Republican Legislators Held a “Get Together" Meeting Tuesday.

Indianapolis, May 17.—“ Get Together Behind Taft!” was the sentiment that prevailed ,during a conference of republican members of the legislature yesterday at the Claypool lloral, called to canvass the political situation in Indiana as affecting the republican party preliminary to a “get together” movement in which the members of the legislature are to endeavor to unite all factions and bring about a new deal in republican politics. A unanimous sentiment was expressed that President Taft should be renominated. It having developed with the reports- that the republicans of the state are not in such bad shape after all on state issues, the opinion prevailed that if the leaders of the party can get together nationally, Indiana republicans can .be reunited and ought to carry the state.

The meeting amounted to little more than a “talkfest,” at which each of the fifty or more men who attended related conditions as he has found them in his respective county since the legislature adjourned. Similar meetings likely will be held in the future although no time for the next one was set yesterday. The members adjourned to meet at the call of Senator Will R. Wood, of Lafayette, republican leader of the senate, and Representative Jesse E. Eschbach, of Warsaw, republican leader of the house.

Crow Bounty Claims Not Numerous But Troublesome.

The crow bounties are not going to be so numerous apparently as it was thought they would be, but the business may take a boom after the corn is planted. Up to Monday evening there had been a total of 162 heads brought to the auditor's office. t This would amount to bounty in the sum of $16.20. There had also been about a hundred eggs and this would be $5 more, Lee H. Meyers, of Kniman, filed a claim for the greatest number erf crow scalps. He brought in 26 ahd filed his claim for $2.60. Howard Speaks, a Rensselaer boy, brought in the greatest number of eggs. He has a claim for $1.15, for one crow head and 21 eggs. One claim is for only 10 cents and another is for 25 cents for 5 eggs. It is probable that this claim can not be allowed as the law provides that eggs must be 10 or more at one time. Crpw hunting is not proving very profitable and some who had expected to kill a large number of the black robbers have found them •so wary that they have given up In disgust
