AN ITALIAN DANCE
ENDS IN BIG ROW
One Foreigner, Denied "Ital-
ian Rag" Music, Hurls
Bottles About Room.

A Saturday night gathering of a
number of Italians was broken up and
an informal dance stopped when
Zaeckaumount Sabey lost his temper
and welded a beer bottle on Esther
Kovach by mistake, taking her for her
husband, Glorientina Kovach. This
dozen frolickers again gathered to-
gether to testify against Zaeckau-
mount, and when he was fined 81 and
costs, each of the prosecuting wit
nesses Clipped in a dollar and paid
his fine.
Koyach was playing an accordion ac-
cording to the interpreter, and Sabey,
who was intoxicated. demanded that
the musician play a certain Italian
rag" so that he could do the Tango
with another Italian. Kovach protest
ed that he did not know the tune de-
manded by Zaechaumount, and started
in on a beautiful rhapsody which. it
was gathered from the interpreters
broken English, was entirety unsuited
for any of the modern dances.
Sabey then attempted to teach Ko-
vach the latest piece, but was not
entirely successful in his efforts. The
interpreter demonstrated to the court
on an imaginary accordion, just how
the musuic was to have been played.
Kovach could not catch the drift, how
ever, and he was called the equivalent
of English "bonehead" in the native
tongue. A fusilade of beer bottles was
then started by the irate Zacheou-
mount, whose aim was poor, and re-
suited in lot of broken pictures and
much of the wall plastering falling to
the floor. mingled with broken bottles.
Then fearing for her young baby's
safety, Mrs. Kovach stepped in front
of the firing line and received the full
effect of one bottle on her left jaw,
with the result that today she can
only humble her words, and the in
terpreter says she can not even eat

JURORS VISIT JAIL
Find Institution i'm Good Con.
ditiOn.

Necessary improvements at the
county jail may result from the inves-
LEGATIONS of the grand jury, which will
make its report to Judge Fox Tues
day. The jail was visited by the Of
ficials last Friday afternoon and ac-
cording to Sheriff Bayer the condition
of the institution was favorably COM
mented upon by the officials.
Sheriff Bayer said he did not want
to put the county to any unnecessary
expense, but the conditions of the en-
frances to the jail and the insane
wards should be improved. There
should be an iron cage and a trap
door at the entrance of the insane
ward in order that a vicious inmate
could not attack the sheriff or care
takers when opening the doors At
present there are no prisoners who
would viciously attack any one who
enters with their food
At nearly all jails there are cages
where two doors have to be entered
before getting to the cells and cor
ridors where the prisoners are. The
sheriff pointed out to the jurors how
easy it would be for an inmate of the
jail to attack anyone entering the
ward

Rev. E. G. Howard, Of the First En-
glish Lutheran church, delivered a ser
mon on Labor, Its Rights and Re
wards" yesterday morning, taking as
his text the passage which reads, the
laborer Is worthy OF his hire"
Labor day is increasing in signifi-
canoe and the church should make
use of it by applying the principles of
Christianity to the changing times.
There was a time when there was no
question as to the rights of the labor
er. the primitive man could work
where he chose and cultivate what
ground he wished. But with the in
crease of civilization and the multipli-
cation of the inhabitants of the earth,
the rights of some men may interfere
with those of others. In our days class
distinction has been brought about,
and the laborer cannot toll where he
will, but only as conditions permit"
What Labor Should Have.
In speaking of the rights of the la
borer Rev. Howard said, THE laborer
has a right to work. Every man has
the right to have some employment
that is self-sustaining. II is a right
that goes with life and liberty. He
has right to labor under living con-
ditions, with respect TO safety against
accidents and respect to health and
happiness. The laborer should enjoy
the right of increasing usefulness, he
should have the opportunity for pro-
motion and the further development
OF his life. He should have a COM
mensurate compensation, and not only
receive enough for a living but also
fair proportion of the product of his
toll
The laborers reward" continued
Rev. Howard should not consist en-
tirely of the compensation in his pay

the working people caused the labor
day parade to number less men and
women in their lines today than last
year. OF the $4,000 persons in line
nearly 5000 were women. AS practi-

SCHOOLS TO PLEAD
GUILTY TO CHARGE
Hopes to Get Light Sentence
Prefers Death to Serv-
ing Life Term.

George Schools, colored, confessed
murderer of his wife, Lydia Schools,
stated today that he wished to plead
guilty to the indictment brought
against him Saturday by the Wayne
county grand jury, charging him with
murder in the first degree. No date
has been set for his trial, but he prob
ably will be arraigned this week.
Judge Fox said that he would SEN
tence Schools to prison for life after
will not be sent to the electric chair
if he throws himself upon the mercy of
the court, though his crime was one
of the most revolving homfcides ever
committed in Wayne county.
Maintains He Had Cause.
Schools still maintains he had just
cause for jealousy, as his wife was
unfaithful
Hanson Hunter, the man whom
Schools said broke up his happy
home" and alienated the affections of
his wife, has not returned to the city
since the murder. Had Schools stood
trial, Hunter would have proved
valuable witness for the defense
Schools is hopeful that he will be
given a light sentence in the state
prison at Michigan City. He often re-
peats his threat to commit suicide if
sentenced to prison for life, saying
that he would rather be dead than
incarcerated for life.
At the county Jail he occasionally
walks up and down the corridors tell
ing the prisoners he is looking for
place TO hang himself. He said he
could do the work with handkerchief
According to the attaches of the in
stitution he is a coward Little fear
is entertained that he will carry out
his threat for, according to Caretaker
Rice Miller, a man who entertains Sc
rious thoughts of suicide while con-
fined will not make threats of killing

Mrs. NJ. F. Johnston, president of the
local art association said people
should not be shocked at such a splen-

son and not the picture. In painting
the picture the artist did not mean to
make the woman the main theme, but
rather he appreciated the beautiful
violet lights which are always cast
upon the human skin by the reflection
of sunlight through trees or clouds, or
from the water said Mrs. Johnston.
