HIDES FROM SCOLDING. LAPORTE, Ind., May 14. Killie Amber, age 7, of Chesterton, disappeared Monday afternoon and was not found until this morning when a party of searchers came upon the child hidden away in a hay loft near Porter. The child said she heard her grandfather scolding and fearful of him, she ran away. For three nights and two days she had gone without food or drink. Hundreds of people had joined in the search for the child. GIRL DRINKS ACID. HARTFORD CITY, Ind., May 14.

The matter of whether Muncie will continue to have saloons in spite of the fact that she voted "dry" last March will be decided by a trial which began in the circuit court this morning.

If the election is upheld, Muncie will be the largest "dry" city in the state. CRASH SHAKES PASSENGERS. buried 4ts nose in an embankment. CONSTITUTIONALISTS FOR GRAND ASSAOLT BY LEASED WIRE PAREDON, State of Coahula, Mex., May 14. With this city as a base, the general Constitutionalist movement ment against Saltillo will begin tomorrow. Twenty-two thousand Constitutionalists are massed at this point, which is just thirty miles north of Saltillo, making it at present the greatest military camp in the Republic. About ten thousand other troops are in the vicinity of Saltillo, annoying the Federal outposts. The fight so far has been at long range, General Villa having given orders that the grand assault be delayed until the entire Constitutionalist army of the north is massed about the city with its artillery. Pursuing his usual tactics, Villa probably will begin the main attack with a fierce bombardment from his siege guns. The charge of the infantry forces probably will be made at night, as was the defeat at Gomez Palacia and Torreon. Thousands of hand grenades have been prepared for hand-to-hand fighting in the streets of Saltillo. Railroads Repaired. A report was made to headquarters today that the repair work on the railroad has finally been completed and that all is in readiness for the first shipment of artilery and ammunition tonight. Villa has enough artillery to fill an entire train of twenty cars, but he has plenty of reserve cars and locomotives so is not worrying about transportation problems. General Villa, following a personal reconnaissance of the Federal position, declared that he expects Saltillo to fall after the siege. "After Saltillo cames Mexico City." This has now become the watchword. Word from the south that Tampico has fallen caused tremendous excitement among the rebels and greatly encouraged them. The ragged Constitutionalist troopers are beginning to think themselves invincible. A report was current that General Huerta was on his way to take personal command of the Federals at Saltillo, but it was not credited. "It is too good to be true,' said Villa. "I only hope that Huerta would come to Saltillo. I woud see to it personally that he be taken prisoner and then I would have him executed in public for the traitor he is." Reports that Villa's army is made up of bandits and this his capture of Mexico City would result in the capital being pillaged, have angered the Constitutionalist commander in chief. "Foreign property would be respected and foreigners would be safe," said Villa. "Our war is against Mexican traitors, and we would not harm any of our fellow countrymen who promised to work for the security of our government. Against Arms Embargo. Villa has asked General Carranza, the provisional president of the Constitutionalists to suggest to President Wilson that the embargo on the transportation of arms across the Rio Grande be lifted. "I would suggest that President Wilson appoint a military commission to

