THE THRILLING ANNALS Those who have written the pioneer Gary was new and who believed that

press that the halycon days of adventure were gone have been sadly mistaken if they so thought. Those days are still here. The bespectacled his

Yesterday when the good ship Douglas Houghton sailed into the port of Gary, the land lubbers and dock wallopers had no realization that part of

her crew was in irons- Mutiny on the

Gary has had all kinds of uprisings and rebellions on land, ranging from attempts to overthrow the Knotts dynasty to a full fledged declaration of hostilities by the Civic league, but this is the first time that the four-year-old city has faced a disturbance on the

high seas.

Of course, had the ore vessel been bourM for Charlevoix, Michigan City, Chicago, or some other genteel port the thing would have never happened.

All that was mortal of James Mahns was laid away in Its final resting

place in the Hammond cemetery yesterday.

It is said that until he breathed his been in a newspaper, and it Is the way quietly and are respected members of good that is said of them. Manns was an industrious sober

strictly to his own business. He was one of a type who go along in the even tenor of their way. molesting no one, dodging notoriety, charitable to their fellows, faithful to their employes, staunch supporters of their union and in every way humble, yet no less valuable members of society such as the world needs every day in the week. Mahns' fellow union brothers followed his bier to its last resting place yesterday, glad to pay their last respects to him and perhaps in the Great Beyond the dead man knows that the world has nothing but good to say of him now that he Is gone.

ONE KIND OF A "YELLOW" PAPER. An innocent child of thirteen was mistreated by a scoundrel in Hammond the other day. The fellow now lies in jail under bond. . It was bad enough for the little girl to be made the victim of a brute of this stripe. It was bad enough for her family to be subjected to the 6hame attendant on such shocking revelations, without having to have their name and the girl's blazoned in the public prints. They at least were entitled to some consideration- Not once, but many times, did a certain Hammond paper, which is continually calling this paper "yellow." print the girl's name in it3 columns when this paper,- with some consideration fcr her and for her family, left it out. If this is being "yellow" THE TIMES is proud to be a "yellow" paper. If the printing of a child's name in connection with such a shameful case constitutes not being "yellow," then THE TIMES is prouder than ever that it is "yellow."

PADRONAGE

The trial of the two men, William Halles. superintendent of labor in the carpentry department of the Gary steel mills, and Kristo Dotchiff, an under -foreman, has again been continued. If these two men ate "guilty of extorting money from the innocent foreigners, as it is alleged, it is to be

hoped when their cases come up for trial they deserve to be made an example of, so that a stop will be put to the nefarious system of padronage that now exists in the various departments of the mills. In speaking of the system, the Whiting Call has the following editorial: "Considerable excitement prevails in employment circles at Gary over the arrest of Wm. Hallas, superintendent of the carpentry department charged with extorting $13 from Albert Smith for giving him a Job. There have been ugly rumors of such procedures in connection with the securing of employment at the big steel plant, and this seems to be the culminationWhether the charges are proven or not, it is pretty certain that some of that low kind of graft has been prevalent, especially among the foreigners, who have come to look upon the giving up of part of their earnings to the "boss" as a matter of course. The writer himself was solicited one day by a stranger on a street car, who couldn't talk much English, but said he wanted a 'job.' 'Get me job?' he said, I give you five, ten. fifteen dollars you get me job.' ....... - "It is a good thing that this investigation has been started, and it is to be sincerely hoped that it will not halt until all the guilty ones are exposed. The existence of such things would explain in a large measure the difficulty of a freeborn American n getting work, where 'greenhorns' tumble into good Jobs as soon as they land. "It may have been noticed that Whiting was not mentioned in the list of cities where this form of graft is supposed to prevail. Let us be thankful for that omission, and may there never be the least excuse for our city to get on such a list."

The meanest man has been found, and this is the story of his meanness: A young man of twenty-three years, bright and Industrious, was employed In the shops of a railway company In Chicago. . One day he was passing between some cars that stood in a poorly lighted passageway. A switch engine suddenly Jammed the cars together, and the young man was caught between the bumpers. ' 4 ' He escaped instant death. But he was made a cripple for life, suffering for many weeks in the hospital before he could return to the borne of his widowed mother. Enter the meanest man. This individual is a "prominent" lawyer of Chicago who formerly had been a neighbor of the young man's family in a small town. The lawyer volunteered his services in bringing suit against the company for damages. It was very clear that the company had been negligent in its manipulation of the cars -without proper lighting. The lawyer said there would be diffi culty in collecting damages. Then this "friend of the family" began the tactics of delay. The case was postponed again and again upon one excuse or another. Finully after an Important witness had disappeared and the merits of the case had been jeopardized by delay the lawyer told the family it was impossi ble to go on with the case. It developed then that the pretended friend of the family had been hired by the railroad's counsel to postpone the hearing and keep the plaintiff out of court. The sequel? When the crippled boy realized the treachery of the lawyer something in his brain gave way. lie became a raving maniac. Did I not say the meanest man had been found? Where will you find a match for this perfidious scoundrel? For a few cursed dollars he becama a traitor to friendship, robbed a help less cripple of his legal rights, left a family without support and drove a human soul to the depths. But God Almighty will search him out either here or hereafter and select him for punishment. Else the Almighty Is forgetful, -which he Is not.

Councilman Phillip Klein's efforts to pass an ordinance cutting automobile speed to four miles an hour at street crossings, which would mean practlc ally everywhere within the Evansvllle ity limits, will probably be shelved. if the statements of Councilman Ell D.

SOME OF THE GIRLS. I know some girls who are strong oniart, and they all have lofty brows! and they paint me scenes in the busy mart, and pictures of pea-green cows; and I say: "It's great! While the ages jwhirl your glory shall nevr fade!"

But my sad heart yearns for the old she made! One girl can talk in the tnmgs, and my whiskers curl and my she springs. I always hand her a big displayed; but, ah, for the girl of an

she made! t know a damsel who plays the harp and sings till you cannot rest; and the golden voice of that female sharp is balm to the savage breast; but oft, as she opens her face and shrieks same song of the highest grade, I think of the girl with the freckled cheeks, who bragged of the bread she made!
