At that time a collection will be taken to show the appreciation of the community to Rev. Honeywell and his party for the weeks of work here. So far not a penny has gone to Rev. Honeywell. It is of course right that a man who pours out his life and his energy in such a cause should receive a remuneration therefor. Each person who feels benefited by the campaign should contribute in proportion as he feels able. This you will do we are sure, for Decatur pays her obligations. A marked compliment was paid Senator B. F. Shively, of Indiana, yesterday, when President Wilson visited him at his hotel, where the senator has been ill for several weeks. • Throughout the stirring times of tlec sixty-third congress, it was Senator Shively to whom President Wilson turned more than to any one senator, for support in carrying out the measures he deemed necessary in keeping bis faith with the people. Indiana is signally honored by haling a man of Senator Shively’s calibre in congress and the prayers of all its people will ascend asking his speedy recovery.—Ft. Wayne Journal Gazette.

Tokio, Mar. 24—(Special to Daily Democrat,) —It was learned today that Japan made twenty-one demands cf China, diplomatically intending to withdraw eleven, and eventually gain the ten demands Japan really wanted. The eleven covered practically everything China had left to concede to foreign powers and Japan intended to arouse much great popular opposition that the ten remaining demands would attract comparatively little attention. President Yuan Shai Kai of China according to authorities was then to lead the fight against the eleven demands and apparently achieve a great •diplomatic victory by compromising on the withdrawal of the other ten. This would leave Yuan a hery and at the same time give Japan what it wanted.

ON NEW CHARGES Don Roberts and Three Others Held in Charge by the United States Marshal. ARE CHARGED WITH Tampering and Conspiring to Tamper With Government Witnesses. Indianapolis, Ind., Mar. 24 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —As a climax to a sensational day in the Terre Hauto conspiracy trial Judge Anderson today instructed the United States marshal to take charge of Mayor Roberts of Terre Haute. "I instruct you to take Roberts into custody and 1 instruct the district attorney to prefer against Don Roberts additional charges of attempting to tamper with government witnesses and of conspiring to tamper with them." The court included three other defendants in the big conspiracy trial in his order. They are Judge Smith, Sheriff Shea and Alexander Steel. New bonds for $5,000 must be approved in open court for each man. This action followed the testimony of witness after witness who united to declare that under the leadership of Roberts these four mffii had jailed government witnesses in this trial, attempted to influence the testimony of others and had threatened other witnesses. “And Dennis Shea has been found signaling to witnesses in the midst of this trial,” declared Anderson. “These men made a laughing stock of the restraining order of Judge Cox in Terre Haute," said Anderson, “and they have tried to use the same tactics in but here those methods failed.” Mayor Roberts was taken to Marshal Storen's office and while there Mrs. Roberts and her daughter appeared. Mis. Roberts obtained a blank bond. Indianapolis, Ind., Mar. 24—(Special to Daily Democrat) —Adolph Gagg, confidential agent of Craw-ford Fairbanks. admitted under oath in the Terre Haute election conspiracy trial that Fairbanks ordered him to give $1,500 in cash to Maurice Walsh, treasurer of the democratic central committee of Vigo county. Gagg is secretary-treasurer of the Wabash Realty & Loan Co. Judge Anderson told Gagg to answer the questions directly when Gagg attempted to avoid direct answers. District Attorney Dailey asked, “Where did you deliver this money?” “In my office,’* said Gagg. “I told him that Mr. Fairbanks told me to give it to him.” Under Dailey's questioning Gagg admitted that on registration day he was in Peoria with Fairbanks. Gagg th n admitted that though he was challenged by Mrs. S. C. Stimson on election day he went in and voted. Gagg s excuse was that lie filled out an absentee blank and that he thought it had been turned over to Judge Redman and taken to the polls. Gagg appeared very much contused while answering these questions. —a ... ■ ■ UNITED STATES PROTESTS. Washington, D. C., Mar. 24 —(Special to Daily Democrat)— Through Minister Van Dyke at The Hague, the United States protested emphatically to Germany today against bomb-drop-ping near Belgium-bound released steamships. Tl.e protest followed confirmation from Van Dyke that suc.i an attack had been made on the Elsland from the United States, food laden for Amsterdam. The Elsland flew the American-Belgium relief commission flag. Only skillful handling prevented the ship's destruction. It is believed the aviator made a mistake, which Germany will disavow, as it had promised safe conduct to relief ships. ATTACK SHIP YARD.
