THE PAY OF EXECUTORS

SHTTLCMCT OF TIIK ESTATE OF IIAVVUI HITCIIIC. The Administrator File, a mil of Eiptlon Other Cae in the Local Court. Two men were appointed executors of the .ill of Hannah Ritchie, and now a contest 13 on In the probate department to deterrnlr.e which man was the most valuable to th estate. The L'nion Trust Company, administrator of the estate of Samuel R. lieall, decease. 1 executor of the estate of Hannah Ritchie, yesterday filed exceptions to the final report of Samuel L. Houston, Eeall's former coexeeutor. The first objection is to an allowance of J700 to Huston for his servh :ps as executor, the trust company ejajnilrig it is excessive, and that it will object to any amount that exceeds J2fO. Another exception is taken to the disallowance of TM tc the estate of Deall for his services as executor. The petitioner pays his services were worth that much, as te expended considerable money in ascertaining the amount of the estate of Hannah Ritchie, and saved the estate nearly JT.OOO by resisting an extortionate claim or his coexeeutor. An objection is also .made to Huston belnj given credit for an allowance of : to Joseph E. Bell for attorney's fees in resisting a tax claim that was omitted by Huston. The petition says Huston omitted it, and should pay the attorney out of his own pocket. Exception is also taken to the report on the ground that Interest on mortgage loans sold t tb. 3, vpi, to the date of disbursement. April 2ft, has not been accounted for. The petitioners aver that they believe Huston loans money and receives interest rating as high as 10 per cent, a month, and the court Is asked to ascertain if he loaned money belonging to the estate nn received or kept the interest, SLIT OX A I'OLICV. Mrs. Winders Case Against Royal Templars of Trmperanr, Th5 mit of Ella F. Winders against the Supreme Council of Royal Templars of Temperance on a policy was on trial in Judge McMaster's court yesterday. Mrs. Winders avers that her brother, William J. Coleman, took out a policy in the order for $1.000 in May, 1301, and died a few weeks later. She was made the beneficiary. She alleges that soon after the death of her brother the supreme councilor came to her and represented that the full amount of the policy could not be paid because Coleman died within such a short time; that there was but 5319.10 In the treasury and she could take that amount in satisfaction of a settlement or nothing. She rays the councilor produced a documentwhich he asked her to sign, but would not let her know the contents of it nor permit her grown daughter to remain in the room while the conversation took place. She tays that, believing in the motto of the order, "hope, love, truth." she signed the document and later learned that she had signed away her right to make further claim against the order on the policy. She says some time after the paper was signed she received J-T0.10 and tnat the councilor deducted J4J from the original amount for Ills railroad fare and expenses. The Stilt Suddenly Dismissed. The jury in Judge Leathers's court yesterday did not get to decide the amount of damage a flying horseshoe did to Herbert Bass, who brought suit against Harry A. Tempcrly. a butcher, for $3.000 damages because he owned the horse that threw the shoe. On Oct. IS, 1001, Bass was liking along Pennsylvania street near tb postoffice. A team belonging to Temtveriy stood near the curb and one of the norses began to kirk. The driver used his whip, which did little good and a shoe was finally kicked off. It struck Bass under the left eye and inflicted a painful wound. He brought suit against Temperly for damages, holding that the driver of the team caused the horse to kick by using the whip. Judge Leathers was about to instruct the Jury when Bass dismissed the KU It. )I!Ienge Certificate Case Dismissed. Judge John H. Baker, of the Federal Court, yesterday dismissed the suit of P. J. Telleher against the Terre Haute & Indianapolis Railroad. Telleher demanded $2.500. He alleged that the station agent at Greenup. 111., failed to make out a mileage certificate in time for him to catch a train and he missed important business engagements. Divorce and Alimony 7-ouife Lutz yesterday filed suit against her husband. Christian C. Lutz, for divorce and 2.W) alimony. She avers that he has been cruel to her and beat her. She says he has real estate worth $3,500 and personal property valued at $1.500 or more. "Will Admitted to Probate. The will of Hannah E.

