fOR INDIANA POSSIBLE

Senators Taggart and Kern Ask Cooperation From the Citizens of the State.

By Willis 3. Thompson.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Aug. 15.— Much Interest is being shown in the attempt of Senator Thomas Taggart to have one of the twelve rural credit banks located at Indianapolis. The commercial and business organizations of various kinds of Indianapolis are exerting all their influence, co-oper-ating with Senator Taggart, to Induce the term loan board to thoroughly investigate the good business of locating c-ne of these institutions in Indiana. The rural credits law is largely the work of Congressman Moss of the Fifth Indiana district, he having given it more personal attention in the framing and passage than any other member either of the congress or the senile. President Wilson depended upon Congressman Moss, who is one of the strongest men in the house of representatives, to take care of this bill.

Advantage To People.

An effort was made to have Indiana, represented in the membership of the beard. When this failed Senator Taggart turned his personal efforts to securing one of the twelve banks for Indianapolis.

The senator has urged upon Indiana people the importance of using their endeavors to let the farm board know they are in earnest in wanting this bank. But Indiana must more than $ want it she must have reasons that will satisfy this farm loan board. The board must be convinced that Indianaoplis is one of twelve cities that can best serve the farmers. It is up to the farmers and other Indiana people to give these best arguments.

v

There is no more important law that

has been placed upon the federal statutes in a good many years. It goes •i to the benefiting of the producing fc .-.. .-classes. It places the farmers in an 'C even better position than the ordinary business concern in the matter of se-

V curing banking accommodations for i the development of his farm and its production. It gives advantageous j..r| rates of interest. All these concessions ikifefetusv- .to farmers benefit the whole community.

There is.no reason whv the farmers Indiana should have to go to Chica'go or St. Louis to transact their s»y business. They will not have to do so they will get busy at the proper time. The proper time is now.

Write the Senators.

V" Alf

you are not just sure what you

i^v. -iShould do, write to Senator Thomas Taggart as soon as you have read this statement, if you have not already :acted. Ask him- what will be the s'sStrongest and most effective thing you •wean da to help him. While Senator

JTaggart has taken the aggressive lead iti fighting for this recognition of the dlWdiana farmers and business inter-

••sts," Senator Kern and all the memtoers of the congress from Indiana are strenuously working with him. But they need your insistence and support to hack up what they are doing, and .to let the farm loan board know the ^people themselves are much in earnest, too your part now.

HUES ON BARTENDER.

Then Blazes Away at Passersby on the Street. Harry Cobbas, bartender in a saloon »t Second and Cherry streets, was shot itfid slightly injured by Chester Branv B&n, 35 years old, Monday night, after .-Gobbas had befriended "Kit" Foster, & woman, who Brannan had declared i^-Jie^ would "beat up." Brannan, after

Ih-ing at Cobbas in the saloon, ran north in Second street, firing an automatic shotgun at spectators before he .. ifrac captured. According to the police, »ho arrested Brannan, the Foster woman, with whom Brannan has been

Intimate, ran into the saloon where .'Cobbas was bartender Monday night "When Brannan threatened her. Cobbas s ordered Brannan out of his saloon and when he again persisted in striking the Foster woman, Cobbas threw him i out. sf 'In about five minutes Brannan re- •, appeared at the saloon door and pull-

wfts discharged but not too soon to escape being struck twice by the &nall shot. The rest of the discharge entered the wall directly above Cobbas' head, tearing a gaping hole. Cobbas fell to the floor when struck and Branran, believing he had killed him, ran down the street firing at every person whom he saw. Brannan fired five times, the small shot of the discharges sweeping the street, like machine gun flrfe. The police say that no more persens were injured is a wonder. A great number of people were attracted to the Street by the firing and as Brannan passed an alley leading, on Second street he was felled by a blow in the head. The man who struck him, disarmed him and held him upon the ground until Cox, Huffman and Casey, Wcyclemen, arrived and placed him "Under arrest.

In City Court, Tuesday morning, •Brknnan's case was continued until Friday.

CHIEFS GRAVE AS THEY MEET Will WILSON

Continued From Page One.

president have come from both side3 since the perplexing and gravely important sessions have begun.

After an hour and a half of conference with the president the managers' committee left the white house by a side door hoping to evade questioners. Elisha Lee, the chairman, said: "We are entirely in the president's hands and have agreed with him that he will make any statement that is made."

While the managers were at the •white house the brotherhood leaders conferred among themselves and awaited the call for their conference. The general opinion among them was that the president was putting the burden of averting a strike up to the railroads and that the prospects for a settlement were good. Having agreed practically to the principle of arbitration, the brotherhood leaders inclined to the view that the controversy could be settled by the railroads granting the basic eight-hour day and arbitrating the demands for time and a half for overtime or by eliminating the double compensation features and having the railroads make a flat agreement to put in the eight-hour day.

The attitude of the managers as they went to the white house was said to be one of yielding something. They had spent most of the night deciding whether they should eliminate all their contingent proposals or only part of them.

What Contentions Are.

Whether this plan can be worked out will not be known until President Wilson presents it to the brotherhood leaders.

The railroads are understood to be ready to Concede the principle of the eight-hour day, providing concessions be made by the employes so too heavy a burden will not be placed upon the railroads.

