Lone Progressive in Senate To Return to the G. O. P.

Washington, D. C., March 23. — Senator Poindexter, of Washington, the lone progressive in the United States senate, is thinking of returning to his old republican allegiance. The senator said last night that he was consideimg the advisability of making a fight in the next republican primary in his state. “I intend to prepare a statement about the matter," he continued. “It doesn’t make any difference under which party emblem we fight so long as we carry forward the principles that we have been earnestly striving for. “We have a number of progressive laws on the statute books of my state as a result of the progressive movement. In the two campaigns of 1910 and 1912 we elected legislatures which were responsive to this movement of the times. The legislature elected last fall undertook to hamstring a number of these laws. A movement is on foot to refer several of these acts to the people. Under the circumstances it is important for all progressives, to get together, and for this reason I am considering whether or not it would be advisable to work in the republican primaries.” Mr. Poindexter’s return to the republican party, which his action in his home state forecasts, is hailed witli satisfaction by republican leaders remaining in Washington. Congressman Hinebaugh returned to the G. O. P. in January. A number of progressive congressmen from Pennsylvania did likewise. If things ,go as they are going there will not be a .progressive left in the house. *" Senator Poindexter has stood staunchly for progressive principles in the senate. He has made an excellent record for and the progressive, party. His return to the republican fold, his friends declare, will be entirely due to the forward trend of the G. O. P. since the drubbing it got in 1912.

PROSECUTING ATTORNEY CHARGED WITH PATERNITY

Girl-Mother Gets Montieello Lawyer to Meet Her at Logansport and Hands Him the Baby. Howard T. Brockway, prosecuting attorney of the Carroll-White judicial court, is detained in Logansport on a paternity charge preferred by Miss Mae Shigley, of Lafayette. Brockway was bora and reared in Brookston and makes his permanent home at Montieello. He gained considerable fame as the prosecuting attorney in the recent Mullendore murder trial held at Delphi. Excitement reigns in Delphi and the neighboring towns over the development of the case and it promises to be one of the most sensational of its nature ever held in Carroll county. The baby was bom in the Lutheran hospital in Ft. Wayne on Marsh 12th. Miss Shigley arrived in Logansport Wednesday .and immediately called Brockway at his home in Montieello, asking him to meet her in Logansport. He did this and the couple left the depot and went up to the city. Miss Shigley made an excuse to go into a drug store and left the baby in the arms of Brockway and when she reappeared refused to take the baby back into her arms. Brockway decided to find a place for the baby at the Salvation Army headquarters but found no one in but the janitor, who refused to take it. Upon leaving there Brockway found that Miss Shigley had disappeared. He proceeded to police headquarters and told the chief that an unknown woman had forced the baby into his arms and disappeared, but upon being questioned admitted that he knew the Woman but wanted to keep her name secret and help her out of her dilemma. Brockway was # told to get the woman to headquarters immediately, and he picked up the baby and x left. When he did not return an investigation was started and about this time Miss Shigley put in an appearance. It was learned that Brockway had boarded a Delphi interurban with a bundle under his arm. It was an easy matter to traee him to the home of Circuit Judge Wason. Brockway was placed under arrest, but volunteered to go back to Logansport without a warrant. He stoutly denies being the parent of the child and has engaged M. W. Fensler to defend him. He further affirms that he has not seen Miss Shigley since last December. Brockway is known to have kept company with Miss Shigley when in Lafayette and the feeling is very much against him. He is well known in Cass, Carroll and Tippecanoe counties and police headquarters has been thronged with people since the development of the easel Judge Wason said that he would .appoint a special prosecuting attorney in the case and bring such action as the case demanded.

Engineers to Recommend Construction of Waterway.

Michigan City News. Although the engineers and surveyors working on the general report for the proposed Toledo, Fort Wayne and Chicago barge canal will not make public much of their findings, it is understood that the report will recommend a waterway to connect Lake Erie with Lake Michigan which will have a yearly carrying capacity of 40,000,000 tons. This information has reached local waterway enthusiasts from sources which are said to be authentic, although not coming from any of the officials now connected with the survey work. From what can be learned at present, the report, which Captain Watkins will submit to the board of army engineers this week or the first of next, will show the feasibility of a waterway connecting the head waters of Lake Erie with the head waters of Lake Michigan. This report will also show, it is' said, the solution of the water problem and the engineering practicability and feasibility of the great project. From the report of Captain Watkins, the board of army engineers will determine whether or not a final survey shall be ordered. The board will also name the route over which the canal will be built. If the canal is built with a 40,000,000 ton carrying capacity yearly, it wil lbe ample to care for all the traffic between New York and Chicago.

Tom Eigelsbach Violates Neutrality—Not Prosecuted.

Thos. H. Eigelsbach, of Chicago, son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Eigelsbach, of this city, admits that he occasionally is guilty of violating neutrality, but he has had no trouble with the federal courts and does not expect any. The violation occurs twice each week, the days that The Semi-Weekly Republican arrives. He says the violation consists of pushing aside the big Chicago dailies and devouring with deep interest the happenings about his old home. Tom says that he is not very neutral on the subject of Sunday baseball, either. He’s for it. He says: “Idle hands are the devil’s chosen tools,” and as baseball is a good clean sport, I think it would be a great mistake for Indiana to stop it. I fail to see the benefit that would result.” A money order for a dollar and a half was enclosed and Tom is thus assured of the old home paper for another year.
