HAMMOND BILL HELD UP

;oYi:itNnit. trrnt iii:imitic; it. it va' ia.s it ritoM si:t hi:t itv. Thl Procedure Without Preecilent The Measure it III? Scheme for the Wolf latke Ilarhor. Gof rnor Mount yesterday recalled from the s'H-retury of state, with whom he hail deposited it. l!ie bill parsed ly tiie I.eisl.'.tur' for the purpose of tnaldiii Hammond to iysue bonds and condemn a right of way to diK a canl from Lik" Michigan to Wolf lake and convert the latter into a harbor. The (loVtrnor deposited this bill with the secretary of state on Tuesday last without his approval, but not vt toed. It came to him aftr the expiration of the legislative term and the Constitution pives him ttii day in which to consider uch bill. Since then he has be-n showered with letters from Hammond protesting against the measure, and this morning he made a request to the secretary of state for its return. The question arose as to whether a bill once deposited with the secretary could I- return d to the (Governor, and Secretary Owen a.-dced an opinion from the attorney central upon this point. The attorney general decided that the demand of the fJovernor was within the law and the enrolled bill was returned. While the Governor tlo-s not say so posltivtly. tho chances are that he will veto th measure, aiid it will thus ro to the next LcKlslature for Its consideration. The act n question gives the city of Hammond the risht to construct an entirely new har bor, canal or waterway, and to deepen or improve any now partially constructed, and Clares that '"fi the credit of the city, as is now provided by i, in cases or public improvtment." ATTOU.NHV (iK.MlitAL'S VIUW. IHht of the Governor to Recall an I niKnel IJI1I. L:iwytrs and State officers regard tho pre cedent wet in thU case as a. matter of more importance than the fate of the bill Itself, and there was much inquiry yestt relay for the full text of tho Attorney General's opin ion. The opinion was as follows: "Answering your Inouirv of this date to whether you are authorized to comply with the request of the Governor to return to him enrolled House act No. SK. notwiihstandin.Gr it anoears from tho tn murk that said act was tiled in the office of the Governor at 0:45 p. m. on Saturday, March . 1S:i. and In your office on Tuesday. March i. lOT. 1 b k to say that I can tee no objection to your complying with the request me uunrnur in mat respect, ine l onstltution. Section J4. Article V. provides; "If any bill shall not be returned by tho Governor within three days. Sunday excepted, after it shall have been presented to nim, it snail be a law without his sisnature, unless th preneral adjournment shall prevent its return, In which case It shall be a law. unless the Governor, within live days next after such adjournment, shall tile, such bill, with his obiections thereto. in the office of the secretary of state, who shall lay the same before the General AsemMy at Its next sessIon in like manner a if it had been returned by the Uoy ernor. "To have complied with the provision that the bill should lecome a law unless the Governor had exercised his ripht of veto power within three days. Sundav ex cepted, tho bill should have been presented to tho Governor earlier than the time indicated by the filo mark that it was so presented. The Governor therefore had, under the Constitution, absolutely the days from and after March tho lth within which to veto the bill or to sign It. If he had (a) exercised his right to veto and filed It with you with his veto, or b) had signed It and filed It with you as a law. I am of the opinion that the discretion vested In him by the Constitution would have ceased and he would have been powerless to recall tho bill for any purpose. '"Not having exercised his undoubted discretion to either veto or sign, but simply uaving deposited the bill unsigned and unvetoed with yourself. I can see no impropriety in his asking for its recall for further consideration as to whether he should either sign or veto it, nor can I see any impropriety In your acceding to his request in that respect. Ksptcially Is this true in view of the fact that the enrolled hill or act must ly the Governor, even if his request is acceded to and the bill returned to him, no again rerurned to your onice either (a) unsigned but without a. veto, (b) signed, or c vetoed. "Your office, belnrr the office of public records for the custody of such acts, the request of the Governor should be kept on hie, and when the bill or act Is returned In whatever form It comes, the records in that respect will be full and complete. Courts will take Judicial notice of every thing that has transpired In your oihee. and if it should be held that ther was no power in you to comply with the Governor's request, no harm can result to any person, any Interest or the State, because it will fully appear of record In your office just what has been done, and it might well be that If you should fail to comply with such request that the power to approve or to veto, carefully conferred iqton the Governor bv the Constitution, might not be fullvand considerably exercised by the Governor