ELKHART'S NEW RAILROAD BUILDING THROWN OPEN New Structure of the Elkhart Railroad Men Informally Opened To Be Dedicated Later. DESCRIPTION AND COST Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ELKHART, lud.. Feb. 22. The fine new building of the Elkhart Railroad Young Men's Christian Association was Informally thrown open to the public for inspection and the members for use to-day. Elaborate dedicatory exercises had beeu planned for the opening, but owing to the fact that the prevailing congestion of traffic, due to, the continued cold weather, requires all the time of expected officials and many of the prominent subordinates, it was decided to postpone the formal dedication until the congestion is relieved. Geueral Superintendent H. 8. Storrs, of the Lake Shore, is to deliver an address entitled "Am I My Brother's Keeper?" on that occasion, and General Superintendent G. K. Low. 11. of the Monou, will speak on "The Evolution of the Railroad Man." Other prominent railroad men will make miuor addresses. The building, whose cost approximates $25.000. is of brick and Bedford stone. It affords a reading room, game and smoking room, dining and lunch room, parlor, public and private office, gymnasium, baths, bowling alley, lectuie room. classroom, for draughtsmen and machinists' apprentices, lavatories and thirty-two sleeping rooms, the last named tor the use of railroad men whose homes are at the other end of their runs. Of the cost, the Lake Shore Company is pledged to pay $10,000 and may contribute more, in view of the fac t that the building has cost $5.000 more than anticipated and several thousand dollars already paid on subscription is tied up in the Indiana National Bank failure. W. K. Vanderbilt has personally pledged $2.500 to apply on the furnishings. The Elkhart Christian Association was organized in 1884, and occupied its first building in that year. This was outgrown and the present site was bought in 1902 at a cost of $2,000, raised by railway employes and others. The membership formerly was not restricted but in the future only railway employes will be eligible, and the roll is expected to include 400 to 500 within a short time. Samuel Clarke, formerly of Montreal, Canada, is general secretary and has proved most efficient. DIVORCE COURT ENDS DOMESTIC TROUBLES Robert H.

LABOR LEADERS IN A BIG WAGE SCALE IA1 Burns's and Phillips's Unions Trying to Underbid Each Other in Window Glass Industry. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. HARTFORD CITY. Ind., Feb. 22. It Is intimated here that the relations between the new and the old L. A. 300's which it was thought would result in an amalgamation, are again strained. Burns and Phillips, the respective heads of the two labor unions controlling the window glass workers, had agreed to stand united on the present, or Philadelphia wage scale. I'nknown to Burns, Phillips announced a cut in wages of 18 per cent., and it is now announced that Burns will meet it with a cut of between 30 and 40 per pent, and furnish waij. s;tl.s to aid the present Idle factories. This will cause the manufacturers to stipulate that their men join the Burns organization and will take most of the Phillips men. It is now a matter of no consequence to the workers which union they belong to, so long as they t employment. Pensions for Indlanlnns.

NO GRAND JURY ACTION Special to the Indianapolis Journal. BEDFORD, Ind.. Feb. 22.-Detectives working on the Schäfer murder case were given additional information to-day that may cast some light on the mystery. Mrs. Nettie Hagenwald. giving her address as 1316 Second avenue, Terre Haute, called at Mayor Smith's office this morning and said that possibly she could assist the officers in tracing the mysterious tall stranger who stopped at the Park Hotel the night of the murder and who suddenly disappeared the following morning. She was unable to recall his name, but thought he was a piano tuner. He called at Mrs. Hagenwald's home In Terre Haute a few days following the murder, and in conversation said he was acquainted with the Schäfer girl. Mrs. Hagenwald was closeted with Detective Reed and Mayor Smith for an hour, but if she imparted additional information the officers would not divulge it. The detectives are giving no little attention to the movements of the tall individual with a sandy mustache, seen by many Bedford citizens the night of the murder, and who has been lost sight of. The wisp of reddish brown hair found clutched in the dead girl's hand is all that stands between McDonald and a grand Jury indictment. The prisoner's mustache is of a different color, and the Pinkertons confess that the hair found In Miss Schäfer s hand Is from the mustache of a sandy complexioned man. An effort will be made to apprehend the mysterious stranger brought so prominently before the public during the first few days following the crime. Detective Reed received a letter from McDonald to-day giving a new version of his movements that night. He claims now to have been accompanied by his wife while down town. This is at variance with other statements made by him. Prosecutor Miller returned to Bloomington to-night, intimating, before his departure, that the grand jury would not consider the Schäfer case. The court of Inquiry will resume its sessions to-morrow, but why this is made necessary the officers will not say.