TUTEUR BRYAN MAY NOT BE MEMBER OF CABINET •' i •. Opinion Grows That Great Commoner Will Not Be Too Closely Allied I to Wilson Administration. r Cabinet makers are busy and while ‘ many have insisted that William Jennings Bryan will be the secretary of state in President Wilson’s new cabinet, it Is said that no such plan exists and that it is quite probable that Mr. Bryan would not accept that or any other office. The reasons seem good and sufficient. Should he become a member of the cabinet and thus directly associated with Mr. Wilson, the public would doubtless accuse him of being the real president, oi dominating the office and thus robbing the president of credit if any is forthcoming. By remaining outside he can nevertheless assist the president with his advice and help him over the rough places without the fact being known. Another reason is said to be the preference Mr. Bryan has to be entirely independent, in order" that he may feel free to criticise thwWilson administration as he sees fit. That Mr. Bryan will do all that he _can to make a-success of the Wilson term of office is sure, but, should he undertake to carry into execution some of his more radical notions he is apt to find the president opposed to them and also apt to seriously tilt the ship of state. The selection of the new president’s cabinet will be watched with keen interest.

ABANDONED HOPE OF CATCHING ROBBERS

Medaryvllle Bank Officials Gave Up In Despair After Discovering Hand Car Upset in Elver.

The Medaryville First National Bank officers gave up all hope of capturing the bank robbers Tuesday evening after spending a busy day with Sheriff Tilden and his bloodhounds. The dogs were not with the sheriff on his hunting trip but were brought from LaPorte and placed on the trail In four hours after the bank was robbed. The dogs went to the railroad track and turned south for about two miles and then circled about in a cornfield and back to Medaryville. The information about the stolen handcar at San Pierre and the finding of the car dumped off the bridge and into the Kankakee river at Wilders had reached Medaryville in the meantime and the dogs were placed on the trail and vent to' Wilders, a distance of about 18 miles. There the trail was lost again and it is quite certain that the burglars boarded a train for Chicago. Among other money taken by the burglars was S4O worth of pennies. These proved too burdensome and were thrown from the handcar near Medaryville. Several pieces of silver were also found near the track where the handcar had evidently been stationed,' also an overcoat, which had been stolen from the bank but abandoned at the track. The Massachusetts Bonding Co., in which the bank was insured against burglary, offers a reward of SIOO for the arrest of the thieves. /

MEMORIAL BRIDGE IN WESTON CEMETERY

Lodges Will Aid in Construction of Cement Arch Memorial Across Maxwell Ditch.

The extensive improvements at Weston cemetery during the past few months, coupled with the purchase of the Beck and Shaffer properties has required careful financing by the board of trustees and so John Holden, the efficient sexton, has, hit upon a plan to make an improvement that will be an aid financially, accomplish the construction of a bridge before the trustees would otherwise be able to expend the money and at the same time endear the cemetery to the various secret orders of the city and build them Into closer unity of feeling. The Maxwell ditch separated the old cemetery from the new purchases. A bridge must be built over It. The trustees did not want to go into debt for the bridge at this time. That fact would have bluffed less stout-hearted men than Sexton Holden, but it just set his ingenuity to work and he was not long in developing a plan that has every prospect of working out in fine shape. •He figured that the secret orders of the city might build the bridge, as a memorial, placing such emblems and inscriptions on the bridge as they see fit. He talked with the lodge officers and found them willing to propose the matter to their orders. The officers and soriie of the members visited the cemetery and Mr. Holden explained his plan. The ditch is 12 feet_ wide, the driveway should be 14 feet wide, with cement bannisters. It will require about S3OO to build It. Already the Knights of Pythias have voted to give liberally to the proposition and the Masons, Odd Fellows and Red Men and the auxiliary lodges expect to do the same thing. Fortunately the lodges here never established separate cemeteries and the one general burial ground can thus be given better care. The cement arch bridge, beaTftig the inscriptions of the doners will be a great thing for Weston cemetery and Mr. Holden’s thought was a happy one.

C.H.& D. WRECK KILLS AND MAIMS

Twe Engineers, Firema, Baggageman and 14 Passengers Dead As Result of Collision.

