REPUBL1CAIIS Gfllll SUPPORT OFLABOR FOR STATE TICKET Leaders of the Organized Workingmen Desert Democrats Who Failed to Fulfill Campaign Promises. UNIONS CHARGE THEY WERE DOUBLE-CROSSED They Now Assert That It Did Them No Good to Make the Fight Against Taft and Watson Two Years Ago.

(Palladium Fprtlal) .ndlanapolls, July 11. --Organized labor is taking a different view of ttn political situation in. Indiana than the one it took two years ago. This early In the campaign, labor leaders are announcing their determination to support the republican ticket, and several of them already have visited the republican state headquarters In this rlty and tendered their services to the rommlttee for whatever work may be assigned to them in the campaign. This Is an encouraging sign to the State committee, for it means that one of the strongest factors in the republican defeat of two years ago will this year be favorable to republican success instead of against It. Organized labor put up a hard fight against the republican ticket two years ago, and it made Itself felt In the result at the lection. The fight was made on James E. Watson, candidate for governor, and on President Taft. The labor organisations were very bitter toward Watson because he bad voted on several measures In congress In a way that offended labor. At the very outset of the campaign of 10OS organised labor Issued a set of charges against Watson setting forth a list or the things he had done In congress which latter did not like. Several Instances were mentioned where he had voted wrong and a desperate fight was made against him on his record. The same plan was adopted with reference to Taft The labor organizations went after him on his labor Injunction record while he was federal Judge In Ohio. The fight against Taft was not as effective, however, as the one against Watson, for Taft managed to carry Indiana by a small plurality while Watson was defeated by 14,000. It was estimated that the effect of the labor fight was the one thing that threw the state away from Watson. In other words, Watson himself said after the election that the number of labor votes which he lost aa a result of the fight of organised labor was bout the number by which he was defeated for governor. Democrats Broke- Forth. The democrats double-crossed organized labor In this state following the election ot 1908. They encouraged the fight against Taft and Watson and made glowing promises of what the democrats would do for organized lator if It would help carry the state for the democrats. Labor leaders were about the democratic state committee rooms all the time, and they were called Into council frequently by the party leaders. The labor unions had every reason to believe that they would receive fair treatment at the hands of the democrats If they would but assist In bringing about a democratic victory. They believed the democrats were telling them the truth and that they would do what they promised to do. So strong was the fight which was made by. organized labor that Samuel Gompers, president of the American federation of labor, was brought into the state tor a speaking trip. A sperial train was provided and Gompers pent four days In speaking all over the state especially In the large labor renters. His special effort was directed against Taft and Watson, but he and the rest of the labor speakers recommended the election ot the entire democratic ticket. But the democrats gave organized labor a fine double cross after the electIon. Labor had been promised legislation by the democrats. There were several matters which the labor unions wUhed to have passed by the legislature, and the democrats promised them that the program should go through. I'ut when the legislature came on and the democrats found themselves with a good working majority they apparently forgot all about their promises to organised labor. The fact Is that labor did not get a single thing that it had hoped to get. The program was laid aside. Although numerous labor leaders were about the state house throughout the session appearing before committees and urging the enactment of certain laws, no attention was paid to them. Tile situation finally berame so strained that some of the labor leaders began to denounce the democrats for their failure to carry out their promises. One laboring man a member ot a union and also a member ot the house, made a speech one day In which he denounced his democratic colleagues for their failure to give labor what they had promised.