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. IKTMOUR, Ind.. Feb. 22. Cyrus E. McCrady, cashier of the First National Bank. Is short in his accounts with the bank about $12.000. He is also treasurer of the Cooperative Building and Loan Association, and in these accounts he is short $14.500, making his total shortage about $26.500. Such was the startling announcement which Seymour people received to-day with surprise and regret. The discovery of the shortage was made last week by the bank offieers, ami on the day following by the building association officers. When confronted with the facts. Mr. McCrady acknowledged the discrepancies, and assisted the officers in locating the various amounts. The building association at once took charge of $1.500 paid-up stock which he owned, and $1,500 cash which he had on deposit as treasurer, making Its net shortage $11.500, practically the same as that of the bank. McCrady at once turned over all his property, including real estate and personal assets, which amount, according to various estimates, to from $22.000 to $28,000, so that his shortage with both institutions will be practically covered and the bondsmen of each will be called on for very little, if anything, to make good the deficiency. Both the bar k and the building association are strong financial institutions, and neither will be affected, as neither will lose anything. When seen at his home this afternoon, Mr. McCrady said he had turned over all he had and that unless the values were depressed by forced sales all his shortage would be more than covered so that none would lose anything. Besides the bank a.nd building association, he was Interested in several other business concerns in Seymour, but he says the affairs of these companies are all in good shape, and that none of them will suffer, as his shortage does not concern them. He was treasurer of the Masonic lodge building committee and of the Methodist Church, but the funds of these organizations are supposed to be intact. Awarded fl.SOO Damages. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ELWOOD. Ind., Feb. 22. The amount of damages awarded Elbert A. Jeffries, of this city, against the Lyon & Healy Company, of Chicago, In the Madison Superior Court, was $1,500. This was the second trial. Jeffries having secured an $800 judgment the previous time. He was employed by the company in putting up the pipe organ in the Methodist Church here two years ago, when he fell fifteen feet on account of a defective scaffold, alighting on his feet and breaking both ankles, making him a cripple for life.

FIRST ARREST UNDER NEW GOOD ROADS LAW Trustee of a Clark Countv Township Under Bond for Trial for Permitting Bad Roads. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. JEFFERSON Vi LLE, Ind.. Feb. 22. The first arrest in this part of the State under the law passed by the last Legislature requiring the boards of County Commissioners, township trustees and road supervisors to keep in passable condition all roads in their respective districts along which rural mail routes have been established was made yesterday when Dr. J. M. Reynolds, trustee of Union township, was arrested on complaint of George Scholl, a rural mail carrier. Dr. Reynolds was immediately released under bond and the case will be given a speedy hearing. The law specifies that if any of the officers named above fall to have such re pairs made on the road complained of for a period of five days after receiving notice of the defective condition of the highway he shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof shall bo fined in any sum not less than $1 nor more than ?25 for each day such highway Is allowed to remain In an impassable condition. STUDENTS IN RIOTS AT THE STATE UNIVERSITY AND WABASH COLLEGE (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) sophomore celebration. Affidavits were Ali ,1 against them for riot, and they were released on their own recognizances. The freshmen this morning paraded the streets with a number of sophomores in chains, paying no attention to the protest of President Kane. Efforts of the city and college authorities, as represented by Prosecutor Murphy and members of the faculty, to secure the declaration of a truce by the classes failed utterly. The faculty is indignant over the violation of its edict and the agreement which It secured to the end that President Zimmerman, of the sophomore class, was released, about ten days ago, and declares that every student who has taken a leading part in the disorders shall lose his term credits. President Kane is particularly indignant over to-day's turn of affairs. Another new development in the situation was the spread of the spirit of the day to the students of the local business college. Members of the stenography class captured Belmont Everett and Arthur Manson, of the commercial class, and confined them in the assembly room. They evaded their guards and ran from the building. Manson reached home in safety, but Belmont was caught and rolled in the snow till the police rescued him and escorted him home. The freshmen had only fourteen captives when they started on their parade this morning, instead of fifteen, Fred L. Heintz, a sophomore, having escaped during the night by jumping from a second-story window. The captives were chained together and were escorted by a howling mob of freshmen from the place of captivity to the college campus, and across that, thence north on Wabash street to the Phi Gamma chapter house. Here the freshmen tried to secure more captives, hut failed. During J the halt at