WOMAN IS UNABLE TO
IDENTIFY A SUSPECT

A man giving the name OF M. McGln-
ley, and a resident of the east end OF
the city, today sat in police court fac
ing the charge of burglary.
Mrs Lulu Ryerson, 1905 Thirty
ninth street, whose home was robbed
on the night of Jan. q, related the
incidents regarding the burglary to
Justice Kuehl, but could not definitely
identify Mckinley as the man who en-
tered her home. He was released.
At her request Mckinley was arrest
ed last night by Patrolman William
Brough. The warrant charged him
with burglarizing the house and taxi
ing $941 from a pocketbook. Mrs.
Ryerson said the man looked like Nc
Ginley, but because the room was dark,
except for the light which came from a
pocket-f1ash, she could not positively
identify him. Mckinley denied any
implication in the job.
1t will be recalled that Mrs. Ryer-
sons home was entered, but because Of
fear that harm would come to her baby
she showed no fight and permitted the
intruder to secure the money.

TRA|NMEN STATE
CAUSED DEMAND
Eight Hour Day Asked Because OF
"OverlOading Method" Adopted
BY Railroads.
SAY HEALTH OF MEN SACRIFICED
Crews Unable to Make Their Mileage
On Scheduled Time and Com
panies Making Profit.
SAY HEALTH OF MEN SACRIFICED

Cleveland, Ohio, Feb. 10.-"The eight
hour movement is based wholly upon
the justice of work day of reason
able hours that will permit the men
further to separate the dead line be-
tween work and wages" says the first
official statement regarding the pend
ing controversy between railroads Of
the country and their train crews.
1t was issued here last night and
signed by W. S. Stone for the brother
hood of engineers w. S. Carter, for
the firemen and enginemen; L. E.
Sheppard, for the railway conductors,
and W. G. Lee, for the railroad train
men. These organizations claim to rep
resent 100000 employees on 52S lines.
Sacrifice Mems Health.
Overtime in road service is due al
most wholly to the practice of rail
roads overlooking trains so that they
cannot make their mileage within
their time limits the statement said.
1.-THE railroads are doing this for prof
it. they do not deny it, and if they
propose to demand extra service at
the sacrifice of the health and future
earning ability of the men, they should
pay extra for it."
Rates of pay in the eastern territory
were quoted at length to illustrate
wage conditions.
Not Due TO Business Boom.
The statement denied that the pres
ent demands lis based on peak earn
ings of the railways, due to the pres
ent boom in business; also that other
employees should suffer reductions to
meet any extra expense that the eight
hour day for trainmen might involve.
Whether the controversy is to lead
to a strike was pronounced a "ques-
ton that at this time is not a part of
the discussion" The organizations
ARE not opposed to arbitration, Meth
er are they pledged to accept" said
the statement, which added:
THE railroad organizations are
practically pledged to peace, but that
does not mean peace at any price. 1t
means peace with honor and not peace
at the sacrifice of justice.
THE organizations do not desire to
take issue with the public; they have
no disposition to take undue advantage
of it in any sense; they accept every
public responsibility. 1t is true that in
the past arbitrations the men were
disappointed and to some extent lost
faith in that method of adjustment of
differences, but there is neither war
rant nor authority for saying arbi-
tration will or will not be accepted

ACHES AND PAINS

Don't neglect a pain anywhere, but
find out what causes it and conquer the
cause. A pain in the kidney region may
put you on your back tomorrow Don't
blame the weather for swollen feet, it
may be an advance warning of
Bright's disease. A pain in the stom-
ach may be the first symptom of APP
pendicitis. A creak in joint may be
the forerunner of rheumatism Chronic
headaches more than likely warn you
Of serious stomach trouble. The best
way is to keep in good condition day in
and day out by regularly taking GOLD
MEDAL HARLEM OIL Capsules.

move its tracks from the alley. This
phase Of the case was unimportant,
however, as compared with the main
question of preventing use of the
building.
Judge Sees Future Growth.
The case went to trial last fall The
defendants claimed that the district
was manufacturing district and that
whatever noise there was from the
coal chute did not add materially to
the noise already prevalent there, due
to railroad trains, Third avenue cars,
and the noises from the various shops
of Moline's manufacturing establish
ments. They also averred that the
dust from the chute did not add ma
terially to the dust already in the
neighborhood.
Judge Ramsay ruled that:
The company must move its tracks
from the alley.
If it is possible to make the plant
dustproof, this must be done.
1t is not necessary for the court to
pass on the question as to whether or
not the district concerned is resi-
dence or a business district, for it is
both, but that if Moline grows in the
future as it has in the past it is impos-
sible to restrict the spread Of the man
ufacturing district.
The noise from the chute is not so
unusual that the defendants should be
restricted from operating legitimate
and necessary business.
Private property owners could not
legally complain, because the building
Is in compliance with the city build
ing code.
Concluding, Judge Ramsay stated
that he would not issue an injunction
to restrain the defendant from con-
tinuing in the coal handling business,
and that while it must make the
plant dustproof and put back the
tracks, he would not compel it to
stop operating the plant until this
work had been done. Neither, he said,
would he set a time when this work
should be done, but would only require
that it should be done within a rea-
sonable time.
The Lundahl company declares that
steps will be taken Immediately to
comply with the wishes of the court.