FIRM DOES BIG BUSINESS FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY COME REQUESTS FOR THE COAT-OF-ARMS THAT'LL BE AFTER SHAMING THE BRADY'S. Has anybody here seen Kelly! K-E-double L-Y. Has anybody here seen Kelly! Kelly with the green necktie. Sure his baljUlOJ&MOJMJf . -r blue; He's an Irish gentleman through and through. Has anybody here seen Kelly! Kelly from the Emeral Isle. Many Richmond Kelleys have received letters In the last week or two Informing them that they are descendants of ancient Irish kings, and for the modest sum of $1 they will be sent the famous Kelly coat of arms. The letters are sent out by a Philadelphia concern that makes a business of looking up "family trees," and the Kellys all over the United States are receiving the glad news. The Kellys Were Kings. - The "discovery" that Kelly was once a king of Ireland was made by a representative ot the Philadelphia concern "after years of research in the libraries of Dublin, Cork, and Belfast" The ancestral coat of arms Is something that every Kelly should haveaccording to the letter and as there are only a few thousand left, it behooves Kelly to remit his $1 without delay. The letter in part is as follows: Mr. Kelly Dear Sir: We have Just received from out agent In Dublin a rare old engraving of the coat of arms of the Kelly family. We are now producing this for framing and printing a pamphlet describing It and giving the lineal descent of the first Kelly from Heremon, first king of Ireland, and through a long line ot Irish monarchs. Only enough will be printed to fill advance orders. The price is only $1. Send cash with order. It's Proud They Are. Have you noticed Kelly since he got the word from Philadelphia? He holds his head higher than usual and he will hardly bow to the Gradys and Relllys. "What's come over Kelly?" Is the question his neighbors are asking. When a Kelly meets a Kelly they shake hands cordially and the conversation is about their ancestral coat of arms. "There is only one way to spell the name, and that Is K-e-double 1-y. Those who slip In the extra E between L and Y are not the real Kellys. the descendants ot Irish royalty." A well known Richmond Kelly said it was not news to him that he was a lineal descendant of a king of Ireland. "Sure the Kellys are the greatest people in Ireland," said he. "There Is no name in Irish history that stands out like Kelly. He can like Kelly can. I don't want to speak disparagingly ot any Irish name, but Kelly beats them all." GETS JUDGMENT ON NOTE.

Board of Public Works Has a Hard Time Trying to Make Original One Dollar Do the Work of Two.

MUST APPROPRIATE SOME LARGE SUMS City Health Officer Asks Additional $1,000 and Fire De- . partment Is Aiso Broke Discuss New Crematory. . From semi-annual reports of . the beads of various departments of the city government made at a meeting of the mayor's cabinet this morning it is evident that funds in the variou departments will run so far short that new appropriations will have to be made, or funds transferred in the various departments or from one department to another. In the report of City Controller E. G. McMahan is shown that of the $2,000 set aside' for the miscellaneous fund of the fire department, $1,732.70 has already been spent. The chief item was the purchase of 900 feet of hose at $1 a foot. However, the old hose was sold to the street department and no credit given and this will come to a considerable amount, It is said. $1,300 was appropriated for feed for the year and already $778 has been spent. The coal appropriation of $450 will fall short about half, it Is believed. Sixty-five tons wiirhe used In the city fire engine houses and the public buildings will take 165 tons. The total cost of coal for 1910 will he $675, to which must be added $147.45 for coal bought rlntfiespHng, as not enough was ordered last year.' This makes the total coal bill $822.45 or $372.45 In excess of the appropriation. Health Officer Needs $1,000. Dr. T. H. Davis, city health officer, stated that he needed an appropriation of $1,000 for his department for the remaining six months of the year. $600 was appropriated and $505 has already been expended. However, Dr. Davis is anxious that the public should not think the department is spending more than its share of money. During the Schillinger administration, Dr. Davis stated the original appropriation was $600 and additional appropriations of $2,000 and $1,000 were made, making the total $3,600. In the public p'ark appropriation, $1,200 was the estimate, and in the fund $90.40 remains. This is the miscellaneous fund and includes coal, feed, farming implements and other supplies: The expenditure for farming Implements was heavy because a tract of land until recently leased by the E. G. Hill greenhouse is now being tilled by the park employes. A team of horses was also purchased. In the street department, the miscellaneous fund of $1,200 has entirely been spent, while the sundry fund of $1,000 has not been touched. City Clerk Baltz Bescher gives as a reason for this that certain expenses were taken from the miscellaneous fund that should have come from the sundry fund. The matter of transferring funds will be taken up by the city attorney, A. M. Gardner. According to City Controller McMahan. it Is too early to state whether or not the appropriations running short will be balanced up by those for which over-appropriations have been made. Sanitary Conditions. Aside from financial conditions, a number of recommendations of the heads of departments were discussed by the board today. According to Henry Schurb, sanitary inspector, and Health Officer Davis, sanitary conditions are extremely bad in certain sections of Richmond, hut will receive immediate attention. Dr. Davis suggested that during July and August, at which time the garbage department has great difficulty In keeping the alleys cleared, a one-horse express wagon be rented to answer all complaints of filthy alleys and clean them up at once. The plan met with approval and It Is likely some action will be taken later by the board or by council. It also will be necessary, according to Dr. Davis report, to buy a new tank for one of the garbage wagons of the city. It will come to about $40. Need New Crematory. One of the most needed thfnss to promote the sanitary conditions of the city, according to Dr. Davis. Is a new crematory. The present plant Dr. Davis said, is the same that consumed the garbage of the city when Richmond had 12.000 people. From the opinions expressed by the board, the improvement will be made next year. There were other reports by John Taylor, market master, L A. Gormon. superintendent of police, Ed Hollarn, (Continued on Page Eight)

