PART ONE.

the action of Mr. Har?t9 Chicago managers In denouncing Friday's primaries as unfair. The entire meeting occupied less than an hour.

"STACKED CARDS" IS WAIL OF HEARSTITES Millionaire's Manager- Calls the City, "Indiana V Black Hole." "It can only be characterized by decent tnen as a bold, deliberate theft of a city." Andrew M. Lawrence. Western manager for William IL Hearst, pave out this denunciation of the manner In which the Democratic primaries were conducted in this city Friday in an interview which was published yesterday in a Chicago paper. Mr. Lawrence's statement is echoed and emphasized by Hearst's local managers, who Bay that they were robbed and that they were absolutely helpless In the primary fight here. "I knew we would be defeated in this county," said J. Oscar Henderson yesterday afternoon. "The cards were stacked against us. W couldn't have polled enough votes to win, because the Tarker forces had absolute control of all the election machinery and counted the vote to suit themselves. There is one other district In the State where we do not expect to win, but there are districts that we shall carry, and we shall have delegates from Indiana to the national convention." Charles Maguire, who had charge of the Hearst campaign In this city and county, will not admit that the Parker people will have every one of the 113 delegates from the county to the state convention. "Several of the delegates elected will be for Hearst,' declared Maguire yesterday Afternoon. "We did not elect any on our slates that 1?, we are not given credit for having elects any but there were several men who were on both slates and who have given us to understand that they will be for Hearst." t. f . ... I - . . 1 1 nnt etata hna manv of the delegates he expected to Ket.from tnls county. Asked if the Hearst headquarters In the Brandon block would be closed, now that the fight in thl county Is over, Mr. Maguire said he thought not. "The headquarters will be kept open for the present, at lrast." he paid. The Lawrence interview published In the Chicago Inter Ocean is a caustic denunciation of what he terms the "criminal outrage perpetrated bv the machine element In Indianapolis." The entire statement 13 as follows: The criminal outrage perpetrated by the machine element in Indianapolis to-day exceeds even past performances in that city, which has for years been known among politicians as the black hole of politics. "Two ballot boxes were used and the count was made from only one that ono In which the machine vvctes were cast. Where a sufficient number of votes were not legally offered, ballots were taken from the table and openly placed in the ballot boxes. Ballot boxes were taken into rooms und opened focretly.. Men desiring to vote the Hear3t ticket were driven away from the polls. It was a most disgraceful and criminal proceeding, at which all parts of the machine connived. "It can only b characterized by decent men as a bold, deliberate theit of a city. "To cover up his track. Thomas Taggart, who runs the French Lick resort and bosses the machine of Indianapolis, comes out in his rnper with a story vilifying the honest men who refuse to stand for the theft perpetrated. He made charges about thugs being imported from Chicago to capture the primaries. It Is the shameless Btatement of a shameless man." According to a story published in yesterday's Chicago Examiner Hearst had detectives here to watch the primaries and as a result of what they are said to have discovered of. fraudulent practices, affidavits have been prepared find contents will be carried before the board of primary commissioners and possibly before the state convention. "HE SHOULD SMILE," SAYS TA GGART OP LA I VRENCE Thomas Tasgart, Democratic national Committeeman from Indiana, last night gave out a statement In reply to the charges made by Andrew M. Lawrence, of Chicago, concerning the Democratic primaries held here Friday. Mr. Lawrence gave Interviews to the press in Chicago in which he characterized the primaries as "the most Infamous, outrageous, unlawful, dastardly proceedings ever known in politics," and said that ''Indianapolis will go down in political history as the 'Black Hole of Indiana.'" Mr. Taggart's statement follows: "The statements given out by Mr. Lawrence are. flatly contradicted by statements given the Indianapolis press to-dav by iMayor Holtzman. Chief of Police Kruger, J. Oscar Henderson and Charles Maguire, the two latter being the local managers of Mr. Hearst's campaign. "Both Mayor Holtzman and Chief Kruger state that the primaries were orderly and fairly conducted. The mayor states that nothing occurred that would justify the frtrong language used by Mr. Iawrence. Mr. Henderson says: I don't know of any cases of assault or that the primaries were a disgrace to Indiana.' Mr. Maguire says: I did not hear of any Hearst man being assaulted, and of course it Is not true that no votes were permitted to be cast. If we had had more time. Hearst would have made a tx-tter showing.' "No further refutation of Mr. Lawrence's statements seems necssary to me, but I wish to add my statement that in the twenty-five years I have taken a more or less p.ctive part In politics in Indianapolis, there has never boen a more orderly or a more fairly conducted primary of either the Democratic or Republican party. "It Is true that the organization was unfriendly to Mr. Hearst, and had the result been cIcmc there might have been some occasion for the criticism that the election machinery was used against Mr. Hearst, but the victory of the friends of Judge Parker was so overwhelming that it Is absurd even to suggest that Mr. Hearst war. 'counted out, or that his supporters wer not accorded fair treatment. "It ot-curs to me that Mr. Lawrence's first lesson in politics should bp to acquire Bn equanimity of disposition that would enable him to take defeat philosophically and come up smiling for the next round." STORY OF TELEGRAM VIGOROUSLY DENIED The story of the telegram which Hearst Is alleged to have 'sent to A. M. Iawrence while the latter was in this city last Thursday, is still vigorously denied by the Hearst managers and by Hearst himself. The denials come from almost every Individual who could have been connected with the telegram if it had been sent except the messenger boy who delivered it. Hearst at "Washington not only denies having sent such a telegram, but affects to A NEW SHAPE . 1 t : V -T 5 $2.00 FOR You will fini the same styles here fcr $2.GO that are shown in any othrr store fcr 53.CO.

