Ice cream was a wild dissipation.

Kossuth was the Hungarian
general and politician who visited
the town in 1852 to raise funds for
his country. Medals were struck
off in his honor and sold on Wash

"All bought but the Irish, and
Kossuth left town with his fell
lowers, taking $1,000 paid for in
Hungarian notes and keepsakes
and owing big liquor bill at the
Capitol House," debunks one his
torian.

Heartening.

WASHINGTON. June 19-With
approval of the administration.
union labor leaders have set afoot
the biggest mem cerShip campaign IN
recent years TO deal with employers
under the new recovery act.
Both the NorriS-La Guardia anti
injunction law and the recovery act
put the federal government. for the
first time. behind the freest sort of
collective bargaining. The admins
tration, particularly Labor Secretary
Frances Perkins. hopes that labor
Will prepare itself through strong
organizations to work with en-
ployers' groups under the act.
The A. F. of L. building here
teemed with new activity as reports
of organization campaigns began TO
roll in from industrial centers.
Heavy Increase Reported
The reports generally are hearten-
ing. Aside from the complaint that
hosiery mills in North Carolina and
Pennsylvania are diScharging union
organizers, the reports indicate a
heavy increase in union membership
in the last fortnight.
John l.. Lewis, head of the United
Mine Workers, has sent men into
such formerly forbidden states as
West Virginia. Alabama. and the
CarolinaS. He reports an increased
membership of 10000 coal miners.
The lumbermen's proposed code
recognizing unionism has stirred
lumber workers of the northwest
with new zeal.
/ Many new unions generally are
being formed along industrial rather
than craft lines.
Form apparel Group"
One significant development is the
formation of an apparel group"
that includes the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers, headed by Sidney
Hillman; the United Garment
Workers; Hosiery. Necktie, Hat, Cap,
Millinery, and Lady Garment Work.

The 1927 A. F. of L. plan to union
ize the auto workers in an industrial
union is being revived. According
to President William Green. workers
whose jobs lend themselves to or
ganization by industries will be so
organized. These include the rub

groups.

SHOT IN DUEL
WITH CUNMAN,
OFFICER DIES
Lafayette Police Seek to
Pin Other Crimes to
Two SIayerS.
By United Press

BIZ United Press
LAFAYETTE, Ind, June 19.-The
death of patrolman j. Wesley Will
son, 40, spurred Lafayette officers
today to renewed efforts in their
attempt to link his slayers with
other serious crimes.
Wilson was one of three police
men wounded in a gun fight Fri
day night with James Richardson,
80, Nashville, Tenn, and Frank
Byrd, 20, indianapolis, bandit sus-
poets.
Richardson was wounded fatally,
dying Saturday afternoon. Byrd was
hurt less seriously, and physicians
say he may recover.
Another Critically Hurt
Patrolman Paul Klinker, 30, still
is in critical condition, but attend
ants at st. Elizabeth's hospital said
he spent a restful night and prob
ably will pull through. He was shot
in the lung and pelvis. Patrolman
James Mcdonald, 26, third to be
struck by the gunmen's bullets, was
wounded only slightly and is recov-
ering.
The shooting took place across
from the courthouse in downtown
Lafayette when officers attempted
to question the two suspects.
An employe of bank at Cullom,
Ill, which was robbed recently, at
tempted to identify Byrd and Rich
ardson Sunday as one of the ban
dts. He said he thought Richard
son was one of those who held him
up, but was not positive about ever
having seen Byrd. A car used in
the Cullom robbery was found later
at Fowler, Ind, near here.
Girl Still Is Held
Attempts also we're being made
to link the suspects with recent In
diana bank robberies.
Ruth Edgar, Is, Frankfort, who
said she had been travelling about
the country with Byrd and Richard
son, still is being held by Lafayette
police for questioning. She has
given little information of value,
police said.
John Richardson, Frankfort,
brother Of James, also is being held.
He was arrested at Lake Freeman,
near Monticello. Relatives of James
Richardson were reported on their
way here from Nashville to claim
the body.
Funeral services we're held at 8
this morning for Patrolman Wilson
Later the body was to be taken to
his former home at New Albany for
services and burial Tuesday.

