REPUBLICANS SAVE ; THE JACKSON ACT Bill to Prevent "The Law's Delay" Started a Merry Row in the House.

(Palladium special) Indianapolis, Feb. 21. Senator Jackton's bill to prevent 'the law's delay" was aaved from death in the house Thursday by two Republican rotes, Bed good and Van Home, in a roll call which ended in a merry row In which charges of a serious nature vera hurled at Representative Cravens, speaker pro tern, who apparently replied by telling his accusers to Bit down and behave, and then proceeding with the bill, although the members did neither nit down nor befcave. Incidentally,-the bill called to the lioiiho all the corporation '.awyerB that could get In and aroused bitter discussion and denunciation of corporation Influences. Members became engaged In personal debates acrosB the desks and for a time the house assumed the aspect of a meeting between the Ancient Order of Hibernians und Orangemen. Every fellow who stuck up his head received a whack and sometime! more, if he didn't quickly duck. In the thick of the fight, welldlng a resounding shlllelah in Whalf of tho peoplo waa Speaker Vcneman. who took tho floor In order 10 rough it; There were no preliminary In nits. It Just broke out like a house afire when a motion was made by Speaker Veneman to table the minority; report recommending the Indefinite postponement of the bill. The roll rail was demanded and It was nip nd tuck to the end when It showed Venman's motion was lost by a vote f-4l to i7. The absentees were demanded and on the second round-up Hedgood and Vanllorne voted with Veneman switching the voto to 47 to 40 In favor of tabling the minority report. The vote was handed to Cravens, speaker pro tern, who announced It. Roll Call Incorrect. Rev. Vanllorne then offered an amendment and it had been read, when Representative Wise jumped to tils feet with the assertion that he had been to the clerk's desk and examined the roll call and it had not been correctly announced by Cravens. He claimed the voto was 46 to 41 In favor of the minority report for indefinite postponement. "I demand a verification of the roll call." Wise shouted as he stood white with anger at his desk. "I announced the result at 47 to 46, nd that Is right and that Is the way It will stand," answered Cravens, "besides the gentleman Is out of order as It is too late to demand a verification of the . vote." Whereupon to cmphaslio his remarks Cravens tried to break Speaker Veneman's maul over the back of the speaker's desk. At this home-like Imitation of his namesako "1'ncle Joe," Beveral members were on tho floor waving their arms and shouting diverse things at Representative Cravens. Cravens ordered them all to be seated and they all unanimously refused. Representative Grelger pointed his Automatic double-barrelled finger at the speaker pro tern, and said he could produce a man who had voted and had not been recorded, and Representative Oglebay was given the spot light nd labelled "exhibit A." Cravens refused to admit the testimony and ordered Grelger to sit down at once. Hut there was no room for any member of the legislature to sit down because of so many lawyer-lobbyists and Grelger merely subsided, and the debate waxed warmer. In their ardor the lawyers let out some professional secrets which rather took the edge off the enjoyment of the other members. For Instance Speaker Veneman, who left the chair to speak for the bill, said that the reports of the Indiana supreme and appellate courts will show that fully fifty per cent, of their cases are tried on technical points Instead of their merits. His argument was that the till In question would tend to prevent lawyers from taking advantage of the technicalities and afford litigants a better opportunity to obtain Justice. Corporations Exercised. Representative Spencer in supporting the bill declared that corporations are greatly exercised because of the efforts to do away with some of the legal technicalities by means of which they are enabled to drag their cases through the courts and wear out poorer litigants. Representative Furls, said he opposed the measure as a lawcr but as a citizen he was compelled to support It because It would result In law suits being decided on their merits. Representatives McMullen and White, who with Representative Smith signed the minority report to kill the Mil led the fight against it on the floor, ably assisted by Representative Wise. They argued that it would complicate litigation Instead ot simplifying it. Representative Keegan. the only layman who ventured into the discussion said In explaining his vote that, the lawyers and judges, with whom he talked, who were not under corporation Influence said the measuro should be passed. Those who voted to lay the minority report on the table and save the bill were Askren. Ault, Pedgood. Itillman, Reunnagel. Carter, Clore, Cook, Corr, Cravens, Farls, Faulk nor, FlUer, Foor, Galbralth. Glfford. Grimmer, Hammond, Hedrlck, Keegan, McGinnis, McKennan. Maddox, Massellnk.

