OUTING ON HOLIDAY
Record Crowd Celebrates at Fairgrounds—Number of Prizes are Awarded.
Thousands of union men and their friends joined in the observance of Labor day by participating in the celebration at the faigrounds and it is estimated that the crowd was the largest that has ever attended such a celebration. Contests, races, a baby contest and speaking were featured on the program. The principal address of the day was given by D. J. Williams.
Phil Reinbold. president of the Central ibor union, introduced Mr. Williams to the crowd. Mr. Wiliams took as his subject "Labor. Its Purpose, What It Has Accomplished and What It is Expected to Accomplish." He said: "Organized ktbor In the past has had many contentions. Conditions are improving now and the time will soon be here when we can look upon the work we have done and feel that it has been done well. We are accused of being unnecessary agitators, but nothing is ever accomplished without some agitation. If you will consider the past accomplishments, such as the child labor law, the workingmen's compensation law, the age pension laws and other measures that organized labor have assisted in passing, then you will realize the value of agitation. In Terre Haute we were unfortunate in having a losing fight in our efforts to organize the traction employes. But if every union man would go out tomorrow and demand the union label on every piece of goods he purchases and that the man who waits on him is a union clerk, it would be a short time, indeed, until organized labor had won a com-' plete vitcory."
The contests held in the afternoon proved interesting to the spectators. The mile bicycle race was won by Theodore Frankie, 1706 North Thirteenth street. He was given a gold watch by the Swope & Nehf Jewelry store. Holland Dicks came in second. The (Sack raec for boys .vas won by Russell Brentlinger, 522 South Fifteenth street. Walter Poe, -2415 Liberty avenue, won second. Golden Johnson, Bourne avenue, and Tressie Michael, 3003 Schaal avenue, were given the first and second prizes respectively in the girls' foot race.
In the evening the dancing proved popular. Music was furnished by the First Regiment bfind and hundreds of young people enjoyed the open air dancing. The rain interfered with the dancing and sent the crowds away seeking shelter about 5 o'clock.
WABASH CLAIMS VICTIM.
Teamster Drowns in Attempt to Swim From Boat- to Boat. While endeavoring to swim from one boat to another Monday evening, Daniel Webster, a teamster for the Raymond Kintz Lumber Co. living in Taylorville, was drowned in the Wabash river, just south of the Big Four bridge.
Webster and a party of friends started up the river on the Pearl and as they were in the channel under the bridge something went wrong with the engine and the boat stopped. The boat Winner and the barge Welcome were following the Pearl and they were compelled to stop as the Pearl was floating around in the channel. This led to an argument between the crews of the two boats. Webster, who was an expert swimmer, plunged into the river with the intention of swimming to the Winner. After he hit the water his body came to the surface twice and his friends made every effort to rescue him but in vain.
The body was found after a two hour search and every sort of artificial resnlrotion was tried but without result. Coroner Jett was called and the body was removed to Hickman's morgue.
FRISKED FAIRGROUNDS.
J. E. Bickel Reports Theft of Pocketbook. J. E. Bickel, living on South Nineteenth street, reported to the police Monday night that he had been robbed of a pocketbook containing $48 as he attempted to board a car to leave the fair grounds. "While one man held him, vip said, another took his wallet from his pocket. The car started and the holdup men escaped. He says he would recognize one of his assailants if he Fees him again.
FOR WINTER US
Professor Duenweg Home From Meeting of American Profes-sors—Re-elected President.
Oskar Duenweg returned Saturday evening from New 1'ork where he attended the annual meeting of the American Society of Professors of Dancing, which honored him for the third time by electing him president. Other officers elected were Louis Chalif, New York, vice president P. B. Carpenter, Providence, R. I., secretary Henry Doring, Troy, N. Y., treasurer. Mr. Duenweg was also made chairman of the executive coinmittee of the society, which is me' leading organization of the kind in the country. The meetings were neiu
PROF. OSKAR DUENWEG.
at the Hotel Majestic. One evening during the session, which lasted several days, the Hotel Shelburne, Brighton beach, entertained for the members, who attended in a body, and exemplified 'the old-time dances. Mr. Duenweg danced the old-fashioned waltz, the true waltz, to the music of the "Beautiful Blue Danube," and also rendered the old-time polka with one of the lady members of the association.
The society adopted a new dance offered by Mr. Duenweg, the "Riverside One Step," and it will be taught during the coming season by all the members. It illustrates the three positions of dancing, the open position, the closed or waltz position and the side position, and these with a pretty combination of steps caught the fancy of the professors of dancing.
Mr. Duenweg says the dances proper the coming season will be the standardized version of the "Waltz Canter," which he descriDes as a very pretty, graceful dance and easy to learn, the Maxixe, the Lu Lu Fado, or Brazilian Polka, the new Tango, or Parisian Polka, the half and half, the standardized versions of the hesitation waltz and the fox trot, and the furlana, an Italian dance, that is said to have had the endorsement of the late pope. Another dance that was demonstrated was the Ta Tao, or Chinese Minuet, which he says is an attractive graceful movement.