be extremely indignant that he should be accused of having used the expressive word "damn," which is eaid to have been In the message. The text of the alleged telegram is given as follows: "WASHINGTON. Never mind damn horses. Kansas no good. We better stick to journalism, close up, everything at once. Get to work on newspaper." - ' . Several questions have been raised by the publication of the story, among them being one as to what Is meant by the word "horses." and another as to whether by the sentence, "Get to work on newspaper," it is meant that steps toward the establishment of a Hearst paper In this city are to be taken at once. J. Oscar Henderson yesterday repeated his denial of the. telegram story, characterizing it as a fake of the rankest kind. He denied any knowledge of such a telegram and stated explicitly that ho had not been trapped Into repeating it over the telephone to a newspaper man who represented himself as an employe of the telegraph company. Mr. Lawrence added to his denials the following, published yesterday at Chicago: "The Indianapolis telegram is wholly false. The papers there have either been imposed upon or else have published a deliberate forgery."

HEARST SAYS MESSAGE IS A SERIOUS JOKE A dispatch to the Journal from Washington says: ' "William. It. Hearst and hi3 managers were kept busy to-day denying the report that he is going to withdraw from the presidential race. They denounced the telegram, which he Is alleged to have sent to Indianapolis, as a bold "fake" and Intimated that there may be treachery In their own camp, which will be investigated.. Hearst says the dispatch may have been sent as a joke, but that it has become serious." KING CLARK" SAYS HE IS t(0UT OF THE GAME Allen W. Clark, of St. Louis, who, a few years ago was an active figure in Indiana Democratic politics and was known familiarly as the "King of All the Tush," was in the city yesterday calling on a number of his old political associates. Mr. Clark declares that he is out of the game "for keeps," but he is still interested in politics. FRANKFORT MAN WILL ADDRESS HEARST CLUB Joseph B. Cheadle. of Frankfort, former member of Congress from the Ninth district and one of the most enthusiastic Bryan-Hearst Democrats in Indiana, will deliver an address before the Indianapolis Hearst Club this afternoon at 2 o'clock in Smith's Hall.

