EXAMINED

Effort of Citizens to Prevent Reopening of Slaughter House Heard Before Judge Beal.

Nine witnesses were examined yesterday In Superior Court during the hearing on the petition of Alvin Barnes and Edgar Mechling for an Injunction to prevent Max Heidenreich and eight other defendants from using a building on the Lockport road as a slaughter house. The plaintiff had not rested his case when court adjourned and Judge Beal announced that further evidence would be heard Monday morning at 10 o'clock, at which time all the witnesses not examined were ordered to report.

Earl Allspaugh was the last witness examined. He testified that before the tornado of 1918, when the building then vsed by Heidenreich as a slaughter house had been blown down, he had seen oalves, sheep and other animals killed and that the stench was noticeable. He and practically all the witnesses examined live in the immediate neighborhood of the building.

During- the examination Attorney Rawley, for the defendants, said they would admit in the interest of time, that animals had been killed there. His contention is that should a slaughter house be erected again in the same spot, It would be sanitary and would not be offensive to the neighbors. He alleges and has summoned numerous witnesses to prove that the last slaughter house, was not offensive and that killing was done only on a small acale.

Marion Scholtz, living on South Ninth street, testified that he was bothered considerably by the smell from the house and that at one time he had a chance to trade his property but when the other party to the trade became aware of the fact that a slaughter house was nearby he lost the trade.

Dr. McAllister testified that at the time of the tornado he was a member of the board of health and examined the building, which' at that time, he said, was~nnsanitary.

Other witnesses called were Walter Collins, Alvin N. Barnes, Noah Brill, C. H. Garmong, C. I Fidlar, John McClure and John Wiley.

PATSY PUTS ONE OVER.

8ummer Without Patsy Would Be Nix for Brazil Folks Z'fThe Brazil Times has this to say of a •well known citizen of these parts: "Patsy, the cracker .iack man, who purchased the exclusive stand privileges for the Fourtn of July celebration at Oak Park Monday, has decided to show his generosity to the people of Brazil by giving them a free band concert at Oak park Sunday afternoon. Patsy has engaged the Brazil concert band to furnish the music and a patriotic concert will be rendered by this organization. "The open air concert will be free to all and Patsy issues a cordial invitation to all to come out and enjoy the concert. "Incidentally the sale of the exclusive stand privileges to Patsy by the Fourth of July committee has caused quite a howl to go up from local people who would liked to have had a finger in the pie. "A number of local citizens and business men who usually establish stands when there is anything doing, are much incensed at the action of the committee and have consulted attorneys to see what they can do to break the combine. However, it is understood that they have been informed that nothing can be done as the committee has full power over the grounds through permission from the city."

BOARD BUYS MOTOR TRUCK.

Purchases Combination Wagon for Fire Department. At a special meeting of the board of safety held yesterday afternoon, the new White automobile fire truck, which has been in the city several days, was purchased for $4,620. The truck was ordered through Wilber Chappelle, the local agent, and a few days before completion the order was cancelled. The truck was shipped to the city, and it has been under inspection since its arrival. It is a combined hose and chemical wagon, and it will be stationed at station No. 6, Thirteenth and Crawford streets.

gubernatorial nomination but it is understood that he is playing a "dark horse" game with the hope that the state convention will have to make the nomination in case no one receives a majority in the primary. In the event of Bookwalter becoming a candidate it is likely that the race will be between him and Goodrich.

While the Goodrich and the Beveridge in politics ha\e never buckled up, the Goodrich leaders make no bones abcut declaring that Beveridge is now where he will not be -able to detract from the Goodrich movement in any appreciable degree.

Wm. H. O'Brien, of Lawrenceburg, former state auditor, is going along quietly as a candidate for the democratic nomination for governor and he is a favorite for the place. The only opposition mentioned is J. K. Rigk, of Lafayette, whose boom is lagging.

Marion County Cases.

Almost without exception the democratic newspapers of the state are standing behind the men who were Indicted by the Marion county grand 1ury on the charge of conspiracy to commit election felonies. No democratic newspaper has taken it for granted that the situation her warranted a wholesale indictment of democrats for alleged frauds.

