TRY To GET BAIL
FOR INDIAN NEGRO

Effort is being made by attorneys
this morning to secure bail for the re-
lease Of sam Brown the negro who at
tackled a fellow countryman at the plant
of the American Steel Foundry on
Thursday.
Sam expresses himself as being very
repentent, not so much over the wound
which he inflicted. but because of the
fact that the trouble occurred at the
office Of the company who has favored
him in the past and for whose officers
he seems to hold a very high esteem
lie said that he had been i'll for some
time and that he firmly believes that the
man whom ne attacked had a knife in
his hand and proposed TO attack him;
that his only idea in resentng the at
tack was that OF self-defense.
He continually laments that he should
have been drawn into trouble Of this
kind at the office Of the American Steel
co. inasmuch as he has been employ
ment agent and a trusted employee OF
this company for some time. It seems
that when Lenzy was cut he ran into
the Office and among the stenographers
and bookl1eepers employed there. Great
ing good deal Of excitement among
the lady employees.
Brown is a native of the West Indies
and has been in this country for fifteen
years. having lived in East Chicago for
the past three years. He had been
fortunate in the accumulation of some
property, being the proprietor of cou-
pie of restaurants and owning some real
estate.

INDIANAPOLIS. IND. Jan. 49,
Members Of the senate committee ON or

troubles of Lake county lawyers at the

until after , o'clock. No action has yet
been taken by the committee. but it was
indicated that the bill viii be reported
favorably.
Members of the committee said after
the two and one-half hour session that
they did not relish the idea Of taking
the time Of the members from more inn
portant duties TO listen to the personal
views of Lake county lawyers ON Il
SUBJECT on which there IS little public
interest.
There apparently is lille public in
terest in this measure and the fight
seems to be between citizens of Ham

Iefferson,s Versatility.

jefferson once told his grandson
that from the time when, as boy,
he had turned off wearied from play
and first found pleasure in books. he
had never sat down in idleness. It
was his habit, in his intercourse with
all classes of men, to turn the con-
versation upon that subject with
which his companion was best &C
uuainted. Having drawn all the in
formation his companion possessed,
he noted it down in his memorandum
book, arranging it methodically and
fixing it in his memory. On one oc-
casion, while stopping at an inn, he
spent an evening with stranger,
who was so amazed at his learning
that he inquired of the landlord who
his companion might be. when ne
spoke of the law" said the stranger,
81 thought he was lawyer; when he
talked about mechanics. was sure
he was an engineer; when he got in
to medicine, it was evident that he
was a physician; when he discussed
theology, | was convinced that he
must be clergyman; when he talk,
ed of literature / made up my mind
that | had run against a college pro
fessor who knew everything. Will

WANT A JOB?

The government is still unable to
secure sufficient eligibles qualified
in stenography annd typewriting to
meet the needs Of the service.
1t is possible. even probable, that
at no distant date the number of
trained stenographers and typwriters
in the country will be less than the
number of positions calling for such
special knowledge. Obviously, the
thing to do is to encourage the train
ing of more stenographers and type
writers. Young men and women who
take up course of stenography and
typewriting are practically sure OF
an offer of Government employment
lat salary from 5000 to $1,000 a
year when they shall have qualified
in the Commissions examination:
Furthermore, by so doing they will
be serving their country in an hour
of trial. The demand for stenograph-
ers and typewriters in the govern
ment service is practically without
limit, and there is no present pros
pect that it will soon be less.
Persons now qualified in this work
are urged to file applications.
Examinations, to secure eligibles
for filling vacancies in the Depart,
ments at Washington, D. c., are held
on Tuesday of each week at all of the
larger cities in the United Staes.
Age limit, IS years or over on the
date of examination.
Application blank and pamphlet OF
instructions may be secured from the
undersigned atanytime.
