inmanapohs, March 22. The Indian

apolis freight bureau has filed with the interstate commerce commission at Washington a complaint in which the grievances of local shippers against the railroads are specifically set out. AU the initiating roads at Indianapolis are made defendants. These in clude the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chica go and St. Louis railway, Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis, Chicago, Indianapolis and Louisville, Cinclnatl, Hamilton and Dayton, Lake Erie and Western, and the Vandalia, In brief complaint la made that Indi anapolis rates in practically all direc tions except between this city and the north Atiantic seaboard are had on ex cessively higher basis than rates in effect from surrounding cities which constitute competitive centers of man ufacturing and distribution. Mount Can't Have That $3,000. Indianapolis, March 22. The supreme court has affirmed a judgment denying to Finley P. Mount, an attor ney of Crawf ordsville, the $3,000 which he demanded from Montgomery coun ty for securing the conviction of thir ty-six persons on the charge of selling their votes at the election in Novem ber, 1900. It was shown that two persons who had bought the votes consulted with Mount about prosecuting the offenders and then suing for the rewards, but became afraid they would themselves cet into trouble, and re fused to proceed with the prosecu tion. How He Managed His Deal. Mount finally induced one of them to make affidavits against the votesellers by promising to "treat him right," and upon an understanding that any rewards recovered from the coun ty should be shared. After obtaining the thirty-six convictions Mount gave his witness, who had helped to buy the votes, $100, as "his share of the re wards," and sued the county for a re ward of $10O for each conviction. Can't Profit by His Own Wrong. The court holds that one who vio lates the law by buying votes is for bidden by public policy to take advantage of his own wrong by recovering a reward for the conviction of those whose votes he has bought, and that the rule of public policy applies equally to one who goes into partnership with the vote buyer. FINALLY gkts his children Two Little Girls Who Had Been the Objects of a Long Struggle in the Courts. Muncie, Ind., March 22. Two pretty girls, 32 and 8 years old, respec tively, have been the objects of conten tion for several years, in many courts, between W. F. Godfrey, of this city, and Mrs. Alice Lutz, Long Beach, Cal. Mrs. Lutz is Godfrey's wife, and the mother of the children. Godfrey has reobtalned possession of the children at Los Angeles by habeas corpus pro ceedings, after their mother had the custotiy for several years, in defiance of a decree of court in this city. The Godfrey's were divorce in 1891, and the custody of the children was award ed to Godfrey. Later, while Godfrey and the girla were temporarily living in Ohio, Mrs. Lutz appeared, and by alleging that her husband was not a proper person to have custody of the girls she obtained possession and fled to Califor nia, where she has been found by Godfrey, who has renewed the legal battle to regain possession. Godfrey appealed to the higher courts in Ohio, clearing his name of any imputation of unfitness in caring for the children. What the Girls Demand. Linton, Ind., March 22. The girla employed in the telephone exchange demand that their wages be increased from $4,50 a week to $5, and that they be paid $1.20 for each Sunday they aro compelled to work. Heretofore they havo not been paid for Sunday labor. They also demand an eighthour day and weekly payments. Kennedy's Shortage Is $1,150. Terre Haute, Ind., March 22. The convention of district No. 11, United Mine Workers, has received the resignation of Secretary-Treasurer John II. Kennedy, who has admitted a shortage in his accounts. The amount is 1,150, according to the report of the auditing committee. Fire In a Novelty Plant. Vincennes, Ind., March 22. The Vincennes Novelty Manufacturing company's plant was damaged by fire to the extent of $73,000. Partly insured. No Known Cause lor This. Jeffersonville, Ind., March 22. Philip Jackson, 55 years old, swallowed carbolic acid and died in five minutes. N cause is known for the ruIcide. Dropped Dead While Talking. Wabash, Ind., March 22. Mrs. Geo.

