Entered at the postottice In Decatur, fndi' La, as sceond uall. Things do happen in Mexico. Another surprising turn yesterday made a prisoner of President Madero and his brother and placed General Victoriano Huerta, commander of the federal forces in the president’s chair temporarily. Today Diaz is in power. The wlldenst excitement prevails, but that is nothing particularly new for Mexico City. The fireman are meeting with splendid success in their efforts to raise funds for the big tournament to be given here in June. It’s a good cause. The boys deserve your success., The event will do much towards advertising the city and if you are really one of the live citizens of Decatur, you are for this fund. Push a little. Mr. Wilson has said nothing start- 1 ling in his book, "The New Freedom.’’ But those who have read extracts from the more important chapters are convinced that he has presented much profound truth. The president-elect shakes no "mailed fist’’ at large and honest business enterprises. He doos not condemn financial growth that is the result of natural competition. He does not discern a “money trust” as a deliberate, malevolent combination. But he does make ready for war on the water-logged trusts. He denounces “promotion” as opposed to growth. And he does recognize a “credit trust” as dangerous because of its concentration. Finally, he recognizes in the “combination of combinations,” brought about by promotion, flotation, capitalization and a "community of interests" maintained by interlocking directorates, a menace to the nation, an actuality which the law must "pull apart, and gently, but firmly and persistently, dissect.” — Indianapolis News. City Council Met (Continued from Page 1) to send a few members from here. Upon this a motion was ma.’“ to send City Superintendent Martin Mylott and Councilman Hale to the convention, but on Mr. Hale's withdrawal, and suggestion to send Charles Christen in his place, the council agreed on Mr. Christen. A motion to send City Engineer Kintz also was approved, so

STRIKE AT MAGLEY Sixteen Italian Laborers on Erie Double Track Refuse! to Work Unless ALLOWED AN HOUR Extra—The Boss Claims He Worked Overtime Because They Were Late. — « —• The little town of Magley, on Erie, west of this city, was the acene of more trouble this morning in the camp of the Shoemaker construction gang of the Erie double track force. Sixteen Italians "struck,” refusing to go to work unless their conditions be complied with by the company. They complained that their boss, Patty Durkins, made them work ten minutes overtime Tuesday evening. For this they demanded wages for an extra hour. He refused. They state he has been making them work overtime from three to fifteen minutes for several days. He claims that they get to work that much too late every morning and he held them overtime to get in a full day’s work. When he refused to allow them an extra hour’s time, they refused to go to work this morning. Acting on the advice of the officials he put them out of the company’s bunking car there this morning, denying them the privilege of occupying it unless they worked. He took two guns with him into the car,' when he put them out, as he thought it necessary to be armed. They, there i fore, sent their interpreter here this I morning to try to file some charges against him for the part the guns played in the affair. They did not succeed in trumping up sufficient charges to warrant the filing of an affidavit against him. An official from Huntington will call at the camp today and unless they go back to work on the company’s terms they will be fired. MRS. BEULAH FRAZIER DEAD. Mrs. E. H. Lyon, one of the state W. R. C. officials, was grieved, as well as the local W. R. C., to receive word of the death of the past state W. R.

She leaves a husband, one son and an aged mother. Her father was Major Parks, | known to many. The funeral was held Tuesday, the local order sending condolences. oTHE KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS Will Celebrate Forty-ninth Anniversary Sunday Afternoon.
