and wearing a small dark turban hat
that afforded a clear view of her
features, mounted to the stand. She
sobbed as she sat in the chair and
when the questioning began she

kerchief and tried to smile.
The way for her entrance had
been paved by previous witnesses

relatives and friends of the family
on the night that Peters was killed.

smile Mrs. Ward calmly answered

TYPOS WANT NEW
 HOME IN FLORIDA
Would Build in South in Addition to
 Place in Denver.

Indianapolis, Ind, Aug. II.-Repre- sentatiyes of Florida printers unions will urge the establishment of new Union Printers Home, to be located in Florida, in addition to the Home at Colorado Springs, Colo, before the convention of the International Typo graphical Union in Atlanta, Ga, in August, according to information reaching headquarters of the interna- tional union here.
 Supporters of the project suggest that the climate of Florida Is especial ly salubrious for older persons and that a home located in that state could accommodate superannuated printers, while union members af1ict- ed with lung troubles could be sent to Colorado Springs.
 "In the perpetual sunshine of Flor ida's great outdoors where little shel- ter is required are found health, hap piness and long life,' Palm Beach printer has written And contrary to the common idea, summer is as ideal as winter, heat prostration being unknown in the annals of the state department of health

 MAKES MISTAKE
Tries to Bite Friendly A. F. L. Hand
 But Doesn't Succeed.

Washington, Aug. II-In a paper owned and edited by w D. Brown, attorney and legislative agent of an unaffiliated organization of rural letter carriers, 1t Is stated that in the last I5 years A. F. of L. Secretary Frank Morrison appeared once before a congressional committee in behalf of rural carriers, and that is the only time representative of the A. F. of L. has appeared in that capacity. Tn taking sharp issue with Attorney Brown, Secretary Morrison said:
 Apparently strong trade union sentiment is permeating the ruraf communities, and this is reflected Tn ter carriers for A. F. of L. af1liation, which 'Mr. Brown opposes.
 "He Is pursuing the tactics of reac- ton in attacking the A F. of L. Those methods will do the rural letter carriers no permanent good, and I doubt If he speaks for any consider able number of rural carriers.
 Carriers familiar with the facts know of the great fight made by the | A. F. of l.. to restore to them their right of direct petition through the enactment of the anti-gag law. They i also know of the successful efforts of i the A. F. of L. for wage legislation, i retirement legislation, compensation- l for-injury acts and other important measures.
 l "I join with Mir Brown in wishing 1 that rural carriers were not located i hundreds Of miles from the nations capital, and that they could secure l hrst-hand information through direct contact. In that event they would
 soon learn of the Hnity of wage work CTS, under the banner of the A. F. of

Hugh Wallace Was Slugged
and Robbed in St. Paul
Attack Made Without Warning Mon
day Night in Downtown District
of City-Taken to City Hospital

Monday evening of this week as
Hugh Wallace, son of the Herald
editor was walking on Wabasha, be-
tween Eighth and Ninth streets, St.
Paul, he was slugged and robbed of
between $4,000 and $35 100.
The young man had no intimation
of the approaching danger and he
does not know whether more than one
person attacked him. When he re-
covered consciousness he was lying
in a doorway and was badly cut
about the face and head. He made
his way to the ST. Francis Hotel
about block and la-half distant,
where he is we'll known, and asked
the night clerk to give him a room
and send for physician. An am
bulance was ordered and he was TAX
EN- to- the City Hospital, St. Paul,
where the wounds on his face and
head were dressed, the wound over
the right eye bing the most serious
and indicating that he was hit with a
blunt instrument of some kind.
His mother went to ST., Paul on
Tuesday Moons train, and although
still weak from the loss of con: d.
cradle blood, Hugh expects to be able
to return with her Friday evening.
The police department brought a
suspect to the hospital Wednesday
morning but Hugh could not identify
him, nor can he. identify his assail-
ant, as he did not see anybody before
he was assaulted.
