Labor Day Proclamation Issued by Governor Marshall.

Governor Marshall has issued the following Labor Day proclamation: “Whoever sees the shuttle dart across the loom and views the wondrous works of modern machinery, whoever hears the complex noises of industrial life, whoever feels the pulsing of the power behind our progress, whoever tasts the ripened fruitage of the field and vine and thinks only of the brain behind it all, is half made in the world } where whole men are needed. The race and all its hopes will come to naught only when its children are born armless. The de-» signer is impotent without the builder. Our civilization is ambidextrous he who does things must be either one hand or the other. Indiana has been wise enough to remember this and by law to provide that the first Monday in September shall be a holy day for labor. Let us this year keep it gladly, not grudgingly; let us keep it in the spirit as well as ii» the letter; keep it with a vow to deal justly with and think kindly of those who make life bearable, nay, even beautiful; keep it as our brothers, not our servants’ birthday. In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused to be affixed the great seal of the state of Indiana at the capitol in the city of Indianapolis, the 21st day of August, in the year of our Lord 1912.”

INDIANA BANKS NOTE AN EPIDEMIC OF FORGERY.

President of Local Institution Asserts That Bad Checks are Reported Every Day. Indianapolis Star. That there is an epidemic of forgery in Indiana was the conclusion reached by Frank D. Stalnaker, president of the Indiana National Bank, after a couple of rural banks called the Indiana National yesterday and told of false checks having been presented them for payment There is seldom a day, Mr. Stalnaker states, that some bank does not call by long distance telephone to report a case of forgery or to inquire if some person has sufficient funds on deposit here to pay checks he has circulated. “It seems to be in the aiT,” commented Mr. Stalnaker, “and I have never heard of as many cases in Indiana since I became a banker. Forgery appears to have a vogue of several weeks every few years. It usually begins by some small bank, or large one for that matter, receiving a check over which some- question develops, and in most instances it is discovered that the check bears a false ,signature, or is presented by some man against a distant bank where he has no deposits.” While Mr. Stalnaker was discussing forgery, Gwynn F. Patterson, cashier at the bank, asserted that a check for SSOO, which was presented at an Indianapolis store several days ago by a strange man, had just been reported of no value by a bank in Michigan against which it was drawn. The man in this case appeared at local establishments and began making big purchases. He was regarded as one of the shrewdest buyers the store had seen in some time and after he contracted his purchases, issued a check for SSOO on his “home bank” in Michigan. The goods were not to be removed until the store heard from the Michigan bank, which was entirely satisfactory to the buyer. This fake purchase, it appears, was merely a ruse by which the forger hoped to cash a check later. Some time after closing the deal, and, as he knew, before the firm could get in touch with the Michigan bank, he returned and indicated that he was in need of some ready money and presented a S3O check, which he asked to have cashed. He was refused and left. He never returned for the goods he bought and efforts to locate him failed. Yesterday it was learned that the man did not have a penny on deposit at the Michigan bank.

Hay Crop Will Exceed Last Year’s by Millions of Tons.

Grain dealers and farmers of the country are much interested in latest government report touching the 1912 hay crop. This report states that the hay crop this year will exceed that of last year by 16,000,000 tons. This means more hay than the country has had for a long time. The general prediction is that the price of hay for the next few months will be considerably lower than it has been the last year. The abundance of bay also is expected to have some effect toward more moderate prices of corn, but the fact crop lacks somewhat of being up to standard probably will result in that staple staying at a fairly high figure.

Reports Twenty-Four Children Living in Four Rooms.

A story of hardship and neglect is told by the officials of the board of state charities in Indianapolis in a report issued Friday on the conditions found by investigators in a children’s home in Randolph county. The report in part follows: “The board of state charities was informed that twenty-four colored children, who have been living in a little four-roomed house in Losantsville, Randolph county, have been taken to Springfield, Ohio. The children came to Indiana several weeks ago. "Twenty-seven came to Indiana in charge of a colored housekeeper. Three were placed in private families and the agent found the remaining twentyfour in a residence of four rooms. “The only furniture was two tables, a gasoline stove and a bed for the matron. The children were sleeping on the bare floor with old clothes for cevering. Their food and clothing were very scant. Their food, consisting mainly of apples or raw onions and crackers, was eaten from tin pans and the children sitting on the floor. “Mrs. Steel, the matron, said the children were sent to Indiana simply for an outing and that she intended returning them to Chattanooga in October. When informed of the Indiana law which requires that such homes be licensed by the board of state charities, she requested a license, but the board refused to grant it and the children have now been removed from the state.” It is understood that Mrs. Steele travels much of the time, making addresses in the interest of her work, for which she receives liberal donations?

“A Modern Ere."

The opening of the Fall Season in Chicago still finds that champion of all musical successes, “A Modern Eve” the king-pin attraction of the city, and it has entered upon Its eighteenth week at the Garrick to the usual capacity business and up to and including Saturday night, August 17th, 160,995 persons have attended “A Modern Eve.” It is quite evident that “A Modern Eve” possesses a phenomenal hold upon playgoers, and that it will still be some time before Chicago is willing to permit the Mort H. Singer musical success to depart. If ever there was a happily devised situation to send an audience away laughing, it is the brilliant divorce court finale in “A Modern Eve," wherein a dominating mother-in-law, her down-trod-den husband, a flirtatious judge and a young married couple engage in a legal controversy, the developments of which are decidedly humorous. IMort H. Singer has never assembled a more attractive and capable cast than the one appearing in “A Modern Eve.” The chorus is a particularly superior aggregation of stage beauties. There are nightly performances, including Sundays, of "A Modern Eve,” and matinees are given on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Out of town orders for reservations for, all performances can be made by long distance telephone or by mall, the management taking special pains to accommodate visitors.
