Washington. d. G.. March i-sam-
ue. Lipson. manager Of ,he Lawrence
committee told the house committee
on rules today that he had never be-
come an American citizen because he
had found Il necessary TO spend for
shoes for his children the 81 that
naturalization papers would cost.
Al the outset OF today's hearing,
Chairman Henry nanounced that no
one but members OF the committee
ana cautioned the strikers 60 refrain
from any demonstration such as
characterized the hearing saturday,
Representative wilson Of Pennsyi-
vanla submitted a letter from Dudley
Holman, secretary to Governor Foss
.of Massachusetts, declaring conditions
at Lawrence had been exaggerated
greatly.
The police. he said were not biased
and we're acting In the best interests
Of the children wha we're sent away
from Lawrence.
Representative Hardwick OF Geor-
gia, inquired OF Lipson the purpose OF
sending children away from Law
renee.
"was It for their own good or to
arouse sympathy throughout the
country" nv asked.
1T was to care for them. 10 keep
them from tno dangers OF the strike. q"
said Llpson.
"when we tried 20 get the children
TO the train" Lipson continued. "the
police pushed the women and child
rem with clubs They acted worse
than Russian CassOcks Ia times Of rev.
olution. Things werS so terrible that
we decided to appeal to our amhas'
sadors at Washington FOR protection.
We decided to ind out n Lawrence
was IN Massachusetts and n Massaoh-
usetts was In tho United states"
"The most of you are foreigners
and you decided 10 appeal to a for
eign government rather than TO the
United states for protection" asked
Representative Hardwlck.
"If necessary"
Representative Campbell asked
Llpson II the strikers had sent COM
mittee to the mill owners. Llpson
said a committee was sent on one oc-
caslon and tho members were thrown
down stairs. This. he said, he dld not
see.
Samuel Gompers. president OF the
American Federation OF Labor ad-
dressed the COMMITTEES. lie said he
wished 20 appear in support OF the
resolution for an inquiry rather than
a. a witness.
"The statement has been made
that the United Textile workers had
failed TO organize these people and
we're organized merely 90 get money
Tor the workers" said Mr. Gompers.
"If that statement were true the
United Textile workers ought not to
exist. But Il Is not true. The truth
"a that the tyrannical attitude Of the
mill owners Of Lawrence III pervert-
ing the minds of these people caused
these conditions"

Especial to THE TIMES. )

Dyer, Ind. June 14.-Finding his
wife a corpse beside him in bed was
the horrible experience of William
Becker, a farmer living west OF town
across the state line in Illinois, last
night.
Heart trouble is ascribed as the cause
of the sudden death of Mrs. Becker. but
this will not be definitely established
until after the coroner's inquest.
Mr.. Becker spoke to his wife last
night about IL o'clock About midnight
he was awakened by the crying of the
baby in the family. Mr.. Becker got
up out of bed and tried to wake his
wife, when he discovered that she was
dead and that the death chill was al
ready beginning to creep over her body.
DIR. A. ]. Chevigny of Dyer was sum
moned. but all he could do was to re-
affirm the husbands discovery.
Mrs. Becker Is about 40 years old and
is the mother of seven children, the
oldest of whom Is II years old.
The funeral arrangements have not
yet been made.

DOCKETS
ARE SADLY
CONGESTED
Lake County Courts Long
Way Behind; Litigants
Say That Time Is Lost
Unnecessarily; Lawyers
Partly to Blame, IT'S Said.

In spite of the fact that there are
now three judges in the Lake Superior
court and that a great deal of Lake
County litigation is tried in Porter
and Laporte counties the dockets of
the Lake County courts are about as
congested ever.
1t is true that there have been a
great many more cases filed in the past
year or two than ever before but those
who are familiar with the way the
courts are run are convinced that a
great deal of time is unnecessarily lost
in disposing of the litigation that has
piled up in the courts.
There are two sides to this question.
The court will set cases day after day
and find that the attorneys will not
try them. They plead that they are
busy in other courts and can not be
in two places at the same time.
Both to Blame.
On the other hand there are a num-
ber of lawyers who claim that the
lawyers put one over the judges
and that in many instances they could
go to trial If they were forced to do so.
The judges are criticised for not fore
ing the attorneys to trial in nine cases
out of ten.
They point out that if their business
has grown to such proportions that

Charles w. Delaney Of Hammond

He was granted patent on his de-

expects to go east in few days to
talk over the matter of financing his
patent with eastern capitalists.
Mr. Delaney believes that the
greatest use for his patent is by drug

difficulty in handling their labels.

that he had been granted patent on

would be a boone to druggists. He
says he has a number of orders for
his device already.

1t is surprising to note the enter
prise with which these Chicago firms
go after a contract of this kind. Some
of them will even go to the extent of
marking off space on their floors the
size of the room to be furnished and
then arrange the furniture and win
dow draperies just as they will be ar
ranged when the room is completely
