Four Legislative Caucuses on at Indianapolis This Evening Plan Is Afoot Whereby Whole Senate Is to Make Appointments. TOM HOIil LOOKS SUBEjOB LEADER Race for Senatorship Is Still Lively, But Slack Is Only Candidate Who Will Venture to Give Any Figures Rich Man Wants To Be Doorkeeper Jus tfor Fun. TIMES' BUREAU AT THE STATE CAPITAL. Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 6. Four legislative caucuses will be held tonight, two by each party. The republicans of the senate will meet to elect a president pro tem., secretary, assistant secretary and doorkeeper and to adopt rules that will govern their course during the session. Among the rules will be one under which all commit tee appointments will be made by the senate as a body instead of by the democratic lieutenant governor. Another rule will be that power to adopt resolutions, pass motions and transact other business in the hands of all the senators instead of in the hands of a majority of those present. This rule will absolutely prevent the democratic minority from taking advantage of the majority when some of the republicans are absent. This will also prevent Lieutenant Governor Hall from doing anything more than presiding over the senate. Democratic Senate Floor Leader. The senate democrats will caucus and elect a floor leader. That is all there is left for them to do, as they are In the minority. Their floor leader will be either Senator Kistler of Logansport or Seaator Stotsenburg of New Albany: " " ' . House democrats will caucus in the house of representatives. They will elect a speaker, chief clerk, assistant clerk and doorkeeper, also a floor leader. There seems little doubt that Rep resentative Tom Honan of Seymour will be elected speaker, though Representative Garrard of "Vincennes Is run ning strong. The other candidates have no chance whatever. Republican House Leader. The republicans of the house, who are in & hopeless minority will caucus and elect a floor leader, which is the ex tent to which they will be able to go in this session. There are several names under consideration for this honor, among them being Representative El liott of South Bend, Representative Knlg of Wabash, Representative Fitch of Muncie and Representative Grieger of Laporte county. It looks like a horse race between them all, with the chances of Elliott a little better than the rest. Caucuses Main Thins;. Everything else is taking a back seat today for these caucuses tonight. It is necessary for both par ties in both houses to be ready for the opening of the session of the legisla ture tomorrow noon, and they must get their caucus work done in time. It is the general understanding that nothing will be done in the senatorship fight at these caucuses. These are mere organization caucuses. The senatorial caucuses will come later, probably about Jan. 17 or 18, as the first ballot for senator is to be taken on Jan. 10. Senator Race Still Lively. But, even at that, the senatorial sit uation Is just as lively as ever. All the candidate are here working like Tro jans to land the plum. A delegation numbering about 150 rooters for John E. Lamb came in from Terre Haute yesterday afternoon and marched through the streets and through the hotels, yelling for Lamb. They are but ton-holing every legislator that will stand still long enough for them to get at him, but they are not making any headway. While they make a very imposing sight and the legislators were glad to see them and to shake hands with them and to take a "hoist" with them everybody is saying that they came too early to do any good and that they should have saved their mon ey. This is the only real delegation that has shown up, and no others ex pected until about the time for the democrats to caucus on the senatorship. A False Alarm. Nobody has been able yet to find out who called the democratic caucus for yesterday afternoon at the Denison hotel. It developed that all the letters making the call and which were sent to the members of the house were mailed at Crawfordsville, but the democratic statesmen from Montgom ery county deny with scorn the insinuation that any of them sent them out. But whatever the purpose or what ever the scheme that was behind the call It did not work, for none of the representatives went to room 370, in which the caucus was to be held. In fact, no one paid any attention to the call. Slack Only Makes' Prediction. One peculiar Jeature of the present

situation in the senatorial race is the t fact that not one of the candidates' except Slack Is making any statement ;

as to the number of votes he will get in the- caucus. .Slack Insists that he is. going to win the place and that he will have 48 votes out of the total of 83 on the last ballot. He claims he Is the strongest second choice candidate in the bunch and that this will carry him' through. ' One of the rumors that gained circulation yesterday and last night was one to the effect that Representative Honan was making a deal with, the Shively supporters in order to get them lined up for him for senator. . It is said that he was promising Shively men good committee chairmanships in return for their votes, but Honan made a vigorous denial in return for their votes, but Honan made a vigorous denial of the report. He says he has not promised a committee chairmanship to Representative Faulknor of Michigan City. Faulknor is a redhot Shively man. But Honan says he did not make a proimse of any kind. Want To Be Doorkeepers.' Oliver Jones of Muncie and M. L. Thornburg of Evansville are here seeking appointment as doorkeeper of the senate. They are republicans. William Habermel of Corydon and J. Fred Frabce of Huntington wish to be assistant -clerk of the house. Charles Crawley of Sullivan M. J. Carroll of Crawfordsville and Dr. J. W. Vizard of Adams county for member of the house are candidates for principal clerk of the house. For doorkeeper of the house 'there are several candidates, among them being William Steelman of Gibson county, O. T. Dickerson of Owen county, George B. Parks of Floyd county, Thomas Barclay former representative from Franklin county and Con Cunningham of Crawfordsville. Cunningham is worth $200,000 and wants to be doorkeeper just for fun Steelman says he Is entitled to the place because he is the only candidate from the First district for any ap pointive position. PARENTS JBE CAREFUL! Children Found by Police With Frozen Faces and Fingers. That parents should be careful about spending their children to school with out the proper bundling up Is shown by the experience of three little children' who were picked up by the police this morning after they had frozen their faces and fingers. . Officer Borchert picked up a little boy, age 6, and a little girl, age 7, who were both suffering from the cold. The little girl had her cheeks frozen and the little boy had his fingers frozen. The officer took the children and after placing snow on the frozen parts man aged to relieve them. Ocer Tratebas picked up a little girl on North Hohman street this morning and found her face, badly 'frozen. The trouble seems to have been that the parents did not realize how cold it was. It seems that after the faces of the little ones are frozen they do not feel the cold and they are likely to be badly frozen before they arrive at their destination unless some thoughtful person helps them. WANTS EARLY CAUCUS Gov. Marshall Expresses Wish at State Capital Today. TIMES BUREAU, AT STATE CAPITAL. Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 6. Governo Marshall today expressed a wish for an early caucus on the senatorship so that the legislature can get down t business and the democrats could cau cus for next Tuesday night. All the candidates for senator agreed on the date. Governor Marshall has not ex pressed any preference among candi dates. He is keeping his hands oft The democrats of the house today de cided on this slat: Speaker, Represen tative Honan of Seymour; chief clerk, Dr. J. W. Vizard of Adams county; as sistant clerk, J. Fred France of Hunt Ington; doorkeeper, Thomas Barclay of Franklin. The caucus tonight will ratify this list. Senate republican have picked Senator Wood of Lafayett for president pro tem. ELECTED PRES The information was received in lo cal railroad circles from Chicago, to where it had been telephoned from New York City, that Senior Vice Pres dent W. C. Brown had been elected president of the New York Centra lines. The local employes of these lines are very well pleased, for the reason that many of them would be Inconvenienced or affected If there was to be a radical change in the management. It is understood that the only other man who was seriously considered for the place was L. F. Loree, of the Delaware & Hudson railroad. INVADE COUNTY SEAT FOE ELECTION CONTEST. Gary Republicans Appear Before Election Comissioners Today. (Special to The Times.) Crown Point, Ind.. Jan. 6. The Si-mon-WIckey election contest was marked today by the invasion of Crown Point by a large number of Gary business men and politicians, who will seek to correct the Impression that has gone out to the whole state, as a'result of democratic testimony, that Gary was a hotbed of political corruption.