Tbe ShortrlilRe Club Hold Its Second Open Jleetinj. The Oratorical Club of the Shortridge High School held its second open meeting this year in Room D yesterday afternoon. The session was one of the most Interesting and best in the history of the organization and a large audience was present to hear the orations, all of which were exceedingly well delivered. This club was organized three years ago by Miss Laura Donnan. who is the critic now. Some of the best speakers in the school received their training In the Oratorical Club. Yesterday's meeting was opened by a short talk by the president. Miss Edith Brannon. The meetings of this club are private and about two sesions are held every year, when invitations are Issued so that the work that the club is doing may be seen by outsiders. Harvey Stout gave the first oration. "Pitt's Address." He did very well and spoke distinctly. The next speech was delivered by Cordelia Copeland. who gave the "Repeal of the Obnoxious Laws Demanded." She .3 an under-class pupil and spoke exceedingly well. Miss Copeland put force into the oration and kept her audience interested. A vocal solo by Maude Parkhurst followed this oration and then Ward Fisher delivered an orlKlnal oration on "The Kins of America," which was the best number on the programme. He is practically a new member In the club and his attempt was decidedly well received. The speaker termed money the king of America and said that self-interest was making people forget the higher ideals for which everyone should strive. He deplored the fact that the gaining: of wealth was the ambition of most Americans and declared that other motives should prompt the American to advance. To remedy this state of affairs the speaker said the coming generation should be taught that money is not the highest thing to strive for. Mr. Fisher was loudly applauded. "The American Soldier" was next given by Walter Prltchard. He delivered the oration in true oratorical style and was followed by Sumner Clancy, who spoke on "Conciliation or War." Mose Aronson next gave "The Removal ot the Trops from Boston" and was favorably criticised by the members of the club. Edith Brannon delivered the same oration as Mr. Clancy and spoke better than any who had given other than original speeches. The last speech was given by Frankwood E. Williams, who delivered Menry Ward Eeecher's "Effect of Lincoln's Death." Shortridge School otes. Mabel Telcamp visited the school thi3 week. Helen Holton recited in Room E recently. Ruth Elston find Florence Moats played In Room D recently. Miss Eva Co'ourn will entertain in honor of Mish Thelma Hurrle next Saturday. There will be no school next Thursday on account of the dedication of the monument. The history papers which Miss Holden'a classes have been preparing will be read scon. Miss Dye's IIB English classes are writing sonnets on the dedication of the monument. Miss Claribel Kahn will spend her summer vacation abroad. She will sail the lir&t week in June. The senior English pupils have finished the study of Macbeth and will begin work on Hamlet at once. Miss Laura Dcnnan will entertain the members of the Oratorical Association at her hon e on the evening tf May 16. The Shortridge "gym" class of the Y. W. C. A. has poitponed its spread which was to have taken place on the bth until next Tuesday. Mr Charles W. Moores, of the School Board, will read a paper before the students the first hour this afternoon cn "Lincoln in Literature." Miss Elizabeth Hall, who taught lower English and has been quite ill, is worse, and will not be able to return to school this term. She has nervous prostration. The school organ, the Dally Echo, contained an entertaining letter from Miss Nathalie Reynolds yesterday, written at Key West. It told of the great progress in the line of education there and said that much good was being dene by educating all classes. An enthusiastic meeting of the boys Interested in athletics was held In the assembly hall c f the school Tuesday during the fifth hour. Coach Castleman talked to the boys on the prospects for the coming field day and urged more of them to try for some of th; events. Professor Hufford .lso spoke about encouraging younger boys to come out and train. Mr. Lynn McMullen. who has been a prominent worker In the athletics of the school for a number of years, addressed the boys on the necessity of more candidates going out to the Oval and practicing. After speeches by a number of -siudT.ts the rteeting adjourned rnd the pupils continued telling how they would "clean up" on the Slst. 31. T. II. S. Notes. The baseball team will rlay the Inclana State Normal club at Washington Tark Saturday. Glenn Diddel was host at a meeting of the Sheikhs, a popular "frat" of the senior boys, last Tuesday evening. The attendance at all of the clubs is very light, owlr.g to the fact that so many of the boys ar? busy at Newby Oval preparing for field day. The Manual Training School Science and Chemistry Club held an enjoyable session Monday afternoon Papers by Mr. liep-kt-Tskl and Luls Fnstowe were greatly enjoyed. WORKHOUSE REPORT. Charity Hoard Says It Is Not Yet What It Should Be. The County Charity Board yesterday filed the following report: "The County Board of Charities would most respeettully report to you that they visited the workhouse on Tuesday. April 22. 