AUSTRIAN  WOMAN  BACK
TO  ST. LOUIS  CROSSING
----------
Federated  Charities  Decided  the
Problem  Should  Be  Settled  by
Bartholomew  County.
----------
          The Federated Charities of this city following a conference Tuesday afternoon decided it was not its duty to relieve Bartholomew county of the responsibility of caring for  Marie Forauer,  the Austrian woman found in a barrel at St. Louis Crossing, last Friday, and she was sent back to that place Tuesday evening in the care of  William Mount,  who had brought her here and who has been keeping her at his home.
          It appears that there was a deliberate attempt on the part of certain Bartholomew county officials to unload the woman here on the theory that some one is running a private charitable institution in this city.
          In reference to the case the Columbus Republican of Tuesday evening gave this story:
          "This Austrian woman, who has been at St. Louis Crossing since last Friday night, was sent to Shelbyville this morning, where she will be placed in a charitable institution for the present.
          "Peter McQueen,  trustee of Flatrock township, arranged for the trip and says he believes he has acted for the best.  Mr. McQueen is inclined to think that his position in the matter has been misunderstood.
          "I wanted to send her to Shelbyville where a woman runs a charitable institution.  That was my idea about it when the case was called to my attention,' he said. 'I had no intention to merely shipping her to Shelbyville and turning her loose there to freeze to death or starve.  But some of the St. Louis Crossing people took the case out of my hands and went down to Columbus to see what they could do.  They learned there that what I had told them about the law was right and then they became convinced that my plan to send her to Shelbyville was the best one.  I made arrangements with the woman who has charge of the Shelbyville institution to meet the Austrian woman at the train and to take care of her.  I have arranged to pay William Mount for caring for the woman while she was at St. Louis Crossing and I thnk I have done the best for all concerned.  The foreign woman will get the proper care and attention and it is better to send her there than to try and force her into the poor asylum in our county.'"

LOST  CASE  BEFORE
INDUSTRIAL  BOARD
----------
William  Mount  Takes  Noth-
ing  In  His  Claim  Against
William  Robertson
----------
(From Monday's Daily.)
          William Mount,  of this city, lost his case before the Industrial Board of Indiana in which  William Robertson,  his employer, and the Hartford Accident & Indemnity Co., the insurance carrier, had been made defendants under the workmen's compensation law, and which was tried here August 9, 1916, before  Charles R. Hughes,  a member of the board.  The suit was based on alleged personal injuries while the plaintiff was in the employment of Mr. Robertson, and the claim was for about $25.  The plaintiff was represented at the hearing by  Walter Reece  and the defendants by  H. F. Harvey,  as attorneys.
          The finding of the member of the board is in the following words:  "And said member having heard the evidence and being duly advised in the premises finds for the defendants.  It is therefore considered and ordered that the plaintiff take nothing by his complaint herein."
          The plaintiff under the law may demand a hearing of the case by the entire board, but must so appeal within seven days.  His attorney stated this afternoon that the matter of an appeal had not yet been determined.
