It appears that since the expose of the methods of Rufus Cantrell by Wallace Slmms In his letters to Superintendent Taffe. Cantrell has become uneasy. Since the receipt of the first letter Cantrell has teen more than anxious to secure his liberty on bond. Falling to obtain this, he has sulked in his cell at the Jail and every hour or two sends fortr an edict that he Trill not aid the State in further investigation. He claims he has not been treated properly in having to remain in jail while other alleged ghouls were given bond. Nearly every day Cantrell has asked to see one of the reporters from the dally papers. To one reporter he will confide that he is iiot being treated fairly in the matter and fori the time the public will hear nothing more of grave robbing from him. Monday night Cantrell sent for a Journal onnrler Dn r;illrl nt thr anrl Ca n t - fell said he wished to make a' statement. He said it would have to be written for him and when It was submitted he would sign It. He explained this by saying that he was unable to write properly, being deXiclcnt In his orthography and composition. In concluding he said the Journal was the only paper In the city that had handled his case truthfully. The "Jolly" was taken by the reporter for what It was worth, but no promises were made to Cantrell. The next day he ent for a Sentinel reporter, to whom he told the same story. The News representative was next appealed to. To all three he complained of the incompetence of the other reporters. Detectives Asch and Manning, who have been looking after the investigation, said hey have had much to contend with from Jantrell on account of his sulking spells. At times they-have been compelled to use strategy to get him to talk to them. MEETING OF PYTHIANS. Twelfth District (jntherlns Will De Held at Aeton Jan. -f. t .

I I MILITARY SERVICE CLUB XEW CONSTITUTION AND BY-LAWS AND NEW OFFICERS. A 3Iock Conrt-Martlal for the Instruction of Offleer of the National Guard. The Military Service Club of the Indiana National Guard met last night In the Su preme Court room In the Statehouse and adopted a new constitution and by-laws for the government of the society during the year. The election of officers resulted in the selection of Brigailier General McKee, commanding general of the Indiana National Guard, as president. A nominating com mittee made the choice of other officers and the following were elected: Major Coulter, first vice president; Col. J. T. Barnett. second vice president; Captain McLean. secretary; Lieut. .W. W. Ileiskell, treasurer A council of administration, consisting of Majors Harrison, Carr and Bachman, Captain Branch, Captain Freyermouth and Lieutenant Moorhead was selected. After discussing several features of military service not clearly defined in the tactics and unintelligent to the majority of amateur soldiers, a mock court-martial trial was held, in which Second Lieut Brandt C. Downey, Second Infantry, was tried for disobedience of orders under the twenty-first article of war. under the fic titious name of John Jones. The court which tried Lieutenant Jones was composed of Major Coulter, First Infantry, senior officer on the detail from brigade headquarters and president of the court; Captains C. A. Garrard, II. M. Franklin and V. G. Comly and Lieutenants W. V. Ileiskell. Frederick Swan and Frank Bridges, members of the court, with Lieut. Guy A. Boyle, of General McKee s staff, as judge advocate. Lieutenant Jones was accused of a laxity of duty in permitting several women from the crowd of people at the Union Station on the occasion of Prince Henry's stop in the city to pass through the cordon of guards and into the trainsheds, despite the fact that Maj. II. T. Conde, battalion commander and In command of the military guard at the reception, had issued orders positively forbidding the passage of any person within the lines. Jones's defense of his action was that a soldier should mix a little common sense with military discipline and not allow women to be trampled to death because there., were orders against rescuing them. The trial was an amusing one, and many little mistakes in its procedure were evidently made to excite questions from the officers, who were there to be instructed in the manner of courts-martial. The judge advocate, Lieutenant Boyle, and the counsel for' the prisoner, Lieut. A. P. Smith, indulged in many little passages of arms over military law. EXCEEDS $600,000. Revenues of the Local Pontofllce Greater than Anticipated. During the month of December the revenues of the Indianapolis postofflce amounted to 557,480.91, which, added to the totals for the rest of the year, brought the grand total up to 5600,989.30, much more than anticipated by the department. The December business showed an increase of 16.1 per cent, over that of December. 1901, when the revenue amounted to $49,481.47. The contract for the transportation of mail from the main office of the local postoffice department to the depot will probably be granted to the Indianapolis Transfer Company on Jan. 15. The Indianapolis company bid 55,950 for. the work and F. P. Spangler 54.730. The new contract will not be operative until June 1. Eighty Dollars Lost in Transit. Julius Dunaway, colored, employed as messenger for II. Cohen, a tailor at 38 West Maryland street, was arrested yesterday by Detectives Ilauser and Colbert on a charge of grand larceny. Yesterday morning A. C. Brighton, a traveling man from Boston. Mass.. stopping at the Grand Hotel, sent a pair of trousers to Cohen's shop to be pressed. Dunaway carried the trousers from the hotel to the shop. Brighton remembered he had left 5S0 in one of the pockets. He went at once to the tailor shop, but the money could not be found. He reported the matter to the police and Dunaway was arrested. f) NEWTON Lieutenant G wernor and

