Objection to Some Features of the Sill Cornea from Crawfordaville Vote-Selling Section, The commission formed several weeks ago to dispose of the Question of a primary election law, will meet to-night at 7:33 o'clock at the Commercial Club assembly rcom to consider the bill providing for primary elections. It having: been completed by the subcommittee named by the executuuiuilkicc vinnn IUQ IUIU1Z113S1UU selected to do this work. This commission U composed of delegates from the State Board of Commerce, the State Federation of Labor, and a number of men whose names were suggested by Chairman Ilernly, of the Republican State committee. II. B. 'New is chairman of tho commission, and ' also of the executive committee. The bill which has Just been completed -consists of sixty-live sections. One of tho 'cnlef features of tho bill 1m the section relating to the buying and selling of votes, and providing a punishment for both. It Is I!ke!y that this section may provoko con"William Fortune, of the fubcommlttee which prepared the bill, yesterday received a letter from A. A.

The trlncipal case Is that of the State vs. Oaborn. in which tr. defense asserted that the Caraway law, under which the prosecution were brought. Is unconstitutional because It provides only disfranchisement as punishment, whereas, according to the Const!tion and defendant & counsel, a man could b disfranchised only upon conviction of an mramous crime, and no crime U In famous that is no punishable by imprison ment and fine.

"We are Just now making an enort to get rid of our floaters under the Caraway law," Mr. McCain writes. "If your law Is passed our efforts will be in vain. We hold that the only practical method of putting an end to vote buying is to enforce the Caraway law. We have had laws making both parties to the transaction liable to punishment, and we have had laws placing the penalty entirely on the buyer. Both were utter failures. Now it would certainly be fooliseh to go back to the old method before giving the new one a fair trial, and especially in the face of a determined effort to demonstrate the efficiency of the new one. We are desperately in earnest in this matter, as we are cursed with the evil perhaps as much as any county in the State, population considered." Mr. Fortune has sent a reply to Mr. McCain defending the bill which has Just been prepared. Among other things Mr Fortune in his letter says: "Whatever may be the force of argument in support of the Caraway law as applied to final elections, I believe that It will be quite Inadvisable to exempt from punishment vote buyers at primary elections. One of the chief evilj aimed at is to purify the methods of conducting contests for nominations. If the law Itself should place no restraint, upon the corrupt methods of candidates, I believe that it would not be favorably received. The crime is of a kind that manifestly deserves punishment and I believe that it would be wrong not to Etlgmatlze it as crime. However, if no consideration Is given to the moral side of the question I believe that there is still considerable difference in the practical side of the question as between the. conditions existing at primary elections and final elections." G. EDWARD PULLER'S PETITION. Ilia Liabilities Amount to $30,107.47, and Ills Assets to 9530. A petition was filed In bankruptcy yesterday by G. Edward Fuller, formerly of this city and Chicago, and now a clerk in Buffalo. He is a brother of E.

OAS FIELD TRIP. Only Members of the Committee Will Take It. The trip of the Council Investigating committee to the gas fields as guests of the Consumers Gas Trust Company will probably be made next week. When the trip was first discussed many of the councilmen were In favo'r of accompanying the committee, but It has been delayed so leng that when the committee does co it Is hardly probable there will be many to take tha trip. The Judiciary committee will make its report to the Council next Monday night on the gas ordinance that was Introduced a few weeks ago. providing that consumers fhall pay nothing when there is no gas. The report will be unfavorable. The ccmmitteo would have reported at the last meeting of tho Council, but Councilman Evans was ill. 1IE1I0RIAL PRESBYTERIAN.

