THOSE “REPORTERS” WHAT MEX WHO GATHERED SEXTIXEL INTERVIEWS SAV. Tom Gruelle Hired Them nnd Took Tlielr Xoles, Wlileh Were Grossly Altered. SAY THEY SAW PROSPERITY REFUSED TO SIGX AFFIDAVITS WHICH GRUELLE PRESENTED. Knight A Jillson and Other Firms That Democratic Organ Tried to Hart. Yesterday afternoon a Journal reporter, in company with others, listened to the statements of the three men who collected the reports out of which the Sentinel made Its calamity howl. Tho men are Charles Oliver and Clarence Ripley, members of the Painters’ Union, and John Ray, a young man who is a general laborer but not a member of any union, as there is none with which he could affiliate. The gist of these statements is that Thos. M. Gruelle, who is well known in and out of labor circles, approached the three men separately about ten days ago and asked them if they wanted employment. They did. He told them he had a job that he wanted them to do in the way of collecting statistics for the labor bureau, or something of that sort. “He wanted us,” said one of the men, “to go around to the factories and inquire for employment and ascertain such facts as we could from managers about their business. We were given a book each in which we were to write such answers as we could. We were to ask for work, but we needn't go to work, but were to take the answers. Gruelle promised the average of a day’s work for a time, with car fares. Two of us went over the same route on different days. He told us that it would lead to a good job, in all probability, as some man who is high up was behind it and would pay the bills. W T e worked until Saturday night, when Gruelle took our books and paid us something, but no car fares, with the promise to set us at work again on Monday morning. We were astonished to find a part of the reports we got published in the Sentinel of Monday morning." CHANGED THEIR REPORTS. “Did the Sentinel print the reports as you wrote them?” “Only a part of them. Many of the stories were swelled by statements we did not make; generally more was added to them. All three of us were told the same story—that a big man was behind it and that we should have four and probably six days’ employment at the work, but we got only two days. Gruelle never introduced us to anybody, but met us in doorways. Gruelle never told us that what he got was to be used in politics or printed. To show how what we got was misrepresented, one of us is made to say t;hat the Electric Light Company wanted men to get in coal in anticipation of a strike. I was told nothing of the sort. In many places we were told that they would employ more men but they had no room. At the canning establishment one of us was told that the season was over. All through the Sentinel statement constructions were put upon what we wrote that our words would not warrant.” In reply to a question Mr. Oliver said that work seemed much brisks in the places he went to than it was two years ago. In answer to the same question Mr. Ripley said; “Many more men must be employed now than two years ago, because the number of idle men on the streets is much smaller.” KNIGHT & JILLSON CASE. Mr. Ray, who is usually employed by the Indianapolis Rubber Company, said that he had been grossly misrepresented in regard to his statement about Knight & Jillson. He was told that they had just hired three men and that work waa a little dull, caused by the interruption of moving. “The foreman at the glue works," said he, “who told me to come again, was honest in what he said.” “Have you seen Gruelle since Saturday?” "Seen him? He has been laboring with us three times to-day to induce us to swear to a statement that what the Sentinel printed as being written by us is true,” said one of them, “but w r e refused, and we refused because what the Sentinel printed is not what we wrote in the books.” “Gruelle told us.” another went on, “that he wanted the affidavit to show some Republican workingmen that what the Sentinel printed is true, and by our names show that we are laboring men and not the softhanded reporters of the Sentinel.” "We never intended to be used to make it appear that great numbers of laboring men and mechanics are out of employment, because we do not believe it. We generally saw well-filled and busy shops,” said one of the men in the presence of the other two. “The last time we saw Gruelle he wanted us to make oath to a paper which he had changed, but we refused because he has deceived us once.” Each of the men talked freely and gave instances in which they were misrepresented by what was printed in the Sentinel.

Below is given a table which fairly and representatively Illustrates the improved industrial conditions in Indiana since McKinley prosperity began. These eleven establishments. among those to whom inquiries were sent, furnished comparative tables for the three periods of 1894, when the Democratic hard times were on, 1896, the year of McK!nley’9 election, and 1898, the present year of prosperity.

