The Weather.

According to promise made by the
weather prognosticators, zero came
to us once more. Friday evening
there was a decided change, and the
mercury kept dropping slowly down.
The coolest reported is att the West
ern Union tower where the register
at four O'Clock Saturday morning
was Is below. The same place
says that at seven it was 10 below,
and at nine just at zero. j. W.

city it is given out that IA, II and at
one place Is was reached. In Johns
town Wesley Hill reports that it was

of Plymouth, we can safely set it
down that 10 to IL was good
average. At 7:3O five thermometers

CHICAGO LABOR
LEADERS READY

DENY PART IN CONSPIRACY
Found by Federal Grand Jury at
indianapolis Against Two
Chicago Leaders.

Chicago, Feb 5.-Certain labor lead
ers in Chicago-at least two of them
are prepared to fight indictments they
believe have been voted against them
by the federal grand jury at Indianap-
oils, Ind, which is making investiga-
tons of the ramifications of the Nc
Namara gang of dynamiters The
Chicago men are sure they will be in
dicted. In fact, they already have ap-
peared before a government official
here, arrangement has been made for
their bond, and decision was made by
them that they will resist any attempt
to extradite them to Indianapolis for
trial.
1t was reported that seven Chicago
ans will be found to have been indict.
ed by the Indianapolis federal grand
jury. Labor officials here, however
scout this statement, saying that only
two local men have been made the
subjects of true bills. 1t is said by Of
ficials here that the men are in no
danger, as Chicago labor circles had
absolutely HI COnnCCllOA with luc MI
Namaras or any of their gang.
The reports of the indictments fol
lowed disclosures that the fire Dec Is

Trade building, where many unions
had offices, had been under investiga-
ton by federal authorities.

John Fitzpatrick. president of the

no records of that federation were
burned. He asserted that all of the
papers were in the vault, which was
found intact after the fire.
E. N. Nockels, secretary Of the lccal
federation, is said to have expected a

MICHIGAN ROAD IMPR'vEM'T
Marshall Couny Reported AS Having
An Organization That Is
Pushing the Scheme
Through.

At the annual banquet of the New
Albany Automobile Club, recently
held, letters were read that had been
sent by Rush c. Watkins, president
Of the Louisville Automobile Club,
and copies of letters that had been
sent to Governor Marshall, urging
the speedy construction of a propos-
ed road through Indiana, that would
create route through Indiana that
will be to the advantage OF Louis
vile and New Albany. The move
ment for this road was started fol-
lowing the reliability run of the
Chicago motor club some months ago.
1t appears that the officers of the
Chicago club had urged the Louis
vile club to renewed energy in the
matter of an improved highway thru
Indiana.
The route proposed extends over
the New Albany and Paoli pike to
Paoli, thence to French Lick and
West Baden springs, thence to Or
leans, Bedford and Columbus, and
on to Indianapolis. 1t is shown that
while this route Is some thirty-five
miles longer than a direct route from
New Albany to Indianapolis, it is
considered more feasible on account
of the desire Of many tourists to
visit French Lick and West Baden.
On top of this movement for a
road through southern Indiana as far
as Indianapolis, now comes a dis
patch dated at South Bend, Jan. 81,
declaring that an organization had
been perfected in Marshall county
to interest boards of County Com
missioners and the state legislature
in movement to restore the Michi-
gan highway extending from Michi-
gan City on the north to Madison
and the Ohio River on the south
The dispatch says further that the
estimated cost of constructing such
a road as 10 proposed viii cost five
millions of dollars.
Just who the Marshall county
promoters of this enterprise are is
not given in the dispatch, but we
presume our County Commissioners
win take not Of it, and at their next
meeting vote the necessary sum from
the treasury to build the portion
through the county.
The Michigan road when first laid
out was a state road, but long since
it has become like other roads, being
under the care of the officers who
control the workings of other roads
in the counties through which it
passes. Now for the state to take
it over, remove it from the hands
of the present officials and make it
a great State Highway, seems far
fetched scheme, and We will wait
the development of the enterprise.

ENTERTAIN 500 CLUB.
Company of Ladies and Gentlemen
Have Happy Evening At Home Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Snoeberger.