Influence of Souls on Soula. An American physician now comes forward with the astounding informa tion, that the soul has a given weight, ranging from one to one and one-half ounces and may be weighed on tho scales the same as any material or merchandise. No sooner had this an-1 nouncement found Its way into print than the famous French astronomer and physicist took up the discussion,

substantiating in part the doctors dis- ous branches of the Thaw family, decovery and further adds that "souls clares he is firmly convinced thai; Thaw

may have influence on souls." in other words; the soul may have infiuence on another soul at great distance, in such a manner as to actually direct the receiving soul's movements. This is classified as a psychic message. The above is splendid food for thought and no doubt is being thor oughly investigated by brilliant and ca Ipable minds and even accepted by some of them, but the question that runs in my mind is this: If psychic man! festations cannot and do not engage my senses only when slumber, partial or complete has control of them, why should I support any such theories, much less advocate them? To support, believe in or follow the visions that come to all of us, more or less, during slumber, Is an indication of an unsound mina iskb nomacn cor rectlves better still, correct the phy sical ills and psychic manifestations disanDear.

It la Produced This Morning and the

Judge Then Gets Busy on His Decision of the Matter. i-usmci. aitorney Jerome presented to Justice Fitzgerald eight affidavits In support - K,1Ero.fstion he madft Vfrln :inv In the case of Harry Thaw thai the defendant is now in such a state of lunacy or Insanity as to be incapable of understanding the proceedings against him, or making his defense. The court was in session for less than an hour, Delmas, for the defense, stat ing that his answer to the district attorney's proposition was not ready. Justice Fitzgerald allowed both sides until tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock to blQ guch affi(iavits as they desire with the clerk of the court. Adjourneu to wonuaj iuoruing. There will be no turtner nearing m the matter of the appointment of a lunacy commission unless Justice Fitz-t-prshl sn rlirpotn After considering such affidavits and exhibits as are offered. Neither the jury nor Thaw was in court. The jury having been excused until this morning at 10:30 o'clock there was a brief session at that time and a formal adjournment until Mon day morning was announced. By Mon day Justice Fitzgerald is expected to be ready to announce his decision. Jerome's Plea Is Denied. Jerome pleaded for permission to ex amine Dr. Allan McLane Mamilton orally, but in the absence of a waiver of Professional privilege on the part L01 tce oetense Justice mrzgeram saia f11" uld not allow the doctor to be examined further at this time. Justice Fitzgerald added significantly that he would take ludielal notice of everv thinr whih had ben adduced in evi dence durinff the nine weeks of the ble of directing bis defense. This ques Jerome now contends that the defense thus waived the matter of nrofeasrinnaj privilege JEROME EXPLAINS HIS COURSE Why He Did Not Earlier Try to Prove Thaw Insane. Jerome's affidavits embraced the opinion of his seven experts wrho have heretofore testified, and a statement by Irvin S. Cobb, a newspaper report er, who gave the text of the statement which Thaw issued at the conclusion of Jerome's long and severe cross-ex' amination of his wife. All the state's expert alienists were sure that Thaw is now insane, Jerome, in presenting his affidavits, called particular atten ticn to tne one signed. Dy Dr. Carlos F. MacDenald, who after reciting what he has witnessed in court, his ob serrations of Thaw immediately after the tragedy, and what he has learned as to epilepsy and insanity in vari is suffering from paranoia. District Attorney Jerome occupied most of the time the court was in ses sion in a personal explanation of the reasons which had hindered him from earlier calling the attention of tL court to Thaw's present state of mind, He said he had long been convinced that the defendant was of unsound mind, but he had no way of legally bringing the matter to the attention of the court until Dr. Hamilton was put uPon the stand by the defense. Jer ome said ne could not have called Dr. Hamilton, on account of the professional privilege which the defense couid have interposed as a bar to any testimony the expert might have to offer Delmas declined again to waive any privilege with regard to Dr. Hamilton, on the ground that if the district attorney's contention as to the present insanity of the defendant is sound his lawyers have no right to waive anythAnz for a lunatic. Tr hnd hPn m morml nli thnt n-1moa t - , V AV sumed by some of his associate coun euusua.v. .an xue attorneys were present, however, when Justice Fitzgerald took his place on the bench. Delmas alone was heard by Justice Fitzgerald. Twice Hartridge attempted to enter the argument, but waa rapped down by the judge. Overruled on Every Point. Chicago. March 22. The Standard Oil company In its trial before Judge Landls on a charge of accepting rebates from the Chicago and Alton railway, met with defeat ou nearly every hand. Every ruling of the court balked the efforts of the company's attorneys to bar technical evidence on which tho government's case Is principally based. "Jungle" Author Censured. New olrk, March 22.

