STEALS MONEY FROM CONVICT IN HIS HANDS

Walter Johnson, colored, a paroled prisoner from Jeffersonville reformatory told the police yesterday after noon how he had been defrauded by the man he had been paroled to by a reformatory parole officer. Chief Goodwin investigated and found : the boy had told the truth. "Mighty loose work on the part of the parole officer to turn Johnson over to a man 60 unscrupulous as to steal from the unfortunate boy the state had intrusted to his protection," remarked the chief. Johnson and another colored boy were paroled some time ago to a local hotel. Johnson's companion got on a drunk and the parole officer was sent for. . He sent the paroleviolator back to prison and decided to find other employment for Johnson. The officer asked a barber to employ the boy as a bootblack but the barber had no work for him. Patron Take Boy. A patron of the shop, however, who gave his name as J. B. Boyer, traveling salesman, offered to assume responsibility for Johnson, saying he needed a boy to drive his automobile. The reformatory officer at once paroled Johnson to Boyer. After Johnson had drawn the small amount owed to him by the hotel, about $5, Boyer took the money, informing Johnson he would "keep it for him." Johnson says Boyer then started out on a tour of the saloons. After becoming intoxicated he asked Johnson If he had any more money. The boy told him he was "broke" then Johnson's "guardian" disappeared. Johnson reported the case to the police and asked for their protection, saying he was afraid he would get into some trouble and be returned to Jeffersonville. Chief Goodwin secured employment for the boy with the Pennsylvania railroad. ROADS OPPOSE 8-HOUR BILL FIXING RATES CHICAGO, Sept. 1. The railroads will fight to a finish any legislation which puts railroad operation on an eight-hour basis, even though such action by congress averts the threatened strike. This was the attitude today of heads of a dozen big western roads, who are here directing the preparation for the rail tie-up. An eight-hour day, they held, is Impracticable to railroad operation, and they do not believe the roads can be forced to accept such a mandate. E. P. Ripley, the veteran president of the Santa Fe, acted as spokesman for his colleagues, and he expressed himself in no uncertain terms regarding the proposed legislation. Measure Fixes Rates. "As I understand it," he said, "this legislation proposes that the railroads shall adopt an eight-hour day, paying for it the same as we now pay for ten. I don't think congress has any such right, and even if does pass the bill it doesn't mean the railroads will agree to it. Even if it is passed and the unions call off the strike it certainly will not end the matter. It will be a case for the courts to determine whether congress has not exceeded its authority." President Ripley's sentiments were echoed by Hale Holden, president of the Burlington. "It is my understanding," he said, "that the supreme court already has held in two cases that congress has absolutely no power to fix wages, and that Is what the Adamson bill amounts to." WELFARE STATION CLOSES FOR YEAR Whitewater baby welfare station closed for this summer yesterday afternoon with a social for the moth ers of the twenty-four children who have been under the supervision of the station during the summer months and thirty-four visitors. Eleven babies were given final examination yesterday. This is the first time that such a project has been tried and its success has pleased the organizer. Miss Lilliam Mahin, very much. With the exception of one baby, all which have been under the supervision of the station have shown marked development. It has not been decided whether the station will be continued next year but Miss Mahin said today that in all probability it will. In the work in the Riverdale district this summer, Miss Mahin has been assisted by Dr. Arthur J. Whallon and has received the complete cooperation of the school authorities. makes merit BOYS' SCHOOL ' SHOES $1.25 $1.50 $1.75 $2.00

HARRY COOPER HELD FOR LOOTING SAFE

Harry Cooper, "who will be 16 years old September 11, was arraigned in city court today on a charge of having stolen $10 from the safe of his employer, Lester Hudsen, a blacksmith. He pleaded guilty. The boy appears to be at least 21 years old, but when it was learned that he was not yet 16 the prosecution of the petit larceny case against him was halted and he was sent to the Home for the Friendless pending arraignment in juvenile court. Cooper was greatly chagrined when placed in the custody of women. The boy is really too old to be sent to the home, but too young to be kept in county jail. The boy admits that he entered the Hudsen shop night before last, opened the safe by working the combination, and helping himself to $10. He states that he has worked at four different places 6ince coming to Richmond last April, in each instance neglecting to inform his employers that he was under the age limit provided in the child labor law. WANTS TOWNSHIP SCHOOL ERECTED NEAR CAMBRIDGE "I will favor the establishment of a central school for Jackson township whenever it is decided that the building should be erected west of Cambridge City," Dr. A. E. Ehle, trustee said today. The reason for wanting the school located outside of the town was so that he could force all township school children to attend it. If the building were erected in Cambridge City, he would be forced to give transfers into Dublin schools to children who lived near it. When the township transfers are withdrawn from Dublin, it means that Dublin too must join in the central school proposition. Wants Land for Farming. "If the school is built while I am trustee, It will be surrounded by at least 18 acres of good farm land,"' said Dr. Ehle. "Agriculture will be taught more and more in the schools as time progresses and Jackson will be ready in a practical way." Dr. Ehle said that he voted against the Dublin school district because he could not see why It would be the best thing for the township inasmuch as it would cut off part of the school revenues. Even though a new central school building were erected, it would not boost the tax rate in Jackson township any higher than it is at present In some of the other townships, despite the fact that several miles of concrete road improvements have just been contracted for, he explained. PATCHELL PAUSES HERE Mr. and Mrs. Charles Patchell, formerly of Richmond, now residents of Laramie, Wyoming, were in Richmond last evening for a few hours en route from Indianapolis to Union City, where they are visiting relatives. Mr. Patchell during his Richmond residence was employed in the office of the Richmond Item and was one of the first linotype operators in the city. He is at present business manager of the Laramie Republican and like all other westerners he is an enthusiastic booster for that country. MUTINY BREAKS OUT. GENEVA, Sept 1.

HOTEL BUSINESS DECLINES RAPIDLY BECAUSE OF STRIKE

That business firms of the larger cities fear the threatened nation-wide railway strike is evidenced in the fact that "traveling men business" at the Richmond hotels has dropped off fully fifty per cent during the last week. But few traveling men registered at local hotels today. Those who did arrive in Richmond to "make" the town were representatives of firms near Richmond. Many traveling men who did register at local hotels were gradually working closer to their home bases. With the traveling men contingent a near minus quantity at the Richmond hotels it remains for automobile parties to keep the clerks busy. Machine parties who registered here last night were more numerous than for some time. Motor to Richmond. Harry L. Maxwell and party of Greencastle, motored to Richmond last night.
