GmSHIP CONTEST

DEMOCRATIC RACE LIKELY TO BECOME INVOLVED.

Former Judge McCabe May Become a Candidate—Where Shively Stands—A Conference. The contest for the Democratic nomination for Governor promises to become unusually warm before the end of next week- The friends of Burke are saying that he is having the quiet support of Benjamin F. Shively, of South Bend, and that this will be a serious injury to the Kern forces. This claim is not made by Burke, but by some who say they have beard from northern counties. This is not disturbing, however, to the Kern men. who say they have reason to believe that Shively has enough political sense left «as» they put ill to keep hii hands off In the fight between Burke and Kern. They also ny they have assurance* that Shively* own county—St Joseph—will vote almost solidly for Kern, and that Shively has not sought to Influence the delegates for any can- j didate The Burke men. however, believe that Shively's supporters will be found with them. The appearance of an authoritative announcement from former Congressman Conn, of Elkhart, would not surprise many. Should he become a candidate for Governor, it Is thought, he would get the solid vote of the Thirteenth district, which would almost destroy hope of a nomination on the first ballot. The situation may be further involved by the possible candidacy of ex-Judge James McCabe, of Williamsport. It is understood that ex-Judge McCabe has written to a political friend in another county that he would permit the use of hta name before the convention. Acting on this 'etter, which has been confidentially distributed. In substance, an effort will be made to bring hh» name before the convention. The plan Is stiU in an early slate of development. Slates are being prepared In this county In all the wards. In each there will be a Burke slate and a Kern slate. It Is understood, however, that even If the Kern slate should go through at each primary the delegation will be divided as between the candidates. * Conference of Democrats. A conference of Democrats was held at the Grand Hotel last night. Amongthose present were Mayor Taggart, Samuel K. Mores. James Murdock, of Lafayette: Samuel M. Ralston, of Lebanon: Hugh Dougherty, of Bluffton, and Parks M. Martin, chairman of the Democratic State committee. The meeting, according fo Murdock and Dougherty, w’as more of a business nature than political, although neither denied but that politic"* was discussed. Said Murdock: “Mr. Morss’ sudden departure for Paris required us to confer on some business matters. Of course, you could not get as many L»emocrats together. In there days when everything Indicates Denr erratic success, without politics being discussed. But it was a mere Incident.” Dougherty said he found Increasing ex luences of the jKjpulartty of the party’s position in antagonism to the present administration. the meeting attracted attention because Mores was conceded to be the choice of the Seventh district for a member of the Stale committee on platform, and as likely to he made chairman of the committee which would report the platform to convention. His views as to.the futility of the party making a fight again on the silver question are well known, and It was believed that If he had much to do with the platformmaking there would be little or no silver In It. Those present at last night s conference each dented that there had been more than a friendly mention of the platform. Mores’ sudden leaving, it is believed here, will result in the selection of A. G. Bmlth as member of the platform committee trom this district. Smith, It Is said, holds much the same views as to the course of the party as Morss, and favors the subordination of the money question

SOME RAILROAD MEN. They Indorse Burke and Approve His Whole Course. A number of railroad men have adopted resolutions setting Frank B. Burke correctly before the railroad men, as they say. One paragraph of the resolutions says: "We know that Mr. Burke. In the Senate, supported the anti-Pinkerton act, 'the anti-pluck-me store* law, and that In the matter of co-employe liability legislation. the Senate substitute bill, which he supported In 1S31 was, at the session of 1893, accepted by the railroad men and was enacted and Is now the law of the State; and that tn U*»4, w^hlle he was United States district attorney, railroad men In northern Indiana, engaged in the grant strike, were arrested by the Federal authorities and brought to Indianapolis, LOO mjles from their home and among strangers'w ere confronted with the alternative of giving bond or going to jail, Mr. Burke secured their release on their own recognixance and in behalf of those convicted interceded with the court for suspension of their sentence.” Another paragraph Indorses Mr. Burke’s candidacy for Governor, and denounces the attacks made on him. The document is signed by the following railroad men: M. J Pierce, engineer; Charles Zepp. engineer. John McKinney, engineer; J Addington, brakeman; H. F. Knickerbocker, brakeman; Al. WilUamsotg switchman; C. M. Deer, engineer; John Ensey, engineer; George H. Brown, engineer: F. R. Stewart. switchman; B. C. Rubush, brakeman; C. H. Matthews, ya-dman: J. H. Mealy, shopman; J. A.