SEAL OUT OF RACE

TIIU NOnLESVILLK MAN NO LONGER CANDIDATE KOIl Si'UAKEIl. Ills IVIthtlravrnI May Add Strength to Artmnn's Canvans, as Iloth Are from the Same District. MR. STTJTESMAN CONFIDENT THERE IS SOME TALK THAT BOXIIA3I 3IAY "WITHDRAW. Anxious Eyes Arc Now Tnrned Upon the Marlon County Delegation Legislative Gossip. The most startling development yester day in the race for speaker of the Indiana House of Representatives was the withdrawal of Edward E. Neal, of Noblesville. Mr. Neal announced last night that he had withdrawn from the contest. He had reached the conclusion, he said, that he could not win, and he did not see the advisability of going on fighting a hopeless battle. Mr. Neal Is court reporter of Hamilton county, and on account of a rush of work has been unable to get out and see the members of the House. He returned home last night, where he has sickness in his family. His wife Is ill with the grip, his eldest daughter has the mumps and two younger daughter have the whooping cough. It is pointed out that Neal's withdrawal necessarily means additional strength for Samuel R. Artman, of Lebanon, who Is making his headquarters at the Hotel English. Neal and Artman are from the same district and it is understood Neal's friends in the district will be for the Lebanon man. Neal openly announces that he is for Artman. The latter appeared more confident than ever yesterday evening. There was talk yesterday to tho effect that John A. Bonham would withdraw from tho race before the caucus next Wednesday night. One man who appears to be In a position to know said that Bonham would probably withdraw, but he did not know at what stage in the proceedings this would take place. The impression still prevails that the Marlon county representation will be able to name the speaker. The Marion county people have had no rormai meeting recently. It Is exoected. however, that they will have a meeting one night this week, and that after this meeting It will be positively announced who will receive their support. Those who have been watching the fight still In sist that the contest Is narrowing down to a battle between Artman and Stutesman. The latter expresses himself as conr.dent or a final victory, "I am going to win this fight," said Mr. Stutesman, last night, at the Columbia Club. A. A. Burrler, representative frcjn Grant county, about whose position If the speakership contest there has been some doubt, arrived in the city yesterday and announced that he was for Mr. Stutesman. SEEKING LOCATIONS. Members of the Legislature Who Will Live at Hotels. The members of the Legislature are beginning to arrange for their apartments in the city, for the two months they will be here and many of them expect to live at the hotels. Senator E. II. Wolcott, f Wolcott, has already arrived at the Denison with his family. Manager Cullen says a number of the legislators expect to stop there. At the Hotel English, Samuel R Artman is located with his family. Amor.,; the others who will stay at the English are Dr. O. M. Keyes, of Dana; Dr. Oliver Card, of Frankfort; Senator Fremont Goodwine, of Williamsport: Newton W. Gilbert, lieutenant governor elect; Representative H. IL Thomas, of Frankfort; Representative Davis, of Williamsburg; Senator Gochenour, of Roann; and Senator Agnew, of Valparaiso. Senator Winfleld, of Logansport, has engaged rooms at the Bates. Representative Scott, of Montgomery county, when he was in the city a few weeks ago, said that he and Mrs. Scott would probably live at the Imperial during the session. BLUE LABELS TOOK THREE.

SONS OF THE REVOLUTION. An Interesting Smoker nt the Com merclnl Club. The Sons or the Revolution gave a smoker In the Commercial Clubrooms last night In commemoration of the battle of Princeton. The attendance was not larpe. but the evening was pleasantly spent. No set programme hampered the social features of the celebration, which was really tho prime purpose of the meeting. The Rev. Allan II. Thilputt delivered an ad dross, "The Tattle of rrinccton," which was a recital of the events leading up to the memorable conflict and Its decisive result. The figure of Washington in the campaign and battle was made paramount in his discourse and he entertainingly presented the facts and causes which Identified Princeton with the revolution. The Rev. Lewis lirown chose the subject, "What i.H Required for ti Membership In the Sons of the Revolution. He explained that member must bo ab!e to phow by their HneHge that they are descendants of tho

