PSEUDO FARMERS' GAME UOW THEY TURNED A CLEVER TRICK IN EARLY JIOItMNG BAR. Rough Clothes und Rural Air Could Not Diigniae Their Smoothness A Missing Watch. The cleverest criminals often betray themselves in their anxiety to make a haul, whether wjth the aid of a set of burglar tools or merely with deft fingers. It Is believed that such a case came under the notice of a party of early morning New Year's day celebrators and later to the attention of the police. Mark Williams, aged sixty-five, and Oliver Williams, aged twenty-seven, claiming Muncle as their home, are locked up at the police station awaiting a trial to-morrow on the charge, of drunkenness, and a more serious charge may be placed against them before they are tried. The two men have the appearance of being Ignorant farmers, as their dress and general make-up when arrested was of the rural type. They were shabbily dressed, wore boots, slouchy hats and flashy rcufilers. Their talk was of the backwoods kind, but their eyes were as keen as the smoothest crook's. It was their eyes and their desire to see and hear all that was going on In a certain place early yesterday morning that helped to land them behind the bars. They had a chance to get away, but their evident desire to remain longtr for some purpose increased the suspicions of the crowd of bystanders. WANTED TO TRADE THINGS. The two "farmers strolled Into the "early moiring" bar at the Kingston saloon quite early. In fact the New Year was but two or three hours old when they prepared to "camp out" in the barroom. They talked trade and offered to "swap" anything they had "sight-unseen." They got close to people and kept up an air of farmer innocence. About 4 o'clock in the morning three or four men who had missed ineir nigni owi cars wandered into the early morning bar. Their attention was soon attracted by the movements and ac lions ot tne two "farmers." The strangers rhowed their "wise eyes." and the new comers decided to wait and see what game was to be played. The "farmers" drank often and th. m man appeared to be under the influence of ; liquor. The two frequently went to another room and conversed, and once started to leave the place, but returned. The old man took a chair very near to another nia ai a. laoie. i ne tnird person was evl dently asleep and the old farmer feigned sleeping. His hand slipped under the table while the younger farmer kept his eyes on . me uniium in waicn ine crowd. In a uimuies me younger rarmer shook the older cne by the arm und gave the sign ii wa? ume to go.

'S SWEEP C. K. XUWLIX WILL, HKOIUiAMZE STATE PROHIBITION PARTY. evr State Chairman Given Detail of Vinn for Ilnlldlns; Ip Unit of Organisation. CAMPAIGN OF EDUCATION l'EOPLK WILL DE TALGIIT WHAT PROIIIDITIO.V REALLY MEAXS. Temperance Xot the Main Issue, 31 r. Sewlln Declares Xetrs and Xotes of Indiana Politics. The, Prohibition party held open house yesterday and from the hours of 3 to 6 o'clock the State headquarters In the Newton Claypool building was thronged with members of the party and their families and friends. State Chairman Charles E. Newlln and Mrs. Newlin, Secretary Edward Clarke and Mrs. Clarke, and Treasurer C. M. Lemon and Mrs. Lemon received tho guests and offered the best wishes of the party for a prosperous new year. For the refreshment of the visitors the officers had provided baskets of apples, candies, with nuts and cold water. The only suggestion of liquor that could be found In the headquarters was in the apples, which, to growers of fruit, are known as wine' saps. Each guest at the headquarters was presented with a picture of the State chairman and a greeting for the year. The greeting expressed the hope for a prosperous year In business and success in his every endeavor and enlarged on the prospects for the future of the Prohibition party. Chairman Newlin, of the committee, has concluded to devote his entire attention to the management of the Prohibition party, and to this end has retired from business and has established a permanent headquar ters In Suite 723, Newton Claypool build ing. He will begin a campaign of education In the next two years and is sure that at the next election the result of the efforts of himself and fellow-officers of the commit tee will be evidenced in the vote cast. A reorganization is planned similar to that of the old line parties and to accomplish this Mr. Newlin has concluded to begin the work early In the year. Mr. Newlin said yesterday In discussing the outlook for his party: TASK OP REORGANIZATION. "As I see it now my work will be prin cipally along two lines. First, I shall reorganize the party organization as we have it In the State, beginning by holding a district meeting in each or the thirteen districts-as