A SUDDEN DEATH Edward Andrews Died at an Early Hour this Morning HEART FAILURE He Lived Here but Was Visiting His Brother at Geneva

Geneva, Ind., June 11.—(Special to Daily Democrat) —Edward Andrews, of Decatur, aged thirty-three years, died suddenly this morning from heart failure. The deceased was visiting his brother Zeph Andrews, at this place, and his sudden death was a shock to them as’ it will be to his many relatives in and near Decatur. The deceased was called about 5:30 for breakfast and answered the call. A few minutes later a peculiar noise w-as heard but before any one could reach his room he was cold in death. Not to exceed fifteen minutes elapsed from th e time the call for breakfast was made until the brother and family gazed upon the lifeless body of Edward Andrews. The deceased was unmarried and made his home in Decatur with his sister, Mrs. Martha Deitsch. He was an exemplary young man with good habits and a host of friends. The sister living in Decatur and the brother in Geneva are the remaining members of the 'family. The funeral arrangement had not been completed at an early hour this afternoon, but interment will likely be made in the Ray cemetery, where other members of the family are buried.

NEAR THE CENTER Indiana Occupies a Good Place in National Convention MUCH IN EVIDENCE Indiana is the Backbone of the Allied Forces

Chicago, June 11. —Indiana occupies a position very near to the center of the stage during the national convention preliminaries. The real strength of the allied, or field, movement is furnished by Indiana men. With thei r support withdrawn the backbone of the allied campaign would be broken, and Secretary Taft 'would have clear and easy sailing. The importance of the game that Indiana men ar e playing on the checkerboard of politics is demonstrated in many ways, and especially by the fact that politicians and newspaper men in search of information seem to gravitate by the most natural sort of process etiher to Joseph B. Kealing or Senator Hemenw’ay. It is taken for granted that what these Hoosier men do not know about the situation from the “field” standpoint is not worth knowing. When the generals and colonels and majors of the field forces want to hold a caucus they flock to Senator Hemenway's room at the Auditorium Annex, and if the walls of that room could talk they could reveal in after years some mighty interesting history connected with this convention. Things have not been going to suit Kealing and Hemenway, but the fact has not disturbed the sweet serenity for which both are noted. They regret that the Taft road-roller is mashing the opponents of the administration's candidate into grease spots, but seeing that it can’t be helped they are not in the least inclined to grow sullen ar.d morose.

Louis Motler, of Mendin, Mich., who visited a few days at Willshire, Ohio, was in the city enroute to Fort Wayne. W. J.