as It is clearly the Intention of the Constitution that it should be" PROVISIONS OP TIIK JIIMSfltK. Hovr Land In to He Condemned nnd Afaeftiuent lnid. There has been much dispute and misunderstanding about the terms of this bill. It was introduced by Senator Gostlin as Senate Hill 310 and was actively pushed by A. F. Knotts and a number 'of other Hammond attorneys through both branches. They haye been endeavoring for a couple of years to get an appropriation from Congress for converting Wolf lake into a harbor and declare that the purpose of this measure is merely to help out whatever appropriation they shall succeed In getting from Congress. Tho bill provides: '"That any incorporated city in this State, siU'.ated upon or within live miles eif any navigable strtam eir lake is hereby authorized to construct an entirely new harlwr. canal or water way connected with such navigable stream or lake, or may extend, widen, deepen, straighten, repair or otherwise improve any hatbor. canal, waterway or water course now made, partially made, in the process of construction or hereafter to be made, with said navigable stream or lake, and for that purpose may loan the credit of the city as is now provided, by law .n case of public improvement. "Hefore any lionds shall b Issued or any work done under Section 1 of this act, the common council shall cause the city engl-i-eer to make a map and profile of the work proposed to 1 done and an estimate of th cost thereof, which shall be tiled In the office cf the city clerk, which map and protile shall le notice to any and all pariles interested of the manner in which they are affected by the said contemplated work. It any such harbor, canal, water way. or water courses be. or shall Ire, crested by any railroad or street railway, before the commencement ef the work in this act authorized, the map and profile of the improvement contemplated shall Include and show such bridge, railroad tracks, sidetracks, railroad grounds, switches and strett railways, side tracks anil switches over and across such harbor, canal, water way or water course and for a sufficient dis tance on va'.h side thereof to indicate and show all contemplated changes of the location of such bridge, railroad tracks, side tracks, railroad grounds and switches. street railway tracks. sido tracks and switches, alio all such contem plated changes and all additional land for right of way for depositing eartti (common ly calhd right of waste) deemed necessary by such change and to enable the same to be properly made, and the said city shall have the power to appropriate the lands so included In such map for such additional rijfht of way or waste, ar.d when such appropriation is made It shall Inure and be. long to and In-come the property of th company owning or In possession of Faid railroad upon payment to said city. of all cost thereof in the same manner and to th same extent as If taken by such com pany under cr in pursuance to its charter. "All incorporated cities In this State shall have power to appropriate so much of tin land belonging to any iw-rson. persons or corporation as may be necessary for the construction, extension, widening. ( pening. straightening, repairing or otherwise improving any hart or. canal, water way or water course, provided for in this act: and the land which is appropriated shall be described on plat and profile aforesaid." The remaining sections of the long bill are devoted c hieily to setting out a method of condemnation ar.d of assessing benefits and damages. These proceedings are about

the same ps those provided by law for the condemnation of hind for streets and alky?. Section 10 of the act enables the common council of the city to anticipate the collection of these N-ncflt assessments by I. suing bonds against the proirty ben' lite.- just as bonds are now issued under thcl5arrett law against property benefiting by street Improvements. Section 11 declares that no injunction shall lie to restrain the proceedings unless projwrty shall have been appropriated on which damages have been assessed without causing the same to be paid or tendered. It is made unlawful for any person or corporation to obstruct or delay or interfere with the free passage of ships, boats and water craft upon such harbor or canal. The bill carries with it an emergency clause. IT IS A IHG S( 1IEMH.

Wolf laike Ilnrlior lint the IlctnnliiK of a Great I'lan of Improvement. This bill and the effort to get an appropriation from Congress are the work of an association formed for the general Improvement of the Calumet region, and the conversion of Wolf lake into a harbor is contemplated as but the beginning of a great scheme of Improvement, intended to make- about 10,0m) acres of land in that vicinity available for manufacturing and shipping purposes. This association is composed of Kossuth H. Hell, assistant general rrumager of the G. H. Hammond Company: Jesse 1'. Lyman, president of the Chicago. Hammond tz Western Railway Company: Robert K. Todd, president of the Calumet Canal and Improvement Company, cf East Chicago: Charles R. Shedd. Edward Roby. John W. Lim.

