Nearly a thousand friends who have worked with Fred S. Hunting at the General Electric in Fort Wayne for many years gathered last evening in a farewell and good wishes for their manager who leaves this week to assume new duties with the Hobbins and Myers Company. Talks by Mr. Goll who succeeds Mr. Hunting and by Mr. Barnes who becomes assistant, as well as expressions by hundreds of other.certainly leave no doubt of the love, affection and admiration in which Mr. Hunting is held. We join them in wishing him all possible success. Four hundred thousand men in the railroad shops have declared intentions to strike July Ist, which may be just what the operators want them to do. For a year an effort has been made t > make these plants open shops and if the help can be secured this may gn them just the opportunity they see! . Add these men to the coal strikers and you have a million idle. If the other railroaders decide to join them and the trades and teamsters and others join, no one can foretell the fu- ] ture. At least it is serious enough to . make the United States senators quit discussing cuckoo clocks and Colonel Harveys knee breeches and get down to real business. 1 Fred Ossenberg, a republican leader of Evansville, was convicted with I a number of others in the whiskey conspiracy cases tried some time age. The others paid the penalty but O I senberg appealed to the United States court of appeals who found against him. He was sent to Atlanta last week. There is no doubt about h.■, guilt and his only chance to escape a year in prison is his political ‘‘pull." Senators Watson and New and all of the thirteen congressmen, all repub licans and including Mr. Vest;! (Adams County Witness please notice) have signed the petition asking that Ossenberg be released and the SI,OOO fine remitted. If he is released it will look considerably as though the government grants special privileges to ’‘bootleggers" who can deliver the votes. Kokomo will have a notable celebration on the Fourth of July, dedicatory in honor of Elwood Haynes, inventor designer and builder of America's first mechanically successful automo-

p bile. A granite monument will be dedicated to Mr. Haynes by the Indiana ( Historical Commission and the Hoosier State Automobile Association and r will be unveiled at the exact spot '• where the first car made its initial trip r Leading scientists, inventors and men prominent in all walks of life will that day—next Tuesday—pay homage to ’ Mr. Haynes. For the first time in his- ‘ tory the Smithsonian Institute will j permit a permanent exhibit to be reI moved, allowing the original Haynes • car of 1893 to be brought to Kokomo ' for the celebration.. Thousands will witness the great occasion and it is sate to say that the event will be the greatest of its kind ever held in the middle west. Though Mr. Haynes is not now receiving the plaudits which come to other automobile manufac-. Hirers he will in years to come find a place similar to that of Fulton, Franklin, Morse, Bell and others written for all time on the pages of history. It if another laurel for old Indiana that so popular an invention as the automobile should come from a Hoosier and most of us are glad that the distinguished inventor has kept up with the proces sion. Talking about the attitude of the Adams County Witness as regards John Tyndall for congress, the Bluff ton Banner says:— No, the Bluffton Banner and tin Decatur Democrat are not going tc elect John Tyndall, but the peoph seem in a mood to do that trick at thiparticular time. The other countie of the district are just as enthusiast!' over the prospects of electing Mr Tyndall as are the people of Wells am Adams counties, and down in you' heart, Witness, don’t you believe tha Mr. Tyndall, fresh from the peoph without tho contaminating influence of Washington life; without the ten dencies that seem to go with lonr political life in the capital city, woul< make us a much better congressmai than Mr. Vestal? Don’t you know that even the members of your owi party have come to the conclusioi that “Bert” has about run the gaunt let of time and that it was only ?

fluke that he was allowed to go over his time, and that a certain gentle man at Muncie almost entered the campaign this year, with the evident intention of putting Mr. Vestal on flu shelf? While Vestal had oppositior this year—and overcame it —by an other year the powers that be ar< going to put the skids under him am 1 nominate another man? Aren’t yo' in touch with the affairs of your party to that extent? Why, sure as shoot in' this is true, and the man who ii slated to take Vestal's nomination ir 1924 lives at Muncie, unless John Tyn dall takes his measure this year —and it looks like he would. The Bluffton Banner and the Decatur Democrat are threatening to go ahead and elect John Tyndall, con gressman of the eighth district, most ly because he is a democrat, secondly because he is from Adams county anc then because of his sterling worth and his qualities. With <fll respect for Mr Tyndall as a man, no more can be said of him in this respect than can b<

said of Mr. Vestal. Just because a

man is a citizen of Adams county does not necessarily qualjfy him any more than if he should have come from any other county. Adams and Wells county democrats will do some “tai’ 4 voting” if they are going to outvote the district single handed —Adams County Witness, You have tried Vestal six years and his record is zero. Why not give John Tyndall a chance to represent you? I He has always kept faith with the people, he has the ability, you admit he is everything desired —then all things being equal why not send an Adams county man to congress? Os course Adams and Wells counties cannot elect him alone but his friends in these parts where he is best known | can help secure for him a vote in I the other counties, which will'elect I him and the Witness will not be able I to convince many of, those who know I him that he is not the man to empoly I as their representative in congress. 5 J. S. Peterson spent yesterday in I Fort Wayne.

MAMMOTH MONUMENT TO BE DEDICATED TO ELWOOD HAYNES IN KOKOMO, JULY 4.

Final plans for the gigantic July •'ourth celebration in honor of the wenty-eighth anniversary of the initial trip of America’s first mechanically successful automobile on the Pumpkinville Pike near Kokomo, Inliana—the day when the automobile world will do honor to Elwood Haynes is the father of the American automobile industry—are now rapidly being completed. The celebration is taking on a national aspect, and hundreds of the nation’s leading men will journey to Kokomo on July Fourth to do homage to Mr. Haynes as one of the greatest inventors of the age. Today Mr. Haynes was driven out to the monument work* witness the progress of the workmen who are cutting the inscription on the huge memorial monument which, is tp be dedicated to him and to his notable invention. The monument itself, although simple in design as befits the character and life of the man to whom it will be dedicated, is a work ot rare beauty. The base is a solid block of New York granite, while the shaft, which will carry the inscription and the Stellite tablet, is a huge block of red Cloud granite. These particular species ot stone were chosen because ot their enduring qualities. . . . . . / Mounted on the , shaft,'-at a slight angle to make reading easier, will be a beautiful tablet of solid Stellite, the new metal invented by Mr. Haynes. Specially constructed motor trucks will transport the huge monument in section to that point on the Pumpkinville Pike where the original Haynes started its memorable journey jdst twenty-eight years ago.

MANY THEFTS OF CHICKENS REPORTED IN WELLB COUNTY BY FARMERS Bluffton. June 28.—Sheriff Noah Frauhlger received reports today of thefts of chickens by the wholesale at three different farms, and expects to hear of other similar thefts. I. L. Garrison, living on the 8. M. Duffy farm, west of Murray, reports the theft of 160 to 175 chickens. Charles Farer, living on the John Hawk place, part of the old J. J. Markley farm, south of Murray, reports the theft of about 60 fowls. John Staver, living near Bolling Springs, and his son-in-law, Mr. McAfee, reported quite a number of chickens taken, but was not sure how many. Mr. Garrison told the sheriff that he was preparing to coop part of his chickens in order to make a delivery of 60 hens to Bluffton on Friday, and discovered that number was about all he had left, whereas his flock had consisted of more than 200 fowls. The sheriff reports that Garrison is inclined to think the agents who came through the country soliciting purchase of fowls may have been “spotters” thus locating coops to be looted. The agents made similar calls to
