STRIKERS CONFER
WITH GOVERNOR
Nashville Street Railway Head
Refuses to Negotiate.

NASHVILLE. Tenn, Aug. 28.-B. c.
Edgar. manager Of the Nashville Railway
and Light Company, has refused to me-
gotiate with representatives of the strik
ing street car employees for settlement
of the strike that has been in progress
here for a week.
At conference with Gov. A 81.
Roberts, the employees submitted their
proposed contract as a basis for nego-
tiations with the railway officials.
The proposals were those contained in
the contract asked by the union men at
the beginning Of the strike, except that
they agreed to omit the CLOSED shop
clause.
MIR. Edgar told the governor that the
company had the situation well in hand.
that the men were returning to work. and
that the company was not disposed TO
consider further any proposals made by
the employees.
He stated that the strike had been
called without notice to the company and
without previous effort for settlement of
the differences by arbitration.
Since the strike was started here high
tension wires furnishing Nashville with
electric current from Ocoe Falls have.
twice been burnt in two by chains being
thrown across the wires.
Authorities believe that the damage
was accomplished by union sympathizers
in order to prevent the operation Of
Nashville street cars.
Union officials deny that the men are
returning to work
They say they are satisfied with the
outcome Of the stike and viii hold out
against returning to their old jobs.

drives a flock of goats up the noun
tain, black-shawled woman goes to the
creek for water; blue smoke curls from
half a dozen chimneys.
On hilltop is gathered a little knot
of watchers.
From around a bend in the canyon
comes a monotonous, lugubrlous chant
and the crazy, screechlng music of a
sort of fife.
Then the procession or the penitentes
comes into sight. Perhaps there are
forty of them.
Each is naked save for pair of white
cotton drawers and a black bandage
about his eyes.
The foremost impersonates Christ ana
drags a huge wooden cross perhaps ten
feet high.
Each of the penitentes has his back
to bis heels, making long parallel
stripes on his brooches.
Some OF them beat themselves and
others beat those who walk in front of
them.
The whip Is huge, fiat, two handed
affair made by plating strands of the
amole weed or Spanish bayonet
The blows resound like the noise made
by slapping a man with wet towel,
for each Of the whips is wet with
blood
The procession slowly takes it way to
a high and lonely hilltop, where the
honored one who has been elected TO act
the part OF Christ is fastened upon the
cross.
Formerly he was nailed and often. he
died.
Now he is generally fastened with
ropes, which is bad enough. since he
often turns purple from arrested cir
culation Of the blood.
Thus does the peuitente. IN the med
ieval simplicity Of his faith. express his
belief in the potency Of Christ's sacr1-
fee.
II Jesus bled to atone for the sins
Of men, who should not the pentente
bleed for his own sins?

ear Of a friend.

OF the Shrine picnic at Broad Ripple

phatlcally in the affirmative.
We'll" whispered the Shriner just
follow this rore and on the other end
you will find white mule"
The friend took the advice, and, after
following the rope all over the park,
stopped under the roller coaster, where
was tied snow white mule.
But near the mule was a quantity
of liquid and cup.
The friend of the Shriner proceeded TO
drink deeply of the liquid, which proved
to be strictly soft"

PUSS IN BOOTS JR.
BY David Cory.

Now let noe see. What was Puss
Junior doing in the last story? oh, yes,
| remember now, he was riding to town
In a wagon so brown and the pretty
young maid with the yellow sunshade
was singing song as they ratified
along.
Dear me! Why didn't I get my type
writer to put this in verse, for 1t
rhymes, you know, and If you don't
know 1t, read 1t over, for a little bird
who was sitting on a tree, thought it
was very pretty verse, and when the
pretty maid sang It over again, she
flew after the wagon and sat herself
down on the back seat and began to
sing this song:
Over the hills and far away,
/ must be flying every day,
For I'm as free as the breezes that blow.
Free as the brooks that swiftly flow,
Down the hill to the great mill pond
And then away to the sea beyond
The meadow bright with the morning
dew
TIL they reach the ocean deep and blue.
And then the little bird flew away.
Perhaps she wanted to find out whether
the sparkling brook had reached the deep
blue ocean, And perhaps she didn't for
she might have had a nest full of little
yellow birds, you know, and went back
to feed them
Well, very soon the wagon in which
Puss and the pretty maid were riding
entered Bramble Bush Town, and Of
course Puss was anxious to see the
Wisest man in all the town,
Who In the brambles tumbled down
And scratched out both his big blue eyes,
And then. to everyone's surprise,
lie jumped back in the bramble glen
Ana quickly scratched them in again.
And just then up came this wise man.
Butch, dear me! he looked just like
any other man. Why, ne didn't look

GIVES OUT SUGAR
SHORTAGE WORD
State Purchasing Agent Indi-
Gates Sept. Is as Date.

Indiana stands today in the face Of
another serious shortage Of sugar, which
is scheduled to arrive about Sept 10.
according to letter forwarded TO state
institution heads today by Maurice Shell
ton, state purchasing agent.
Speculation in raw sugar is attributed
as the cause OF the next shortage, accord
ing to information received by Mr.. Shell
ton from renneFs.
II was stated that the sugar which
has been on sale In Indianapolis groceries
for some time AT a decidedly reduced
price, was placed on the market because
Of the calling in by banks Of loans to
sugar spectators.
When the loans were called In the
spectators dumped their product on the
market. at reduced prices. because they
had made their large profit on the COM
modify.
As a consequence the refneries sugar
has taken n slump in the market.
Advice to dealers Is that the specu-
ladve sugar supply will have been ex-
hausted by Sept. Is. and that at that
time the rehner Will place his product
on the market at a decidedly increased
price
The manipulations in sugar. It is estl-
mated, are causing a loss OF $1,000 a
month to each OF the 100 sugar jobbers
in Indiana.