11 We arc pleased to Inform you that a very decided improvement has been made in the cleanliness of the premises, and neatness pervades throughout the buildings and the grounds. It was a positive pleasure for us to go through the several departments and see the marvelous change which has been made. The cell room, corridors, the hospital are all In excellent condition. The kitchen and dining room are models of neatness. e were glad to see that the old bath tubs had been removed and shower baths put In their place. Wire screens have been placed on the windows of the cell house and provision has been made for the saftety of the guards In their sleeping room in case ot emergency. "Our board is still of the opinion that the workhouse is not what its name implies, and trust that the day H not far distant when all inmates will be kpt at work of .ome kind that hall he for the interest of the county. The stone heap, while giving employment for a part of the time, is an expense to the county. We do not advocate the manufacture of articles for sale, tut we believe that there are many things used every day in the county institutions that could be made at the workhouse. "We are glad that our recommendations have met with approval'aud some of them have already btn put into practice. We trust that you will very oon br able to carry out further recommendations and that we shall have your co-operation in striving to make th workhouse a model Institution of ita kind." You may talk about your Champasne. but I know of none as popular as Cook's Imperial Extra Dry.

Edgar Windsor. JUVENILE CRIMINALS. A Consideration of Some- of the Causes That Produce Them. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journil: The Journal a few weeks ago referred to the lamentable increase of juvenile crim inals. The fact is indisputable, but the cause or causes of this fact are not so apparent, and back of these are to be studied the cause or causes of these more immediate causes, for whoever would intelligently studj- the situation mu?t take in the iemote as well as the immediate causes if he would deal with it Intelligently. Two truths always meet us in this study; first. Juvenile criminals are found almost exclusively In cities and large towns, and always among the unemployed classes of boys. This suggests at the beginning that want of employment is an ever present factor in the problem. The statistics show that ?4 per cent, of the enrollment at Plalnfleld come from the class known in the report as "loafers," according to the statements of the boys themselves on entering the school, whereas those best able to know say that not one of them, at the time of arrest and conviction, had any steady employment which meant a purpose to make a living by work. By the same statistics it Is shown that Marion county is credited with onefourth the entire enrollment from the State, and one who Is In position to know says these are practically If not absolutely all from Indianapolis. As the account is kept only with counties, the distinction between town and country is in no case kept, but the figures show that in all the counties represented by large figures there are cities or large towns, so that in our study of the situation it is safe to assume that the causes of juvenile idleness are found chiefly in cities. Any Intelligent study of the situation must take In many years. Such a condition as la now in Indianapolis cannot grow incne year or one decade; hence several decades must be studied, and the Influences which tend to. If they do not compel idleness, must be studied. Let us in our study take at least two-thirds of a century. That will take us anterior to the Introduction of much labor-saving machinery. It is safe to assume that even on farms not one-half the manual labor i required for given results that was used sixty years ago, when wheat was sown broadcast, reaped with sickles and threshed with flails and winnowed with sheets. Where are the other half of workingmen? They have gravitated into the cities in quest of work, and they constitute no small portion of the city's population; but they are there confronted by the ubiquitous labor-saving machine. It is not extravagant to assume that one-fourth the manual labor of the kind of work which enters into city life is now required for given results. One who is in position to know says that in the building industry hardly one-tenth the number of men and boys are employed that were required when lumber was seasoned by stacking on the fence or by an improvished kiln and was dressed by jack planes, and when doors and sash and blinds were made by hand. Where are tne other three-fourths? The machine has even invaded the printirg office and turned out per cent, of the typesetters, some of them too old to learn any other trade. Where are they? A not less potent factor in contributing to the army of the unemployed Is the trespassing of wonieT and girls upon the traditional fields of labor belonging to men. They are not to be censured for this, but rather to be commended, but where are