HAMMOND ONCE MORE WINS HONOR. (Continued front pace 1).

FRANCHISE FIGHT

Indianapolis, Ind. The Boot and Shoe "Workers' International union makes claim that its system of 25 cents a week dues saves It from the fear of strikes, and In such emergency does away with the necessity of calling upon sister crafts for financial aid. High dues also enable the union to prosecute more successfully Its campaign for the union stamp. In Great Britain the stamp has " never been adopted by the union of that country, though agitation for its adoption 13 now going on, because the Britishers are beginning to recognize the power there is behind the American stamp

Judgment enjoining the Western Union Telegraph com- ! pany from doing an interstate business except in the transmission, of messages of the federal government until such time as it shall tako out a permit to do business in the state and pay the required occupation and franchise taxes was rendered by District Judge Calhoun, who stated that he adopted the finding of the Kansas supreme court in a similar case, under a like statute there. The judgment in no way affects nor Interferes, with interstate business of the telegraph company. Motion for a new trial was filed by the defendant and acts as a tay of the injunction order. Pittsburg, Pa. An order issued by the Pennsylvania railroad to discharge all foreigners and employ none but American citizens has caused a sensation. The order affect3 only the laborers, as the ofSce force, operating and mechanical departments have always been operated by English-speaking men. The Pennsylvania railroad system, when operating to Its full capacity, employs about 180,000 persons. Chicago. Officials of the "Wholesale Grocery Employes' union signed the new wage agreement for the coming year. The old scale, ranging from $11 to $16 a week, was agreed upon. The men receded from their demand for a nine-hour day, ten hours constituting a day's work under the agreement. The union is affiliated with the freight handlers' organization. Chicago. The strike voted by fee milk wagon drivers' union was approved by the teamsters joint council. The indorsement was unanimous. Nothing now remains to make the strike legal but the sanction of the executive board of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters at Indianapolis, Ind. Boston. Nineteen cigar manufactur ers locked out their union men to enforce the ultimatum given to the union to the effect that they must take off the ban against a shop in which men had struck following a disagreement with a foreman over a shop rule.. The union men in 33 other shops are working. Washington. In the April number of the Federationist President Samuel Gompers of the Federation of Labor, again declared "that there is no law nor court decision compelling union men or the friends of labor to buy any of the things upon which labor has placed the stamp of disapproval." Boston. At a conference representatives of 8,000 employes on the system informed officials of the road that a change from day work to the piece work and bonus system would result in a strike. Columbus, O. Strong pressure haB been exerted by manufacturers on Gov. Harris to veto the Reynolds child labor bill, now passed by both houses Arguments have been used both from the factory and the children's point of view, and delegations who have vis ited the governor have "expressed a belief that he would veto the measure with a view of having one less drastic passed by the legislature. Pottsville, Pa. Orders were issued by the Philadelphia and Reading Coal & Iron company for the resumption of the 55 collieries and washeries of the company, after having been on half time for the last two months. This will affect about 25,000 men and boys. - Harrisburg, Pa. About 1,000 men in the shops of the Pennsylvania railroad in and about this city were suspended Indefinitely, and an order was issued to put the men still on the rolls on increased, time. ' Seattle, Wash. Only nine of the salmon canneries will be operated this season, and Chinese labor contracts are being let on a basis, of less' than half of the pack of an average season. Now York. The relations between the Erie Railroad company and its employes took an abrupt turn for the better when it was learned that the company will not attempt to enforce the proposed ten per cent, reduction in the wages of Its operating forces.. Rather than face the disastrous conditions of Des Moines, la. A home for aged and needy Iowa coal miners probably will be established here this year. The sentiment in favor of this project appears to have grown rapidly, and when the question Ss resubmitted it ', probably will be carried by a large majority. . . . ..

