GRAND JURY SWORN IN

FEBRUARY TERM OF CIRCUIT BEGUN THIS MORNING.

CRIMINAL DOCKET CALLED

Motion for New Trial in the Case of Dora Bartlett Will Be Argued on February 26.

Judge Piety convened the February terra of the Vigo county Circuit court this morning, and after the gavel had Bounded the criminal docket was called and a number of the docket was called set for trial. The cases that were set fox* trial early in March are in the main eases that were appealed from the justice courts and are of but little importance.

The matter of the motion for a new trial in the case of Dora Bartlett. who •was sent to prison for life, for the murder of Joseph Mehalak, was called and it was agreed that the arguments shall be heard on February 2G, and the attorneys were notified to be ready to present their arguments at that time as the case will be disposed of. The woman has been in "prison for more than six months and all the parties interested are anxious to have the matter settled. The matter was to have come up last term, but the mother of the convicted woman was afflicted with smallpox and the continuance was taken on this account. The atorneys for the woman are confident that they will secure a new trial, and the state's representatives are equally as positive that no errors will be shown and that the records will stand.

After calling the docket, the judge called the grand jury and gave them instructions. After reminding the members of the nature of the oath they had taken., he instructed them as to the work the-y were to perform, lie told them their first duty was to investigate the charges against the prisoners who are in jail awaiting trial, that it was due them and due the public that they should be found guilty or discharged at the earliest possible moment. The rases of the two murders. Newlin and McGrannahan, will be taken tip first.

The judge stated that complaint had come to him about the rowdy manner in which some of the saloons were being conducted, and he said that he wanted the rowdy saloon keepers indicted. He also instructed the grand jury to give special attention to securing evidence and indicting men who carried revolvers and deadly weapons of any kind. He said that the carrying of revolvers was largely responsible for the large number of murders and that society was entitled to protection which could best be given by indicting and prosecuting all who carried revolvers without any authority or excuse for such action. He also ordered the investigation of all the public institutions in he county and all the public officers where there was the slightest ground for suspicion that all was not right. After receiving the instructions the jury was escorted to the grand jury room by Bailitf Owens. The body is composed of the folowing: Herbert H. Creal, Nevins township: Josiah W. D. Wolf, Fayette Charles Ward, Hugar Creek Jehu Lewis, Jonas Strouse and W. P. Ijams, city Mr. Wolf was made foreman. Immediately after entering the room the body organized and began its work. It is expected the session will last two weeks.

WOMAN ROOMER IS CHANGED WITH LARCENY

Mrs. Alice Hammond, who was rooming at Sleith's boarding house, No. 129 North Ninth street, was arrested this afternoon charged with stealing a pocketbook containing about $9. The woman "was a roomer at the place and the other occupants say that they have a clear case against her. The woman is well known in different parts of the city and for a time had rooms over the Owl drug store at Third and Main street. She had only been rooming at the Sleith place the past few days. She denies the charge and says that she will have no trouble in establishing her innocence. Further than this she refused to talk of the affair or herself. The woman is of middle age and has several relatives in the city who are well known. The purse was miss ed this morning, and the circumstances were at once reported to the police station. The subsequent developments warranted the arrest of the woman. She .was sent to jail and will be held pending further investigation.

AGREEMENT IN SIGHT.

Chicago Elevator Employes in a Conference. CHICAGO, Feb. 9.—Steps toward a settlement of the strike of office building employes were taken today when the building managers asked for a conference with representatives of the Teamsters' union, which is now the principal '/factor in the trouble, not apound of coal being delivered to the buildings under the ban. The teamsters have the elevator men's fight their own. taking advantage of the opportunity of forcing the managers to re-sign an agreement that, it is alleged, the managers have broken. The agreement provides for the use of coal for fuel purposes to the entire exclusion of gas. The supply of coal in many buildings is almost exhausted, and unless the trouble is adjusted soon the buildings will go cold.

