NEW AFTERNOON PAPER

MAJ. W. J. HICIIAHDS AM) JOHN II. IIOLLIDAY TO START "THE I'llESS. Publication to Begin Abont Xov. 1 Independent Policy of the evr Jonrnnl Outlined. A new afternoon independent newspaper the Indianapolis Prestr Is to be established in this city by MaJ. Wm. J. Richards and John H. Holllday. Major Richards recently sold his Interest In the Indianapolis News after twenty-three years as manager of the paper, and Mr. Holliday is the founder of the same paper, he also having sold his interest In it after twenty-three years as Its editor and principal owner. Major Richards will bo the business manager of the new paper, and Mr. Holllday will be the editor. Mr. Holliday Is to resign his connection with the Union Trust Company, of which he is president. The new paper la to have a new plant, and it is expected that It will be In operation by the 1st of November. Ever since the sale of the News rumor has been rife that Major Richards, either alone or with associates, would start a new paper, but to all Inquiries he always said he was not prepared to speak. With the last few days reports took definite shape and yesterday afternoon the question was put directly to Major Richards by a reporter for the Journal: "Major, do you Intend to Ftart a new paper?" "Yes." he replied, "you can say that, after full deliberation, it has been determined to do so." "Then there was something In the rumor that in the event you did not get the News at the recent sale you Intended to found a newspaper." There was certainly some foundation for the report, for I have always said I did not intend to quit business, but the fact is that immediately after the sale I abandoned for a time any thought of such a matter. Reet was Inviting and some attractive offers were made to me Jo engage In business, one being the management of one of the great West-, crn dailies. So I practically dropped the Idea of starting a new paper. "I have changed my mind because I have, been urged by so many people to go ahead. The petitions, or entreaties, or whatever you choose to call them, gained such volum and were so representative of all classes, not only in Indianapolis, but literally from all quarters of the State, as to give them almost the character of a call to public duty. In almost every instance they coupled the name of John II. Holllday, the founder of the Indianapolis News, with my own, and after full consideration he has decided to join me In the enterprise. In the new paper we will reassume our old relations, he In the editorial chair and I in the business management. The name of the paper will be "the Indianapolis Press." In essentials it will not be a new paper, for the old principles will be maintained and the old Ideals sought, though under a new name and in a yastly Improved form. TO START FULL FLEDGED. "It will be an up-to-date modern newspaper. Issued every afternoon In the year, except Sundays, and we expect to furnish Indianapolis and Indiana the best afternoon newspaper they have ever had. It will start full-fledged, with an equipment of machinery and appliances of every description as good 'as can be bought and of a capacity in output which no other Indiana paper will even pretend to match when orce seen in operation. It will have ample capital for all requirements and the best staff In every department -that long experience can suggest or procure." "You feel assured, then, that there is a field for another paper?" Major Richards was asked. "Moat certainly," he replied. "The Press is not started in opposition to any other paper. No worthy enterprise succeeds In an effort to tear down another. The Press Is started to carry out certain. ideals in journalism to which its proprietors have have been sincerely devoted for a quarter of a century and which, they believe, the public will approve and support. We have a large and growing city, a larger one in many thinga than most of us realize; we have a great and growing population tributary to us, and in no such center In the United Statea are there so few newspapers. The electric roads and rural free delivery are going to open up a field that is almost virgin, and we are firmly convinced that the next few years with such Improved facilities will develop thousands of new readers and patrons. We believe this Is a ripe opportunity and we can produce an article of such merit that it will speedily win its way." "What will be the new paper's editorial character and policy?" TUB PAPER'S POLICY. "In politics the Indianapolis Press will be absolutely and fearlessly independent. It will be the organ of neither party, clique nor man. It will ally Itself with either party or with any party, if need be, to promote a paramount reform or break down a wrong. It will have no tie except such as in its judgment will serve the Interests of the people. It will be utterly divorced from political ambitions or the political fortunes of Individuals. It will be equally divorced from any Interests, direct or Indirect, In capitalistic combinations preying on the public or exploiting public privileges. It will be owned and managed exclusively at home, and devoted to and in touch with the best Interests of the city and State. Our only client will be the