GRADE CROSSING EVIL A DISCISSION PREL13XIXARY TO PnOFXSSOK ZEUBL1VS LECTURE. William Fortune Takes a Ilnnd In the Debate Public "Works' the General Topic. Prof. Charles Zcublln, of Chicago University, delivered the second of his series of lectures on municipal topics at the Manual Training High School last night. His subject was, "Public Works." Preliminary to this address there was an Informal discussion of grade crossings and elevated tracks, In which William Fortune took a prominent part. It was generally conceded that the elevation of tracks is the best method of solving the problem of grade crossings, and that the elevation of train sheds would be advantageous In the matter of accessibility and general convenience and public safety. Prof. Zeublln In his lecture, discussed the most prominent features of the public works of cities, the fire departments, street Improvements, street cleaning, disposition of garbage and water supply. Our fire departments, he said, are the best in the world, being far superior In all respects to those of European cities, although In most things connected with the management of cities it Is to our advantage to get lessons from Europe. The high efficiency of our tire departments is made necessary by the Inferior buildings which we erect, and the Inefficient system of building Inspection that prevails In most of our cities. Concerning street improvements, he said that two things are absolutely necessary, namely, a perfectly sound foundation for pavements, and the constant repairing of the surface. Especially is this true of asphalt, 8ie said. .Continuing. Prof. Zeublln said: "In this feature of municipal affairs, especially, we liave to learn from Europe. On the subject of street cleaning. New York city, under Colonel Warlng's regime offers the best example of what may be accomplished In this line. The military system there used, and the systematic method of work employed, would be of advantage to any city. Scientific methods should be used to dispose of parbape, and all things should be done with uniformity. A progressive policy phould be adopted, and experiments should made along the line of modern scientific methods. The more a city does In this respect, the greater is the development of citizenship fend the cities of the world that fire doing the most in ueveloping public affair, are doing the best for the people." Stereoptieon pictures were used, illustrating the subjects the speaker mentioned. PRESBYTERIAN MINISTERS. They Hold a Conference In Interest of n ItellKlous Awakening. At I o'clock yesterday afternoon a conference of Presbyterian ministers of the city was held at the Second Presbyterian Church. It was called by Rev. R. V.

WELCOME TO MIXERS

IT IS HXTEXDED nV LABOR LEADEIlS A.U CO)IMi:itCIAL CLL' II. President Mitchell of the Mine Workera Union Makes Response In wl Few Remark. THE FIRST SESSIONS HELD CHEDKXTIALS COMMITTER WAS XOT HEADY TO REPORT. Machine Mining; to Re Closely ConsideredSmoker for Visitors at Morrison Hull. The twelfth annual convention of the United Mine Workers , of America was called to order in Tomllnson Hall by President Mitchell at 10 o'clock yesterday morning. As the gavel fell the hum of voices of 1,000 miners ceased and the closest attention was given to the chair. President Mitchell introduced Evans Woollen, secretary of the Commercial Club, who welcomed the delegates to the city. In his greeting to the miners he said: "Your stay In Indianapolis, last year, was so much appreciated that the Commercial Club had no hesitation In promising that, if you should return, your treasury would be relieved of the payment for a hall. In fulfillment of the promise, wo have pleasure in tendering you the use of this hall. "We are proud of John Mitchell as a c!tlzen of Indianapolis, and don't want you to send him or your headquarters away from us." Mr. Woollen was followed by John Blue, ex-president of Central Labor Union, who welcomed the delegates on behalf of the organized labor cf Indianapolis. In part he said: "Ten years ago this organization, whose great convention we greet this morning, vas organized under the most embarrassing circumstances. Every obstacle possible blocked its progress. The iron and unrelenting heel of capital sought to cripple and disrupt it. Every device that the cunning hand of wealth could devise was used to retard Its progress, but to no avail. Rorn of desperation and urged to greater activity by the stern hand of necessity, the United Mine Workers of American knew no such word as 'fall.' The history of the past ten years is replete with victories gained largely as the result of a conservative policy and a strict adherence to the principles of right and Justice. The history of the United Mine Workers of America is that their victories have been won because the Individual members, in trying hours, even at a moment when starvation stared them In the face, acted the part of good, law-abiding citizens " ANOTHER WELCOME. Following Mr. Blue's address, Edward F. Gould, editor of the Union, welcomed the miners of the State for the State Federation of Labor on behalf of President Edgar A. Perkins, who could not be present. In his address he took occasion to make an appeal to the miners In behalf of the Women's Label League, and mentioned the names of women who have identified themselves with charitable and industrial work. He said organization is a preparation for the future and that a review of the miners