OPENS PUBLIC PLAY-GROUNDS FOR CHILDREN FORT WAYNE BOASTS THE BIGGEST AND BEST PLAY SPOT IN INDIANA---COVERS 7 ACRES. HAS FINE EQUIPMENT Named In Honor Of Mr And Mrs Olaf N. Guldin, Who Have Been the Promoters. To the. inspiring accompaniment of music, addresses, athletic drills, gymnastic exercises, and the merry romping of thousands of boys and girls, Fort Wayne opened its newest, and best equipped public playground last month (May 20). This Playground is situated along the St. Mary's river between Ross and Van Buren streets. It is called "The Mr. and Mrs. Guldlin Playgrounds". In the dedication ceremonies the committee in charge had the following to say in reference to those for whom the big play spot was named. We are fortunate in having among the disfranchised half of our citizenship a lady who is widely known, the country over, for her activity and usefulness in the National Federation of Womens Clubs. At home, we know of her as being among the formost in every movement for the betterment of the social and civic conditions in Ft. Wayne. She was the first of any of us to see the importance of a playground movement and to commence to urge it upon an indifferent and sceptical public. At first she encountered allopathic doses ot sneers and ridicule and not even homeopathic doses of sympathy. But she persisted in her work until she compelled attention and brought about conviction, and the work was started. Our community is equally fortunate in having as one of its foremost citizens a gentleman who does things and who early became intensely interested in this work, and by his experience, ability and skill has easily saved the association $1000. He has shouldered the responsibility of becoming accountable for all the money expended, and will be, by all odds, the heaviest contributer of us all when these bills are finally paid. Now. in the naming of these grounds we want to honor both this lady and this gentleman and fortunately for our purpose they are already engaged in doing team work." The name suggested by your committee is 'The Mr. and Mrs. Guldlin Playgrounds'. The Fort Wayne people have already expended $5,000 on this one playground which is now the finest in the state. Their purpose in this expenditure is voiced in the address of Mr. Guldlin that our children shall have their chance for healthy sport and frolic so essential to the physical development which makes rigorous boys and girls, who will grow into men and women with good rich, red blood. The playground consists of seven acres, with three acres more available. It has a babies playground, a boys' playground, girls' playground and besides these, tennis courts, ball grounds, croquet grounds running courses, etc. There is a good supply of gymnastic equipment also at hand. Supervisors are in charge and it is arranged that each child shall have his turn and fair show in the use of the grounds and appliances. Mrs. Guldlin lectured in Plymouth Nov. 8 of last year and will be pleasantly remembered by her many friends in this city. INDICIED IN VOTE SCANDAL Voliva and Others of Dawie Sect Are Accused of Election Fraud. Zion City, Ill., June 27.---Overseer Wilbur Glenn Voliva and 189 other officers and members of the Christian Catholic church in Zion were indicted, charged with perpetrating election frauds at the Zion City elections April 5 and 18 involving in part control of the church founded by the late John Alexander Dowie. Two hundred witnesses were heard. It is alleged that Voliva and his coworkers in the election brought members of the church from all parts of the country, including, San Francisco, Portland, Ore., Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Cleveland and other cities, to vote. Their qualifications in many instances were protested by the "independents," but they are said to have sworn in their votes by taking oath that they were residents of Zion City. Dies Showing Lack of Fear. Akron, O. June 27.---In demonstrating that had no fear of picking up a live electric wire, Andrew Zellko of Barberton, was killed.

FUNK FOLLOWED BY DETECTIVES Feature of Testimony Startles Lorimer Investigators.

