A defective flue was the cause of all the excitement

Michigan City, Ind., Aug s.—William Ray, negro 19 years old, confessed murderer of Martha Huff, 14 year old Indianapolis white girl, was executed at the state prison here this morning. Ray met death in the electric chair dnd was pronounced dead after the first charge. Ray was the first man to pay the death penalty in Indiana since 1916 when Kelly Robinson, also an Indianapolis negro was electrocuted for the murder of John Roe. History of Crime. Indianapolis, Aug. s.—The crime for which William Ray was executed early this morning at the state prison at Michigan City is one of the most brutal recorded in the criminal annals of the state. Ray, according to his own confession enticed the girl away from her home on the pretext that a white family of his acquaintance wished to give her some clothing. After taking her to a lonely spot, he said he attacked her, and in an effort to stifle her screams, stabbed her thirteen times. The girl’s mutilated body was later found in Eagle Creek where the negro had thrown it. After the negro's arrest here large crowds gathered around the jail where he was being held and it was thought an attempt to lynch the prisoner would be made. Police were able to break up the gatherings however.

GOVERNOR GOODRICH SIGNS BILLS—REJECTS FIVE

Indianapolis, Aug. 4.—Governor James P. Goodrich announced tonight that he had signed the bills passed at the special session of the Indiana ‘general assembly providing for an increase of approximately 30 per cent in teachers’ salaries and providing for the institution of the two platoon system in fire departments in cities having over 15,000 population. This bill was introduced by Senator Hogston of Marion. The governor had ten other measures besides these two awaiting his action today, which was the last day according to the constitution on which he could affix his signature. He signed five bills in addition to firemen’s bills and allowed five other bills to die by refusing to receive them. One of the bills killed would have autorized the two platoon sytem in all organized fire departments. Another bill killed would also provide .a two platoon system only for the city of Terre Haute. The fire department of this city will come under the provisions of the bill signed by the governor. The governor also allowed the bill restoring “lost amendments” to the county unit to die. He said he was not satisfied with certain sections of the bill and he believed it would be well to let the next regular session of the legislature take action on this subject. The bill would have restored autority to township trustees over the construction of dirt roads. *

Other bills signed by the governor included the following: Fixing salaries for county clerks in counties from 10,000 to 60,000. Increasing the salary limit of city clerk’s deputies. Increasing salaries of assistants to Marion county assessors. ' Providing additional clerical help for county officials. Giving Marion county assessors $6 a day.