ADDRESSES FOLLOW Nearly fifty Indianapolis physicians and medical students, with a few guests from out of the city, were at the Claypool last night for the annual banquet of the Fi chapter of the Indiana Medical School of the Phi Rho Sigma fraternity. The banquet was preceded by a ceremony in one of the parlors, at which five members of the faculty of the Indiana Medical School Drs. Potter, Ilurty, Dorsey, Jeffries and Pettijohn were initiated into the fraternity. The initiation was conducted by five faculty members of the local chapter of the .fraternity, Drs. Dan Thompson, Dodds. Frank Wynn, Kyle and John Sluss, and by Dr. T. V. Keene, of the Zeta chapter of the fraternity of the University of Michigan. Following the initiation a twelve-course banquet was served in one of the hotel's private dining rooms, the consideration of which occupied the time of the fraternity men until a late hour. The banquet was presided over by Dr. William T. S. Dodds. Dr. Frank B. Wynn responded to the toast, "The Physician Himself;" Dr. John H. Oliver, "When We Laugh;" Dr. George J. Cook, "A Life of Study," and Dr. John W. Sluss,. "To Be Chosen." A number of impromptu talks were also given by other members of the fraternity. Besides Dr. Keene, Dr. Ashaeur, of the medical school of Northwestern University, representing the Alpha chapter of the fraternity, was an out-of-town guest. BURTON'S RESIGNATION WOULD BE ACCEPTABLE It Would Relieve an Embarrassing Situation in the United States Senate. NO ACTION AT PRESENT Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON. April 9.-If Senator Burton, of Kansas, who was recently convicted in the Federal Court In St. Liouis, and sentenced to jail for six months and fined $2.)U, would resign, it would relieve an embarrassing situation In the United States Senate. Nothing will be done In the upper hoise of Congress relativ to the Burton case until it has pone to the Court of Appeals. As that Is the court of last resort in such causes. Burton must stand or fall by tho decision of that tribunal. The course to be pursued by the Senate in the event that the outcome in the lower court is arilrmed has not been decided upon. Under the statute, If the conviction stands. Burton will forever be debarred from holding a position of trust or honor under the federal government. Some authorities ex-' press the belief that without action on tho part of the Senate Burton would thus lose hit? seat. Other lawyers contend that it will be necessary for the Senate to declare- the seat vacant. However, the hope is expressed that Burton will resign whatever the deciion in the Court of Appeals. The Indiana colony here has watched the Burton case with Klent interest. The senator was born in the State, and taught school and read law there before settling in Kansas. Senator Burton has now been in Washington three days and during that time he has not set foot In the Capitol, although he lias spent a good deal of time In the Senate annex, where he has his committee room. Several of his friends have advi.-ed him to remain away from the Senat-. It is reported that a resolution of expulsion has been prepared and that it probably would be acted on in short ordtr if he should enter the Senate chamber. To Olehrato Appomattox liny.