Faulkner, representative of the department of labor, today notified Governor Ralston that the street car mens union of Indianapolis had accepted tne governor's selection for the arbitration board to settle the wage difference between the men and the Indianapolis Traction and Terminal Company. The board of arbitration consists of Thomas Duncan, J. F. McCiure and C. A. Edwards of the public service commission. Robert I. Todd, president of the street car company several days ago notified Governor Ralston that the board was acceptable to him. BURIED IN $900 COFFIN. BROOKVILE, Ind., May 14. Samuel Rose, a farmer, was buried today in a burglar proof coffin that he purchased for himself. The coffin cost him $900, the highest price ever paid for a coffin here. He had the burial box made several years ago. SHIRLEY MARSHAL SHOT. NEW CASTLE, Ind., May 14. Charles Sorrel, town marshal of Shirley, Ind., was shot through the right arm and in the chest today by J. D. Smith, former deputy marshal of the town. The shooting occurred in the street and followed a quarrel of long standing. Sorrel will recover. Smith left town before a deputy sheriff arrived to arrest him, and is at liberty. MASS ARMY OP NORTH ON CITY OF SALTILLO need to fight our way into Mexico City, and then let that much an no more come in," said Villa. "I am sorry I can not talk personally with President Wilson. If I could, I am sure I could persuade him to adopt this course." The Federal garrison at Saltillo is about twelve thousand strong, according to the most authentic reports. The Federals have thrown up barricades about the city and have considerable artillery, but are short of ammunition. NO RECOGNITION FOR MEXICAN REBELS BY LEASED WIRE WASHINGTON, May 14. That the administration has absolutely no intention of recognizing the Constitutionalists at the present time was stated at the white house today. President Wilson has given no indication of a change of attitude on his part, it was stated, and the capture of Tampico has in no way changed the situation. WANT PARTY LINES. CHICAGO, May 14.

MELLEll TELLS ABOUT

HAVEh'3 SLUSH F BY LEASED WIRE WASHINGTON, May 14. That the New York. New Haven and Hartford railroad, through C. S. Miller, gave due bills for stock to mysterious persons and that those persons were directed to place the due bills in the bands of New York officials to obtain a number of changes in the franchise of the New York, Boston and Westchester read, an electric line, were the principal revelations which Governor Folk, chief counsel for te Interstate commerce commission, declared he had gleaned from today's examination of Mr. Mellen. "These aue bills constituted a sort of slush fund." said Governor Folk, "with which It was hoped to corrupt New York city officials. The New Haven wanted thirteen changes made in the Westchester railroad franchise before taking over the road, and it took this means to get them. I have ! evidence to prove that the changes were arranged for and that even certain judicial judicial decisions to remove obstacles in the path m ay of the changes were all arranged for in advance. Mr. Mellen gave the due bills, which were handled by east-side go-betweens and subsequently turned up in the hands of the higher-ups. .It ! was not expected that these officials i would cash them themselves. The ' cashing-in would naturally be done by the go-betweens." Tells of Purchases. Governor Folk questioned Mr. Mellen regarding the expansion of the New Haven system. Mellen testified ! that when he took charge of the road ' he found it had been acquiring outside interests for about a year, par-: ticularly trolley and steamship inter-! ests. Mellen stated that this policy of ' expansion continued during his terra, ! and that he was in accord with it. He said the acquisition of the Central NewEngland Railway was the first step in accordance with this oolicv. Disregarding protests by Attorney ; General McReynolds, Solicitor Folk called Mellen as a witness in the investigation. The attorney general objected to his being called, fearing that I counsel for Mellen would claim an "immunity bath" if crimipal proceedings were instituted against him. Every pressure possible was brought j to bear on Mr. Folk, but he stood firm in his demand that the "whole truth about the New Haven" be bared.

It is being demonstrated daily by Chiropractors that the secret of health lies in the Perfection of the Spine. Disease readily establishes itself in any part of the body when the nerves become unable to carry the normal amount of energy from the brain to the part. In the large majority of cases, the physical sense of disease is a mechanical pressure on the nerve as it passes out between the bones of the spinal column. The trained and educated hand of a Chiropractor alone can find the pressure-point in the spine, and by a quick, skillful movement, adjust the displaced bone, and thus re-establish the flow of nerve energy and health. Every Chronic Disease Is the result of an abnormal spine. By examining the spine the cause of any chronic disease or weakness can be located; pains about the head, face, eyes, neck, back or limbs; diseases of the brain, lungs, heart, stomach, liver, kidneys, bowels or special organs of sex; lowered vitality, irritability, insomnia and inability to think or work, are some of the conditions where Chiropractic Adjustments remove the cause. I do not treat or cure. I remove the Cause, Nature Cures. Investigation costs nothing and may mean your health and happiness. J. C. BOCKMAN, CHIROPRACTOR. Knollenberg's Annex. Phone 1868.
