TIMES' BUREAU AT THE STATE CAPITA! Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 4. -It is believed that by tonight all of the democratic candidates for United States senator wilLhave opened headquarters In this city from which to conduct their campaign for votes 'among the members of the legislature as they come to town for the coming session. John W. Kern lives in this city, and this, of course, makes it. 'unnecessary for1 him to do much more than hang around the Denison hotel" and Jtpeet the members without establishing a real headquarters. L. Ert Slack of Franklin came in this morning, and established himself, at the! Behison- and will remnlnhfre iintl the ' last canine has
been lynched. He has several rooters with him who will try to help him land the place. Shively on Deck. B. F. Shively of South Bend was here nearly all of last week and is expected to return today to remain until the end of the fight. Major Menzies of Mount Vernon and his cohorts from the First district, came in today, as did John E. Lamb of Terre Haute. Edward G. Hoffman, the brilliant young statesman from Fort Wayne, who has the undivided support of Senator Steve Fleming and the Twelfth" district, was here
Saturday, but went home, leaving word that he will return the first of the week and open headquarters. A Table of Probability. It is impossible to make an accurate forecast of the situation as it exists at this time with reference to the senatorship, because there are many elements to be considered. But there seems, to be good reason for expecting that the first ballot in the democratic caucus for the nomination of a candidate for senator will result as follows: Kern .

Total ..S3 There are sixty democrats in .the house and twenty-three in the senate.. Slack: to Lead Shively for a Time. If the vote does not stand exactly as
given above on the first ballot it will
be mightly close to it. The only serl-
... ous doubt seems to be as to the rela
tive strength of Shively and Slack. The general opinion is that Slack will start
with more votes than. Shively will have, but there are some who figure just the
opposite. But the logic of the situation
seems ot dictate, that Slack will lead
Shively, because Slack will have his own strength the elements that is and
has always been opposed to the old
order of. things in the democratic par
ty in Indiana. Couple this with Slack's
personal following and every man has
at least come votes that he can con
trol as a personal matter and you
have about the number of names above
On the other hand Shively Is going to draw a large part of his support from the very element that would support Kern if Shively was not in the
race. To make much of a showing Shively has got to take some votes
away from Kern, while he wnlliot away from Kern, while he will not get much, if any, support from the Slack
faction. ( Candidate in the First District. ; It is fairly safe to assume that the First district will give its three democratic votes to Menzies, because Menzies lives in that district. That Is about all Menzies will get, too. The
Second district has no candidate, thoug Second district ' has ' no candidate, though Robert W. Miers, of Bloomington, is mentioned as a possibility, and Representative Harrison of Bloomington says he will vote for him. It is believed that. Kern will get four votes and Slack two in the Second. The Third 'has no candidate. In this district Shively is exceptionally strong.
mated that the Third will give Shively
five. Kern two and Slack two. In the Fourth district, which is Slack's home district, there are eighth democratic members. Slack will get at least six of them and may get them all, but it is believed that two will go to Kern. Fifth for Lamb. The Fifth has nine votes. Lamb will probably get all of them on the early ballots, though there is a' chance that two may go to Slack. . In the Sixth district, which has no candidate of its own. , Slack will probably get three and Kern two. At least.
there will be almost an even break one way or the other.
and all of these win go to Kern, of More Are Coming in Daily and Guar
course. The Eighth will be badly split. It is believed that Kern will get four, Shively two and Hoffman one. ' There is no indication of any Slack strength in the Eighth. The Ninth has no candidate. It has six votes, and these will be evenly divided between Slack and Kern. Tenth for Shivery. There is no doubt as to what the
Tenth district will do. Representative John B.' Faulknor of Michigan City, the
only democratic member of the legis
lature from that district, has already
announced that he will be unanimous
for Shively.
. The Eleventh has three votes and no
candidate for senator. It is figured that Shively will get two and Shive
ly "one in the Eleventh.
The Twelfth -is for Hoffman.. It has
eight, votes and Hoffman will get all
of them.
The Thirteenth is solid for Shively
with Its six democratic votes.
Rank and File with Kern. Undoubtedly each district has Its
second choice, and it -is safe to say
that In this fight second choice lies
between Kern and Slack. If this be
true, then the real fight lies between these two candidates, just as it has
all during the campaign for the sena-
torship. And It seems at , this time almost impossible to figure out just
how they are going to keep Kern
from winning out. He will have more votes than any other candidate at the start, and he will have in addition the
expressed with of a large portion of
the rank and file that he be elected.
And this counts for something. Add Indiana Senatorship Scrap