NO BUI OF WAR RUNS

MARRED THE RUSSIAN CELEBRATION OF EASTER t V Japanese Did Not Again Attack Port Arthur, as Feared at St. Petersburg. . VEIL OVER THE FAR EAST Movements of the Armies Shrouded in Impenetrable Cloud of Censorship. LONDON, April 10. No booming of guns at Port Arthur disturbed this Russian Easter morning, so far as reports have been received, and the hope of the Czar's subjects that the sound of Easter-tide church bells would not be rudely broken by the barking of Japanese "dogs of war" seems to have been realized. There has been no recent fighting at Tort Arthur. Some of the enemy's ships appeared off the harbor last night, but retired when discovered by the searchliRhts. News from the far East is meager, both Japanese and RusFians exercising rigid censorship. It is said the Japanese are landing a second army in Korea. It is not believed they Intend to disembark troops on the Llao-Tung peninsula because the Russians could throw an army on any force that attempted to land near Nieu-Chwang. JAPANESE WILL NOT LAND ON CHINESE SOIL ST. PETERSBURG, April 9. The best informed military circles no longer anticipate a Japanese landing at the head of the Liao-Tucg gulf. They believe the Japanese have missed their opportunity, the Russians now being too strong. A Russian officer who accompanied the Japanese army during the war with China said: "I witnessed the Japanese landing at AVei-IIal-Wcl. It was excellently performed, but there was no enemy to offer resistance, the Chinese having tied. Yet it required four days to disembark 21,0u0 men. If the Japanese attempt to land anywhere- within striking distance of Nieu-Chwang we can easily concentrate a force to opposo them faster than they can disembark." The opinion now is that the Japanese will try a flanking movement from Taju-Shau. west of Antuug, at the head of the Gulf of Korea, lu connection with their advance on the Yalu river, but the authorities here make no display of nervousness, manifesting the utmost confidence in tho plan of campaign marked out by General KuropatA correspondent of the Associated Tress with the Russian outposts, writing from Antung, on the Y'alu river, under date of March 19, describes the fearful state of the. roads and the journey from Feng-IIuang-Cheng to Antung. 'which he says is impassable for vehicles. The correspondent depicts Antung as a miserable collection of hovels, the inhabitants of which on account of the scarcity cannot afford timber for fires and use straw instead. The country between Feng-IIuang-Cheng and Antung is sparsely settled. The Chinese avoided the high roads, preferring the mountain fastnesses. Milk, butter and eggs are almost unknown. The War Office has ordered the formation of a Caucasian cavalry brigade for active service. It will bo formed of volunteers from the Caucasian highlanders, who are exempt from all military services. Viceroy Alexieft has prohibited, under pain of severe punishment, the. sale of spirits to soldiers operating in his viceroyalty. POWERFUL WARSHIPS TO BE BUILT FOR JAPAN LONDON", April 9. The two new battleships ordered In England by Japan will be exceedingly powerful, their length, 415 feet, exceeding that of the most powerful battleships by twenty feet. In order to meet the capacity of docking accommodations the beam and draught havo been fixed at seventy-eight feet and twenty-six feet respectively. Each will have a displacement of 16,400 tons. Their main batteries, it is said, will be the most powerful yet devised, consisting for each of four twelve-Inch guns, four ten-inch and five six-inch guns. The armored belt at the vater line will be nine inches thick with six-Inch armor continuing to the level of the deck. A new feature will be a superstructure of fourinch armor, insuring that no part of the upper works will be unprotected. In addition to two battleships actually ordered Japan is contemplating ordering two more vessels of that description to bo built here. Formal orders for the battleships were placed by Japan with Vlckers, Maxim & Armstrong on Jan. 30, the orders being to expedite their construction as speedily as possible. They are to have a speed of nineteen knots and will be able to discharge eleven tons of projectile per minute from their main batteries. RUSSIA MOBILIZING SAILORS, NOT VESSELS ST. PETERSBURG. April 9. The naval mobilization was gazetted to-day. It refers only to officers and men of the reserve in European Russia and not to ships. The mobilization is due to the necessity for providing full crews for the Black sea and Baltic fleets, which will go into commission at the opening of navigation. It is an oj.cn secret now that several thousand sailors belonging to these fleets, which had been laid up for the winter, were sent to Vladivostok or Tort Arthur to supply the places of time-expired men as well as the places of those wounded or otherwise incapacitated. The men now called out will also be used to furnish an adequate reserve when the Kuropean fleets go into commission. In a few days those of the reserves called to the colors who are rusty will bo placed on board the fhips who are to remain here, while the officers and men who have scon active service will be concentrated on board" the ships which are deSigned to reinforce Vice Admiral Makaroff during the coming summer. ARMY AT NIEU-CHWANG TO BE REINFORCED NIEU-CHWANG. Manchuria. April 7. via Che-Foo, China, April .-General Kuropatkin's visit to Nieu-Chwang has Inspired boundless confidence. The commander-in-chief ordered 10.030 reserves to reinforce thi3 position. In view of the expected Japanese attack, while an additional force of 15.000 men is ready to concentrate upon this place at short notice if necessary. It Is estimated now that there are 400,000 Russian troops In Manchuria. General Woiack has taken over the command at Nieu-Chwang from General Kontlratsvitrh. The preparations for the defense of the town are complete. JAPANESE OFFICIALS VISITING GENERAL MA NEW YORK, April 9. Since March 13, according to a Herald dispatch from Peking, at least nine Japanese officials dressed as Chinese, with a full staff of Chinese servants, have passed north through Kupcir.ka, Je hoe and Ping-Tsuan toward ChaoYnng, General Ma's headquarters. There are about 3,000 foreign-drilled troops at Chao-Yang. ItiiftiiiiiM Havo Retired. SEOUL. April 9. noon. The Japanese minister, M. Hayashi. to-day officially communicated to the Korean Foreign Office the fact of the retirement of the Russian troops across the Yalu river and tho Japanese occupation of the frontier, which resulted in an exchange of mutual congratulations. Second .Inpiinene Army Landing:. PARIS, April 9. The second Japanese army, according to the St. Petersburg correspondent of the Temps, is now landing In Korea

