WAR WITH U. S.
CARRANzA aim
VILLA DECLARES

Ell PASO, Tex, Aug. 2s-That Gen.
eral Venustiano Carranza Is trying to
involve the United States and Mexico
in terrible war is the assertion made
by General Francisco Villa in a mes
sage from the revolutionary leader, re-
ceived by friend in this city. Villa
is said to have laid his evidence
against Carranza before an agent Of
the American government.
Ever since Villa split with his for
mer chief, he has claimed that Car
rama could never win control Of
Northern Mexico. Villas friends have
been proclaiimng for some time that
Carranza probably would try to win
all Mexicans to an undivided support
of himself by bringing on war with
the United States, but Villas mes
sage is the first indication that he has
accepted that theory as to Carranza's s
policy.
1t became known today that Gen
eral Villa has expelled five Americans
from their ranch near T1ahualilo be-
cause they refused to contribute
horses and saddles to the revolution
ary cause.

When McMahan Omits Es-

Treasurer's Salary.

McMahan of Assistant.

Failure of City Controller McMahan
to incorporate into the tentative 1916
budget ordinance an appropriation of
$500 for the salary of deputy city
treasurer, has aroused SO much con-
troversy, it was learned today, that a
special committee of councilmen has
been appointed to determine whether
such an appropriation could be pro.
vided
A feud between Controller McMa-
han and County Treasurer Chamness,
who is also treasurer of the city of
Richmond, appears to be responsible
for the perplexing question thres
councfinfen have now been ca1led
upon to straighten out
The deputy city treasurer, an Of
fee which has always been held by
some young woman, works most of
the time at the treasurer's office at
the court house and is, in fact, one of
the two young women deputies reg

or five days each month she works in

Up until the time Mr.. Chamness
succeeded Mr. Albertson as county

the deputy city treasurer to receive a

LINK KAySER'S NAME
WITH PLOT TO BLAST
AETNA POWDER MILL

GARY, Ind, Aug. 2s.-Disclosures
OF plot to blow up the Aetna Powder
companys mills, the linking of the
name Of Edmond A. H. Kayser with
the alleged plot, the arrest OF two
men said to have written letters to
Rev. Kayser, and the receipt of threat
ening letters by Chief of Police Heintz
were some of today's developments in
connection with the mystery of the
murder of the Rev. Kayser in his par
sonage home at Tolleston. Otto
Kramer, of Miller, Ind, an employe of
the Aetna company, declared today
that a plot had been uncovered which
would have caused the destruction of
the mills.
Chief Heintz refused to accept any
theory that the war had anything to
do with the murder of the minister,
but was working on the theory that
the persons who wrote the threaten
ing letters caused the death of the
minister.

RUSSIAN ARMY
SMASHED INTO
Three SECTIONS
Germans Divide Muscovites
and Endanger Retreat of
Center of Grand Dukes
Army.

BERLIN, via Amsterdam, Aug. 28-
Correspondents of Berlin papers, now
at German headquarters in the east
ern theater of war, report that the
Russian army has been split into
three sections and that it will now
be possible to deal separately with
each one as the general staff decides
They explain the present situation
thus:
/. The Russian right wing, between
the Gulf of Riga and Dvinsk, has been
separated from the counter advance
on Wilma following the capture OF
Kovno.
2. The left wing of the Cars army,
having as its front an irregular line
extending from the upper Bug to the
Dneister, has been cut off from the
center by the Austro-German advance
to the northeast from Brest-Litovsk.
8. The Russian center, menaced
from the north by Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg and from the southeast by
Field Marshal Won Mackensen, has
only single railway line for its re.
treat to Minsk. Unless most of the
troops in the Russian center have al.
ready been withdrawn to Minsk, great
numbers of them are certain to be
caught by the converging Teutonic
lines.
The occupation of Wilma by Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg's troops is
expected to place the Russian center
in another serious predicament. From
Brest-Litovsk, whence the Russians
have retreated, it is more than 175
miles from Minsk, while Wilma is only
105 miles from Minsk. If Won Hin
denburg can smash the Russian forces
on the Dvinsk-Riga front by a sudden
blow, he will then be in a position to
advance along the Vilna-Minsk line
and possibly trap the entire Russian
center

Walsh of Industrial Relations
Committee Says Workers
Do Not Receive Sufficient
Compensation.
WANTS MORE UNIONS
Says Workers are Blind to
Their Own Needs and Ne
cessity of Acting as a Col
lectiye Unit.

