Telegraph News by Direct Wire from All Over Indiana. Wabash, Ind., Xov. 12. Before W. E. Ilinshaw, whose attentions to Mrs. George Freeman, wife- of the sheriffelect of Wabash county, caused the revocation of his parole, had readied the Michigan City prison, a complete reconciliation had been effected between Freeman and his wife. There were present at the conference Freeman's two brothers, his wife, and Attorney John Miluor, and Mrs. Carter, sister of Mrs. Freeman. Fervently Plead Her Cause. Mrs. Freeman again fervently pleaded. Her case was supported, by Mrs. Carter and Freeman's relatives and attorney, and, although at lirst declining1 to consider a compromise, lie finally surrendered. Fnder the arrangement Freeman and his wife are to live together precisely as before the domestic tragedy. Sentiment here is altogether favorable to this settlement of the trou ble, and the only criticism of Freeman is because in his desire to punish II inehaw, he made the affair public. Former Parting Described. The interview last week when Free man renounced his wife was pitiful in the extreme. Attorney Milncr was presfnt. When he went to the Freeman home Freeman, his wife and three children were in the room together. All TV ere- crying except the 4-year-old boy, who seemingly did not understand that something was wrong. lie was playing by himself on the floor and his attention was not attracted by the confusion, the pleas of Jiis mother, and the tears of his father and the two older children. Had to Tear Himself Away. Mrs. Freeman was beside herself and could give no rational explanation of her act. "I was wronged, deceived and betrayed," she moaned over nnd over again to M liner. At last Freeman got up from the lounge where lie had been sitting. "Well, mamma," he said to Mrs. Freeman. "I must go now." "You shall not go; you shall not go," she cried, grasping him. lie broke away from her and left the house. Insists on His Innocence. Indianapolis, Nov. 12. Just before he left here to spend the remainder of his life lu prison Ilinshaw said: "Whatever I have done In the past, whatever I do now, and whatever the future may bring forth, I want it always known that I dirt not kill my wife. I never killed her; you can be sure of that. I loved my wife too much. I am as Innocent of that crime as a newly born babe." THEY MUST STAY IN DOUNDS 6tudenla at Del'anw Allowed to Make "Dates" So Long as They Stroll in Town. r.reencastle, Ind., Nov. 12. Withdrawing the rule which prohibited strolling on Sunday afternoons at Del'?uv, Vice President II. A. C.obin. who is in charge of such regulations, has decided to put the students on an hnor system. lie has so instructed Miss Laitem, dean at the dormitory. Ld. commencing next Sunday, the "co-eds" are allowed Sunday afternoon "dates' provided they stay within the city limits. Previously the students were wont to follow well worn paths to favorite spots, such as McLean Springs, the P.ig Four springs and I.imedale, but these journeys must all be abandoned. Other favorite strolls have been out along the Monon and Yandalia railroads; but these, too, must be "cut out." With such provisions the students will be allowed to take the popular Sunday afternoon walks, but strict watches will be kept to see that there Is no disobedience. In case the students do not live up to the provisions Pr. (robin will again install the rule pgainst Sunday afternoon "dates." In the t Inter time it will mean that "dates" may be made at the sorority houses In the afternoons, which otherwise would not have been allowed. Fire Scare at a Show. Evansville, Intl., Xov. 12.

Then the policemen and reporters packed a patrol wagron, taking witn them the police siee gun of heavy caliber and hurried to the edge of town. Leaning against a telegraph pole they saw a larfe. dark and furry object and leaped from the wagon, spreading: quickly into a circle prepared for action. "Pfwat the divll's this?' demanded the "bear," who proved to be Patrolman Van Buren, a new policeman. Van Bursa on his first

night's duty before receiving a uniform had enveloped himself in a bearskin overcoat.