wUj fought in the revolutionary war. The

high degree of Integrity as a necessary qualification for membership, he paid, was required to maintain the dignity and standard of the society, which has ever been set above all el.e. As the attendance was almost exclusive ly from the membership It was seen flt to transact a little business, a resolution was adopted to be presented to the Legislature through some representative, itsklng" that a Hag; and pole be placed at every schoolhouse In the State, the State to bear the expense. Another resolution passed was In the Interest of the Sons of the Revolution and other similar societies and orders. Its provisions are that the Sons of the Revolution shall ask other societies founded upon sfmilar principles, to join with it In promoting their social welfare by uniting their societies and orders for that particular purpose. J. C. Tarkinpton presided while the programme and business was carried out.

THE NEW LINE OPENED FIRST CAR OX THE t'MOX TRACTION COMPANY'S ROAD. It "Was an Inspection Trip and the Car Cnrrled Ciueats of the Company. Tho first car over the Union Traction Company Interurban line from Anderson pulled into Indianapolis yesterday afternoon, carrying officials of the company, a few Indianapolis councilmen and newspaper representatives from the various towns through which the Union Traction . Company operates. Before the ftart was made tho guests of the company dined with Charles L. Henry, of the company, in Anderson. The trip was one of pleasure and inspection, and tho car did not run on schedule time. The old cars of the company were used, as the road is not ballasted all the way and the heavy new cars are too wide to run over the tracks of tho Indianapolis Street-railway Company until the center trolley poles are removed, which will be done in the near future. The power for the system is to be generated at Anderson, where a new power house has been erected with three 2,000 horse power engines. Two of the engines will be sufficient to furnish power, but the third will be kept in reserve in case of emergency. The cars will leave Indianapolis and Anderson every hour eighteen hours of the day. They will run into Indianapolis over the Coliege-avenue line. The company also operates lines from Marion to Anderson, Muncio to Anderson and from Elwood to Anderson by way of Alexandria, aggregating a mileage, including the systems in the cities, of 163 miles. In a shcrt time the line from Muncle will run through to Indianapolis, making a continuous trip. VETERINABY ASSOCIATION. The Scml-Annunl Meeting Held at the Statchouse. The Indiana State Veterinary Association held its twenty-fourth semi-annual meeting yesterday in the agricultural room at the Statchouse. The afternoon session was devoted to the dispatch of miscellaneous business and the election of officers, which resulted as follows: President, J. C. Rodger, of Anderson; vice president, W. F. Myers, of Fort Wayne; treasurer, O. L. Boor, of Muncic; secretary, G. 11. Roberts, of Indianapolis. At the evening session, which began at 8 O'clock, Prof. A. W. Biting, of Purdue University, read an interesting and instructive paper on "Local Meat and Milk Inspection." Other papers were read by Dr. O. L. Boor, of Muncle, on "Some Things Learned by Experience," and by Dr. James Culbert, of Portland, on the "Use of Barium Chloride." DEATH OF W. 0. HAYS. Acnte Attack of Pneumonia Followed Other Troubles. W. O. Hays, of 221 West Michigan street, died at 11:43 o'clock last night of