Indianapolis has not been free from reports that fraudulent methods were employed to carry elections. For years the republican leaders here were accused of voting the negroes illegally and of importing negroes to use on election day. It was all right as long as the republicans benefited thereby, but when they lost out it was different. Then they became strong for reform— tt didn't hurt them when there wasn't much chance for their party.

It is easy to recall the alleged frauds that have been perpett-ated by the reoublicans, for which no indictments have been returned. The year, that "Jim" Watson was- elected for governor and "Jim" Hemenway for the senate it was charged that foreigners were voted by the hundreds in Lake county. The scandal attached to the voting of foreigners in Lake and otner twenties in that campaign by republicans is still well remembered.

Of course the republicans who are now yelling about purity of the ballot have forgotten all about the frauds they perpetrated in 1909 and otner years in hopes of electing their.favorites to office. Just as soon as they get a chance they begin to lay plans to bring about the discomfiture of the democrats and some of their allies are expressing surprise and regret that the democratic newspapers of the state are not pounding T. Taggart, Mayor Bell and others because they have been indicted here.

Almost without exception the democratic editors take the same view A few republicans have been indicted here but as a rule they are men who hold some position under the administration of Mayor Bell.

Not Like Federal Cases.

The fact that many of the republican editors of the state have not taken a big fall out of the democratic party because of the indictments is also a source of displeasure to certain people. The general tone of the editorial

comment is that if there has been fraud here it ought to be punished but the wholesale indictment of men without making charges of committing overt acts seems to have caused many of the editors to withhold judgment.

The men under indictment are to be arraigned here July 7. The chances are that none of them will be tried before fall. It can, be stated as a fact that separate trials will be demanded by all of the defendants. It should be explained that there is a difference between the federal and state laws. The federal laws provide that where there is an indictment for conspiracy there men indicted shall be tried together. Such was the case with ippnn M. Roberts and others indicted for frauds at Terre Haute.

But the state law is different. Where men are Indicted for conspiracy the law provides clearly that any defendants may demand a separate trial before the jury Is sworn. And the court has no jurisdiction to prevent separate trials. This has been decided in a number of instances so that even if there was a disposition to try the men in a group the law? and the decisions of the higher courts would be to the contrary.

Great weight is attached to the fact that the federal grand jury which indicted Roberts and others at Terre Haute investigated the Indianapolis situation, examining the witnesses suggested by the republican leaders— but on the final show down the federal grand jury was unable to return an Indictment for conspiracy.

Shively Improved.

Word has been received here this wec,k that Senator Shively has been able to leave the hospital in New York. He underwent a surgical operation there a short time ago, and it was reported that he might not recover, but according to the letters he has written friendw here his condition is no longer alarming. He expects to spend the summer in Pennsylvania-

Vice President and Mrs. Marshall left today for Hot Springs, Ark., where the former will deliver the Fourth of July address. The vice president and wife will remain, at Hot Springs for several days. The vice president has made engagements for a number of speeches in August and September.

Senator John W. Kern has made arrangements to spend the Fourth of July at his summer home in Virginia. He expects to return to Indianapolis early in August.

Fairbanks Boom.

The close friends of Charles W. Fairbanks who are quietly pushing his candidacy for the presidential nomination are receiving much encouragement. They are hearing from prominent republicans in many states who regard him as the logical candidate. Fairbanks has not been seeking the limelight. On the contrary he is pursuing his usual quiet way, which is not calculated to attract a great deal of attention from the newspapers. Republican leaders generally in Indiana arc of the opinion that Fairbanks stands a very fine chance of landing the republican nomination. Early in the fall it is likely that some steps will be taken by the state committee to launch his candidacy. There is no doubt but that Indiana, will be behind Fairbanks with a great deal of enthusiasm. The republican leaders are confident that he stands a good chance and they doirt want to lose it by sending a luke-warm delegation to the national convention. The situation is much better for Fairbanks than it was in 1908, when he was crushed by the Roosevelt road roller. At that time the Beveridge faction of the party worked against him and made it difficult to elect delegates in some of the districts. The Beveridge faction no longer exists in the republican party to worry the Fairbanks boomers.

