CRACKSMEN ROB STATION

Force L. E. & 'W. Safe at Elwood and Escape With Thirty ... Dollars. Elwood, Ind.,- June 29 Professional cracksmen entered the L. E. & W. station here at an early hour this morning and after wrecking the safe with nitroglycerin escaped with S3O. The report of the -explosion aroused residents in the neighborhood, who noticed two men walking leisurely down the railroad track, carrying suit cases. When the police arrived on the scene there was no trace of the men. but signs of a horse and buggy hitched to the cemetery gate, two squares away, indicated that the thieves made their escape by that method.

TWO TO TWENTY-ONE

Years For Killing Patrolman. — Prisoner Well Satisfied With Finding of Jury. Lebanon, Ind., June 30. —The jury returned a verdict of manslaughter last night, in the case of Albert Spohn, who killed patrolman Joseph Krupp at Indianapolis last April: It was also found that Spohn’s age was twenty. Judge Parr immediately pronounced sentence, and the prisoner will be taken to Jeffersonville tomorrow to serve a term of from two to' twenty-one years. ’. The defendant was well pleased with the verdict. His attorneys announced that there would be" no motion for a new hearing, and that the prisoner was ready to receive sentence. The jury was out four hours. It quickly decided that Spohn, under the evidence, was not guilty of murder in the first degree. Several ballots were taken, however, before the jury could agree between second and manslaughter. - ■ -

LIGHT ON GARY MURDERS

Confession of Missouri Suspect Involves Gang of Criminals. Kansas City, June 30.—James Tonoff, a local murder suspect, by his confession described the workings of a gang of criminals at Chicago and threw some light on three mysterious murders in Gary. Ind. He and two companions in Gary, he said, were ordered by the gang to kill George Alexander. a merchant, and Simon Xesterojt, a baker, and to get their money. Alexander, he said, was hard to find in a' place where the work could be done safely, so they let him go. Xesteroff they found asleep in front of his ovens They killed him with an ax and took 5450 from him. Chief Martin asked I onoff about the murder of Vasil Chritoff, a laborer who went from Chicago to Gary to work in the steel mills, but Tonoff’s replies wered»teager. \ Servian laborer in Gary was beaten ami shot to death last winter. The police believe all three crimes the work of the same persons.

DARLING APPOINTED

On Pardon Board By Governor ‘ . For J. J. Gillette’s Place. Governor Marshall says Harry B. Darling, of Laporte, chairman in 1908. of 1 the Democratic press bureau, will be appointed to the state board-of parddns to succeed John J.. Gillette, of Lagrange. whose term lias expired. With parting. the board will, for the first time in years, have a Democrat as a member. Darling was appointed by Governor Marshall fifteen months ago to ‘succeed Thomas A. Daily, of Indianapolis, who was * commissioned by former Governor Hanly, on the eve of that executive’s leaving office, to fill an unexpired term. The entry •on the official record in the Governor’s office shows Daily to have been appointed for the unexpired term, but the commission issued by Governor mission issued by Gov. Hanly 'was for four years. Daily declined to surrender the place on the date shown by the official record in the Governor’s office, and retains the place, although it has been given him to understand that the Governor believes he is at least morally, not entitled tc bis seat. It is probable that the appointment of Darling will be made soon after the work of the present session of the board has been completed. I

BUTTERMILK

This Hamlet’s Favorite Drink, But Residents Have Wonder “Joint” Snake. Sainte Marie, 111., June 29.—-In this hamlet, which is the metropolis of the buttermilk belt. in Illinois, lives a “joint” snake which is daily making circus acrobatic feats look spurious. Many residents of Sainte Marie hate witnessed the stunts of this rare serpent species and vouch for the truth of its powers. Albert Kauffman discovered the snake in his meadow yesterday. He hit it with a stick'and it flew into five pieces. He had heard that a “joint” snake* would reunite itself, so he waited until sundown, which, according to tradition, is the time the serpent reassembles. * So just as the sun was disappearing he saw the snake gather up its scattered fragments. Meanwhile Kauffman had got a forked stick and a wire cage, and before his snakeship knew what had happened he was in durance vile. The serpent is three feet long and speckled. Kauffman feeds the snake on mice, and it appears to be contented.-

GO TO IT, GIRLS!

Kissing’s Safe and Sane, Says Chief Wiley, of Federal Bureau of Chemistry. Washington, June 28.—The proposition to abolish the gentle practice of osculation by antikissing crusades and health societies is scoffed at by those medical men of Washington who have the least grain of sentimentality left in them, and is regarded as the hugest kind of a joke. Dr. Hdrvey F. Wiley, Chief of the Bureau of Chemistry of the Department of Agriculture, who probably knows as much about disease germs of various kinds as any other man in this country, says he.has yet to see a single instance in which life has been wrecked or shortened as a direct result of disease germs transmitted from a diseased person to a healthy one by the kissing route. Out in Cincinnati the women have-formed the World’s Health Organization, or anti-kissing league. In this month of roses and orange blossoms, wedding marches, blushing brides, and slightly agitated bridegrooms, the league is doing its utmost to abolish the time-honored custom of kissing. \'o more spooning in parks.-or darkened doorways just before good night is said, is the

edict of the society. All of which tas caused Dr. Wiley to wonder what is the matter with the (Jt’wetv City women. "jX society for the prevention of kissing," said the doctor, “is nothing less than a society for the' prevention of pleasure. Just imagine a kissless courtship! Can you contemplate a more uninteresting predicament? I certainly would like to get one peep at the members of an organization which approves of such thing. ‘W hile I long since have reared from the spooning, business, still I have memory, and whenever anyone quotes.me as saving that I believe the kissing habit should be abolished you- can put it down that I have been misquoted. . ’

