South Bond, Ind. Governor Mar
shall Sunday night ordered Capt.
Charles 13. Calvert, Company F, Third
Infantry, of thla city, to hold his
troops In readiness to assemble at a
moment's notice. There was spas
modic rioting In the Grand Trunk
yards all day by mobs of strikers and
their sympathizers.
Grand Trunk officials announced
that no attempt will be made to move
any passenger trains through South
Bend, orders having been Issued to
cancel all passenger service to or
from the city. Advices from all along
the Grand Trunk system Is to the ef
fect that strikers are quiet at all
points except at South Bend.
Strikers, or their sympathizers, at
tempted to derail east-bound passen
ger train No. 8 at Olivers, the first sta
tion at which Grand Trunk trains stop
when entering South Bend. The
engineer saw the thrown switch Just
in time to bring his train to a stop
and prevent heavy loss of life.
J. Freel of South Bend was serious
ly wounded by John Peck, a detective
of Battle Creek, Mich., who with
Eldrldge Graham and William McRey
nolds, also of Battle Creek, are under
uwcot. iirci wtta BUUl 111 luo uavn
and Is at Epworth hospital. A mob
burned two cabooses and attempted to
destroy several freight cars but the
arrival of police and fire department
foiled the plan.
A freight train of CO cars was
stalled for seven hours by some one
cutting the air hose and taking the
couplings, and It tied up five passen
ger trains. The police are authority
' for the statement that the stalling of
the freight may not have been the
work of strikers but of men In the
employ of the company, the police
believing that the move was brought
about as a part of a plan tojjet state
troops in the field and thus break the
backbone of the strike by turning
public sympathy away from the
strikers.
A crowd of 1,500 to 2,000 men and
boys, sympathizers, made an effort
Monday night to burn a refrigerator
car that had been switched on a
crossing west of Oliver's Station. The
city fire department succeeded In
quenching the flames after the car had
blazed for 20 minutes or more.
It was evident that the trouble was
brewing early in the evening for the
mob began to congregate at the June
Hon of the Lake Shore & Michigan
Southern railroad and the Grand
Trunk. As the crowd increased in
size it moved west from Oliver's Sta-
tion and when a freight train of seven
cars and a caboose appeared on the
scene an hour later it was greeted
with a shower of stones, spikes and
coupling pins.
As soon as the train was stopped at
the west end of the yards the engine
crew was attacked by several foreign
ers, but the arrival of Assistant Chief
of Police Chappel and a sqhad of po
licemen routed tho rioters for the time
being. Mayor Charles L. Goeta of
South Bend and Sheriff Millard F.
Kerr of St. Joseph county instructed
D. Cromble, Montreal, first assistant
to Grand Trunk chief of transporta
' tion, who has been in this city, that
all local police protection would be
withdrawn from the railroad yards
unless every Plukerton detective was
removed from tho city. The private
- detectives were withdrawn.
Anticipating the possibility of trou
ble in the yards. Governor Marshall
took time by the forelock and ordered
the four companies of the First bat
talion, Third Infantry, Indiana Nation
al Guard, located at South Bend, Ply
mouth. Warsaw and Elkhart under
command to MaJ. George W. Fteyer-
muth o? South Bend to hold them
selves in readiness to move on. to
South Bend at 30 minutes' notice.
. The governor ordered Gen. Will J.
McKee, commander of the state mi
litla, who is in the city, to remain in
South Bend and keep in close touch
with the strike situation. The battalion
for the most part consists of expert
enced men, the officers with very few
exceptions having been in tho service
for from five to ten years.
Mayor Goetz issued a proclamation
urging all inhabitants to refrain from
gathering in crowds on the streets and
o assist in prevervlng order.

It is sometimes quite a problem to
design a house of medium size and
moderate cost for a large family, if
one Is able to put up a residence of
unlimited size with wings and ells and
third-story additions, at the same time
having no thought as to the coat, the
task of the architect in providing suit
able accommodations for all the mem
bers of a large household Is compara
tively easy. All he has to think of
Is the architectural effect; and, other
things being equal, the larger the
bouse the more beautiful and Imposing
It is from an architectural standpoint.
Unfortunately, however, or rather for
tunately, the great majority of home
builders in this country have to count
the cost and have to figure to get the
required accommodations in a resi
dence of medium size and cost.
And it Is just this w hich has brought
the science of house planning to such
perfection during the past four or five
years. Architects have made a spe
clal study of the requirements of the
small or medium sized residence, with
'.he result that today American house
planning has reached a degree of per
fection never before equaled.
The house illustrated herewith Is
one of these designs. In slie 29

report on the county option plank.
This minority report, signed only by
Bryan himself, was short and to the
point, saying simply: "We favor coun

It was In defense of this report that
Mr. Bryan made the speech which will
be called the greatest effort of his
life.
The sentiment towards Bryan was
shown when, for more than an hour,
the convention called upon different
leaders to address it, but not a single
one was made for Mr. Bryan. When

and on Sundays. Karlmrh alleges

the complaint, he says, was this:
"Your a liar acd don't know anything
about it."
Karbach calls attention to the fact
that Mayor Dahlntnn, In a speech on

was being violated all over the state.

members of the board of Are and po

"Thla Is the. third, complaint that
has been filed agatnta these officers,
the charges all being similar, within
the last year. The evidence adduced
upon the former complaints showed
that , there were violations of the
liquor laws in the city of Omaha, but
upon the express promise of the chief
of police that such violation would be
discontinued if they were given an
opportunity to enforce the laws, I
withheld taking any steps to remove
such officers at that time. During
the past two months my attention
has been called to repeated and con
tinued violations of the liquor laws
In the city of Omaha, and I am con
vinced beyond a doubt that there is
no effort being made on the part of
those whose duty it is to see that the
laws are enforced in that city to In
any way eradicate the evil or remedy
the existing conditions.
'This last complaint having been
filed by one who is a member of the
board of fire and police commission
ers, convinces me that the de
fendants named in this complaint are
not acting in good faith with refer
ence to doing their duty in this mat
ter. I am not satisfied that these of
ficers are unable to bring about an
observance of the liquor laws in the
city of Omaha, but on the contrary
am thoroughly convinced that they
have no desire so to do, and are in
fact wilfully neglecting and refusing
to enforce the law.

named herein, for the purpose of ount

positions so held by them."
Attorney General Thompson will
begin his suit at once. Although the
supreme court will not be In session
again until September the taking of
testimony in the case will begin at
