Barr admitted that he has a wife and son in Indianua polls and a wife in Goshen. Arthur Buchanan, who has been rooming at J22U West Ohio street, Indianapolis, committed suicide by shooting himself through the right temple after he had shot and probably fatally wounded Mrs. Vera Ilecht. a widow, who has a rooming house at 311 Bast Vermont street. Jealousy is ascribed by the authorities as the motive for the tragedy. Twenty-five hundred farmers from various parts of Wabash county met in Wabash for their first annual picnic, discussed plans for raising .$,",- 000, the eounty quota for the state farmers' guarantj- fund of $200,000, and listened to Governor Goodrich uphold the tax law passed by tiie last legislature, as well as denounce socialism, government control and the present freight rates in Indiana. Tlie Housewives' League of Marion eounty went on record as heartily indorsing a wholesale terminal market for the city of Indianapolis and pledging Itself to work for immediate action to that end. The resolution was passed, on motion of Miss Julia Landers, at the meeting in Ihe auditorium of the public library. Mrs. Thomas J. Milan, who presided, explained the advantages which housewives will derive from the wholesale terminal market in Indianapolis. ' The Marion eounty grand jury, carrying out its investigation of the high cost of living in Indianapolis, returned !17 Indictments, charging 14 commission merchants and lirms with violation of the state law which provides that certain foodstuffs shall be sold by avoirdupois weight or by numerical count. Specific instances are mimed in each Indictment In which it is alleged the commission firms sold foodstuffs to retailers by the basket, bag, box or barrel, Instead of by weight or count, as Is provided in an act of the legislature of 1017. An affidavit, charging the pollution of Blue river near Shelbyville, has been filed in police court by George N. Mannlieh, chief of the fish and game division, state conservation commission, against the Fame Canning company, which operates a cannery in that city. The allidavlt followed a visit to that city a few days ago by Mr. Mannfield, who inspected Blue river above and below the canning plant. Below the factory the river was filled with dead fish, and the banks were dotted with them. Tests showed that the fish lti this water would die in from two to ten minutes. It Is alleged that the water is poisoned by refuse emptied Into the river from the canning plant. A policeman and two gunmen were wounded in a revolver battle between detectives and Chicago bandits . at Whiting. Two of the three bandits who took part in the fight were captured.

Schutter, forty years oii, of Vinccnnes, having a wife and three children, confessed after 11 hours continuous grilling, that he assaulted and murdered Mrs. Anna Leinbach, seventy-four years old, widow of William Leinbach, a butcher. The woman's mutilated body was found in a weed patch the morning of Aug. 23. Miss Mayme Calloway, daughter of David Calloway of Fowler, was killed, it is believed accidentally, soon after she had announced at home that she was going rabbit hunting. She was fond of outdoor life and spent much of "her time in the -woods. She drove an automobile along a country road and had stopped the machine. Her body was found in front of the ca r. Texas Miller, a returned soldier who, with his brother, owned a restaurant at Hammond, was found behind the restaurant with his skull crushed. Peter Mak, Jr.. son of Peter Mak. formerly mayor of West Hamrnoiil, confessed that in an altercation with Miller over the right to collect his garbage he struck Miller over the head with an iron bar and killed him. Harvey P.urnham, a farmer of Burnham, is also held in connect? or. with the crime. Five planes and 30 motortrucks, constituting the All-Ameriean pathfinder squadron which left Hazelhurst field, Mineola, L. I., on August 13 on a recruiting tour and to prepare maps of aerial mail routes have arrived in Indianapolis. The plar.es came from Columbus, O.. Saturday, and the motor transports pulled up at the speedway shortly after 3:30 o'clock. The squadron is under the command of Maj. Ora M. Bardinger. The machine shop of the motor transports is set on a huge 11-ton truck, which requires the services of engineers who accompany the squadron for the pur po.se of strengthening bridges over which the heavy trucks must pass. About 100 members of the six federated crafts of railroad shopmen in Indianapolis met at Germania hall on South Delaware street to discuss labor conditions. Speakers criticized the efforts of local officials to reduce the high cost of living and assailed the distribution of sugar here. "These meetings are held for the purpose of discussion by laboring men of questions to better their conditions," said Fred Galloway, chairman of the Indianapolis committee of the crafts. "Department of justice men and all others are welcome to attend them, we do not advocate bolshevism or I. W. W. principles." Mr. Galloway announced that the meetings will be continued at times announced later. Five orders were issued by the public service commission at Indianapolis. The orders were announced following a conference of the members of the commission called by E. I. Lewis, chairman. The Batesville Gas company was granted permission to increase its rates. The Greensburg Water company was authorized to issue $120,000 of its 5 per cent accumulative preferred stock and to exchange It par for par, for the present outstanding mortgage indebtedness of $120,000 par value of 4 per cent bonds. The commission denied the petition of the Decatur County Telephone company of Greensburg, asking for authority to make a charge for overtime service. Permission was granted to French Lick and West Baden Street railway to discontinue temporarily the operation of cars between French Lick and West Baden. An extension of 45 days, from September 1 to October 15, was granted the Indianapolis Street Itailway company in which to secure the consent of bondholders to the retirement of bonds in the sinking fund. Hammond, again the scene of rioting and bloodshed In connection with a strike of employees of the Standard Steel Car company, is quiet. A vigilance committee consisting of 24 citizens, is co-operating with the city authorities in an effort to prevent further outbreaks. Seven of the alleged leaders of the mob which clashed with

20 policemen and 20 guards of the Standard plant Tuesday, when 200 of the original 2,000 strikers attempted to return to work, resulting in the policemen and guards fining rilies into the ranks of the strikers, are being held In jail. The latest police list of casualties includes three men dead, two, whom the physicians say will die, and 50 wounded, eight of whom are in a serious condition. Teter Austgen. chief of the police, says that 500 of the strikers are ready to return to work, but that they are being kept from doing so for the most part by the others. The men who wish to return, he says, are practically all Americans, while the others are of foreign birth and, as a rule, unnaturalized. The st irk its quit in an effort to obtain a raise from 42 to 50 cents an hour, and other concessions. Myster surrounds the devastation of a three-acre watermelon patch on the Mrs. Addie Reed farm, tenanted by Charles Crider. near Twelve Mile. Nearly every melon was mashed.

"If I were a sensational preacher, and wanted more notoriety than I was getting," a trifle grimly said J. Fuller Gloom, "I would not waste my time infesting boxing matches, rowdydow dances and the like. Instead, I would array myself in a guileless countenance and a set of false neck whiskers. In my right hand I would wear a cane of weeping willow with a hook on one end and a thimble on the other. With my left hand I would clutch by the ears such a gripsack as we seldom see in real life. Of course, I would wear other and equally appropriate garments. And thus arrayed I would ramble around in the vicinity of the Union station, and let the denizens of that locality play with me. I fancy that in a short spell I would accumulate more novel experiences than I could otherwise acquire in a year's time." Kansas City Star. Didn't Disturb Him. Mrs. Gragon Wake oop, ye foghorn!
