HUNGER STRIKE ON
ROCK PILE ENDED
Thieves Were Glad to Fill Stomachs
After Tight Days of Starva-
ton. Y

Kansas City, Mo-, Oct. 6.-The last
man Of three who went on a hunger
strike eight days ago rather than work
on the rock pile, to which they were
sentenced for petty larceny, gave in
Saturday. They are breaking rock, hav-
ing admitted to Judge Latshaw OF the
criminal court they are very fond OF
work-and food.
Joseph Carney, the last man to sur
render, was founder of the starvation
squad. A week ago when he, Sterling
Price and Russet WEIGH were sentenced,
Carney said he did not see why the
system used by sufragettes in England
would not work in Missouri. Price and
Welch did not see either, so the three
refused food.
The strikers were confined in cells on
a diet of distilled water. Weldh called
for meat and work in five days. Price
lasted seven and Carney scant eight

ed States and who died on September
81, was offered for probate late Satur-
day afternoon. No one knows the ex-
tent of the estate, but it has been re-
ported for years that Mr.. Simon was
worth over Sl0,000,000.
If this be a correct estimate Mr. 81
mon leaves fully $3,000,000 to employees,
chiefly head men, though some OF the
less prominent employees are remem-
bered.
To his widow he leaves his two pri-

dence at Union Hill Hudson county, N.
j., with all the furniture and fittings,
the proceeds of his life insurance poll
cies and $4,000.

as follows: To Eliz9beth Mary Simon,
his wife, 666 parts; to his sister, Mrs
Emily Ebert of Frankfort the Main,
Germany, $50 parts; to Mrs. Grace Blk
Ter, wife of William O. Bixler, and
daughter of Mrs. Simon by her former
husband, 307 parts; to Charles w. Null
Ter and Edward Essers, each 1875 parts.
Other employees received smaller
amounts Most of those receiving the
smaller requests are residents of Union
Hill, n. J.
The will directs that the beneficiaries

a Warm Ses-

ENFORCING NEW
TARIFF ACT
Report Favoring Dissolu-
ton of New Haven Sys-
tenn Expected

Washington, Oct. r. Saturday was a
day of odds and ends. There was a
disposition to rest after Friday evenings
(, signing of the tariff law. Eyes were
much upon the treasury department, be.
cause administration of the law is now
with the treasury. Every official there
was girded for the duty, but without
particular developments. Inquirers at
the big granite building learned that
custom -houses close at noon Saturdays.
! Consequently beyond the rush to open
warehouses, there was little to record.
| Secretary McAdoo was stoical about ex-
pediting the admission of goods. He ar
gued that importers, willing to impound
their goods for weeks and months in
warehouses on a chance of lower duties,
could well bide the governments con-
yenience in getting those goods out.
Real activities in enforcing the new law,
Assistant Secretary Charles s. Ham
din said, would begin to-day.

Howard Elliott issued yesterday.
Although the earnings of few
months of the fiscal year were the great,
est in the history of the company, the
result was offset by heavier operating
expenses, principally caused by expen
ditures to put the equipment in better
condition and pay increased wages.

THRESHER'S
DINNERS OUT
OF STYLE

Anderson, Ind, July 19.-No more big
threshers' dinners. The farmers wives
of Madison county have struck The
threshers' dinner has been the bane of
the harvest season for a great many
farmers wives for many years. 1t
means preparing a tremendous meal
for a horde of wolfishly hungry
hands during the hottest months Of
the year. And the food had to be of
the best and there had to be lots of It
as well as plenty of "fixins."
So the big dinner feature of the
threshing season is all off. The large
lunch basket reigns in it's stead And
the women are reported as saying that
they don't care how long IL reigns.
Threshing began pretty generally to-
day, although some threshing has been
in progress since July TO- Most of the
threshing this year is being done by
cooperative farmers societies.