affairs is living evidence that we do not live in the present, but are laying a foundation for the future. President Mitchell responded for the miners, thanking each for the courtesies extended. He said the miners should conduct themselves in a manner to win the highest respect and esteem of everyone, and by so doing, they will be greatly assisted by public sentiment and public opinion. He said the miners appreciated the reception that has been accorded them and entertain a kindly feeling for Indianapolis. The official call for the convention was read by W. B. Wilson, secretary-treasurer of the United Mine Workers, after President Mitchell concluded his address, and the report of the committee on credentials was called for. The committee was not ready to report and the following committee on rules and order of business was appointed: G. W. Savage, of Columbus, O., William Dodds, of Pittsburg. Pa., and Harry Wright, of Carbon, Ind. An adjournment was then taken till the afternoon. The report of tho credentials committee was again called for at the opening of the afternoon session. Vice President T. L. Lewis spoke for the committee and said it would not be able to report before 3 o'clock. The committee on rules and order of business then made its report. The time of the sessions is from 9 o'clock In the morning till 12, and from 1:C0 in the afternoon till 5. Speeches were limited to five minutes. After the report of the committee on rules and order of business a committee was appointed to distribute the souvenir badges to the delegates. SHORT-TALKS MADE. While the convention was awaiting the report of the committee on credentials, Henry Fisher, president of the Tobacco Workers Association, spoke to the miners. He said the union is engaged in a fight against the American Tobacco Company and the Continental Tobacco Company, the trusts, not because they are trusts, but because they discharged all union employes when they absorbed local factories over the country and replaced them with nonunion men, women and girls. In Louisville, Ky., he said, one of the companies pays girls but 3 cents an hour and in the South negroes receive from 33 to 50 cents a day. lie said when tho tobacco workers tried to have a conference with employers in Detroit, they did not meet them as do the coal operators and adjust the differences, but instead turned the hose on them. In one of tho factories in the East he said It was the custom to dock the men 11 cents a week to pay for washing the windows, scrubbing and keeping the factory clean and seaFch them when they left the factory at night, but the union had succeeded in abolishing this plan. Mr. White, another representative of the tobacco workers, also spoke, He said the tobacco workers claimed the same right to organize as the trust, but they were discharged for it. He urged the miners to support the union by demanding the label on the tobacco, and unless this support Is given, he said the union will fall. He said the men do not know the purchasing power of their money and that 90 per cent, of tobac o used is manufactured by nonunion factories. As the credentials committee gave no Indication of submitting its report, the convention adjourned till 9 o'clock this morning. At U o'clock this morning the miners will have a convention picture taken at the monument. It is officially stated that the principal question to come before the convention is the difference in price paid for pick and machine mined coal. It is stated that this differential is not in Just proportion. Machine mining. In the last few years, has made rapid strides toward deposing the pick miner, and now It Is estimated that 23 per cent, of the coal mined is dug out by machines. It is said the discontent of miners increases with the further introduction of machines and there must be a more equitable adjustment. 1 INTERSTATE Af.R E E M E N T. Delegates from lown fintl Michigan Hold Conference. The delegates from Iowa and Michigan held two conferences late yesterday, at which the matter of admitting the operators of their respective State into the Interstate agreement was discussed. Thee delegates are making a strong effort to have the convention ay the operators of R wa and Michigan must Ik taken into the Agrement. The operators of Illinois, Indi

ana, Ohio and Pennsylvania, which compete the interstate agrement, refuse to let them into their Joint conference. Last ear the Iowa operators came to the convention, but were refused admittance. While the operators of Iowa want to become members, the Michigan operators do not wish to Join, but it Is said if the convention declares that they must be admlttea there can no longer be positive resistance. The two outside States are recognized as competitive States and the operators are forced to pay the wage scale adopted by the interstate conventions. They objeit to this on the ground that it is "taxation without representation." The miners say the operators in the Interstate agreement have no reason to keep the others out, and some say it is only a move to divide the organization of the miners among themselves, thus decreasing their strength. No matter what is done, it is announced, the miners will stay together. The two outside delegations will make a demand upon the convention for recognition and use every effort to have the matter disposed of at onc3. In Michigan there Is not an employe about a mine under the jurisdiction of the union that is not a member.