Robert GrofT Ankn to Re Appointeel Factory Inspector IlcUveen 2,000 nnd C!,000 AppllcttntK. The office of Governor Mount was again besieged yesterday by a crowd of pe-ople willing to give advice about appointments. Private Secretary Wilson said at a rough estimate there were between two and three thousand applicants for ofhee and one could well believe it when he? showed a petition of some length and several letters of Indorsement for a woman who desired to be one of the thlrty.or forty seamstresses employed at tho Central Insane Hospital. It seems that all tho hosts of people who seek positions of the most minor nature in the various state Institutions have an idea that they can get them by applying directly to the Governor Instead of to the heads of the Institutions. It Is hardly necessary to say that the Governor will not undertake to dictate appointments of this character. He has an impression that he has enough responsibility In taking care of such appointments a ho is required by law to make. Among the cailors upon the Governor yesterday was Samuel O. riekens, chairman of the National Democratic state committee. The purpose of Mr. Pickens's call was to ak that tho National Democrats be recognized in the appointments of the Governor upon various boards and particu larly in the appointment of a Democratic tax commissioner which must be made about May 1. He had no recommendations to make as to persons, but, it Is under stood that the following gentlemen are nspirants. cither active or receptive, for the position now held by Capt. D. F. Allen, of Frankfort, who is a good fellow, but was one of the most rabid leaders of the "pun" during tho last campaign: Judge John C. Robinson and Mr. Cramer, of Spencer; Judge Thomas J. Terhune. of this city; D. F. Mustard, of Anderson; H. F. Heimba'igh, of Peru; ex-Senator Rufus Magee, of I.iOgan4port, and ex-Senator Isaac P. Leydcn, of New Albany. The gold Demo crats also hope that their wing of the party will be recognized by the Governor In some of his appointments upon metropolitan po lice loards and loards of control of the various .state Institutions!. Republican loaders, without exception. HRrrr with them In this desire, partly upon tho ground that they did such excellent service in the cause of a sound currency last fall and partly upon the ground that nearly all the Democrats fit to serve In such responsible positions aro members of that wing of the party. Robert Groff was one of the callers upon the Governor yesterday nnd is an applicant for the position of factory inspector created by the child labor law. Mr. Groff was the most active member of tho legislative committee appointed by tho state federation to get thlsi and other labor legislation through, though the measures did not require much lobbying. He was formerly a Republican and was a candidate for county recorder before the Republican convention in 1S04. Failing of nomination he ran as an independent candidate and hi the last campaign supported Mr. Rryan and Mr. Shively. Captain J. C. Harris, a member of the House of Representatives, also had an Interview with the Governor yesterday. lie Is an applicant for the othce or custodian of the Statehouse. There are only 131 people who want this position. Dr. Newton, of Hope, another ex-member of the Legislature, called upon the Governor to consult with him alout the appointments to bo made under the new medical law upon tho State Hoard of Examiners. This measure, like the pharmacy bill that died upon veto of the Governor, requires that the Governor npioint the board from a list furnished by tho State Medical Society "or other physicians." thus giving the medical society a moral, though not a a legal right, to In a measure control these appointments. Made o Announcement. Representative Overstreet returned to Washington yesterday afternoon without making public announcement as to whom ho will recommend for collector of customs. The local Republican leaders, however, remain unshaken in their belief that the appointment will go to A. A. Young. Mr. Overstreet will next week intreduce a new H..UH appropriation bill in the House of Representatives for a federal building In Indianapolis. STATE 3 1-2-PER-CENTS. I .nut of Them to Re Taken Ip nnd (anrrlol Thin Year. The state finance board, composed of the Governor, auditor and treasurer, met yesterday afternoon and decided to notify the Rowery Savings Rank, of New York, that the State would take up on April 1 HDO.Oh) of the S'j per cent, bonds of the series of $;M'),nei) of these bonds still outstanding. The rest of the issue will be redeemed on July 1. These are the last of the :u j por cent. londs against the State, all the rest being 3 per cents., except the Purdue University i per cents., which are perpetual, and upon which the high rate of Interest is in the nature of a gift from the State. The auditor estimates that tho State will pay off from $7co.w to J.m.'X'O of the debt this year. The Corbet t-ritlinnioiii .Matinee.

