STRIKE HELD UNJUSTIFIED President of ITnited Mineworkers Ends Michigan Controversy. I.VDIAXArOLIS, Sept. 19. President John P. White, of the United Mine Workers of America, held today that the strike of the 3000 miners of Bay lty and Saginaw. Mich., was not Justi fied, as the original trouble was subject to arbitration. President White also ruled that the three miners whose dis charge caused the strike should be reinstated and allowed three days' pay for the time they were discharged. The strike was caused by the dis charge of three miners, the Union de claring that the mine owners violated their contract In discharging the men. At a conference in Columbus, O., be tween the Union officials and the op erators on September 22, President White was appointed arbitrator in the case and ordered the men to return to work pending the decision. The hear ing was heid here Friday and Presi dent White reserved his decision until today. WHISKY CAUSE OF SUICIDE Note and Bottlo Beside Body Ex plain Reason for Act. KANSAS CITY. Mo., Sept. 19. A note held down by a. bottle of whisky ex 1'lalned the suicide of Ir. E. M. Law i ence, who was found dead In his of' fire In Independence, a suburb, today after be had taken poison. "This la the cause of It all," the note ran. Dr. Lawrence was 24 years old. His father in Quincy. 111., was notified. A sealed letter lying beside the note and whisky bottle was addressed to young woman In Quincy. then put up a large tent for the boys' and girls' poultry and And additional room for their hogs, goats and sheep. Let not this exhibit lose your attention. But always remember, always re member, never forget, that before you enter the fair gates you pass through Tozlervllle, through a grove as no other fair ground in the world has, and in this grove about 400 tents, occupied by about 2000 people and hizonner, the Mayor. By all means call upon the Mayor. I called on him once too often, for this afternoon when I passed by the municipal building I found hizonner in bad humor. Somebody had crept into the palace during the forenoon and swiped the municipal corkscrew. And I can aver that you can neither draw a cork. from a bottle with your teeth or profanity. I have seen it tried, seen and heard. I left with the royal boot close to my coat tails. Mayor Shows Electric Hen. As you enter the pavilion from the north you will see a few steps to the right a fine looking gentleman who is also a Mayor, the Mayor of Union, Or. I do not wish to disparage or belittle in any way Mayor Tozier by compar ing him with Mayor Withycombe, or Mayor Bob, as his friends call him. Bob Is a mere Mayor, elected by the citizens of Union, just an ordinary, every-day Mayor, a Mayor who tries to obey and enforce the jaws as he finds them, Mayor Tozier makes his own laws and holds his office by divine right. But Mayor Bob will be known to fame, for he has invented, and patented, an elec trical hen, a hen that lays an egg every three minutes every 24 houra in the year, if you keep "her" wound up every day in the year except on St. Patrick's day, for Bob is proud of his race and would not allow even a hen to work on that great day. Perhaps the first thing upon entering the grounds to attract the attention of those who have visited former fairs will be the splendid new machinery hall, erected in place of the roofless, floorless thing that formerly stood upon the same site. The Legislature allowed $3500 to build this structure it cost twice that, but the implement companies paid the difference. It is 100x200 feet, and Is Jammed full of machinery and implements. Don't miss the best fair ever held In the state. The races alone are more than worth the time, trouble and ex pense. Grab a Southern Pacific time table and see when the next train leaves Salemward and come down If only for a day. Remember all Southern Pacific trains atop right at the fair gates. $19 SAVES CITY'S BABES CHILD'S LIFE IX CHICAGO THIS snnrEB valuable.

The cost of sav ing a baby's life in Chicago during the last Summer was S 19.23. according to the computation of Health Commission er Young. In pointing- out the slight Increase in Infantile deaths this year, despite me record-breaking heat and natural in crease In population, the Health Com mifsloner observes: "It is a wise city which recognizes the full depth of its obligations to its child citizens and acts accordingly. Great, hustling, bustling Chicago is awakenlncr slowly. The excess over tne normal summer of 1912 for the entire city was 10.3 per cent, whereas in the years before baby saving campaigns were inaugu rated a different tale was told by tne statistics. In districts covered by the special Rummer service the rate of increase this year over 1912 has been consider ably lower than in uncovered areas. In the 11 wards of the city In wnicn the field nurses of the health depart ment made more than 1000 calls, the baby death rate from the diarrhoeal diseases increased only 3.1 per cent. or 0.6 a thousand of the infant popu lation, whereas in that part of the city not so covered the increase was 21.6 per cent, or 1.9 a thousand. Had the rate of increase in the areas covered been as great as In the areas not covered there would have been 130 more deaths from the diarrhoeal dis eases than actually occurred. Assum ing' this to be the saving effected and computing the health department ex penditures In this work at 2QO, tne cost of saving a baby life was approx imately 119.23, says the report. FRICK GETS FINEST ORGAN Instrument Costing $100,000 Said to Be 300 Years .Old. FA RIS, Sept. 27. What is described as the world's finest organ, an instru ment nearly 300 years old. together with some