UNSKILLED LABOR TO

BLAME SAYS DICKEY

City Electrician Says Defective Wiring is Due to Work of Unexperienced Men. That electrical contractors of the city are employing unskilled labor in the wiring of houses and business blocks was the complaint filed with the board of safety Friday morning' at its regular weekly meeting by City Electrician Dickey. He said that certain contractors of the city were gross violators of the ordinance covering the question, and suggested that the board pass a resolution requiring the contractors that all future violations would be punishable by license revocation. The city ordinance states that such offenses are punishable by the guilty firms having their licenses to take over contracts revoked. The board will issue circulators to all electrical contractors in the city, which will set forth Dickey's objections and the penalty therefor. A large share of the defective wiring which has been detected by recent inspections, alleges the city electrician, is due to the fact that electrical contractors hire as assistants young men who have not the proper training in that line. Dickey's suggestions and routine business were all that the board took up Friday morning. There was nothing unusual either from the fire or police departments. Things in the latter, according to Chief Kuespert, are particularly quiet at present. MIX WILL REPRESENT LOCAL MANUFACTURERS Melvin W. Mix, president of the Dodge Manufacturing Co., and former mayor of Mishawaka, will represent the industrial concerns of this vicinity at the National Council of Industry Safety session to be held in Chicago Oct. 13 and 14. Safety conditions in factories will be the principal matter to be brought before the national or ganization. Mr. Mix is on the committee appointed by Gov. Ralston to act as a commission to investigate working conditions for women and he will no doubt be among the speakers at the session. Other South Bend and Mishawaka business men and manufacturers will be invited to attend the meeting. Letters will be mailed out by the local Chamber of Commerce to manufacturers of this vicinity which might be interested. VICTIM OF CAR CRASH ASKS $7,000 DAMAGES Rose Dempsey, one of the victims of the collision between a city street car arid a Lake Shore passenger train which took place June 29, at the Bronson and Michigan st. crossing, filed suit against the Chicago, South Bend & Northern Indiana Railway Co. Friday for $7,000 damages. The plaintiff alleges that the wreck was due to the negligence of the employes of the company and says she was injured so severely that she was compelled to remain in bed for four weeks and unable to do any of her work for twice that period. According to the complaint she was injured about the head, back and shoulder, her left side was bruised and her chest and leg hurt. BRASS COINS CAUSE A LEGAL ROW WITH GROCERS Grocers in South Bend are involved in legal entanglements in connection with their contracting for a brass coinage made by the Ingle System Co. of Dayton, O., which has appealed a suit for breach of contract against Saelhof & Pfeffley, 502 W. Division st., from Justice of Peace A. N Hildebrand's court to the circuit court. The grocers contracted for the brass coins which were sold in $10 lots to patrons, who exchanged them for merchandise. This method was found inconvenient and the grocers refused to continue the system and as a result the suit was filed against them. Justice Hildebrand found for the defendants and the case has been appealed. MODERN SPECIALTY CO. LOSES VALUABLE MAILS A daring robbery was committed Thursday evening when a mail sack supposed to have contained valuable checks and drafts was stolen from in front of the Modern Specialties Co. at 1110 High st. The police were notified of the affair and are investigating. The only clue to work upon is that fact that men in the vinicity saw a strange youth loitering about the place, who was missed a short time after the bag was taken. The police have been furnished with a description of the young man. NAMES COMMITTEE TO BOOST HOME PRODUCTS A campaign to increase the sale of South Bend made produce has been instituted by the Chamber of Commerce. Pres. Harry Engman, jr., appointed a special committee Friday morning to have the matter in charge. The committee is headed by Lewis C. Landon.