After amendments strengthening the bill, submitted by Representatives Merriman, Vanllorne and McGinnis, had been adopted McMullen made a final effort to put It out of existence by moving to strike out the enacting clause. Again the measure was saved by one vote, the roll call showing the same number for and against it as on tho first test. The bill was then parsed to third reading and its enemies are now laying for it when it comes up for final passage. ANDERSON BLIND TIGER CAPTURED Anderson, Ind., Feb. 24. Lee H. Kuhns, a local agent for the Indianapolls Brewing company, and his wagon driver. Warren Bloom, were arrested following the arrest of William Wise, keeper of a social club. All are charged with the Illegal sale of liquor. At the club conducted by Wise the police found a saloon in operation. Business was being conducted as an ordinary saloon, with keg beer on tap, and it was sold by the glass over the bar. The police confiscated the beer and arrested Wise, who admitted, when taken to headquarters, that the charge against him was correct. However, he has not yet been arraigned for trial. On the keg of beer the police found the label. "From David Fessler to L. II. Kuhns." Fessler is understood to be a liquor dealer at Indianapolis, and It is supposer he sent the beer to Kuhns. Bloom delivered the keg of beer yesterday. All the men arrested gave bond and they will probably be arraigned tomorrow for trial. Nothing but Profit. "We profit by our mistakes.

STATE CAPITAL TO GET BIG WAR SHOW Washington. Feb. 24. It Is pretty certain that Indianapolis will be selected as the place for holding the proposed military tournament this summer, if such an encampment is held in the middle west. Acting secretary of war Robert Shaw Oliver notified Representative Korbly, of the Seventh district, that it was not at all certain that the department of the lakes will hold prolonged maneuvers this year, but that if such tournament is held Indianapolis will receive the careful consideration of the war department officials. The whole thing hinges on the amount set aside for the transportation of the army which is embodied in the army appropriation bill now in conference. As a large Bum is set aside for the transportation of troops next year and part of that sum will be available for financing the proposed tournament in Indianapolis, it is likely that if the bill goes through the conference without further pruning, that the Indiana city will land the encampment. Under the present policy of the department point maneuvers are held every other year. The proposed tournament differs in many respects from the joint maneuvers held at Ft. Benjamin Harrison every other year. The tournament for the department of the lakes was held at Chicago last summer, and that city wants it again this year. An American cosul, Julian H. Arnold, traveled several months in Western China last summer. He stopped at eighty native inns and never did he experience the least uncivility or unfriendly treatment.

Does Not Strain the Eyes Don't use a small, concentrated light over one shoulder. It puts an unequal strain on your eyes. Use diffused, soft, mellow light that cannot flicker, that equalizes the work of the eyes, such as the Kayo Lamp gives, and avoid eye strain. The Rayo is designed to give the best light, and it does. It has a strong, durable shade-holder that Is held firm and true. A new burner gives added strength. Made of solid brass and finished in nickel. Easy to keep polished.

TALKED OVER WAGES

PAID TO CLERKS Employers Have Different Opinions, Some Believ- ' ing $1,000 Enough. Chicago, Feb. 24. Is 1,000 a year a sufficient wage for the average clerk? John V. Farwell says it is. Some employers agree with him. Others do not. A number are uncertain. Tho "average clerk," of course, places himself on record with a vigorous negative. Mr. Farwell's statement was made in connection with a recent series of articles having to do with the apparent wastage of more than four million five hundred thousand dollars in city salaries annually. Commenting along this lines, Mr. Farwell averred his belief that city employes should receive a little more money than the employes of private corporations and corroberated the statement of Walter H. Wilson, city controllpr, that the wage of clerks in ihe city hall is higher than that in a mercantile house. Then he added: "My idea is that $1,000 a year is sufficient for the average clerk. "Pro and con" discussion of this statement has since been heard from various employers and employes and letters have ; been received from a number of the latter. Here, summarized in one word each, are the answers received in reply to the question which heads the column: "Yes!" "No!" "Maybe!" Not Enough, Says Stevens. Charles A. Stevens, president of Charles A. Stevens & Bros., thinks the sum mentioned hardly sufficient. "I believe $1,000 a year is all right as a temporary salary, said Mr. Stevens, "but hardly as a permanent wage for a clerk. It would be a good point for a young man, starting low, to aim at, but he would certainly expect to pass it ultimately and climb higher.." "Even if he remained a clerk, doing the same work as when he was receiving the same salary?" Mr. Stevens was asked. "Well, I believe that his work could be so adjusted," was the reply, "that he could earn more money even in a clerkship. If an office is properly systematized so that every man's work represents the maximum of his effort the employes ought to get more money." Angus S. Hubbard Talks. Angus II. Ilibbard, general manager of the Chicago Telephone company, explained that the question would hardly apply to employes of that concern. "We don't have average clerks in the first place," said Mr. Hibbard. "The wage matter with us narrows down to a question of individual efficiency and the men are paid according to the value produced by their work." "If a man accomplishes more than a day's work he is paid for it," he concluded "In other words, we pay our employes according to their personal ability and the stipend varies in the case of each as a rule." E. M. Barton Has Similar Ideas. E. M. Barton, chairman of the board of directors of the Western Electric company, expressed himself along similar lines. "Our plan," he said, "Is to take a young man as clerk who is a beginner. We then promote him as he deserves. His ultimate salary depends on the length of time he has been with us and the excellence of his work during that time. In this connection, however, I wouldn't care to express

