AHENDANCE TO BIG

Great Crowd At Sunday School Meet May Result In Delegate Plan— Officers Are Elected.

LOGANSPORT, Ind., June 17.—The Indiana Sunday School association elected officers today. W. C. Hall, of Indianapolis, was elected president for his nineteenth term. The other officers are all Indianapolis men as follows:

Vice president, E. H. Hasemeier recording secretary, George P. Harvey treasurer, Charles S. Dearborn. Among the directors chosen is John Andres, Evansville.

The budget for next year calls for $9,000 of which $6,000 will be raised by apportionment among the counties, and 13 ,000 is to "be obtained by piedgeu subscriptions from county and class organizations and from individuals.

It became necessary again today to hold three general sessions at the same time and in different churches, as there was not a church in the city large enough to hold all the delegates. The three churches were filled to their capacity.

The officials of the association say the great growth in attendance may make it necessary in the future to select delegates to the annual meetings. This convention is really a mass meeting of Indiana Sunday school workers, the doors being open to any one who will register as representing a Sunday school. But the delegate plan will mean that Sunday schools must elect delegates and give them proper credentials.

istering illegal votes. Hines answered that he was to get the co-operation of the colored saloonkeepers and register votes from their places of business. Again the answer was struck out on a motion by Attorney Williams. This seemed to disconcert Attorney Blankenbaker, and after a brief consultation with other attorneys at the plaintiff's table, the witness- was asked what arrangement he had with Donn M. Roberts and others with reference to illegal registrations. Williams this time objected to the question, saying that it was too vague, and requested the attorney to name the "others" in the question. The plaintiff attorney rose, but when he began to argue about the wording of the question Judge Sunkle sustained the question, and Blankenbaker sat down.

At this point there was an argument at the plaintiff's table among the attorneys and Blankenbaker, with some heat, said: "Never mind, we will get to this yet, don't get excited."

Blankenbaker then asked about conversation Hines had with Roberts before the registration concerning the registration in the precinct. The witness said that Roberts told him he would expect 700 registrations from the precinct and Hines said he asked Roberts where he was to get them. Roberts, said the witness, told Hines that he would receive the co-operation of the colored saloon keepers, namely George Evans and Ben Murray. Blankenbaker then asked what arrangement was made but the witness was not allowed to answer when an objection from Williams was Interposed. The qufestion was withdrawn.

Blankenbaker then asked the witness how many false and illegal registrations were procured in the precinct, but again an objection was made on the grounds that it was assumed that false registrations were made, while so far the witness' had not testified to the fact.

Hines Registered 100.

The objection was sustained. The witness was then asked how many im aginary persons registered in the pre cinct and Hines gald there were none as each application entered on the books was brought there by a man. The witness testified on further examination that about 100 were registered from Hines' three houses on North Second street, but said he did not know how many really lived there. The witness said 786 were registered from the precinct.

The witness was asked If he used repeaters during the registration and said: "Yes, we would have to if we got that many In, there are not that

TERRE HAUTE TRIBUNE

RUSS AYRES' OWN STATEMENT

Another Terre Haute Woman Improved by Tanlac.

New Medicine Produced Remarkable Change in Her Case.

Preparation's Representative Says Many in Cities Like This Are Likewise Affected.

One Interesting statement after another is now being made in connection with the introduction of Tanlac, the new medicine that is accomplishing such remarkable results In Terre Haute and other cities. Miss Edith Ayres, 416% Ohio street, Terre Haute, Ind., made this statement Wednesday afternoon: "I have suffered from stomach trouble for several years, also constipation. In-addition I had catarrh of head, nose and throat. I was also all run down and depressed in spirits. My nerves were all unstrung and'

I had headaches.

"After taking Tanlac for about a week or ten days, I now feel very much improved. This mediqine accomplished results in my case and I certainly do recommend it to every one."

The Tanlac representative, who is meeting the public daily at Buntln Drug Store and explaining the merits of the famous medicines, in commenting upon Miss Ayres' statement, said: "Most of the so-called stomach, liver and kidney troubles are due almost entirely to a catarrhal Inflammation of those organs. The constant coughing up of mucug, dull, throbbing headache, pains in the pit of the stomach, side and kidney region, lost appetite, gastrits, nervousness, lost ambition, depression of spirits and the constant contracting of hard colds and cough, are among the numerous symptoms of this distressing condition from whloh so many in all cities like Terre Haute suffer."

