INDIANA VETERANS RUSH FOR PENSION INCREASE.

Congressmen Flooded By Applications For Blanks; Majority of 32,0 UM Veterans Benefitted. The signing of the new pension law by President Taft last Saturday night caused a rush of Indiana veterans to get in their applications for increases in pensions. Offices of all Indiana members of congress are literally swamped with requests for application blanks. It is estimated that there are about 32,000 veterans in Indiana, a large majority of whom will be benefitted and receive increases under the new law. The house pensions committee will be very busy thfr next ninety days as there will be nearly a half million applications filed under this new law. It may be many months before the merits of the claims of some of the veterans are passed upon, but their increase, if they are entitled to any under the law, will date from the time of the filing of their applications.

George Ade’s Reply to The New York World.

George Ade’s boom for governor of Indiana, launched by Representative Crumpacker recently, has attracted so much notice that the editor of the • .; j ■ v_- , • New York World thought it would be a good idea to ascertain by first hand information if there, is any likelihood that one of Indiana’s literary stars would be chosen Governor Marshall. Accordingly a telegram was sent-to. Mr. Ade, asking him what his feelings are in regard to the matter; This is his reply, wired from Brook: “I have no wish to be governor of my beloved starts. I have even less of a wish to be a candidate for governor. At the same time I have no earthly objection to being mentioned for the governorship. “During the present rainy spell, which has delayed planting of corn, we sit around and mention our friends for the governorship. It is our principal indoor sport. Everybody’s doin’ it, doin’ it, doin’ it.. Sometimes a man with a particularly keen insight into the possibilities of the autumn, mentons an enemy. “The suggestion that I might under certain unforeseen conditions become a candidate, has brought mirth and laughter into many homes lately saddened by internal dissensions of our party. It has caused no inconvenience to friends and has not alarmed others. It will permit the biographer to say in my "obituary notice, ‘ln 1912 he was mentioned for the governorship.’ Therefore, it is a good thing. “After all, I would rather be mentioned for the governorship tuan be elected governor, and then keep on being mentioned. With this kind explanation I shall retire to the storm cellar.

HOUSE WILL HAVE NAME IN HISTORY,

Will Be Known as the “Investigating Congress;” Democrats Have Spent $70,000 in “Probes.” • This house will go down in history as the “investigating congress.” Such at least is the opinion of Minority Leader Mann. “The democrats have spent $70,000 in investigations,” the militant republican leader declared. Today the house is In the throes of several investigations, with several more concluded and still more threatened. Never have so many house “probes” occurred during a single session In Washington. Just now the “money truSt” is being inquired into by three house committees, the banking and currency, the interstate commerce and judiciary. The “shipping trust” is being probed by the merchant marine committee. The “steel trust” investigation by the Stanley committee is practically concluded. Also the Florida everglades investigation has been finished. Other investigations ahead are the smelter trust and baseball trust inquiries. The woolen trust has temporarily, at least, escaped threatened investigation as a result of disclosures before the rules committee during its investigation of the textile workers’, strike at Lawrence, Mass. Campaign material galore Is being ground out and polished off hy the official congressional investigators, who are aided by “experts” of many kinds, statisticians, attorneys and rooms full of clerks,