Other Candidates.

Eben H. Wolcott, a member of the state tax board, has announced his candidacy for the republican nomination for secretary of state. Wolcott is a well known business man. He formerly was a member of the state senate. He has served on the tax board for several years and has come to be regarded as an expert on taxation questions. He has accepted an invitation to deliver an address before the American taxation congress in San Francisco during August.

Wolcott believes that reforms are needed in the taxation system in Indiana, and he is going into the campaign with a platform entirely different from any ether candidate. He wants to give his time to taxation matters. His opponent is Judge Ed Jackson, of Newcastle, who was on the republican ticket in 1914 for secretary of state.

All of the men who ran for state offices on the republican ticket in 1914, with probably one or two exceptions, have one to three opponents who propose to make a fight in the primaries at which the delegates to the convention are nominated.

Explained by Manager

Housewives of Terre Haute can reduce their meat bills by purchasing pieces from the chuck, plate and shoulder, J. P. Cannon, manager of the local branch of the Morris company, says.

"This makes the boiling meats cheaper. Women can reduce their meat bills by purchasing portions of the chuck, shoulder or plate. These cuts contain excellent meat and are good."

This is the third episode of Frank J. Holland's thrilling Terre Haute photo drama, "The Mysterious Tribune Girl." Fifty dollars is offered for the solution of the mystery, $25 for the best suggestion for the fifth episode, and $25 for the solution of the mystery surrounding the girl.

THIRD EPISODE. It was a sudden transition for Tommy Gray (Fred

Murphy), the Tribune "newsy," from selling papers on the. hot pavements, to a seat in the big roomy Reo, where "T he Mysterious Tribune Girl" had placed him, but

when he looked up into her kindly eyes, and heard the gentleness of her voice, his heart grew bolder, for the mysterious personage in whom the entire city was interested had shown an undisguised interest in him, and as the car rolled on toward his home, Tommy unburdened bis heart, and in his boyish way told her the tragedy of his young life. It comprised the old story of a worthless father, a hard-working mother, with an array of small children dependent upon her alia Tommy for their maintenance. During its recital she learned Tommy offered his aid by selling papers, the revenue ofttimes being taken from him by his father. To make matters worse, his baby brother was lying dangerously ill. As they neared the house, the father, coming from a saloon, espied Tommy in the caf and made frantic effort to get to him. but was prevented by the interference of George, the chauffeur. Upon arriving home, Tommy's younger brother and sister. stared in wonderment at his arrival in such state, and when Tommy rushed to them and displayed the money given him by the "good fairy," they were certain it all was a dream. Their joyousness was short-lived, however, by the arrival of the father (George W. Mahare), who had followed them who, after scurrilously denouncing "the girl" for her interference in his domestic affairs, proceeded to take the money from Tommy. The expostulations of "Miss Tribune" were in vain, and as sne had about given up in despair, sne saw Donald Remington walking up the street toward them. Taking in the

THIRD El'ISODE.

Tfcis order was given by

Police have been given strict orders from Chief Doyle not to allow any explosives of any kind to be fired either Sunday or Monday, and it is possible