myself in figures. The question is not an easy one to answer." From the Clerk's Viewpoint. A former clerk in a large retail establishment who has given the wage

problem considerable thought for a number of personal reasons, not the least of which are a wife and child, had this to say in favor of a higher wage : "The sum suggested is decidedly too low. I'll tell you some facts and give you some surprising figures. It takes about $4,000 to bring up a child to the age of ten years so there, a3 my wife might say And the average married clerk has four or five children in nine or ten years so there again. The first year of the child's life sees ibout $800 take wings; this is in the vay of doctor bills, nurses fees and such like expenses. "The next three or four years may Fee a decrease in expenses of this ort, as the average child will during these years bo comapritively free from disease," the clerk went' on.. "The ordinary expenses, however, go right on. These include clothing, food and fuel, not to mention light and a little pleasure once in awhile. Everything costs money. "After the fourth year, though, up goes expenses again. If it's a girl, clothes by the bushel must be procured and so on and so forth. All on a thousand per? In a great many cases, yes. But ever and anon, in the far distance, if you listen closely, you will bear the howling of the wolf as he approaches your door." Another Phaze Analyzed. Another clerk this one employed by a retail mercantile house analyzes another phaze of the situation just as closely. "Pay the clerk a small salary say $1,000 a year and you hit the whole community," he wrote. "How? Like this: The grocer, the butcher, the small tradesman numbers among his customers the average clerk, because the average clerk lives in these neighborhoods where the tradesmen are necessarily small. Neither tradesmen nor clerk can help living there, much as they would like, doubtless, to inhabit a mansion on the Lake Shore drive. "All right. The clerk can not make both ends meet. He can not purchase goods in any quantity from the grocer or the butcher and the small "I Suffered Years With My Back." Backache resulting from weak kidneys, a bad cold or other cause, usually renders the sufferer unfit for work and often results in permanent disability. "I suffered for years with my back, or kidney trouble, and have tried a number of remedies from different physicians. More than a year ago, one of our local druggists induced me to try Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills and after using them some three months I found a decided improve- , ment in my kidneys, and I am glad to say that I hope soon to be fully restored to health." J. P. Allen, Ex-Judge City Court, Glasgow, Ky. As long as pain is present in any part of the body rest is impossible and the system becoming weakened Is exposed to any form of disease to which the sufferer may be inclined. Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills by steadying the irritated nerve centers, make refreshing sleep possible, thereby enabling the body to recover lost strength. As a remedy for pain of any description Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills are unsurpassed. Sold by all druggists under a guarantee assuring the return of tho price of tho first box If no benefit results.

tradesman. Result? The grocer and the butcher and the small tradesman do not make enough themselves to live properly and can not deposit their little savings in their favorite bank. Result? Less money for the banker. And so on up! It's a sort of endless chain affair, you see. Everybody gets it where the bottle gets the cork in the neck. But particularly the man who is first hit the average clerk. "The necessities of life cost the clerk just as much as they cost the employer, yet he has less money to pay for them. I believe many employers realize this and do their best by their men. I believe, on the other band, that many employers don't give t hang whether their clerks live on tmospheric pie or the real thing. As i matter of fact, $1,000 a year is a -rincely wage to some that are paid ight here in Chicago, but I do not insider It sufficient."

BROCK SERVING 9 YEARS WANTS OUT (Palladium Special) Eaton. O., Feb. 24. Perry Brock, now in the Ohio penitentiary, has made application for pardon from that institution. Brock was sentenced for nine years having been convicted of manslaughter and sentenced during the October term of the Preble county common pleas court in 1907. Brock's victim was his nephew, Owen Brock, a minor. With a couple of women the Brocks had been in camp south of Lewisburg along Twin creek. A quarrel took place between them and the elder Brock in his rage thrust a knife into his nephew, who died later.