PROCEED IDS

Action That Mav Be Taken Following Charges Against Judge 'Swayne. TRIALS OF OTHER CASES Lower House of Congress Simply Acts as a Grand Jury in all Cases. WASHINGTON, April 9. On two occasions in the history of the Nation the Federal Court of Impeachment has been invoked to try Judges of the United States for misconduct. The first was that of Judge Pickering and the second that of Judge Humphrey, charged with "complicity in the rebellion." The third is likely to be the case of Judge Charles Swayne, of the district of Florida, charged with various offenses against the integrity of the bench. Tho House of Representatives has not yet acted on the charges, but the prospect of action arouses public curiosity as to what impeachment really means. Not since the memorable trial of President Andrew Johnson has such a thing happened, so a little rustiness of knowledge on the subject Is pardonable. The popular notion Is that the House of Representatives tried to impeach President Johnson and failed. That Is an error. The House actually did impeach the chief magistarte, although the court of impeachment that is, the Senate failed to convict him ou the impeachment. In impeaching a high federal official the lower house of Congress simply acts as a grand jury the highest in the land. To impeach means to accuse, or to Indict, not to convict. The accused official must be tried and found guilty or the mere impeachment amounts to nothing. To explain the mode of procedure let us recall the Johnson case. As Vice President. Andrew Johnson made his first misstep on the very day that he was inaugurated. Not to gloss over his offense with polite words, he was drunk. He was in no condition to figure in one of the most solemn cenrnonlal occasions in history the installation of an administration duriug the closing days of the civil war. That circumstance disgusted and humiliated the country. No longer could the people trust the second man in the Republic. And when a little later President Lincoln fell under an assassin's shot the grief of the North was accentuated by the knowledge that a man like Johnson must step Into the vacant executive chair. .But for a little while Andrew Johnson did much to redeem himself In Northern estimation. The Union States had been filled with rage by the murder of Lincoln; they were in a mood to wreak vengeance upon the South, and the new President seemed as bitter as anybody in his determination to punish. CHANGE OF POLICY. By and by his policy suddenly changed. The North was amazed and indignant. As soon as Congress realized the change the struggle began. Statesmen lavished upon the chief magistrate such epithets as "cheat" and "swindler" and "traitor" and "rebel." Tho President, in his harangues to the people, retorted by calling the agitation against him a "new rebellion." Congress began to pass bills to cripple the President's power In every possible way. Johnson promptly vetoed every one of them, and Congress just as promptly and contemptuously passed the measure over the vetoes. The Senate likewise rejected all presidential appointments. Soon the President found himself tied hand and foot If he choose to obey the law, but he didn't choose to obey it, and then something was done. A Pennsylvania statesman made the first overt move. It was Friday, Feb. 21, lSfiS, when John Covode, of Pennsylvania, introduced into the. House the resolution of impeachment that Is, the congressional indictment a measure that does not require the concurrence of the Senate. The resolution was referred to the committee on reconstruction, which favorably reported the next day. On Monday, the 24th, the resolution was adopted by the emphatic vote of 126 yeas to 47 nays, seventeen members not voting. Thaddeus Stevens immediately offered a resolution that "a committee of two be appointed to wait upon the Senate, and, at the bar thereof, in the name of the House of Representatives, impeach Andrew Johnson, President of the United States, of high crimes and misdemeanors;" also that a committee of seven be named to prepare articles of impeachment. Both propositions were carried, and on the first committee Stevens and John A. Bingham were appointed. The other committee reported the articles on Feb. 29, and two days later the House elected seven managers, or prosecutors, to conduct the Impeachment. . Meanwhile, there were a few cool-headed public men, who. If they did not openly disapprove of these headlong proceedings, held aloof from them. Among them was Chief Justice Chase, the man whose duty would be to preside over the Senate sitting as court the highest ever convoked on this continent. So the very first friction, came when tbe Senate deliberated on rules of procedure. Those who distrusted Chase were . so framing the rules as to reduce the chief Justice to a mere presiding officer, considering him as not a member of the court and depriving him of any voice or power as a member of the court. This faction prevailed. t DANGER OF A DEADLOCK. In consequence there was grave danger of a deadlock. Constitutionally no other person than the chief Justice of the Supreme Court could preside at an impeachment trial, and it began to look as if that offended funtionary would simply ignore the impeachment. March 5, the day for opening the trial, came. The Supreme Court was in regular session, and until 11:30 remained so, apparently without thought of adjourning for a mere trifle like the Impeachment of the President of the United States. Then an envoy from Congress hurried over to the chamber to offer a compromise and to beg Chase to adjourn court. The Senate waited in suspense until half an hour after noon. Then the baize door opened and two dignified men In silken robes walked down the aisle. One was 'hief Justice Chase, the other Associate Justice Nelson. Instinctively every senator and representative rose to hi3 feet. Arrived at the vice presidential chair, the chief Justice raised his hand, the associate justice administered the oath and the high court of impeachment was ready to proceed. The rules had been carefully framed with a view to depriving the chief Justice of uny power as a member of the court, but Chae was able to so interpret and manipulate the rules as to make himself a very important factor in thv proceedings. Yet his decisions were so fair that the prosecutors did not complain. Finally the hour for a vote on the question of guilty or not guilty arrived. The result was: Guilty, 33; not guilty, 10 just one less than the two-thirds majority necessarv to convict. One senator, who changed his'mind almost at the last moment, saved Andrew Johnson from being ousted from the presidential chair. These historic facts are interesting just at this time, becau.-e they show the mode of procedure that, no doubt, will be followed in the forthcoming trial of United States Judge Charles Swayne. CHANGES IN RAILWAY RATES FOR THREE YEARS WASHINGTON. April 9.-The Interstatecommerce Commission to-day transmitted to the Senate a report on the principal changes in railroad rates for the years, ending June 3), l'JOl, 15 C and IHjO, showing numerous advances in rates, caused by change of classification, and also advances in some specified commodities. A table based on the average rate per ton received by the railroads in IX 9 applied t the actual tonnage for the succeeding vears shows an Increase in gross revenue over 1SW of f1.5,A443 for 1301. I4.KS,21fi for 112. and 5155.473.2 for 1I. These are for the fiscal years ended on June 3). The commission says that no approximate estimate of the actual, effect of specific changes in rates upon the revenues of the carriers can be made, but that the method of computation directed by the resolution calling for the report Is of value as indicating the enormous addition in recent years to the cost of railroad transportation to the people of the United States.