people. "In the service of the public no claim to superior wisdom will be made; no 'holier than thou attitude assumed; no pretense of infallibility asserted for we do not forget that to err la human, and we doubt not we shall make mistakes, but we shall discuss public measures as men discussing with men methods of common Interest, using our best ability and Judgment. And that we may the better have a correct estimate of the truth and the right, we shall stand stripped of those common sources of bias political entanglements and financial schemes, which have discredited so many well-meaning newspapers. No other person will be interested with us financially. Mr. Holliday will give the paper his exclusive service as soon as he can be relieved of his present engagements." "When do you expect to begin publication?" TO START IN SIXTY DAYS. "It will probably require sixty day?, possibly more. As you know the organization of such an enterprise and the preliminary work requires time and labor, besides which some of the machinery must be built and the quarters fitted up. The location has not yet been determined. We have Several places under observation, but the choice will be governed largely by the arrangement of the machinery. We hope to be going before the first of November." "What about the report that you Intend to buy the Sun and absorb It in the new paper?" "That report 1j without any foundation whatever. We have not the slightest thought of such a thing. Nor do we understand the Sun Is for sale." "Have you made any overtures to the owners of the Sun?" "Never, directly or Indirectly." "Who will be the managing eiitor of the new paper?" "Mr. Holllday will be the editor-in-chief, but w have not decided on the managing editor." "Will the staff cf the paper consist of Indianapolis- men?" "Ia ro far as possible the employes of the

paper will be Indianapolis men. We prefer them. But if it Is found Impossible to equip the paper with Indianapolis men we will have to import men. We are open to applications for assistants in our enterprise." "Will the concern be a corporation?" "No, we will not incorporate. The paper will be owned by a firm, consisting of Mr. Holllday and myself." Much Interest is felt in the new paper project and to newspaper men and business men the names of .William J. Richards and John 11. Holllday, so long connected with the newspaper business of this city, carry all confidence. Mr. Holllday founded the News when he was twenty-three years old. The first issue of the paper appeared Dec. 7, ISM. Ah a boy he had carried the Journal. When he became a young man he entered the editorial branch of newspaper work and was for a time city editor of the Sentinel. When he started the News he had a hard struggle for several-years, but he finally triumphed. He sold the paper May 3. HH2, to Major Richards and William Henry Smith. Major Richards had already an Interest In the paper. Mr. Holliday founded the Union Tust Company and it has prospered under his guidance. Major Richards was born In Montgomery county. When the war broke out Jie enlisted In the army and served in the Thirtyeighth and Eighty-first Indiana Regiments. The close of the war found him a major. He went to Iafayette and became associate tdltor of the Lafayette Journal. In 1871 he came to this city and was employed In the business department of the Journal. Later he made a contract with the Sentinel and served one year with that paper. In 1S76 he went to the News as manager of the circulation and advertising departments, and it was not long until he was general manager of the business department of the paper and part owner. Charles R. Williams became editor of the paper after Mr. Holliday's retirement from the News, Mr. Williams representing the Smith interest. The story of how Major Richards and Charles R. Williams and Delavan Smith disagreed, and hew Major Richards began proceedings against his partners, which ended in the sale of the News at the enormous price of $936,000 to Messrs. Smith and Williams, is well known to the public. So. after many years, the old team of Holllday and Richards again enters the newspaper arena, and it is expected that the struggle between the two larger afternoon papers will be fierce. Major Richards has never believed the public demanded a reduction of the price of good newspapers to 1 cent, and he said yesterday that unless the opposition cut the price the Tress would be a 2-ccnt paper. . Mr. Ileverlilge Will Not Talk. CHICAGO. Aug. 31. United States Senator Albert J. Beveridge, of Indiana, arrived In Chicago to-day from the Philippines, where he has been for six months. The senator positively declined to answer questions concerning his experiences In and Impressions of the Philippines further than to say that he had seen many Interesting sights, had passed through many new experiences and that the trip had agreed with hlra physically. Senator Beveridge went to the Philippines six months ago merely as an American citizen and not in an official capacity. He will make no official report to the Washington authorities. In the Philippines he was accorded all possible courtesy by the military authorities and part of the time was on the firing line with General Lawton. He was in China, In Japan and penetrated into sections of the Philippines which had not been visited by the American correspondents. BETRAYED FOR A PRICE