SCOPE OF PRIMARY BILL

IT APPLIUS TO MARION COIXTV AXD IS OPTIONAL KLSi:WHCItK. Fluni Meeting; of Committee ürlngn t'p Tito Point for Further Dlacuanlon Final Draft. The primary election bill, prepared by the Commercial Club committee on primary elections, is nearly ready for introduction in the Legislature. The bill will be introduced early in the session. The draft was considered for practically the last time yesterday afternoon at the Commercial Club by Chairman Addison C. Harris, Roscoe O. Hawkins, Charles Martlndale and a few other members of the committee that met to hear a final reading. It was expected that the draft would be approved at the meeting yesterday, but two points were raised that started discussion and the committee may have to have another meeting to straighten out one or two tangles. The draft of the bill in its present form provides that precinct committeemen shall meet seven days after their election and shall vote viva voce on roll ca!l as to whether nominations shall be made by primary or by direct vote. A few members of the primary elections committee think that at the election of the precinct committeemen the question should be settled as to whether nominations shall be made by primaries or by direct vote. The present draft of the. bill provides also that each board of primary, election commissioners .shall be appointed by the circuit Judge of the county in which they are to HENRY W. dpeaker of the Lower Uouso of the serve, two men from each party to be chosen. There are some who hold that five men from each party should be appointed by the judges. Both of these points, the only ones upon which the committee has disagreed, will be discussed and settled later. The draft of the bill provides that the law shall apply to Marion county directly and shall be optional with all other counties. That was a point on which Ihere was much discussion during the meetings held by the committee, and the consensus of opinion was that counties other than Marlon should have the option of taking it or refusing it.

mouth; William A. Kittlnger, Anderson. The Republican members of the finance committee are Senator Goodwlnc. chairman: Senators Layman, Gochenour, Ogborn and Gray. The committee on rules, of which the lieutenant governor is chairman, has completed its work, and the result, in the opinion of Lieutenant Governor Gilbert, will be a simplification of the organization of the body by which time will be saved and convenience secured. The rules of the Senate have been made to conform this term as nearly as possible with the rules governing the Senate of the United States.. The Senate will be organized entirely on thp first dav of its session, whereas In for mer Legislatures complete organization was not arrived at until after, the upper house had been meeting several days, lne com mittees will be named and will be in working order as soon as the Senate meets today. To-morrow the Senate will be in a position to go right ahead with routine bus iness, something that has not been known in former vears. The committee on rules did its work thorouchlv. It is known that certain commit tees will be discarded and that certain new ones will be added. The idea of the lieutenant eovernor is that there should be a. sep arate committee for every important branch of business in tne body and the changes were made in accordance with that theory. The committee on Judiciary has been divided, and while In effect it will be really one committee, yet for the purpose of saving time and facilitating business the committee will work in two divisions. Senator Parks will be at the head of one division and Senator Kittlnger at the head of the other. One of the important things decided upon by the rules committee this session is that patronage shall not be dispensed by a plunder committee. Every senator will have the privilege' of naming one employe, such recommendation, however, to be subject to the action of the qualifications committee. This, in the opinion of the lieutenant governor. will make the dispensation of places not a matter of patronage merely, but of quali fication. Lieutenant Governor Gilbert spent the en tire day in his office at the Statehouse yesterday listening to the appeals-of indi viduals and organizations that so and fo MARSHAL Sixty-Third General Assembly. should be put on committees. He barely found time to attend to absolutely necessary business. One of the biggest delega tions received was from the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, which is interested in the personnel of the railroads committee. Others called with reference to the committee on legislative apportionment, city of Indianapolis, judiciary ana otner wancnes. There is even more interest-this year than In former years in the make-up of the Senate committees. SEXATE EMPLOYES. List of Thames Announced by the Qualifications Committee.

