Decatur Democrat, Volume 53, Number 15, Decatur, Adams County, 14 April 1910 — Page 2

Indianapolis, Ind., April 11—Governor Marshall cannot see anything but victory ih store for the Indiana democracy this year. He does not believe that the insurgent movement under the leadership of Senator Beveridge will win. He has not changed his opinion because of the ovations Senator Beveridge received last Tuesday. "There are three political clans in Indiana to my way- of thinking,” said the governor. There is one in the republican party that believes in President Taft and the Payne-Aldrich tariff, which is standing, pat for his protective tariff. There is another element in the republican party led by Senator Beveridge that is for protection, but which wishes to put' a limit on that larceny. The third clan is the democratic party, which is against protection for old-fashioned democratic principles of ‘tariff for revenue only.’ ” The governor is convinced that the democratic clan will win be cause he believes the two republican clans will not harmonize. He believes that the standpatters will not support Senator Beveridge on his insurgent platform. The governor takes this view. “The democrats would not care to elect some one to the senate who would be admitted to their caucuses, and who, after getting their secrets, would turn around and use the information against the party. They would hather have a republican senator under such circumstances. In my opinion, there are many republicans in Indiana to do this year but to way about senator Beveridge. They would rather see a democrat in the senate from Indiana than Senator Beveridge as long as the latter is opposed to the present party leadership. There is nothing for the Taft republicans in Inditna to do this year but to take to the timber until after the campaign is ended. This insurgent movement reminds me of the man who makes a fight in his own church because he doesn’t like its doctrines. He wants the church to come to him, whereas he ought to go into the church or quit. It Is a good time for the man to leave the! church when he no longer believes in it Senator Beveridge can’t expect the Taft republicans to vote for him when he is fighting them all the time.” Governor Marshall said that Senator Bever- , Idge’s criticism of the democratic members of congress for voting with , the “interests” in framing the PayneAldrich law will not apply to the Indiana delegation. He says the Indiana members in congress and Senator Shively voted right and that Senator Beveridge can have no room for charges aginst them when he and Senator Shively voted together right straight through the debate. "Senator Beveridge,” said the governor, "is making a mistake. The campaign here is a state matter. There might be some grounds for his charges against the democrats if he and Joe Bailey were, for example, the opposing candidates for president, but he is not making a national campaign.” The governor is getting ready for an active campaign. “I can’t see anything now but victory for the democrats,” said he. “If anything wrong has crept into my administration I don’t know it. If there has, I will find it out. And I don’t intend to do as others have done if there is anything wrong. I would criticise wrong in my own administration the same as I would in any other.” o Charles Poling, a prominent farmer living southwest of-the city, near the Washington church, was thrown from a load of hay and injured about 9 o’clock Monday morning, though no bones were broken, and his escape from more serious injury is considered miraculous. He was driving from the barn-yard on a load of hay and just as he turned to drive out on the pike, a wheel came off the wagon. Mr. Poling attempted to jump, but his feet caught in the boon pole at the end of the load and he fell on his head and shoulders on the pike. He was rendered unconscious, and members of the family who hastened to him, at first feared that life was extinct. Neighbors were called and he was carried into the home. Doctor Thomas was called from this city and an examination revealed no broken bones, though he is quite badly bruised, and it is thought he will get along all right. Mr. Poling is a son-in-law of Joshua Parrish of this city. o - Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Pifer and daughter left Saturday afternoon for Fort Wayne, where they will visit for several days with her sister, Mrs. Robert Hardin, before returning to thHr home at South Bend. Their daughter, Miss Anna, went to Fort Wayne several days ago and they will join her there. Mr. Pifer and family were visiting here with Mrs. Pifer’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Meyers.

Kansas City, Mo., April 11—Dri Bennett Clark Hyde was placed on trial here today for the murder of Col. Thomas H. Swope, millionaire, and benefactor of Kansas City, who presented to the city before his death one of the most beautiful parks in the middle west. The charge of murdering Colonel Swope is but one of many indictments found against Dr. Hyde following the deaths of Colonel Swope, his nephew, Christian Swope, and cousin, James Moss Hunton, as well as the malady of typhoid fever that swept the Swope household and for a time threatened to exterminate the family. It is alleged that Colonel Swope came to his death directly as the result of a strychnine capsule prescribed by Dr. Hyde. At the same time It is alleged by the state that he placed typhoid fever germs in the food prepared for the family with the intention of killing them. As a motive for these deeds the state claims that Dr. Hyde desired to kill off the heirs to tne Swope estate, as each death increased the share which his wife, Mrs. Frances Swope Hyde, niece of Colonel Swope, would inherit. ' ' " O-" ■ Clarence Stevens, aged about eighteen, has a penchant for cashing checks on an imaginary fund in the banks, and whdch prove worthless when presented for payment s For a week or two the lad has been doing this and his kind mother, desirous of keeping her boy out of the toils of the law, has been following him around trying to keep the matter straightened up. So long as there was a chance of her saving him the merchants have not said anything about it, but the affair has become common and it is necessary to uncover the boy’s work, as a warning to the Decatur merchants who have not been caught. The young man has heretofore borne* a good reputation, but discovering how easily his plan worked he has been working overtime at it. He is an electrician and his plan is simply to walk into a store, buy something, or pay a little account, and then give a check for several dollars and get the difference in change. He cashed a check at Fullenkamp’s early last week for five dollars and the next day, before the worthlessness of me check was discovered, went right back and did it over for six dollars with another clerk. This came so easy that he cashed a nine-dollar check at C. J. Voglewede’s, took a pair of four-dollar shoes and got the change. He hired a rig at Schlickman’s and worked off a nine-dollar check and was a real millionaire all last week. His parents heard of the work and the mother hastened around and did her best to <clean up the wrongs. It was thought Clarence would listen to advice and cease his efforts, but Saturday night he cashed a similar check at the Schaub, Gottemoller & Co. store for eleven dollars. While we have due regard for tne feelings of the parents of thls wayward young man, we believe he has had chances enough and we publish this story for the good of him and his respectable parents, as well as for the business men of Decatur, who are hereby warned not to cash any of his checks without investigation.

As each entered he stood against the measure on the porch and paid as an entrance fee five cents for each foot, and a penny for each inch over of his height The collection amounted to about sl6, and this will be applied on the fund for the new church.

One was done in pink,:the centerpiece being a bowl of pink apple blossoms, and over all was thrown a rose-colored glow from the' pinkhooded candles. Yellow and white was the color scheme of the other table, the blossoms and candles and all-..ap-pointments carrying out this color.
