CHIDES THE GOVERNOR

Mayor of Indianapolis Wants to Know Why Hanly Was So Tardy in Action. CAN’T CALL OUT THE TROOPS Bo Bays the Attorney General—Vigo County Bank nt Terre Haute 1s Closed—ltems. Indianapolis, June 29. The state board of agriculture did not meet yesterday to take steps in regard to the governor’s demands that pool selling at the races be stopped. President Niblack, of the state board, wrote that unexpected business would detain him, and it is not now known when the board will meet, of if at all. Pool selling was not interfered with Tuesday and there is no Indications that there will be Interference, as the state board of agriculture, the sheriff and the mayor have not shown any eagerness to take action. The governor is determined to stop bookmaking, if possible. Sharp Latter from the Mayor. The mayor has addressed a letter to the governor, in which he said among other things: "I have always endeavored to do my full duty, as God permitted me to see it, and without ostentation. I have always tried to speak the word In time, Instead of waiting for some one else to act, feeling that I was my brother’s keeper all the time, and not only at the last moment. I am advised that you knew several weeks ago that pool selling was contemplated upon the state fair grounds. It is to be regretted that you did not request the state t>oard of agriculture not to permit the violation of law on their ground, as a word from you at that time would have prevented the situation which we both deplore and would have attracted much less attention.” No Right to Call Out the Troop*. Attorney General Miller has sent to the governor’s office a reply to the governor’s inquiry as to whether he has the right to call out the state militia to stop pool selling. In his reply Attorney General Miller takes the position that the governor has the right to call out the militia only when the local authorities are powerless to meet an emergency and preserve order. The opinion holds that the present situation is not such as to authorize the calling out of the troops. Governor Hanly on a Trip. Indianapolis. June 29.

BREAK IS A BAD ONE

Shortage in the Vigo County Bank May Reach aa High as 3100,000. GOOD SHOW FOB DEPOSITORS In Spite of * Big Wad of Poor Securities - Governor Studies the Pool Law—ltems. Terre Haute, Ind., June 30.—W. D.

After the invoice Is completed the assets will be appraised, and not until then will there be definite information as to the amount which creditors can expect to receive. Ha* Much Worthless Paper. Though the first official announcement placed Cashier Conzman’s shortage at $16,000, It is now reported all the way from $50,000 to SIOO,OOO. Later reports Increase the amount of worthless paper held by the bank. A banker who examined the securities said that although, like, other Terre Haute bankers, he had known of the easy manner in which loans were negotiated at the Vigo County National bank, he was surprised by what was shown to him. Of the SBO,OOO in loans and discounts there may be as much as $300,000 on which nothing can be realized, or at least SIOO,OOO of it may take a long time to convert into cash. On the other hand, it is said, that the $150,000 capital stock and the $50,000 surplus will cover the losses by the cashier’s shortage and the bad paper, so that eventually the depositors will get dollar for dollar.

ST. PETERSBURG IS ALARMED

Bueh Oeeurrsnss* aa Those at Odessa May Precipitate a Ro rot at low. St. Petersburg, June 29.—More serious in Its possible effects than all the defeats In Manchuria or the destruction of Rojestvensky's fleet was the news which reached St. Petersburg early last evening that the standard of open rebellion was floating on board one of the emperor’s battleships In the harbor of Odessa, and that with shotted guns the mutinous crew headed by eight officers, was bolding the ship against all comers. The authorities are in almost a state, of panic and at the admiralty consternation reigns.

The Knlaz Potemkine is a more powerful ship than any in Kruger’s squadron and the gravity of the situation is increased by the fact that the city is practically in the possession of the strikers. Should the sailors of Kruger's ships join the mutineers the government would have to face open revolution, which would spread like wildfire to other towns in the Black sea littoral. The news of the mutiny coming just at this time when Poland is In a state of ferment, when agrarian disorders are coming to a head and when the government is attempting mobilization involving about 200.000 men may easily precipitate a crisis, and the authorities are endeavoring to keep it from the public. QUIETING DOWN AT LODZ Desperate Fighting Took Place in the Street* During the Biot*. Lodz. Russian Poland, June 26. The most serious phase of the fighting ing between the military and strikers is at an end, but there are still isolated attacks in the suburbs.

At Pabjanice, near Lodz, workmen attacked two policemen and shot and killed one and wounded the other. There is a general exodus from Ixxiz. Twelve thousand persons have already left and all trains are crowded. Until late at night the Cossacks were busy collecting bodies of the dead nnd picking up persons seriously wounded.