CERTAINLY CLIPPER Champion Walker Turns Up at Laporte With Lie That Made Baron Munchausen Turn Somersaults in His Grave. HIS VISIT TO 1101 RECALLED Claimed To Be Walking From Bos ton to San Francisco and All He Has Been Doing for Months Is to Hit the High Spots in the State of Indiana. John Walsh, ex-United State army '), Is the bell weather liar of the whole flock. You all, of course, remember John, who blew Into Hammond Inst summer and declared that he was walking on. a waa-er from Frisco to Boston. Well, John has turned up in a dozen Indiana cities since then. At present he Is in Laporte. While he strutted up down Hammond he Impressed a lot of people as a faker, but none of us knew how good a faker John really was. He went from here to Crown Point, where he was treated like prince of the blood royal. His Experience in Laporte. Now the Laporte Herald says: "John Walsh, 67 years old, claiming to be a sergeant in company B, Second cavalry, U. S. A., who was in Laporte Saturday afternoon and evening, bears the earmarks of being a fraud. He attracted much attention on the streets Saturday and made quite a few nickels by selling cards with his autograph. The money he promptly spent In the sa loons. Walsh claims to be walking on a wager from Boston to San Francisco and return, a distance of more than 7,000 miles. The bet was alleged to have been made by Colonel Frank Warren of the Second cavalry, U. S. A., with the Hearst newspapers. Walsh claims to have left Boston on Sept. 12 and to have reached San Francisco afoot In time to have left there on the return journey Oct. 25. He claims to be twen ty-one days ahead of his schedule, which calls for the completion of the trip In 180 days. Walsh claims to have been accompanied by 1 rank Wade, a Chicago Hearst newspaper man, and Lieutenant St. Clair of the regular army, who are making the trip in an automobile. Walsh, who was dressed in the khaki uniform of the army, says that he weighed ISO pounds when he left Boston and that he now weighs 130 pounds. He carried news paper clippings and attracted much at tention because of his uniform and the flag which he carried. He says he is paying his own way and will receive the money wagered if he wins. He de clares that he sleeps only five hours a day. Easy Way -f Living. "WThat makes it look as though Walsh is -simply working a game for an easy living is the fact that according to his own statements Walsh walked from Boston to San Francisco In forty-three days. The distance is nearly 4,000 miles, In other words Walsh must have averaged over eighty miles a day. Take that in your pipe and smoke it! If he walked the same way from Boston to San Francisco as he apparently did from Laporte to South Bend he probably made the trip. Walsh struck Laporte about 2 o'clock in the afternoon. He hung around the town, visited the saloons, tried to exchange his large flag for a small flag, left part of Old Glory In one saloon, and at 11 o'clock was ejected from another saloon. At 1:40 o'clock Sunday morning, two hours and forty minutes later, he appeared in the office of The Morning News at South Bend and told the story of his trip. He claimed to have walked from Laporte. ' If he walked he must have done so in the aisles of the street car or a Lake Shore train, for he never walked from this city to South Bend, twenty-eight miles, in two hours and forty minutes. The automobile and attendants, spoken of by Walsh, were not seen in Laporte. In South Bend Walsh claimed that he left Chicago at 3 a. m. and had walked continuously. He was in Laporte at 2 p. m. Mr. Walsh had better try some other game to get a little easy money to spend in the saloons." timony which has already been intro duced and they will seek to counteract this by a statement of tiie facts. - The Gary delegation was a large one and a number of witnesses from that city testified after George Manlove, the president of the Gary Republican club, had finished. RAILROAD MEN MAKE INSPECTION TRIP. That the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern railroad may take over the Chicago Terminal Transfer, which is now In the hands of the receiver, is a report that Is based on the fact that the Lake Shore railroad officials made an Inspection tour over the Terminal yesterday.
