The twenty-eighth annual conven-
tion of the Indiana State Federation
of Labor closed late Thursday after
noon after what was generally declar-
ed to have been the most successful
meeting in the history of the fedora
ton. 1t was conspicuous for the alb
sence of factional strife and conten-
ton.
Before adjourning the federation by
rising vote adopted a resolution of
thanks in which an appreciation of
the hospitality of Richmond, it's Off
cials and citizens and the Central La
Dor Council was voiced.
Delegates to the convention said
they had learned much of the relation
that should exist between labor and
capital while in Richmond. There were
many points that impressed the visit
ors and which they will strive to in
Studies Saloon Regulations.
The high moral character of the city
appealed to many. J. G. Wilson, first
vice president of the Indiana Barten-
ders' League, made a study of the To-
cal police regulation of saloons. He
was SO impressed with the benefits
and advantages of the Richmond reg
ulations that he will strive to have
them adopted in other Indiana cities
The eleven o'clock closing ordinance,
the strict Sunday regulation, and the
disposition of saloon keepers to assist
in an observance of the saloon laws
were some of the features that i'm
pressed Mr.. Wilson.
The Terre Haute delegation last ev-
ening conferred with members of the
local reception and arrangements com
mittees to secure data on entertaining
the convention in 1913. Terre Haute
yesterday secured the convention from
Fort Wayne by vote of 102 to "a on

on the second ballot.
Although Henry Friedman, defeated
candidate for president, moved to
make the election of Edgar A. Perkins
unanimous, his followers were sore at
his defeat. His active lieutenants in
the race were Everett McGinnis, a
printer of Indianapolis, Charles Kos
ter, indianapolis, and Albert Lowry,
of indianapolis.
AS an eleventh hour attempt to
stampede the delegates for Perkins,
they spread the rumor that the pres
ence of DR.. Hannah Graham, leader OF
the equal suffrage movement in Indi-
ana, was in Richmond on a political
mission and that Perkins was backing
her For time the rumor embarrassed
the Perkins camp, but after its score
was ascertained, little attention was
given the matter.

The boy was brought before the tribunal

vagrancy. He was found begging on the
streets. He feigned dumbneSs, explaining
by means of pencil and paper that he had
been unable to speak since meeting with
an accident last Christmas. Judge De
Lacy sent him to the Emergency Hospital
for examination.
Bertram maintained silence, answering
questions in writing. When he arrived
at the hospital he was taken TO the operat-
ing room. Two Shostly looking surgeons
walked slowly in. They approached the
boy, and thrustiny an Instrument resem-
bling a pair OF pliers in his mouth, be-

fectly normal" answered Judge De Lacy.