pneumonia. An acute attack came upon him about three o'clock yesterday. Tuesday Dr. Wright, of the City Dispensary, was called to attend him for morphine poisoning, and after working with him for about twenty hours succeeded in overcoming the effects of the drug. He was, however, very weak from the treatment. Hays made no explanation of the morphine poisoning, except to say that he took It for a severe headache and cold. He was about thirty years of age, and was for many years in the employ of the Kingan Company. He was quite prominent in politics, and four years ago was the Republican nominee for city clerk. He leaves a widow and One child. CITY NEWS NOTES. The State Board of Health has been notified of a case of genuine smallpox, which has been discovered at Osgood, Ripley county. Milton Cobler, a workman on the new monument candelabra, fell from one of the scaffolds yesterday morning and was severely bruised. He was taken to his home at 703 East Market street. The annual meeting of tho Indianapolis Audubon Society will be held this evening in the assembly rooms of the Commercial Club. It is to be called tho twentieth century meeting. The election of officers will occur. The fire department was called last evening to the home of Ed Strong, at 438 South Meridian street, where a fire started, It was thought, from spontaneous combustion. The fire was discovered early and there was but $3 loss. The Indianapolis Art Association will hold Its regular monthly meeting Tuesday next. at which time it is thought the finance com mittee will report relative to the proposed purchase of the Talbott place property for the site of the Herron Art Museum. It is said to be probable, that at the election of officers of the national banks of the city, which is now being arranged for. there will be but few if any changes. The election will be held, as provided by law, on the second Tuesday In this month. Inaugural Rail Invitations. The receipt of the invitations to the in augural ball of Governor Durbln has been delayed by an error which necessitated tne .engraving ot a new piate ana a second printing. The ball is promoted by the citizens committee, and after the invita tions ,had been addressed and ready for the mall it was discovered that the en graver had made a mistake, misplacing the apostrophe and using the word "clt izen s. The Invitations will now be mailed to-morrow night. Two thousand of them will go to residents of Indianapolis, and 3.000 to other parts of the State. It is claimed the invitation list, which wa3 compiled by Republican and Democratic chairmen throughout the State, will be found to be about equally divided as to politics. Mine "Workers Convention. The convention of the United Mine Workers of America will convene here Jan 21 and will continue for about ten days There will be about 1.0X delegates from all parts of the United States. Many of the delegates, it is said, will go to Columbus, O., immediately after the convention for the Joint conference of the operators and the miners, and there is some talk of chartering a special train for the trip. so that all delegates may go and attend the conference in a body. The Zuehlln Lectures. It may please those Interested In the Zueblin lecture course to kno that the "course tickets." which are $1 for six lec tures, will permit a free use without re gard to the dates on the coupons, or.e such ticket being usable by six people ut any lecture, or by one person for each of the six. blngle admission is otherwise 25 cents.