their brothers? Still demanding man's wages or no work, they have joined the army of the unemployed which furnishes so large a per cent, of our criminals. And yet another factor enters into the problem. Three or four dtscades ago. under the guise of humanity, a crusade was b.gun asainst child labor, and the small boy was turned out of the factory and shop to run riot in the street, except the few hours he Is compelled to appear in school a few months every year, so that boys who would have worked if thev j bad had a charce are inmates of the Re form School. nether the morals or the health of these boys have been Improved bv this cruelty, practiced under the cloak of humanity, let the inmates of the Reform School and the ganvs of street gamins that infest the city testify. But almost simultaneously with the introduction of labor-raving machinery came the most potent factor of all. It w?.s small at the beginning, but it has grown with the growth of the otfrur factors until it has become chief of all. A little over fifty years ago the operatives of the industries most affected by the Introduction of machinery combined to keep away from their respective industries all but a limited nurnbor of workers. This was at first to maintain the wase scale, but its chief aim is to limit the number of men that may be employed in any

given industry, and this organization Is more responsible than all otner causes for the army of unemployed men and boys that furnlh new recruits to our penal Institutions, and make life and property unsafe. Driven from work by bludgeons or otherwise they must steal or starve. The Journal was right In an editorial referred to when It said that these young criminals do not owe their bent to h'eridlty. Many of them are irom ansestors who for generations have been noteworthy for their honesty and industry. A son of one of the early carpenters of Indianapolis is making his living now as a shoveler in the cellars now being dug. He wanted to be a carpenter with his father twenty years ago. but the inexorable law of the union would not allow him to enter as an apprentice, and he spent his young manhood between occasional jobs at anything and idleness, and now ho. is content with the wages and" work of a shoveler, just now active in organizing a shovelers' union. A few days ao I met on the street a carpenter i had known fifty years ago. He Is an old man now. and. until recently, a member of the union. On Inquiry after his son. now over fifty, he answered he was an idle boy and ho now keeps a gambling house. The city is full of such cases or worse. Driven from a lucrative industry by force they are idle or engaged in some less profitable industry, while at Jeff ersonville or Plainfield or Michigan City are sons of those who drove them into idleness and crime. In a few factories and founderies a hw boys are employed, but none of them are learning trades, nor can they learn a trade except In limited numbers, the limit being fixed by the union. It is with such facts as these we have to wrestle when we think of diminishing the number of juvenile criminals. We have training schools connected with our educational system, but no trade is taught in them, and a diploma from them Is no introduction to any Industry. The son of a carpenter, after such a training, cannot bo admitted into his own father s shop as an apprentice except by the consent of the union, and he must take his chances as a cleaner of streets or as something else that does not prohibit newcomers, or as an idler on the highway to the Reform School. There he is taught a trade, but what of it? He cannot work with other of the same trade after he gets out. One haa to smile at the unsophisticated simplicity of the superintendent of our Reform School when he suggests to those who wish to employ typesetters or other skilled workmen to send to him for a skilled young man. Bless his dear soul! It is the very thing no employer can do, to furnish a plea for a graduate from such an Institution. Their only chance is to take up with some unskilled labor, or steal or starve. Is there any remedy for this calamitous condition? None is in sight that is, none that can take any perceptible effect immediately. Time, and a long time, will be required to effect a reform. It is to be a work of education more than of legislation, yet legislation may be required. First of all, the home, the school and the pulpit must emphasize as they have not for a century that work is what differentiates man from the lower animals, and that to lead a worthy life all must work. The child should hear it and see it at home and then at the school Instead of the too common expression, "I hope none of my children will have to work as I have," and it should be as assiduously taught from the pulpit, as the duty of renting on the Sabbath is, and the very little child should be Impressed that Its mission is to do something, not merely to make a living, but for