REVOLVERS

SIOIDJHJIS POCKETS James V. Goodman Charged with Felonious Assault on William C. Greene. ROW OVER MINING DEAL Copper Company President Accused of Owing a Machinist from Arizona $500,000. NEW YORK, April 9. James W. Goodman, a machinist, was arrested here today, charged with making threats against the life of William C. Greene, president of the Green Consolidated Copper Company. When Goodman was arraigned in Police Court Mr. Greene testified that Goodman lay In wait outside his (Greene's) house today and that Goodman came up to him and said: "Vou're the man I'm laying for. Now I am going to kill you." The charge of felonious assault with attempt to kill was made when Goodman was arraigned in court and he was held in $3,000 bail for examination on Monday. He was taken to the Tombs. It was alleged that thero had been seme differences between Greene and Goodman on a mining deal. Goodman met Greene to-day near Broad svay and Seventy-second street and, it is charged, threatened to kill him, but Greene told him to come down to his office and matters could be there satisfactorily settled. They went by an elevated f train down town, the trip down being un eventful. After getting in the office it is charged Goodman said to Greene: "I want that JjOO.OuO that is due me in that mining deal. I demand a settlement." As if to emphasize his words, it is further alleged, Goodman drew a revolver and pointed it at Greene. During the controversy, which followed it Is alleged Goodman three times pointed the revolver at Mr. Greene and threatened each time to shoot him. Mr. Greene excused himself, leaving Goodman in the room with Mr. Robbins, the secretary of the company. Mr. Greene hurried to the Old Slip police station and told about the trouble. Patrolmen were sent post haste to the office and Goodman was disarmed. Goodman, after two revolvers had been taken from him, laughingly said: "Well, you've got them all." Goodman was then taken at once to the Tombs Court and arraigned. Mr. Greene swore to the affidavit charging felonious assault and attempt to kill. Mr. Robbins swore to a corroborating affidavit. Mr. Greene, in stating the case to Magistrate Cornell, told the story of the case and also said: "This man Goodman disposed of stock in a Mexican mine to a man named Smith. There were lGü.oou shares and they were worth about JIOO.OOO. This man then drank and gambled the money away and It was not until he had spent all the money and found himself broke that he came to me and claimed that he had been swindled." The defendant asked for a postponement and the magistrate, turning to Mr. Greene, asked: "Do you think this man could furnish 51,000 ball?" Mr. Greene replied significantly: "The man who I think put him up to the shooting might give bonds for that amount, or one million as easy as one thousand." Later in the day Mr. Greene made this formal statement: "The man (Goodman) was a comparative stranger to me. I have met him perhaps eight or ten times during the last four years. He was at one time interested in some mining properties in Sonora, which he and his partner, Frank Smith, transferred to the Yaqui Copper Company, of 170 Broadway, in consideration of 100,000 shares of the capital stock of the company. The stock was issued to them according to contract and a largo portion sold by them. The stock at ono time went to $15 per shaie, and Mr. Goodman's grievance is that through what he claims was manipulation by myself and others, the stock was depreciated until at present- it has a market value of much less than $13 per share. The only reason that I can give for his act was that the money he had received he had squandered, was desperate and without means and he expects to force me to give him an amount of cash sulficient to make up his losses in stocks. I understand that he has lived many years in Mexico and Arizona." When this statement was given out Mr. Greene's attorney said that Mr. Greene had no recollection of making any remark in the court regarding some man having instigated Goodman's action. In a previous statement Mr. Greene said: "Goodman told me that he was employed by the Mintas Trietas Gold and Silver Mining Company, of Sonora, Mexico, of which John W. Gates and his assistants are the owners." FAIR AND COOL TO-DAY; WARMER ON MONDAY "WASHINGTON, April 9. Forecast for Sunday and Monday: Indiana and Illinois Fair and continued cold on Sunday.