GEORGE ADE OX EXGLISII TRAITS. The English football game is slight ly different from the game as it is seen n America, according to George Ade, who In his new book called "In Past ures New" tells of a game he attended n London, accompanied by his friend, Mr. Peasley of Iowa: The prevailing spirit of solemnity worried Mr. Peasley. He spoke to a native standing alongside him and ask ed: "What's the matter with you folks over here? Don't you know how to back up a team? Where are all your Hags and ribbons, your tally-hos and tin horns? Is this a football game or a funeral? "Why should one wear ribbons at a football game?" asked the Englishcan. "Might as well put a little ginger into the exercise." suggested Mr. Peas ley. "Do you sing during the game?" "Heavens, no. Why should one sing during a football game?" "You ought to go to a game in Iowa Cltv. We sing till we are black in the face all about 'Eat 'em up. boys,' 'Kill em in their tracks' and 'Buck through the line.' What's the use of coming to i game if you stand around all after noon and don t take part; nave you got any yells?" "What are those?" "Can you beat that?" asked Mr. Peas ley, turning to us. A football game without any yells:" "Evidently some good plays were be ing made, says Air. Ade, lor occa sionally a low, growling sound a con certed murmur would rise from the multitude along the side lines." "What's the meaning of that sound they are making?" asked Mr. Peasley, turning to the native alongside of him. "They are cheering," was the reply. "They are what?" "Cheering." "Great Scott! Do you call that cheer ing? At home, when we want to en courage the boys, we get up on our hind legs and make a noise that you can hear in the next township." "We could not blame our companion for being disappointed over the cheer ing," says Mr. Ade. "An English cheer is not the ear-sp"tJing demoniacal shriek such as as A.merican patriot lets out when he hears from another batch of precincts. The Englist cheer is simply a loud grunt, or a sort of gutteral 'Hev, hey'.' or 'Hurray!' When an English crowd cheers the sound is similar to that made by a Roman mob in the wings of a theatre. After once having heard the 'cheering' one can un derstand the meaning of a passage in the parliamentary report reading as follows: 'The gentleman hoped the house would not act in haste. (Cheers.) He still had confidence In the committee (cheers, but would advise a careful consideration (cheers), etc. It might be supposed from such a report that parliament was one continuous 'rough house," but we looked in one day and it was more like a cross between a Presbyterian synod and a bookkeeper's convention." A HOGSHEAD OF CIDER. Davies Herkimer, the noted political economist, said of modern politics, in an address on reform that he delivered in Cleveland: "Modern politics are entirely too tricky. The average candidate, when he enters the political struggle, lets plain dealing go by the board. What, then, is the result? The result is something altogether worthless something that reminds me of a Western clergyman. "This clergyman was very fo?id of cider. His congregation, meeting secretly last autumn, decided that it would surprise him with a hogshead of the beverage he loved, and arranged to hold a surprise party at the manse, each member to bring a demijohn of cider, and to empty it into a huge hogshead in the garden. "The party duly came off. The guests brought their demijohns, emptied them into the hogshead, and feasted afterward in the manse on apples, nuts and gingerbread. "At the height of the feasting, the clergyman host was told of the full hogshead that stood without the door, and, overjoyed, the good man said to his servant: " "Jane, take a pitcher, fill it at the hogshead, and bring it in that we may sample it.' "The maid withdrew into the darkness, and soon returned with her pitcher brimming with clear water! "For each tricky guest had filled his demijohn at the pump thinking that amid so much cider his aqueous contribution would escape unnoticed. But this trickery, like the trickery of modern politics, had been a little too unanimous." GMDDEX TAKING DOGS TO MEXICO. Charles Glidden, the enthusiastic auttomobile man, donor of the Glidden Tour Trophy and an all-round sportsman, is taking a fine Boston terrier with him on his automobile tour to Mexico in an automobile and later will take the dog to Egypt with him, unless he decides to leave him in the Southern Republic. There are few good dogs down in Mexico. President Diaz has a few but keeps them penned up on exhibition, like wild animals in the small zoo in his castle grounds. A. R. Coffin, the former captain of the Cornell crew, who is now living in Mexico City, has a magnificent French bull, bred in Boston, and that about lets the big capital out, except for a few poodles owned by some of the French residents. There are more just plain dogs in Mexico to the square inch, however. than in any other country in the world, and Mr. Glidden will probably wing a few hundred while he is speeding over the magnificent country roads in his big car. They will not be missed by iue uuiivt's, as me animals average about three per caput. Make Pets of Baby Camels, Baby cameiS are great pets in South Africa, and are nursed and tended, and even carried about by their attendants. During the first few months they hardly weigh more than an ordinary dog.