the proper development or the noblest characteristics. Then. In all attempts to reform present conditions, it must be borne in mind that machinery will never go out of use and that women will never relinquish their jobs, and that men can never displace them, but by doing as good or better work at as low or lower wages. Gallantry can cut no figure here; It is cold business. The fittest will survive. And any scheme of reform must for the present recognize the probable fact that the labor trust, the most dangerous trust of all. Is likelv to hold its sway for a season, if not forever. It is too much interwoven with the economic, social and political fabric of this and other countries to be dislodged at once, but it will be dislodged. Other trusts have had their day, but tne uongres ana the President and the courts are after them with a purpose, and the result can hardly be doubted, but no oil or railroad or b-nf "trust can be half 3 dangerous as the trust that drives men into idleness and crime. It? assumed master in politics, its terrorizing of all courts whose officers are elective and its power to disturb all the great Industries of the world at will cannot always last. L L. SEE. Indianapolis. May 6. Distribution of Wealth. To the Editor of the Indianapolis' Journal: The pessimists arc continually inform ing us that about all the wealth of th country Is In the hands cf a few persons, and that in a short time the masses, and especially the farmers, will be without visible means of support. A bulletin recentlj issued by the Census Bureau at Washington shows that the farmer still has enough on hand to keep the wolf from the door tcr some time to come. In the State of Iowa alone the value of the live stock 13 given at $271.S41.C'. and this is but one item. As that State has within its borders 35.504.000 acres of land, worth an average of $24 an acre, this makes a sum equal to $52,.,O"0. Adding to this the value of th live stock, to say nothing of grain and other rronert!es, we have the comfortable sum Of Jl.123.940.n34. When it must be remembered that only a few years ago the buffalo roamed at will over those broad prairies, as well as admitted that a few persons In the United States are possessed of enormous wealth, these figures show that the poor farmer. In Iowa at least, is doing fairly well, and still has something left for a rainy day. Indianapolis. May 7. W. W. V. Action of Local Hibernians. At the meeting of Division No. 3.

DEAR LOCKERBIE STREET

BOARD ORDERS A RESOLUTION FOR ITS IMPROVEMENT. James IVhitconin Riley'a Foem Recalled A Remonstrance "Will De Filed City Affairs. Puch a dear little street it is. nestle-d away From the noise of tn? city and heat of the day. In cool shade coverts of whispering trees. With their leaves lifted up to shake hands with the breeze. Which in all its wide wanderings never may meet With a resting place fairer than Lockerbie street! O my Lockerbie street! You are fair to be seen Be it noon of the day, or the rare and serene Afternoon of the night you are one to my heart. And 1 lov you above all the phrase of art. For no language could frame, and no lips could repeat My rhyme-haunted raptures of Lockerbie street! . James Whitcomb Riley. An order of the Board of Public Works to City Engineer Nelson yesterday to prepare a resolution for the improvement of Lockerbie street is likely to bring forth as large a storm of disapproval as the limited area of the street may produce. Lockerbie street, hiding between East and Liberty streets, with Its stately trees and "oldfashioned" appearance, has been made imperishable in memory by James Whitcomb. Riley. One of his earliest poems, published originally in the Journal, idealized this street. It gave to the country a new synonym for one of the quiet side streets, with roadway of gravel and walks of the same, separated by a stretch of green sward from the roadway. Although only a block long. Mr. Riley found in It those charming characteristics that he described which led to the discovery of unappreciated "Lockerbie" streets in other cties. Not only that, but many have visited the city and sought this very commonplace street, looking like the "fine residence" section of a county seat, where they found flowery lawns, song birds and quietall within five minutes' walk of the heart of the city's noisy business life. .It was nearly tw enty years a so that Mr. Riley, taking a stroll about the East End, came unexpectedly into Lockerbie street. It was in full bloom. At that time it was little different from other streets of the city, except Meridian, being better than most. But already the din of city life had begun to rescund in the down-town of Indianapolis, and one had to seek quiet afar. Here, within a few blocks of the Journal office (which was then at Pennsylvania and Market streets), Mr. Riley found an ideal spot for the repose that worn city men so often need. It was a sudden transformation, rich in its happiness. Mr. Riley was so impressed that he returned to the Journal office, found a convenient desk, the occupant of which was absent, and. contrary to his usual habit, there he composed the little poem that has become so widely known. The next morning a basket o'f flowers from "Lockerbie Street" greeted Mr. Riley at the Journal office. Lockerbie street Is unchanged. Its front yards teem with nature's flowers, and In Its trees song birds thrive and give good cheer to all. It is not a highway, and little pedestrian or vehicle traffic enters it. East

