LABOR LEADERS AID BEVERIDEE

Report On His Work for People Worries Opposition.

KEEGAN ISSUES CIRCULAR

Pails to Say Anything to Meet Facts Recited in Document Put Out by Nine Labor Leaders of State—Many

Measures Supported by Beveridge

Are Listed by Investigators.

Labor men in Indiana are for the Republican ticket this year, as a rule. Not only do they approve Republican policies and disapprove the Democratic attack on the protective principle, but they are especially desirous of showing their entire disapproval of the conduct of Democrats who doublecrossed labor in the Indiana legislature of 1909.

Added to this is the fact that labor men, regardless of party, are friendly to Senator Beveridge, who is up for re-election this year.

Nine labor leaders of Indiana have prepared a report on Beveridge's Labor Record. The showing of facts in this circular, which is to have wide circulation, caused the Democratic opposition to cogitate deeply. The result of his cogitation is a circular prepared, it is announced, by James J. Keegan, a Democrat, who is running for office. Mr. Keegan points out the fact that the child labor law which Senator Beveridge, Roosevelt and others have been trying to enact, is still pending.

Mr. Keegan carefully refrains from pointing out that it took seventeen years to pass the pure food laws, some nine or ten years to force through meat inspection, and a score of years to secure the department of commerce and labor. Mr. Keegan also neglects to show that Senator Beveridge was foremost in pushing these great reforms, along with others of like importance to labor.

Now the nine labor leaders who signed the report on Beveridge are not •o careful in suppressing facts as Mr. Keegan is. They tell the truth as they find it. For instance, their report •hows Beveridge working for the eight-hour-day law, for the safety appliances acts, for the improvement of compensation laws, for just liabilities laws, for the limited hours of labor law on railroads, and for a fair injunction law.

The circular quotes the Beveridge injunction bill, which, by the way, is believed to be the solution of the problem of injunctions in labor disputes.

Senator Beveridge still has on hand at this time his crusade to force the meat packers to date their labels and to pay for inspection. This fact is pointed out to labor men, and they are especially reminded that "great reforms come slowly, but they do come."

In closing their report, the labor leaders, headed by Theodore Perry, printer, of Indianapolis, says: "It is but natural that laboring men and women should show, as they are showing, every day, a lively interest in the political fortunes of their friend and co-worker, Senator Beveridge."

Latest Campaign Button

The first campaign button to appear on the lapels of Indiana voters gained immediate popularity, and is now being worn in all parts of the state by militant Republicans. The button bears the picture of Senator Beveridge, and the words, "A Beveridge Volunteer." There is a large and growing demand for the buttons from every direction, and the Republican state committee is supplying tHe buttons to meet every call.

Flag On the Stamps.

Favorable comment tias been caused by the suggestion of S. B. Beshore, a veteran of the civil war, living at Marlon, Ind., that the Stars and Stripes be used on the IT. S. postage stamps in- future. Mr. Beshore believes the stamps should express the national idea, which cannot be carried abroad by the features of any statesman unless it be in the cases of Washington and Lincoln. The men who have fought beneath the flag are taking lively interest in Mr. Beshore's sugges tion. It is announced that a similar plan will be carried out in England where King George has declared in favor of a symbol of nationalism for use on the stamps.

MUCH BRIGHTER

Governor Marshall Holds Warden Appointment Over.

DOOGES WRATH OF VOTERS

May Carry Out Fleming Pledge to South Bend Politician, But Will Not Deliver Goods Until After Fall Elec­

tion—How Wardenship Was Peddled By Governor's Agent.

Governor Marshall and his board of trustees nave put off the naming of a new warden for the state's prison until next December. The Democratic governor pays high tribute to the late Warden Reid, Republican, and says he hopes to find a man who will keep the institution out of politics as Mr. Reid did.

In order to avoid political complications, the governor prefers to wait until after election day. Is the governor ashamed of the man he has promised the job to? Or does he fear the spoilsmen's wrath and the adverse effect on politicians of a decent appointment?

Steve Fleming, according to the story told at the time of the state convention, has a man picked for the wardenship. Not only that, but it is related that Fleming promised the appointment to Ed Fogarty of South Bend in return for half the St. Joseph county delegation.

It was at the time Governor Marshall wanted delegates mighty bad. It was the time when the governor beat Tom Taggart by thirty votes in the state convention and forced the convention to select a senatorial candidate.

