two guns defying the appaoach of
anyone.
Bartlett. world war vetrsan re-
ceived a number of wounds IN bat

government had gradually decreas-

a meager sum. Crazed from worry
over this matter, NE imagined the
war was still in progress, and arm

attempted several times to approach
him and obtain the guns, unable to
do this Sheriff Gibson was called,
who also at first failed to overcome
the situation. The sheriff, after long
hours of persuasion, finally came
within distance to obtain the guns.
He was handcuffed and brought TO

OFFICIALS CLOSE DOORS
ON LOCAL SHOPCRAFT

F. r. Lee, chairman of the Wabash
Federated Shop Crafts, handed the
Democrat the following statement
one day the latter part of last week:
"We have done everything possible
to bring about settlement and were
fair and honorable. i met Mr.. Hess
at Decatur on last Thursday night,
and stated that we would like tc go
into conference and bring about set
tlement, get the men back to work
and. 60 along and do all we could to
help put the Wabash on the map. Mr..
Hess was unable to settle. He went
to st. Louis on Friday, took the mat
ter up with Mr.. Cotter and Mr.. Taus-
sig, and came back to Decatur. We
met him on Saturday and he inform
ed us that Mr.. Taussig had with
drawn his proposition and would not
meet us. and he. could not settle. I
red Cotter Sunday adv sing him
trat we would be in st. Louis Mon
Cay and would like very much to
meet him. He wired back tra: he mad
noIing to offer and was no. prepar-
ed,tc meet us. / went 70 st Louis
with the committee anyway and en-.
deavored to get a meeting with Mr..
Taussig. He refused to meet US or
to have anything to DO with US what
ever. .s
1--WE have done our part and are
willing to meet them any time thai
they wish to settle up on the Willard
Jewell basis. Otherwise, we have
nothing to talk about. Other reads
are settling and taking all the oil
men back in the same staining as of
July 1st, and if the Wabash wishes
to be absolutely unfair we can con-
tinue the fight. There have been rs
roads that have settled and they have
all taken their old men back, and
there has not been any road that has
gone back any other way. The Wab-
ash did not offer us anything that We
could accept at our first meeting.
The old men would only be rehired as
new ones lose all thier seniority
and pass privileges and everything,
and we were told we would have to
sign up a new agreement for two long
years giving up most all our rules,
and agree to even submit anything 10
the labor board. We could not accept
this and do not intend to accept il.
''The Wabash is taking an arbitrary
stand and feel, suppose, that they
can starve the men into submission
and we would starve, rather than go
back like a bunch of whipped ours.
We are ready and willing at any time
to,meet the officials and do not care TO
prolong this struggle further. Mr..
Cotter and Mr.. Tassig are making it
a cold-blooded business proposition
now and are endeayoring to destroy
the organization, and so long as they
hold out in this manner, and arc un-
willing to let any of the human side
enter into it, we will have to carry
on until we get a fair and satis-
factory settlement. If big men ike
Daniel Willard and David Warfeld

for Army Nurse

during the late war that the army

the same apparatus as the nurse In
any civilian hospital.
Nor Is the army nurse taught only
the technique needed in treating battle
cirses. She goes through the same
course of training that the civilian
nurse does.
One of the instructors points Out
with patriotic pride that the army
school is n of the few schools OF
nursing in the country that is able to
cover the entire course recommended
by the League f Nursing education.
"The army can do this" said the
nurse instructor. because the students
are OF ward duty less than in most
hospitals. And then, TOO there are SO
many instructors from the army medi-
cal school who can be called on to lee
ture for us.
Besides the unusual opportunity Of
studying with so many specialists. the
army nurse student has an opportunity
to visit and study in other hospitals.
There is no provision for teaching pub

We have such a school, but it exists

sound. Congress is to be asked, there

have gone into private hospitals,

There is need for every one of them.
for there are never enough nurses

seems. 1t is because of this great need
for well-trained nurses and because it
is an economy to the government to
get it's nursing lone partly by STU
dents-as most hospitals do-that the
army school of nursing expects to con-
tinue.
The school is really two schools.

the greater part of the students. but
to make it easier for Western girls to
take the course, training is also given
in San Francisco at the Letterman

the prominent subject in any army

as models for dressing imaginary

Shipped in Disguise.

Some come by express, disguised as
other commodities, II even some have
been known, ii Was SAID, to come
through safely by parcel post. Agents
on the staff Of Director Day have
seized liquors arriving here from
Southern ports by boat, and also
liquors coming in from the South by
rail. In all instances the liquors were
shipped as some liquid or Good com
modify, and perhaps would have es-
capped detection at this e'ld OF the line
but for the observation made by the
point.
In line with the information Direc-
tor Day has received on the situation
IN Southern states is the story told
by Frederick T.. Walker, who has re-
turned from a visit to New Orleans.
Miami and points in Georgia and the
Carolinas.
Il never thought it possible for
smuSglers to get SO much liquor into
the South as it appears they arc now
doing" said Mr.. Walker. Take New
Orleans, for instance. Thousands of
cases of liquor are being brought into
n a port, according to all reports,
and after studying the map a little
could appreciate the ease with which
1t could be done. Shallow-draft boats
can come around from Gulfport into
Mississippi Sound and into the canal,
along which there is a wide area
suitably adapted for unloading the
contraband goods.
while the hotels In New Orleans
are, for the most part, strictly ohsery-
ing the law. there are thousands OF
other places where liquors can be sold.
The general agents under Mr.. Yellow
ley who spent several weeks in New
Orleans found the problem there much
difficult than in New York city.
and 1t is quite certain that their eff
forts did not diminish by one drop
the supply OF wet goods.
Even Bell Hops Solicit.
But over in Miami. Fla, it is an
other story as regards the hotels. As
you are being taken to your room In
The elevator the bell hop gives you

secret service man, yet the bell hops

ders before | had reached my room.
"Compettion is SO keen in Miami
and In many other places in the South
that the prices are less than half what
they are In New York city. Good
Scotch can be had at retail at Sc a
quart. while In the city the price is S13
to $40, except In the ultra-fashionable
places, where you pay as much as $40
a quart. BY the case you can buy
the best brands Of Scotch Whistles for
$50 to $50, and l suppose in large
quantities you can get it ever cheaper.

to the general talk all along the line.