The Miners Entertained. The Ancient Order of Hibernians gave a smoker in Morrison Hall last night to the members of the order who are here attending the mine workers convention. There were about two hundred present. The meeting was presided over by William Curry, county president of the order. Addresses were mads by Maurice Donnelly, W. D. Ryan of Illinois. Rarney Rice and T. D. Hayes of Pennsylvania. The remainder of the evening's programme was made up of songs and recitations by members of tho order. The committee having the affair in charge was composed of M. E. Laughlin, John H. Scanlon, Jeremiah Costello, I. J. O. Mahoney. J. J. Sharkey. James Mcliride, James H. Deery, Thomas Kavanaugh and P. II. McNeils. Tito Miners Shot by Officers. E ARLINGTON, Ky., Jan. 21. Union miners, 150 strong, .to-day started on a march from Eoxtown to Carbondale mines, in Hopkins county, to stop the non-union men at work there. On the way a sheriff's posse of five men attempted to stop them and were answered by a shot. A fusillade followed, the miners retreating. One of their number, Bill Cook, was killed and another, John Taylor, died of his wounds In a few hours. Boxtown Is reported deserted, but officers are searching for members of the marching party. THE SYMPHONY CONCERT. Audience Relighted with Iloth Orchestra nnd Soloist. In the brilliant triumph of the Symphony Orchestra concert at English's Opera House last night, one who has the higher development of the city at heart might well see the great things in store for Indianapolis In a musical way. Under the admirable leadership of Karl Schneider, the Symphony Orchestra has grown to be a body of musicians of which any city might be proud. Whetner it shall continue to progress until it takes rank with the foremost orchestras of the country depends solely upon the encouragement it shall receive in the way of patronage. Last night's audience was both large and brilliant.' A prominent and most encouraging feature of the performance was the enthusiastic applause which came from the upper part of the house, showing that Mr. Schneider had succeeded In arranging a popular as well as a classical programme. The saying about a prophet having to go beyond the limits of his own city to nnd honor was not sustained in this particular instance. A distinguished foreign artist was on the programme with the orchestra, but that fact did not detract one whit from the amount of heartiness of approval showered upon the local musicians and their accomplished director. The orchestra rendered three great numbers: Felix Mendelssohn Eartholdy's Scotch symphony. No. 3, Opus 56; Salamon Jadassohn's serenade for strings and flute. Opus 80; and Anton Dvorak's "Husltka," dramatic overture. Opus 67. Each of these was of gratifying length, but was played with such consummate skill and such delightful spirit that the audience would gladly have received an encore. If one were to try to select a certain number from the three as the most enjoyable, he would be at a loss as to which to choose. The Scotch symphony, with Its surprising variety of movements and its charming finales to the various pe.rts, was delightful, but scarcely more so than the serenade with Its entrancing zephyrs from the strings, and the sweet, tremulous thrills of the flute. Lovers of the stirring and dramatic music might well say they preferred Dvorak's splendid overture. Certainly it was a fine climax to a