. Washington, Nov. 30.—President Taft got down to work on his message today. Many distinguished men who called at the white house expecting to have a wora witn him were told that they would have to come again. About the only persons of consequence who got tn to see him were Samuel Gompers, John Mitchell, Frank Morrison and James O’Connell, of the executive board of the American Federation of Labor. They called ' by appointment' to discuss with the president the labor legislation for 1 which they had been asking for sev- 1 oral years. They submitted in writ- '

— — s=s hour law and the employers’ liability act. They also discussed with the chief executive in an informal way the other legislative suggestions. The president heard all they had to say most attentively and Indicated that he would embody some of their recommendations ‘in his message. He refrained from saying which of the recommendations appealed to him. While these four representatives of organised labor were.pleased with the treatment they received they did not leave the white house encouraged to believe that their legislative program would fare any better at the hands of congress than It had fared at previous

The life of Moses was beautifully portrayed and speaking of the great lawgiver, Judge Erwin pointed out that while the men who had bullded the Sphinx and pyramids of Egypt have passed into oblivion, Moses could live in history down through the generations. “He saw the distress of his fellowmen,’- said the speaker, “and out of his life In the wilderness the real gem of helping others manifested itself.” Numerous were the instances given |by Judge Erwin showing how through; persecution, through suffering, prlva-1 tion and apparent non-recognitioa, life finally produced a gem in the form ®f some great deed, some eminent work that progably otherwise never would have been roalM -Forl VITo GAYifindl I — o- I —— I Dan Haefling, who for seven years I phst has been employed at the Fort Lwayne Electric Works, was here I Monday to visit his brother, James HP.

F. . o | WANTED TO JOIN bEAD FATHER. I Redkey Woman Attempts Suicide— I Makes Confession. L... Portland, Ind M Nov, 30.—As her t father, George Crist, with whom she I had made her home, Mrs. James Nida, | of Redkey, attempted suicide by takI tag a large quantity of arsenic. The I timely discovery of her act and the L quick arrival of a physician alone [ saved her life. [ While the woman was writhing in I agony and doubt still existed of the of the attempt to save her ! life, It Is said a written confession ’ made by the woman erf past wrongi doing was discovered, in It she Is sai* . to have acknowledged her intimacy with certan Redkey men whose names 1 were mentioned, money she alleged ' she had received from one man being enclosed to be returned to bls wife. The woiqan recovered sufficiently to attend the funeral of her father, but ft is said her confession has put a number of Redkey men on uneasy street , ’ • ' '"""O Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 30.—The fate of the county local option law, for which the republican party fought bled and almost died In the last cam-

many years. Following time honored precedent, howeVer, there have been rumors percolating from the state capital for the last week. The one best | set of the bunch seems to be that-the court will announce Its decision on December 6th. It has adjourned until that date, which may account in a measure for the rumor that the decision will be forthcoming then. The I court has had the brief of the complainant, a former Noblesville saloon keeper, for the last four months. One of the pipe lines Into the sacred precincts of the supreme court gives out the statement that the judges have widely divergent views as to whether or not the law is constitutional. A state official who Is supposed to “know things’- says that but for the overshadowing influence of one of tHe judges who has been, on the bench for many years the court would have held the law unconstitutional three or four weeks ago. The name of this judge is withheld because it would not be possible to get a statement from hiip on the delicate question of how he stands. He is known as a radical temperance man and one of the “big men” of the higher court. He Is said to have been insistent that the bench, shall render a unanimous opinion in favor of the law. From another apparently reliable source of Information It is learned that one of the real potent factors ot the court has bucked on the proposition of his able colleague that the law shall be held constitutional. He is said to have been so obstreperous as to have notified the other judges that under no conditions will he concur in a decision sustaining the law. It is declared that he is not opposed to local option and that he believes in vigorous temperance measures, but It Is asserted.that he is a stickler for observing the spirit as well as the better of the constitution and that he Is absclutley certion in his own Atnd that county local option cannot be legal under the present status of the constitution. Geneva, Ind., November 30.—(Special to the Daily Democrat)—R. M. Ireland, landlord at the Shamrock hotel, was the victim of an accident yesterday afternoon which is proving extremely painful, and which, too, was a narrow escape from a serious mishap. He was eranking his automobile and the old thing slipped, the crank striking his right arm with terriffic force, but fortunately no bones wert broken. Dr. Graham dressed the In jured member, and to say the least it is a mighty sore actor today. ? • The Southland Sextet gave a rendl tion of songs at the M. E. church and without question it was the best' musical production ever given in Geneva The lullaby, “Old Black Joe,” and “Sjwanee River,” were especially fine, and completely captivated the house They were greeted by a good audince and all enjoyed themselves. Rev. Waldo pastor of the U. B. church, was a business visitor at Portland Monday. Marsh Burdg, of Decatur, is here selling the housewives of Geneva a handy household article in the shape of a flop jack griddle, which te said to do the work perfectly, and the sales were numerous. HL B. Haller, prosecuti-g attorney of Decatur, was here Monday on important business.

11 V Ant th® time draws near for the change in the city administration, there is of course more or less speculation on who will be the lucky boys to receive plums. As stated rceently the mayor has the appointments of the marshal, flre chief, street commissioner, secretary of board of health and the city engineer. It is likely that the marshal job will go to Frank Peterson, but further than this the mayorelect, J. W. Teeple, has not given out any statement. When Interviewed on this subject today he said that be did not think that he would give any names of appointees until he assumed his office. He will begin his term as mayor January Ist, and the meeting of the city council on the Tuesday evening following will be one of Interest. The only change in the council at that time will be the retirement of Mr. Burns and the donning of the robes of aiderman by Mr, Atz. It Is only a month now, and the candidate for jobs it seems will have to wait patiently until that time. ——■' , - •o- —•— THE BIG SHOW.
