Earl Crawford Jumps
to Progressive Party

II am no longer affiliated with the
Democratic party. am now a member
OF the Progressive party and I am
proud of it."
This statement was made today by
Earl Crawford Of Milton, who in 1913
represented WaJne and Fayette coun-
ties in the legislature, having been
elected on the Democratic ticket.
While in the legislature Crawford
had an opportunity of learning how
thoroughly rotten the Taggart ma
chine was and he at once declared war
on the System" and was in constant
revolt against it until the close of the
session.
To punish him the Taggart machine
this year blacklisted him and he was
practically refused the denomination
he was entitled to by the machine
bringing out a candidate against him.
Crawford declined to seek re-nomina-
ton under such conditions and he was
then rendered the Progressive nomina-
ton for joint representative, but he de-
clined the offer for at that time he

FINES MRS. MYERS
FOR PROFANE TALK

Mrs. Nora Myers, 304 Chestnut
street, after practically every person
living in the neighborhood had enter
ed complaint against her, was fined
SO and costs for profanity in city court
this morning. On a promise Of future
good behavior charge of public in
decency also filed against her was dis
missed.
Mrs. Myers, handsome young wom-
an, was lectured both by the prosecu-
tor and the mayor. The former said
her gathering tongue had set the entire
neighborhood on it's ears and that in
the future if she did not behave her
self she would be severely dealt with.
Once before, he said, she had ben ar
raigned on a charge of provoke but
dismissed on promise to be good. He
also charged that during the latest
rumpus she had publicly charged that
she had no fear of prosecution because
she had a stand in with the city Off
Gals and the police. Her fine was stay
ed by member Of the fire department.
1t was charged in the public indecen-
cy affidavit against the woman that
to show her contempt of her neighbors
she performed a most unlady-like act.

had not fully decided whether to leave
the Democratic party.
Recently he decided the only way
possible to rid Indiana of the Taggart
machine was through the agency of
the Progressive party and he at once
affiliated himself with that organiza-
ton.
wayne county's three Democratic
legislative candidates are all Taggart
men," said Crawford today, land am
going to do everything in my power
to defeat them. am going to tell the
people of Wayne, Fayette and Union
counties what l know about the work
ings of the Taggart outfit and what
it would mean to them to have Tag
CART henchmen represent them in the
legislature. I have already started the
fight but later l wis devote more time
to it."
Crawford has also promised another
former Democrat, Bernard B. Shively,
Progressive candidate for congress in
the Eleventh district, to campaign
with him all over that district.

HOG PRICES SOAR
To FAMINE FIGURE

CHICAGO, Aug. lobbying by Ar
mour & Co., sent cattle and hogs up to
famine prices today at the Stock
Yards. Cattle brought 5000 100
weight and hogs 5000 hundred
weight. The highest prices of the
year, and the highest since 1912.
The advance was not only due to the
wars, traders said, but also to the do
nestle scarcity. Last week commission
men sent word to the country not to
load and the supply at the yards has
been scant. In order to keep the local
trade supplied, the big packers found
it necessary to buy, and their advent
into the market sent prices soaring.

"enouSN.
PARIS, Aug. 1O-A thrilling episode
of the aerial warfare going on be-
tween Germany and France was re-
lated in an official report received
from Belfort, at the war ministry to-
day. The hero was a young French
officer. who had begged to be among
the first sent out to scout over the
German frontier.
His wish was granted, and he was
sent in the direction of Metz, to ascer-
tain the positions of the German army
After securing his information he was
on his way back, when he was sighted
by three German aerial scouts. They
gave chase, and fired upon him.
The French scout responded in kind
but the number against him was TOO
great and when he was wounded. he
had to dash for Belfort at full speed
He arrived there with his aeroplane
riddled by German bullets Though
seriously wounded, he is expected to
recover.
