STATE LABOR BODY LEADERS SPEAK AT MEETING WEDNESDAY

The Adventure of the Six Napoleons wltJi The McClure Newspaper Syndicate.

Addresses by statft officers of the building trades organizations of Inliaia were features of the meeting of the Central Labor council, held in the u O. O. F. hall Wednesday evening. k resolution to stand fast in the pres-

int controversy with the contractors Bhould be late for our appointment

PART FOUR Holmes had taken several notes during Mr. Harding's evidence, and I could see that he was thoroughly satisfied by the turn which affairs were taking. He made no remark, however,

ave that, unless we hurried, we

jf the city was manifest.

"We stand ready to prove to any Ban that we can show reductions In building costs of $700 on a $3,700 building and still retain our wage scale of 85 cents an hour," said Charles G. Griffey, in the course of a

talk summing up the situation. Figures quoted at the meeting showd that very few of the local craftsmen were out of work at present. Although 18 carpenters were out of work at the start, only six are idle at present. Three plumbers, and three plasterers aro out of work. Living No Cheaper. Living conditions are no cheaper fcere than in Indianapolis and other parts of the state," said William F. Wilson, president of the state council bf carpenters. "Labor wants an opportunity to educate children, to proride food, medicine and recreation,

ind still have some left to provide a

lavings fund. We are asking thi3 as l living wage." The "one big union idea" was con-

lemned by him as a movement that would tend to eliminate craft lines and

reduce efficiency. Unsettled strikes exist In half a doz en Industrial centers of the state, ac

ssording to Charles W. Kern, president

bf the Central Labor council of Indiina. This statement referred to the building industry. In all these places, be said the workers have presented a solid front in some cases for 12 weeks

or more up to the present time.

"The public has been demanding a jut in the cost of building, and we

rere making efforts to meet that de

Band," said a contractor Thursday

Doming. In my own case, I have

Jharged $1.10 an hour for workmen to rhom I was paying on an average 90 ients per hour. Out of that 20 cent nargin, I furnished my own equipoent, amounting to about $2,000, telephone, lights, services and other items. Insurance alone cost me from $600 to 5700 last year. My books are open io any party who wishes to satisfy himself aa to my stand."

Thousands of persons hear better with their left ear than with their right. The constant use of the telephone is given as the cause of this peculiar development.

with Lestrade. Sure enough, when

we reached Baker Street the detective was already there, and we found him pacing up and down in a fever of impatience. His look of , importance

showed that his day's work had not been in vain.

Well?" he asked. "What luck, Mr.

Holmes?"

'We have had a very busv day.

and not entirely a wasted one," my

friend explained. "We have seen both the retailers and also the wholesale manufacturers. I can trace each of the busts now from the beginning."

The busts!" cried Lestrade. "Well,

well, you have your own methods, Mr.

Sherlock Holmes, and it is not for

me to say a word against them, but I

think I have done a better day's work than you. I have identified the dead man." "You don't say so?" "And found a cause for the crime." "Splendid!" "We have an inspector who makes a specialty of Saffron Hill and the Italian Quarter. Well, this dead man had some Catholic emblem round his

neck, and that, along with his color, made me think he was from the South. Inspector Hill knew him the moment he caught sight of him. His name is Pietro Venucci, from Naples, and he is one of the greatest cut-throats in London. He is connected with the Mafia, which, as you know, is a secret political society, enforcing its decrees by murder. Now, you see how the affair begins to clear up. The other fellow is probably an Italian also, and a member of the Mafia. He has broken the rules in some fashion. Pietro is

set upon his track. Probably the photograph we found in his pocket is the man himself, so that he may not knife the wrong person. He dogs the fellow, he sees him enter a house, he

waits outside for him, and in the scuffle he receives his own deathwound. How is that, Mr. Sherlock Holmes?" Holmes clapped his 'hands approvingly. "Excellent, Lestrade, excellent!" he cried. "But I didn't quite follow your explanation of the destruction of the busts." "The busts! You never can get those busts out of your head. After

all, that is nothing; petty larceny, six months at the most. It is the murder that we are really investigating, and I tell you that I am gathering all the threads into my hands." "And the next stage?" "Is a very simple one. I shall go down with Hill to the Italian quarter, find the man whose photograph we have got, and arrest him on the charge of murder. Will you come with us?" "I think not, I fancy we can attain our end in a simpler way. I can't say

for certain, because it all depends well, it all depends upon a factor which is completely outside our control. But I have great hopes in fact, the betting is exactly two to one

that if you will come with us tonight I shall be able to help you to lay him by the heels." "In the Italian Quarter?" "No, I fancy Chiswick is an address which is more likely to find him. If you will come with me to Chiswick toni?ht, Lestrade, I'll promise to go to the Italian Quarter with you tomorrow, and no harm will be done by the delay. And now I think that a

few hours' sleep would do us all good, for I do not propose to leave before eleven o'clock, and it is unlikely that we shall be back before morning. You'll dine with us, Lestrade, and

then you are welcome to the sofa until it is time for us to start. In the meantime, Watson, I should be glad if you would ring for an express messenger, for I have a letter to send, and it is important that it should go at once." Holmes spent the evening in rummaging among the files of the old daily papers with which one of our lumber-rooms was packed. When at last he descended, it was with triumph in his eyes, but he said nothing to either of us as to the result of his researches. For my own part, I had followed step by step the methods by which he had traced the various