DIVE FROM CLOUDS TODAY'S FEATURE OF AERIAL CIRCUS , CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) euted by Mickey McGulro, famous blrdman, at 5 o'clock in Muessel's field on Porta. avH will be tho big feature sensation of tho circus. While high in tho air tho blrdman will hut off his engine, point tho noso of his machine directly towards the ground and dive downward. As he shoots towards the earth ho will Btart his engine, upright hi3 machine and then Fall on. Intense excitement and enthusiasm prevailed duriru? the afternoon Friday and events planned to bo put on this evening promise to bring even larger crowds. The success of ThursdayVi events wa noised about in SouUi Bend homes and ppread Into the arm sections. A delegation of business men from Laporte arrived in the city for Thursday's events and aUer noting the success of the affair, -.-eturned to that city to encourage a plan to have a similar circus there. The matter in Laporte is being taken Jp by the business men's association. Mickey McGuire, who has every riuht to the title that has been given hjm the "Wild Irish Hose of the Air" was the pensatlon of the first day's meet and .since the program has been changed to give him a chance to show more of numerous tricks in the air, the second day promises to provide ever moro thrillers. Many were the arguments around the city after his flights as to whether or not he turned over in the air. He did. McGulro's sommersault in the air was wh?.t is known as the corkscrew turn. .The plants are shifted gradually and with an easy dip the complete turn-over is made in the air. Has Wrons In his turn McGuire's act is different from that of IJeaehey. Ueaehey makes a straight sommersault, a trick that is impossible with the typo of machine used by McGulre. Beaehey uses an imported engine, -which is manufactured expressly for this purpose. McGuire's engine Is so made that if he attempted to lly for any length of time with the engine inverted the oil would fill the top of the ermine and cause it to stop. This was South Bend's third chance to witness an aeroplane tlight and it was easily the best of the three. McGuire started his llight from his hangar on Muessel's field and flew over the city, circling over the downtown section and doing his sensational corkscrew turn over the heads of the crowds in the court house yard. Ho repeated it again at 4 o'clock. When his flight was made over the downtown section he was in the air at a height of nearly 2. COO feet. This height was necessary in order to protect himself against any possible accident to the engine or planes. At this height he would have been able to glide safely to the ground had anything happened. Special Performance Today. It is this fact that has caused a change in the program for today. At that height it is impossible for the onlookers to clearly see all of the tilings done by the aviator. The first night this afternoon will be given at the regular hour, 2:30 o'clock, but the second will be given at 5 o'clock in the vicinitv of the hangar on Muessel field. There he will give exhibitions of starts, stops, landings, clearly showing the corkscrew turn, and do many other little stunts in the air. This will be held at 5 o'clock, giving all of the people plenty of time to get to the field after the slide for life, which has been changed from 4:30 o'clock to 4 o'clock. After McGuire had soared out of sight on his initial flight of the afternoon, the crowd watched Capt. Ilenricsen do his ski jumping act at 3 o'clock on the court house lawn. Mounting the long wooden skis, common to the northern countries, he slid down a 40-foot incline, turning a sommersault at the end of the slide. He lands on a special canvas lighting place. At 3:30 o'clock the balloon race

was scheduled to start, but a slight mishap caused the first slip in the program. The large gas bags were slow in inflating and it was not until nearly 4 o'clock that the balloons were released. Just as they were released the parachute rope on the larger of the two bags broke and the balloonist was unable to go up. The other man made the ascent, however, and landed near the high school building. ADVERTISING TO' BOOST PLAN TO GET BIG FOUR ROUTE THROUGH CITY Plans to put on an advertising campaign are being made by the Big Four committee of the Young Men's Chamber of Commerce to promote the project of getting the lib? Four railway to run Its line now operating between St. Louis and Benton Harbor by way of Indianapolis and Elkhart, throush this city. A unique plan of inserting a newspaper advertisement with a coupon attached which is to be used as a petition, has been arranged by the committee. It is hoped through this plan to get petitioners to sign the coupon in tho advertisement signifying their interest in the change. At present the line runs by way of Grander north of this city. The proposed change will cut out Granger, putting South Bend and Mishawaka on the line. The route proposed is over the Lake Shore trucks from Elkhart to this city and thence by the Michigan Central to Nilea where it can connect with the regular route. The change could be made, according to the committee, without changing a rail ,and it would furnish South Bend with a better route to Indianapolis as at present when the Elkhart way Is us-e a two-hour layover is often necessary. LAUREL SCHOOL PUPILS HAVE FLOWER EXHIBIT The pupils of the Laurel school held their lhver show Friday morning. The exhibit was most attractive and a number of individual prizes were awarded, the Judges having been Mrs. John Mitehel. Miss Vennett and Miss Hirner. The first prize for the best ouiut t on the tirst floor went to Clara l'winski, the second to Helen Glsh; tor the het houo,uet on the scond Moor went to Elizabeth Amblzejewska and the second to Hessie Cohen.

