TAFT AIDS ABSTAINERS' MOVE

Read In 5000 Sunday Schools
Throuuhout Union.

Chicago. - With the intention of
enlisting all the Sunday school
children in the United States in a to-
tai abstainers' movement, a letter writ
ten by President Taft was read in g.
600 Sunday schools throughout the
country.
The letter was written by the
president December 20 and is ad-
dressed to Sunday school pupils as
My dear young friends" and reads:
The excessive use of Intoxicating
liquor is the cause of great deal of
poverty, degradation, and crime of the
world, and one who abstains from the
use of such liquor avoids a dangerous
temptation.
Abraham Lincoln showed that he
believed this in writing out for his
boy friends the pledge of total absti-
nence so often quoted. Each person
must determine for himself the course
he will take in reference to his tastes
and appetites; but those who exercise
the self-restraint to avoid altogether
the temptation of alcoholic liquor are
on the safe and wiser side"
DR.. Howard H. Russell Of Westville,
O.. founder of the Anti-Saloon league,
also is founder of the Lincoln legion,
which instigated the services.

MOTORMAN BLAMED BY JURY
Verdict in Inquest Over Bodies OF
Women Drowned in Sheboygan
Car Charges Negligence.

Sheboygan.-R Responsibility for the
the Sheboygan Street Railway COM
pany plunged through the open draw
bridge into the river was placed on
Motorman George Theme by the cor
oner's jury. The company is also
scored for it's lack of protective mea-
sures.
The jury in it's report cites the
death of the Misses Anna Mather,
Tannica Van Ouwerkerk and Olga
Willimit, and continues:
I'VE further find that the motor
man, George Theme, was guilty of
negligence and contributed to the ac-
cident by allowing his car to descend
Eighth street hill at too high a rate
of speed, and in not observing the
open draw of the bridge in time to
stop his car"
Testimony was brought out that
the car descended the hill at a speed
of about fifteen miles an hour.
Motorman Theme said that the
descent of the hill was made as usual
and at the bottom he set his brakes
to reduce speed, but the rails were
slippery and the car skidded. 1t
was then that he noticed the bridge
opening. He said that the front of
the car was about eighteen feet from
the edge when the bridge began to
swing.
The bridgetenders and Capt. Will
liam GrOh of the tug declared that
the bridge had swung over two-thirds
of it's area when the car went over
the edge.

PAY ROLL FRAUDS BIG
U. S. STEEL CORPORATION DE.
FRAUDED OF THOUSANDS.
Evidence Shows Thefts Made Possible
by Carrying Dead Men AS
Employees.

Hammond, Ind.-Evidence adduced
at the trial of John T. Caldwell
and Charles Bloomhoff, former time
keepers at the Indiana steel plant at
Gary, Ind, charged with conspiracy
to defraud, shows that the United
States Steel corporation has been
swindled out of upwards of 100000.
The stupendous size of thefts were
made possible by carrying dead men,
straw men and missing men on the
pay rolls, through the alleged con-
nivance of the defendants.
1t has been brought out during the
trial now under way for three weeks
that a dead employee Of the United
States Steel company was carried for
months on the pay roll. Bloomhoff
and Caldwell are asserted to have pur-
chased a garage and automobile on
Michigan avenue, Chicago, with pro-
ceeds of the alleged populations. The
case will probably go to the jury to-
day. The defendants charge that
higher officials Of the United States
Steel company are involved in the
conspiracy.