Boston. The general reduction of ten per cent, in the wages of New England cotton-mill operatives which was recently decided upon became effective in mills employing 120,000 persons. The reduction is due to the depression of the cotton-goods market,

which forced many mills to curtail production. The city of Fall River, i Lawrence and Berkshire county are i not included in the general reduction, but may be affected later on. The l curtailment is general throughout New, England. The average curtail- : ment is placed at from 20 to 2o per I cent, of the production. The cotton, duction cf print cloths was lessened ; by about 155,000 pieces, the largest I amount held from the market thi3 year. It is probable that most of the i Fall River mills will adopt M. C. D, Borden's policy and run on half-time, closing every other week. Washington. In the next GO days the railrqads of the United States will have to find between 250,000 and 300,000 men to mend their tracks and road beds and another large army to go into their shops and repair their cars and their locomotives. The railroads centering in Chicago alone will require more than 100,000 laborers, who will be employed in, remedying the ravages of the winter months which, with their frosts and their snows, have made many miles of shaky track and as many more of Cwi ..uv, of all Chicago roads have decided to engage in repair and renewal work this spring and early summer on as extensive a scale as ever, owing to the fact that labor will be plentiful, and possibly cheaper, and also owing to the fact that there are signs of business renewal everywhere. Chicago. Employes of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul road, by co-operating with the management to obtain the most rigid economy in operation, have saved the necessity of a reduction in the rate of pay. During January $160,000 was thus saved, of which $38,000 was on coal. This is, perhaps, the one item in which the greatest economy is possible, as careless firing of locomotives is one of the most productive fields for extravagance to be found. Reading, Pa. At the close of work in the Reading Railway company's car and locomotive shops March 31 600 employes were laid off. This is in addition to 350 who were indefinitely suspended last week. The force had been previously reduced, so that less than two-thirds of the men are now at work. Foremen have been placed in the ranks and the plants are working four days of eight hours each. Similar suspensions took place at Palo Washington. The Employers' association has thrown down the gauge of battle the battle for the open shop and it is said similar organizations of employers in the large cities, backed by the Manufacturers' association, will make united and determined efforts to maintain open-shop conditions, and that the contest in the com ing spring will be general. Springfield, 111. Illinois operators and miners were unable to reach an agreement on the differential between machine and hand mining. The operators want the price for machine mining ten cents per ton less than for hand mining, the same as it is in Indiana. The miners want the difference now existing of seven cents per ton retained. Pittsburg, Pa. From the year 1890 to the close of 1906, 22,849 men met death in the coal mines of the United j 1 States. Not since 197 has the an nual list numbered less than 1,000, and each year the number has grown larger. In 1906 the fatalities were 2,061, and 1907, when the figures are all in and compiled, will number more than that. Paris, France. Statistics show that In 1906 there occurred in France no fewer than 1,300 strikes, in which 438,466 persons were concerned. This number included 386,435 men, 31,331 women and 16,710 young persons ot both sexes. Most of these strikes were successful in securing shorter hours for the wage earners. Spjingfield, 111. William Scalfe, for 11 years employed in the ofSce of the secretary of the Illinois state bureau of labor, has been appointed editor of the United Mineworkers' Journal, published at Indianapolis, Ind. Sedalia, Mo. A notice was posted at the Missouri, Kansas & Texas railway shops announcing that the shops, which employ 500 men, would be shut down on April 1. No explanation was given. New York. Controller Metz received three letters threatening him with death unless work on proposed subways 'is begun at once. The writers declared themselves to be neither black hand operators nor anarchists, but laborers out of employment who must either work or starve. New Haven, Conn. As an outcome of a strike of cigarmakers in the factory of J. P.-Kilfeather, the Cigar Manufacturers' association , threatens to close all factories in this clty,unles3 the "Kilfeather shop Is declared open to unian men. This will affect approximately 2,000 men.. ...

She is a frail little girl very much younger than the rest, her dresses reached scarcely below her knees, she seemed to be too young to be seriously considered as a dangerous contestant but there was a sparkle and a fire In her clear eyes that had not been reckoned with and when she had finished with her oration there was not a person In the house who did not have a world of admiration for the plucky Hobart girl. Miss Banks took as an example of the Injustices that Is frequently meted out to societies' criminal Jene Valjean, the principal character in Les Mlserables who stole a loaf of bread to feed his indignities that could ,be subsequently suffered all of the punishment