Tanlac was designed especially to correct that very trouble and to bring back color to the oheeks and the sparkle of health to the eyes.

many people in the precinct." He said also that Phil Long, an attorney, brought down some absentee blanks during the registration.

When the plaintiff's attorney sought to probe into the alleged fund collected from the saloon men of the Sixth ward to pay the alleged repeaters, he piet with objection from Attorney Williams. Williams said the evidence was Incompetent and Irrelevant in this case and should not be admitted, besides calling for a conclusion of the witness. Judge Sunkle said: "Yes, I can't see the materiality of such evidence," and sustained the objection.

Hines then told about the card system used In paying the voters and told of the substitution or brass checks for cards when it was discovered that some of the men wqre being paid when they had not voted.

Blankenbaker then went Into the events early election morning before the election board was organized. He asked the witness if he saw the board before they came to the polling place and Hines testified that he saw the entire board come from Jack Tierney's saloon on Wabash avenue before the polls were opened and that they came directly down the alley to open the place for voting. He said he asked Harms how he got along and the witness was then asked the purpose of the question addressed to Harms. An objection from Williams was sustained.

Change of Voting Place. Hines was then asked if there had been any marked migration of the negro vote since the election but an objection from Attorney Williams was again sustained. The form of the question was again changed and the witness was asked if there had been any voters moving in or out of the precinct since the election and the witness answered that he did not know. Hines volunteered that there oould not be more than twenty-two negro voters In the precinct, but the assertion was struck from the record.

At the close of his direct examination the witness told of the events which led to the polling place being changed from North Fourth street to North Second street the day before the election. Hines said the man who owned the building where the election was soheduled to be held refused to let them have the room and then It was found that the room was too small to accommodate the machine. He said he and others went to the county commissioners the day previous to the election, and as soon as possible after having found out that the original place could not be used and told the commissioners of their predicament and were advised by them to change the polls. He said the change was advertised the day before the election.

Little time was spent In the cross examination of Hines by Attorney Williams. Hines testified on a direct examination that 150 men voted more than once in the precinct, but when asked about the statement by Attorney Williams, he said by this he meant that there were 150 men in the precinct who went to other precincts to work.

Other Witnesses Called.

Early In the afternoon the deposition Paul Dennis was read, in which Dennis said he voted in some of the Vower precincts of the Sixth ward. He said, however, on a cross-examination, hat he did not handle the machine and did not know, of his own knowledge, whether he had voted or not.

John Smith, progressive clerk in Precinct C, of the Sixth ward, testified ls to the illegal voting in his precinct

said that only one lived in the precinct. On a cross-examination Attorney Williams brought out the fact that although a member of the election hoard, the witness did not know the boundaries of the precinct and that Me only knew about 10 of the legal voters of the precinct. Attorney Williams then said: "In face of the .tact that you only know 10 of the voters vf the precinct, you presume to tell •.his court that only one negro in the entire precinct is entitled to vote?" The witness said that was the only one he knew of.

Mrs. Barbara McGInty, 821 North Third street, testified to having no boarders, although 21 men were registered from her house.

Dr. John Hewitt, who was republican •jandldate for coroner In 1912, testified Miat he saw men enter the polling place in Precinct C, of the Sixth ward, more than once. He said "Bull" Conway was orderly all the time he was there.

After a short recess, Albert Mast was placed on the stand in the afternoon. He is one of the eight men who arrived this afternoon from the Marion county Jail. He testrned on a direct axamination that he voted in his own precinct, of the Prrst ward, and in A and of the Sixth ward. On a crossexamination, however, he testified that he never went around behind the nachine in either of the Sixth ward precincts and could not swear that he had voted or that any vote had been counted for him. The same was true of William Headley, another of the prisoners who said he voted in his own precinct, of the First ward, and in of the Sixth ward.

The prisoners who arrived this afternoon from Indianapolis were Frank "Buster" Clark, "Kid" Kiser, Frank Lockwood, Walter Coordes, Ad Rodgers, Albert Mast, William Headley and Elmer Conover. The men are in charge of Deputy United States Marshals Rankin and Barnhart.
