JACKSON DAY BANQUET ON TAP.

Indianap. > Ap . !>.— There ic a movement on foot among Democrats here to revive the cid Jar ason day base; sets which were a feature of the party <eletrations for so many years. The annua! reunions are needed it is thought. to furnish some opportunity for the Demo< rats of he state to come togriber and discuss politics with the Idea of becoming better acquainted with conditions all over the state. As yet the movement has not taken much form, but it is known that several of the leaders, notably the younger men. are beginning to agitate the question, and it is more than likely that as a result of their efforts a banquet will be given to celebrate Jackson day next year Last year an effort was made to revive the on. custom The iact that the interest all centeied in the contest for chairman of the committee led the politicians to overlook the banquet to a great extent and the affair was not the success that it had been hoped. This year the question of giving a banquet was talked ove but nothing was done. The men who were anxious to try it again this year got together immediately alter their failure and decided to begin the agitation of the subject this fall in time to interest Democrats all ovei the state to such an extent that the meeting is sure to be a success. The benefits of such annual me>Mings cannot be over* estimated. It is poin'ed out by the men who are b"-king the enterprise. As long as the old custom of bolding annual la< kson day banquets was continued the Democrats were In better shape than they have been in recent years The revival of the custom will have the effect of bringing the Democrats of the state into closer touch, it is pointed out. and in this way is sure to better the party. In conne<ti>.n with the recent visit

IT WASN’T GAMING Hammond Magistrate Throws Sheet Writer’s Case Out of Court. Star Witness For the State Testified That Sheets Looked Like Railway Time Tables. Herman Meyer Am D smissed and "Kid" Weller Is Yet to Be Tried. Hammond. Ind.. April 29. —There is no gambling at lakeside according to tbe verdict reached in a Hammond court. Sheet Writer Herman Meyer, who was arrested with ’ Kid" Weller, in the Lakeside ring a week ago. by Chief Cox of Hammond, was tried on the charyc < f yamblina and after hearing the testimony. Justice Hembroff dismissed the case. The dismissal marks the end of the.farcical attempts to stop betting on the Lakeside track. When Meyers ase was dismissed the crusade against Lakeside became a roaring farce. The meeting closed yeste-day. but despite Governor Durbins strict order, betting had g ne on as •* it had never been heard of n In tana. The case ot Kid” Weller is still on the docket. It has been postponed seie:ai times i ■; - s- beduied to come up again riis week. At Meysr s trial an expert witn< s for the state looked over tbe sheets which were taken ; when Weller was arrested and told he j-'.ge that it iookc to h:m like a railroad time-table. The sta’e s witness .1 nut think : anyth.ng else that it resembled. DEFYING B-RNS’ ORDERS Thirteen Factcries St i Operated by Old L. A. 300 Men. Hai ’r . City. Ind..

Rogers was consnl to Zanzibar and after resigning returned to Shoals. He asked for the nomination for state senator from Orange. Martin and Lawrence counties and secured it after a bolt in the convention. Rogers made the ra e anyway, but was defeated, although the district is normally Republican by a large majority. The fight be- ame so ho' that personal animosities were aroused and several per «ona! encounters occurred between beligcrent members ot the two factions Rogers’ defeat left him high and dry on the political sands, and his friends regard his determination to move < nt of the county and go -west as the wisest thing be has ever done.

The coal resources of this state are excellent and it was w ith the idea of appointing a man on the commission who would see that their value and importance, were fully demonstrated at the fair that Mr Fairbanks was named as a member of the commission Mr. Fair-, banks said yesterday he is not vet familiar enough with the work that Isi ahead of the commission to say just: what will be done He Is enthusiastic on the proposition, however that Indiana will make a worthy exhibit at the fair and will give his time and attm-.tion to seeing that this is done.