Miss Sandage is a granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Klingel and Mrs. Joshua Sandage of this city. Funeral services will be Sunday afternoon, Crownhill cemetery, Indianapolis. FUNERALS.

That a split has come to the republican party Incident to the affair to be given at the Oliver hotel tonight in entertainment of Hugh T. Miller of Columbus, and Andrew Jackson Hickey, Laporte, candidates for United States senator aivd 13th district congressman, respectively, became known today. The split has been brewing since the primary campaign and the reorganization of the county committee, there being an evident disposition all along among the citizen-republicans to suppress the James II. Lv-ughman followers during the city campaign a year ago, but it was not until the committee was named to take charge of tonight's affair, that the final thread appears to have been broken. Not a single follower of Iymghman, who was the regular republican candidate for mayor, has been allowed a place on the committee, and, not only that, but there appears to be assurances tb.it the slight was decidedly intentional. In consequence the reception which is scheduled to take place at 7:30 o'clock, and to wind up with speeches by the would-be senator and congressman, will probably be without any considerable swelling from the Loughman contingent. A colored quartet will sing. The following is the committee of introduction: Republican County Chairman W. A. Slick, City Judge H. IX Warner, Elmer Crockett, Daniel P. Schurtz. J. D. Oliver, L. J. Oare, Edwin C. Witwcr. Hon. II. C. Stephenson, J. M. Studebaker. sr., Hon. John J. Hayes, Ignatius Werwinski. H. Gail Davis, George W. Feaser, I A. Bryan, A. J. Raabe, Hon.

Alvin Scott, Ralph Smith, Hiram II. Hunt and Charles E. Clark of Mishi-waka. Mr. Miller arrived in South Bend from Indianapolis at 12:35 over the Lake Erie & Western railroad.

NERVY YOUNG ROOMER

LEAVES WITH JEWELS Mrs. W. W. Napper Loses $200 in Valuable Trinkets Through Guile of Youth. Applying at the home of Mrs. Willis W. Xapper, 217 N. Main st., upon the pretext of rentinp rooms, a strange younj,' man left tho house early Thursday morning with approximately $200 worth of jewelry, the property of Mrs. Napper and her daughter. The young man claimed to lie from Laporte and said that he had been recommended to Mrs. Napper to secure room rental. He upplied at the house about 10 o'clock Wednesday night. Mrs. Napper, after being satisfied that the man's references were of the best, allowed him to enter ajid let him take a room. In the morning she heard him in the hall of the second tloor and from there he disappeared. Mrs. Napper left the house at 8 o'clock and after that the man appeared arain and was let in the back way by Mis.-5 Napper, who thought he was a roomer. He ransacked the rooms of the two women and had left before the thefts were discovered. Mrs. Napper notified the police at once and Detectives Lane and Diver are investigating the affair. A queer aspect of the robbery was the fact that one of the detectives was in a pawnshop earlier in the morning .and had seen a young man present a ring for valuation which tallied with the description of a ring, among those stolen from Mrs. Napper. The thief got away with a pearl brooch which wius set with 4 2 pearls and eight gold rings with various settings. He was of neat appearance and talked with a coolness that put both Mrs. Napper and hr daughter off their guard. He told them that he was employed at a local theater.
