WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-Complain.

ing the most of the Mcnamara after
math to crush union labor. President
Samuel Gompers and Secretary Frank
Morrison, have sent to all union locals
copies of the statement by the Nc
Namara defense fund committee. In
general letter they say:
In the recent past, the good name
and high ideals of our great labor
movement, its men and the cause of
humanity 1t and they represent, have
been attacked as never before. Every
enemy, every interest arrayed against
the organized workers has howled like
deryishes.
Labor resents the insinuation that
because one of two union members
became criminally inclined that the
rank and file and the officers of the
labor movement, are responsible eth

GIVEN A HARD
F NUT TO CRACK
Stella Johnson Has Been
Spirited Away.
OFFICER IS ON The TRAIL
Believe She Is Now in Mum
Gle, Indiana.
Mrs. Mary Putnam is Sent TO Jail for
Contempt of Court and Creates
Quite Scene in the Corridor.

Z In the case OF Stella Johnson, the
Juvenile court has found one of the
hardest nuts to crack. The first
thing TO be done is TO locate the
little girl who has been spirited
away by some members Of the
family and the searcn may lead the
ofhcers into Indiana and other states.
Major S. n. Titus Is now on the
trail and he will probably locate the
child and return her to Marion.
Because Of the. unhealthful sur
Toundings in the Johnson home ON
east George street it was deemed best
TO take GONE action and Judge w.
S. Spencer cited Mrs. Nancy john
son the mother to appear in his court
Thursday morning at nine o'clock
with the child. Mrs. Johnson put in
her appearance but she did not bring
the child. The hearing was continued
until nine o'clock Friday morning at
which time Mrs. Johnson agreed 20
have the child with her. When the
hour for the hearing arrived Mrs,
Johnson appeared but the girl was
mot there and she was quzzed by
the court as TO where the girl was
and why she had not been returned
Mrs. Johnson stated that on Thurs
day afternoon she had called her
daughter, a Mrs. Tyley, in Redwood
by phone and told her to bring
Stella to Marion by nine o'clock Fri
day morning and that she did not
know why she had not come. A lit

home to care for the baby until
such a time as the mother has re-
pented and is Wiling to give up all
information she had about the where
abouts of Stella. Mrs. Johnson was
excused by the court with the in
formation that she would be called
again and If she attempted to mis-
represent matters again she would
share the same rate as Mrs. Putnam.
1t is probable that late this after
noon MIS-. Putnam will be brought
over from the Jail and given an OPP
portunity to gain her release by tell
ing what she knows about the case.
The search for Stella Johnson will
be continued until the child is To-
Gated and then q hearing will be
held in the Juvenile court
The health officer has not deterI
mined what shall be done in the
case of the INLAND woman who is
so sorely afflicted, but it is probable
that she will be isolated and cared
for by the infirmary directors and
the township trustees.
Mrs. Putnam was brought into
court again this afternoon at two
o'clock. The few hours spent in the
county Jail seemed to have had
very queting influence and she was
very meek when she again faced
Judge Spencer. She was formally
charged with having contributed to

ting Stella Johnson out of the hands
of the court After having been
lodged behind the jail bars, she
quieted down very much and seemed
penitent.
After Mrs. Putnam had been dispos
ed of Mrs. Johnson showed signs of
repentance and was questioned fur
ther concerning what had become of
Stella johnson. She stated that when
the little girl had peen taken to
Redwood, it was the understanding
that she was to be brought back on
the six o'clock train so that sho
would be here in court at the APP
pointed hour.
1t was learned from another wo-
man, that sister Of Stella john
son, Mrs. Ida Bicknell had gone
TO the home of another sister in
west Marion, last evening ana secur-
ed Stella's clothing, but that the
little girl was not with her. 1t is
believed by the officers Of the court
that she Is the one who has taken
the girl away and that she is now
in Muncie, Indiana.
Mrs. Johnson narrowly escaped
being sent to the county jail for
contempt of court, the only thing
which saved her was the fact that
Mrs Putnam has a little baby about
one year old and that someone must
take care OF the child. She was sent

tie inquiry soon disclosed that Mrs.
out of whole cloth and when pinned
down she admitted that she had not
called her daughter or any other
pei son in Redwood and she changed
her story stating that she had sent
a daughter for the child.
Later on during the investigation
Mrs. Johnson stated that she had
been told by her daughter Mrs.
Mary Putnam to tell this story, in
order to avoid bringing the child in
to court.
About all that could be learned
by the court was that there was a
possibility that Stella is in Muncie
Indiana with a sister who is engaged
in Salvation Army work who was
stationed in that city. Major Titus
left this morning for Redwood to
see whether Stella Johnson had been
taken TO that village and to en-
deavor to get some trace of her. If
he is not successful in locating her
there he will go 70 Muncie and
search that city for the missing
child.
Mrs. Many Putnam the daughter
whom Mrs. Johnson states coached
her 70 tell the story of telephoning
and making an effort to have the
little girl brought into court, was
brought into court this morning and
when questioned by the court she
became very saucy. When asked con
cerning certain things she called
Judge Spencer a liar and withal was
one of the most obstreperous in
dividuals ever seen In court room,
She was charged with having contri-
buted to the delinquency of her Sis
ter Stella johnson After worrying
along with Mrs. Putnam for some
time in an effort to secure some In
formation from her. Judge Spe1cer
ordered her locked in the county Jail
for contempt of court in order to
give her time to think matters over
and come down off Of her high horse.
Then there was a scene enacted in
the court room and in the main corri
dor of the court house. Mrs, Putnam
decided that she was not going TO
be locked up. She was given into
the custody Of Addison Balm who
got into the case by virtue of his
position of health officer but who
was serving as probation officer dur
ing the absence Of Major Titus, and
then the tussel began. Mrs. Putnam
began screaming at the top of her
voice, kicking and fighting and re-
sisting the officer in every conceivable
way. Balm got her as far as the
Center street door of the court house
but when he attempted to open the
door she showed it closed and en-
deavored to break away from him.
Her cries attracted the attention OF
all of the people in the court house
| and soon there was a goodly crowd
of spectators. Mrs. Putnam finally
put an end to further struggling by
sitting down flatly on the floor OF
the corridor and giving herself ovel
to weeping and wailing. Mr.. Bain
summoned Deputy Sheriff Breen to
his assistance and the two picked hei
up and almost carried her to the
county jail where she will have time
to think things over and repent
During the fracas in the corridor
Mrs. Putma elected the sympathy OF
some of the onlookers by wailing
"Oh, my poor baby. Oh, my pool
baby" but this sympathy was soor
dispelled when 1t was learned how
she had behaved in court and how
she is the arch conspirator in get

Mayor Titus returned from Rich

has been lost but the officers have a

Last Friday night burglars en-
