The couple lived together two months and because the wife persisted In going to aee Shute and permitting him to ice her, they parted. Shute, it it alleged cursed Eadler on several occasions before this separation. Not Ions ago Kadler had a talk with Shute when he told him that, as he had caused Eadler's separation from his wife, he must take the woman and. provide a good home for her. raaier saia ne intended to get a divorce, as he would have nothing more to do with the woman. Testimony showed that so anxious was Mrs. Eadler to see Shute that she even went to Eighth and Main streets and watted for the car on which he was motorman and then took long rides with him. She would sit In the front part of the ear and talk to Shute while he was driving the car. On the day of the assault Kadler boarded a car at Eighth and Main streets and went to the end of the Kasthaven line with Shute. They had some words on the Journey to Kasthaven and there were some threats made by both men. When the car approached Wood avenue on the return trip, It is alleged Shute began cursing Eadler. Kadler left the ear. but Shut grabbed a heavy piece of iron and calling him a vile name dared him back. Eadler returned, grabbed the controller brake and struck Shute He also had a broken navy pistol, which he "poked right under my nose," 8hute exclaimed. John Fee, a negro coal driver, who happened to be passing at the time testified that Kadler drew a gun on him and ordered him to "keep moving." He said he mistook Kadler for "an escaped maniac from Kasthaven, for he was frothing at the mouth." SCHOOL CHILDREN HURT IN A PANIC CAmerlran News Service) llolyoke. Mass., Dec. 13.

(Palladium Special) Indianapolis, Ind., Dec. 13. Eight women convicts converted into housewives is alone almost sufficient justification for Indiana prison methods, In the opinion of Amos W. Butler, secretary of the Board of State Charities. Mr. Butler's annual report which haa just been submitted to Governor Marshall shows that of the fourteen women now on parole from the woman's prison only six are earning wages, the remainder being In their own homes. But this is only one of the remarkable features of tho report. It Bhows that since the indeterminate sentence law went into effect 5.513 men and 175 women have been paroled and of this number only 26 per cent have proved delinquent during their parole period. Not only havo a majority of the paroled women become mistresses of homes but most of the men have been transformed into useful members of soclty. The report sets forth that the paroled prisoners have earned for themselves the aggregate sum of $1,540,310.55, while they were under supervision on parole. During that time they expended $1,266,180.86. leaving a saving of $274,129.89. These figures are considered all the more striking when it is remembered that many of the pisoners before their incarcration were not regarded as earning to saving members of society. In regard to the results of the operation of the indeterminate sentence law. Mr. Butler says in his report: "The indeterminate sentence law has not only been a great encouragement to those who have gone out and a help to those who have proven true to the trust Imposed in them, but it has also been of great assistance in the administration of prisons operating under it. The improvement on administration, discipline and conditions has been as great as has been the better showing In results. It has been demonstrated again and again that the indeterminate sentence and parole laws can be administered under the merit system only and that where Institutions are conducted on the 'spoils system there is failure."

People in Western Part of ;

Wayne County Now Posi tive the Outlaws Reside in Their Neighborhood. NOT LEAST CLUE TO MOST RECENT CRIME Pinkerton Men Working on Milton Bank Robbery May Begin Work on Solving Cambridge Burglary. (Palladium Special) Cambridge City, Dec. 15. While aroused over the. three recent daring robberies, two of which were at Milton and one here, and all within four days time, residents here are not greatly surprised and many believe they are the work of a gang credited r:ith the murder of Joseph Lucy several years ago, and a number of other depredations. No evidence sufficient to warrant any arrests has been discovered and people here are beginning to believe that no arrests will be made. In the first place the robbers left only the slightest clues, if any at all. So often have local people been brought to realize how completely they are at the mercy of members of this alleged gang that many now believe the best way to apprehend its members is employ Pinkerton detectives, who might be clever enough to secure membership in the gang, if one exists, collect evidence and send the thugs to the penitentiary. Drischel Is Mystified. Marshal Dan Drischel In a conversa tion with Sheriff Meredith over the long distance phone on Thursday said that what additional Information he had received he could not divulge over the phone. However, he added, the information he had, he did not believe to be sufficient to make any arrests. '. Besides, the marshal, two Pinkerton detectives are working on the robbery of the FarraersTiank at Milton. It is understood that they are employed by the bank insurance company. Inasmuch as it seems certain that those committing the robbery on the F. M. Jones and Company's store at Milton and the Dr. W. A. Johnson drug store in Cambridge City were implicated in the bank robbery. It is probable the detectives may work on these two smaller robberies in hopes of discovering evidence which would lead to the arrest of the bank robbers. Dr. Johnson stated today the robbers did not blow the safe in his store but opened it by means of a skeleton key. His loss. In excess of insurance which amounts to $1,800, will be between $800 and $900. "I have absolutely no idea who robbed my safe and burned the building," he said today. HUNTED GAME Oil STATE PRESERVE And Ira Simmons Has Been Arrested, but He Will Contest the Action. Accepting an invitation from George Moore, a well to do farmer of Dalton township to spend a few days at his home hunting, Ira Simmons of this" city, a former neighbor of Moore visited the Moore place and is now facing prosecution for alleged violation of the state laws, relative to hunting on a state game and fish preserve. Simmons was arrested on Wednesday in Muncie by Constable Crump, returned to this city and released on a $100 bond. His case will come up in the Irst week in January in the court of 'Squire Abbott. The charge is filed by John J. Bravy connected with the state fish and game department, and it alleges that Simmons hunted on a preserve in Dalton township on November 16. Although Simmons admits hunting on the place he will fight the case and make it a test one to . determine whether or not a person is liable for hunting on a preserve which he does not know the existence of, nor which is generally known in the community to be a game preserve. In all probability the question will be established in the trial whether the alleged game is a preserve as lxed under the statutes. The action is the first of its kind in the county if not In the state. The game wardens have been very active . during the fall in all parts of th state and many arrests have been made for alleged violations of nearly all features of the game laws. TWO NOMINATIONS ARE REPORTED ON (American News Service) Washington, Dec 15. The senate judiciary committee today reported favorably on the nominations of associate justices Vanderventer and Lamar for the supreme court.