“I have reached the stage where 1 ce>nfine my kissing entirely t<» relatives and babies, bit’ that is not because I feel the ill effects of disease" transmission from mouth to mouth. ‘‘Take a darkened nook on a moonlight niglH. with the beams playing, around, a couple idly swinging in a hammock; let the amti-kissing society get to work m sue'', a case, and see •■.-mid happen. It would not be i -ng befort- the pair would shift their position and find a mote secluded spot. "You can’t keep it down and .there’s no use trying, and so long S' gdod. red blood courses through the veins of the American youth, and the adults and the youth, and the adults and the aged, too. so far as that is concerned, that delightful sensation which is experienced when" lips touch and arms clasp and ‘two hearts beat as one.’ will'continue to exist.” ’ -

Auditor Jasper County.

FOSS FLATS TARIFF

Says Honest Revision Must Come From Democrats PLEADS FOR EXTRA SESSION Massachusetts Manufacturer Sounds - the Slogan “Free Wool and Cheap Clothing”—Says People Have Lost Confidence In the Republican Party. Congressman Eugene N. Foss, the victor of Massachusetts, a leading manufacturer, by the way. and an exRepublican whom the government's tariff policy has driven into the Democratic ranks, indicated his new position in a stirring speech delivered in the bouse on May 20. He said: "It cannot be denied that the people have, rightly or wrongly, come to regard tliis whole revision' scheme of the Republican party, leaders as planned in the last national campaign and as promulgated its their platform aed as finally butchered in the special tar iff session of congress as an intentional and deliberate bunko game from start to finish.” ’

Speaking of the appointment of a tariff Commission to report as to the difference in cost of production here and abroad, he insisted that the commission should report to congress and not to the president. He asked: “Why does the administration seem to be so solicitous that this commission shall lie absolutely under the con- 1 trol of the executive, seeing that it is primarily intended for such legislative purposes? Is there an ulterior motive? "If the commission is to be merely an executive instrument and report only to the president, how is congress to receive the “Information excepting as the president may elect to transmit it, and what is to prevent the executive department from withholding or suppressing or coloring Such information, as has more than once been done heretofore? Is there not an evident fear that the control of this commission will too soon come into the hands of a Democrat and reform congress?" In ominous tones that caught the

attention of the house he continued: “I recognize that the people have lost confidence in the Republican party and that they are no longer looking to them for an honest revision. The people have turned to the Democratic party. Now the responsibility of an honest revision of the tariff is up to the Dem ocratic party with the aid of the insurgent and such independent elements as will ally themselves with us.” In voicing his demand for another special session to revise the tariff the speaker said: “The people demand that the revision and reduction of the tariff which were promised two years ago by the Republican party be carried out by the Democratic party as soon as the new congress can convene. The Democratic party ought to raise the issue that there shall be an extra session convened next spring to do the work to which this congress has proved faithless. The iteople nave made the immediate reduction of the tariff the issue, and the Democratic party must pledge itself in a most distinct and specific way to carry out this course in order that the mandate shall be a compelling one. that the victory shall be so*complete that the Republican executive will be forced to acquiesce in it and call congress together.’’ Mr> Foss declared that the rallying cry should be made “Free wool and cheap clothing.” But the climax of his speech was his open declaration as a manufacturer that duties were

unnecessary: “Now at this point it seems to devolve upon me as a representative here in congress of this reform and as a representative manufacturer in the iron and steel industry of New England engaged in the production of important lines of machinery, employing large numbers of skilled workmen and using large quantities of the finished products of the steel trust, to : state publicly here that, in my judg- ; ment. my industry and the people em--i ployed in it would not suffer tinder free trade conditions that is. it t*..45 per cent duty was entirely removed l and provided these coirditjons appty • to the whole-iron and steel industry from the coal and iron ore u? This statement is equally true of oth. r sta- » pie industries. In fact, 1 believe today j that under frye trade conditions we Lean compete in the marke:> of the world in most if übt all of these in j ,dustrie.«, and compete to b •:•<■!■ : dvnutage than we now do ”

Is Payne a Philanthropist?

y We clip the following from a pto- , teetionist paper: 1 y “Sixty million pairs of women s and children's hose, worth $7,000,000. weto annually imported under the Ltingley , law, and Mr. Payne thought that $7.000,000 a year would be better paid out in the American factories where wages are $2 a day rather than in Chemnitz, Germany, where the wages are a third of the American standard.” Mr. Payne thought nothing of the kind. He thought that here was an opportunity to do a good turn for his friends the hosiery people at the expense of the comjmunity, and he did it. If we imported■‘s7,"ooO.OOO worth of hose from Germany we certainly sent her $7,000,000 worth Of foodstuffs or some other product of American labor in return for them, and this trade has been injured by putting on the extrx , duty, i Is not the industry that was in- , jured as dear to us as the cotton ho- ■ slery industry that was pampered? It is to the people at large, but not to Mr. Payne and his colleagues.