Duplifute Bills Will Xot Be Connlrt ered II the Body. Republican senators, spurred on by Lieutenant Governor Gilbert, are making all things tend to one end the transaction of the most business possible in the least possible time. That is the watchword. At the caucus of the Republican senators last night one of the most Important resolutions passed was one which declared that the caucus will look with disfavor upon the introduction of any bill in the Senate a duplicate of which has been introduced in the House contemporaneously. A resolution was passed to the effect that such bills will not even be conidercd by the Senate. This resolution was discussed favorably by Senators Matson, Rarcus, Layman and others. One of the most annoying things with which the Senate had to deal last session, and, for that matter, In many previous sessions, was the. time lost in consld-

ering duplicate bills. They encumbered the

rolls and Impeded business. The Lieutenant Governor was greatly pleased with the action of the caucus last night and so ex pressed himself. Lieutenant Governor Gilbert made a speech to the caucus in which he urged that economy should be the watchword of the senators this session, but that in being economical they should not be penurious. He urged that there is no better place to exercise economy than In the use of stationery and printed supplies. However, Mr. Gilbert suggested that there should be no attempt made to cut down printed matter to be furnished constituents. A resolu tion embodying the features of the speech was passed. The report of the committee on rules was approved by the caucus and a number of the senators were emphatic in their ap proval or the rule which restricts admittance to the Senate Chamber. All of the senators were present with the exception of Charles N. Thompson, of In dianapolis, who is suffering from slight ill ness. PASSES TO THE SEXATE. Rigid Rnle Will Be Enforced in Ad mitting; Visitors. One rule of the Senate which will be rigidly enforced this session will concern the admission of visitors to the chamber. Heretofore there has been practically no restriction placed upon those who wished to observe the senators at their duties, and every Tom, Dick and Harry, masculine and feminine, that desired found no difficulty in getting In upon the floor of the Senate. So annoying did the crowds become In the Senate of 1901 and In the session previous to that that occasionally It was difficult to transact business because of the deluge of humanity that had no real purpose on the floor except to gratify Idle curiosity or else to get in some "graft. " under the custom of former years passes to the floor of the Senate were not taken up at the door and were interchangeable. Cards of admission Issued to reputable per sons frequently found their way into the hands of those whose presence was almost an insult to the Senate. This time it will be radically different. Care will be exer cised, in the first place, in issuing passes. In the second place, they will be much fewer In number than in former years,. and, in the third place, all passes, except special ones issued to people whose business will take them daily or frequently to the chamber, will be taken up at the door and will not be interchangeable. Senators whose attention has has been called to the reform believe that It will work well and that It will be conducive to the accomplishment of business. The gallery wrill be for the exclusive use of visitors and it is desired that it be used rather than that visitors should attempt to find room on the floor. It is pointed out that the gallery Is a far better place to ob serve the proceedings of the Senate and to hear speeches than the floor, and that the gallery of the Senate is more convenient really than the gallery of the United States Senate. Lieutenant Governor Gilbert, discussing the reform, said yesterday: "There is no reason why visitors should not be better pleased with seats in the gallery than with places on the floor. They are more desira ble in every respect. The rule this session will be to exclude from the floor everybody but those who have business there. More than that, , this rule will be enforced. It will not be suffered to fall into disuse. This rule will be applied to members as well as to the public. No member will be allowed to take his wife or other members of his family Into the chamber and give them seats on the floor. It is pointed out that this order is strictly enforced in the Senate of the United States and that there is no reason why the practice should be al lowed in the Indiana Senate. "This session," Lieutenant Governor Gil bert says, "will be for business. It will not be a dramatic entertainment or a vaude ville performance." IIOL'SE CAt'CtS AFFAIRS. The Sleeting; Was Brief and Delight fully Harmonious. The caucus of the Republican representa tlves was delightfully short, harmonious and well arranged. Representative Elias H. Owen, of Rockville, called the caucus to order, and Representative Ktrkman was at once chosen caucus chairman. As soon as Mr. Kirkman took the gavel he called for nominations for speaker, and Repre sentative Stutesman presented the name of his friend and colleague, the gentleman from Tippecanoe. The speech was brief and to the point. A rising vote was taken on the nomination, and every member stood except Mr. Marshal himself. The caucus thrn proceeded to the nomina tion of clerk, assistant clerk and doorkeep er, and when this had been disposed of a motion to adjourn was called for. At this point Representative Warren Sayre ad dressed the chair and said that he thought there was one little matter that the caucus would do well to investigate in order to avoid any possible unpleasant compllca tions. He said that Mr. Marshall, the nom inee for speaker, had not indicated whether he would accept the place, and he believed the nominee should be called upon for a statement. The caucus held Mr. Sayre's point well taken and thereupon Mr. Mar shall, without displaying any undue haste. gracefully accepted the honor accorded him and set at rest the mind of the member from Wabash. The caucus lasted twenty minutes by the clock. PLUNDER COMMITTEE. Representatives Besieged by- Appli cant for Places. The House plunder committee, composed of Representatives Stutesman, Morgan and Stansbury, attempted to do some work yes terday afternoon and last evening, but ac complished little beyond making a list of the applicants who had been Indorsed by the several Republican members. In ad dition to this the members of the com mittee, individually and collectively, were besieged with applications from men, boys and women, who had not secured the recommendation of any of the representatives, but who still hoped to get in on the distribution of places. There are about fifty places at the disposal of the committee and the number of applicants Is three or four times fifty, so the troubles of the committee are obvious. Representative Stutesman said last night that he did not know when the committee would report, but he thought that it would be able to get through its work some time to-day. HOUSE CHAIRMANSHIPS. A Partial List that Is Believed to Be Xearly Correct. While Speaker Henry W. Marshall steadfastly and consistently refuses to give out any of his committee assignments, and insists, in fact, that comparatively few of the chairmanships even have been finally decided, the following partial list of chairmen is believed to be accurate: Judiciary James F. Stutesman, Peru. Ways and Means Warren G. Sayre, Wabash. Benevolent Institutions Joseph R. Morgan, Indianapolis. Railroads R. E. Kirkman. Richmond. County and Township Business Ellas II. Owen, Rockville. Cities and Towns S. R. Bell, Union City. Corporations S. W. Cantwell, Hartford City. Fc?3 and Salaries Ele Stansbury, Willlamsport. Prisons Charley Harley, Delphi. Elections O. P.