He took some cherry pie and some
buttermilk. He bit into the cherry pie
and it tasted good. He bit further.
This time his teeth met resistance. In
vestigation disclosed two watermelon
seeds. More investigation. The pie
contained a great amount of water
melon pulp. Additional investigation.
A Chicago genius had devised the
scheme Of making cherry pies from
watermelon pulp. But for the little
seed the pies still would be coming to
Indiana. DR.. Hurry said that under
the law he couldn't do more than warn
the proprietor of the shop for the first
offense.
The proprietor asserted with asperity
and ascerbity, to quote DR. Hurry cor
rectly, that there was nothing in that
pie but cherries. Then he threw the
burden on Chicago and its chefs.

DULTUTH'S
HOUSING
STANDARDS

Various cities in recent months have
taken cognizance of the Importance of
good housing conditions. One of the
first to take constructive action by a
complete revision of it's housing code,
following a searching investigation,
was Duluth. Like every other city
which has been careless with respect
to the way it's people live. Duluth had
been housing some OF its population
in dark interior rooms and dark. damp
Easements: it had room overcrowding
and lot overcrowding; and it's toilet
facilities were in many instances not
conducive either to decency or to
health.
The first result of these discoveries
was the appointment by the common
council, on the recommendation of the
mayor. of a housing committee. This
committee at once set about the task
of drafting an ordinance based upon a
model law. A draft of this ordinance
was submitted to the National Housing
association for comment. 1t was made
the subject of several public hearings
in Duluth and finally passed by a vote
of to 6.
Hereafter in Duluth both tenement
houses and single family dwellings
must have enough open space on their
lots to light and ventilate every room,
rooms must be large enough for habi-
tation and must have windows opening
to the outer air, the height of wooden
tenement houses will be limited and
other safeguards provided against fire.
Every new tenement house must have
within each apartment a proper sink
with running water and a water closet
located either in bathroom or in a
separate compartment Every dwell
ing house, when water main and sewer
are accessible, must also have running
water and a water closet within the
house.
For existing houses the regulations.
of course, are not so strict as for new
buildings; but for them also the
standards have been raised in the in
terests of decency and health.-Chica

EASTWOOD
TALKS ANENT
RAILROADS

Alderman Harry w. Eastwood, rail-
roader of various experiences is ac-
cepted as an authority by his fellows
in the Hammond common council on
questions regarding railroads and the
methods they employ. Concerning the
crusade against crossing blockades he
will have something of the following to
say at the next meeting of the council
If asked to express his views.
Elevation or depression of the
tracks is the only solution I know of
to the prevailing conditions. Until we
arrive at that ideal we must restrict
the railroads, educate the public and
keep after the street cars companies.
All must cooperate that lives may be
spared and time saved.
Railroads Dodge Fines.
1.-The semaphore system which holds
up long freight trains in the heart of
the city cannot be changed for the
better until the entrance of roads into
the city is changed and that is not
likely to happen. There Is but one
way to stop the blockades and that Is
for officers to arrest a crew of a train
when II is standing. To do SO. unless
there is a fragrant violation of the
law does not appear just for the rail-
roader and not the railroad must pay
the penalty.
Il approve of fixing crossings and
charging the bill to the railroads and
compelling the roads to keep cars from
sidings where they will obstruct the
view and endanger life. But the prob
lem of the railroads IN the city of Ham
mond is one that cannot be solved on
the spur of the moment. We must
keep a careful guard while at the same
time not antagonizing the roads as Ions
as they are open to reason"
Favors Separate Depots.
In regard to the terminal question
in Hammond Alderman Eastw wood state s
that he is glad that Hammond is not
| to have union depot. "A half dozen
presentable depots is better than a
large union station" he said. I'VE
want people TO transfer and II it costs
them a half dollar to have a trunk
| moved so much the better. In the big
depot the different roads would not
| employ scpera,c station agents. bag
gage masters, etc. 1t would take some
good citizens awsy from Hammond"