early In January as I can ar range. This will enable me to meet some of our people from practically every coun ty in the State in a short time, and to these I can outline my scheme of reorgani zation. Then, as rapidly as I can, I shall hold a county meeting tor reorganization in every county In the State. As county chairman of Marlon county during this last campaign I succeeded in getting the precinct organization almost as complete as either the Republican or Democratic parties. I hope to do the same for every county in the State so far as possible during the next two years. "The other task which I shall set myself, which seems to me only second to that of organization, is the giving of a better understanding of what the Prohibition party Is and what it hopes to accomplish. A large per cent, of the people of all political parties have looked upon the Prohibition party very mucb as though it were another temperance organization coordinate with the Good Templars' lodge, the Murphy League, the W. C. T. U. and the Anti-saloon League. "The Prohibition party is po more a temperance organization -than Is the State Teachers Association, which was in session In the city during the week. A very large percentage of the membership of each are total abstainers from Intoxicating drink as a beverage, but no one would think of calling the State Teachers Association a temperance organization, nor should they think of the Prohibition party as such. The Prohibition party Is a political organization striving to gain pos session or the omces or the government from constable to President not primarily for the sake of the office, but for the sake of the carrying out of the policies which they think essential to a righteous republican government. They are opposed to class legislation, think it as vicious to legislate specially for the laboring class as specially for the capitalist class. They are especially opposed to the government legalizing and deriving revenue from and thus entering Into complicity with any in stltutlon which the Supreme Court has recognized as being immoral and against the best interests or the public. "When the people once recognize these ideas as being the fundamental ones of the Prohibition party and that they are making no attempt to 'make people moral by law or 'legislate for people's appetites. but that they are standing for a great political principle, I believe the growth of the party will be very rapid." IIUnnLE WILL COXTEST. Seat of State Senator-Elect "SI" Powell in Jeopardy. A special to the Journal from Winamac announces that Lewis W. Hubble, the Dem orcratlc candidate for state senator from the district of Cass and Pulaski counties, will contest the seat of Senator-elect "SI" Powell, of Logansport, on the ground that Towell was Ineligible to election because he did not resign his office as auditor of Cass county prior to the election. The special also states that Hubble says he will take his seat when the Legislature convenes. A member of the Senate who was told of Hubble's announcement last night made the terse comment: "Hubble may make a contest, but as to his taking the seat the only seat he will take will be one out in the lobby or In the visitors' gallery. Powell resigned his office as auditor before the erection. The Republican organization did not overlook any small points like that and permit any of the party's legislative candidates to render themselves ineligible to election." It Is believed that the proposed Hubble contest is a Democratic move to offset the possible contest of James M. Singer's seat by former Senator Guthrie. Terms of City Official. The members of the Legislature from Vanderburg county and Representative Hemenway held a conference In Evansville Wednesday night to discuss a proposed measure making the terms of the city officials In the smaller cities of the State four years instead of two. Several Mount Vernon citizens were present nt the meeting and it was determined to Introduce such a Mil early In the approaching session of the Legislature. This question has also been discussed by a number of Marlon county people with reference to the terms of tho officials of Indianapolis. It has been stated that Mayor Rookwalter favors the proposition, and he said to the Journal some weeks ago that he believed much good would result from a change in the law such that the office of mayor would be made four years, with the additional provision that the incumbents be ineligible for re-election. Xerv Oil IiiHpeetlon Lair. The new ell inspection law went Into effect yesterday and Sid Conger, of Flatrock. Is now the State Inspector, succeeding W. C. Zaring. Under the new law benzine, gasoline and naphtha will be Inspected us well as ietroleum and the same fees will be, charged. The new law also rovkks

