of st.
Joseph and yigo counties a salary of
$1,000 a year each.
Hold on" said Senator Gavit, OF
Lake county, when the lieutenant gov
ernor was about to call for vote, i
have an amendment. too," Senator
Gavit's amendment was to change the
bill in such a way that the commits
ceive the amount to be given to the
commissioners of Allen county-$2,4O0
a year. Senator Gavit said the COM
missioners of Lake county were the
hardest working" commissioners in
the state, and received only $500 year
each AS there was some confusion as
to the wording of the amendments
Senator Jennings request that action
on the bill be deferred until later was
granted.

ONE LEGGED BURGLAR
TRAPPED IN {. CHICAGO
Leo Travis of South Chicago
Starts Out on the Wrong
Road Young.

East Chicago, Jan. 25.-Leo Travis of
South Chicago. aged nineteen and with
one leg gone. was arrested yesterday
Afternoon on the charge of burglary.
Mrs. J. Ulass of 34I4 Deodar street,
whose house he is said to have entered,
was responsible for the arrest
She was down in the yard back of
the premises she occupies and noticed
Travis descending the stairs. AS there
are several families in the upper part
of the building, she gave little thought
to the incident until a few minutes
later she went upstairs and found her
rooms in great disorder The bureau
drawers were upset and their contests
strewn about the floors and search
for her valuables revealed watch and
four rings valued at s25 missing
Mrs. Ulass Immediately suspected the
one legged youth she had noticed de-
ed up the police. She told of her sus-
picions and described the one-legged
man with the result that Sergeant
Frank Barker arrested him at D. m.
at the corner of Bloc and Waiting
street. Two of the missing rings were
found on his person and he also had
some money which the police believe
he obtained by the sale of the other
trinkets.
Travis was brought to the East Chi
caeo police station where his trial will
take place before Judge Walter-J Riley
during the day.

when entatives of the Associated
Building Trades Council of this dis
trict actively took up the cudgel in
behalf of the plasters, who have joined
the district council since the beginning
of the labor trouble.
May Call Individual Strikes.
This morning the district council
submitted no agreements to the in
dividual contractors. it will not deal
with them collectively, and for those
who do not sign a strike viii be called.
This latest move of the council is not
one of sympathy for the Collins-Mc-
Nulty faction and the four unions asso-
ciated with them.
I'VE have maintained a neutral stand
in the troubles between them and the
employers association" said James
Nedjl of Whiting. president the
state bricklayers and the bricklayers
OF Lake and Porter counties.
PIasterers Get New Aid.
Originally the plasterers were asso-
ciated with the Collins-McNulty union
and they walked out without submit
ting to the arbitration agreement ex-
listing between the union and the en-
ployers' association.
After this the plasterers Joined the
district council, which gave them the
support of that body
Before the plasterers had bad lead
ership and were lily advised, and be-
cause they made q mistake is no reason
why the employers should not over
look it," said a council official this
morning.
The district council now wants the
employers association to arbitrate with
the plasterers. This the latter has re-
do he stated NOW
the district council refuses to treat
with the association but it stands reay
for arbitration with either Judge Reiter
of Hammond or Judge Tuthill of Michi-
gan City as it's member on the medita-
ton board.
Individual contractors who do not
sign the new arbitration agreement
will be subjected to having their car
penters, bricklayers. cement finishers.

clare that II necessary Lake and Port

Chesterton, Gary, Tolleston, Hobart,
Indiana HarbOr, East 1nscagO, Ham,

to sustain the associated building

take.
AS the situation now stands the lat
est move may possibly involve the Gary

have worked along side with the nom
union men taking the place of the FIVE

Dicken' $ Masterpiece.

The Tale of Two Cities, " one of the
best motion picture reels ever made,
was presented here Tuesday and We'd
nesday nights at the Gem to large au-
diences. The reel comes in three parts,
the first showing DIR. Manette's impris-
onment in dungeon, where he was
kept in solitary confinement for twenty
years; the second, Sidney Cartons in
genious plan to prevent the conviction
Of Charley Darnay, the release of DR..
Manette and Darnay's marriage to
Lucy; the third. Darnay in the hands
of the revolutionists OF Paris and the
sacrifice of Carton. This work is unlike
any other Of Dickens novels. 1t is a
story Of the French Revolution, and the
great agnostic, Bob Ingersoll, said in
this Dickens had achieved the greatest
work of all fiction. The reel exhibits
the action of the story in life-like
manner. The pictures are sharp in
every detail and stand out in striking
resemblance to the story. 1t is worth
seeing.

The Southern railroads will be doing
the South a valuable service in this
united effort toward making its attrac-

country. At the same time they will
be doing good for themselves. It is
somewhat remarkable that they have
not done something Of the kind here
tofore The Western railroads are con
tinuous boosters for the Western coun-

ing policy is good thing from bust

Expressed by him as follows;
The treasurer would not honor this,
and has written the Beckman Company
that the same cannot be paid until the
appropriation bill has been passed by
the Legislature.
Treasurer Taylor states that is very
embarrassing for him to refuse to pay
the accounts against the various ipsti-
buttons Of the State, but as the consti-
tuition and the law prohibits the pay
ment unless an appropriation bill has
been passed, this win be his policy"
