Checker Tournament to Be Played by Mail.

J. A. McFarland and Sain Stevens have been chosen as two of ten Indiana checker players to engage in a series of games with ten Ohio players, the games to be played by mail. Each player keeps his boards spread with the games he on hand, when a move is made a postal card is sent to the opponent and when he makes a move he replies. The moves are all conferred to the opponents by numbers, corresponding to numbers on the boards and with which all scientific checker players are acquainted. It is planned that each player shall play four games with each of his ten opponents, keeping two games going at a time. It will probably take two months to complete the series.

GOVERNOR MARSHALL GIVES FORECAST OF MESSAGE

Will Advocate Several Measures That He Thinks Will Be to the Interest ol People. Governor Mashall largely forecasted his forthcoming message to the legislature Monday afternoon in a speech which he made at the meeting of democratic members of the legislature. He recommended: A law extending the jurisdiction of the railroad commission so as to include all public utilities. In other words, he favors a public utilities commission 1 ; but he wants the railroad commission to be given the power instead of creating a new commission. A workmen’s compensation law He said other states have such a law and that Indiana ought to have one. He said the ultimate consumer has to supply all of the money to pay damages for injuries to workmen, anyhow, because employers pay liability insurance companies to carry their accident insurance. A law to create a state woVkhouse to take the place of the county jail. He recommended that the workhouse be located at a point where the prisoners could work on roads and road material. A law ’making it impossible to offer bonds of a sale until after they have been ? submitted to a rigid examination's to the property on which they are based. He said rumors were afloat now that a railroad is planning to issue bonds with which to buy all of the coal, land in Indiana, and he said that *if this was attempted while he was governor the railroad would have a lawsuit on its hands. A law to prevent the sale of “blue sky.” All stocks and securities should have real property behind them. These were the principal things which Marshall said he wouU| recommend in his message. He told the democrats -sthat he had been over a large part of the country in the last few months and that he knew what the people wanted. “There is unrest among the American people,” he said, “and if they cannot get what they want from the democratic party they will get it somewhere else. There never wijs a time when there was greater responsibility on a democratic legislature than now rests on this one. “The democratic party rests in your hands. Its salvation is up to vou. If you serve the people you will save th*e ‘party. If you fail you will kill it.” The governor pounded on the subject of the necessity of the democrats making good, now that they have the enormous majority with which to do the work. Governor-elect Ralston also made a speech in which he told the legislators that the party must make good all of its promises. “We made the recent campaign on a state platform, the chief virtue of which was its .brevity,” he said. “Now, we should stand squarely on the platform and carry out every promise it contained. And that does not mean that we cannot go further than the platform. The democratic party was never limited by its platform. The party should go beyond the platform wherever necessary and enact such laws as the people demand and which the party promised to enact.” One of the best speeches of the meeting was made by William P. O’Neill, of Mishawaka, lieutenant-governor-elect. It was short but to the point. He said he would not undertake to tell any member how he should or should not vote on any matter, but that personally he favored a public utilities commission law; a workmen’s compensation law; a new road law that would be fair and just and complete; a complete revision of the state insurance laws; an inheritance tax law and such other t laws as in the light of democratic principles appeared to be wise and needed.

Ashes and Leaves Must Not Be Dumped in Street.

The practice of dumping ashes in the Streets must cease at once or prosecution will follow. This practice not only mars the looks of our city, but stops up the gutters so that the water efinnot get to the sewers. * The practice of raking up leaves and leaving them in the gutters must also cease, as the leaves wash over the catch basins and the first freeze that comes forms a coating of ice over the catch basins and the water remains in the street and the city is blamed. Gutters and catch basins should he kept clean of leaves and trash. If this is done the necessity of wading through the water and slush will be much lessened. Acting under instructions of the mayor any one found dumping ashes in the street will he prosecuted.

WILSON HOME AGAIN; AVOIDS POLITICS

President Hints He May Ignore Party Lines in the Selection of His Cabinet. President-elect Woodrow Wilson is home again after a month’s rest and recreation in Bermuda Islands.' He is going to be of New Jersey for awhile and not worry about the larger responsibility that he will assume on March 4th. He said that he would defer making any announcements or filling any offices until he has cleared up his desk of accumulated business while he was absent. Mr. Wilson has not mentioned the name of any man whom he will call to a cabinet position, but he has said that he recognized two kinds of cabinets. One was made up of men who were given the places as a political reward, and the other was composed of men without regard to political beliefs who were devoted to certain forms of government. He did not say what kind of a cabinet he prefers, hut there is some indication that he may disregard party line if he sees a man of peculiar fitness outside.