ana indignities that could be heaped upon a crlmInal of the worst type She maintained that people were frequently the objects of missaplied justice and that society punished instead the wrong der instead of correcting the wrong, She said that society did not take into consideration the fact that crime is frequently a matter of heredity or a disease which should be treated as such. When the judge announced that Miss Banks has won second place the little girl, who apparently feared that she had little chance to win started forward in her cnair and her face lighted with inexpressabie Joy. It was a victory for her and whether or not the audi ence agreed with the judges In their

i ,j . . i a. i me iciuit'i iiau lauen wnere 11 wuum cause so much happiness.. The oration of Walter Smith of "Whiting was finished and well delivered. r.ubject was "The Problem of the Am erican isegro, ana tnere were many who thought that Mr. Smith should have had second place. His manner of delivery was easy and his gestures were the most natural of all. It is understood that the judges would have awarded him second place if he had thrown more spirit into his delivery. Mr. Smith described the period following the civil war when the negro race was in such a state of chaos He 'spoke of the "little education that is j dang.eroug-. and drew the conclusion ;tnat practicai education, not the oretlcal would be the salvation of the race. Miss Flossie Plckard of East Chicago. was given fourth place and in the opinion a great many deserved a second or at least a third place. Her de livery was excellent her self confidence and poise admirable, her voice was good and her subject, "The Problem of the Waif" was well chosen. It had to do with.one or tne sociological proDiems of the day and she took as an example the life of the newsboy in Chicago. She showed that his environment was such as to give him every opportunity to become a criminal and her idea of a solution of the problem was the substitution of a gymnasium and more elevating forms of pleasure for those which now threaten and finally 1 bring about his ruin. There was sequence and logic in her composition and her illustrations were admirably adapted to the subject. Miss Hazel Smith of Crown Point spoke on the subject, "More Regard for the Law." Her position was well taken. her voice was good and all of her ar guments were strong. There was hardly enough force to her delivery, however, and this probably counted against her. Miss Bessie Griffith of Lowell chose as her subject, "Woman Suffrage in America: Pro and Con." It was unfortunate that she attempted to present both sides of the subject for therein lay her weakness. The oration was simply a Dresentation of the arguments on both sides and did not give her hearers any decided impression. In the musical contest the Whiting, Hammond and East Chicago were the real contestants. The Hammond chorus was the largest and Mr. Learning chose an exceedingly difficult selection to be gin with. "Hail Alma Matter" was well rendered but there was something of a lack of spit in its rendltionthat prob ably counted against the local school. The Whiting chorus was exceedingly well balanced and well trained and Hammond critics generally conceded that they deserve the victory. Whiting students sang but one selection, "To Three Oh Country," but it was exceed ingly well sung. The grade of the various schools in music was as follows: Whiting, 15; Hammond, 19; East Chicago, 21; Hobart, 34; and Whiting last. The grade in oratory was Hammond, 19; Hobart, 2b; Whiting, 38; East Chicago, 45; Crown Point, 47; and Lowell, 68. NOTES OF THE CONTEST. Towles opera house never held more people than it did last night, x Every available seat was taken and there were people outside waiting to hear the outcome of the oratorical contest. waiter bmitn is not discouraged Dy the outcome of the contest last night. He says he will enter again next year and he hopes with the experience lie has had this time he will be able to win. G. H. Thompson, superintendent of the Hobart schools, made the announcements and was so sober about it that the word was passed around tha he was the "Gloomy Gus" of the enter tainment. This made a hit with the students. The cheering was never better. The boys got all of the yells off in a choppy. snappy manner that was very effective. In fact, Towles opera house was not big enough to hold the noise. , The playing of the Baptist orchestra was one of the features of the enter tainment and the first selection was very much appreciated. This can not 1 be said of the second and final selec tion however, for the noise of the yelling students was so great that the music was not heard back of the fifth row. There is little complaint with the de cision of the Judges and every contestant is taking his victory or de feat in good grace. The fact that the contest was neia in nammona aia did not affect the result in the least and all of the visitors were treated fairly. The Hotel Majestic was made the headquarters of the students from out of town after the contest and until after eleven o'clock they made the night Hideous with their yells.