113-115-117 W. MarKet St. 3E POSTAL ADMIH1STRATI0H REFORMS ARE SUGGESTED Mr. Payne Has Proposed to the President a Reorganization of the Service. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON. April 9. Important changes In the administration of the Fostoffice Department, involving a general reorganization of the postal service, has been suggested to President Roosevelt and the Ccbinet by Postmaster General Payne. While the postal inquiry was in progress the postmaster gpneral discovered that the present scheme of organization is faulty in many respects, and he has hit upon a plan which he believes will put the big postal machine on a modern basis. The present system was adopted when the revenues of the postal servico aggregated about $r-0,-000,000 a yean Now the department collects more than $112.000,WO per annum, and the total annual disbursements are in excess of one billion dollars. Attention is called to the fact that in legislating for the Postoffice Department no definite plan is followed by the commutes of Congress. Most of the legislation for the service Is embodied in any one of a dozen supply bills. In the Navy and "War Departments there are general boards charged with the duty of devising ways and means for the conduct of the public business which shall be used by all administrations. It is the belief of Postmaster General Payne that such a scheme should be followed in the Postofflce Department. The rural free delivery system will be given special attention iu the plan of reorganization. In spite of the millions now appropriated for rural free delivery this service is in a formative stale, and important changes, not yet worked out, will be made in its administration. It Is the purpose of the postmaster general also to reassign and rearrange the duties of his fourth assistants. This was proposed by Mr. Payne shortly after he entered th Cabinet, but complications which presented themselves at the time prevented him from putting his ideas into effect. Ä Duty Vgehen Owe Tkekselves. Good actions speak louder than words," too. does the testimony of many thoui - so uaus oi wonca aunng a third of a century speik louder than mere claims not bactcd by a guarantee of sone kind. That ia the reason wrc- tli. nm. piietors of Dr. Tierce's Jravcnte Prescription are Trilling1 to offer 500 reward for women who can.

If j4& har to women. woman, suffering- froi female weakness, prolapsus, or falling of womb, or f-oni leucorrhea who has used Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription without complete success, the proprietors of that medicine would like to hear from such person and it will be to her advantage to write thera as they offer " in perfect good faith, a reward of 5oo for any case of the above maladies which they cannot etire. No other medicine for woman's ills is possessed of the unparalleled curative properties that would warrant its makers in making: such an offer. The Sisters of the Good Shepherd ot tl-eir convent, "Our Lady of the Woods," Carthar; Ohio, use n great deal of Dr. Pierce's medicines; they say. in a receat lettrr to Dr. Pierce : " V.'e be.? to assure you of the great benefit these medicines give cur ailing ones. We cannot sufuciently recommeud their excellence. When the druggist says he has somethin?: that is as good as Dr. Tierce's Favorite Prescription, just tell him, "There's nothing: just as good." He says so because he hopes to make a better profit but his own mixtures have not stood the test of long experience and success that Doctor Pierce's medicines have. Then, too, many patent medicines advertised as tonics, contain large quantities of alcohol. Dr. Pierce guarantees that his "Prescription" does not contain a particle of alcohol.