Try the change and "cut out" meat for breakfast. Our word for it you will feel "Fit as a Lord" in a week's time by breakfasting on Grape-Nuts and cream, a little fruit and perhaps one or two soft eggs. If you ever try this experiment, you will always bless the day of high beef that waked you up. There's a reason why Grape-Nuts furnishes power to the body and brain. The food contains selected parts of the field grains that furnish phosphate of potash in a natural state that can be assimilated by the human body. This joins with the albumen of food and forms the soft filling of the brain and nerve centers. Feed skilfully and you can "do things." The greatest brain workers in America eat Grape-Nuts. Ask one or two, they'll tell you. You meat eaters who are ailing in any sort of way might take a valuable hint from the following statement of Chief Chemist Wiley, of the Agricultural Department, in the Daily Press, from which we give the following extracts. There is no doubt of ths fact that m:at-eatin Is not essential to human life, and that men can bs well nourished without resorting to a flssh diet. '1 think thz statement miy b; accepted without question that, as a rnle, we eat too much, not only of meat, but of all forms of food. Th: qurstionof limiting the diet Is based primarily, not on the principle of economy, but on the requirements of hygiene. At the early breakfasts which Am ;ricins are wont to indulge in, that Is, a hearty meal before going to their daily work, the omission of meat is to be earnestly advised. It Is well known that men who are nourished very extensively on certain cereals are capable of ths hardest and most enduring labor. M;ats are quickly digeited, furnish an abundince of energy soon after consumption, but are not retained in the digestive organism Ions enough to sustain p:rmincnt muscular ex;nion." You will feel the Energy of Grapa-Nuts longer than any meal of meat. Remember Grape-Nuts food costs about one cent per meal for each person and all grocers sell it.

PL3 5TLFOM Ir3TTlXJNO CX. Haiti more. Ud. and Noble streets are Improved with the implacable asphalt, but -improvement" has not until now been suggested for peaceful, beautiful Lockerbie street. In Its name and its architecture it speaks for a fast passing generation, and there live in it now many who cherish its past against the slightest intrusion of improvement." One of the?e is John R. Nickum. eightytwo years old. with whom Mr. Riiey lives. Col. J. Ii. Maynard. the veteran JournalUt, Is another. The Igoe family regards Lockerbie street as Its own. They and others will join in remonstrating against Improvement, not so much from sentimental motives, which are indeed strong, but because they hold that there is no practical need of improvement. "Our little street." said Mr. Nickum, a hale, active man, "Is never muddy nor dusty, and traffic Is so diverted from it that we always have peace and happiness. I know of no property owner that wants this condition changed, and I doubt if it will be." The petition on which the board and the cltv engineer acted was ftle-d by James Pierce, J. C. Ertel and Dena Strens. It asked for the paving of the roadway to a width of twenty feet with pine blocks, and cement walks next to the curb. Such an Improvement will not likely destroy any of the beautiful trees. When Mayor Uookwalter heard of the contemplated Improvement he quoted the well-remembered opening lines of the poem, and laughingly said: "Dear old Lockerbie street! The board has doubtless acted according to the best light it had. but if the. people do not want their blessed quiet or Its cheerful appearance disturbed they can easily make tnat clear to the board." A remonstrance will doubtless be filed soon with the board. Some time ago an improvement was hinted at, but was abandoned. Some thought Mr. Riley, who has lived in the little street for ten years, was sympathetic with the advocates of improvement. His friends knew, however, that his sympathies were all the other way. and that he loves the neighborhood because it retains the character it possessed when he first found it. twenty years ago. and would not have it changed. Preparing for Dogf Licenses. Deputy Controller Bogardus is preparing for the dog license days. The "dog days" in the controller's office do not wait for Sirius to rage, as he is supposed to do in August, but begin with the first of an obselete fiscal year. The law requires every dog, "mongrel, puppy, whelp and hound," to wear a badge as Its license for living and these licenses will be due June 1. As usual. County Treasurer Koehne has raid in his money for license No. 1, which he has had for several years. Mr. Bogardus will provide an aesthetic innovation in the license this year. It will be a picture or Mayor Bookwalter's great St. Bernard. Since Juno of last year 5.TG5 licenses were issued. Mr. Bogardus says a greater number must be issued after June 1 as the police will scour the city for delinquents. Touring ntiiral Gnu Cities. Councilman Ed Ci.

Mr. Sourbier Is much interested in the natural rhs problem and will make his investigation a purely personal one, bearing the expense of it himself.
