M'DONALD WILL DEMAND H IMMEDIATE TRIAL If Indicted He Will Ask for Xo Change of Venue Red Hair the Puzzle. DETECTIVE REED HEARD Special to the Indianapolis Journal. BEDFORD. Ind.. March 7. Detective E. S. Reed concluded his testimony before the grand jury this afternoon and left Bedford for Louisville to confer with Professor Hayes, the dermatologist. Professor Hayes is the expert to whom was submitted the wisp of reddish-brown hair found clasped in Miss Schafer's hand the morning the murder was discovered, for a microscopical examination, and CsVt as his opinion it was human hair, either from the mustache or the head of some man. As McDonald, the suspect now held for the murder, is possessed of hair of a darker hue. the officials have been puzzled to account for the prtMMf of the red hair in the dead girl's hand. The defense will endeavor to prove by Professor Hayes that the wisp he examined was pulled by Miss Schäfer from her assailant's head in the struggle. Prosecutor Miller states that three days will be required for the grand jury to complete its labor. Counsel for the accused have given notice that, should McDonald be indicted, they will demand an immediate trial and will ask for no change of venue. Judge Wilson stated to the Journal tha, it would be almost Impossible to try .ucDonald this term owing to the crowded condition of the docket. Prosecutor Miller volunteers the information to Judge Wilson that ten days would be required to try the case. As McDonald's attorneys will demand immediate trial, the state must make some provision to accord the prisoner this privilege. BIG TELEPHONE DEAL. Partial Combination of Independent and Bell Systems.

HUNTING DOWN A CHECK BELIEVED TO BE A FORGERY

Cashier Hawkins Warning Danks in Ohio and Indiana to W atch for Check 1080 OX THE CITIZENS' BANK Special to the Indianapolis Journal. PORTLAND. Ind.. March 7. -Cashier N. B. Hawkins, of the Citizens' Bank, has started a systematic search for check No. 100. issued by the Bank of Greenbrier, Lewisburg, W. Va. This is the check which was issued at the same time that the two checks which Gordon held at the time of his arrest were secured. The American Bankers' Association has been notified of the outstanding check and they in turn will notify the Pinkerton detective agency. Besides this precaution Cashier Hawkins is sending out notices to various banks over Ohio and Indiana warning them to be on the lookout for such a check. The check, which was originally for only $3 is expected to turn up somewhere with an alleged face value of $3,000 or $3,500. Even if it has not yet been cashed at any bank it is possible that It might be laid down now any day, for itt is claimed that there are yet four men at large who hold forged paper from the expert hand of Robert J. Knox aggregating many thousands of dollars. Governor Durbin has not yet been asked to make requisition for J. P. Fuller, arrested at Cardington, O., and it is not likely that the latter will be taken care of until Sheriff Andrew returns from Columbus with Knox. Gordon still Insists that he will be able to furnish the $R000 bond as fixed by Justice Lewis Saturday, and that just as soon as Sheriff Andrew returns from Columbus with Robert J. Knox so that he can identify him he will give the bond,, he says, and then return to his home in Buffalo to await his trial. UNITED MINE WORKERS OF INDIANA DISTRICT They Will Hold Fifteenth Annual Convention at Terre Haute This Week. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TERRE HAUTE. Ind., March 7. The fifteenth annual convention of the United Mine Workers of the Indiana district will begin to-morrow morning in this city, and the delegates with few exceptions are the same that have represented the district in the national convention at Indianapolis. The routine business of the annual convention will occupy the sessions for two or three days. President Hargrove had announced before there was serious apprehension of a strike that he would not be a candidate for re-election. There Is no appreciable increase in the demand for coal due to th strike outlook. If there should be a greater demand it would not increase the output. That has been limited for months by the capacity of the railroads to provide cars and haul them away loaded, and which has fallen far short of the demand by the operators. Both narrators and miners of the Indiana field are incensed by this handicap on the industry in the State. BIG FOUR BRIDGE OVER EEL RIVER IN DANGER Liable to Be Swept Away by the Rising Waters Trying to Save It. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WABASH. Ind., March 7.

Rumors are still heard that efforts to compromise are being made, but De Pauw University and Chautauqua Institute are not disposed to accept less than that bequeathed them under the will, preferring to risk losing all rather than accepting only a portion. Time seems most untimely when he brings a woman to the turn of life. Life is or should be at its ripest and best for her, and she approaches this chanire with a dread of its effect born of her knowledge of the sufferings of other women at this season.
