Telegraph News bv Direct Wire from All Oyer Indiana Muncle, Ind., Nov 30.-rTfhe efforts of Citizens of Muncie to have the liquor and gambling laws enforced, following tbe declaration of the Hev. Dr. C. M. Carson, in a public address, that the town never was more "wide open" thnn now, took an unexpected turn when, at the joint meeting of the board of police commissioners, city patrolmen, prominent ministers and others, there appeared unexpectedly Lon A. Guthrie, Muncie's "boy mayor." Not only did Guthrie pro to the meeting, but he also remained there, and he made a speech that all but knocked the police iboard and others speechless. ;: lie Racks Up the Clergy.l Mayor Guthriedeelared that not only did the ministers tell the truth when they said that Muncie was in the fcands of a lawless political gang, but that he was able to prove it, and that he had enough affidavits in his possession to 'show that practically no effort was being made to enforce the laws. As mayor Guthrie proceeded in his speech he denounced in violent and almost Intemperate terms the police commissioners, and his voice trembled with emotion as he spoke. x Then Tackles the Hoard. "You police commissioners know that the laws are not being enforced, yet you attempt to run a bluff on these ministers and good citizens'!' he shouted, pale with excitement. "I have ample evidence set forth In affidavits, and you could have it if you wanted it, but my evidence Is going to go before the grand jury. If you commissioners do net want to enforce the law, "why do you not hand in your resignations to Governor Hanly? Yoai may tell some of these men that you are unaware of the extent of the law violations in Muncie, but you know you cannot tell it to me nor to anybody else "who has taken pains to Inform himself." Somebody Said "Liar." Mayor Guthrie then said that he in- . fended to proceed, through the medium of the grand jury, to see that the laws were enforced, since the commissioners would not enforce them. Once during Guthrie's speech somebody shouted tbe word "liar," but just who It was and against whom it was directed, none in rhe conference afterward would say.

WIDE TlftKS AND GKAYEl. ROADS. It does not require the wisdom of a Solomon to discover that wide tires on the farm and road wagon are a benefit to farmers In many ways. Broad tires lightens the draft by presenting more surface to the road bed, and they do not sink so easily into soft ground for the same reason. Since heavy loads can be hauled more readily with a wide tire wagon than with that having narrow tires the owner of such a conveyance is thus more merciful to his horses. Tests and observations have proved that wide tires are a bene- t

at to country roads while the narrow ! nouneoment is made that the operators tires are road destroyers. Wide tires ! of thirteen mines in the Bingham disact as rollers, compacting the track. ! triet. employing about 2.0X) men will

while narrow ones only cut up the roadway and make travel upon it very difficult in bad weather. Wide tires cost but little more than narrow tires, hence there is no good excuse for the use of the latter. Farmers are beginning to see the necessity and economy in using the broad tires and are slowly discarding wagons of narrow tires.

During tho absence of Smith Brlggs arrived at the Smith house and demanded admission, which was refused by Charles Ilalliday, a colored cook, the only man about the premises at tbe time. Priggs threatened to make trouble and Ilalliday started to bring Chief of Police Kimball to the scene, leaving in tho house Mrs. Priggs and her children, Mrs. Smith and Ethel. The women and children, fearing that Priggs would force an entrance, locked all the doors and windows and built barricades of chairs. Kthel the Only Defender. Ethel procured her father's revolver, a 32-caliber weapon. As soon as Hallidny was out of sight P.riggs again demanded admittance. This being refused he drew a large carving knife from beneath his coat and cut away the netting from the screen on the front door. ITe then smashed a pane of glass in the door, reached his arm on the Inside, turned the key in the lock and threw back the bolt. As he started to enter the house Ethel warned him that she would shoot. She Does the State a Service. Priggs paid no attention to the child's words, and as he forced tho door open the girl fired two shots at him, both bullets lodging in his body. Priggs hesitated for a moment and then kept on. The child fired three more shots, every bullet taking effect, and Priggs staggered back and fell dead on the steps. All of those who were at the house at the time of the shooting say that when Priggs approached the house he was muttering throats to kill his wife and children.

So as far as can be ascertained forty persons were killed, ninety-six dangerously wounded and several hundred, were slightly injured as a result of the explosion of the roburit factory near Annen.

Among the killed were the burgomaster and police inspector of the town of Witten, In the vicinity of the roburit factory.

The steamer Antilochus brought news from Singapore of the dramatic ending of Holland's two-century old war In South Celebes. After a siege of many months the Hollanders captured the mountain fortress of Parupu, where the rebels made their last stand. This was almost like an eagle's nest impregnable, almost inaccessible and impossible of being taken by storm. The Hollanders made a cordon, seeking to prevent supplies reaching the rebels, and finally the rebel leaders, seeing that further resistance meant annihilation, surrendered with 900 men. The insurrection in South Celebes will end with this surrender. Shows Our Prosperity. New York, Nov. SO.

"It has been the pretense and con tention of the south that the shiftles.i and ignorant negro was the one sho despised, but the real south appeared In her true colors when she took pains to run down, humiliate and outrage tho most intelligent, thrifty and upright people of the community. This was sen reel v over before the chief magis trate of the ration covered himself with eternal shame and disgrace by his unjust, unkind, undemocratic, unAmerican and czarocratlc, cold, cruel,! drastic and infamous orders against as brave, as heroic, as self-sacriiicing a set of men as ever wore the blue or bore 'Old Glory' on a field of strife. Some Sarcastic Observations. "We will not be resentful nor revengeful, but wo are bold enough to denounce the act as an outrage and aggressive enough to demand justico at the highest court of earth, and be fore the bar of heaven. Iet him of tha 'square deal' deal square; him of tho 'fair play' play fair; him of the 'door of opportunity' not shut it and bolt It forever in the face of black veterans. "And Especially at Harvard." "Has the world's peace-maker lost his head and tired of his job, that ha can ruthlessly mistreat a suffering, hysterical woman on the one hand and outrage a battalion of soldiers on tho other soldier? to whose faithfulness he owes his life? If 'peaching' on comrades is such a soldierly virtue ho should have a chair of peachment in West Point. Annapolis, and especially at Harvard. Still Reason for Gratittide. "But in spite of all we have reason to be thankful; for again we have disappointed the world, for the soldiers lr. disgrace have acted as brave men, not resentful children: thankful that the press of the country with few exceptions has condemned such drastic measures: that the conservative people north and south do not countenance such imputative actions.