Central Labor Union'* Experience with Till* Democrat. Leon Bailey is not the only Democratic candidate who has run afoul organized labor. Mr. Bailey’s effort to bring into this district as an ally “Knights of I*abor” Hayes, a man thoroughly despised by all labor unions, stirred up a strong resentment among union men. The charges that Bailey had invited Hayes here, printed in both the Journal and the News several times, have never been denied by the Sentinel. Indeed, that paper, evidently recognizing the truth of the charges, has ignored the whole matter. Peter Sindlinger,. Democratic candidate for county treasurer, is the other candidate who has been tabooed by the Central Labor Union, as be has opposed organized labor. The following, which appeared in the news columns of the daily German Telegraph. a Democratic free-silver paper, on April 24. 1894, shows the action taken by the Central Labor Union in regard to Sindllnger. who is in the butcher business; “The grievance committee reporta that

Adopted.” MAXY NEW FACTORIES. Wane* a* Good iim at Any Period, Says Inspector MeAbee. State Factory Inspector MeAbee returned yesterday from a long trip over the State. In discussing the condition of trade as he found it in Indiana he said: “There are more people at work in Indiana now than at any time in tho history of the State. This is true in spite of the genera! use of new laborsaving machines. Moreover, wages are fully as good as at any' other period I have known. Many of the trades have been revolutionized and in some cases abandoned because of changed conditions and this statement does not apply to them, hut averaging it up, the working people of the State are receiving as good wages as they ever did. I only found one ciiy where the factories were not as prosperous as they might have been and the oniy' factories I found in which trade was not brisk were those which were involved in litigation. As an illustration, take the Darnell mill at Muncie, which would be running now were it not tied up by litigation. New factories are starting up all over the State and the outlook is promising all around.” THE GLAMOUR OF SILKS MRS. MOLLY JEXKIXS AXD MISS CLARA JEXKIXS ARRESTED. +. Each, It I* Alleged, “Lifted*’ *3 Worth of Goods in n Store—MerchnntM* Action. Newspaper readers may have gained the impression that an epidemic of shoplifting has taken a strong hold in Indianapolis. Though it may be that there have been more cases of shoplifting in the last few weeks than before, the publicity that has been given to them is due to the fact that the merchants have tired of losses and constant watchfulness and are making a determined effort to punish all who steal from the stores. The police aro informed that the Merchants’ Association has employed attorneys to prosecute shoplifters. Cases of shoplifting have been common enough, but when the guilty ones have shown “respectability” in most cases they have been taken to the office of the manager of the store and threatened with arrest and finally let go with the warning that they will be prosecuted if they are again discovered taking goods without paying for them. Yesterday afternoon two more women charged with stealing in the down-town stores were slated for shoplifting. They were Mrs. Molly Je.ikins, forty years old, of 1047 East Vermont street, and Clara Jenkins, twenty-three years old, wdio came to this city from Muncie on Monday. The women say they are not related to each other and never met before. Detective Weible brought them both in. Detective Weible was called to Block & Co.’s store on Washington street, and as he entered the door a fioor walker pointed out the younger of the two women and said, “There is one of the women you want.” She was about to leave the store. The detective stopped her and asked what she had under her coat. She pulled out a small package. It was a piece of silk worth $3, wrapped in paper. She confessed without hesitation that she had taken it from one of the counters and had wrapped it with a piece of paper she found. The detective led her into the manager’s office, where the older woman had been taken after, as alleged, ehe was detected “lifting” a piece of silk the same value as that tne younger woman had stolen. It seemed at first that Mrs. Jenkins had slipped out of the office, but a glance around the room revealed that sne was crouching under a stairway. When she was discovered she came from her hiding place. She wore a black silk dress and it was smirched gray with dust and laced with cobwebs from the walls of her retreat. She made a pathetic scene, but was taken to the police station with her companion. She sobbed and cried when she was put behind the bars, and begged that she be released, saying she would gladly pay for what she had taken. “Oh, I don’t know why I did it,” she exclaimed. “1 didn't need it. Please let me out. I’ll die if I have to stay here.” “Are you married?” she was asked. “Oh, yes,” she moaned. "I have a family. Oh, please unlock this door and let me go.” She seemed on the verge of going into a hysterical