great programme. One event of the evening has been mentioned. The other was the first apearance before an Indianapolis audience of Harold Bauer, the young English pianist, who has recently been creating quite a stir In Eastern musical circles. Mr. Bauer was pleased and surprised at the warmth of the welcome he received when he appeared at the piano to begin St. Saens's concerto. Although this piece was written for both orchestra and piano, the latter instrument has the best of the score. Mr. Bauer's somewhat spectacular, style of dymatlc playing "was too much In evidence in the first part, the andante sostenuto, to allow full appreciation of his ability. In the more delicate and dainty alegro scherzando, however, the fact became apparent that he Is undoubtedly a master of the piano, and at Its close he was fairly showered with applause. The presto gave full scope for an exhibition of his deftness of fingering, and was greeted in a similar manner. Mr. Bauer should have been spared the ordeal of an encore after so much effort, but Indianapolis aud'ences are pitiless In their admiration for favorites, nnd the pianist was forced to respond, which he did with a beautiful sonata by Scarlotti. The unwisdom of his generosity was proven later, when, after his second appearance In a charming triad, he wps compelled to again give an encore number. The three selections played by Mr. Bauer were: Mendelssohn's etude In B flat minor; a gavotte by Gluck-Brahms. and Schubert's "Marche Hongrolse." The encore following these was Gluck's "Air de Ballet." which was perhaps the most pleasing number played by the clever performer. ECONOMY SHOWN. County Council Appropriated ? 47,175.00 More Than Wan Used. Fred Shepard, deputy county auditor, has had made up for the benefit of the office, a table of allowances granted by the Cointy Council last year, showing the amount used and what was saved. It eiows that out of the county fund $31,409.83 has been saved; out of the gravel-road fund $6,246.12; out of the sinking fund $S03.0; out of the sheriff's fund J3.716.C2, making a total of $47.173.W. This is the total saving to the county through the economy of the county officers and commissioners. The amount now on hand was appropriated by the County Council and could have been used had the officials been, so disposed. The money will now rever back to the general fund and will have to be reappropriated before it can be used. No Lnbor Dlnlculties. Labor Commissioner McCormack said yesterday that never but once before in the history of his office had Indiana been to free from labor difficulties. There is not at the present time to his official knowledge any kind of trouble existing between employe and employer in the State. Mr. McCormack says these conditions are due largely to organized labor; that every year as the organizations become more perfect htrlkes are less frequent. The wage scale as It Is fixed by the conventions eliminates all danger of strikes and other differences. Prosecuting Factory Owner. Deputy Factory Inspector 11. A. Richards, who Is now in the northern part of the State, reported to Chief Inspector McAbee yesterday that he is making quite a number of prosecutions against factory owners, who are working children under age. In every Instance the firms have pleaded guilty and have been fined turns varying from $12 to t. IHmSMMMSSMISMSSMSHasaMSSSSJSMk . A new $2w llano for $105 at Wulschner'i.

