MILITARY OFFICER IS UHSCATHEDMIi HIS TRIAL Charges Against Capt. Harry If, Franklin Not Vet Sustained by Lieutenant. TENDERS COMPANY FUND

President of Court-Martial Refuses Money Until the Case Is More Firmly Established. Aftr an afternoon devoted to parries and thrusts of opposing counsel, the courtmartial to hear charges preferreti against Capt. H. M. Franklin, of this city, adjourned last night to meet again this mornlug at the Statehouse. Captain Franklin, about three weks ago, was charged by Second Lieut. George Denny, of his company. H. of the Second Infantry, with charges embodying four violations of as many articles of war. It was charged by Lieutenant Denny that Captain Franklin "did on or about the 14th day of December, 1903. receive moneys from the adjutant general of the State of Indiana, to-wit: about the sum of $110, to be paid to the officers and men of his comI any for services, did. on or about the 14th day of December, 1903. deposit the same in his name, as captain, in the American National Bank, and did thereafter withdraw a large pert thereof for his own use and benefit, to-wit., for house rent, coal bills, physicians' hills. dniKRists bills, and for other purposes unknown." T'pon the introdm-tion of evidence, and as to what constituted evidence. Judge Advocate A. 11. Schanz, of Atlica, and Lieut. Guv A. Boyle held arguments all morning and th- greater part of the afternoon. The examination of Lieutenant Denny and Maj. H. T. Conde. commandant of the second battalion, continued until adjournment at 6 o'clock. Questioning of the witnst'p covered much more ground than that covered In the charges and the testimony of lieutenant Denny, under cross-examination, was not regarded as strengthening his case by many members of the court-martial. He was questioned as to his knowledge of a mercantile business. He replied that he had had experience in such business; that he had dealt in sporting goods and golf supplies for a club of which he was a member. Later he admitted that his knowledge of the mercantile business was limited. Major Conde, in his testimony, stated that this was the first trouble that had ever occurred In his battalion and that he regarded Captain Franklin as an officer of great ability. cjue.ition of the guilt of Captain Franklin hinges uion his violation of the rules of the articles of war. When, near the close of the session, the president of the court-martial ordered all books and records regarding the finances of Company H to be produced In court, transcripts were fiv-n him. and Captain Franklin, at the climax of a hot discussion among counsel, walked before the chairman. Colonel Fee. drew a large roll of bills from his pocket, and tendered it to him. He refused to accept the money, pending admission of the evidence asked. During the cross-examination of Lieutenant Denny, counsel for Captain Franklin brought out the fact that Lieutenants Denny and Smith, of Company H. had dls-."-rr 1 with Captain Franklin 0tf administration of the company's affairs, and that over this point the officers held inimical positions. He made an effort to show that this enmity prompted the charges against Captain Franklin. The courtroom in the Agricultural room was almost filled with local guardsmen, who took great interest in the proceedings. Following are the members of the cnurtmartlal: Lieut. Col. James F. Fee, First Infantry, Greencastle, who presided; Major l. J. Louden, rirst Infantry, Bloomlngton; Major N. J. Coleman. First Infantrv. New Albany; Major J. H. Tarlton. Second Infantry.

KLUGE IS REVOKED State Eoard of Registration Takes Steps to Prevent Practice of Physician. Dr. William H. Kluge, former jail physician, was summoned before the Board of Medical Registration at Its meeting yesterday to show cause why his state license should not be revoked. He appeared through counsel, and after hen ring the presentation of the case, the board revoked the license. Recently he was arraigned in Criminal Court through efforts of the board and found guilty of practicing without a license. The court did not sustain the defense that the charge was upon technical grounds and lined him. YOUNG KETCH AM SUES FOR $25,000 DAMAGES a A suit was begun yesterday in the Superior Court before Judge Caj-ter in which John L. Ketcham will make an attempt to collect $25.000 damages from the RichardsMcElwaine Company. Ketcham was operating an elevator at the plant of the defendants, it is claimed, and was taking a load of castings to the top door when the cable broke, allowing the elevator to fall, and injuring the plaintiff. Both of his ankles v.vre badly crushed, it is alleged, and one leg permanently maimed. The plaintiff claims that the accident was due to the negligence of the defendants in allowing water to run over the cable and rot it. The plaintiff, who has attained his majority since the suit was first begun, is a son of Frank L. Ketcham. of this city, and nephew of former Attorney General W. A. Ketcham. VISITIXG ENGLISHMEN SOMEWHAT ASTONISHED Two Englishmen were entertained royally at the Commercial Club yesterday by A. II. AW11. of the Wells Manufacturing and Supply Company, and were shown the sights of the city. They greatly admired the soldiers' monument. These Englishmen, Robtrt H I.asch and A. W. Sonnenthal, while at the Commercial Club, were impressed with the hustle and bustle which prevailed, and said that the Americans wre too pushing for them thev led an easier life. These men are representatives of Selig. Sonnenthal & Co., engineers and patentees, of London, the largest Jobber? of Arrterican-made goods In Europe.