The Old Time Bitterness Against Gary and Interurban is Revived. BOARD BETWEEN TWO FIRES Want to Please People and at the : Same Time Give Company Fair Shake. All of the old-time bitterness which was prevalent in Gary at the time that I the street car franchise" was granted to the Gary and Interurban, has been ! revived and is the central topic of dis cussion throughout the city. The three parties which are directly concerned in the matter are business men, the board of trustees, and the promoters of the street railway. The opinion existing among the busi ness men is that they are being imposed upon, that the line is neither being constructed fast enough nor with ods. The Gavit Interests feel that they have also been imposed upon by the citizens of the town, have been grossly misrepresented. Between the two fac tions stands the board endeavoring on the one hand to give the people what they want. Immediate and proper street car transportation, and at the sam time to deal fairly and justly with the company to which they have already given the franchise. Business Men Aroused. The ire of the business men as ex pressed at the recent meeting of the Gary Commercial club has bee nfully aroused. They are not mincing their words in open and determined con demnation of the road. On all sides. among individuals and orgaiizations a wail of protest has been raised which is dainly gaining in volume and bit terness. Most of the business men seem satisfied in their own minds that the Gary and Interurban have no inifiniuu jl completing me line in a reasonable time, if at all. They feel that the manner in which the rails! are laid, the quality of the rails themselves, would be a most disappointing feature in the attempt to make Gary a model city. The board of trustees are in a quandry over the situation. They are far from satisfied that the road is being constructed in a proper manner and yet are compelled to admit that they are not in a position to Judge. In lieu of this fact, therefore, they are about to appoint, it is understood, an impartial, competent judge in the construction of street railways. Upon their decision will be based the action of the board in the future. Knott Talk. President Thomas E. Knotts stated this morning that the question had reached a stage where Immediate action must be taken. "I feel that it is the duty of the board to at once determine the true status of affairs and act accordingly," said Mr. Knotts. that the franchise has been granted to the Gary Interurban, we are compelled to recognize their legal and moral rights. We wish to act fairly and impartially in the matter and while protecting the Interests of the city we do' not propose to intrude on the rights of the road." Mr. Knotts also stated with fervor that he believed that much of the crit icism heard in the city was partial. unfair and based upon an insufficient knowledge of the situation. He said that he believed that the uncompromIsinS attiture of antagonism, borne by

the officials of the steel company had they believe they will be able to acmuch to do with the sentiment of the quit. The mystery hinges on the people, and he did not see how the money, amounting to $25,000, which the

steel company could treat the matter impartially. Ralli Criticised. It is the consensus of opinion that the rails which are neither heavy enough nor high enough. It is also muuBui uim me sana upon wnicn tney are laid is an improper ballast and with the twe defections will surely cause a sagging of the pavement. Mr. Gavit promises, however, that If the rails do not prove satisfactory that in the course of two years he will replace them and forfeit a reasonable bond which may be posted to insure sat isfactory results by their usage. The recent trip to Michigan City seemed to partly satisfy the board that there is a possibility that th sixty pound, low rail can be used success fully. There, is is understood that these rails have been used for six years ana tne property owners seem to De wen satisnea. mere is some' question, nevertheless, about the slmllarity of the two kinds in the matter of weight. THE M. A. A. ORGANIZES BASEBALL TEAM. Whiting, Ind., April 11. (Special.) The basketball season having closed the M.