Mummert, Goshen. Public Health G. D. Kimball, Marlon. Mr. Marshall has stated that he will not announce his committees until some time Monday. VOTING MACHINE BILL. Conn 1 1 en with a City of Ten Thonaanil Munt Hay Them at Once. Senator F. E. Matson, of this city, has concluded his work on the voting machine bill and announced last night that the measure would be Introduced In the Senate Fri day morning. The bill is an amendment of the law adopted two years ago and provides that all counties in which there is a city of at least 10.000 population, according to the latest census, shall purchase machines at once. This takes in about fifteen counties.

Newt. II. Myers, postmaster of Jeffersonvllle, mingled with the statesmen In the lobby of the English for a few hours yesterday. XXX A speaker of the House Is a .potent Individual with prerogatives which approach those of a demigod, but being 'a speaker isn't all beer and skittles, as Henry W. Marshall can testify. Mr. Marshall has had to look around corners' like a timid debtor to dodge place hunters. Ordinarily he keeps away from crowds as much as possible, but a man must eat and a man must sleep, and until hotels Invent some other way for a man to get to meals and bed hotel lobbiles are as dangerous a trap as a speaker can walk into. xxx Last night it took Mr. Marshall just thirty minutes to make his way from the front door of English's Hotel to the elevator. He was in a. hurry, and he was tired, but that made no differente. With his foot on the threshold he was stopped by two or three men who wanted things. These disposed of he got as. far as the first big leather chair where he was again held up. By slow- stages he got to the cigar stand, where the purchase of a few cigars helped the situation a trifle. Then to the counter, where he was again interviewed by aspirants for sixty-day plums, and. finally, after sweating blood, Mr. Marshall got to the elevator by which he was hoisted to sweet dreams and forgetfulness of office seekers. xxx Some twenty-odd years ago four men who are now members of the Indiana Legisla ture were humble citizens of Somerset, a village In Wabash county, on the banks of the picturesque Mississlnewa, ten miles south of the city of Wabash. Those men are Senator Gochenour, of North Manches ter; Senator Strickler. of Marion; Representative Morton, of Kokomo, and Representative Minnick, of Converse. Gochenour was at that time engaged in tne dry goods business, Morton was a shoe dealer. Strick ler was a school teacher and Minnick was following the plow. Somerset had only 300 inhabitants In those days, and it hasn't any more than that number now, but its citizens seemed to have been made of the right timber. xxx Senator Wolcott received a letter from one of his constituents Tuesday morning asking him to secure the writer a job in the Sen ate. The senator did a little hustling around and by nightfall was In a position to wire his constituent: "Come on; have placed you as file clerk." Yesterday afternoon the man came in from Wolcott with a carpetbag in one hand and a kit of tools in the other. He was prepared to do any and all kinds of filing, and do it just a little bit better than any other man in the Statehouse. That is the story that was told at Senator Wolcotfs expense last night. Some neople of a suspicious disposition may in?ist on seeing tne kit 01 tools before they believe it. but Senator Ogborn, of New Castle, will vouch for its truth, and he is one of Wolcotfs best friends and in a position to know.