0R001

that one-half the fees derived from the Inspection shall be turned into the state treasury and that the State supervisor shall be paid a salary of $2.500, instead of depending on fees for his compensation. Political Pickups. Representative Warren G. Sayre. of Wabash was in the city last night. Representative Henry W. Marshall spent New Year's day at his home in Lafayette. Former State Senator Eph Inman, of Washington, Ind., was in the city last night. A. W. Wishard. solicitor In the Treasury Department for the Bureau of Internal Revenue, will return to Washington tonight or to-morrow morning. George F. Ogden, of Wabash, has announced his candidacy for the position of assistant clerk of the House. Mr. Ogden is department commander of the Sons of Veterans for the State of Indiana. The legislative committee on visiting stale institutions is finding that the compilation of Its report is a big task. Senator Goodwine said last evening that it would keep the committee hustling to finish its report before the Legislature opens. HOTEL LOBBY GLEANINGS

THE DEXISOX HAS PUT IXTO tSE AX EXTIRELY XEW RILE. Soch n. Thins at a Resister Will Xot Longer Be Known-llowt Club Dinner Hotel Visitors. The register of the Denison was closed at midnight, Dec. 31, and it was closed never to be opened again, nor will a new one be opened In its stead. This does not mean, however, that the Denison has closed Its doors and that the hostelry, which has been one of the best known In the West for thirty years, will no longer receive guests; it means simply that the Denison has adopted an Innovation which calls for the abolition of the register. Guests instead of registering on- the big ledger that lies open on the desk of practically every hotel in the country will write their names and addresses on a small blank which is put on a file by the clerk and kept from the eyes of anyone and everyone who wanders up to the desk. The blanks are in the following form: Room No. File No. S7. 13S. Name John Jones. City Chicago. State-Illinois. The Denison is the first hotel in the West to adopt the new system, and one of the first two in the country. The Falmouth Hotel, F. H. Nunns, proprietor, Portland, Me., began the new year of 1903 with this plan of registration, and it is stated that the Denison and Falmouth are the only hotels in the United States that have done so. There are several virtues claimed for the Innovation. It saves the clerk trouble in handling a bulky book every time a guest registers, and It Is a great convenience to the bookkeeper. Still again it frees the space in front of the desk of the chronic hotel lobby loafer who pores over the register without any object other than the gratification of his curiosity half a dozen times a day, and it guards the privacy of guests. It is pointed out that it is not the public's business who is stopping at a hotel; that it is a matter between the hotel management and the guest. A further virtue claimed for the system is that it saves guests many embarrassments from persons who look over a register, see a name and a room and then bolt up to the room without so much as sending up a card or saying "by your leave" to the clerk. However, for all the conveniences and virtues of the new system there is one individual who will have to give some little time to studying it before he can learn to think well of it, and that Is the hotel reporter. The open register has always ben a practical assignment book to him. He looks over the list of arrivals, sees a name that gives promise of a "story" and sends up his card; a glance at the open book and he knows if there are any men of State or national prominence in the house, and he can govern himself accordingly. Under the new system he will have to know that the man he wants is in the hotel before he can get after his "story." The management of the Denison predict that the new system will prove popular, and that It will not be a great while before practically all the European-plan houses, at least, adopt iL HOWE CLL'B DIXXER. Alumni of Military School Banqueted at the Hotel English. The Howe Club of Indiana, composed of alumni and students of the Howe Military Academy, located at Lima, this State, gave a dinner at the English at 2 o'clock yes terday which waa attended by thirty mem bers. Dr. J. H, McKenzie, the rector of the academy, was a guest. The Howe Club is a new organization, having been formed within the past year, and the dinner of yesterday was the first that it has given. Dr. McKenzie, however, has for the past thirteen years given a dinner here " on New Year's day for the Howe graduates and undergraduates, and the club was organized to