A wreck at Irvington, a suburb 5 miles east of Indianapolis, at 3 o’clock this Wednesday morning, caused the death of about twenty people, injured many others and completely wrecked C. H. & D. passenger train No. 36, wlhich at Indianapolis becomes No. 36 on the Monon railroad and is the fast morning mail train passing through Rensselaer at 5:30 o’clock. Only meagre details of the wreck •have been received .here. Freight train No. 95, east bound out of Indianapolis, had taken siding at Irvington to permit the passenger train to pass. Whether the switch was not properly closed or whether the passenger jumped or “split” the switch is not known, but the passenger train crashed into the switch and head-on into the freight Engineer Will Sharkey and his fireman and Conductor Matthews, of the passenger train, and Engineer York, of the freight, were killed. Report is that the baggageman was killed and that Jerry Buck, Burton Jones, Harry Riechers and Henry Perphi, the mail clerks, were •all injured. The first three named are from Cincinnati and the fourth lives at Dyer. The extent of their injuries are not known here, except that Jones had a broken hand and a broken foot. The mail car was wrecked and no mail car was attached to No. 36 when it went through Rensselaer, almost five hours late, Charley Grow and Frank Leek, who have the run every other week, were both in Rensselaer. Mr. Grow was called to Chicago to take the run out tonight. Fourteen passengers were reported killed outright and many wounded. Those killed were mostly in the day coach, although one woman and her baby are said to have been killed in the sleeper. It was at first believed that Dave Harriott, formerly of Parr, and one of the mail clerks on this run every other week, was on the train. This proved to be his week off, however.

Bes MoColly let a roll of bills amounting to S6O slip down his trouser leg last Saturday. He thought that he had put the money in his trousers’ watch pocket and did not discover the mistake until a half hour later. The money was picked up by the 7-year-old son of Ed Harris, of Mt. Ayr, and was promptly restored to its owner when the loser and finder were brought together. Mr. McColly rewarded the little chap’s honesty by giving him a $5 bill. Fred Hamilton met with an accident last Saturday that might have re T suited much more seriously than it ’did. He rode Ed Honan’s motorcycle down to attend the Purdue-lllinois football game and just as he was crossing the Big Four railroad tracks an automobile dashed by him from the rear, striking one handlebar of his motorcycle.

WOULD PUT TAX ON AUTOMOBILES

Proposed Law Would Put An Annual Tax of $5.00 to $2540 On Each Cay. ■ Taxing automobiles, or rather the owners of automobiles, will be o&e of the provisions of a proposed law to be presented for consideration at the Indiana better roads convention, to be held in the German House, December 10, 11 and 12, by Fred I. Willis, who is secretary of tie convention. The amount of the tax in the hill will not be determined until it has been thrashed out by all interested in backing the good roads movement in Indiana, but just to start the discussion, Mr. Willis has declared that automobiles should be taxed from $5 to $25, according to horsepower, In a communication which has gone out to automobile owners and men active in the good roads movement, Mr. Willis said: “Automobiles do not pay their fair portion of the tax to keep up good roads. The farmer has had too much to do and the fanner has thought rightly that the automobile owner got too much benefit. Roads are torn np mostly by the cars of high speed. “Such a tax as this, $5 to $25, according to horsepower, would not be burdensome and It would bring about good roads in Indiana. Also it would be cheap for the automobile owner, tor it would save bis car wear and tear that it would not sustain with smooth thoroughfares. Good roads, in the saving of tirr expense alone, would pay the tax imposed under this plan of assessment. I am sure the automobile interests and automobile owners are willing to pay their share of taxes in the support of good roads.” The Indiana better roads convention will be held under the auspices of the commercial organizations of Indianapolis. \ Some of the features of the R.-C-H car are most axle clearance of any car, Warner auto-meter, tally-ho horn, central control, automatic sparker, straight line shaft drive, Bosch magneto, non-skid tires, Jiffy curtains, etc. And best of all, the car is sold for S9OO, fully equipped. This price includes everything. You do not buy the car and then have to spend two or three hundred dollars before yon are ready to take a trip. If interested ask John M. Knapp, the local agent, for a free demonstration. The Melrose convertible wagon bed, the greatest labor-saving and resultincreasing Invention of modem time*, for sale by Hamilton A Kellner.