fit. Her behavior was in contrast to that of the other woman. Clara Jenkins was cool and resigned to her harsh apartment. She said that she had no family and had worked a year in a boarding house in Muncie. She was well dressed and she answered questions as quietly and politely as if she had been serving meals to the guests of the boarding house which she had left two days ago. She also said “she didn’t know why she did it.” She needed neither the goods, she said, nor the money the goods might bring. She had $3. “I have a gentleman friend here,” she said, “but I wouldn’t tell his name. He would feel himself disgraced if it became known that a woman he was acquainted with had been arrested. Are such cases as mine tried in Police Court?” Sue was told that her case would be tried in Police Court and that her bond was $250. She thanked her informant and said she did not have the money to bail herself out and had r.o friends here she would appeal to. She pleaded with her fellow-prisoner to go and lie down on a bunk and he quiet. “It will do no good,” she said, “to force yourself into hysterics.” “Oh. I can’t lie down,” cried the older woman. “I’ll die if they don't let me out. My husband must not learn of this.” She did not think it necessary to appear in Police Court and could not understand why she should be locked up when she was willing to pay for the goods. The younger woman had no such delusions. Mrs. Jenkins had a little money in her pocket and also a receipt showing she had paid taxes on household goods. Mrs. Jenkins sent out many messages to friends, ar.d late in the afternoon one of them bailed her out. She and the younger woman wall appear before Judge Cox this morning. Once the court waa lenient with shoplifters who appeared in the guise of “kleptomaniacs,” but not long ago he sent one, a well-dressed woman who had several hundred dollars in her pocket, to the woikbouse for shoplifting and announced his intention to break up the fast-growing evil if it were in his power. LORETTE CHANGES HANDS. Proprietor Morgan Left a Number of Unpaid Hill*. The Lorette Hotel has changed hands. Last March Cliff L. Morgan, of Gabon, 0.. came to this city and leased the empty building from Joseph Rink, furnished it on the installment plan and prospered. From the time the hotel opened it was filled with patronage, while its restaurant did a rushing business. Morgan, however, seemed not to have been able to stand prosperity and contracted many bills with grocers, laundrymen, butchers and others and, it is claimed, was constantly behind with his help. Recently ho decided to sell the place and found a purchaser in Mrs. B. A. Rhine, of Greenfield, who assumed possession Monday. As soon as he received the purchase money Morgan left the hotel and went to live temporarily at the English Hotel, hut during the one day he wan there he could not find time to pay his numerous hills due to his tradespeople. They, hearing of the sale of the hotel, and being anxious about their accounts, railed on him at the English, but were unable to have their demands snisfied. The visits becoming too frequent for comfort. Morgan Monday afternoon left town suddenly and has not been heard from since except in a remote way. None of the help in the hotel has been paid regulurly and all of them claimed to have wages due them running from $lO to S4O, which they fear they will never receive. In addition there are accounts due business houses aggregating over $2.000i What the amounts are cannot be learned accurately in each case until the creditors present hills, while the identity of many creditors is still a matter of speculation, as most of the goods were received by the help without knowing where it came from. It was reported at the hotel yesterday that Morgan had been heard from at Terre Haute but the statement could not be confirmed. Knox Ladies’ Pearl soft Hats, Opera, silk ami' Derby; New York latest.

FOUR SCORE AND ACTIVE REA'. T. A. GOOD AY IX CELEBRATES HIS ANNIVERSARY TO-DAY. A Character in the State** HistoryTribute of Judge D. I*. Baldwin. 4_ Rev. Thomas A. Goodwin, D. D., to-day puts on the royal purple of the octogenarian. He is probably more familiar with Indiana, its history, its men and measures, its wants and needs, than any other living man. And the best of it all is that he is as bright and alert as he was fifty years ago. Last month he occupied the pulpit of the Meridian-street M. E. Church and hardly a week passes that the Journal does not publish some bright, incisive article from his pen, which articles are almost universally read by tho patrons of this paper, Mr. Goodwin will observe his anniversary by being at home to his friends this afternoon at 1220 College avenue. “If Dr. Goodwin was not born in Indiana he came here very early in life,” said exJudge D. P. Baldwin, in speaking of the venerable minister, “for in September, 1837, we find him a boy not yet nineteen years old, at Grcencastle, with eighteen other lads who w r ere members of the old Putnam County Seminary, then under the charge of Dr. Cyrus