take charge of the affairs in the future. The officers of the club are: It. C. Adams, Jr., Indianapolis, president: H. G. Neely, Anderson, treas urer, and F. D. Aid, Indianapolis, secre tary. President Adams presided as toastmaster. and responses of an informal nature were made by Dr. McKenzie, A. Q. Jones and W. W. Hammond. Dr. McKenzie told of the work of the school during the present year, the number of .students, and the nrospects for the coming year. The object of the dinners is to stimulate interest in Howe and to foster the love of the graduates for alma mater. The guests at the dinner yesterday Included Howe men from this city, Anderson, Muncle. Martinsville and several other cities, the larger number being from Indianapolis. ' Last night the club gave its annual dance at the Brenneke Academy. XOT KXOWX IX KEXTl'CKY. There Are Limits to the Fame of Ja tue Whltcomb Riley. There was an incident in the lobby of the Denison yesterday that illustrated one or all of three things that Kentucky is a little world sufficient unto itself, that there are many Interesting and important things that arc not taught at colleges and that fame is a very uncertain quantity. James Whitcomb Riley, the poet, entered the Denison and was met by two or three acquaintances among some college men, who are in the city to attend a fraternity convention. The poet was soon the center of a small group, on the outskirts of which stood a young collegian from the bluegrass State. After the group had dispersed a bystander asked the Kntuckian. "Is Mr. Riley a member of your fraternity?,, Who?" "Mr. Riley, James Whitcomb Riley, the poet." "Nope. Guess not. Never heard of him, anyhow. Where's he from?". VisltorM nt the lintels. John V. Ream, of Reacon, la., a member of the board of the United Mine Workers, arrived in the city yesterday. lie Is stopping at the Occidental. The members of the De Pauw University Glee Club arrived in the city yesterday from Greenfield, where it gave a concert Now Year's .ve. Adolph Schellschmidt. of Indiana' polls.

Kinsey Rrokerage Company. Toomey had already been interested In the company and Increases his holdings with the new deal. Mr. Kinsey leaves for California shortly, but the buslnesa will be continued in his name. He will continue as president of the company.

SEATED ON WATER WAGON

PASSEXtiERS STRUGGLE FOR PLACES OX THE AXCIEXT VEHICLE. Um aal Resolutions to Quit Numerous Forma of Naughtiness Slade on First Day of the Year. The water wagon started on its annual trip at midnight Wednesday and up until a late hour this morning was traveling well under weight. When the wagon started it was loaded to the guards. Men were struggling for positions on the seats, the roof was crammed with passengers and a friendy competition was held for the reins and the brake of the vehicle. The coaching horn was tooted often and by many. One toot was allowed each man every once in a while, and if the toots could have been nterpreted they would have been, "I have not taken a drink this year." The water. wagon, when last seen, was not so crowd ed. Several falls from It had been made. and a few passengers were being held on by anxious friends. These, with their feet dragging the ground, formed a handicap to the horses, which showed clearly that sooner or later the trip would abruptly end and the old wagon again be laid up for repairs. A trip over the path of the wagon would have been ruinous to shoes and dangerous to bicyclists. The path was literally strewn with broken glass and demolished bottles. Those fat, square-faced bottles in which Is kept, and more often poured out, gin, were there. The long, thin-necked bottles familiar to the young man who tries to be a good fellow and spends his dally pay for one of them were there. Large "schoon ers," known to the man who believes in quantity and is not insistent on quality, blocked the road in places and the thin. shell glasses from which "here's luck" is drawn helped to add to the litter. STOPPED AT THE CLUBS. The water wagon made its stops during the early morning hours at the clubs. Passengers getting on struggled with each other for good seats, and at the hotels cargoes of "blue-rlbbcn-f rom-now-on-for-me boys" endangered the springs of the wagon by leaps for places. At one or two stops some fellows got off. Reminiscent talks of what happened a year ago and how the' resolutions suffered induced many of the men to give up the attempt and their ambition not to miss an opportunity if they were to begin the inevitable dur ing the year caused a disembarkation. The water wagon caused some hard feel ings. The saloon keeper and the restaurant man, the cigar dealer and the wine merchant do not believe in the good points of the team and the