WATHKS FEELS FINE

HE SAYS TUE A3IERICAX ASSOCIATION IS A FXXTL'HU. ; Grounds Have Rccn Secured in All the Cities nnd Each Club Will Have Kick RuckliiK. PETITION TO THE BIG LEAGUE. IT IS SIGNED RY THE BACKERS OF TIIC EIGHT CLLI1S. The Local Magnate Looks for the Collapse of the American Leairne nt Any Time. W. H. Watklns, of the Indianapolis Baseball Club and president-secretary-treasurer pro tern, of the new American Association of Baseball Clubs, arrived in Indianapolis yesterday from a two weeks trip to Eastern cities, during which time he perfected the organization of the new baseball association, which Is now thought to be a very important factor In the baseball world. Mr. Watklns was accompanied by A. H. Koch, of Milwaukee, who has been granted the Detroit franchise in the new association. Harry Pulllam, who will be interested In the Louisville club, and Barney Dreyfus, president of the Pittsburg National League club, also met in the city yesterday. President Watklns seems to have just cause for being pleased with the result of his efforts to formulate a first-class baseball organization. A few weeks ago Watkins and his partner, Charles F. Ruschaupt, fcund themselves holding the bag for the American League, and Watklns, realizing tho chaotic state into which American League baseball had drifted through the methods of Ban Johnson, president of that league, started a quiet canvass of the situation and soon realized that it was possible to organize a new league that would be second only to the National League and would be known as one of the major organizations In the baseball world. RESULT OF TRIP. He went East, and has returned pleased with his efforts and the prospects of success for the American Association, which was christened and launched in New York last week. Mr. Watklns was seen in his office last night. When asked as to the prospects of the new association he was extremely sanguine In his remarks. "I have every reason to be confident of success." said the Indianapolis magnate. "We have organized a league that Is bound to be successful. In the first place, wu have men interested in each club who have capital to invest in such an enterprise and who are ready to place clubs In their respective cities which will be the best that money can secure. In all of the cities excepting one local capital will finance the clubs. Mr. Koch, who will handle the Detroit club, Is the only one interested In the new association who will not be classed as local backer. He was picked as the head of the Philadelphia club, but Mr. Rogers made this impossible, for he insisted on the Philadelphia club being run by Mr. Nlles and his friends. This was the only thing that happened to cause the least flurry In the plans. Mr. Koch was satisfied to go to Detroit, however, and everything has been fettled amicably. "Grounds have been secured in all the Eastern cities and in three of the Western cities. Mr. Koch has yet to secure his Detroit park, but he does not anticipate any trouble In selecting a first-class site. Tho clubs will all be managed by experienced baseball men. Mr. Irwin will handle the Boston team, Clarke the Baltimore team, National League talent at Philadelphia, Washington, Milwaukee and Detroit, McCloskey In Louisville, and I will manage the Indianapolis team. We do not anticipate trouble in securing first-class talent for the clubs in the new association. JOHNSON'S . CHANCES. Mr. Watklns was asked about the chances of Johnson's American League going Into Eastern cities. He said that Johnson had not secured a lease for grounds In any of the cities he has selected for the Eastern representatives of his American League circuit. In Washington, Manning has been unable to secure suitable grounds. In Baltimore, McGraw may have to take a site to reach which the cars would have to pass the park where the American Association games will be played. In Boston and Philadelphia, Johnson's representatives have been unable to secure grounds so far. Mr. Watklns cays that Johnson now has the hardest proposition he has ever experienced and he believes that should one man now in the American League drop out It would collapse. Mr. Watklns Is the temporary president of the new association, but within a few days a new president will be elected, the matter now being In the hands of Mr. Watklns and Mr. Irwin, of Boston. Mr. Watklns would not say who they had in view to be at the head of the American Association. The playing season will be five months Instead of four and one-half months. The season will probably open about April 24 or 23 with the Western clubs playing among themselves and the Eastern clubs doing the same. A PETITION FILED. The following Is the copy of a petition which was laid before the Board of Arbitration of the National League and which was signed by the members of the American Association and the board: "We, the undersigned, being desirous of promoting and organizing a professional baseball league, to be composed of eight clubs, representing eight cities, hereby make the following declaration of principles as the basis upon which the league shall be organized and conducted: "We recognize not only the importance, but the necessity for a supreme and controlling power in professional baseball, one upon whom shall devolve the responsibility and the authority for making necessary