STOREKEEPER is HELD UP
CoIored Bandit Pokes Gun Into Face
Obtains Zero.

A colored hold-up man failed to
get any loot early today when he
entered the store Of Joseph Mendall,
704 Indiana Ave.
Mendall told Sergeant Nagelieson
he went out of the store to get some
bread. and when he entered again
he looked into the barrel of a gun.
Mendall said the man commanded
him to open the safe, and when he
told him he could not, the bandit
searched his pockets and obtained
nothing. Mendall said he knew the
bandit.

Rain during the morning damp
ened somewhat hopes for a record
crowd later in the day.
1t was a happy. care-free throng
with a wide variety of tastes which
gathered and there was amusement
and points of interest for all.
Never was the fair in better
shape when the gates opened. All
exhibits were in place and there was
mono Of the hub-bub and last-ninute
turmoil Of placing exhibits which
have at times marred past fairs.
Horse races, exhibits. circus fea-
lures. livestock. poultry, horticul-
ture and Horticulture exhibits. horse.
shoe pitching contests, boys and
girls clubs Of all kinds. and airplane
stunt performances all drew their
portion Of the great crowd.
Bigger Than Ever
Bigger, better, more comnIete than
ever was the general verdict reached
by the throng after looking over
the grounds. The visitors found
that new buildings to the value Of
more than s1.000,000 had replaced
old. obsolete frame structures. They
found stock and machinery worthy
of worlds fair; they learned of
a premium list of more than sos. 900
the largest offered by any State fair
in the corn belt States; they found
the lineup of horses for the harness
race events included some of the
speediest equine fliers in the Nation.
and they found variety of amuse-
ment features sufficient to satisfy
the most jaded palate.
One Of the biggest drawing cards
for early arrivals was the auto show
in the manufacturers building. Old
timers recalled that only a decade
ago an automobile exhibit at the fair
was a rarity and occasioned only
mild comment and cursory interest.
Now the automobile dealers and
manufacturers are finding their best
markets in rural communities. and
special efforts are made to make the
best possible displays at fairs. A
number of concerns placed their new
models on display for the first time.
1t was noticeable the proportion of
closed cars on display was higher
than ever before.
Boys and Girls See City
Following a day Of sightseeing
about the city Sunday, $50 boys and
girls from the farm club camp and
home economics school of the fair
were busy getting their exhibits in
shape.
Forty Of the boys answered the
dinner call Sunday, the first In the
camp, and the fare set out by Miss
Ruby Clark was more than satisfac-
tory. -
Registration is in charge of NJ. L.
Hall, director.
An informal reception and review
of work Of Indiana artists was held
Sunday afternoon in the woman's
building.
Prominent among the canvasses
exhibited are those of T. C. Steele.
William Forsythe, Otto Stark, Ran
dolph c. Coats, Simon P. Baus, Cliff
ton Wheeler, Edward r. Sitznen.

EN- ROUTE WITH JOHN W.
DAVIS. Sept. 1.-As far as labor is
concerned John ". Davis. Demo
cratic standard bearer intends to
write his own platform.
Confidential advisers who have dis
cussed with Davis the Labor Day

In fact they say that the country

While Davis speaks before the
Ohio Valley Trades and Labor As
sembly in a non-partisan spirit. his
advisers say there is nothing to pre-.
vent him from giving a clean cut
exposition Of his views regarding
the rights and opportunities Of labor.
This. they say he intends TO do.
Platform Be Hanged
Davis does not intend to be
limited by the Democratic platform.
his intimates say. If his views do
not conform to the platforn--so
much worse for the platform, they
declare.
In his Wheeling speech, his ad-
visers say that he will fully explain
his views on the three points that
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, de-
manded but fafled 10 have written
into the Democratic platform.
The first Of these is a straight-out
declaration for the child labor
amendment TO the American Consti-
tuition.
The second is a reputation Of the
railroad labor board and a declara-
ton for collective bargaining.
The third is that the Governments s
alleged abuse Of injunctions in labor
disputes.
On all three Of these questions,
his intimates say that Davis is pre-
pared to go as far as. if not further,
than Senator La Toilette, independ-
ent candida for President.
Managers Confident

Act As Umpires

The department has at all times,
Hennihg said, expert men with labor
experience keeping an eye on indus
tw. giving counsel to factions for
the purpose of conciliation. If there
is a strike, the labor representative
acts as umpires, but the department
has been able TO avoid go per cent
Of the disputes before reaching the
strike stage.
THE labor department has been
fortunate. in that since it's organiza-
tion. the two secretarys have been
Hoosiers-W. B. Wilson. from In
dianapolis. and James J. Davis, also
from Indiana.
Henning declared that three years
ago there were 100000 men walk.
ing the streets in America out of a
job, and that today there are few
unemployed. He said that during
the past three years, the twelve-hour
day had been practically abolished,
and the seven-day week, which had
its last bulwark in the steel indus
try in Indiana, done away with.

The number of union members
present at the speaking was esti-
mated at from 5000 to 10, 900 by
members Of the Labor day commit

John E. Smith. president Of Cen
trail Labor Union, introduced Hen

a number Of group meetings were

In the afternoon the visitors spent
the time as they pleased. Many Of

A union label exhibit, unique and
interesting proved a. special point Of
interest in the Manufacturers Bldg.

The exhibit contained a complete
display of union labels and was in
charge of Smith. The exhibit will be
kept open throughout the fair.
A special fireworks display was to
