apparent that Mother Jones last
struggle had ended.
Last May l Mother Jones-she
was seldom known by her full
name of Mrs. Mary Harris Jones
celebrated her Tooth birthday.
Labor leaders from all over the
country gathered at the Burgess
/ home.
The day was a great one for
Mother Jones in another respect,
for a telegram arrived from John
D. Rockefeller Jr., of the family
against whom she had fought bit
terly
Hes a damn good SPORT said
Mother Jones with her picturesque
method of expression. 1--we licked
him many times, but now we've
made peace"
On the ninety-frst birthday of
John D. Rockefeller ST., Mother
Jones wired him:
THANK God we have some men
in the world yet as good as you"
Mother Jones had been to jail be-
cause of her agitation against Rock
efeller interests.
In black dress and bonnet she had
gone into the fields and led the men
into battle against the things the
family represented.
Held Some Old Enmities
She had seen machine gun and
bayonet in action, as in the Lud-
low (Colo.) killings of 1914, when
mine guards shot down twenty-one
women and children and a dozen
men
Other old-time enmities were not
so easily forgotten. She gave $1,000
a few weeks ago to continue her
campaign against President John
L. Lewis of the United Mine Work.
ers of America.
Later she tore up her will and
contributed her savings, about $10,-
900, to the cause of labor.
Mother Jones remembered all her
life the day British soldiers broke
into their little home in Cork and
ransacked the place looking for
her father, even tearing down a
chimney. He had escaped from
Jail, and with seven others took a
boat to the United States. A year
later he sent for the family, and
they lived first in Vermont.
Educated in Convent
Mary Harris-that was her name
then-was educated in a Montreal
convent.
She married George Jones of
Memphis, Tenn, in 1861, the first
year of the Civil War, and was a
nurse during the struggle between
the North and South.
AS young mother she faced her
first tragedy and learned the
fortitude which later enabled her to
face judges and jails calmly.
Her husband and three children
died in yellow fever epidemic.
She prepared their bodies for the
death cart and sat alone in the
house ten days before the quaran-
tine was lifted.
Then she bravely took up her
life again and established a dress

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-Govern-

CITY TROLLEY
FRANCHISE WITH
insult STUDIED
Series of Public Meetings to
Be Held Regarding
Proposal.

a series of public meetings will
be held within the next few weeks
when the question of the city enter
ing into a franchise with the insult
interests and the attitude of the
public toward the reorganization Of
the Indianapolis Street Car Com
pany will be sought, E. Kirk Nc
Kinney, chairman of the board Of
public works and chairman of the
city's committee on the franchise,
declared today.
Mckinney and members of the
committee today received the type
written volume of eighty pages
which sets out the rehabilitation
program and the terms of the pro-
posed service at cost" franchise.
A copy was left with Mayor Reg

The plan comedies in the main
with that which was published
when the announcement of the re-
organization program was made two
months ago.
Valued at S1I,25C,OOO
The outstanding feature is the
valuation of the property of the
street car company at $11 ,25O,O00.
This valuation is exclusive of the
Traction Terminal building and
adjacent real estate.
Securities said to total more
than S18,000,O0O had been issued
by the former operators of the COM
pany and the reduction in valuation
represents a loss to stockholders of
$6,75O, 900.
Immediate expendituret of So
100000 on new equipment, tracks
and overhead work, is promised in
the franchise.
The franchise also leaves open a
path toward the purchase of the
street car system by the city. 1t
provides that the lines may be
purchased after six months notice
for $11, 100000, plus any capital in
vestments made by the corporation.
This would make the purchase
price, after the new rolling stock
and equipment is purchased, ap-
proximately $20,0O0,0OO
Fares May Go Up or Down
If the city should agree to the
terms of the franchise a legalizing
act will be submitted to the 1881
legislature which would provide for
a city transportation commission
and take from the public service
commission the power to fix bus and
street car fares in Indianapolis.
This is extremely vital as the

Elements TN Natural Gas.

NATURAL gas is sort Of chemical "IIumpty

temperatures The high temperatures break
it up into its many elements, and when the
temperatures are lowered the resulting prod

riovS elements unite as the temperature drops,
but they form entirely new compounds.
This process Of treating the gas Is known e.
pyrolysis or cracking. In cracking, hydrogen -
always set free and, by suitable means, can be
isolated and used commercially. It's major
uses are as reducing agent in the process
industries, the INCORPORATION Of mineral and
vegetable oils and coal: the synthetic prOduc-
ton OF ammonia and fertilizers and as q re-
frigerant. Other gases formed in the pyrolysas
OF natural Gas are acetylene, butadiene ethy-
lene, prcpylene and butylene.
Acetyleh is used in welding and cutting
metal and may be used to prepare acetahde-
hyde. which IS further used in silyering mirrors
or in the preparation Of medicinals such as
