Congressman Wants to Hear Discussion of Philippine Tariff Bill, and Says He Wants Big Navy. "I mw that Chairman Payne of the bouse ways and means committee jwould introduce the Philippine tariff will Thursday, so I decided to leave New Castle and go to Washington imbnediately. I want to hear all the discussion on that measure, as I am not Krery well acquainted with our relaEions with the Philippines and I think -will be able to get many valuable pointers." This statement was made last eventing in the lobby of the Westcott hotel Jby Congressman W. O. Barnard. The (Judge was in the city for a few hours, (waiting for the train that would earftry him to the scene of his activities. He had not been in the city fifteen minutes before numerous local business men, manufacturers and merchants, discovered his presence, ' and they took prompt possession of him. They poured into bis ears their opinions of the tariff bill. One wanted this and the other wanted that, but boiling down all of the expressions of opinion heard, the Judge discovered that the general sentiment was, for substantial reductions in the rates. From the remarks dropped by the congressmen it was gathered that he is In sympathy with the views of the local business jnen. . Explains Cannon Vote, u "How about my voting for Cannon?" jih JuiUw Barnard,, repeating a Vt6' tiott directed at him. v ' ;'My constituents were opposed to the ' re-election of Mr. Cannon, as speaker of the house, so when. I went 10 wasningiou i wiu iu iiati ,inM jny constituents did not favor him and that I intended to vote against him in the party caucus," continued Mr. Barnard. "I Joined the ranks of a small band of insurgents and at the caucus I voted against Mr. Cannon. However, he was elected as the party's nominee to the speakership, and when it oame , to .ji vote in the house I voted for him. 9 do not think that the people of the alxth district can find any fault with my course of action." Judge Barnard in talking to a Palladium representative said he did not think that the tariff bill would finally le passed until some time in July. 'I don't think the senate will be rthrough with it before the middle of June," he said. Favors Naval Increase. "How do you stand on the question ( a 'greater navy?" some one asked the congressman. "I'm a Quaker," .he replied with a mile, then continued: "Once I was asked to speak at the yearly meeting on the question of international peace. I excused myself with the statement that if I did speak, my remarks would probably not meet the approval of the peace advocates. "I believe In good ships, good ordinance and good seamen. I regard the navy a good, powerful navy, as the strongest guarantee of peace. I do Hot think the American nation will .ajive up its present naval program."

RIVER POLLUTION BRINGS PROTEST Farmers South of City and Sportsmen Register a Complaint. , ACTION IS TO BE TAKEN CAUSE OF THE KICK PRIMARILY, ? S THE DUMPING OFrOIL INTHE k RIVER BY THE MANUFACTURING CONCERNS. t Effectual protest against oil being permitted to be thrown into Whitewater river ; by local manufacturing concerns is being planned by a co-operative movement between local sportsmen and the farmers south of the city, whose property abuts the stream. Attorneys and the officers of the newly organized Wayne county Fish and Game Protective association will undertake to rid the streams of this nuisance. The oil and waste matter that is poured into the Whitewater at this point is very injurious to the fish. Sportsmen claim the Whitewater would be almost an ideal stream for game fish if it were not for the injurious substances allowed to poison the water. Other streams in the country, which are very similar to the Whitewater contain these fish and instead of taking advantage of the stream at home,' anglers are forced to seek other banks from which to cast their lines. Complained Long Time. -For many years farmers whose land is adjacent to the Whitewater south of the city have been complaining. They claim stock of nearly all kinds refuse to drink the water from the stream. Practically all j the sewage from the city is turned into the river and to this form of pollution the factories add oil and other waste '; material. 1 ' The stream is in such condition south of the city that boys refuse to swim in it and that is regarded as a sure indication there is something very seriously wrong with the water. v , ' The fish' and game society will hold a meeting May 19, at the court house. It is believed that by that time the papers of incorporation will be complete. All charter members of the society are expected to attend as well as all prospective members or those interested. Farmers are invited especially to be present. - . CLOSES THE SEASON. The Vogel minstrels of which two local young men are members, will close its season Saturday, at Newark, Ohio. Roy Peck, blackface comedian, - and waiter Renk. musician, will return to this city: The show was given here during March and attracted large audiences. WHEN YOU GO .away for the summer, what are you going to do with your house? Close it up for the burglars to loot, and then have the landlord take what la left to pay the rent? Certainly not. Find a goad, reliable tenant, who will take care of your foranre and hela you to pay the rent. - Haw to And one? 7by, call Phone 1121 and put la da

CARPENTERS' UNION WAS REORGANIZED

Sixteen New Members Taken In Last Evening at Successful Meeting. ORGANIZER KLEIN SPEAKS WHILE THERE IS MUCH LOCAL BUILDING, THERE. fRE ENOUGH CARPENTERS HERE To" HANDLE ALL OF THE CONSTRUCTION. Another step toward unionizing local labor was taken at Odd Fellows Hall last evening, when a union . of carpenters was organized. The ;new chapter took in sixteen new members and it now has over 100 names enrolled. National Organizer Klein, was present and conducted the meeting. He felt well pleased with the enthusiasm shown. Receive an Increase. An increase of 5 cents per hour for the labor of a union carpenter has been ordered. This advance will mean much to the carpenter as it will average an increase of ? 3 per week. The carpenters object to the representations there will be a large amount of building in this city this summer, as misleading in its tone. They say there are enough men following that work in the city to take care of any building now contemplated. They believe the stories about a large amount of building will tend to bring a large number, of carpenters from other cities, and after arriving here they will not find any work for them to do. Local plasterers have formed a union and indications now are that all trades will be represented by union organizations within a few weeks.

