The collection is a part of Mr..

his father, DR.. Winslow S. Pierce,
in the mid-nineteenth century.
Consisting largely of standard
American and British authors, to-

is one of the most valuable acuuisi-

Biographies and speeches of emf

themselves form a valuable research

are fine old editions, now almost

POLICE TRADE
JAIL CELL FOR
LESSON IN ART
Collector Arrested When
Stolen Statues Bob Up
in Bookstore.
Police, despite demotions and pro-

Police, despite demotions and pro-
motions, are learning about art.
In fact today they were becoming
real esthetic as they gazed upon
The Speckled Lady and "Bas-
cante."
And they were becoming arty in
spite of Charles Epperson, 81, of
Louisville, KY, who is held on vag-
rancy charges in connection with
the theft of the two statues from
the John Heron Art Institute and
the central public library.
For to EpperSon, THE Speckled
Lady is but piece of terra Gotta"
and MacMonnies' "Baccante" is just
"a woman holding a child and
bunch of grapes in her hand"
Left in Bookstore
A few months ago 1.-THE Speckled
Lady, was stolen from an art ex-
hibit of Elmer Daniels, city Sculp-
tor, at the library while the BAG
cante"-a bronze statue-was taken
from the art institute.
No trace of the two statues could
be found until Tuesday when L. L.
Dickerson, city librarian, received a
call from Anthony Russo, owner of
the Hoosier bookstore, 335 Massa-
chusetts avenue, that man who
left box of books and statues in
his store had returned to call for
the box.
Police were sent to the bookstore
and arrested Epperson. 1.-The
Speckled Lady," ceramic statue of
glazed green finish with spots on its
nude figure, and the "Bacante" were
in the box.
Bought Them in Park
Epperson's explanation of the
statues wedding themselves to him
is:
L was sitting in University place
park when a fellow comes up to me
and says, DO you want to buy some
books on art and a couple of stat
ues" 1 says Yes because I'd been
hgurlng on starting an art store
and selling old books.
THE fellow said he was needing
the money badly and so, just to help
him out, I bought the box for one
dollar"
But police in their educational
course in art learn that THE
Speckled Lady" and "Baccante."
have been inSulted grievously by the
"one-dollar" sale and, as a conse-
quence, scout Eppersons story.
Valued at $3.50
The "Baccante" is valued at $500
and THE Speckled Lady" at $50,
police and art critics say.
Both statues will be restored to
their owners.
Books found in the box were from
the Indiana state library and the
public library. Their subject mat
ter pertained to the esthetic value
of paintings.
The police didn't learn that from
Epperson, but from reading a few
snatches of the prefaces.

the world do not mean the laying
of small wagers for fun-is vice

AS question of principle, the
problem OF divorce in Nevada is no
different for the bishop of Reno
than any other Catholic bishop.
Nevada isn't unique by reason Of
the multiplicity with which the di-
vorce mill grinds.
Divorces are. obtainable as easily
and as quickly in many other places.
What does make Nevada the divorce
mecca is the absolute freedom
granted for immediate remarriage.

WAGE HEARING
PLEAS LIMITED
TO SET ISSUES
Objection of Street Railway
Attorney Is Upheld by
Singleton.
SPLIT SHIFT ASSAILED
Employees Detail Grievances
Against System Now
BEING Used.
SPLIT SHIFT ASSAILED
BY DANIEL NJ. KIDNEY

Attempt TO inject an eight-hour
day plan for street car and bus OPP
orators of the indianapolis Street
Railway into the wage and working
conditions arbitration hearing be-
fore the public service commission
failed today.
When the matter was objected to
by David E. Watson, attorney for
the company, Commissioner Frank
Singleton, who is presiding, ruled
that no matter not previously taken
up with company officials as the
working contract provides, can be
injected at the final hearing.
The public service commission is
made the final board of arbitration
under the contract entered into by
employees with the company.
Contend Plan is Root
Attorneys for the employees union,
which brought the commission ap-
peal, commended that the eight-hour
day plan goes directly to the root
of improvement of working condi-
tons.
The grievience petition originally
dealt with it only in asking that
time and one-half be allowed in
payment for all working time over
eight hours,
Today the effort was made to in
troduce an eight-hour shift plan,
which Singleton oYerruled.
Thwarted in the eight-hour day
program, conductor witnesses then
were forced to confine much of their
testimony to Directing to the split
shift" whereby operators work
twelve or more hours out Of twenty
four by going to work early in the
morning and then returning, after
lay off to work during the late az
ternoon and night.
Assail Red Transfers
Another objection under the head
of working conditions was the use
of the red transfer instead of
white" 1t was explained that red
transfers must be procured from
barn foremen for free rides and
they bear the date and name of the
employe, while the white transfers
can be used on any day and are
procurable in books.
James Greene, who has been
conductor for twenty years, signer
of the appeal petition and pioneer
protestant in such matters, stated
from the witness stand that many
operators drive their cars to work
and forget to ask for red transfers
and would be greatly benefited the
mornings they do not drive by hav-
ing white transfers.
Harry L. Pearson, also a conduc-
tor, offered the same objection.
Auditor Put on Stand
L. J. E. Foley, company auditor,
was then called to the stand to
learn the advantage to the company
of continuing the red transfer plan.
Petitioners are seeking increases
to 60 cents an hour from the pres
ent scale which is from A to 40
cents for two-man cars and 40 to
81 cents for one-man cars depend
ing upon length Of time in the serv-
ice.
They we're granted a pay increase
by the commission three years ago
on similar appeal 1t is reported
that the presentation of the present
petition was ordered from union
headquarters in Chicago.

Smith are the employees attorneys.