The elevators in a number of buildings are being operated today by nonunion men.

President at His Office.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.—President Roosevelt, who was confined to the White 'Mouse yesterday by order of his physi-i-'clan on account of a cold, was at his office as Visual this morning. He is considerably improved and expects that all -the effeels of his Indisposition to pass off within a day or two.

VETOES BILLS

CAUSES SURPRISE TO MEMBERS OF BOTH HOUSES.

SUNDAY BALL BILL READY

Morning Session in House Devoted to Routine Work of Bills in First and Second Reading.

(Tribune News Bureau.)

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Feb. 9.—Governor Durbin vetoed the first bills today. Both were senate measures, one legalizing the incorporation of the town of Shirley, Hancock county and the other authorizing the town of East Chicago to raise the per capita tax levy for school purposes separate from city debts. In message announcing his vetoes the governor stated that he could not depart from his decision of two years ago to disapprove of all special legislation which lie characterizes as in violation of the spirit of the constitution. As over one half of the bills introduced at every session are special in that they are made to apply to but one county or city the governor's veto and statement of the policy he will follow caused consternation among the members of both houses.

The greater part of the morning session of the senate was devoted to debate of bills increasing salaries of state tax commissioners to three thousand. The bill came up on third reading but the senate adjourned for lunch before debate was closed.

The Sunday baseball bill may come up on passage in the senate late this afternoon. A large crowd of lobbyists are in waiting for action on this measure.

The morning session in the house was devoted to routine work of bills on finst and second reading.

BODIES OF WRECK VIGTIMS FOUND

(Continued from Page One.)

ioned. That he should have met this tragic death, is a source of deepest sorrow for dozens of friends among the railroad men.

Whether or not the dead engineer and fireman leaped is a question still open to dispute. The chances are that they did, although the bodies were found in advance of the engine instead of behind it, as would have likely been the case in jumping. The theory, in accounting for this is that they jumped just as the collision occured and not soon enough to avoid being thrown forward by the shock. Another theory is that they were hurled bodily through the cab windows and never left their engines at all until thrown from them.

There were three men on the engine of the freight. The engineer, fireman and one of the brakemen of the crew, and all of these jumped. They state that the rumor relating that the fireman had to be dragged from his post, was wrong. The names of the men were W. H. Crise, engineer: N. Cleveland, fireman and J. M. Manwaring head brakeman. Crise was an uncle of Kellem.

On the freight the crew consisted of P. II. Smith, conductor, W. H. Crise, engineer, N. Cleveland, fireman and ,T. M. Manwaring and Edgar Phillips, brakemen Manwaring was the only man on this train hurt, having slightly strained his back in jumping. Brakeman Phillips, who was standing on top of the freight jumped as soon as he heard the warning toot of the passenger's whistle, and sawits headlight.

On the passenger the injuries proved to be distributed in just the reverse order. Of the crew of that train only one •man escaped uninjured. Brakeman L. L.

Hover. The crew was composed of Conductor O. P. Bray, Engineer C. S. Kellem, Fireman John Althoff, Brakeman L. L. Boyer, Baggageman J. G. McMahon. All of these men lived in Indianapolis with the exception of the engineer and fireman

The tracks were cleared so that traffic could be resumed by 10 o'clock yesterday morning. The tracks had not been torn up to any great extent and the work of the wreck crew was chiefly in moving the debris. The wreck crew is working in two shifts, a new one going on every ten hours.

A rough estimate of the damages places them at $10,000. Several freight cars ere smasheu, two engines badly demolished. and the baggage care torn up. The loss in merchandise will not be heavy as most of the. freight destroyed consisted in lumber and this was not damaged to any great extent.

Coroner Tabor will commence taking tho testimony in the case today or tomorrow.

The Wrecked Engines.