CAME HERE TO END LIFE

miss .n:Nirc iotv. a hamimmii: YOt'Mi WOMAN, AT'IEVIPT St It'lDE. ShootM IlerMelf in u Room nt the Grand Evidently Rail n quarrel vtlth Her Ohio I. over. A young woman who gave the name of Jennie Doty, from Middletown. O.. attempted suicide at the Grand Hotel yesterday. The young woman came to the Grand Hotel yesterday motning about 1 o'clock. She registered and asked for a good room. Night Clerk JellefT assigned her to Room 30, to which she retired at onee. She had been in her room but a short time when she sent for writing materials. Mr: Elliott sent her the necessary articles by the bellboy, and no more was seen of her until she was discovered yesterday afternoon with a bullet hole In her head and a note asking that she be buried in her wedding clothes. It was not thought strange that the young woman, having arrived so late at night, should sleep late In the day, and no attempt was made to disturb her until afternoon. Then the chambermaid tried to get into the room. She found It locked and no one answered her knocks.' She re ported the state of affairs to Mr. Elliott, who orelered a bellboy to effect an entrance by somo means, thinking perhaps the woman was sick and In need of aid. The boy crawled out on to the narrow ledge which surrounds the second floor and got Into the room through the window. lie saw the woman In bed, the coverlet pulled up close under her chin and her face deadly white. He did not stop to examine further, but let the maid in at once and ran downstairs to tell Mr. Elliott to send for a doctor. In the meantime the maid had discovered what she thought was a suicide. A small twenty-two caliber revolver on the floor beside the bed. and a tiny bullet hole in the right temple were what she found. The pillow was stained with blood and the thick .hair was clotted with It, showing that the shot must have been fired at least two hours before. THE NOTE SHE LEFT. The young woman had gone to bed with out undressing, taking off nothing but her shoes. By the side of the bed was the fol lowing note: "To whom It. mav concern: Hold no au topsy, but bury me In mv wedding clothes. as 1 am now. Notify R. Alice Doty, 10 Clinton street, Middletown, O." Sealed letters were also found addressed to Miss Alice Doty and to Mrs. Ievy El liott. Woodbrldge, Ontario, Canada. When Dr. Gray arrived he made an ex amination and found that the woman was not dead, as supposed. Her pulse was still strong and he thought she might live. He sent for an ambulance and she was at once conveyed to the City Hospital. At the hospital it was soon discovered that the woman's wound was not of a very serious nature. Superintendent Ferguson dressed the wound himself. He found the bullet had entered the right temple, and that its course had been in a direction away from the brain. He thought at first that the hall might have lodged close to the point of starting, and a probe was run into the wound a short distance. It was discovered that the ball did not enter the brain, but Just where it 'lodged could not be determined. There w as a large swelling of the right Jaw and this was taken as an indication that the ball ranged downward. However, the ball whs not loeated. Dr. Ferguson said late last night that the wound would not prove fatal.' The wound is almost cxactlv similar to that inflicted unon himself several years ago by John Rloom. Rloom was Insane at the time he attempted to end his life. He shot himself and" jumped off the Whiteriver bridge at Washington street. He was sent to the City Hospital and his physical neaitn was restored. Jle was then transferred to the Insane hospital, and is now well, mentally and physically. He called at tho hospital not long ago and learned lor tne nrst time the true account of his own atte-mpt at sif-destructlon. HEU RAVING AT THE HOSPITAL. Jennie Doty Is evidently a married woman. Wnen first taken to the hospital she was e! tirious and talked in her rav ings. This Is th only information aside from the note left at the Grand Hotel by which to Identify her. "Oh, Minnie; you know I did not deceive Oliver," she would say at one time, and again. "You used to be always kind to me. Oliver," and then she would scream and say: "Don't strike me, Oliver. Oh, how can you when you were always so kind to me." These broken ravings are taken bv the nurses at the hospital to signify tha't she in a wife who has been falsely accused of infidelity by her husband, and the charge preyed upon her mind until she became desperate and came away from homo to end her life. The note left by the woman at the Grand Hotel requesting that she be buried Just as she was, "in my wedding clothes." must have been written by a person of unbalanced mind. Her dress is far from a wedding gown, thought it might have been the one she was married in. It Is a cheap black serge, made up for street wear. From her clothing and jewelry it would appear that she is a woman of not above middle class in society. Her clothing Is all neat enough, but of cheap material and inexpensively made. She had a tilled gold watch and wears on her fingers a number of cheap rings. Two of them are ;'old plated, and one Is made of a piece of old silver coin. In appearance the woman is rather handseme. She is about twenty-one years old and of medium stature. She has