Ex-Chief of the Illinois Central, However, Does Not Approve State Control of Railway Bonda

and Stocks. Philadelphia, March 22. Stuyvesant Fish, of New York, until recently president of the Illinois Central railroad, delivered an address before the students of the Wharton School of finance of the University of Pennsyl vania, rie took for his subject: "Faith tee basis of finance." Fish said in part: "There can be no good financial system in the world unless the peopl have faith in their banks, their bank ers and their securities. Simply because there is an occasional flurry in the stock market by which money i8 ost is no reason for the people thinkng that the financial conditions are wrong, but merely that these things are bound to occur from time to time. Not Knocked Out by Iloosevelt. "The fact that the Investigation of the railroad conditions of the country was ordered bv President Roosevelt had no more to do with the recent decline in railroad stocks in Wall street than you or I. It is quite true that the investigation did unearth some eondtions that could only be characterized by the use of extremely bad language. That there have been rot ten conditions in railroad circles Is known to all those who have had to deal with the management of vast railroad interests. The result of these conditions has just been felt, and will be felt to a greater or less extent until they are entirely corrected. Opposed to State Restriction. "Stock robbery cannot be stopped by legislation, and the only way it can be stopped is by getting rid of dishonest officials. Laws will never remedy the evil. What is needed is proper en forcement. The legitimate rise and fall in railroad securities is a necessity. The railroads need money for improve ments, and they can only secure it by the legitimate sale of stocks and bonds. To have these sales restricted by law or controlled by government legisla. tion would be rather hard on the cor porations and would not be fair, to say the least. As to 2-Cent Fares. At the conelusionof his address Fish answered such questions as the students put to him. Among other ques tions asked him was one as to whether or not the railroads can stand the 2-cent fare throughout the country. II19 reply was that the railroads need mon. cy and that it must be provided through the collection of fares. He said that the demand of the publie for fast train service, etc., made an expense upon the various companies that cannot be met by the payment of the smaller fare. Of course, some of the roads could 6tand it, while othere could not. WOMEN IN A SUBMARINE Mrs. John M. Thurston and Mrs. J, C. Lake Go Down ta the Bottom of the Sea, Not Like McGinty. Bridgeport, Conn., March 22. Mrs. John M. Thurston, wife of ex-United States Senator Thurston, of Nebraska, and Mrs. J. C. Lake, wife of the as sistant manager of the Lake Subma rine Torpedo Boat company, said to be the first women ever to make a trip in a submarine boat, were among u party of prominent persons that m. de a trip on a submarine yesterday. The boat was submerged for two hours In Long Island sound, just outside the Bridgeport harbor, during which luncheon was served and an hour de voted to impromptu speeenmaking. Governor Need Not Pay Rent. Lincoln, Neb., March 22. The state supreme court has handed down a de cision to the effect that Governor Shel don need not pay $100 a month rent for the use of the executive mansion as a place of residence. The question to decide was whether a free house for the governor is not equivalent to giving him a perquisite forbidden by the constitution. Federation to Ask Legislation. wasninsrton, .iarcu vrz. A con ference with railroad brotherhood rep resentatives at which a declaration was made for congressional legisla tion limiting to the supreme court of the United States the power to declare acts of congress unconstitutional was the most important feature of the sea sion of the Federation of Labor execu tive.