stability of the vehicle. For many years they have watched the Journey to Its end and always found that the wagon was a poor craft for a man to board on New Year's day. It has some effect, though, for ten days after New Year's. In the language of the street, "there Is nothing doing" at the clubs or saloons or cigar stores. Men swear off and they stay sworn off for a few' days. Dur ing this time they spend their money on candy and flowers and girls and theater tickets and their leisure hours in writing congratulatory letters to themselves and posing before the looking glass in sober attitudes. This causes suffering among the liquor tradesmen. Business is business and rents and light bills must be paid. To pay them it is needed that the customers bring their custom. But the tradesmen accept it. They know what they are "up against,' for each year furnishes an example. But they retain hopes and they can see in the distance on the road which the water wagon traverses numerous chuck holes and ob structions . which, sooner or later, cause the passengers to become alarmed. QUITTING MANY THINGS. The resolutions to give up drinking and cigars were not the only ones. Some men and some girl. made resolutions yesterday which, if they live up to them, will make this earth a second Paradise. Resolutions to quit smoking cigarettes, quit playing rag-time, quit going to theaters, quit teasing little sisters and quit fooling young men who Imagine that they are "it," but are "nit." and all sorts of others were registered. Married men resolved to take their wives out of tener. Married women resolved to no longer ask embarrassing questions when office hours unaccountably prolonged the absences of their husbands, Little boys resolved to quit asking lmpos s'ble questions of their fathers and little girls resolved that they would agree with other little girls that their dolls were equal ly as sweet as their own. Street car conductors resolved to be more courteous and the management of the road resolved that it would lease Itself to another terminal company, Walters in restaurants resolved that they would look pleasant and furnish mucilage with every plate of oatmeal served to reilows accidentally dropped from the water wagon, Newspaper carriers resolved to tell the truth about extras and policemen resolved to stay out of saloons and dodge bad Sumatra-wrappered cigars. The telephone girls resolved that they would answer some call3 and that they would not always find a much wanted line busy. Men who have seldom gone to church in recent years, but who have an ambition to go some time, resolved that they would do it. Definite plans were not formed by many, but In a hazy way it was resolved that some day, when the ushers were not looking, they would sneak in church and get 'under an areaway to keep the roof from falling around them. Some politicians resolved that they would quit being politicians and become states men. One elevator boy is Known to nave nromised himself that he would only read three pages of his novel after hearing a call and several newspaper reporters re solved that they would confine themselves strictly to legitimate news and serve it as true as could consistently be done and tell the "story." Farewell to naughtiness is the clarion call. FUNERAL OF AUSTIN H. BROWN. It Will Be Held To-Morrow Afternoon at 2 o'clock. The funeral of the late Austin IL Brown will be held to-morrow afternoon at 2 o'clock from the First Baptist Church, and the remains will be taken from there after the services and placed In a vault in Crown Hill Cemetery until further arrangements for the burial are made by the fam ily. The funeral will be conducted by the Scottish Rite Masons, a member of which organization Mr. Brown was for many years. The details of the funeral will be conducted by a committee from the lodge. headed by Francis T. Holllday, which will act as pallbearers. At the funeral service held in the church the Rev. Thomas J. Villers will preach a sermon before the ritual of the lodge is followed in the funeral service. At the funeral of Mr. Brown, In addi tion to William J. Brown, will be the many friends and relatives, including' Rear Admiral George Brown, a brother; Joseph Brown, an uncle, and Mrs. Woodvllle Browning and daughter, Eliza G. Brownine. sister and niece. Austin H. jjrown. who lives in California, will not attend the funeral because of the Impossibility of his reaching Indianapolis in time. Dr. Ralph CJ. Morsjan Dead. Dr. Ralph G. Morgan, aged twenty-nine. died yesterday morning of acute peritonitis at his home, 2316 North Illinois street. Dr. Morgan leaves a widow. He was well known in local medical circles, and is remembered by many physicians as the bed-fellow of Dr. Shobe, and fortunately escaped death In the Indiana Medical College nre in 18j7. Dr. Shobe was so badly burned In- tlje fire that he died shortly afterward, but Dr. Morstan escaped with slight Durns. Dr. Morgan was educated In Purdue University and In his profession at the Indiana Medical College, from which he graduated in 1507. He was a member of the Indianapolis Alumni Club of the Phi Delta Thcta