Maurice. the famous European dan.cer, who had just returned from the continent, attended the convention and illustrated the latest steps that have been danced there, including all the European novelties. At "Castle House," which is conducted by Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Castle, the dancing masters, he learned that Miss Bee Slocum, who was one of his pupils here several years ago, is one of the priivcipal instructors. She was unavoidably absent from the city, but asked to be remembered to him.
As president of the association Mr. Duenweg named five delegates, to attend a conference with representatives of the leading dancing professors of the country, and they decided on four dances that will be taught in an uniform manner by all these societies the coming season. These are the waltz canter, fox trot, one step and tango. An effort will be made to do away with so-called freak dancing, and make the dances taught by the recognized leaders of the profession modest, graceful and attractive.

ALLENDALE CHINS PROTEST POOR
County Auditor Wallace and Commissioner Hutchinson Speak in Favor of Plan.
Protesting against the charges of Attorney John O. Piety, representing the property owners of Allendale, that the purchase of the Ijams farm for a site for a new poor farm would be a burden on the taxpayers. County Auditor N. G. Wallace made a spirited address to the members of the county council Tuesday morning, advocating the purchase of the proposed site as a matter of economy for tne people, ana guaranteed that the sale of the old farm would realize enough money to pay for the new site, with $15,000 to $20,000 to spare. Attorney Piety hao addressed the memlbers of the council, opposing the purchase, and when he concluded Auditor Wallace said he had a few words to say, although he was not a lawyer and no orator. He said that the state board of charities for the last ten years had condemned the 'buildings at the old farm, and every grand jury for the same period had condemned them and urged the erection of new ones. He said the members of the council had visited the land composing the proposed new site on Monday and knew that there were 200 acres of good farm land in it, despite the stories that had oeen circulated that it contained only 35 or 40 acres of farm land. He said there was on the farm now as good corn as there is in Vigo county, while there were 200 acres of pasturage on which hogs, cattle and sheep could be raised to support the inmates of the farm. "Meat," the county auditor said, "was one of the largest Items of expense for the feeding of the poor unfortunates, and during the month of August alone the meat bill was $6 a day. Enough moijey can be realized from the sale of the old farm to pay for the new site with $15,000 or $20,000 left to apply on the cost of the new buildings. These buildings have to be erected anyhow and can be erected at a cost of not to exceed $75,000, instead of the $150,000 or $200,000 that had been suggested by the opponents of the purchase."
Attorney Piety said the price proposed to be paid for the farm was excessive and quoted figures from a deed filed in 1904 showing that a tract of practically 100 acres Included in the 475 had been purchased then for an average of $45 an acre. He did not refer in his argument to anything but the unnecessary expense of the purchase, and said that the present farm of 130 acres could not be farmed by the inmates of the poor farm, and that if they were capable of farming they would not be inmates of such a place. Wilbur Topping and C. M. Rankin, residents of Allendale, were present and the former spoke against the proposed purchase, and said it would impose a burden on the taxpayers of several hundred thousand dollars that they should not be called on to face. Mr. Piety replied to Auditor Wallace, and while he was speaking County Commissioner Frank Hutchinson put in an appearance and made a talk, supporting the purchase as a matter of economy for the taxpayers. He said the same man that farmed this present ground could farm the new place, with the help of some twenty or twenty-five inmates who were physically able to help in the work.
The county council met In annual session with a full representation of members, President Charles B. Kigney in the chair, and Auditor Wallace exofficio secretary. The budget of appropriations asked for was read, including those for the special meeting which is held in connection with the regular session, and after hearing the protests against the new poor farm purchase adjournment was taken to Wednesday, when final action will be taken on the several amounts asked for for the year 1915.
TWO PAROLES RESCINDED.
Bert Cruse and Hileary Linton are Sent to Reformatory. Bert Cruse, aged 21 years, for whom even Captain Stahl, probation officer, and Deputy Prosecutor Frank Foley hadn't a good word to say, had his parole rescinded Tuesday morning by Judge Fortune, who sentenced him to from one to eight years in the reformatory at Jeffersonville on the charge of petit larceny. H„- has been of considerable trouble to the officials, and once when sent to jail had his sweetheart make a plea for him that secured his release. He afterwards married her, and not long ago was fined in the City Court for assault and battery on her. He cried when sentence and asked to be allowed to see his w: before being sent away.
Hileary Linton, aged 18, also had his parole rescinded for bad conduct and was gfven from one to eight years in the reformatory. He was out under suspended sentence and not long ago attacked a small boy in Taylorville and nearly beat him to death. The charge against him was petit larceny.
WAR CUTS RECRUITING.
Stories of Great Bloodshed Evidently Leave Bad Impression. "The war in Europe has not benefited the recruiting service," said Sergeant B. T. Smith, of the United States recruitjng service, Tuesday, "although it might have been erxpected. A number of former soldiers are re-enlisting, but we have not had a single 'consent' paper returned, to us signed by the parents since the war boke out. When boys between 18 and 21 enlist, consent papers are sent to the parents agreeing to the enlistment. Envelopes are enclosed to return such papers without postage, and usually we get the papers properly signed within a short time, for most minors when they enlist know that their parents will agree to it. The stories that come of the terrible slaughter, incident to the European war, have evidently frightened the parents of minor prospective recruits, for every one that we have sent out since the war began have been returned to us unsigned."