THINKS HINES KNOWS ABOUT IT General Manager of International Harvester Company Corners One Detective and Gains Admissions from Him. Washington. June 27.---The members of the Lorimer investigating committee were startled when Clarence S. Funk, general manager of the International Harvester company, charged that four private detectives of a Chicago agency had been shadowing him ever since he testified three months ago before the Helm committee of the Illinois legislature. In his testimony at that time, he told how Edward Hines of the Edward Hines Lumber company, asked him for a $10,000 contribution from the Harvester company to aid in paying the expenses of Senator Lorimer's election and he intimated that Hines could tell about the activities of the four detectives. Funk testified that the sleuths had even followed him to Washington and were still dogging him, even to the doors of the investigating committee rooms. Mr. Funk said he got one of the detectives in an "uncomfortable" position and quizzed him about his work. "I do not care to give the name of this young man," the witness said, "but 1 will produce him before the committee if it desires." The disclosures regarding the activities of the four detectives were brought out by Senator Kenyon while Mr Funk was being cross-examined. Funk had casually mentioned that since giving his testimony before the Helm committee he had been receiving anonymous threats by telephone and letter. The committee took a recess to discuss what action should be taken to ascertain all the facts regarding the activity of the detectives. At the end of the executive session, Chairman Dillingham announced that no decision had been reached and the matter will be considered when Mr. Funk resumes the stand. Prior to the disclosures about the detectives Mr. Funk told of the conversation Mr. Hines had with him at the Union League club in Chicago early in June, 1909, shortly after the election of Senator Lorimer, when Hines asked for a contribution from the harvester company to aid in paying the expenses of Lorimer's election. PLAN OF DIEGEL DEFENSE Claim that Acceptance of Money Was Part of the Scheme. Columbus. O., June 27.---That the defense in the Rodney J. Diegel bribery case will attempt to show that the acceptance of money by Sergeant-at-Arms Diegel and three senators now under indictment was part of a scheme arranged by the assemblymen to entrap would-be bribers, is indicated. Attorney Belcher said the state would be willing to admit that two of the senators, Andrews and Cetone, were the owners of voices which were heard over the dictagraph. The statement was made when the state proposed to have Detective Smiley point out the senators in court as senators to whom he had given $200 each. Attorneys for the defense sought to stave off the identification but the state insisted on going through with it. Andrews bore up well under the ordeal, but Cetone was visibly affected when Smiley branded them as bribe takers. WORKING ON M'MANIGLE Defense in Dynamiting Case May Yet Win Him Over. Los Angeles, June 27.---The grand jury took up the Times dynamiting cases. Mrs. Ortie McManigal and Mrs. Sadie McGuire, both of Chicago, appeared in response to subpoeonas. Mrs. McManigal, who is the wife of the man who will be the principal witness against J. J. McNamara and J. B. McNamara, refused to answer any questions. She has allied herself with the deferse, although her husband is to testify for the prosecution. It is evident that the defense hopes to win over McManigal through his wife's influence and then persuade him to repudiate his confession involving the McNamaras in the destruction of the Times buildlng. SIX NEGRESSES MUTILATED Murderous Pervert Like' "Jack the Ripper" Abroad In Atlanta. the Atlanta, Ga., June 27.---Apparently "Jack the Ripper" is at work in Atlanta and his purpose is to murder every negress he can. The finding of the mutilated body of a comely negress on a side street, marks the sixth chapter in a series of mysterious murders which have puzzled the detectives and thrown the negro population into a state of terror. Six consecutive Sunday nights have been marked by the murder of a negress, and in every instance the bodies have been mutilated in such a manner as to indicate that the same man committed the crimes. The victims have all been young and comely and the indications are that they were first strangled to death and then the murderer proceeded to carve certain parts of their bodies. In each iastance the bodies of the victims have been found in lonely side streets where, it is believed, the women were lured. Physicians say the murderer is undoubtedly a pervert with a knowledge of anatomy. The detectives have no clues.

GOItIPERS CASE ISJEOPENED Justice Wright Issues a Rule ,Against Labor Leaders.

CONTEMPT ORDER UP JULY 1 7 Action Follows Report of Committee of Attorneys Which Inquired into the Bucks Stove and Range Boycott. Washington, June 27. Justice Dan lei T. Wright of the District supreme court Issued a rule against Samuel Gompers, Frank Morrison and John Mitchell, labor leaders, requiring them to show cause July 17 why they should not be judged' guilty of contempt oi court. This action followed the filing of thf report of the special committee of at torneys apiointed by Justice Wright to inquire into the contempt j proceed ing3 in the Hucks Stove and Range boycott case. Mr. Gompers is president, Mr. Morrison secretary and Mr. Mitchell vice president of the American Federation of Labor. The contempt proceedings against the labor leaders recently were passed upon by the United States supreme court which set aside the jail sentences heretofore imposed by Jus tice Wright. The supreme court held that the contempt on which Justice Wright formerly passed was of a civil nature and against the Bucks Stove and Range company. In dismissing the former proceeding, however, the supreme court gave to the district court a right to reopen the case in the event that any contempt of the court itself or its orders shoold be found. Inasmuch as the stove company and the American Federation of Labor had adjusted their differences It was not supposed that the matter would be pursued further. But the day following the decision Justice Wright immediate 4y ordered an investigation with a view to further contempt action against the labor men. He appointed a committee of three lawyers to inquire into all the circumstances of the case and to determine whether or not there had been a con tempt of the court itself. This com mittee consisted of J. Darlington, Danitl Davenport and James M. Beck Samuel Gompers in a statement at once questioned the fairness of an in quiry by these men, inasmuch as they all had been associated as council for the stove company against the feder ation. - ALASKA LAND CLAIMS Department of the Interior Dis allows Them.