woman, or horse carried across
the river at cost of 1919 cents"
Bets could be paid off in taverns
on Washington street in whisky
or ferry fares. A one-half pint
flask of the dew was equal to
ride over the river.
1t was cheaper to sleep than TO
eat. Meals were IS cents, while
lodging was half that price.
TINE first Sunday school of the
- village was held by Squire
Caleb Scudder on the Washington
street side of the Statehouse
square. Forty persons attended.
Money was, needed to operate the
city and build state structures and,
at a lot sale in October, 1921, the
site of the Claypool sold for
$24375. The northeast corner of
Pennsylvania and Washington
streets brought 5000, and the
northwest corner of Delaware and
Washington streets brought the
highest price Of $3.50.
The first schoolhouse was built
at the edge of Kentucky avenue
and Washington street. When
Sunday school or the three RS
were not being taught, the school
was occupied by sheep. They used
the expansive chimney of the log
house for entry.
The first building of consequence
aside from log structures was the
state treasurer'S office at the
southwest corner of Capitol ave-
nue. and Washington street, pres
ent site of the Lorraine hotel.
In 1927 the population of In
dianapolis was 1,066, and, accord
ing to Dunn's history, "213 barrels
of whisky and 100 kegs of gun
powder were consumed" on Wash
ington street in hunting, duels
and talking bouts.
WEARS peramubulated and,
a with the cutting of timber to
clear Washington street, and ses-
sions of the legislature, the town
grew.
Washington street kept apace.
1t reached the gangly age of rude
clapboard shops, hoopskirts, bright
ginghams, and even circus
stopped to show it's "only kanga-
roo in captivity" on the present
site of the former Pettis Dry
Goods company building.
Sitting-room days, with their
sea-shells being tested by SWANS
at the ears of their sweetnearts
while surreptitiously kissing the
unused lobes, came in 1850.
Richer homes sported gas lights.

killer: Dion Boucicault. and Sallie
st. Clair-called the leader of the
strip-parade in tossing off all but
tights-played old Met"
To this day a story of the old
days of 'meller- dramer" is linked
up with the Metropolitan's pres
entation of Under the GaSlight"
in the early los.
Under the Gaslight" was one of
those thrillerS where the hero is
bound hand and foot to a railroad
track by the villain.
Just as the hero idled along the
train tracks near the rail station
and the villain awaited him be-
hind tattered canvas tree, a gall
leryite could stand the suspense no
longer and he yelled:
Hey, you damn fool, don't you
see that teller behind the tree?"
NNE of the sports of the town
~ was to take a trip on the old
side wheeler Governor Morton,
that moored at the Washington
street bridge on White river. The
Morton's bar did a $16S business
on one pleasure jaunt.
1t sank Aug. 6, 1866, while
moored near the bridge. The
Waterman was asleep.
Two-horse cars came to Wash
ington street, then one-horse, and
then mule cars.
Business buildings expanded
with the 70s and Dos.
The street walked westward and
eastward. The Trade Palace, now
L. S. Ayres & Co., was one of the
streets department stores.
Just as stagnant as its swamps
in 1920 it seemed to about face
in the COS with growth and city
buildings.
ELECTRIC cars came during
II the COS. War trod again in
1898, but left the street with
naught but style changes.
Buildings scared upward with
the years. Property prices scared,
too. Health of citizenry improved.
The street became city's cross
roads to everywhere. Now the
swamp buys and sells millions
yearly
And no longer is the song of the
ague sung with its words:
Nowadays Teller gifts the chills.

1 Yusen to be. eff aigger tuck
Holds on Teller it thess I'd whet

man finished his morning exercise he
took . Scotch shower bath and had HIM

matter. For one thing, he could now
have breakfast peacefully without try

Hawkins now had q chance to have