a heavy head of light brown hair, hanging to her waist. In s;)lte of the abundance of natural hair she wore a large switch. As she lay upon the white cot at tho hospital sleeping it would never be surmised by a stranger that she had but a few hours before sliot herself in the head. She was dresseel In a white gown and there was no sign of blood. A simple bandage about the head was all there was to indicate the presence of the wound. About ."" o'clock yesterday evening the opiates administered to the patient affe cted her and she fell into a restless sleep which lanteri until after 7 o'clock. When she awoke the drug still affected her and she remained in a semistupor for several hours. Her condition was pronounced hopeful. The physicians think it will only be a short time until she will be herself again. In Room si at the Grand, next to the one occupied by the young woman, was a traveling man named Morris Lacey. He Is totally blind, and from that cause his sense of hearing is perhaps more acute. ilr. Lacey says that about 6 o'clock yesterday morning Ik heard what he now thinks was a pistol she.t. He thought nothing of tho matter at the time, but is confident now that it was the shot he heard. No one else about the place heard a sound of the explosion. The bellboy who took the vounc womnn to her room and afterwards took her writing material, says he noticed something peculiar in rur manner. When he took her to the roena she seated herself at the center table and bowed her he ad on h r hands, saying not a word. When he took her the paper and Ink she was In the same position, and he thought then she was "grieving about something." The hotel ix opic notified by telegram the two persons for whom the woman had left letters, and last night received a dispatch from Oliver Cousins. Middletown, O. The telegram read as follows: "Wire, my expense, particulars of suicide of Jennie Doty. Is she still living? If so, bow long can she live? Answer quick." Oliver Cousins doubtless the "Oliver" about whom Miss Doty talktnl In her de lirious ravings, but Just what relationship ne ncars to tne young woman Is the ques tion. An Associate Press dispatch from Mid dletnn received last night said: "This city was startled this afternoon when it was announced that Miss Alice Doty had received a telegram that her niece. Miss Jennie Doty, had committed suicide at Indlananolis. Miss Jennie Dotv was well and favorably known In this city and was se.n last evening taking a ride em her bicycle. She was taken ty her aunt at the age of six weeks to bring up. Miss Alice Doty Is prostrated over the -occurrence and in charge of her physician, w ho will allow no one to see her. It Is reported that Jennie Doty has been !isapiolnted in a love affair with Oliver Cousins, an mploye of the Miami Cycle works of this city. Mr. Cousins, when seen, said he knew no reason why she should have committed

the rash act. He left this evening on the first train for Indianapolis to bring the body home." A STUDIOUS BOY DISAPPEARS.

The Armenlnii. Trouble May Have r ii ha In need Him. J. C. Coalson. of Sheridan. Ind.. called at the pedice station last night mnJ sought the aid of the department in locating his twelve-year-old son Prank, who left home Wednesday morning. The father knows of no reason for the boy's conduct and Is of the opinion that lie is mentally unbalanced. The boy left schcol during reefss-'and was last seen walking on the railroad track toward Indianapolis. The f ath.tr says his bev is a great student of hi4ory: that he has been reading constantly of late. -He savs the bov would go to the school library at noon while other boys were at play, and read until the teacher would -send for him to come to his recitations, getting so ab sorbed In his reading that he would not hoar the school bell. Mr. Coalson says that tlif trouble between the Turks and the Armenians has affected his son and may have preyed upon his mind to such an extent' as to unbalance it. SORT OF INDIAN GIVING 1 1 PI RI.ISII1; FIRM AVAXTS LEGISLA TORS to snxi) ii a civ Tin: hooks. The Agent Will Have to Come After the Horner Statutes Mr. McliolHon ou tuartShoii Hill. The members of the Legislature are vast ly surprised at the action of the law pub lishing firm of E. R. Meyers & Co., of Chi cago, in reference to Horner's Annotated Statutes. At the beginning of the session a set of these statutes, which were compiled and edited by Senator Horner, was placed upon the desk of each member. A little later a bill came slipping through to purchase these statutes at the expense of the State for the benefit of the members. This was promptly killed when It showed Its head in the House, anel Its companion met a like fate in the Se nate. When members had asked the custodian about the looks they had been told that they had been left there by the agent of Meyers & Co., as a present to the members. On the last elay of the session Mr. Kayser intro duced in the House a resolution voting the firm $500 for the statute. This was de feated and later in the day Mr. Kratz made a motion to reconsider the vote by which it was elefeated. This motion to reconsider was promptly tabled. The last act In this little drama came yesterday when each member received at his home a note from Meyers &. Co., asking him to return the statutes. The