Thinks Justus Goebel will Leant Something About Indiana Jus-tice—Attorney-General's View A rumor to-day which gained little credence. was to the effect that Justus Goebel, who was in Lafayette, to-day. might attempt to get Lieutenant-Gov-ernor Haggard, of Lafayette, to honor a requisition for Finley as soon as Governor Mount had left the State for St. Louis, where he is to speak. Thursday night. Charles E. Wilson secretary to the Governor, and other State officials, scouted the suggestion None of them believed that Mr. Haggard would honor such a requisition any more than the Governor himself. Even though a requisition were honored by him. the papers would not be made out by Secretary of State Hunt, who said to-day: *T do not believe Mr Haggard would honor such a requisition tn any event, but even though he should I would not make out the papers for Mr. Finley's return unless they bore the signature of Governor Mount. Governor Mount's action will have the approval of every man who is opposed to government by conspiracy, of even* man who believes in law and order as against mob rule. The Governor would have been no more justifiable tn turning Mr. Flnlev over to the Kentucky plotters than would the sheriff of Marlon county or any other county In Indiana in turning a prisoner over to a mob that was seeking hta Ufa But few people believe that the Republican officials of Kentucky had anything to do with the murder of Senator Goebel, and none but the man who is too bitter a partisan to look at the matter honestly will condemn the action of Governor Mount. “The Governor will stand by his action. Justus Goebel’s threat to the contrary notwithstanding. Mr. Goebel will find that Indiana is not Kentucky, and that Governor Mount is a man with the courage to do what is right under all circumstances. He will be a wiser man when he finishes his Interview with Indiana's chief executive, If the Governor does not refuse to see him altogether, which he would be perfectly justified In doing after Mr. Goebel's Insulting interview. The people of Indiana are with Governor Mount. They have no fear that this State will be made a place of refuge for criminals, neither will they permit Innocent men to become the victims of criminal plotters.” Governor is Within Call. When the Governor left, last night, he made arrangements so that. In case of an emergency, he might be reached by wire at any time. Mr. Wilson, hta secretary. said to-day that If anything arose necessitating the Governor’s presence In this c’ty he would be informed at once, and would return on the earliest train. It Is not expected, however, that the Governor will be called to return until the time of his visit to St. Louis has expired, Thursday night. What tho Attorney-General Says. William L. Taylor, Attorney-General, says the question of honoring a requisition is a matter solely for the Governor to decide. He said he did not think It was fitting for him to make any statement'concerning the action of the Governor. further than to say that he had & perfect right to refuse to honor the document. It was wholly a matter of discretion with the chief executive which, when decided, could not be altered. The Governor had only acted under an old executive rule of the State. Mr. Taylor cited as a oreoedent the refusal of Governor Baker, of this State, to honor a requisition for & man who had been persecuted by the Kuklux organization In the South, feeling that If the man were handed over to that State he would meet with violent and immediate punishment. HAGGARD SAYS NO.

Would Not Honor & Requisition— Sanctions Governor’s Action. {Special to The Indtanapolta News.] LAFAYETTE, Ind., May 22.—Lieuten-ant-Governor Haggard was asked at 1 o’clock to-day If. In the event of Gov. Mount's absence from the State, and he should become acting Governor, he would recognize extradition papers from Kentucky He replied: “I think not. I am Inclined to think I would follow Governor Mount’s lead in the matter. I have not examined the question, and do not know why the Governor has declined, but I suppose he has good and sufficient reasons. I think I would do as he Is doing if acting as Governor. I would do as he wanted me to.”

F. B. Burke on Mount’s Action. Frank B, Burke—I do not know whether, as the papers make it appear, Governor Mount withheld acknowledgment of Governor Beckham’s requisition for Finley because all but two men on the grand Jury that Indicted him were Democrats, or whether he did not. I have not heard an explanation of the Governor's reasons. I Imagine, however, that It Is the duty of the executive of a State to.honor requisitions, either from de facto or de jure Governors of other States, and not dishonor them because a Republican or a Democrat Is involved. The honoring of a requisition may be something largely with the conscience of the executive, but the people of Indiana have always tried to elect Governors who would do their duty without reference to the political aspects of the cases.

Still Watching Finley. Finley’s movements are still being closely watched by detectives Asch, of the city force, and Gaffney, of Covington. Ky. When the former Secretary of State left the Denison House this morning to go to the Plaxa for his mail, the two detectives were not far behind him, and when he started back he confronted them near Market and Circle streets and invited them to have a cigar. Both accented the invitation, and the three men spent fifteen minutes pleasantly discussing general topics. The action of the detectives is taken by Finley's friends to indicate that he is to be watched, and that some other mov’e to get him back to Kentucky is contemolated. The Marlon Club will give a smoker Thursday night, and Finley was Invited this afternoon to attend. It is probable that Governor Taylor may go to Martinsville before the week is over, to rest. He will be joined by his family if he goes there.

