UNION LEADERS DENY STRIKING; ASK FOR TERMS

"Union carpenters of this city are not out on strike. We Lave all quit Work pending the result of an effort to enter into an agreement with the carpenter contractors, which we have never had," said Thomas Higgs, a number of the conference committee cf the union, today. "A strike is when members of a union organization break a contract with their employers by refusing to work under the terms of the contract. We union carpenters have never had contracts with carpenter contractors. What we want now is a working agreement. We do not even insist that contractors enter into written agreements with the union. All we ask for is that each contractor enter into a verbal agreement concerning wages and working conditions. "For some reason or other the contractors as a body have refused to deal with the union as a body, possibly because they do not want to recognize the union. Now we are dealing with the contractors as individuals and as ;oon as any contractor enters into a satisfactory verbal agreement with the union our members are at liberty to ctcept employment from him." Mr. Higgs stated there were about i venty-five carpenter contractors in trie city and he said satisfactory progress had been made in entering into agreements with them, although he refused to state at this time how n:uny contractors had entered into ::ch agreements. 'I think the union will be able to make satisfactory arrangements with every contractor in the city within ::. short time," Mr. Higgs added.

CHICAGO ORGANIZES CORPS OF DOCTORS

CHICAGO, May 6 Plans for the organization of a medical corps in Chicago, to go' to the front in the European war, were under way today under the direction of Dr. John B. Murphy, who is acting under instructions from the British government. The unit will include thirty-two doctors and seventy-four nurses. After leaving America within about five weeks the corps will be under the active charge of Dr. James M. Neff, who will be given a commission as a lieutenant colonel in the English army. Two other doctors will have the same rank, six will be majors and the remainder will rank as captains and lieutenants. 5 Dr. Murphy said today that several Chicago surgeons have volunteered to

go with the' unit, leaving lucrative practices in Chicago to take up the work of army surgc-jus.

LEAVENWORTH. May 6 Mrs. Donn M. Roberts, wife of the former mayor of Terre Haute who now is serving six years in the federal prison here for his part in the election conspiracy visited her husband this morning. The object she said was to give aid to tlie lawyers who in the near future will attempt to secure the release of Roberts and El Redman on a writ of habeas corpus. She was met by Frank Fippen, an attorney from Terre Haute. The conference with her husband lasted almost an hour. It is understood the habeas corpus action will be taken on the ground that the federal law is void because it interferes with the right of a state to conduct its own election. It will also be alleged that the indictments were not properly drawn and that the trial before Judge Anderson was irregular throughout.

ilASTLY JOKE GETS

WOMAN INTO COURT

CHICAGO, May 6 Mrs. Lillian Barbell's somewhat ghastly sense of hui".or got her into the morals court. Lillian, while entertaining Kitty r.arnes and May Sloane had a caller, ; ugust Carlson. August is observant. II? had no sooner met Lillian than he . . id: "Why you're a dead ringer for Holla Gunness." "Who. me?" queried Lillian in tth off J .-iiid way. "Why, I am Belle Gun-11'-ss." August felt his hair begin to rise, lie grabbed his hat and said goodnight. A few minutes later a much dishevH'd find winded man leaned against ilj de;;k of the East Chicago Avenue police station. It was August. "I have found Belle Gunness," he ,-pfd. Detectives went out and arrested ! iilian. Kitty and May. All three ap-i'-ared before Judge Heap, who continued their cases for furthfr investigation. Belle Gunness is still missrhg.

SUSPEND INSPECTORS

WASHINGTON, May 6. An order issued by .the secretary of treasury today suspends for 00 days D. H. Alexander of Tipton, Indiana, and C. J. Miliron of Pasadena, employes in the internal revenue division. They preferred charges against J. O. Lambert of Middletowji, Ohio, chief of a coipora-

I tion tax division and against the assist- : ant chief of the internal revenue bu- ! reau alleging there was laxity in the ! administration of the corporation tax law. A committee conducted an investigation and recommended the dismisI sal of both Alexander and Miliron. i .

BRIBE TAKERS PLEAD

ROUT RUSS ARMY.

BRAZIL, lnd May 6. Six men, four of them from Indianapolis, pleaded guilty here today to bribe taking, or of presenting fraudulent claims and wers fined $10 and sentenced to serve from 2 to 14 years in state prison. These tines and sentences were subsequently suspended on the recommendation of Gov. Ralston, members of the state board of accounts and the prosecutor. The total discrepancies of all the defendants amounts to $13,185 which will be paid back.

VIENNA, May 6 The Austro-Ger-man forces have already taken more than Srt.OCO Russian prisoners and the .;umber is still growing. Seven hundred more prisoners were taken on the eastern slope of the Carpathians. The immediate annihilation of the entire third Russian army is predicted.

BOMBARD DUNKIRK

DOVER, May 6 Heavy firing in the direction of Dunkirk could be heard from the Channel today. It is believed the Germans were again bombarding that city.

SYRACUSE, N. Y., May 6. Colonel Roosevelt was not allowed to go into Albany city and county affairs in defending his libel suit. Justice Andrews ruled that the Roosevelt statement attacked Barnes as a state boss and city and county evidence must, be immaterial. The Colonel then took the stand for cross-examination by William Ivans. Checks and ledgers of the Albany Journal company from 1001 to April SO, 1913, were put in evidence. William J. Nusbaum, public accountant of Albany, identified and read check stubs showing many payments of dividends payable to William Barnes and countersigned by him. A stipulation was agreed upon conceding that on certain dates the Argus and Lyons companies made payments to the Journal company. Mr. Ivins declined to agree to stipulation that the Journal company made payments to the Argus and Lyons companies. "I will not agree to that," said Ivins. "I will not agree to anything with the gentlemen who are taking unfair advantage of our books." "We are taking no unfair advantage," Bowers retorted. "You are doing it right now in the other room," said Ivins. Bowers said he would produce the books if Ivins would not agree to the stipulation.

BLOCKADER KILLS THREE PERSO

RALEIGH, W. Va., May 6 News has just reached here from Andrews in Cherokee county stating that Ed Williams a notorious blockader of Graham county, shot and killed the wife, son, and daughter of P. L. Phillips last Saturday. Mr. Phillips has offered a reward of $300 for the capture of Williams and has asked the governor to add $300 more. The governor added $200 making a reward of $500 for the murderer's capture.

NULLIFIES SLAVE LAW!

MILWAUKEE, Wis.. May 6. The decision of Judge Geiger that niav-1 riage nullifies violation of the wliiiej slave law is believed to mean the ac-j quittal of James M. Darnell the marry-1

ing parson, due for trial May 11. Under Judge Geiger's ruling Darnell can go tree if he can prove he was married at any time to Ruth Soper, the Minnesota girl, w ho pc d as his wife in Kenosha and at Owatonna and who claims she was married at Hammond. Though the Hammond marriage is illegal according to Wisconsin law the presentation of her as his wife at Kenosha constitutes a common law marriage.

He was in company with a former American deputy consul at Berne, Switzerland, against whom espionage was suspected.

Moving info a Pew House Does the Old Furniture Fit In The best laid plans often go wrong when you move. Furniture that you thought would serve won't do at all. Carpets don't harmonize, curtains don't fit and all in all you find there are many new things to buy for the new home that the furnishings of the old one do not provide for. At the best the furniture you have "fits in" perhaps only just "passably fair." Likewise moving into another house. NEW SURROUNDINGS NECESSITATE NEW THINGS This store has been assisting folks on "moving day" for many, many years with good furniture and furnishings for the home. Its experience is valuable to you who are changing about. And this spring the stocks are better and in greater variety than ever before.