PREPARES REPORT ON CAMPS FOR GOVERNOR State Labor Commissioner Finds that Workmen Are to Blame for Unsanitary Conditions. After giving Governor Durbin a verbal report on conditions at the railroad improvement camps In southern Indiana, State Labor Commissioner McCormack was advised yesterday to render his report in writing, which will be done. His verbal rport. as forecasted in yesterday's Journal, blames unsanitary conditions upon the workmen themselves. He also finds that the company is not to blame for many charges brought against it; the fact that their time Is discounted is due to their own wishes, he says. The report will be ready In a short ti ne. JUDGE WHALLON BEFORE THE BOARD Little except routine business occupied the time of the Board of Public Safety yesterday. Judge Whallon appeared before the board to ask that a room at the City Hospital be prepared for patients from the workhouse or Jail under Police Court sentences, to prevent their escape while patients at the hospital. City Sanitarian Speer, who attended the meeting, said that such a room could be prepared, and this will probably be done. The charges preferred against Patrolmnn Lee by Joel Williams were referred by the board to Superintendent Kruger. W. H. Torbet resigned from the fire force, and Edward Stelnruck was promoted from substitute to regular fireman In his place, while Harry Stuck was appointed a substitute.

Th woman was struck in the face and was unconscious for some time. Pitts tied immediately after striking his wife, and has not been located.

Pitts went to the restaurant yesterday afternoon and called his wife out on the sidewalk. Flourishing a knife before her, he threatened to kill her. Frightened, the woman screamed for help. With an oath the man struck her with all his strength in the face. She was knocked to the sidewalk and rendered unconscious. Bicyclemen Lowe and B'rnauer made ev. ry effort to find Pitts, but he had escaped. The woman will swear out a warrant for his arrest this morning. PENTECOST BANDS PLAN COSTLY NEW ORPHANAGE The Rev. Thomas H. Nelson, president of the Pentecost Bands of the United States, has Just purchased 150 acres of land near Bridgeport at a cost of $10,000. His purpose in this is to broaden out the work of the present orphanage, which is in North Tuxedo Park and now has tweuty-two boys and girls. In three or four months work on the buildings for the new orphanage will be under way, and it is hoped that some of them will be r-;nly for use next fall. The buildings will be of Bedford StOlM and worth about $75.X0. The work on the buildings will be done free by the Pentecost bands. The plan of the Rev. Nelson is to make this orphanage a sort of an industrial school, where th young children, who will be received from the age of three to twelve ye:irs. will be taught not only various trades, but also prepared to take up a missionary life. BOARDING HOUSE FIRE CAUSED QUITE A SCARE A fire in the boarding house of S. H.

EMPLOYERS WILL PREVENT STRIKES ANDDISTURBANCE Circular Letter Sent from State Life Building Explains Stand of Federated Body. TO SECURE OPEN SHOP