this point President Kane entere! a protest against any further prog- j ress of the parade or other disorder, but j his words were unheeded. Later he telephoned to the police to take such steps as were necessary to quell the disorder. From the chapter house the parade eojitinued to Pike street, thence east to Washington street and north to the courthouse corner. Here its progress was stopped by the entire police force, which took possession of the captive sophomores. Effort! wen- made to secure the keys to the locks with which the prisoners were fastened, bxit these failed and they were taken to a repair shop wht-re. with infinite labor, the chains were filed off. Miller, president of the freshman class, and Frurip protested against the action of the police, and OflkCaff 3t ele arrested them. He took them to Jail, and as he left the building on his return he was met by several freshmen, who protested against the detention of their leader. 8teele then arretted Beatty. Shaw and King. The freshmen went to the office of Mayor Russell to try to secure th- release of their classmates. Marshal Patton and PltMW utor Murphy were willing to accede to their wish If the classes would agree to a permanent truce, and later President Zimmerman, of the sophomores, and Miller of the freshmen, agreed to suc h a truce, but other members of the class refused to recognize it. and Prosecutor Murphy filed affidavits charging riot against the five freshmen. They were held until after court adjourned in the Gregg trial, when the prosecutor agreed to their release on their own recognizance, to appear for hearing next Monday morning at 10 o'clock. Since the release of the freshmen leaders the ebullitions of the class spirit seem to have subsided, the arrests seeming to have hud a sobering effect.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. CRAWFORDSVILLE. Ind., Feb. 22-The interest in the damage suit for $10.000 brought by Mrs. June Gregg against Mrs. Sarah M. Gregg, for alienating the affec

tions of the former's husband. George M. Gregg, who is the lattor's son. shows no sign of "bating. Mrs. June Gregg was on the stand all of to-day, and the principal part of her evidence related to letters written to her while she was at Paris, Ky.. to which place she had been sent by the defendant, while the defendant and George Gregg were at a health resort at Mt. Clement. Mich. These letters were full of endearing terms, expressing Gregg's love for the witness, his wife, and begging her to return home; that if his mother would not permit her in his father's home he would get a hou.e and they would make a home for themselves. In her direct testimony it was brought out that there was a young woman in town who afterward was a guest at the Gregg house, whom the defendant wanted her son. to marry, and that after the marriage of witness and George Gregg, this young woman kept going to the house as the guest of the defendant, and at one time George Gregg was seen by his wife to embrace this young woman in a room adjoining a dancing hall. Gregg's letters to his wife were full of endearing terms and of allusions to a prospective time when they should have a home of their own. They were five in number and were admitted in evidence on Saturday. To-day's examination of the plaintiff related almost wholly to these letters. In one of them the writer said "his love for her ought to keep her well, as her love kept him well." that "he loved her better now than when he married her," and he wanted her to come home "because he loved her." Once he sent some stamps and asked her if they did not keep stamps in Paris. Ky. In one he told her he had heard that some one had said he and his wife had separated, which he said "more nearly skinned him than any report he had ever heard." In yet another he told her there were many influences at work to make him untrue to her, and that his mother was to blame that this was so. After his return from Mt. Clement he sent his wife money to defray her expenses home from Kentucky, and told her he had been obliged to get it from his grandmother, because his mother would not give it to him to use for that purpose. In this letter he urged her to hurry home, and said that if his mother did not do better they would go elsewhere to live. The reading of these letters consumed much time, following which Mrs. June Gregg gave much testimony concerning petty annoyances suffered at the hands or the defendant during her married life with George Gregg. She was on the stand, under cross-examination, when court adjourned for the day. TELEPHONE OPERATOR HAD PRESENCE OF MIND Miss Ryan's Prompt Action in Turning in Fire Alarm Prevents Big Fire Loss, $3,000. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LAFAYETTE, Ind., Feb. 22. But for the speedy alarm given by Miss Maggie Ryan, night operator at the Bell telephone exchange, Lafayette would probably have experienced the most costly fire in its history. Miss Ryan noticed a flash like an explosion in the Bartlett building opposite the telephone exchange. Instantly she turned in an alarm. The firemen were on the scene in a few minutes and found that they had a stubborn blaze to fight. The flames swept up to the third floor and the interior of the first floor was ruined by water and smoke. The loss is estimated at $3.000, covered by Insurance. An explosion of chemicals is believed to have caused the fire. Chief Harrison personally complimented Miss Ryan for her part In the work.