situation at a glance, Remington ran to her assistance, and, forcibly, compelled Williams to return the money to his boy. In the midst of this scene Dr. Duenweg emerged from the house. The sight of the doctor sobered 'Williams, arid huskily he ^sked for news of his baby. 'Mid tti$£ silence of the scene, the doctor's words, "Bill, your baby is dead," fell like a thunderbolt. Williams' former bravado ^as gone, and, grasping Duenweg by the arms, stammered, "Dead! Doctor, don't tell me he is dead!" and, leaning upon Remington, permitted himself to be lead into the house. Several weeks have elapsed. The hunting spirit is upon Tommy. Shouldering his rifle he makes for the woods in quest of game. In a field opposite Highland Lawn, while kneeling for a snot, nis eye fell upon a box lying partially hidden in the grass. Seeing the name Swope & Nehf on the outer cover, he surmised its value, and hastened to town. Unfortunately, he encountered Duke Dyson, who recognized the lost jewel box, snatched it from his hand and made for the Vandalia railroad yard3. By a lucky chance Tommy ran into Remington and Houff, and, telling them of the occurrence they started in pursuit, arriving in time to catch a glimpse of Dyson boarding a freight train for Clinton. Unable to catch him. Remington boarded a traction car to head him off at Clinton, while Houff hastened to headquarters to notify the Clinton officers by wire, and to inform Miss Tribune of the latest theft of the jewels. This time, in event of Dyson's capture, she asserted she would not interfere with hi3 punishment. Upon returning to her room she dejectedly removed her hat, coat, gloves, and, as her head sank wearily upon her dressing table, the partially removed mask disclosed a tear-stained cheek, while the quivering lips indicated the sorrow Dyson's latest escapade had brought her.

some of the night men will be called to work extra time during the day to prevent any violations of these orders. "I believe in celebrating the Fourth of July just as much as anyone else," said the mayor yesterday, "hut I believe the time has come when dangerous fireworks must he omitted. Our forefathers who proclaimed the independence of this country on July 4, had gone through untold misery and suffering, and lives were lost by thousands in order that the independence might be proclaimed. Others were injured and maimed. Why should we, in honoring those brave men's memory, suffer our little children to be Injured and possibly killed? Let them fall more into the spirit of Independence day and think less of the flashy, dangerous old Fourth."

Beal to Hold Court.

Judge Fred Beal, of the Superior Court, announced at the close of yesterday's session that he would hold court Monday morning. He said the number of cases on the docket demanded that every effort possible be made to dispose of them during the summer months.

Other offices of the court house which will be open for business Monwho begin their new term, the sheriff's office, the board of reviews, which will also be open Sunday, and the county clerk. The offices which will close are those of the treasurer, recorder and auditor.

While the ^hurches will observe Sunday services In observance of Independence day, a number of picnics and outings have been planned for tomorrow. The Smith Park Methodist church, near Stop 5 on the Paris !nterurban line, will hold an all-day outing. The Rev. Sweitzer, of the Methodist church south, will deliver a sermon at 10:30 o'clock. Miss Loretta Simpson, a, returned missionary from Egypt, will speak In the afternoon. Ice cream will be sold on the grounds.

Fraternity Plans Boatrids. Members of the Beta Phi Sigma fraternity will hold their ninth annual river day celebration during the day.

CARNIVAL CO. PULLS STAKES.

Dispute Brings Officials and Writ, But Trouble Is Adjusted. The Con T. Kennedy Carnival company closed its week stand in Terre Haute last night, but for a time Its departure from the city seemed likely to be delayed as the result of a controversy growing out the settlement with the Moose lodge, under whose auspices the carnival appeared here, which brought to the scene Prosecutor Werneke and Justice Madigan, the latter with a writ of attachment.

The company complained against sejven private1 stands across the street from the carnival grounds, and wished to hold out of the Moose lodge share $10 for each. This proposition was rejected, and the justice appeared with Constable Frank Jackson, who served writ of attachment on the carnival management and A. F. Wegrich, yard manager of the Vandalia railroad, over which the shows were to move. The matter was adjusted amiably, however, by the company receding from Its position, and the trip to Toledo, O., where the next stand will be made, was begun at an early hour this morning.

MOTORMEN'S NEW SPORT.

Have You Been "Skidded" Yet Trying to Board a Car. The motormen on the city cars have a new sport. They call it "skidding them." While the cars now stop at the near side of the street, some agile citizens try to stand at: the far sidfe and swing on the running board. The object of the motorman is to try to cross the opposite side of the street at top speed and "skid" anyone who tries to get on except at the usual place. One motorman on the South Third street line "skidded" four on his way up to Wabash avenue. The person "skidded" usuallj alights on his hands and knees and sometimes bumps his face, something like the initiation of tlie old Prince Orients. The motormen have great fun out of it. The motoi man said no damage could stick as you are not supposed to bos a car while it is in motion.