CHICAGO, Aug. 28.-"We find the
basic cause of industrial dissatisfac.
tion to be low wages, or stated in an.
other way: The fact that the workers
of the nation, through compulsory and
oppressive methods, legal and illegal
are denied the full product of their
toll"
This is one of the many charges
made by Frank P. Walsh, chairman
of the federal commission on indus
trial relations.
I'VE further find that unrest among
the workers in industry has grown to
proportions that already menace the
social good will and the peace of the
nation. Citizens numbering millions,
smart under a sense of injustice and
oppression, born of conviction that the
opportunity is denied them to acquire
for themselves and their families that
degree of economic well being neces-
sary for the enjoyment of those ma
terial and spiritual satisfactions
which alone make life worth living.
How Bitterness Arises.
Bitterness, bred of untitled need
for sufficient food, clothing and shell.
ter for themselves and their wives
and children, has been further nour-
ished in the hearts of these millions
by resentment against the arbitrary
power that enables the employer, un-
der our present industrial system to
control not only the workman's oppor-
tunity to earn his bread, but oft times
through the exercise of this power to
dictate his social, political and moral
environment. By thwarting the human
passion for liberty and the solicitude
of the husband and father for his own.
MUderIi> ndustry has kindled spirit
in those dissatisfied millions that lies
deeper and springs from nobler i'm
pulses than physical need and human
selfishness.
'The extent and depth of industrial
unrest can hardly be exaggerated

many's concessions to the United
States whereby she has modified her
submarine warfare against England
may yet prove the entering wedge
that will restore world peace. Off
cials were today considering the pos
sibility of such result. The war they
declare is now one more of silver than
of leaden bullets. And Germany in
bowling to the will of this country and
agreeing to its demands has prevented
the lining up on the side of the allies
of the enormous resources of the
United States, something which would
have been certain had diplomatic rela.
tions been severed.

now held in German circles here. And
Germany is very hopeful that follow

inclined to believe that Dr. Glenn has
been holding two lucrative offices al

said today.
1t is said that DR.. Glen, in addition
to devoting a good part of his time
to private practice as a veterinarian
has in recent months spent must time
performing the duties Of an assistant
state veterinarian, Notwithstanding
complaints which had been made that
he was not giving the desired atten

Legal interpretations of section 9

hold more than one lucrative Office al
the same time,' seem to agree. Coun

section pertains merely to officials

ity and administering laws enacted by
the state legislature.
Although the office of city council.
man is financially lucrative, it has
been held not to be lucrative within
the meaning Of the state constitution
because the city councilman has no
duties to perform under the laws of
the state. In other words, the office
of city councilman is purely municipal
in its scope.
On the other hand, the office OF
school trustee has been held to be
lucrative within the meaning of the
constitutions, such an official being re-
quierd to perform duties imposed by
state enacted statutes.
This being the case. the county at.
torney is inclined to believe that the
office of city dairy inspector is also a
lucrative office within the meaning
of the constitution, as he has several
duties to perform under state enacted
laws. Hoelscher is also inclined to
believe that the office of deputy state
veterinarian is also lucrative within
the meaning of the constitution.
If the county attorney sustains the
opinions he now holds in this regard,
he will undoubtedly hold that DIR.

tivities in recent months in violation

OF FRAUD CHARGES

nish bond in the sum of $500 when he
waived examination Friday afternoon
before Mayor Foos, Albert R. Monroe,
So, was sent to the county Jail to await
investigation by the coming October
grand jury Monroe was arrested
Thursday at the instigation of Jaw
Dewey Of Richmond, Ind, who charged
misappropriation of $3.50 belonging to
the Starr Piano company of Richmond.
Notwithstanding the fact that Mon
roe's shortage with the company is
fixed in the affidavit at $50, it was
stated in court Friday by Mr.. Dewey,
assistant manager of the sales depart
ment Of the firm, that discrepancies
aggregating more than 1886 had been
found during a hasty investigation.
In sworn statement before the
court, Dewey referred to two or three
transactions made by Monroe and
claimed in each no return to the COM
pany had been made. According to
Dewey, w. G.. Straw, living near Ea
ton, purchased from Monroe a player
piano for 5000, which amount is $3.50
less than the regular selling price.
Dewey charges that Monroe failed to
make return to the company, but in
stead drew a note for the amount and
forged Straw's name to the document
At the home Of Charles J. VanAusdal,
northwest of this city, Monroe sold
$3.50 piano for $3.50, which amount he
appropriated to his personal use. Sew
eral checks Monroe signed and sent to
the company were protested by a To-
cal bank, Dewey asserts.