WEALTHY SWINDLER PUZZLESAII01EYS Gary Fleecer of Foreigners Enigma to His Own Lawyers. GOURDS SECRET OF TREASURE Twice Wavers Toward Freedom But in End Refuses to Divulge Money's Hiding Place. The case of Nikoli Pradonovich, the wealthy foreigner charged with fleec ing his countrymen out of more than $10,000, has become one of the greatest mysteries in the annals of police his tory in Gary. Harris and Bretsch, the attorneys for the alleged embezzler, are puzzled at the action of the man whom they are about to defend and whom man professes to have, and which fact Is generally accredited by his friends When first arrested the man stoic ally refused to furnish bond for him self, thereby revealing the place where his money was concealed, and express ed a desire to serve whatever term he Is given and leave the penitentiary a rich man. After being taken to Crown Point to await arial it was not long before he expressed a desire to be re leased on bond, and sent to Gary for his attorneys. Papers Are Drawn I'p. The latter drew up the necessary pa pers' secured bondsmen until the pris oner's money could be obtained and the man would be then set free. When this was accomplished and they were about to release the man, three weeks ago. he suddenly changed his mind and no persuasion could force him to leave the Jail The only explanation was that the thougs of losing his money prompted him to remain in jail. Again on Wed nesday he appealed to his attorneys to have him released on bond, and at this time J. Glenn Harris, his attorney, was to be sworn in as a deputy con stable and take the man to Chicago where his money could be drawn from a bank and all of his creditors paid off in full. When the preparation had been made for this, again the man wavered and finally refused to reveal where his money was located. Habits Are Exemplary. Pradonovich is one of the shrewdest criminals ever dealt with in the coun ty. Jtie neitner annus, gamoies or even smokes and the money which he has confiscated must still be in his possession. After leaving Gary he had I only been gone a week when he was hcaptured, and it would have been im possible for him to have disposed of the monev. The nolice d torneys for the prosecution and those who have been duped have searched high and low for the hidden treasure .without success. The man admits that lte owes his former partner $1,500, but if the partnership can be proven Jhe action will then be civil and not criminal. Hammond Lawyer's Quest Vain. The fact has just been revealed that two attorneys of Hammond recently became interested in the case and determined to find out where the' man's

money was located. Pradonovich di rected them to a trust company which they located with much effort on Milwaukee avenue, Chicago, In the foreign district of the city. Upon inquir ing for a safety deposit box of a certain number they were informed that the box was owned by a minister. They were then given the description of the man and they recognized it as that of a man that had previously done business with them. The attorneys were compelled to return to Hammond without accomplishing a thing in the way of locating the money. If Pradonovich were to be released on a bond of $2,000 he would at once be rearrested and again released on another bond of the same amount, cov ering the same charge. His dogged determination to remain in jail and the sudden changing of his mind when he asked to be released on bond is a puzzle too deep for even his own attorneys to solve. They admit that they are completely baffled by his actions and have now determined to hold him in Jail until the trial In spite of any of his expressed wishes to the con trary. 80 Cents Cures Rheumatism Fort Wayne Man Has a Wonderful Case of Recovery. II. A. Alter. After Suffer! nir For Six teen Years "With Rheumatism, Is Cured by a Few Doses of a Simple Prescription. (From the Ft. Wayne Journal-Gazette) Mr. Henry A. Alter, the well-known contracting painter, met the writer and told him a most interesting story of sixteen years' experience with rheumatism, and how he finally found a cure in a simple, inexpensive remedy. Believing that it will be of value to many of our readers, we obtained the prescription, which we kladly publish with Mr. Alter's interesting experience. In the winter of 1893, Mr. Alter was taken with inflammatory rheumatism and confined to his home, 1306 Summit street, three months with this most painful of all diseases. With the coming of spring, he recovered sufficiently to attend to his business, but each following winter for fifteen years, he was again confined to his bed for from two to four months. Doctors and patent medicines all proved worthless. Every remedy recommended by anxious friends and relatives was tried until he was so discouraged over the hopeless struggle that he was on the verge of resigning himself to his fate. Early in the winter of 1907-8, his sixteenth attack started with evidence of being more severe than ever. About this time he heard of a simple home prescription. Sending to a nearby druggist he was astonished to find that it could be filled for about eighty cents. He was still more agreeably astonished to find himself improvin fro malmost the first does. It a few days he was able to be out attending business, and now, two months later. believes himself completely cured. Knowing Mr. Alter personally and having heard from his own lips the ac count of his marvelous cure, we in vestigated, and, after finding that the prescription could be filled by any druggist, decided to publish it. It is as follows: oz. Fluid Extract Cascara ,1 oz. Concentrated Barkola 'Compound and 4 oz. Aromatic Elixir. To be taken in teaspoonful doses after each meal and on retiring. HOBART. On account of the sudden death of Mr. Kinkade's sister, he was unable to be with us last Sunday, but expects to be with us in Ithe future.

He found Mr. Evans in bed and unabel to get up. The doughty officer of the law, however, was nothing daunted at a little difficulty like this. He, with some assistance, carried the invalid from her squalid quarters out onto the street. She was followed by her household goods, all of which were set out upon the sidewalk.. Neighbors took pity upon the wom an and some one called Dr. Onsiey.