When you wake up with backacha

overworks the kidneys In their effort

When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them, like you

10 carry a part of the cost Of the wa
ter main and paving projects in the
territory annexed through the union
ordinance This will mean that the
city will use up the remaining $4,000
permitted for those improvements and
will be unable to declare bond issue
for any new projects outside of the
new territory at present.
All of which shuts out the southwest
storm drain. At least it follows that
the system this year will not be COM
pleted under the comprehensive plans
considered heretofore. 1t is probable
that one section of it will be built next
spring.
Build i'm Sections.
The city has an appropriation Of
$4,000 for this project and it is fig
ured that this sum with other amounts
the city can assess on property owners
will permit the construction of drain
on Eleventh avenue from Eleventh
street west to Ninth, thence east to
Sixteenth avenue and emptying into
the slough on Fifth street. This will
likely be done this year. Other sec
tons will be built as soon as appro-
priations are available and the system
will eventually be constructed accord
ing to the plans heretofore outlined.
The municipal commission is consid-
ering taking action soon on an ordi-
nance which will provide for the first
section.

1t is possible that the people may be
ENJOYING the prosperity of the country
now in existence without thinking that
it may be changed. 1t is the exper-
fence of the past that the public easily
forgets conditions that once prevailed.
The election is only a few weeks off
and while it appears reasonably GER
tain that the present administration
will be endorsed it might fail by reason
of the democrats not doing their duty.
The present great prosperity of the
country justifies an effort upon the part
Of every loyal democrat to do his ut
most to keep conditions as they now
are. Let it be remembered that there
has never been the general prosperity
that is now prevailing throughout the
United States, and that this country
has been kept at peace despite the
difficult problems that had to be dealt
with and that there has never been
such constructive. legislation enacted
that has dealt with the average citi-
zens; that all of the promises made by
the present administration have been
fully redeemed and that the legislation
has all proven beneficial. If there was
ever time for the independent voter
to use his influence it is now by sup
porting Woodrow Wilson.

EXTRAORDINARY
Situation Calls Forth The Following State
meni To Newspaper Readers.

To the Newspaper Readers of Ken
lucky:
The Executive Committee Of the Ken.
lucky Press Association wishes to bring
to the attention of newspaper readers,
and the friends of the press. the Sc.
1ous situation confronting the publish
ers at this time, ard point out some
facts which we feel should be commu-
nicated to you in our attempt to meet
conditions recently thrust upon US. We
do this after much thought on the
matter, feeling that we are acting for
the good of both publisher and reader.
Doubtless you have been. or will be,
called upon to pay few cents more on
your jobwork, and in some instances
more for your paper and advertising
rates have been at the minimum.
In the interest of free press we ask
you to meet the advance cheerfullv.
There may be ample excuse, slight
excuse or no excuse to advance the
prices on US as they have been ad-
vanced, but the fact remains that we
are paying from so to 500 per cent.
more for our paper stock, inks. oils,
gasoline, metal, ETC., than We did eight
months ago.
Paper makers insist that there must
be cutting down in the demand upon
them; that they are working three
shifts day. and that at this season of
the year when they should be accumu-
lating a reserve stock, they cannot
supply the demand. Large publishers
everywhere are trying to meet the
suggestion of the paper makers by the
strictest economy IN which they are
cutting down the size of paper. margins
and granting no return of unsold
papers. Small publishers have slight
opportunity to economic in this
manner. The Federal Trade Com
mission is deeply concerned and alarm.
ed but so far seem powerless to suggest
feasible or adequate relief methods.
CHuSi tAAstiHe NllGutllSldHCts lew
newspapers can continue long without
a readjustment. Hundreds of the
weaker ones have already gone under
and many more are about to suspend.
There is a remedy and it lies in the
strictest economy, advancement of
rates on job work, advertising and sub
scriptions. 1t matters not how re-
luctant publishers are to do this, it will
have to be doue if they continue in
business, and continue to be useful to
their readers and patrons.
In conclusion, we call on all persons
who believe in the mission of free
press to cooperate with US in adjust
ing our business to these new and UNI
heard of conditions.