fraternity, and this organization will meet

Sunday to pass resolutions of condolence. Tiro Deaths at Poor Farm. Two Inmates of the county poor farm died yesterday. Lizzie Beck, eighty-one, died of tuberculosis of the joints at midnight Wednesday. The woman's home Is In Wayne county, where she has relatives who will receive her body. The other death was that of Fred Robertson from dropsy. Robertson lived in Center township, and became an inmate of the Institution Wednesday. He was thirty-seven years old. GOVERNOR'S ANNOUNCEMENT. He Will Xot Consider Appeals for Clemency Until After Legislature. Governor Durbln will consider no more appeals for executive clemency until thirty days after the adjournment of the Legislature. That announcement was made by the Governor yesterday, who realizes that his time will be so completely occupied by affairs of a legislative nature that he will have no time to hear pardon requests. NEW OFFICERS SWORN IN OATH ADMINISTERED TO STATE AXD COUXTY OFFICIALS. Induction of John McGregor as Com missioner the Show Event of the Day State Officers. If Robert E. Metzger William E. Davis, Henry Klaussman. John C. Ruckelshaus, Harry Tutewller, John McGregor and Lew Shank, the new sheriff, clerk, surveyor, prosecuting attorney, coroner, county commissioner and recorder of Marlon county. have all of the prosperous times and suc cess in their offices wished them for the year 1903 yesterday by a crowd of guests to their reception they will be an efficient, capable and prosperous staff of officers. Yesterday was the day appointed by law for these officers to take their offices and to enter upon the duties of their public trust. The official oaths to all but Commissioner McGregor were administered by retiring County Clerk George B. Elliott and to McGregor by County Auditor Harry B. Smith. The oath to McGregor was made the show event of the day and at 10 o'clock In the morning the county auditor's office was thronged with friends of McGregor and friends of the administration, who greeted him with a willing cheer when, for the third time, he was sworn to faithfully conduct the official duties Imposed upon hlra by Harry B. Smith, county auditor. Col. Smith, after shaking McGregor by the hand and smiling on him in an approving way, proceeded to make a little talk to . the crowd in which he "threw bouquets" in the air and deliberately pushed McGregor under them. What John McGregor's service to the county has been and what it always will be and his devotion to the good old Republican party was gone over by Col. Smith and he concluded by congratulating Marion county on securing for three terms such a good servant. , FESTIVITIES BEGAN. ;' After the McGregor incident the festivi ties commenced. Thirty barrels of red and green apples, some large, some small, some sour and most of them sweet, were dis pensed to the visitors to the recorder's office, where the celebration was held. In addition to the apples cigars were given out. Some of the cigars were just cigars and others were good cigars, and from the assembled odors in the room It was evi dent that without Intention four or five bad cigars had crept In unnoticed. Everybody enjoyed himself and everybody took a cigar. Some fellows took two cigars and from the protestations of fealty that were heard It struck the casual observer as wonderful how any opposition to any of the candidates was possible at. the primaries. The crowd was for everybody and the officers were for the crowd. Retiring Deputy Auditor Fred Shenard. in great good humor, presided over the thirty barrels of apples. rlowe.s, red carnations, the gift of the genial Scot, were the badge of hospitality and the persons who were fortunate enough to "get In" on the first batch or dered wore them from the building. Neat little talks expressive of the good will and cheer of the day were heard on every side and New Year's day in the courthouse was an event calculated to foreshadow a prosperous administration by all the coun ty omciais. Sew State Officials. Every office in the Statehouse changed hands yesterday save those of the secre tary of state, treasurer of state, auditor of state and superintendent of public Instruction. Union B. Hunt does not retire until the middle of January, Treasurer Levy and Auditor Hart until February, and Superintendent Jones until March.