WADE FEEBLY SANG AN OLD HYMN AS THE END CAME Well Known The Approa With a Smil Sang a Far PASTOR'S W PNEUMONIA VICTIM Her Sister, Mrs. Daniel Zook, Of Nappanee, and Her Hus- . band Arrived Sunday After Wild Auto Journey. , Though her loved ones softly sob bed by her death bed, Mrs. Ella Leora Wade, wife of the Rev. R. J. Wade, pastor of the First M. E. church, list ened with a smile of rapture to the beautiful strains of "Jesus Lover Of My Soul," sung by. a number of her sorrow-stricken friends, ' feathered ia a lower room. Feebly she " tried to join. inthe. ch&Epand then, as the singing' ceased" with the iast si line or the beautiful old hymn, she closed, her eyes and - sank to rest. " She had died as she lived in the spirit of God : Probably there was no, more popular woman in the city than Mrs. Wade and her sudden death was a distinct blow to all of them. Last Thursday she was stricken with dread pneumo nia and she sank rapidly. The end came yesterday afternoon at 5 o'clock, Wanted to See Friends. Shortly before her death she ex pressed a desire to pee some of her more intimate friends. About twelve of them gathered about her bed and. after grasping the hands of each of them, she said, "Brother Luring will you start a hymn? Immediately the venerable minister took up the refrain. "We Are Going Home." Smiling with pleasure Mrs Wade joined in the chorus. Finally the nurse requested the devoted friends to leave the room. Mrs. Wade bade them all a last farewell and they left the room, blinded with tears. As the friends sang, "Jesus Lover of My Soul," in a downstairs room Mrs.' Wade would frequently whisper, "sing on, sing on." "I am an old man and have seen much, but never did 1 see such wonderful spiritual power as displayed by Mrs. Wade," stated the Rev. Mr. Luring today. Mrs. Wade's father, Benjamin Tartan of Nappanee, Ind.. was summoned to the bedside of his dying daughter yesterday morning. He came with all haste but arrived fifteen minutes after her death. Wild Automobile Ride. Saturday night Mrs. Daniel Zook of Nappanee, sister of Mrs. Wade, and her husband were summoned. - Notwithstanding the blinding storm they started immediately for Richmond in an automobile. Racing with death and lighted . on their way by the faint glimmer of the machine's lamps and the lightning flashes, they arrived here Sunday morning, after making, probably one of the most remarkable automobile trips on record, in this state. The Rev. and Mrs. R. J. Wade were married seven years ago in Nappanee. To them were born three children, Elizabeth, aged 6 years; Ella Louise, aged 4 years and Paul Raymond, aged one and one half years.; She was born in 1873 at Locktown.

Thousands of Soldiers, as Re

sult of Postal Strike, Were Today Ordered to Be Held For an Emergency. SIX HUNDRED POSTAL EMPLOYES OUT TODAY Workmen in Other Trades Are Notifying Their Striking Brothers That They Will Stand by Them. ' Paris, May 12. France is face to face today with the gravest -crisis in her industrial history. Six thousand postal employes are on a strike here. Thousands of soldiers are under orders to march at a moment's, notice. Some regiments are already patrolling the streets and the postoffices are garrisoned. A bloody commune is feared if either side precipitates violence. At Marseilles the military and civil authorities have made arrangements for wireless communication and automobiles will be pressed Into service for the quick delivery of messages. , At Lyons, the local postmen have issued a final appeal to parliament against what they term "the government's failure to keep its promises." Six Hundred Recruits. Six hundred postal employes at Bordeaux join the strikers today. The crisis was precipitated by the action of the Chamber of Deputies late yesterday, when after a stormy ses sion of four hours, they adjourned the debate on the interpellations on the postal situation until Thursday. The postal employes wanted immediate ac tion. ,.- When they did not get it they issued a sweeping order,, throughout rsaass fasaaassMat. ; ;M. Pauron, a dismissed postman, issued a statement today declaring that the government was playing for time. Dispatches are being received hourly from towns and . cities throughout France by the postmen pledging aid and moral support. Workmen in other trades offer to stand by the postmen and it is feared that the strike may extend to such proportions that business in France will be entirely stagnated. The strikers are demanding the right to unionise; they also demand the dismissal of M. Simyan, under secretary of posts and telegraphs; they want a civil service system conducted upon merit, a revision of hours and more pay. No Letters to Leave. . The general committee of postmen declared that not a letter must leave Paris today. All through the night they laid their plans at their head quarters, detailing bodies of men to station themselves at various points in the city to intercept any attempt o send mall from the capital. Paris Is isolated from the rest of the world today. Only a small portion of the telegraph wires are manned and the postal department is so badly crippled that it is impossible to move the mails. The city is being placarded by the striking men and each card contains an appeal to the public to assist them in their struggle. The Paris chamber of commerce, takes a gloomy aspect of the situation and its members express fear that unless the strike is settled at once, trainmen will -join with the post and telegraphers so that automobiles will have to be pressed into service as a common means of transportation. . . The present strike is more or less of a continuation of the labor troubles which commenced on March 13. London Is Affected. London, May 12. This city feels the effect of the Paris postal strike keenly. Official notification was given today of probable telegraphic delay to Paris as only half the wires are working and the mails are interrupted. Two New York two mon are proasment 1m Aftany.