Maintenance of Industrial Peace in Indianapolis Is Used as End in View of Re funners. That the Employers Association of Indianapolis is t;iking an aggressive stand i:g;iinst the methods used by the labor unions, especially those of the building trades, is shown in the letters sent out from the association's headquarters in the State Life building to many contractors of the city. The letters attempt to point out the waste which results from modern methods and to show that the only means of protection to the employers is through the Employers' Association. The letters also outline the position of the association in the support of its members against the labor unions. The following are excerpts from one of the letters: "If you are a member of the Employers' Association we will support you in the maintenance of the 'open shop;' we will support you In the event of a sympathetic strike or a boycott; we will support you in the employment of apprentices; we will see that your employes, whether union on nonunion, have the protection of the law and we will secure the punishment of persons guilty of violence or intimidation. "In these days of high-priced material and labor can you afford the constant loss resulting from modern union methods? Can you afford the constant waste which occurs at every corner when trouble comes in the middle of the job? "You are figuring contracts now upon the basis of certain conditions. Your profit depends upon these conditions continuing through the season. Yet the unions always strike at the critical time. Then if you yield to their demands it means loss. The only way to avoid loss is to act independently of the unions, if you want to, and proceed with your work at once. You can do this If you have the moral support and the maintenance of law and order in the vicinity of your work. "In Kansas City, Dayton, Akron, Omaha and other cities the employers' associations have proved a complete remedy; successful strikes and boycotts are absolutely impossible there. "The Employers' Association of Indianapolis is not radical or contentious. It is not looking for trouble. It will not be a party to any wrong against the workingman. But it Is Intended to safeguard the business interests of Indianapolis and to maintain industrial peace, and these things it will absolutely do." OPINION IS GIVEN ON CONVICT LABOR CAMPS Attorney General Transmits Finding to JefTersonville, Where Board Will Consider It. Whether or not convict labor can be used as a basis of contract will be decided today at a meeting of the board of trustees of the State Reformatory at JefTersonville. At the last meeting of the board a request was received from a northern Indiana company that convicts at the Reformatory be put to work on some of the company's contracts, suitable compensation for the State to be determined later. The matter was referred to .Attorney General Miller, who Monday transmitted his finding to Superintendent Whittaker. It will be read at the meeting to-morrow. GOVERNMENT AGENTS SEARCH FOR ALIENS Foreign Dependents on State Will lie Deported if Found in Indiana. Secretary Amos W. Butler, of the State Charities Board, is co-operating with the Department of Commerce and Labor in an effort to secure the names of aliens in Indiana institutions. Special officers of the department will be here next week to inspect every institution in the State. If aliens are found who have not been dependents for three years, they will be deported undtr the United States immigration laws. THINKS HEJS RACEHORSE J. V. Waugh, of Tipton, Gallops Around in His Cell in Police Station. Wandering through the streets, frightening women and children by his actions, J. V. Waugh, an attorney from Tipton, was arrested yesterday afternoon by Bicyclemen Lowe and I'.ernauer and locked up for belüg Insane. Waugh imagines he is a race horse, and gallops around the cell he is confined in at police station. He threatened to get the position of every member of the police force if he was not release .

SAM FARB RECEIVES SCARE POSTAL CARD "Be careful what you do between the hours of 8 p. m. and 11.59 p. m. March 11. You will be watched."

SPECIAL SESSION HELD Exactly according to schedule, last night's special meeting of the City Council transacted its business in a hurry and adjourned. The new lighting contract between the ity and the Indianapolis Light and Power Company Is now in the hands of the Council committee on contracts and franchises for report to the Council at next Monday's regular meeting. Controller Duun's ordinance imposing an annual license fee of $1,000 on every brewery and distillery doing business in Indianapolis is in the hands of the finance committee, and an ordinance transferring $6.871.48 from a "sacred fund" to this year's general fund is also in the hands of the finance committee. These three ordinances were introduced into Council at the special meeting and referred to the committees named. The new brewery tax ordinance is designed to be so constructed as to avoid the mistakes that have made former ordinances of a like character unconstitutional or objectionable. One of the objections to formeT ordinances was that they discriminated against local breweries in favor of those having their plants out of the city and maintaining local agencies or depots. The ordiuauce introduced last evening is very explicit on this point. It provides for imposing the license upon "every person or persons, firm, association, company or corporation establishing, conducting or maintaining in said city a brewery or breweries, distillery or distilleries, depot or depots, agency or agencies of breweries or distilleries' and "for each such brewery, distillery, depot or agency." The ordinance thus provides for taxing every brewery or distillery doing business in Indianapolis, whether home or foreign. The new lighting contract will be reported back to the Council, anfl will be read for the first time by City Clerk Fogarty, Clerk of the Council, next Monday evening. As it contains 15,000 words, and will consume nearly five hours in the reading, Council does not expect t do much else except listen at its next regular meeting. It is rumored that Clerk Fogarty is now taking a series of lessons in voice culture to prepare for the ordeal. The finance committee will no doubt report favorably on the ordinance transferring funds to the general fund, as it is recognized that the city is in need of funds, with no visible source from which to secure them.
