MINERS’ RULE ‘CLOSING SHOPS’ TO BE PRQRED .Judge Anderson Announces Move in Trial of Miner on Booze Charge. ASKS WHO MADE “LAW” Indications th f the gir&nd jury will sweeping investigations of rules of tile mine workers’ union during the present coal probe developed in the federal court yesterday during the case of Tom Ferguson, former auditor of Ylgo county. Ferguson entered a plea of guilty to a charge of having caused liqueur to be transported from Westville, 111., to Terre Haute, Ind., in violation of the Reed amendment. He was fined SIOO and costs. Fred Shephard, a miner who was charged jointly with Ferguson, when questioned by Judge A. B. Anderson, told the court that he was not permitted to work in the mines unless he belonged to the Miners’ Union, which led the court to remark: “♦This is a free country and there is a lot of talk about the old flag, and yet a man can’t pick coal unless he belongs to a union. Who made that law? It is not in the statutes of Indiana. We are going to find out about that. The grand jury is in session now.’’ “Didn’t we go to war to make the world safe for the democrats?’’ the court asked Shephard. The latter volnuteered information to the effect that he was not a democrat. “Maybe that's the reason they won t let you work,” suggested the court. Shephard was fined SSO and costs for his part in the liquor transaction. Glen Foresman, who was alleged to have hauled the booze in an automobile, was fined SIOO and sentenced to serve three months in Jail. Elmer Adams of Seeleyville was fined SIOO and costs. When Ferguson’s plea of guilty was entered the court remarked that people in Terre Haute did not seem to pay much attention to the law, not even county officials. MANY “ITCHES” CALLED TO COURT.

MARKET PURGED OF DIRTY SUGAR Will Be Cleaned and Used in Manufacturing. Only beet sugar and Cuban cane sugar is on sale in Indianapolis today, according to Stanley Wyckoff, fair price commissioner for the state. This has been brought about as the result of shipment from the city of 500,000 pounds of dirty Louisiana cane sugar. The dirty sugar, according to Mr. Wyckoff. is all from Louisana, and has been refined in a crude manner on the plantations. It will be cleaned and used for manufacturing purposes. An Investigation Is being made by Mr. Wyckoff of charges made by a Kokomo newspaper that Kokomo merchants have been guilty of profiteering in sugar. It is charged that they have been asking 25 cents and 29 cents a pound for sugar. The shoe committee of the Marlon county fair price committee is busy gathering information on which to base its proposed list of fair margins of profit. The fair price committee will meet Thursday night, at which time the question of fair margins on shoes will be taken up. London “Grandma” Leap Year Vamp LONDON, Feb. 3.—“ Shall we get married?

“Whitewash” Dims Girls' Popularity on Dance Floors LONDON, Feb. 3. —Exit the “bunny hug”—and all Its kin. Because the moralists clamor and chaperons frown? Not a bit of it. Simply because the “eateh-as-catch C3n” style of dancing can't be done any more by any ordinary male who can't afford the price of anew dress suit each night. Society magazines recount the obvious fact that the fair sex is given to dlsplay much cuticle of # late. They further chronicle a fact not so generally known, but one thit has been discovered by their partners. Many women and girls have taken to covering a considerable visible expanse of themselves with a wash which dries a glossy white. The effect Is said to be charming, especially against dark dresses. But it Is a thing to be seen, not touched. It comes off on the male sleeves and lapels, and some sort of grease in the composition defies ail kinds of cleansers. The tighter the hold, the thicker and more durable the coating of an evening coat. “If they smother themselves with this stuff,” say the men, "they'll have to put up with hand-ln-hand dances,”

NEW ELEVATION PROJECT BEGUN City Seeks Belt Changes at Crossings Near River. A preliminary move for an important track elevation project was made yesterday by the board of public works. The board ordered plans prepared for the elevation of Belt railroad tracks from a point south of Kentucky avenue west to White river, including crossings at Morris street, River nvenue, Washington street,- West Miehigau street and West Tenth street. This project would be carried out after the present elevation work in and near the Unioa station is finished in the next y a ar. It was announced that the board is contemplating plans for a cross-town street car liue on Forty-fourth street from Fairfield avenue to Illinois street. The establishment of the' line is greatly handicapped due to a shortage in street cars. The street railway company now has forty-five cars ordered that are supposed to be delivered by Feb. 15. It is said that the shortage of cars is so acute that traffic here is greatly delayed. Officials of the car company explain that it is almost impossible for them to get street cars, as there seems to be a big demand for them in all parts' of the country. A petition was filed with the board for construction of a sewer on Forty-sixth street, from Pennsylvania street to a point 350 feet west. A petition for m sewer on Forty-sixth street from Meridian street to a point 385 feet west, was also filed. The board approved a petition for the improvement of Liberty street, from Michigan street to Vermont street. Hearing on n petition to construct sidewalks on East Tenth street, from Windsor street to Woodruff Place, was continued. City Engineer Lingenfelter presented plans for the opening of Eric street, under the track elevation at Virginia avenue. The plan of opening Erie street was evolved- after Alabama street was closed. Access to the C. I. &. W. freight yards Is provided through the proposed Erie street opening. Bitter complaint against the proposed closing of Alabama street was voiced by the transfer men’s .division of the Chamber of Commerce. Early Book Supply Begun for Schools

Acting on suggestions made by Clarence E. Crippin, president of the school board, the city school administration was today making plans to supply books for school children to forestall a shortage next year.

It is now planned to order books before July 1, and arrange for distributing them on the beginning of the Sep-' tember school term this year. Books will be sold In high school rental libraries to children who are unable to procure them elsewhere, according *o E. U. Graff, superintendent. What Is Shimmy?

Wife and Brother Meet Man’s “War Baby” and Mother NEW YORK, Feb. 3.—Attended by an attorney and a crowd of curious persons, Guy S. Spiker went to Ellis Island yesterday and met for the first time Miss Emily Knowles, the pretty young English mother of his brother’s baby, whom he contracted to marry even before he saw her. Mrs. Perley Spiker, wife of the father of the “war baby,” accompanied heF brother-in-law to the island and was present when her husband’s brother voluntarily offered to make amend for the wrong done the girl. A slight hitch over the matter of the bond under which the English girl will come into the country delayed matters somewhat. Both Mrs. Spiker and Guy went direct to immigration authorities and explained that they had come to provide for the girl's bond. “My philosophy Is that of the golden rule,” Mrs. Spiker told the immi- j gration commissioner. "By that I do not mean that I am particularly religious, although I am a Protestant. Miss Knowles suffered an injustice, so I wrote to her and sent her passage money for herself and baby to come.” “I will marry Miss Knowles at once if that is possible,” said Guy Spiker. “I ask that Miss Knowles and her baby be placed temporarily In charge of my sister-in-law.” DENIES DETZER VERDICT IS OUT NEW YORK, Feb. 3.—Maj. F. W. Kelly, trial judge advocate in the court-martial proceedings against Capt. Karl W. Detzer of Ft. Wayne, Ind., charged with brutality to military prisoners, yesterday denied a widely circulated report that the verdict in the case had been announced. “There has been no statement from the eastern department concerning the decision,” Kelly said. “And there will be none until we have orders from the reviewing officer, who will pass on the case.” Reports of the acquittal were prompted by the release of the captain from confinement, in Kelly’s belief. Detzer is still at Governor’s Island awaiting the action of the reviewing official.