THE THOMAS ORCHESTRA

LAHOR AUJIECK 1IEAUS IT AX i:GLisirs OPERA HOISE. ) Tlic Programme So Arranged as to 3Ieet All Requirements of Artistic Taste. Those unfamiliar with the strong hold which Theodore Thomas has on the Indianapolis music-loving public might have been surprised at the great audience which turned out to greet the distinguished con ductor and his splendid Chicago Orchestra at English's Opera House last night especially in view of the brilliant social func tion in progress not so very far away. When Mr. Thomas comes to Indianapolis, however, there Is always an adjustment of other engagements to that particular event. The hearing of such exquisite mel ody as that of last night is indeed an event In anybody's life. Just to watch the per fect grace and marvelous ease of the director's movements Is a satisfaction and a joy. He does not draw out melody. He simply commands it, just as the immobile idols of heathen lands are believed by de votees to command them to a variety of frenzied acts. The conductor's arms and hands and occasionally Ms impressive head are all the parts of his body that move. The secret of his wonderful control over his musicians must, then, lie in his expressive countenance Looking into it, as do the dervishes into the face of their graven deity, they catch the needed Inspiration. A delightful feature of Mr. Thomas's conducting is that he does not allow himself to yield to the modern inclination to haste, which spoils so many pieces that would otherwise be dignified, stately and beautiful. All there is of melody, of sweetness, of subtle witchery and of uplifting: power in a selection, he brings forth to the uttermost. An evening with Thomas and his orchestra, therefore, is an evening of soul-llftlng, of strengthening to the better part of one's nature. HIGHER MUSIC. Theodore Thomas deals 'solely with tho higher class of music, and yet he is such a consummate master of the art of programme making that he produces the ef fect of a popular programme by an artful grouping of the better known and more easily understood classics. The overture "Jubilee" from Wagner, for instance, is a severe classic, and yet who could fail to catch Its spirit of unrestrained exultation, or to bo touched into patriotic fervor by Its triumphant close with the air known In this country under the title "America, in England as "God Save the Queen" and in Germany as "Heil Dir im Siegerkranz." This was succeeded by the brilliant tone poem, "Un tne snores or sorrento, Dy Richard Strauss, one of the younger com posers. The poem is more than a meioaic versification; it Is a music painting, with the divided strings furnishing the deeptinted background and the scintillations of brighter colors supplied by the remaining instruments. It has been aptly described thus: "The shimmer of the strings might easily be Interpreted as a description of the restlessness of the sea, ever which the melodies of the wind In struments play like glintings of the sunlight." The first part of the concert was brought to a climax by the everpopular and enjoyable Beethoven Fifth Symphony (No. 5, C minor. Opus 67.) This marvelous composition has been a puzzle, to all who have ever heard It. Some have suggested that the gTeat composer meant the first movement to be typical of "Fate knocking at the gate." but he is said to have denied this. Nevertheless, the piece Is strongly suggestive of a life story, with all its lights and shades of Joy and sorrowsorrow naturally predominating, though often relieved with a tinge of Joy, and occasionally obscured entirely in a burst of triumphant ecstasy, notably at the close, which is a crescendo note of victory. A PLEASING VARIATION. Smetana's beautiful descriptive symphony "Vysehrad" was a pleasing variation from the previous numbers. Here the orchestra had its first opportunities to sound notes of knightly chivalry, utter martial hymns of praise and give glimpses of actual, deadly, ruinous warfare. A series of dream pictures of olden times Is evoked by this composition. One sees the castle of Vysehrad rise again in all its pristine glory; its courts resound once more with the hurried tramping of knights, eager for the tourney, which is heralded by the trumpets and cymbals; the warriors range themselves In battle line, prepared for the coming triumphs; tho castle shakes to Its foundations with songs of exultation. The picture changes. The vision takes on another phase. Vysehrad is the scene of fearful carnage Instead of unrestrained rejoicing. The conflict rages until the splendid castle Is only a silent ruin, a mere memory of splendor past and gone. Through the ruins rises faintly the sweet song of the singer prince, Lumir. The greatest enthusiasm of the evening was aroused by the masterly rendition of Edouard Lalo's "Norwegian Rhapsody," known in Paris as the "Swedish Rhapsody," dedicated to the distinguished French conductor, Edouard Colonne. The tempo in this number undergoes several changes and there is a delicious freedom from restraint through it all that makes the piece particularly acceptable to tho popular ear. At times it seems as though the instruments have decided to take a holiday and are indulging in a gay frolic or revel. So greatly did the audience enjoy the selection that they burst into a spontaneous expression of their pleasure in the midst of the playing a compliment which tho conductor's sense of .artistic fitness did not prevent him from appreciating. The last number on the prolamine was a group of selections from Wagner's opera "Tannhaeuser," arranged so as to epitomize the dramatic action of the third act of the opera. This was rendered with consummate art, the contrasting expressions of despair and hope being given perfect enunciation. The Introduction, as given last night, is from a manuscript copy of the original composition that has not yet been printed. The presence in the orchestra of Bruce Steindcl, the brilliant 'cellist, who was heard here in solo last year, was noted with pleasure. It is hoped that Mr. Stelndel will be given another opportunity later In the present- season to charm an audience as he did on the occasion of his former appearance. A delightful feature of the concert was the splendid work of the harpists, one of whom is a woman. Mr. John H. Stem makes the announcement that the city is to have Conductor Thomas and his orchestra for another concert, the date of which Is fixed for Feb. 7. Religious Services for Deaf-Mates. The Rev. Austin W. Mann, general missionary In the diocese of the middle West, will hold a service of the holy communion at St. Alban's Deaf-mute Mission, in the chapel of St. Paul's Church, on Sunday, Jan. 6, at 10:30 a. m.
