Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TERRE RAUT1 Ind.. July a. The members of the operators' and miners' state executive boards, after a Ave hours' session last night, adjourned to meet later In the week on the Linton strike. The strike was ordered by the local lodge because the operator discharged several men who objected to Sunday work. The strike was in violation of the miners' law and of the annual wage contract that all disputes must be submitted to arbitration, and that, pending arbitration, work must not be suspended. The state officers of the United Mine Workers called on John Mitchell to reinforce their demand that the men return to work. This he did in a decisive way, and then the grievances were taken up for arbitration. This failed, and the questions were pent to the state executive boards. The miners insisted on th ere-employment of the discharged men. but this afternoon their committee reported to the operators who were still in town that they would consent to the offer made by the Ldnton operator when tho case was up for arbitration. This was to re-employ the men in some capacity, but not necessarily at their former jobs. Executive Board .Meeting. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LAFAYETTE, Ind., July 8-The executive board of the Painters and Decorators of America met in this city to-day, and will be in session ior two weeks.

There Is no change in the situation of the machinists' strike at the Big Four shops here. The men explain their refusal to work ten hours on the ground that they have a contract with the company whereby nine hours is to constitute a day, and payment for extra time Is to be at the rate of time and a half, while the company demands the extra hour at single time rate. The company absolutely refuses to yield, and work in the shop if demoralized. The strikers say they will not go to work except on their own terms. - - WIXOXA LAKE PARK.

SqnaliM Over n Minor Office Makea Trouble in Jackson. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. SEYMOCR, Ind., July 8. The Democrats of this county are having trouble over the election of a superintendent of the county poor farm. Charles F. Eddlnger is th.? prsaeat superintendent, but his right to serve another year will be tested in the Circuit Court. The County Commissioners at the June term gave the people a surprise one day by electing M. V. Isaacs superintendent of the poor farm to succeed Mr. Ed. linger. This action caused a storm of opposition, for the public had anticipated Isddlnger's re election, as he had been ki -ing reasonably good satisfaction. That same evening the people began a determined protest and demanded an explanation from the commissioners. It was learned that a small clique of Democratic politician had a grievance against EtMing r dating back to last eloetion day and had demanded his retirement. Nevertheless the people continued to protest and the next day the commissioners reconsidered their action of the day before and re-elected Eld dinger. Yesterday, however, both Isaacs and Eddlnger presented their bonds for acceptance and had lawyers there to tell the commission, ri their duty under the law. The board Anally accepted Eddlnger! bond, holding that he is the legally elected superintendent of the poor farm. Isaacs gave notice of an appeal to Circuit Court. The blundering of the commissioners has engendered much bitter feeling, but it is all confined to the Democratic party. AOC1 SED 6f IM EMHAHISM.

JURY FINDS FOR DEFENSE

CLOSE OF THE BRITTOS WHITECAPHN CASE AT BLOOMI.XOTOX. m a It Han Been an Expensive TrialJudge Henley's Pertinent Hrmarki on the Huie of the Mob. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. BLOOMINGTON, Ind., July 8.-The juryfound for the defendants in the Joe Britton suit for $10.000 damages against thirteen citizens of Greene county, charged with whitecapping him about four years ago at the little town of Newark. The jury was out about iifteen hours and was held by two men. who were in favor of giving Britton a small amount. Thus ends one of most expensive trials ever connected with mob law in Indiana. Soon after Britton was whipped he declared his purpose of veng' ance against the men whom he claimed to have recognized, and he and his wife brought suit for $10.000 damages each. The tirst trial was held at Spencer, over a year ago, and resulted in a verdict against Mrs. Britton. N'ow the defendants win their llual victory after a week's trial. Over fifty witnesses testified in both trials, and it is said that, counting attorneys' fees, the two trials have cost over $2,000. In the time since th" crime occurred two of the defendants have died. In the charge to tho jury Special Judge Henley made special reference to mob law and its result upon the community. In one of his Instructions Judge Henley said: "In civilized countries there is no excuse or palliation for the mob. Monocracy poisons the eerV fountains of Justice and thereby pollutes every branch of our judicial system. The mob spirit la conceived in sin and brought forth in iniquity. The abuses which it may seek to correct are insignificant compared with the great flood of crime and lawlessness it precipitates. The baneful effect of the mob's midnight attack upon the help'.ess victim does not end with the night's carnival indeed, the real effect has then scarcely begun. There follow perjury, subornation of perjury, bribery, intimidation, corruptijn and perhaps murder itself. These blighting and reproachful results, however, are not the most dangerous. The climax of pernicious and vicious consequences growing out of such unlawful acts is ultimately reached In loss of respect for law and order, and tho due and orderly administrtion of Justice in stifling and repressing a full and free expression and development of that innate sense of justice and veneration for the law that adorns and embellishes the American character; In blighting and corrupting civil and political life and in bringing the community into such a state of excitement, unrest and anxiety as to impede its moral and intellectual growth. "A solemn duty is imposed on the jury in this case. The honor and dignity of the law are involved; the good name of a sister community and the good name of our own community are vat stake, and I emphasize the neeeasityVf the Jury discharging its duties with courage and fidelity. "I do not assume that the defendants or either of them participated in the whipping of the plaintiff. I only assume what is admitted in the trial, that a mob collected at the plaintiff's house and attacked him with violence without right or 'warrant of law. ou are the exclusive judges of the weight of the evidence and the credibility of th witnesses, and it is your province to determine whether the defendants or either of them participated in the whipping or other acts charged in the complaint. No consideration of present public sentiment and discussion of so-called 'whitecapping' in this portion of the State by the public or press or otherwise should influence or prejudice your minds against the defendants, nor should you make a victim or victims among the defendants merely for the purpose of satisfying or placating public sentiment against whitecapping. for such conduct by the jury, instead of upholding the majesty of the law. would bo a blow against the law as pernicious and dangerous as the unlawful acts of the mob itself."

BLOOMINGTON, Ind.. July 8. It is no secret that Dr. Q. F.

Dr. Karsten's work in the institution has not been satisfactory for some time, so It is stated by those whose business it is to know. For that reason he has been informed that it would be wise for him to secure a position elsewhere. Last March, at their regular term, the trustees voted to relieve Dr. Karsten, and he was so notified in a quiet way, the desire being that he might secure another posit'on without embarrassment. Dr. Karsten, however, did not lake the suggestion in the spirit it was given. He not only did not resign, but he wrote two or three very personal letters to one high in authority in which he said that if he went others would go with him. In personal conversation he Insisted on not resigning. When the June meeting of the trustees was held the resignation of Dr. Karsten was not in the hands of the trustees, and after some discussion it was decided that unless it was received by the secretary by Aug. 1 he would be asked to retire from the institution regardless of consequences to himself. He was so notified. Dr. Karsten has been here since 1S6. and came from Geneva. Switzerland. He married an Indianapolis woman who is an Indiana University graduate, and with whom he became acquainted when she was a student. He Is the publisher of a well-known educational journal.