remarkable specimens of carved woodwork from a room of a house in Chester, England, have been bought by an American dealer for a wealthy collector, supposed to be Henry C. Frlck. The price of the organ is said to be $100,000. The woodwork, which now is cross ing the Atlantic, came from ono of the houses in "The Rows." The room It adorned was designed by Sir Chris topher Wren, at the request of the mu nicipality, for the city's Mayor. The purchaser. Karl J. Freund, a New York dealer, now is in Paris. The carvings are extraordinary. Their grace and richness are said to surpass even those of the great show rooms at Hampton Court. Mr. Freund's other purchase is an or gan made In 1625 by the master artisan Nicolaus Mandeschelt. the organ mind er to the-Nuremberg corporation. The Instrument is of what now is termed large cabinet size. Inside is the maker's portrait and a statement as to his age and honors. Saint-Saens played on the instrument years ago and pro nounced it to be almost miraculous in smoothness, delicacy, and tenderness of tone. Mr. Freund found the organ In an ancient chateau In the Ardennes region of France, where, he says, it has been for more than 200 years. Young Women, Who Say They Knew Rich Californlan Before Raids on Jonquin Establishment, Are Trying to Collect $150,000. LOS ANGELES. Sept. 29. The jury'; verdict, "not guilty," set the million aire, George H. Bixby, free tonight and ended the case of the Jonquil, with Its parade of young girls before grand Jurv and courts, its indictments charg ing offenses against morality and its counter charges of blackmail and tne maintenance of a mantrap by a coterie of young men for the catching of wealthy men. Bixby was tried on one of two in dictments, based on charges preferred against him by Cleo Helen Barker and Marie Brown-Levy, under-aged habi tues of the Jonquil resort, the pro prletor of which, Mrs. Emma J. Good man, is now serving a prison sentence for contributing to the delinquency of minors. The trial began two weeks ago and the jury, by its verdict tonight, vindi cated Bixby in his assertions that he had visited the Jonquil only as a Sa maritan who had spent thousands of dollars to save young girls, and had been requited by being made the victim of a gang of vicious women conspira tors. Attorney Draws Tears. Acquittal was foreshadowed when one of Bixby's attorneys drew a word pic ture of the millionaire defendant in the midst of his family and caused two jurors to cry. The case was given to the jury at 5 o'clock after attorneys for the prosecu tion and defense had argued six hours. The verdict was returned after the Jury had deliberated more than three houra Bixby was charged in the indictment with an unnameable offense against Cleo Helen Barker. Judge Bledsoe, of San Bernardino County, who presided, charged the jury to give the millionaire the benefit of every doubt, but to disregard all al legations of conspiracy or blackmail plot, and convict him if he was deemed gulltv of the offense charged. Bixby Is still confronted by another indictment charging the same offense. but attaches of the District Attorney s office said tonight the case might not be tried. There are also pending against the millionaire a series of damage suits, aggregating $150,000, which were filed on behalf of the Barker and Levy girls and Jeanentte Ellis and another young woman, who said she knew Bixby at the Jonquil as "Mr. King." Defendant Charges Blackmail. These damage suits figured proml nently in the defense Bixby made when he went on the stand and swore he was Innocent of any wrongdoing and had been made the victim of a blackmail plot. Judge Bledsoe also made them the basis for a statement from the bench that the Los Angeles County Bar Association should Investigate the conduct of attorneys who filed the suits. One of these attorneys, W. H. Ste vens, was a witness in the trial and ad mitted that of $2500 paid by Octavlus Morgan, an elderly and wealthy archi tect, to avoid a suit by Marie Brown Levy, he kept $1500 as a fee. The Indictment of Bixby was the re sult of a morality crusade which cul minated in a raid on the Jonquil last April. Mrs. Goodman was Indicted on charges of pandering and procuring, but was permitted to plead guilty to the lesser effense of contributing to delinquency and was sent to the coun ty jail for a year besides being fined $1000. V PRINCESS HITS DANCES Lady Anne Savllle Sees Ruin Facing American Girls Xow. NEW YORK. Sept. 25. Before the White Star liner Olympic sailed for Southampton Lady Anne Savllle. bet ter known as the Princess Lowenstein Werthelm of Paris, characterized the dancing she had seen in this country as disgraceful. "I never saw such dancing in my llfo as I have seen in this country," she declared. "It is disgraceful. It Is not only vulgar, but it is killing to the girls. They are at It day and night and if they keep up this terrible style of dancing these new tangoes and such they will not have am- figures. "It Is destroying their health, and I might say their morals as well. If they continue they will he moral and physical wrecks. 4 think the popular dances I have seen are nothing more than an abortion of good taste, and which will ruin the moral sense. If they keep this up the American girls will fall into 111 fame abroad. They should have recreation of a higher moral tone than the dances that ap pear to be so popular. I think this far-seeing government should have a censor for these dances or have them under some supervision or control." The Princess married Prince Ludwik Karl zu Lowensteln-Wertheim Freu denberg, a Bohemian Prince, in 1897. Two years later he was shot while in the Philippines.