EATON JUDGE SENDS REPORTS ON . 12 CASES EATON, O., July 7. Judge A. C. Risinger forwarded Wednesday to Greenville opinions and decisions in 12 cases he had heard in common pleas court of Darke county. Judge Risinger expected to recess common

pleas court the first of this week for his annual vacation, but owing to illness of his father, Levi Risinger, he

deferred his vacation a few days. If the condition of his parent is sufficiently improved, the judge will leave next Sunday for New Dayton, Alberta,

windings of this complex case, and, though I could not yet perceive the goal which we would reach, I understood clearly that Hoimes expected this grotesque criminal to make an attempt upon the two remaining busts, one of which, I remembered, was at Chiswick. No doubt the object of our journey was to catch him in the very act, and I could not but admire the cunning with which my friend had inserted a wrong clue in the evening paper, so as to give the fellow the idea that he could continue his scheme with impunity. I was not surprised when

Holmes suggested I should take my

revolver with me. He had himself picked up the loaded hunting-crop, which was his favorite weapon. A four-wheeler was at the door at eleven, and in it we drove to a spot at the other side of Hammersmith Bridge. Here the cabman was direct-

ceased, and again there was a long silence. The fellow was making his way into the house. We saw the sudden flash of a dark lantern inside the room. What he sought was evidently not there, for again we saw the flash through another blind, and then through another. "Let us get to the open window. We will nab him as he climbs out," Lestrade whispered. But before we could move the man had emerged again. As he came out into the glimmering patch of light, we saw that he carried something white under his arm. He looked stealthily all round him. The silence of the deserted street reassured him. Turning his back upon us he laid down his burden, and the next instant there was the sound of a sharp tap, followed by a clatter and rattle. The

"We may thank our stars that it is not raining. I don't think we can even venture to smoke to pass the time. However, it's a two to one chance that we get something to pay us for our trouble."

It proved, however, that our vigil was not to be so long as Holmes had lpd us to fear, and it ended in a very sudden and singular fashion. In an instant, without the least sound to warn us of his coming, the garden gate swung open and a lithe, dark figure, as swift and active as an ape, rushed up the garden path. We saw it whisk past the light thrown from over the' door and disappear against the black shadow of the house. There was a long pause, during which we held our breath, and then a very gentle

i creaking sound came to our ears. The window was being opened. The noise

we turned him over I saw a hideous, sallow face, with writhing, furious

features, glaring up at us, and I knew that it was indeed the man of the photograph whom we had secured.

TXE are urging you to accept this offer for one week only and learn how Henna, used in the right way, beautifies your hair and brings health to your scalp. It is no new discovery that Henna is a tonic. Ancient Egypt used Henna extensively for its remarkable tonic and medicinal values and you are not experimenting with Henna when you use it blended with the fragrant cleansing liquid of the Lura Shampoo, rf Liquid Henna Shampoo, will JJ get at the seat of hair troubles, 5Mestroy the cause, cleanse the scalp and give new life to hair. When used solely as a shampoo, Lura is unexcelled. The liquid quickly makes a delightfully refreshing lather which leaves the scalp with that clean feeling; then, it is so easily rinsed from the hair. You will surely

appreciate the new lustre and body of your hair after this shampoo. You will have the tonic benefits of Henna though you use Lura only as a shampoo, yet if you allow the shampoo to remain upon your hair after the scalp is thoroughly cleansed, the lovely rich tones of your hair can be intensified to just the degree that you desire. There isn't the smallest danger of getting an unnatural shade nor will it stain the hands and scalp. The length of time you allow the shampoo to remain upon the hair, determines the extent of the color effect you receive. The full directions are on every bottle. Wash beauty and health into your hair with every shampoo. It brings the gloss and brightness of Youth to your hair. It comes in one size only price $1.00.

As a General Shampoo Wet hairthoroughly.then pour one tablespoonful of Shampoo on head and massage vigorously, loosening all dirt and dandruff. Rinse well then apply another tablespoonful of Shampoo, rub we'll and rinse thoroughly, first in hot then in cool water. Only two applications are necessary, and to use more than a tablespoonful to an application is to waste the Shampoo.

How to Use It To Bring Out the Glint-

Not Changing the Color Wet the hair thoroughly. Pour one tablespoonful of Shampoo on hair, massage vigorously, loosening all dirt and dandruff. Rinse well. Squeeze water from hair, so it will not drip. Then apply another tablespoonful of Shampoo and distribute evenly. Do not rub. Do not apply more water, but allow Shampoo to remain on hair for three to fifteen minutes, then apply water, massage and rinse thoroughly. This will not color the hair but will give that "golden glint" so much desired.

To Darken Gray Hair and Bring the True Henna Tone Wet the hair thoroughly. Put about one tablespoonful of Shampoo directly on the hair. Rub vigorously into a lather, then rinse the soap out of the hair and rub hair with dry towel so water doet not drip from hair, then apply another tablespoonful of Shampoo directly on the hair and distribute evenly. DO NOT RUB, DO NOT APPLY MORE WATER but allow shampoo to remain on hair fifteen to thirty minutes, then apply more water, rub into a lather and rinse well.