The wreckage this morning is being hauled back to this city, and by tonight there will be nothing but a few splinters to remind one of the awful catastrophe on the curve at Broadhurst's mine. The engines which were drawn in. attached to a steel coal car, rested wholly on their driver^, the other trucks and wheels being gone. They stand on the tracks at the east end of the car shops. Of the cabs on the freight engine, the fire box is badly dented. The bells still hang to the boilers but both smokestacks are gone, and the front ends of the boilers are stove in and torn. From the freight engines fire box smoke still issues.

A crowd stood about the locomotives all day, commenting on their condition and talking of the men who rode to their death in the cab of one of them. The car shops officials looked over the engines this morning, and decided what repairs are necessary, and these repairs will be commenced at once. The road needs every locomotive that it can get hold ofj and these will have to be reconstructed immediately. The boilers can be used in the rebuilding, but they are about the only things that remain whole.

All railroad men refer, when discussing the accident to the good qualities of the men who were killed, but there is the feeling among them that it was through their carelessness, jointly with that of the whole crew that their deaths resulted.

Funeral at Effingham.

The funeral of Engineer Kellam will be held in Effingham tomorrow from his late residence and large numbers of railroad men from all points along the line will attend1. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers has arranged for a spec ial car to be attached to .train No. 15 tomorrow for the use of those railroad men going from this point.

Inquest Monday.

The inquest over the victims of the wreck will be held Monday morning at Superintendent Downing's office in the Union Station. Witnesses who Were in the wreck will testify and a verdict will be rendered! the latter part of the week.

The railroad will also make an investigation tomorrow to fix the blame and it is likely that as a result of the inquiry the members of the crew of the passenger will be suspended' for a certain length of time. There can now be scarcely any doubt that it was through their carelessness that the accident occured.

Chief Lyons' Condition.

Chief Lyons of the police department, who a few days ago recovered from a short spell of sickness and had again taken up his work at police headquarters, has suffered a relapse and is now confined to his home with threatened pneumonia.

Tax Sale Today.

The sale of property which has become delinquent is being held at the court house this afternoon. The heaviest buyer is. George Cooper. The sale closes .'his evening.

EVIDENCE OF MURDER

CORONER TABOR INVESTIGATING EAST END MYSTERY.

LUNGS FLOATED ON WATER

Number of Apparent Clews Run Down by Detectives Working on the Case.

Coroner Frank A. Tabor and Detectivcs Smith and Fedderson continued their investigation in the death of the infant child found near the Highland' Iron and Steel mill last Saturday, but up to the time of going to press this afternoon there had been no arrests and the perpetrators of the horrible crime, which will go down in history as one of the blackest deeds ever done in Western Indiana, have so far eluded capture.

The coroner's investigation yesterday was merely a postmortem examination of the mutilated' remains. The lungs were taken from the child and placed in water. They floated easily showing that there must have been breath in them and that the child had lived after birth. It is impossible to tell how long it lived or the exact cause of death but that murder was done is now more evident than it has been at any time. Had' the lungs sunk in the water it would have shown that they had not been filled with air and that the child was still-born.

This afternoon William Hurley, of No. 227 S. Thirteenth and One-half, and Joseph Dougherty of No. 245 South Ninth street were examined by the coroner. Hurley was the first to find the body and he and Daugherty notified the mill superintendent, who in turn sent for the authorities. The men told of the condition of the child when found but were unable to throw any light on the surroundings that might lead to the arrest and conviction of the mother and father of the babe.

The detectives have had a number of c-lews but all have proven futile. It is thought the parents, or at least the moth er and the person who carried the ghastly remains to the gravel pit live near the Highland mill and a close watch is being kept on the neighborhood. Yesterday afternoon a house was visited in which it was thought the crime might have been committed. Red stains resembling fresh blood, were on the floors and walls but it was afterward learned that the stains came from a catsup bottle. The guilty parties may be run down before night.

The body of the infant was buried by Undertaker Hickman this afternoon. Interment was in the paupers' field at Highland' Lawn and the remains went to the graveyard unwept and unthought of by the masses save for the terrible crime that was committed in throwing the little body over the embankment and mutilating it. The burial permit signed by Tabor was for an unknown child, of unknown parents, which met death instantlv through violence from unknown hands.