TO SPEND $51,000 ON NATIONAL ROAD County Commissioners Let the contract for Improvement in Wayne Township. HEAVY BURDEN OF TAXES RECONSTRUCTION OF HIGHWAY WILL INCREASERATC IN THIS TOWNSHIP TO $4.00 ON EACH $1,0C0. Bids for the improvement of the National Road in Wayne township were opened today by the county commissioners and the contract will be awarded to John F. Cronin and Company of this city. The total amount of his bid was $54,559 which was $82 less than that submitted by Philip Hipskind and Son, of Rushville. Work on the improvement probably will not be started before next spring The contract is so largo that it would be an impossibility to comp'lttc the work this year and rather than have the street in a torn up condition during the winter months, none of the construction work will be done this fall. Although the contract only calls for an expenditure of approximately $54,500, there will be other incidentals which will make the total expenditure amount to about $57,000. The ccst will be covered by a bond issue, and as yet it Is not known what, the siza of the Issue will be, but the county commissioners have determined to pay only four and a half per cent on the bonds. While the matter so far is in the hands of the county officials. Wayne township alone will have to meet the cost, thus greatly increasing the tax in Wayne township. . Although it is not known whaf Increase will be necessary, it is understood that it will be approximately $4 on every $1,000 of taxables. ' ' Among the county officials today It was stated that the bond issue would be about $52,000. . Tills will cover the amount to be paid, the contractor by the township. It is thought that the bonds will run for ten years and be in series of twenties, series falling due in periods of two, four, six, eight and ten years. Each bond probably will be for $500. It is not thought by the officials that any difficulty will be ex-j perienced in the sale of the bonds. Three Bids Submitted. There were but three bids submit-! ted for the contract Hipskind and Son bid $52,200 for the construction work and 21 cents extra per square yard of travia binder with which the road will be surfaced. Cronln's bid was for $52,000 with $1 extra per lineal foot for tarvia binder. Dan Lyst and Company, of Anderson, bid $52.566 for the construction work and $1 extra per lineal foot for tarvia binder. This company also agreed to allow $100 for old steel bridges which would reduce Its bid to $55,466 on the construction work. There are 2.557 lineal feet to be surfaced with tarvia binder. This made Cronln's bid total $54,559 while Hipskind and Son's bid amounted to $54,639. ; Attorney Wilfred Jessup. representing Vernon D. Grave and fire hundred others who petitioned for the improvement went to Indianapolis this afternoon with John Cronin to arrange the details of the contract The Terre (Continued on Page Eight)

GREAT CROWDS SLEEP ON THE OPEN BEACHES Seventy-five Thousand Men, Women and Children Spend Night at Coney IslandMany Deaths by Drowning. Nw York, Juluy ll.eventy-flva thousand men, women and children, fagged out by the hot wave, slept on the sands of Coney Island last night. When dawn came bringing the prospect of another scorching day, fully half a million people were sleeping In the open In Greater New York. The tenement district fire escapes and roofs were crowded; every park had its, full quota, and the great bridges of the East river were lined with thousands craving a bit of air. The prospects this morning were for another day as severe as yesterday when in all the sweltering east mors than thirty were killed by heat and thirty persons were drowned. In spite of the sudden drop in the temperature last evening the outlook in Philadelphia this morning, accord" ing to the weather bureau reports from there, was for a day at least equaling yesterday when thirteen perished from heat three more than died from the same cause in Greater New York. Half Million at Coney. A good percentage of the 500,000 .people who crowded Coney Island yesterday remained through the night At fully half the maximum crowd was still at the beach, and of those who tried to get away, thousands were kept till dawn by the congestion oXtranspuruLiiou systems, - . ' More than ;; seventy-five thousand, however, made their beds on' th beach, with no thought nf sta.rtinar in leave until the sun was well above the horizon. Moisture Causes Heat The humidity hung In a blue mist almost as thick as fog In the early morning and the ambulances weije fly ing through the streets before the heat was well started. The hospitals were prepared to outdo their work of yesterday, when more than a score of serious prostrations and many of less Importance were handled. The belief of the physicians of the ambulance service, has-' ed on the experience of many hot spells that today would bring a longer roster than any of . the four previous scorchers of this heat wave, unless there were a decided drop In the thermometer. The promise of relief for New York and New England by nightfall In the way of a cool spell coming from' the west brought a ray of hope. Report of Casualties.
