TEMPERATE REPORT . GIVEN JOJVORKERS Labor's "Red Book" on Last Legislature Applies Whitewash Considerably.
Musica Family, Which Stole $1,500,000, Being Token From Prison
(National New Association) INDIANAPOLIS, April 3 Some things which the recent legislature did for labor and many things which It refused to do are set forth in the Red Book Issued yesterday by the state legislative board of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen. The ton of the report Is extremely temperate, but it suggests names of certain legislators to be considered by wage-earners as hostile to labor interests. It also names men of the legislature who were especially friendly to labor's cause and lists other legislators who are not to be condemned. It is notable that in the Red Book the list of labor bills defeated is much more impressive than is the brief list of labor bills panned, but the Red Book does not enlarge upon this feature of the situation. In short., there is nothing in the report, made by Fred L. Feick, J W. Gray and William Knowles, to cause complaint among the Democrats who controlled the Legislature and who assumed responsibility for turning down the various bills which were rejected In spite of the urgings of Mr. Feick and his associates. 8ets Out the Facts. The Red Book does not partake of the belligerent and strongly critical tone assumed by labor organization men. at the time their bills were being turned down by the lawmakers. It sets out facts and leaves the voters to draw their own inferences. There is in the report a warning to laboring men that the enactment of the public service commission law and the shifting of the Railroad Commission to new work may leave an opening for violations of the laws by railroad corporations. The report suggests that the laboring men keep watch and report such law violations. Those on the labor champion list of legislators, acording to the Red Book, are Senators Grube, Curtis, Faulknor, Carleton, Traylor, McCormick, Stotsenberg, Aikin and Harmon and Representatives Carter, Franklin, Thornton, Hoddinott, Van Horne, Dunmire, J. P. Davis, Boyer, Fltzer, Koenlg, Masselink, Friend, W. W. Spencer, Duncan, Mitchell, Cunningham, Tingle, Smith, Keegan, Patton, Gardner, Lyday, Branaman, Chapman, Bedwell, Weisman and Perry Davis.

WASHINGTON". Arril 3-Removal of all tariff from raw wool has biea , agreed upon bet een President Wilson and members of the House committee on ways aifd means as th re-' suit of conferences. The present plan which will have the unanimous Indorsement oi the Democratic members of th? committee provides that wool , shall be placed on the free luU an eud for which the free-wool Democrats of the House have fought for two ywars. The wnc.jnsion to President Wilson and the free-wool advocates takes the place of the IS per cent duty wjiich , tiie committee had agrenl upon. This ' in turn, was a reduction from the ! per cent duty of the Democratic woolen revision bill which passed the j
House last summer, but failed to become a law.

SAY ILLNESS MAY FOLLOWTHE FL000 State Health Commissioner Urges Precautionary Measures.
BEGINNING AT HOME. Pertinent Question a Bright Bey Put to a Governor. . The late Governor Larrabee, the 'grand old man"f Iowa, was extremely fond of children. One day while looking over his mill at Turkey River be found an urchin, dirty and ragged, sound asleep near the waterwheel. . The boy was Mickey Burke, son of a poor family In the neighborhood. . The governor asked the boy why he was so dirty and ragged. The boy explained his mother had a large family and had to work hard and could get him no better clothes. "But you can keep clean." exhorted Larrabee. "Yoa could wash your face and hands tf you wanted to. That costs nothing." Mickey said he would try. "Well, said the governor, "now Is the time to begin." He procured a washbasin, some soap and a towel and watched Mickey scrub himself until he shone. Then the governor got Mickey some clothes and dressed him neatly. Mickey looked fine. "Now," eaid Larrabee, "we'll see about getting you a job." lie took Mickey to the store of an Id German of whom the governor was very fond. Mr. Schneider had no place for Mickey. "Bnt you must hare, expostulated Larrabee. "Just look at him and see what a nice boy he Is. He Is e)ean and neat He is a good talker and would make a good clerk. There is no finer boy, Mr. Schneider, than Mickey here." Schneider waa obdurate. He had no place. The governor end' Mickey walked at ef the store, moch disappointed. Aa they reached the sidewalk Mickey turned to his benefactor and asked. "Mr. Larrabee, if I am snch a darned Sue bey as you say why don't you give me tot yourself ?" Saturday EvenJ ..
BY DR. J. N. HURTY State Health Commissioner. Of course, sickness only attends conditions causative of sickness. If, therefore, the flood leaves behind unsanitary conditions, then illness will certainly follow. We must reckon all conditions unsanitary which Induce anxiety, worry and unusual nervous strain, as well as those which increase filth or aid in distributing disease causing germs. Simple inconvenience and hardships If within the breaking point, and if they are met bravely, will increase strength and health. Those whose homes have been washed away and who have lost all their household effects, whose sole possessions left are the clothes they have on their backs, who have no homes and do not know where to look for protection and food, will certainly be excused if they grow nervous, become depressed and sickness overtakes them. The mud left after the flood subsides will not of itself cause sickness. It certainly will give a dreary and repellant cast to everything It covers, but it is simply the earth from the fields and the bottom lands it settles upon will be made richer thereby. The destruction of rats and other vermin will be very great, and this will be a blessing. It appears, therefore, in reviewing the matter that so far as sickness of a general character is concerned we need to seriously consider exposture, hunger, mental depression, with its nervousness and worry; grief over loss of possessions and the present surroundings of the flood victims.
Malaria is inoculated into us by mo
squitoes, and as at this season there are no mosquitoes, this disease need not be feared. Cough, colds, grip and pneumonia are caused y - specific germs which are always found where
foul air exists. All who breathe foul or overused air take there germs in
to their bodies, but only those succumb who are "undertone," and this is how and why the flood sufferers are liable to suffer from coughs, colds, grip and pneumonia. Their physical and mental sufferings will moet likely lessen strength and resistance, and thus cause "undertone." Then if they come into crowded places, where the air is bad, down they will go with some one or even all of the maladies named. To prevent the flood sufferers from having pneumonia and other respiratory troubles we must see to it that the mental and physical shock already experienced is not. supplemented by a second shock of cold, hunger and foul air. In other words, the good people of Muncie must contribute liberally and provide not only food, clothing, and sanitary shelter, but must also do all that may be done to bring mental encouragement and comfort. The flood will not bring intestinal diseases, for they are caused by polluted or poisonous foods and water. If, therefore, the foods supplied are unpolluted, free from decomposition products (ptomaine), and well cooked, and ths water drank is unpolluted, neither typhoid fever nor diarrhoeal diseases will appear. The conclusion is that with reasonable care to avoid the always present causes of pneumonia and other respiratory troubles, and also with reasonable care to avoid the always present causes of typhoid fever and other intestinal trotibles, we need not fear the coincident appearance of sickness with the flood.
44 BIRTHSJN MARCH Exceeded Deaths in City by Eleven.
The monthly reports have been filed by Dr. Davis and show a total of 44 births and 33 deaths. Of the 44 births 27 were females. Of the 33 deaths, only 12 were females. There has been 325 houses carded for measles since January 15, thirtythree houses carded for scarlet fever
and six houses carded for chicken-pox. Of the thirty-three houses carded for scarlet fever, a large majority are in j the last stages of the quarantine. No 1
cases of diphtheria or typhoid have been reported. Indiana is reported to have had 2,418 cases of measles during the month of February.
4 TRUCK LOADS OF PROVISIONS SENT Hamilton Receives Supplies From Here-Dayton Being Cared For.
COMPLETE WORK OF REPAIRING JAIL The inmates of the county jail have completed the work of painting and decorating the interior of the jail. The condition of the jail meets all the sanitary conditions recommended by the board of county charities as well as by grand Juries. The interior has been painted white and the prisoners take great pride in it, according to the officials at the institution. Toe prisoners are endeavoring to make the Wayne county jail the "spotless Jail" of Uie state. There are now 21 men confined there.
Four truck loads of provisions left this city this morning for Hamilton for the alleviation of flood victims. Several automobile loads of foodstuffs were also sent to Dayton this morning. The Jones Hardware' company store room has been made the center for the receiving of provisions for Dayton and the Commercial club rooms for Hamilton. This work will be continued until stores in both cities have been reopened.

