LABOR FLOUTED ON

WASHINGTON, Feb. 90 - Presi
dent Wilson's proposal for settlement
Of the railroad wage controversy, and
the compromise railroad bill, pending
in the senate, were bitterly ass2iled
in the conference here today of rail
road union officials and grievance
committeeman, who were called to
Washington to discuss the settlement
policy laid down by the president.
With it's supporters predicting a
speedy enactment, the compromise
railroad bill as passed in the house
Saturday by a substantial majority.
today was given the right of way in
the senate.
The peace treaty and all other
measures were laid aside temporarily
and leaders planned to take it up i'm
mediately after the reading Of Wash

Despite statements that union labor
forces would carry their fight into
the senate regardless of their defeat
in the house and tho bare possibility
of a filibuster that might delay pas
sage of the bill before March 1, the
date the roads are to revert to private
control, senate leaders expressed the
belief there would be little debate
and vote would come quickly.

The second hindrance to trade was

and no immediate improvement may
be expected in this weather.
The hogs received during the past

British Leaders Oppose
Turks Retaining Their
Hold on Constantinople

LONDON, Feb. 23.-Protests against
the Turks retaining their hold upon
Constantinople were made in several
churches here yesterday and the sub
ject continues to be conspicuously fea-
tured in newspapers of London and
other English cities. A number of the
most prominent people in the coun-
try, including the archbishops of Can
terbury and York. other leading clergy
men, university professors, literary
and scientific men and politicians,
have mcmorialiZed Premier Lloyd
George, earnestly opposing a policy
which would leave Constantinople in
Turkish hands.
A strong attack is made upon the
government by the Times which al.
leges that the present reversal OF
policy which Lloyd George and his
colleagues have adopted was not the
mere result of French pressure, but
was a British decision.
This entire change of front" the
Times says, deeply affects the moral
sense of the nation as well as its ma.
terial interests. The supreme allied
council and the government, unless
we are mistaken. will have to reckon
seriously with public opinion across
the Atlantic as well as at home. They
cannot impose as readily as they
hoped this new decree upon democrac-
les. We trust the peoples will vim
dictate their right to judge and decide
it for themselves

CITYS PART IN
Wild CRIME TALE,
TOLD BY BL0DGETT

story of criminals and crimes, in
which some of the most prominent
confidence people and counterfeiters
of the country played leading parts,
and in which one Richmond man took
a part on the side of the law, is told
by William Blodgett, in the Indianap-
oils News.
The story deals with the activities
of an old man, now broke and bent,
who spent his early days as a counter
feiter, and of the many incidents of
one time famous band of criminals.
Richmond has its place on the stage
of this strange story. for one of the
men in the band was arrested here
after passing counterfeit money.
Shofer Arrested Mccartney
Older residents of Richmond will
remember when, during the early
eighties, Lew Shofer, a member OF the
Richmond police force, became famous
throughout the country for effecting
the arrest of Pete Mccartney, at that
time one of the country's most des-
perate criminals. According to per-
sons who remember the affair, Nc,
CARNEY was arrested at the corner Of
Ninth and Main, after a fight.
He was placed in the county iali,
hclC II IL SidiIiitu, OIitIeu
$4,000 in gold, if the police officer
would allow him to escape.
This sensation was quickly followed
by the attempted murder of Gertie
briggs, by McCartney's wife Mrs.
briggs had been Pete's parnter, and
jealousy was said to have caused the
attack.
Much Money Passed
Although this was the only instance
where this famous band is known to
have operated here, many experiences
are recounted of counterfeit money
being passed through Richmond and
Wayne county. and it is thought that
the band operated here often.
Now, after 40 years, this entire
band, couEterfeiters. swindlers, conf
dence men, and plain burglars, has
all passed away. with the one excep-
ton, the old man who was brought
from the west, to a little home near
indianapolis, by Gertie briggs, the
girl he had taught the tricks of pass
ing counterfeit money, there to go the
way already travelled by his compan-
: ions in crime.