Ed Fogarty's bunch carried the day for the governor. The delegates from St. Joseph county believed they were voting in Fogarty's interests. They had the wardenship in mind, on pledge made by Steve Fleming. It is said Governor Marshall did not know of the Fleming pledge. That is not the question. The question now is, will the governor carry out Fleming's promise to Fogarty? It looks as if he would. It appears to the average man that- Governor Marshall intends to name Ed Fogarty as warden of the state's prison, and it appears also that he is so completely ashamed of the deal that rrnv'sely delays matters in orde. to a iu the political bad effects of an ii political appointment.

KEEGAN'S REASON.

Why Self-Styled Labor Leader Attacks Beveridge Child Labor Reform Bill.

When James J. Keegan, Democratic legislative candidate, attacks the Beveridge child labor bill, he takes himself entirely out of the realm of labor. Keegan poses as a labor man, seeking the aid of labor. How can he expect to receive such help while he attacks the Beveridge child labor bill, which is labor's hope? Keegan's plight goes to show what a boss-ridden ambition may lead a man to. Steve Fleming doesn't like the child labor reform movement. Fleming recently paid some fines under the Indiana child labor law. Keegan is backed by Fleming. So Keegan is forced to attack the idea of child labor reform to pleas* his boss, Steve Fleming.

A special from Tipton, says: Six pine boxes that stood on the sidewalk in front of Young's morgue this morning were vjewed by hundreds of the curious who had come from miles around to see the solemn closing chapter of the disastrous wreck on the Indiana Union Traction company line, which occurred near here yesterday. So far as Tipton citizens were concerned, admittance to the morgue was, refused. Only sorrowing relatives and friends were admitted. John Broo, of Kokomo, sat beside the body of his son, Lewis, and William Railsback near that of his son, Virgil. Alfred Walsh, of Marshall, Mich., was here to arrange for the shipment of the body of his father, B. F. Walsh. W. G. Coxon, of Kokomo, who was to accompany the bodies of Dr. Holthausen and his brother to Brooklyn, came as representative of the family of the dead young men. Mrs. Joshua Baker, widow of the motorman killed, who remained at the home of friends over night, did not visit the morgue. This morning the 10:30 car, running on the schedule of the wrecked train of Saturday, bore Baker's body to Logansport, that of Broo to Kokomo and Walsh's to Peru for shipment to his home. Three ambulances made another trip this afternoon to the Lake Erie depot, where the bodies of the Holthausen brothers were started on the sad return trip to Brooklyn. The body of Virgil Railsback was taken on the same Panhandle train to his home in Sullivan county. All day automobiles and other vehicles carried sight-seers to the place of the wreck. There were only .broken pieces of the cars, the cargo of flour, coffee, candy and other merchandise from barrels and boxes on the wrecked freight distributed along the track to show where the horror occurred. Bits of human flesh were found. The fascination of the grewsome place held hundreds of people all Sunday afternoon and the passengers who were the first to assist the injured after the wreck were called upon to relate the story again.

He was with Sherman in the March to the Sea and was a true and faithful soldier. He was a son of christian parents and he early in life became acquainted with Christ and found him a personal Savior from sin. He united with the M. E. church at Old Gilboa about twenty-five years ago and was an earnest and faithful to the end. He enjoyed and loved the service of the church work. Some twelve months ago he slowly but surely began the decent to end his life on earth but day by day he was getting ready to meet it. He retained his mental faculties to the last few moments before he left for his spirit home, he said,

Oh its all glory, glory." He was a faithful husband, a true father and accommodating neighbor. He was a member of the Dunbar Post No. 92, G. A. R., of Greenfield, also of the I. O. O. F. of of Charlottesville, No. 277.

At the noon hour of September 19, 1910, he bade farewell to earth and its cares and went to his spirit home at the age of 64 years 9 months and 28 days.

the north and south division, on which the wreck occurred, and they scout the idea of the curve being a serious menace. Others who visited the scene, among them being the county officers, who measured distances, declared that it was by no means a dangerous bit of track and that, while the grade was to the south, proper attention to the brakes should have partially stopped the car and prevented the collision. The information in the hands of the coroner at present is that the crew of the freight car saved themselves without trying to check the force of the collision.

The trainmen, the farmers near the scene of the wreck and the other employes of the road familiar with the conditions on the Tipton and Logansport division have been called as witnesses. All of the passengers were interrogated before their departure for their homes or to their destination last night. It was stated that Lacy of the freight car admitted to the traction officials at their offices here that he had run past his orders. This admission was made, it is said, when the participants in the affair were excited and the coroner will not use it against the Indianapolis man, who will be called. Citizens are criticising the fact that new men are being placed on the cars. The list of the dead will remain at six.