Nutt. As Dr. Goodwin did not reside in Putnam county, he had to be enrolled as a student of Asbury University, then in its swaddling clothes. To Dr. Goodwin belongs the double honor of not only being th© first enrolled student, but in 1840 the first graduate of old Asbury University. “After his graduation he spent the next thirteen years of his long and useful life in pastoral work, occasionally varied by taking charge of some embryo college. It is good for us to pause and reflect upon Indiana as it was in those primitive days ‘before the war;’ no roads, no cities; its rivers unbridged; its people poor and its institutions undeveloped. Matthew Simpson, however, greatest of Methodist bishops, was at. the head of .Asbury and the Methodist Church of Indiana, and specimens of his handiwork can be found in men like Dr. Goodwin, exGovernor Porter, Judge Hauk, United States Senators Newton Booth, James Harlan and Daniel W. Voorhees, all pupils of his. Verily, ‘there were giants in those days.’ How comes it that our schools do not now turn out such timber? Is it because there are too many elective or too much athletics, and altogether too much luxury? Or, is it because, as Shakspeare puts it, Rome hath lost the breed of noble bloods?’ "Dr. Goodwin is a born fighter and his life-long contest has been and still is with ‘King Alcohol.’ What gray-haired man does not recall The Sons of Temperance, as they used to be in the 50’s? Os this order, our venerable friend was successively grand chaplain, grand scribe and grand worthy patriarch, and to promote its interests and aims Dr. Goodwin, in 1853—forty-five years ago, remember—purchased the Indiana American, then published at Brookville, and began the battle which in 1855 resulted in Indiana’s first and only prohibitory liquor law; a law which, for political reasons, soon afterwards was declared unconstitutional by Judge Perkins, of the Democratic Supreme Court. To render his newspaper more effective Dr. Gooawin, in 1857, moved it to Indianapolis, where he has ever since resided. . “This paper espoused the cause of the slave as well as the wrongs of the drunkard and because people loved the aggressive fighter it soon became a great power in politics, so much so that at the close of the great campaign of 1860 Henry S. Lane, newly elected Governor of Indiana, declared it had done more to carry Indiana for Lincoln than any other one agency. From the start this paper was L-e Dr. Goodwin himself, a lighter. While the leading organs of the North said ‘Let our erring sisters go in peace,’ Dr. Goodwin preached fight and denounced all schemes for peace commissions and peace conventions. His instincts in this respect were better than the conclusions of timid and learned statesmen or imposing conventions. He had the sagacity to see that ’without a little bloodletting the Union was not worth a rush.’ When the war was over Dr. Goodwin’s weekly paper was superseded by the great dailies and he voluntarily retired for this reason from the field of editorial labor, but his pen has ever since been active. Wherever wrong makes its appearance it may calculate upon a. bout with ‘U. L. See,’ and in such contests Dr. Goodwin seldom or never comes out second best. This is largely a matter of heredity, for the Goodwins have been for generations a race of aggressive men. “Dr. Goodwin’s excellent health makes it fairly certain that he will see the twentieth century come in. Think of it. His memory will then cover a stretch of sixty-five years, from 1835 to 1900. What a field to survey! From weakness to strength; from an unknown border State, as Indiana then was, to its present great wealth and high literary and commercial standing; r0 l l TL 3 t^ v to freedom; from the 1835 J”!,!!® religious freedom of 1900. What a change. And it all lies within his living memory. “Dr Goodwin has been one of the leaders for lay representation within his church and an earnest advocate for reforming other lapses into which the great Methodist hierarchy has almost unconsciously driftedAt eighty it Is too late for a man to repeat his Ben Ezra. “ ‘Grow old along with me; The best Is yet to be. “He rather intones his Prospice, “ ‘Fear death! ] am near the place Where the barriers fall I was ever a fighter —so one fight more. The best is the last.’ “If Dr. Goodwin were called from us tomorrow he could truthfully say I have added somewhat to the sum of human happiness and taken somewhat from the sum Os human misery, and so I have not lived in vain.’ ” STORIES FROM THE OCCIDENT. The China, Japan anil Korea Missionaries Report. The delegates to the meeting of the general executive committee of the Womans Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church, being held at Roberts Park Church, sat through yesterday morning listening to further reports on the work of their agents in China, Japan and Korea. All the reports were pleas for more money and more missionaries to carry out the plans of tho society. The work has been so successful that it has outgrown pros islons made for attending it. The schools are packed with students and the doimitories of the boarding schools are not laige enough to hold all those who apply for admThe° spirit of heroism in the missionaries is apparent to everyone who deal's talk. Many of them have passed through sieges of the terrible diseases prevalent in China, and they are anxious to return to their work there. Mrs. A. N. I 'ianr yes terday told of schools of lepers taught by leper teachers, and said that none missionaries shrank from entering these schools and working with the unclean. Yesterday afternoon, after the hour. IMrs. W. B. Davis talked to the delegates on the work of young women in t h missionary society. I.astn ig h t rm ss ‘° n who have been in Japan described the worK tt To-day d thi*reportiJ’of omc... correspondonts in South America, Mexico, Switzerland. Italy and Bulgaria, describing the progress of missionary work in most, countries, will be read. For \A\ F. M. 8. A'i*ltor*. The members of the general executive committee of the W. F. M. S. were given a reception yesterday afternoon at the Propylaeum by Mrs. L. H. Dunning. The building was again the center for a noted assemblage of women, the guests being so cosmopolitan that all parts of the world were represented. Mrs. Dunning was assisted in receiving by Mrs. C. D. Foss, wife of Bishop Foss, of Philadelphia, and by Mrs. Joyce, wife of Bishop Joyce, of Minneapolis. Mrs. C. C. La6by, Mrs. C. E. Bacon, Mrs. Frank Dunning and Mrs W. D. Cooper. The two parlors were used and they were simply decorated with masses of palms and maidenhair ferns and vases of flowers. Assisting in entertaining were the chairmen of the several local committees, which included Mrs. Frances A. Sullivan. Mrs. Hopkins, Mrs. Frederick Baggs. Mrs. N. H. Kipp. Mrs. Adaline S. South and Mrs. Julia Franklin. Among the guests were Mrs. Skidmore, who has been actively engaged In missionary work for many years, and who is now in her eightieth year, and Mrs. Ninde, who made a journey around the world after she was seventy years old. Mrs. Ninde is nearly eighty, as active in her labors as ever and is frequently called upon to fill pulpits, as she did last Sunday at

Meridian-street Church. There was a general acceptance of the five hundred invitations issued. R. B. F. PEIRCE’S ILLNESS. IncunxciouN for Awhile, but >ow Much Improved. There was much concern among a large circle of friends in this city yesterday when alarming reports as to the condition of R. B. F. Peirce, receiver of the Clover T.eaf route, came from Cincinnati. Mr. Peirce was taken suddenly ill while on a train near that city, and it was feared his condition was quite serious. Laat night the Journal received a telephone message from John W. Chipman, an intimate friend of Mr. Peirce, who went at once to Cincinnati upon receiving word of his illness. “We understand.” said Mr. Chipman, “that very alarming reports have reached Indianapolis as to Mr. Peirce’s condition, but I am happy to say that at this hour they are unwarranted, for the physician tells me there is nothing to cause undue apprehension. Mr. Peirce was overcome on a train, and was brought here as soon as possible ar.d taken direct to the Cincinnati City Hospital. The physician in charge said the illness was due to the stoppage o" some function of the kidneys, that the condition was not an unusual one, and under proper care the patient should recover in a lew days, without any serious after effects. Mr. Peirce never had a suspicion that these organs were affected in any way, and it is hardly nrobable there will be any permanent trouble. He fainted away first and for awhile was unconscious, but to-night he is conscious and recognized his friends who called. He is quite weak to-night from exhaustion brought about bv a process to induce perspiration. We expect to bring him to Indianapolis to-morrow or the next day.” Mr. Peirce is one of the best known men in Indiana. He is general manager of the 1.. D. & W. as well as receiver of the Clover Leaf. He has recently been at Toledo and from there went to Cincinnati to meet President Woodford of the 0., H. & D. Yesterday morning he started to return home, but became ill on the train. His son, Edward Peirce, and John 3. Lazarus also went to Cincinnati upon hearing reports of of Mr. Peirce’s illness. Found Ills Recalcitrant Wife. Albert Moore, colored, a railroad porter, whose home is at Chattanooga, Tenn., came to this city yesterday morning and reported to the police that his wife, Florence Moore, and Henry Smith, another colored man, had eloped from Chattanooga and had come to this city. His wife, he said, had taken with her SSOO which belonged to him. Detectives Thornton and Kinney were detailed to look after the case. They found the couple last night and took them to tne police station. Moore was there when they entered. “That man’s got my overcoat on,” he said, pointing to Smith. Neither of the three was excited at the meeting. Smith and Mrs. Moore were locked up. They will all appear in Police Court this morning. Smith had no money and Mrs. Moore had only $7.