rEW fDEA IN POLITICS

Secretary Bonaparte Is the Father Thereof-He Would Legalize Political "Bosses." MAKE THEM SOLE NOMINATORS Taking the -Nominations to Office Out of Popular Control. Would Elect One Every Year for Each Organized Party Independents to Save Their Highta. Baltimore, Xov. 12. In an interview published in The News Secretary of ti e Navy Bonaparte suggested the establishment of a legalized "boss" in each political party in each of the states nnd cities, the "boss" to be empowered to select the candidates for the various elective offices, thereby do ing away with nominating conventions. Declaring that he was speaking seriously, Secretary Bonaparte continued: "It is hard, indeed, very hard often impossible to get the men who are fit for public office to become candidates. Somebody Has to Select. "Somebody has to do a great deal of w ork in finding the right man for each place and inducing him to run for it. Unfit candidates can be secured by the bushel, but public life in this country involves such, grave sacrifices of both inclination and interest for men of character, ability and high staading in the community thnt they have to be driven into it by a short of compulsion, through appeals to their sense of public duty, in some cases of party loyalty. Defines a Legalized Bosh. "Now, by a 'legalized boss' I mean an individual authorized on be-half of one of our parties to choose all candidates of that party for elective offices within a designated territory to do intelligently, deliberately and carefully the work which is supposed to be done by nominating conventions or 'Crawford county' primaries, but which would be done by such agencies so thoughtlessly, hurriedly and negligently that it is done usually, in fact, by the local 'boss,' or ring, in secret. Provides for the "Kickers." "Of course every facility should be afforded for making 'independent' nominations, whether within the organized parties or -without, so that all citizens who may be dissatisfied for whatever reason with the 'regular' nominations may be able to vote effectively according to their convictions." WOULD ELECT THEM ANNUALLY Every Voter to Have the Right to Name His Man. The reporter asked how Bonaparte would choose his proposed "legalized boss." "He ought to be elected an nually," said the secretary, "by the legal voters of his party at a primary held under all the sanctions of law, and at which only this one office or rather, position should be filled. Each voter would .only have to say whom he considered the best man in the party to be constituted a nominating convention of one for all elective offices within the state, city or county, as the case might be. This would be a very simple duty, and I am inclined to think it could be satisfactorily performed by the average voter. "I likewise think it probable that no one of the persons who have been known as 'bosses' since I have known something about politics would have been elected at such a primary. Per haps it might be wise to provide that the 'nominator' or 'legalized boss' 1 have suggested should be himself disqualified to hold public office, but of this I am uot sure; there are certainly two sides to the question." The secretary was then asked whether he expected to get up an agitation in favor of establishing "legalized I csos.' "No,'' he said, "the thoughts I have just expressed are crude and undeveloped, and probably worth no mere than you will pay for them. Moreover I fear I am getting decidedly into the sere and yellow for purposes of political agitation; perhaps for oth er purposes, also. But I am inclined to the belief that if somebody with half my years and four times my leisure would take these ideas up seriously he might, perhaps, work out something of benefit to the public and tending to promote good government." Xew York Election Results, Xew York. Xov. 12. The only new thing in the political situation in this state is the discovery of discrepancies between the police election returns and those given out as official.

SPLIT OF CUBAN LIBERALS

Havana, Xov. 32, A serious split has occure J in the ranks of the Liberal party, due to the belief of the more radican element, largely composed of negroes, that Alfredo Zayas is too friendly with the United States, even to the extent of secretly favoring annexation of the island by the United states.

J., that a pet buck deer killed Ilerbert Bradley, a wealthy flour exporter -whose body was found Saturday night on the preserves at his home there.
