By United Press LONDON, May 6.—Harry Gordon Selfridge, of Chicago and Ripon, Wis.,, who introduced the department store to London, has applied for naturalization as a British subject, it was disclosed today. Since Selfridge, retired from business, came to London a generation ago and decided London needed de-
partment stores, he has built up a gigantic business. His store is a
{ London landmark. During the years
in which he made a new fortune, Selfridge retained his American citizenship and was to be seen at the American Consulate General on occasions, renewing his passport. After attending school at Jackson, Mich., Selfridge went to Chicago. There he entered the employ of Field, Leiter & Co. in 1879 and eventually became partner in the firm of Marshall Field & Co. and manager of the firm's retail store. In 1904 Selfridge sold his interests retired. His retirement was brief, He bought with others the firm of Schlesinger & Mayer and made it H. G. Selfridge & Co. He soon sold out, and went to London in 1906. Again he “retired” but the need- of London for a department store of American type lured him back into business. He organized Selfridge’s.

they were born and left nothing but tangled ruins. The children had been vaccinated, subjected to medical examination, and assembled in groups at various parts of Bilbao. With each group was a schoolteacher. The Loyalist government had pledged that no political discrimination would be shown in selecting the children. There were children of rich men and poor, of men fighting for the Rebels as well as men on the Loyalist side. Each child was given a little suitcase with a number on it, and for | the next few days will be known by the number.

local took a vote before the strike. (The strike that has tied up the In-dianapolis-Anderson line since March 19). A—It was not. But let me explain why. Every time we tried to take a strike vote Mr. Elder would pack the hall with men he paid to be there. 2 Q—Do you know any of the men he paid to be there? A—Yes. Q— (Bullet like) Who? A— (Mu. Johnson named a man.) He came on his pay check. He was working and a foreman told him to go to the meeting and his pay would be taken care of. Q—Mr. Elder didn't tell him to go? Charles Salyer, Anderson union local attorney, interposed: “I object. That's not necessary.” Examiner Seagle allowed the answer, : A—No, but his foreman. did: Q—You were not threatened with discharge if you @id not sign the petition for the 12!; per cent increasé (as opposed to the 20 per cent increase an arbitration board had allowed)? A—There were hardships. : Q (By Examiner Seagle)—What do you mean? A—I was changed on my shift. ° - Q— (McHale resuming) — That's customary to shift: men in case of an emergency, isn't it? A—Yes, in emergencies. But my ordinary job was air brake repairman and the new job was working on busses and interurbans. y Q—What difference was there in

jobs? A—The new one was avier. . Q—But you were returned to your regular job? A—Yes. Previously, I. S. Dorfman; NLRB | attorney, brought from Mr: Johnson the statement that the union had been “scared into accepting 121; per cent raises instead of the mediated 20 per cent. He stated, also, that foremen and supervisors had asked hi use his influence among the men to get them to sign. Former Employee Testifies At yesterday's hearing a former company employee, Raymond R. Rightor, 862 N. Drexel Ave., charged he saw eompany officials board an Anderson-bound interurban on Jan. 25, the night it is alleged Robert B. Armstrong, - an international union official, was threatened by a mob. : He said: “I saw -Mr. Rappeport (Louis Rappeport, company auditor) and Mr. Brown (L. M. Brown, general superintendent) board a car for Muncie at 6:10 p. m., January 25, 19317.” Mr. Rightor testified that the day following the alleged disturbance he talked with Howard Eiseman, a company employee. He said Mr. Eiseman told him of being in Anderson. 4 “ ‘Boy, you should have been with us at Anderson’, he said to me. I said ‘What happened?’ He said, ‘We had a hell of a time. If police hadn't escorted Mr. Armstrong and Zimring (another labor leader) out of the union hall they ‘would have been pulled out of a window.”

ham Campus in Annual Celebration.
Times Special RICHMOND, - May 6.—Tomorrow the 50-acre Earlham College campus will be transformed, as faithfully as possible, into an old English village. There will be Friar Tuck, Robin Hood, Mother Goose, chimney sweeps, gypsy dancers, peddlers and others—portrayed by the 400 students, professors and their wives— and there will be a yoke of oxen from Paragon, Ind.
There will be Mrs. Tennessee Tomlinson Phillips, Santa Anna, Cal.,, who was Earlham's first May Queen—1874-1876—and probably tne
first May Queen in any American
college. Tomorrow Is May Day
For tomorrow is May Day here, and promises to be larger and more ceremonial than any before. Its costumes are to be more detailed and authentic, its participants more traveled and learned in the tradition of thé ceremony and the school. Mrs. Phillips will be attended, for inytance, by Miss Elizaheth Foulke,
Richmond, a student at Earlham in
1875-76. It was she who conceived the idea of the ceremony and persuaded the authorities to allow the girls to go through with it. Mrs. Phillips says of that first ceremony: “The Queen was to be dressed in white, but I had no white dress. A girl lent me one. It was rather thin, and thgt was a day of heavy flannels. The girls’ matron, fearing I would catch cold, got me a white jacket. “The+~boys were not allowed in, but as they say, it ‘leaked through the lines’ and the next day I received a basket of oranges, bananas
