Campus Loss
Death Ends 18 Years of
Service for Arsenal
Work Horse.

old Bob may have been only
~ a common old work horse at
Arsenal Technical High School,
but his death last week is a mat
ter of profound regret to pupils
and employees of the school.
Tuesday night school board
members paid tribute to the old
horses eighteen years of faithful
service at the school. His age was
estimated at forty-three years, by
Carl Burton, assistant buildings
and grounds superintendent.
The matter was brought to the
boards attention by Eurton's
regular report, which, under the
heading, appointments. promo
tons, designations, Deaths" re-
corded passing of Old Bob.
Ever since the start of Arsenal
Technical schools, Old Bob has
been a campus pet, being used for
light work such as hauling a light
wagon, and pulling a lawn mower.
He always had the run of the
entire campus at night, never Ieav-
ing the campus through the I'M
locked gates.
Although he had lost all his
teeth, Old Bob still had the habit
of playfully "nipping" empoyes
and pupils of the school. His food,
for years, had been ground care
fully and specially prepared for
him because Of his dental de-
ficiencies.
One evening last week the
veteran work horse ate his usual
meal. The next morning he was
found dead in his stall. 4.
IT don't know what Old Bill pal
Of Old Bob, will do without his
stallmate," Eurton said.

think of accepting. Thank God, I
had the courage to refuse them"
In the course of Governor Ed
Jackson's trial for alleged bribery,
McCray testified that Jackson Of
fered him $4,000 and immunity
from conviction if he would ap-
point James E. Mcdonald, Indian
apolis attorney, as Marion County
prosecuting attorney to succeed Will
liam P. Evans, McCray's son-in-
law, who had resigned.
On the stand McCray looked at
his successor in the governorship,
and told how he had spurned the
offer with the reply,
IT said it looked like I was going
to lose my fortune that I had worked
for for thirty-f1ve years; my Office
is threatened and it looks like they
want to take away my liberty, but
will not surrender my self
respect!"
Notable accomplishments Of Nc
Crays administration we're all but
lost sight of when his personal af-
fairs usurped the spotlight.
IT worked fifteen hours day for
the State" the Ex-Governor said,
while my own business was going to
the bad"
Education, roads, public build
ings and other State projects in
volving millions of dollars were adj
vanced under his direction without
accusation of misrepresentation OF
one cent.
1.-THE people of Indiana have not
forgotten" said McCray that
under my management eighty-seven
| public buildings were constructed,
including the reformatory, costing
100000 without a thought of a
penny of graft. Forty millions Of
dollars we're spent on roads with
out a thought of fraud"
McCray began acquiring the land
now embraced in the Orchard Lake
stock farm in 1889. The additional
$40 acres included in the deal lie
about six and ten miles north of
the 2,000-acre farm. One, of 240
acres, embraces a part of the old
AIcCray homestead farm which the
ex-Governor's father acquired when
he came to Newton County in 1852
The other, of 400 acres, is practically
new land, being part Of a large
tract held until 1918 by pioneer
who used it for pasture.
Bit by bit, McCray added to his
acreage at the Orchard Lake farm,
until it was pronounced the most
practically arranged and best COM

Here it was then that McCray cen
tered his attention on the breeding

cattle. From 500 to 1000 head were
constantly on hand. Herefords
from the Orchard Lake farm were
sent to all parts OF the United
States and to many foreign coun-
tries. The annual auction sales at

event in the Nation.

LIFE OF CITY
AT STAKE AS
$4,000 STRIKE
New Bedford Faces Crisis
With Capital and Labor
Standing Firm.
BY FRANK MURPHY
United Press staff Correspondent

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Aug. l.
Here is one of Americas biggest
textile centers, the forces of Capital
and Labor are waging a grim and
stubborn battle, with the industrial
life of the city at stake.
Today, nearly sixteen weeks aft
er $4,000 mill hands went on strike
in protest against 10 per cent wage
cut, New Bedford is beginning to
feel rather seriously the effects of
the most desperate labor strife in
its history.
But while the city struggles I'M
der the burdens thrust upon it by
crippled industry, there is no sign
of weakening in the ranks of either
the manufacturers of the striking
operatives.
Both sides appear as determined
as on that April day when flfty-siX
mills, with nearly 100000 spindles
and more than $4,000 looms, we're
closed abruptly.
Loss High in Millions
Already, the strike represents a
payroll loss of close to $10,000,000,
and this figure will be increased by
about 100000 during each succeed
ing week of the dispute.
AT first it was only a war Of words
between the manufacturers and the
strikers, the strikers and the police,
and the conservative strikers and So
called radical strikers.
But deeply-sown seeds Of trouble
grew. The strikers persisted in
mass picketing was illegal, and
acted accordingly. There were dem
onstrations, mild at first and later
riotous.
Bayonets Are Used
Sticks and stones replaced words
as weapons. Fixed bayonets ap-
peared in the hands of National
Guardsemen, called out to quell the
rioting. There was bloodshed as
pickets clashed with police. Whole
sale arrests followed.
A telephone voice informed John
Sullivan, president of the Cottor
Manufacturers Association, that his
home would be dynamited, anc
throughout last night police guard
ed his residence.
The city was peaceful today, but
one was conscious of an undercur-
rent of ill-feeling fraught' witt
| danger.
Strangely enough, whereas the
city's banks, stores and theaters are
experiencing a serious financial re-
action from the strike, the striker;
themselves and their families appear
to be getting along rather well, de-
spite the great loss in wages.

A Favored Territory

The lines of the Illinois Central Sys-
tenn are woven into the economic heart
of the United States. Within the four
teen states that are crossed or touched
by this railroad are the nations centers
of population, improved farm acreage,
agricultural production, mineral pro
duction, industrial activity and rail
way mileage.
The 38,O0O,O0O people of this terri
tory consume approximately one-thlrd
of all the domestic products Of the entire,
country. Besides they constitute
greater market for the worlds goods
moving in international trade than any
foreign nation except Great Britain,
Germany and France.
These fourteen states contribute
nearly one-half of the two billion dol
lars worth of farm crops and livestock
exported annually from the United
States, besides helping to sustain the in
habitants and industries of other states.
Within these fourteen states are pro-
duced "a per cent of the worlds cotton,
10 per cent of the worlds tobacco, 40
per cent of the worlds corn, 16 per cent
of the worlds oats and Is per cent Of the
worlds swine
These states likewise produce II per
cent of the worlds lumber, ID per cent
of the worlds coal, 9 per cent of the
worlds petroleum and SO per cent of the
worlds iron ore. They have more than
$4,000 manufacturing plants, employ
ing more than 100000 wage earners
and turning out every year products
valued in excess of $4,000, 100000.
Railway transportation is powerful
factor in the economic life of this great
central region of the United States.
Constructive criticisms and sugges-
tons are invited.