A company of thirty-six ladies and
gentlemen had a gay and happy time
at the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. G..
D. Snoeberger Friday night. The oc-
casion was the entertainment of the
high eight ladies of the Five Hun
dred club by the low eight. The
husbands of the members were in
vited. The high eight were splendid
ly costumed for the event and held
their heads high as their former sue
cess at the card tables entitled them
to.
AT seven o'clock supper was serv-
ed. The tables were spread with the
Sunday pages of daily papers,
pieces of aprons were used as nap
kins, artificial flowers in bottles as
decoration, and jelly glasses for
water. Dried apples rolled in sugar
and potato soup were served for the
viands.
After the supper seven games of
500 were played in which Mrs. We'll
come Miller won high score for the
ladies and F. E. earn for the gentle
men. Mrs. Everly and Harry Ho-
ham received the low scores, and
Harry took home a tin horn for his
son Hal.
At 11:30 the real dinner of the
evening was served, and there were
some who had been fooled by the
first supper and ate so much that
they could not enjoy the dinner.
The meal was In three courses and
a most elegant repast in every way.
The evening was thoroughly enjoy
ed by everyone, it being one of the
most delightful affairs of the kind
the club has ever held.

Special to the Republican. eiie.
David Pdrdy, deaf and dumb
farmer whose home was about three
miles northeast of Bourbon, fell
dead at the Peabody saw mill in

Heart disease was the cause of his

the lifting and stopping brought on
the attack which killed him. He
was a man about so years old and
unmarried. He with a niece owned
a little farm northeast of Bourbon.
The funeral was held Sunday
afternoon at LOO % clock, conduct
ed by Rev. Mr.. Rittenhouse of the

Gowan first talked to Bailey about the
case, the latter said, on Aug. IL, 1911
In Saskatchewan, Canada. Bailey
produced notes he had made Of the
MCGOWAN conversations.
On that day Bailey said MCGOWAN
criticised Stuart, saying he had
caused his trouble by talking in Chi

him with the Hines people" s
MCGOWAN mentioned a man named
Shields as paying him $50 about the

Plymouth, Ind, Sept. 8, 1889, and
departed this life at Warsaw, Ind,
Jan. %, 1912, at the age of % years,
4 months and 81 days. Max was the
second son of Mr.. and Mrs. William
Hintz who came from Germany
direct to Plymouth % years ago.
They have been counted among our
best citizens ever since.
On Jan. 81, 1897, the father died
and for the past fifteen years the
mother has had the care of the fam
lily. In these trying times Max was
always kind and devoted to his
mother and industrious in helping
care for the family For a number
of years he was with the Edgerton
Manufacturing Co. and was highly
esteemed by his employers. Every
boy in the factory liked him. In
May, 1911, Max received good offer
in the Dalton foundry of Warsaw
to act as shipping clerk, and he ac-
eepted the position. Soon the entire
department there was entrusted to
him.
Max came often to Plymouth to
visit his mother and friends. His
last visit was on Jan. 81, when he
seemed apparently well. He return
ed to Warsaw and reported for work
Monday morning but soon was COM
PEELED to go to his rooms. He thought
it was only a cold and would soon
be better, but it developed that
pneumonia had so fastened itself
upon him that the best of medical
skill could not overcome it and save
his life. On Sunday night, after the
midnight hour, surrounded by his
mother. sister and brothers, he
quietly passed away. Just before
he said his prayer in German and
then fell asleep.
When but child Max was con-
firmed in the German Evangelical
church. Two years ago he became a
worthy member of the order of
Modern Woodmen Of America and
stood high among the members. He
leaves to mourn him, his mother,
a sister, Mrs. Win Morrow of Plym-
outh; three brothers, Paul HI. G.
superintendent of the Marshall Mfg.
Co., Marshall Tex; Carl F., in the
employ of the Dalton Foundry at
Warsaw, and Albert a., of Plymouth.

and Miss Hilda Boyer and Henry

tives.

The service was in charge of the

ings were grand to behold. They
were given by special friends Modern

flowers proved to the people that
