Charles H. Mayer & Co. The bottles
were found accidentally and the men
had them all stored away. Whether

provides that persons are not allowed
to sell. receive or have in their posses
sion labeled bottles and are liable for a
fine of 81 on each bottle found in their
possession.

Highlands, Ind, June 21.-At a meet

last night the discussion of an eighty
foot boulevard along Ridge road was
gone into thoroughly and discussed.
This is the road proposed by Mrs.
Charles G. Wicker, who offered to give
a strip of land providing the plan met
with favor among the farmers. The
latter did not look with favor on the
plan. They were evidently sore on
autoists for several of them declared
they didn't want any boulevard, as the
autos cut the road up. 1t seemed to
be the opinion of the majority of those
present that they were not favorable
to the boulevard plan.

CALDWELL
GUILTY IS
VERDICT
Conspirator Accused of
Padding Indiana Steel Co.
Payrolls to go to Prison
Unless Supreme Court of
State InterveneS.

John Caldwell was this morning con-
yicted of the charge of being one of
several conspirators who defrauded the
Indiana Steel Co. of thousands of dol
lars by padding the pay rolls. Attor-
neys D. e Boone and Joseph Conroy
at once filed a motion for new trial.
Caldwell will be placed under S1,50o
bond pending the courts decision on
this motion. If a new trial is not
granted. under the new law Caldwell
will be admitted to bail until the
supreme court passes on the case.
The conviction of Caldwell followed
an all night session of the jury. The
Jury went out late in the afternoon and
did not arrive at agreement until
three o'clock this morning.
Probably the most important de-
velopment following the conviction of
Caldwell is the statement of Attorney
Cassius Greenley and Deputy Prosecut-
ing Attorney Ralph w. Ross that
prosecutions will be instituted against
a large number of others in the employ
of the company who are alleged to be
guilty OF the same practices
But the Beginning.
This is but the beginning of prose
cution of the same character against
a number of others who have not yet
been arrested" said Greenley. "and be-
fore we are through with this case we
will unearth some Irregularities of a
startling character.
Caldwell heard the verdict of the
jury without 7inching. He maintained
an outward calm throughout the en-
tire trial and even the verdict. by
which he was brought within the