note was km follows: "We wrote you to deliver the set of Honter's Indiana Statute placed on your desk 'for examination during the recent ses sion to our representative, hut be was un able to see you. Therefore, please deliver to the bearer and this shall be your receipt." The presumption Is that an agent of the firm will call upon members at their homes and gather up the books. M2W QIAHT-SHOP LAW. Why It In Kffeetlve Opinion of the Attorney General. Concerning tho contention ef Messrs. Wllloughby and Pecklnpaugh that the quartshop law is ineffective on accemnt of failure to amend tho penal clause of the old statute. Mr. Nicholson, author of the meas ure, writes to the Journal as follows: "I see by the Journal this morning that an alleged discovery has been made rela tive to the new antl-quari-shop measure. It may be that with my friend illoughby et al. the wish is father to the thought In thinking that there Is no penalty to tho new law. well. let us see. i ne new law amends Sections 1, 5 and 7 of the old license law of li73. Then the lawr stands as originally with these sections in the amended form. Section 12 of the original act contains the penalties, which apply to the new law as well as to the old. In that section there are two offenses recognized. One for cell ing in less nuantlties than, a eiuart at a time; the other for selling without naming the quantity. The first, of course, becomes null and void, while the latter remains an effective penalty. The fjtct of these two orrenses Is fultv set iortn m ine case oi the State vs. Corll, 73 Ind.. Page 1 am sure there can be no question about this and any man that undertakes le nell contrary to tho new law must know that he is liable to a fine of from $20 to $10u and to imprisonment for from thirty days to six months. With all due. deference to the opinions given by the attorneys mentioned in the Journal of to-day. I choose to take the decision of the Supreme Court in construing Section 12 as referred to above." Attorney General Ketcham said on this subject yesterday: "The bill amends Sections 1, 5 and 7 of the act of March 17, 1S75, by striking out of that law wherever it appears in those sections, the words in less quantities than a quart at a time. The amended sections, from the time of the passage of this bill, are as to future transactions, treated as though they had heen originally embodied in the law as passed. There is no need for a polity In the nev; law, as It is already provided for in the old. In other words, the bill Is just an amendment of the old law. The penalty for selling In less quantities than a quart without being licensed, or for selling to be drunk on the premises is not less than t2) fine nor more than $100. and from thirty days to tix months in jail." EFFKCTS OF TI1H 31 I'LL LAW. Auditor C'nlln Attention of the Heads of Institution to It. Deputy Audtor of State Hart yesterday said he thought the Mull bill, requiring receipts and vouchers to be lilcd for ail expenditures of officers of state institutions and departments would save the State in the neighborhood of $2.,000 a year. The lawhas an emergency clause and has already gone into effect. Accordingly the auditor of state has had the provisions of the act printed upon the back of the blank form of voucher, thus calling attention of the heads ot the Institutions to It. Chairman Mull, of the Senate finance committee. In speaking of the reason for the measure, said: "1 am cemvineed thnt our next leform in the matter cf the ttate Institutions must be an effort to reduee the expenses of administration. Subsistence ceist is a comparatively small percentage of what we appropriate as 'maintenance. The heavy item ef expense Is administration, and this is higher in Indiana than it is in the older States. This administration expense goes entrely to pay the salaries and expenses of the management, and those salaries have not been reduced during the hard times. This law will help us to determine just how much money is necessary for administration and how much for subsistence of the inmates and the next Legislature can appropriate more' intelligently by dividing th maintenance final into subsistence and administration funds." ANTI-TIllST LAW. Cnmford Fnlrhiink, Interested In Several Trunin, Regard It Lightly. Crawford Fairbanks, of Terre Haute, president of the Strawboard Trust find illrector in the Whisky and Wheel Trusts, was In the city last evening. He was asked by a Journal reporter what he thought of the anti-trust law passed by the Legislature. "I haven't paid any attention to the matter," replied Mr. Fairbanks, 'but I understand that it does not amount to anything. I am told that It applies only to goods manufactured outside ef Indiana, and there are very few trusts that do not manufactuto to some extent In Indiana, and If they don't it will be easy enough for Hum to do so. I do not know whether this is the case or not. as I did not pay any attention to it. but thfre were others who did men sent here by the trusts that were interested in this sort of legislation. I am told that the bill that passed was perfectly satisfactory to them. If they lind It impracticable to prevent the big tnists in New York State, controlling millions and millions, how are you going to handle the little affairs In Indiana by law?''