However, the effect is already noticeable. The number of men employed has been reduced. But there are many improvements in contemplation in the new plant. - It is understood that a new process of refining oil has been adopted by which the crude oil stays in the same stills. This will do away with the tar stills and will make the whole process . possible in the crude stills. It is said that the adoption of this new process will make it possible to do the.

The four new teachers, with the exception of Professor Brinkley, 'commenced their duties at the various schools today. The reason for the school board taking the above course and engaging the extra teachers is for the reason of the increase in attend
ance in the local schools. Gary now has between 1,100 and 1,200 school children and more ar& arriving each day. Some of the grades are crowded and the teachers are laboring under difficulties, but the school board expects to overcome this in a short time when the new school buildings now under course of construction are completed. The extra corps of teachers come to Gary well recommended and have been
long in school work in the city schools
in which they are engaged.
Miss Ora Faxon of Akron, O., will have charge of the Fourteenth street school and will take the place of S. J. Brlnkley, who will have charge of the
night school at the public library.
The past school term haa been very
successful and Superintendent W.- A,

CURRENCY OF FUR8 AND SKINS.
The Pangs of Love. 'It's a dreadful thing to be in love," said Mr. Despairing Swain. "I have a heartache that would fill three hospitals and then some."
Primitive Mode of Exchange That Pre ' vailed In Early Daye. In the early days of the .United, States- furs and skins were very generally transferred from hand to hand as money. Thus, in " the ' northm states, a pound of beaver was regarded as the unit of value, and in the , south the same weight . of deerskia performed a similar fucction. In ta far west furs retained a currency value until quite a recent date. But, after all, as a bale of skins was rather a bulky roll of money to carry about, it was customary to cut off small strips as tokens of ownership and pass them from hand tG hand, while the skins were deposited in recognized places of security. Proof of rightful ownership was demonstrated when- the strip waa fitted to the part from which It. had been detached. Trickery Jn substitut
ing another skin was not so easy as might be imagined, because it seldom happened that two skins would prove so exactly similar in shade and length of fur where the strip was cut off aa to deceive even the eye of a norice.

nowever, nan is not in as strong a position as the republican state officials,
as it was declared today that so long as there is a contest over his office the
republican majority in the senate can refuse to recognize him as presiding officer. A condition may arise similar to the one existing several years ago,, when the late Alonzo Green Smith was elected President pro tern of the senate by the democrats. He held the place throughout a stormy session, although the republicans had elected a man named Robertson for lieutenant . governor. If -tme republican majority doesn't
want to accept Hall's credentials It ls said that he can be held from office until the courts determine whether or not he is entitled to it. If he is not recognized, the senate may be presided over by Senator Will R. Wood, of Lafayette, who will be elected president pro tem.
DISTILLERS INTERESTED
Makes, New Ruling Anent Importations. Distillers generally will be Interested in an opinion by the attorney general of the United States, which relates to exportations. The attention of the treas. ury department was called to the practice recently of Certain whisky manu
facturers who have been accustomed
to withdrawing their products from bonded warehouses - and transporting
them to certain, foreign ports with the
intention of holdlnwg them for a time
and ' then having them returned as re
Importations of manufacturers of the
United States, their purpose being ' to
postpone the payment of taes on the whiskies shipped until they wish to
place them upon the market.
The question' has arisen whether such
a transportation Is an' exportation of
the whisky "and whether a withdrawal
of whisky from a bonded warehouse for such purpose is lawful. The federal attorney general holds that the transportation as mentioned is not an exportation within the" meaning of the law. He, holds that manifestly If the exportation ls not a bona fide one then there is no legal warrant for the with
drawal of the whisky, and it is a fraud
upon the government for it to be so
withdrawn according to law, and a forfeiture of the whisky could be enforced
if found within the Jurisdiction of the