BAR.ELIS FRIENDS PAID FOR REVEALING THE FUGITIVE'S ADDRESS. Young: Man Charged vlth Embezzling $1,820 Arrested by the Omaha Follce. A message was received by Superintendent Qulgley from the police of Omaha, Neb., saying that Orus Barnell, who has been wanted In this city for embe2zlement, had been captured in that city and had signified his Intention of returning to Indianapolis without a requisition. About two months ago. Barnell, who had for a long time been employed as salesman and collector by James O'Neill, the local agent of the Pillsbury flour mills, of Minneapolis, was found to be short In his accounts to the extent of 11,820 and the matter was placed In the hands of the representatives of the Fidelity and Guarantee Company, of Baltimore, which had furnl3hed Barneli's bond for $2,000. Frank F. McCrea, the agent of the company, had Barnell brought to his office and then called for the police. Detectives Splann and Wilson responded, but found Mr. McCrea unwilling to have the man arrested at that time. He asked, however, that Supt. Qulgley detail a couple of detectives to watch Barnell, but this, It was explained to him, was lmpractlcable'and Barnell was released. He at once disappeared and within a week the surety company wanted him arrested. A search was made for him, but to no purpose. He was indicted by the grand Jury, and Sheriff Clark gent a deputy to Redkey, whera Barneli's parents live. All trace of him was lost, until the detectives by accident learned that there was a roan in this city who was in correspondence with Barnell. He was sent for and agreed to tell where Barnell could he found "if there was anything In it." When he was Informed that the surety company would pay S13C, less the cost of bringing him to Indianapolis, the informant said he would inform the police as soon as Barnell was located. In a few days he reported that Barnell was working for a wholesale shoe house in Omaha and went by name of Lake. He was reported to be frequenting a saloon conducted by a Minneapolis man, and this information was sent to the Omaha police by Superintendent Qulgley two days ago. Yesterday a message was received that Barnell was In custody and Detective Wilson was sent to bring him here for trial. THE WARD COUNCILMEN. Primaries to Be Held To-Morrow The List of Candidates.

His nones Were Affected Lizzie Jones, a Friendless Colored "Woman, - Drovrns Herself. William Pabron, glass blower from Marion, swallowed an ounce of carbolic acid yesterday afternon and died at St. Vincent's Hospital within an hour afterward. He camo to Indianapolis about three weeks ago and went to the Deaconess Hospital suffering with necrosla of the bone In his left ankle. He was unable to walk without crutches, and after a stay of two weeks at the Deaconess Hospital he moved to St. Vincent's, where it was decided to operate cn the ankle. The time for the operation was fixed for yesterday morning, but, at his request, this was changed to last evening. Before the time came, however, Pabron went out and bought three ouncea of carbolic acid, and, returning to his room, swallowed about onethird of it. When found he was past all help and died in a short time. He learned from consultation vith surgeons that all the bones In his body were affected, and that he could never be restored to the use of his limbs, and it is thought that he took the acid while depressed over this condition. He had a wife and one child at Marion. His wife visited him last Sunday and told the attendants at the time not to prevent him from going out whenever he wanted to. This injunction made it easy for Pabron to secure the acid and take his life. The body was shipped to Marlon last right. HOMELESS AXD FRIENDLESS. Lizzie Jonesa Reason for Drowning; 'Herself in White River. Lizzie Jones, colored, thirty-two years old and homeless, threw herself into White river from the Tenth-street bridge Wednesday night and was found dead in two feet of water yesterday morning by O. B. Fletcher, who lives near by. He saw the body as he walked over the bridge, and at first could not tell whether It was a man or woman. When dragged to the bank it was seen that there was a deep cut over one eye, and this led to the belief that she had been murdered. Fletcher then remembered that he had heard screams during the night before, and, while, for a time, the murder theory was given heed, the investigation instituted by Deputy Coroner Dunlavy and Detectives Asche. Dugan, Kinney and Thornton, proved that it was a suicide. A colored woman, giving the name of "Bunt, Barber, said the dead woman had been in her house the night before and had said she intended to kill herself because she was homeless and friendless. George Bell, a saloon keeper, told the same story. The woman had been a victim to the cocaine habit for some time, and had been released from the Insane Hospital Aug. 21. An tnhappy Wife's. Act. The Dispensary physicians were called to 226 West Chesapeake etreet yesterday afternoon to attend Mrs. William Hill, who was found unconscioug from morphine taken with suicidal intent.