THINK RELATIVES HAVEL0ST CHILD Detectives Hunting for Catherine Winters Now Advancing New Theory.
NEWCASTLE, Ind., April 3. That relatives may have kidnapped Catherine Winters, the 9 year old daughter of Dr. W. A. Winters of this city, who has been missing since March 20, was the latest theory being investigated
! today by private detectives. Clues of ifoul play and kidnapping by gypsies
have not developed. The latest theory is that relatives may have kidnapped the child as a result of a family quarrel over a $6,000 legacy from the child's mother to which Catherine and her little brother Frank are equal heirs. Detectives are endeavoring to ascertain the whereabout of a brother of Dr. Winters, who is alleged to have sworn vengeance for grievances against the doctor.

The "Dandy Horse. The father ef the bicycle tribe, the "dandy horse." was invented In 181 S by Baron von Draise of Ptri. It consisted of two wheels about thirty inches in diameter running one In the wake of the other and connected by a beam of wood, upon which, halfway from eaoh end, was a saddle or perch, an arm rest in front completing the machine. It was propelled by kicking the ground with the tight and left foot alternately. It watf from such a crude affair that the modern bicycle was lowly evolved.

Pleases Secretary Bryan. The free-wool agreement it wa said by Democrat, is expected to bring Secretary of State Bryan into full accord with the tariff revision program. The reception that may be given the free wool plan bv the Senate leaders is still a matter of conjecture. Under the existing law wool carries a duty of approximately 11 cnts per pound, or about 60 per cent when figured on the ad valorem basis. It is estimated that the abolition of the duty will cause a loss of approximately 120.000,000 to the present government revenues, but Democratic tariff
leaders say it will bring about a sub-
Btantial reduction in the price of woolen manufactured goods. This reduction and the possible loss of approximately $53,000,000 of revenues, should sugar be placed on the free llbt, would be made up, the Democrats say, by the income tax, the details of which probably will be settled tomorrow by the ways and means committee. Nsw "Wilson Bill." President Wilson is now the master factor in framing the new tariff; be is doing what no President ever did before him. He is rewriting a tariff bill framed by the ways and means com
mittee before it is introduced in Congress. At the White House is a printed copy of the new tariff bill as framed by the ways and means committee. It represents the finished product of that committee. The striking feature about it is that it contains many interlineations in the President's own handwriting. Twentv years apo the tariff measure franud by the Democratic Congress was known as the Wil son bill. The tar-
i iff bill of 1913 is to be iu fact the Wilson bill. To be more explicit it is the ' Wood row Wilson bill. Mind is Fixed. These and kindred questions thPresident has not y t decided absolutely, but from what he told his callers there was a 11 defined impression of his inclinations. The president leans strongly to revision by a single bill. He thinks the income tax question can only be de- ; cidfd after an agreement has been made upon tariff rates. He believes that su;ar should go on the free list, but is open to conviction on the point. ! The president has ben bearing ar- : guuients that people in Louisiana
could readjust their business to meet the new conditions imposed by the riy moval of the tariff on sugar. Tlx. J Colonel Robert Ewing. national committeeman from Louisiana, has been
j presenting the other side of the auesition and when he left the White
House yesterday he had laid the case in full before Mr. Wilson.