The men take the stand that they principally want the eight-hour dav cn conditions that it shall be enforced whenever possible. The railroads are said to believe it impossible to accept the eight-ljour day unless a workable system of application can be built up. Members of the managers' committee said they had no plans for the future and did not know whether they would be called to the white house again.

The managers took the position that the eight hour day and the collateral issues are inseparable and that it would not be practicable to accept the eight-hour day and submit the other Question to arbitration. All of the is* sues are interwoven they contend and must be decided together.

Representatives of the brotherhoods heard of the proposal with interest but insisted however, that the proposition was not a new one. "I knew a week ago," one of the officials said, "that the railroad managers had such a proposition in mind."

Referred To General Board. None of the brotherhood officials would commit himself on what the attitude of the employes would be toward such a proposal but they did not appear optimistic over the likelihood of it proving acceptable.

It was pointed out by the employes' representatives, however, that if sucli a proposition were tendered in concrete form to them they could only refer it to the general board, composed of six hundred committee chairmen now in New York.

It was probable, one of the officials said, if such a proposition were submitted to them through the president today that they would return to New York and place it before the general board.

DEBS' VIEW OF MATTER.

Says Railroad Men Have Never Wanted to Strike. Will there be a railroad strike? Eugene V. Debs says no! Mr. Debs ought to be in a position to know. It will be recalled that Mr. Debs first came into prominence as the leader of the disastrous A. R. U. car strike In Chicago in 1894. Mr. Debs was a railroad man then and he has kept in touch with the trainmen ever since. He knows their sentiments and their feelings about the strike. ^Mr. Debs talked Tuesday morning and some of the railroad men may not like very well what he said. As he talked he spoke of his sympathy for them but his enthusiasm grew when he declared that he had a larger vision than the railroad man's. This is what Mr. Debs said: "In the- first place there'll be no

strike. There never was any probability of a strike. The brotherhoods voted by a large majority for a strike but they do not want a strike. On the other hand the railroads are not at all averse to a rupture with the brotherhoods. They have had over a year's time to prepare and they are prepared thoroughly for whatever may happen. "The issue involved is of a nature that admits of no arbitration. The demand of the employes must either be granted wholly or wholly denied. Even If the eight hour day should be conceded by the railroads without the supplementary proposition for the overtime nothing would be gained but the employes would be left practically where they are today. "The vital element of the demands is time and one-half for overtime. If this is conceded it will enforce the eight hour day for the reason that the railroads will see to it that the trains get over the roads within the eight hours to avoid the excess pay at the time and one-half rate." "If the overtime be denied them nothing is gained by the employes and they, are simply defeated in the controversy."

ASKS EMBARGO ON PAPER.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.—Proposals to authorize President Wilson to lay an embargo upon exports of print paper, to relieve present shortage, until the federal trade commission report's on the paper situation are contained in a resolution introduced today by Rep. Hastings, of Oklahoma, which was referred to the foreign affairs committee.

AN OLD, OLD STORY.

Two oth^r men, accused by Kelly, are being sought. He alleges that he met the men in a local hotel and allowed them to place several small bets for him. His money and "winnings" were returned, he said. Then, he declares, he was induced to give the men $15,000 to bet. This time, Kelly told the police, he did not get any money back.

health commissioners for quarantine. The present laws for the charge of the plague's patients were made before it was known to be so dangerously epidemic in character. However, the high 'death rate shows well 'enough that it will require the most rigoroua surveillance and health commissioners in towns where the disease has not yet made great progress are resolving to use every preventative means regardless of the letter of the law. Established cases of infantile paralysis will be strictly quarantined most everywhere hereafter though it is not commonly considered" by the quarantine laws.

Seeking a Serum.

While the disease continues to hold its own in Manhattan and through the Bronx and Queens, local specialists at the Willard Parker hospital, where the small victims are being given particular study, are interested In the use of a new serum though they are unwilling to publish a definite opinion as to its value. The serum is taken from the blood of the average normal adult or from children who have shown no susceptibility to the disease. It is used on the theory that the blood of such a oerson contains a natural aerum combating the paralysis and will -be effective in the blood of a patient. The physicians using it have seen the prompt recovery of children whose blood has received it but there has also been a recovery as prompt among children when the serum wasn't used.

New Jersey's state wide quarantine against the plague was put into effect today. Special guards were placed at all terminal points to prevent children under sixteen years from entering the state and local restrictions of a most stringent character were ordered at the various coast resorts.

Thirty-Nine Deaths Today. NEW YORK, Aug. 15.^-The epidemic of infantile paralysis has taken a turn for the worse despite the continuation of unusual cool weiather. During the 24 hours ending at 10 a. m. today 163 new cases of the disease and thirty-nine deaths were reported to the health department. This is an increase in new cases of nearly 100 per cent over yesterday's figure, which showed 95 were striken with the plague and 31 were killed.

HAS CHILDREN IN TERRE HAUTE.

BLOOMINGDALE, Ind., Aug. 15.— Mrs. Elizabeth T. McCoy, one of the oldest women in Indiana, celebrated her 105th birthday anniversary today at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Rachel Marks, near Tangier.

Kaiser Speeds to East Front to Cheer on His Army. BERLIN, Aug. 15.—Emperor William is again on the eastern front where the Austro-German armies are struggling desperately to withstand the heavy strokes of the Russians in Gaiicia and Volhynia.
