Nil B lb, • ■ _ ; INTIMIDATING LAND OWNERS IN SOUTHERN INDIANA. WISH THE RENTAL RATES CUT Reign of Terror in Pike County Through Anonymous Threats of Fire and Powder. Petersburg, Ind., Special: With the burning of Albert Capehart’s barn last week, terror among the landlords owning land in the White River bottoms, near Ira, Pike county, is increasing, and there is fear of bloodshed, if the depredations now being committed by alleged night .riders do not cease. The trouble among the landlords and a few tenants has been brewing for some time. Early this spring nearly all the big land owners in the White River bottoms, near Ira, both in Pike and Daviess counties, were warned _ that a secret committee had been appointed to see that ail lands let ; to renters in the White River bottom this season were to be tended so thM the renter would receive twothirds of the crop and the owner onethird. Heretofore the same land was let for three-fifths and two-fifths. Some persons are holding the Farmers’ Co-operative and Educational Society responsible for the depredations, but the officers of that Society in Pike county disclaim all knowledge of them and volunteer their services in seeking out the guilty peri sons. ' That tenants are being frightened tfif farms is shown by the statements' of M. J. Carnahan and William Schrolucke, the first having lost six and the other thirteen tenants within the last few months, the tenants fearing their lives would be in danger if they remained to put in the season’s crop. Sometime ago a proposition was made to Schrolucke by two well-known members of the Farmers’ Union, asking him to. rent 700 acres of his farm in the name of the local society, to be tilled by its members at the one-third rental figure, but the offer was rejected. Some of the land owners are trying to connect the society with the trouble, but can get no evidence whatever to show that Their suspicions are correct.

Thomas Traylqx, of Otavell, who owns over one thousand acres in Pike county, received an anonymous package that had been The package contained a es and a small amount of powder, with a note of warning to the effect that if Traylor did not reduce his land rentals vengeance would be meted out to him by fire and powder. The only reason Traylor can give for receiving the package from Missouri is that friends of the Night Riders who live in Missouri, at the dictation of some persons hero, mailed him the package. The Capehart fire is thought to be the beginning of the reign of fire. There is no clew to who started the fire, but the Night Riders are being held responsible for it, whether guilty or not. The land owners are arming their tenants, and there is no doubt that the movement now has reached a dangerous stage. People fear to travel the night-ridden district for fear they will meet with a band and come tp harm. , It was stated here that a stranger had endeavored to buy a large number of whips at a country store north of this city, and it is now feared that whitecapping is to be added to the other depredations. It has been over twenty years since there has been any whitecapping in Pike county. The grand jury will be called on to make an investigation and every possible means will be taken to bring the Night Riders to justice. Bloodhounds are to be used in trailing and nothing left undone until the Night Riders disband or are arrested.

A severe jolt has been given the predominating styles of spring piillinery by the official board of the First Methodist Church, of ■Richmond, which decided that, women of the congregation must hereafter remove their headgear after seating themselves. So expensive are some of the spring shapes of hats and so profusely decorated are they that a view of the minister conducting services is almost wholly cut off to many in the audience. <■ After discussing the matter the board deemed it advisable to issue the ban on hats and last Sunday the display of spring millinery during services at the First Methodist Church was curtailed. Other local churches may follow the example. Many Murders at the Capital.

COSTLY CHATS BY WIRELESS With Inhabitants of Mars Is Proposed By Savant. Boston, Mass., Special: Mankind may be able to communicate with the inhabitants of Mars in July next, declares Prof. William Henry Pickering of Harvard. This will be made possible by adopting his method of flashing messages when that planet approaches the earth to within 35,000,000 miles, or 5,000,000 miles nearer than ever before, he declares. It will cost $10,000,000, however, to put this method in practical use. Prof. Pickering says that his plan of communication would necessitate the use of a series of mirrors so arranged as to present a single reflecting surface -toward the planet. Turks Slaying Armenians.

