RIFLES

ARE BEING HIED

Captain Duddleston Plans Crack Military Company—Will Wear West Point Uniforms.

A new military company Is "to be organized here under the name of- the Ft. Harrison Rifles, and intended to be patterned after the crack companies, the Cleveland Grays and the Seventh regiment,' 'New York. The company will take its name from Ft. Harrison, the historic spot north of the city, the defense of which wasi one of the most interesting events in the history of the northwest territory. The new company will take the designation of Company B, Second Indiana infantry. The company will be recruited from young men between the ages of 18 and 25. The first staff of officers will be as follows:

Captain, A. C. Duddleston first lieutenant, J. Harry Miller, for three years a student at Culver Military academy, a member-for years of Terre Haute company No. 3, and formerly second lieutenant of the prize drilling team second lieutenant, Marcel Urban, a graduate of Culver Military academy) rated as A1 by the war department, and known as one of the beat military schools In the country. Mr. Urban'B military proficiency won him a place as a commissioned officer in the famous cadet corps of Culver.

Permission to form the company was granted by General Harry B. Smith, adjutant general of the Indiana national guard, last week, to replace the original Company B, whicb is to be transferred to the cavalry branch of the service as one of the troops' of a cavalry squadron -to be organized in the. national guard- Captain Duddleston, In speaking of his plans, said: «j hope that it will be possible to raise by popular subscription the funds to equip the company, in addition to the service uniforms furnished by the state, with a full dress uniform similar to that worn by the West Point cadets —gray, with white cross and waist belts,- shako, etc. It has been suggested that a* uniform ^atternejl after that worn by the regulars in 1812, when a garrison was maintained at Ft. Hartison, might pi£ve popular. I have written the war department for a copy of the specifications of this uniform, if possible to secure them, and it may prove popular, but personally I prefer the West Point uniform. Such a company would prove a permanent advertisement for Terre Haute, and should interest the young men of the city. "If successful In organizing the company, it would revive some of the military enthusiasm of tpe early '80's, when Terre Haute, in the Light Guards, the Governor's Guards and the McKeen Rifles, was advertised all over the country by their merits. If the officers selected for the new company have any talents in a military way, it .seems proper that they should offer their services at a time likp this, when national preparedness is a leading question. ^They have entered on' i the project with that feeling, and I believe the patriotic spirit here will justify the- enterprise. "I was shown every consideration by General Smith, who, in addition to being a splendid gentleman, is an Ideal military man, and he offered to come over and aid us at any time that his services are needed. If able to perfect the' organization, it is the hop^ of the officers to be able to maintain the high reputation held by Company B, under Captain Monnlnger. and Captain Wliner, and those who preceded them, and who made* It one of the best infantry units In the Indiana national guard. This reputation followed the company to the border, where it was. regarded by regular army officers as one of the best organizations called out by the mobilization last year."

Plot Net Snares Another German

i HANS SCHWARTZ. With the arrest of Hans Schwartz the police of Hoboken, N. J., believe they have completed their chain of evidence against Fritz Kolb, the German reservist who* 1b believed to have blown up American munitions factories and to havo plotted the destruction of others. Schwartz, who, like Kolb, is a. chemist, admits he gave Kolb advice as to how to prepare: explosives, but he denies complicity In any of the plots for which Kolb is being held.

brotherhoods. First signs of real peacc between the two camps came when Daniel Williard hurried down to the manager's meeting—just a floor belcvy chiefs—and brought a sub-committee of six back for a joint session.

Half an hour later it was announced that the strike had been postponed. The following brief statement, signed by Secretary Lane and the other mediators, was isst^ed: "At our request, and *out of appreciation of the international situation, tlie brotherhoods and the railroad managers have resumed negotiations, and in the hope that some adjustment may be had that will avoid the necessity of a strike, the brotherhood:! have wired or telephoned their general chairmen asking that all action be postponed for .forty-eight hours, and, unless prior to thai time advised of a settlement, the men will leave the service under the authority already given."

The mediators immediately retired to absolute seclusion. They had had no sleep since they left Washington at 4 o'clock Friday afternoon knd were determined to make up their much needed rest.

Neither would the managers have anything to say. Elisha Lee, chairman, sent out word that anything regarding the definite proposition submitted by the mediators must come from that body.

Wilson's Offer Secret.

President, Wilson's offer, conveyed by the mediators, is a carefully guarded secret.

Not even an inkling

of what form it took was announced. Questions which took every shape and form, from an open itftimatum from the president!, to a patriotic appeal, were answered with the ready reply, "Absolutely nothing to say."

During "dull" periods the conferees inquired anxiously of %iews of the country. When informed of the news carried in press dispatches they lost no time in communicating the reports to their respective camps.

It was a day of terision, doubt and finally unbounded hope? Thev strain told on every man and, despite their hopes of ending the danger of a strike all eyes turned towards the supreme court in-Washington. Unless some decision is forthcoming from that tribunal before 6 o'clock Monday night, railway managers feared today's work might be upset. An adverse decision would loose a storm of protests which it is feared the mediators might not be able to stem.

One of ihe questions brougnt up at today's meetings was the application of this law. In the event of the supreme court handing down a decision minus a statement as to its application, labor leaders declared tonight the mediators will undoubtedly be called upon to do this work. It is understood on high authority that brotherhood chiefs would at .least be willing to shbmit the question to this board. The brotherhood chiefs are. openly pleased with the manner in which the mediators have handled the situation. They are willing to "stretch a point" for Lane, Wilson and Willard.

Gompers Absent,

On=t member of the befard, as named by the council of national defense ir. Washington, and approved by President Wilson, has been absent. He is Samuel Gompers, president of the A.' F. of L. Gompers is said to be in Atlantic City. His telegram, requesting him to attend the conferences, as a mediator, was addressed to New York.

PRESIDENT STILL AT WORK.

Continues Plans to Prevent Strike on Nation's Railroads. WASHINGTON, March I?.—President Wilson is not completely satisfied that danger of a strike on the 250,0#00 miles of this nation's railroad systems has been wholly averted. At any rate, he continued tonight to work on plans for meeting any developments that might come when the 48-hour truce is up. He hoped," however, with other administration officials, that the concession by the big four chiefs might mean they are willing to go their limit in finding a solution to their differences with the ra/lroad managers.

Monday is decision day in the supreme court. The Adamson law decision was "expected" by sharps who follow the court's decisions last Monday and the Monday preceding. Such believed tonight the' decision would certainly be handed down day after tomorrow. The fact that it has not been handed down before, some lawyers argue, is a sign the court is divided.
