fell onto the prodigaPs neck with
tears OF great Joy and also ready to
put forth the very best of everything
available for the satisfaction and the
comfort of these Ito mel undesir-
ables. Yes, indeed, foist themselves
upon poor old parents that won't
endure to see the returned ones no;
have a plenty so long as the can
strip a garment from the shiyering
form that the prodigal ones may be
warm, even to take the needed COW
erlets and blankets from their beds
that the children Of their youth may
be kept warm. This we'll know. not
in my own case, but in the case of
others. It is a solemn fact that the
parent will give and give, then may
be give again to the last depth with.
out any sort Of counting Of the cost
to their own selves. This to me
makes the event all the more das-
tardly for their children to come
back and graft upon the old fathers
and mothers.
Many Of us have very likely known
and seen the bent back and dropping
shoulders plodding along, toiling long
and beyond their very strength, while
they support houseful nearly all
of whom are far more able tc get
out and work for the general up
keep Of the home and also say let's
pity the old folks that have for long
given up their very life blood for
such children. W. s. B.

SOME CHILDREN ARE PARASITIC

A fine and very noble school mate
Of mine was left widow With one
little boy and no money. This young
mother seeing what was in store fol
her and the loved one, just rolled
up her dress sleeves and went tc
work to support herself and little
boy through several years of hard
toll and sacrifice, taking in boarders
and doing other work at hand all for
the sake of her darling son that he
might not only have a good educa-
ton but properly clothed and fed and
housed in home not to be ashamed
Of.
And well I remember the joy OF
that mother when the boy finished
cut his college course and faced home
to meet his immortal mother, then
soon out into the world to seek his
living and fortune maybe. But,
instead of all this and with no we'll
filled pocketbook, back home he came,
and not alone but with wife and
baby for dear worn mother to care
for, but as mother was keeping a
boarding house so they, too, could
come and board.
It's all too true that the prodigal
sons and daughters are forever COM
ing back for the parents to still work
for and support when it should be the
heyday Of the old folks lives, and Oft
times I have wished that when the
fatted calf was slain for such as
these ingrates that the fates would
slip in a little rough on rats into
the veal, for If there is anything on
this old earth that is despicable and
that starts my blood as it should in
every honest breast, it is this. Too

1olent and with-all lazy son in the
full strength of his youth, come

Roumania Refuses
to Sign Treaty as
Dictated at Paris

Paris. Sept. 9.-The Roumanian del
esation to the peace conference an
nounced today that II would not sign
the Austrian peace treaty. the signing
OF which by Austria and various other
powers is said to\ take place at 10
o'clock tomorrow.
Before the Roumanian announce-
ment was made II had been Indicated
by members OF the supreme council
that Roumania was expected to take
the course she announced In refusing
to sign the treaty because the council
refused to allow her to make reserva-
tions In connection with the rights of
minorities in territories attached to the
former Austrian empire as provided for
in the peace treaty.
1t Is also considered improbable that
the Jugo-Slav delegation will sign the
treaty.
DR.. Karl Renner. the Austrian chan
celfor who is to sign the peace treaty
tomorrow for his nation, arrived in
Paris from eiVnna this morning.
Advices reaching the peace confer
ence from Budapest indicate the gov
ernment headed by Stephen Frederick
probably will remain in office indefi-
nitely. It is said that Franz Heinrich's
effort to establish coalition cabinet
has been abandoned.

Labor Trouble at Hammond,

With Fatal Clash.
FIFTEEN WOUNDED BY
VOLLEY OF BULLETS
Police Called to Disperse Mob Of For-
eign-Born Workmen Who Attacked
Men on Way to Work-Effort to Ar
rost Leaders Met With Sticks and
Stones and Officers Open Fire
Leaders Later Arrested.

Hammond. Ind, Sept. 9.--Five strik-
ers were killed and fifteen wounded
today in a battle between 1000 fornser
employees of the Standard Steel Com
pany and police.
Two months ago 1000 werkmen went
on strike for increased wages. Five
weeks ago there was riot between
strikers and police, in which mum
ber of persons were injured and Gov
ernor Goodrich sent regiment or
state militia to restore order. The
troops were withdrawn about week
ago. Yesterday 200 strikers returned
TO work.
Today while these men were on their
way to work, crowd of foreign-born
workers gathered in the street and
threatened them.
Twenty policemen and special guards
were rushed to the scene and the crowd
was ordered to disperse. The order
was greeted with jeers and shouts OF
"scabs." Capt. Ben Strong, in charge
of the police, then ordered the leaders
of the mob arrested. When the po-
lice attempted to execute the order the
mob attacked the police with sticks
and stones. The police retaliated by
firing about seventy five shots into the
crowd killing five and wounding hf-
teen. Later the strike leaders were
taken into custody and taken to jail.
None of the police was wounded IN
the fight.
Mob Led BY Ex-Soldier.
according to the police the mob or
strikers was led by Lieut.. Thomas
Skuba, 21 years old, a Pole recently
discharged from the United States ar
my. He wore his uniform and car
.ried an american flag. Later he was
arrested.
The fight lasted ten minutes. After
the first few volleys had been fired by
the police and special guards the crowd
scattered and ran for cover.
The authorities are taking precau-
tions against a recurrence of the
trouble when the 200 strikers who re-
turned to work leave the plant this ev-
ening.
Many Minor Injuries.
Physicians have dressed wounds OF
fifty persons, most OF the injuries be-
ing slight. The first report of flfteen
included only the seriously injured.

FAIRBANKS WILL CONTESTED.
Daughter Says Her Brothers Defeated
Plans of Father.

Indianapolis, Ind, Sept. s.-Mrs.
Adelaide F. Timmons. daughter ofithe
late Charles Warren Fairbanks, who
filed a suit in probate court in an at
tempt to break the will Of her father,
issued public statement in which.
she made serious charges against her
two brothers. Frederick c. Fairbanks
and Warren C. Fairbanks.
She charges that these two drafted
the will, which involves $S,000,0o0,
when Mr.. Fairbanks was SO weak and
blind that he was unable to compre-
hend the effect of his acts. Among
other charges, she declares that the
two brothers wrote in the will that
s5O, 900 should go to the city or Indi-
annapolis rs a memorial to her mother
when 1t was her fathers desire to give
$500. 900 for such memorial.
"I have brought the action to con-
test and set aside the will which has
been probatcdAs the will Of my father
because it Is not his will" the state
ment said. "The probated will was
drafted by my brothers, Frederick and
Warren, after father was 50 weakened
and enfeebled by disease that he was
unable to know and comprehend the
effect of his acts
"My father. as shown from his death
certificate, died from cerebral hemor-
rhage caused by chronic nephritis, The
disease in 1898, at the time OF the
death of my mother, Cornelia Cole
Fairbanks, was well advanced. Short
ly after her death he discussed and
planned a memorial for her In the
nature Of a s5OooOV bequest to the
city Of indianapolis. He at that time
elaborated the plan for maintaining
intact this contemplated beqnest,
which appears in the probated will IN
connection with the meager $50, 900 be-
quest which has caused father to ap-
pear ridiculous and the target for sar-
castle editorials and comments thru
out the country"