JOSEPH THE ONLY ONE Who Ever Cornered Wheat, Says Secretary Wilson. Washington, Special: James Wilson, Secretary of Agriculture, said that the American people need not be greatly worried over the wheat corner. “Every corner of this kind must fail sooner or later,” said he. “The weakness of the position of the man who is trying to corner grain is that he must buy everything that is offered him. The minute he quits buying the corner fails. There never was but one successful grain corner, and that was the one Joseph conducted in Egypt.” Secretary Wilson has taken steps to discredit the Chicago corner by showing that, according to the Government’s official reports, there is a vast deal more grain in the hands of the farmers than the Chicago operators would lead the public to believe. HOVERS OVER ALL CHRISTIANS IN TURKISH EMPIRE. THOUSANDS SLAIN IN ASIA MINOR Two American Pastors Are Victims of the Latest Uprising in Turkey. ' * Constantinople, Cable: While it looks now as if the military forces from the provinces wilhhe persuaded not to continue on Constantinople,- ihoii; demands that the cdnstitimon he upheld having been granted by Parliament; the GovernmeriT seems unable to check the massacre '$pi Christians by fanatic Moslems Minor and other parts of the empire,. The .latest reports are that more than 1,00b persons have been massacred at Alexandretta and Tarsus, and ’ that the burning of towns and slaughter pf Christians are still going on. ’ The Porte is more anxious concerning the effects of the massacre in Asia Minor than the Young Turk ad- ■ vance, and it fears a British, French and Russian naval demonstration. It ’ believes that Russia means to send / warships through tae Dardanelles. ’ Confirmation has been received here s of the killing of two American misr siohanes at Adana.

Adana-is still burning and it is reported that not less than 3,000 persons are homeless at Tarsus.

Si ml jNG THE CIRCLE AND iOME THIS SUMMER. "IVES ITS CONSENT ■■> rip Across the Continent and Up to Alaska Contemplated by Our Chief Executive. Washington, Special: President Taft, who believes the chief executive of the nation should keep in as close contact with the people as the duties and requirements of the office admit, is planning a notable trip during the late summer and early autumn, provided Congress decides to continue the annual appropriation of $25,000 for traveling expenses allowed during the ciobihg years of the Roosevelt administ ratiom The President’s plans for the sumi mer as far into the heated term as have been completed. Mr. leave Washington as soon O t arrange matters after the j ft. Went of Congress, and he has been teJd that the extra session will end June 1. He will go direct from the White House to his summer home at Woodberry Point, Beverly, Mass., and will spend two months or more there as quietly and as free from official worry as possible. Mr. Taft will devote most of his vacation to golfing and motoring, and perhaps will take short cruises along the northern coast. The reassembled Atlantic fleet, of sixteen battleships will maneuver off the New England coast during the summer and the President undoubtedly will want to see this. The trip the President desires to make to the West during the late summer will be entirely too expensive to be paid for out of his own pocket. An outline of the proposed itinerary hasbeen given to a high railroad official and an estimate requested. It is said the cost will be in the neighborhood of $15,000 to $17,000. If he goes West at all the President will include Alaska in the journey, sailing from Seattle, probably on a vessel of the navy or revenue cutter service. No President has ever visited the far northern territory which for so long has been a part of the United States. The President has been invited, and is particularly anxious to attend the following gatherings: • The annual encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic at Salt -UfcOl.., 7;S

The National Irrigation Cpngrat Seattle , and the, Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition in the same* city. to his P r °P°sed visit to the Rocky Mountain States and to the Pacific coast, the President’s tentative plans include a long swing through the Southwest and the heart of the South. . Mrs. Taft, who is as fond of travel as here husband, will probably accompany the President on the tour. Western and Southern Senators and Representatives are particularly anxious to have the President visit their sections, and will do all in their power I to provide the necessary funds, Thev ' believe with the President that such a tour as he proposes to make should be regarde- as an essential factor in the universal desire to keep the people m close touch and sympathy with the government. They believe that the President’s trips through the country and his addresses are as much of a benefit to the people as to himself. ASKED TO BE CRUCIFIED.