BASSET! GUILTY AS

Jury in Squire's Court Returns Verdict

Against Shelby County Auto

Driver.

The trial of the case of the State of Indiana vs. George Bassett for violating thew speed laws on the public highway was concluded Wednesday in the court of Vinton A. Smith, justice of the peace, and at 5 o'clock the jury returned a verdict of guilty fixing the fine at one dollar and costs. It is understood an appeal to the circuit court will be taken.

This case attracted more attention than any tried in a justice of the peace court for many a day. It was bitterly contested and much of the two days' trial was devoted to arguments on questions of the law of evidence by the opposing lawyers, Elmer Bassett, of Shelbyville, for the defense and Charles L. Tindall, assistant to the prosecutor, for the State. Mr. Bassett contended that a conviction of the defendant was songht in order that it might be of advantage in a damage suit contemplated against the defendant by Mrs. Boring, one of the women in the buggy when it was upset by the horse frightening at the automobile driven by George Bassett, and when Mrs. Boring was on the stand she testified that a damage suit had been discussed.

The evidence convinced the jury that Bassett was driving his machine faster than the law permits when signaled by the driver of a horse. The accident occurred near the Shiloh church in Blue River township. Mrs. Amy Smith and Mrs. Boring were driving south on the road that passes along the east side of the church, and the automobile, containing six men, turned the corner from the east going north. The women drove to the side of the road, the passing auto frightening the horse, which upset the buggy. The automobile stopped up the road but continued on its way, the men not returning to assist the women in their difficulty.

City Will Bring Up Question of Right

of County to Receive Interest on

Corporation Money.

The regular session of the city council last night was unusually brief. Little business came before the meeting which was adjourned until Monday evening.

Superintendent Wolfe of the electric light plant reported that he had arranged for the labor and material for the foundation for the new engine to be installed. The superintendent was instructed to sell old valves, etc., at this plant.

The question of the right of the county to hold the city's taxes a year or so before the money is turned over to the city treasurer is to be taken up with the county auditor. The taxes collected now are not turned over until next January, the county receiving the interest on the money when the city contends the interest should come to it.

A cemetery deed was authorized made to Samuel Crump. The street commissioner was instructed to lower the Keefer ditch.

Pawpaws Are Here.

Pawpaws—luscious and delicious when ripe and worse than green apples when green—have made their appearance on the local market. The pawpaw crop is said to be good this year and there will be plenty of the fruit on the market a littte later.

R. V. Hodson, who has for some years carried on a prosperous business in agricultural implements in Shirley, has decided to quit. He has now definitely decided to close his .store Oct. 1st. He may go on a farm, though the matter is not yet in definite shape. This leaves Shirley without a store in that line.

MRS. HUN STEELE DIES AI SANITARIUM

Township and Mother of Sam

Steele of This City.

Mrs. May Steele, wife of Franklin Steele, of Buck Creek township, probably the largest land owner in Hancock county, and the mother of Samuel Steele, of this city, died Monday evening at Fletcher's Sanitarium, Indianapolis, where she had been for some time.

The body was brought to the Steele home in Buck Creek township soon after death and the funeral services will be held there at 10 o'clock Thursday morning, and interment at Park cemetery. Oak S. Morrison is the undertaker in charge.

Mrs. Steele was born in 1859, the daughter of Horace and Amanda (Cory) Guild. Her father was a native of Connecticut and went to Ohio in his youth and learned the trade of wagon making. Later coming to McCordsville, this county, he engaged in the milling business with Charles McCord. He was also a musician and a teacher of the art. On March 20, 1878, Miss May Guild wasmarried to Franklin Steele, and located on the farm in Buck Creek township. She was a great help to her husband and together they added to the fortune with which they began their married life until at the present time Mr. Steele is the heaviest individual taxpayer in this county. They have three children, Samuel Steele, of this city, John, of Buck Creek township, and Paul, at home.

Mrs. Steele's health had been failing for more than a year and recently she was taken to the sanitarium where she would receive better care and nursing than possible in the country. She has two sisters, Mrs. A. J. Gale and Mrs. G. D. Prevo.

Clancey Wolfe, who returned from Salem. Illinois, a few days ago, has just completed a creamery plant in that town, which included in addition to the creamersr machinery a department for ice cream and cold storage. Mr. Wolfo superintended the installation of all the machinery.
