According to Information furnished by the girl., her father haa continued his Ill-treatment for more than a year. untlU unvble to stand It any longer, she sent word to the Sheriff's ollice for help. The girl, who Is only 1 years of sge. has had charge of the family of little ones since tha death of their mother some time ago. The case was heard, before the grand Jury this after noon and Orlmm waa Indicted, and will have his trial next week. WASHINGTON. Feb IS. The first official Indication of what proposed railroad wage tncreasis would cost was given at today's hearing before the railroad wagi commission, when J. A. Franklin presented the claims of the railway employes' department of the American Federation of Labor. "Figuring an average of S3 1-S per cent increase, on the flat Increases asked, the additional cost would be ISI.000.000 annually.' Secretary Lane. chairman of the commission, computed. Mr. Franklin said the estimate seemed correct based upon Increases for 2i0.000 organized men. He also had suggested that sny In creases should apply to unorganized workers of the same trades, numbering about 2SO.00O who were not figured In the rough calculation. The wage basis asked was IS a day for skilled men. such as carmen, machinists and blank smiths: H 60 a dsy for helpers and time and a half overtime, Sunday and holi day work. Life of Iadaatry at Make. None of the witnesses has submitted estimates of what the Increase requested would cost, all apparently taking the position of A. B. Garretson, of the con ductors, who said that It did not matter what the cost would be. since the in creases were essential to maintain the standard of living and that if an industry did not maintain the men serv ing It. the Industry did not deserve to survive. I.ow wsges have been blamed by the witnesses for the exodus of railroad workers to other Industries. Mr. Franklin said the various shop unions he represented had lost IS per cent of their membership to shipyards and still others to munitions factories. Warren S. Stone, of the engineers. told the commission that never before this Winter have the railroads entered the bad weather season with equipment in such "rotten condition" and said that lack of skilled men In shop: was re sponsible for curtailment of output there to 60 per cent of normal. He said there would be no shortage of engines If provision were made to care for motive power. Maay Verge of Quitting. A. K. Marker, speaking for the broth rrhood of maintenance of way em ployes. said his men were on the verge of quitting because they saw living costs mounting steadily without ad vance In wages. Lack of preparation by the railroads to meet the Winter weather was the cause of traffic congestion, Warren S. Stone, grand chief of the Brotherhood of locomotive Engineer, today told the railroad wage commission. Long hours worked by railroad men Mr. Stone denounced as a menace nubile safety. He said i. majority of yards were working on an eight-hour shift until the movement was begun for Increased wages, when the work was lengthened to enable the railroads to show larger amounts paid to em ployes. Employment of women In the place of men was condemned by Mr. Mone. He said women now were being used as engine wipers. Cinder shovelers and for other dirty and heavy work, al though he declared there were plenty of men to fill such positions.

First. Mr. Manahan appealed to the Sheriff for means to depart, according to the official's version, but was told that the Sheriff's car was not avail able. Accordingly he rented a car from a garage, was driven to Heron Lake to take a St- Paul train, paid for the hire of the machine there and left Jackson County, the officials say. at which his liberty was at stake. Not only my own, but his constitutional rights were violated. "I Intend to take steps to ascertain whether the constitution is suspended In Minnesota. I Intend to take steps to see whether the highest authorities of this state will obey their oaths of office and enforce the laws." Two State-seats Conflict. According to County Attorney Nich ols, Manahan far' from being sent from the town of Lakafield to Heron Lake made the move of his own volition, even hiring and paying for the auto mobile which conveyed him.