WILLIARD LARGE ARRESTED CHARGE MAY BE SERIOUS

Williard Large was arrested and sent to jail by Deputy Constable Driscoll, on a charge of assault and battery, but when the case comes up for trial tomorrow, a more serious case may develope. The complaint was filed by William Sanders, who lives on the old tow-path and the victim of the alleged assault is his thirteen-year-old daughter, Lida. It is alleged that Large went to the Sanders home yesterday while there was no one at home, but the girl, it is alleged that he took improper liberties with the child, and and that she wa-s obliged to struggle desperately to defend herself.

VIEWING DEAD CHINAMAN

Remains Will Be Shipped to Indianapolis for Burial. Seu Fong, the Chinaman who died in Terre Haute Saturday, will be taken to Indianapolis next Sunday and buried. This is the first Chinaman who ever died in Terre Haute, and there has been much curiosity manifested in regard to him. A constant stream of people has been going in to see the remains ever since Monday morning. So much of a nuisance has this become that the body has been carried up stairs at Hickman's morgue, and no one is now permitted to see him.

A brother of Seu Fong,, living in San Francisco, was notified of the death of Seu Fong here, as soon as it occurred, and came here immediately to make funeral arrangements. It was decided to take the man to Indianapolis and bury him there, but Chinese superstition prevents his being taken away until next Sunday. In the meantime crepe appears on the door of every Chinaman in the city.

Absent from School.

The following pupils were absent from the High school today: Morning—John Reisinger, Ruby Fuhr, Anna Fiord, John Conner, Edith Rhoads.

Afternoon—Mary Clare, Lora Love, Otis Lewis, Florence Sneyd, Rose Bell, Gladys Darrough, Mary Van Derhoof, Alma Stuckwish.

Returned—Fred Muncie, James Crowthers. v-... Withdrawn—Marie Davis.

Before Judge Piety.

Ethel Summers, charged with larceny, was before Judge Piety this afternoon, but was released on his own recognition. Four incorrigable boys, Henry Issler, Ainos Ward, John Lee and Roy Rollins were also up, but not being ready for trial were sent back to jail until Friday.

MAKES ANEW DEMAND

A VIOLATION

Minister Bowen Emphatically Declares That He Will Not Consent to New Proposition.

WASHINGTON, Feb. "J.—Germany has demanded an entirely new concession, from Venezuela the nature of which thus far has been carefully guarded. When Baron Speck von Sternberg called upon Minister Bowen thi3 morning he presented this new proposition as one to be embodied in the protocol shortly to be signed.

The baron stated that he had received instructions from the foreign office in Berlin to make the new demand, which, however, he had no hesitancy in saying was not in accord with his own personal views. Neither of the diplomats would discuss the nature of the new element that has been injected into the unfortunate controversy, but it is stated by a conipeen aulioriy ha he proposiion is one entirely repugnant to American principles and that should it be pressed, it would likely arouse a storm of indignation throughout the country. In making the demand Germany is backed up by Italy, presumably in accordance with the terms of the Dreibund, although Signor Mayor Desplanches seems even less enthusiastic than does the German minister It is believed that the new proposition involves either an apology from President Castro or his resignation. If thi3 is true, it would be in spirit, at least, a violation of the Monroe docrine.

I would mean interference in the internal policies of an American republic. Whatever may be the nature of the proposition Minister Bowen has already disapproved of and should Germany press the matter he will lay it before Secretary Hay as a mattr of which the United States should have knowledge.

Miniser Bowen old Baron Speck von Sternberg that he was prepared to waive all petty differences in the protocols with the three allied powers, but it is understood1 that he stated emphatically that he would not consent to the new proposition.

Influence of Employers.