laws, rules ana regulations for the government and control of the game, determining and defining the points of play, the duties of players, umpires, clubs and leagues, tothe end that security and uniformity may be established and maintained. "We unequivocally declare our faith In and allegiance to the national agreement of professional baseball associations, and' our purpose, if given recognition and granted territorial rights under said agreement, to conform faithfully to Its laws, rules, regulations, terms, conditions and requirements, except as herein modified, and to such amendments as may from time to time be adopted by the National Board of Arbitration or the power that creates it. "We recognize of necessity the right of reservation, which stands for the same principle in baseball that a warranty deed or a deed of trust does in the commercial world; that is to say, the right to such reasonable security to property Interests as are necessary' to Justify and protect the large amounts of capital Invested and which are imperative in every city for the equipment of parks in order that the game may be placed before the public in its best and .most approved form. "We are cognizant of the faet that every attempt that has been made to operate an independent league with rival clubs in the same cities has resulted disastrously to all parties engaged in the business of professional baseball and has been destructive of public interest. "We recognize the importance of maintaining the high standard of discipline sought to be obtained by the lawmakers of the National League and American Association of professional baseball clubs, and to Its maintenance we pledge our support and co-operation, to the end that the game may be continued free from crookedness, suspicion and other objectionable features. WHAT IS WANTED. "Reaffirming In part and In whole the foregoing, we petition the National Lengue and American Association of profesisoaai

biseball clubs, the National Board of Arbitration and the circuit committee of the National League, severally and Jointly, as follows, to wit: "To allow us the right to use the name American Association. "That we be given territorial rights in the cities of Indianapolis. Milwaukee. Louisville. Detroit Washington, Baltimore. Philadelphia and Boston. "That each club of this association be allowed to reserve five players each year. "That a committee from each organization be given one day each year for a Joint discussion of baseball interests. "That this association be accorded a representative upon the National Board of Arbitration and upon the playing rules committee.

"That If this declaration and petition be approved iy an tne parties In Interest, then a new agreement in harmony therewith shall be executed, which shall relate all terms, conuitions and requirements." This was signed by Arthur A. Irwin and G. D. Brannan for Boston. 11. D. Quinn and C. S. Havenor for Milwaukee. J. J. Saunders for Louisville, A. H. Koch for Detroit. W. II. Watklns and C. F. Ruschaupt for Indianapolis, W. J. Clarke for Baltimore, Charles White for Washington, Athletic Baseball Club, John T. Ilogan. president, and II. .Miles, secretary, for Philadelphia. HART RETl'R.NS TO CHICAGO. He Says the Big: League Is Not Fostering: the American. CHICAGO, Jan. 21. President James A. Hart, of the Chicago National League Raseball Club, returned from New York to-day. He went there to attend a meeting of the national board of the National League. "To tell the truth, I do not know much about the doings of Ban Johnson's league since I have been away," he said. "Of course, I have heard the league intends to forsake the national agreement entirely and go into our territory, and that the American people have secured advantageous grounds in Boston. But there is not much to be disturbed about in all of those, reports. The American can get along very nicely, I should think. So can the National, and that is about all there is to the situation. The National League is no more fostering the new American Association than it is lending its money to the furtherance of the plan of Ban Johnson and his confreres. All the national board wants to be satisfied of is tho fact tho new association is in a position to meet its obligations and carry out the spirit of the national agreement. You see the action of the American League in cutting into new terirtory practically left much open territory, especially in cities like Milwaukee, Detroit and Indlonapolis, and the promoters of the association, seeing a good chance to establish themselves in these points, organized. Other cities, Louisville, Washington and Baltimore were abandoned by the National League and were to be had for the asking by any organization that wanted to cut in there. The association people asked that the option on the Cleveland territory be left open. That Is the whole story in a few words. There are clubs enough in Chicago now, and I would not listen to any idea of the association cutting in there, so that plan was abandoned. There is no fight on that I can see." JAMES HAWLEY DEAD. He Warn One of the Early Settlers of Marlon County. James Hawley, one of the best-known farmers and early settlers of Marlon county, died yesterday at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Chrlstcnson, 1G23 Hall place, after a short illness.