TO SELL ICE IN THIS CITY

NEW COMBINATION INTENDS TO ENTER THB FIELD.

Plants Ovnr the State to be Run at Fall Capacity- and the Surplus Sold in Indianapolis. A meeting of the Indiana Manufacture ere’ Ice Association waa held at the Grand Hotel this afternoon, and a movement was placed on foot that is expected to result in a lively ice war in Indianapolis this rummer. The purpose of the gathering was to complete plana for running the Ice plants in the smaller cities of the State to their full capacity, sell aa much of the output at home aa possible, and to ship the surplus front each plant to Indianapolis, to be disposed of to private consumers or to any one who will buy it. A good many ice men from over the State were present. The board of directors is to have authority to appoint a general manager, who will be stationed In Indtanapolta. He will place Ice wagons In the streets, and the association expects to be selling its product to the people here within a short time. The association represents thirty-seven Ice plants out in the Stats and Included in the list of cities are Kokomo, Marion. Anderson. Elwood, Alexandria. Muncie, Rushviile, Columbus. Martinsville,'Crawfordaville, Bloomington. Brasil. Frankfort. Vincennes and Knlghtstown. All of .the members of the association have agreed to take stock in the company that is to be formed, and It Is announced that the organisation wilt have ample means behind It to carry out its plana The surplus ice is to be shipped here by rail every day and the manager of the project will convoke the city to dlspoee of it. A manufacturer of Anderson says he can ship two car-loads to this city every morning. He says the plant at Anderson haa one machine standing idle because the demand in that city is not equal to the plant’s capacity. The members of the association will not say thsy are “going to war” with Indiana-

polis makers.

They Mean Business.

“The Indiana association Is coming to Indianapolis for business,” one of the members said, “and we propose to get It when we come. We will place an ample number of wagons In the streets, sell books to consumers, and give them as good a quality of manufactured ice as they can get anywhere. We know that the price ot ice has been advanced in Indianapolis. We also know that the

Other cities besides Indianapolis are having the same experience where the manufacturers have formed combinations. We are not ready to talk about prices, but will be a little later on. Right now we are preparing to sell ice here, and we are going to do It it the people will

buy It from us.”

When the meeting began, this afternoon, nearly every plant in the association was represented. J. W. Martin, of Crawfordavllle. Is president of the organisation, and F. C. Johnson, of An-

derson. Is secretary.

DEATH OF CHARLES RICHEL

He waa Familiarly Known oe Oyster Charlie. Charles Richel. familiarly known as “Oyster Charlie,” a restaurant keeper at 322 East Washington street, dropped dead on the sidewalk tn front of the East market house, this morning. His death is supposed to have been caused by heart trouble. The City Dispensary ambulance took the body to the city morgue to await an investigation by the coroner. Richel had been in the restaurant business in this city since 1271, and made a specialty of serving oysters. In fact, little else was served in his place of business. The first oysters to reach the city In the early fall were usually consigned to "Oyster Charlie,” and a flaring sign was always put up above the restaurant door announcing the fact. Long after other eating-houses had stopi»ed serving oysters in the spring Richel would have them in all styles. During the summer months “Oyster Charlie" always closed his place of business and lived a life of ease until the oyster crop began to come In. Oysters Served by Rail. In his restaurant he used a carrier sy* tem for delivering oysters from the kitchen to the dining room. A miniature flat car would run back on an elevated track

through a hole in the wall to the kitchen, and in a moment later would roll back bearing a dish of oysters cooked as ordered. Richel regarded hta elevated railroad, as he called It, with much pride, and would often say that be was far ahead of the times. Dozen* of signs decorated the walls of the restaurant, giving the customers an Idea of the various ways oysters can be served. The majority of Richer* customers were men employed in night offices, and many of them have patronised the restaurant for the Last quarter of a century. Richel was born In Wilkesbarre, Pa., sixty-four years ago. and hi* home was in that city until he come to Indianapolis In 1*71. During his frequent trips to Baltimore he acquired his knowledge of the oyster business. Except hta wife, who lived with him In the block In which the restaurant ta located, Richel had no known relative*. Mrs. Richel sold her husband had been suffering for a number of years, and during the last week bad a number of sinking spells. He rallied yesterday. however, and appeared to be in good health. The Red Men. of which Richel was a member, will have charge of the funeral arrangements. Dudley and Mltchaasr Lose. WASHINGTON, D.