Many employes rob themselves of the flower of their employes' service either through lack of tact in drawing out the best that is in them or through pure meanness and brutality of disposition. There is a great difference between work that is done mechanically, in the spirit of a task that must be got rid of, and energetic work, done in the joyous spirit of a creator. It is this difference that measures the distance between success and failure, or. at best, mediocrity.

A hard, exacting, unappreciative employer gets the former kind of service a large minded, generous, sympathetic men gets the latter. An ideal employer interests his employes in their work, from the start, by showing that he is interested in them, by making them feel that he regards them as associates and valuable co-workers, not as mere human machines dependent on his will or caprice. When the faculties are all alert, in an endeavor to do their very best, there is growth and development and, where this condition exists among employes, the results are most beneficial to employer and employed alike, and, incidentally, to the public at large. A man who can arouse the enthusiasm of workers and make them feel that in giving him the best labor of which they are capable they are also benefiting themselves as they could in no other way, is doing a public service. He is a practical educator.

Herman Luken was arrested this 'afternoon for violating the truancy law. It is alleged that Luken, who lives on South First street, has failed to send his ten-year-old daughter to school. The complaint was filed by Miss Mamie Osborne. The accused will be given a trial this evening.

MYSTERIOUS MESSAGES

STANDARD OIL COMPANY ADOPTS PECULIAR TACTICS.

AFTER ANTI-TRUST MEASURE

Senators Are Incensed and Will Denounce Proceedings on Floor of the Senate.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.—A government official in high authority, who declines to permit the use of his name, said this afternoon no less than nine United States senators received .messages from the Standard OU company, requesting the defeat of the publicity feature of the anti-trust amendment to the department of commerce bill. Senators Spooner, of Wisconsin. Hale of Maine, Keane of New Jersey, and Elkins West Virginia, are among those who he alleges received the -messages, some of which came by wire and others by mail.

According to this official some of these were signed "John D. Rockefeller.' soni» "John D. Rockefeller, Jr.,'" others "W alter Jennings," and still others "Rodgers." He stated that he saw several of the messages and knows that the Standard Oil company, in addition to bringing the long distance telephone messages to bear, sent representatives to Washington to work among the senators to secure the defeat of the original amendments. One of the senators who received the request, was so incensed over the attempt to influence his vote that he proclaimed his intention to the official referred to, of denouncing the procedings on the floor of the senate if the amendment seemed in danger of defeat from these underhanded influences.

The Sins of Society.

There is nothing of the spirit of sensational indictment in what Mrs. Julia Ward Howe has to say on the subject of gambling among fashionable girls. It is calm and dispassionate and founded as seems clear on observations which Mrs. Howe's social position enables her to make, for herself. That she has abundant opportunity for seeing the extent to which play may be carried every one knows, and this, of course, lends weight to what she says and secures attention from a class which would treat with indifference such a statement from an 'outsider.'' Very humanly and very sweetly does Mrs. Howe base her plea for a change on the assumption that few persons really are willing to acquire cruel gains through another's losses. When they do this, Mrs. Howe seems to imply very diplomatically, it is through thoughtlessness, and all that such offenders against the "law of being: kind need is to realize that offense there is. With just a few realizations of this generous faith, public opinion will do the rest. Such gentle and wise reflections as those in which Mrs. Howe indulges, recog nizing both sides and all sides of the question, are more efficacious in the end it seeks than such onslaughts as those of Col. Watterson.

Highest Flight of Birds.

Interesting facts as to the flight of birds have resulted from a long series of observations, whose general results have recently been published*. An eagle was observed by Hergessel, of Strasburg, to fly at a height of 9,000 feet. A lark was detected at an altitude of 1,000 feet. Aeronauts have encountered crows as high as 4,200 feet from the earth. These, however, are exceptional altitudes for birds to attain. As a rule 1,300 feet seems to be the limit.

The German Ornithological society has been conducting experiments with pigeons, and finds that when liberated at a height of 9,000 feet down to a little as 2,700 feet, they drop rapidly to a much lower region of the atmosphere.
