G overnor Declares That" Reformatory Superintendent Has Only Followed the Lead of Other Men in Nepotism. TIMES' BlRE.ll' AT THE STATE CAPITAL. Indianapolis, Ind., Dec. 10. Governor Marshall has shot off a piece of fireworks which is causing a good deal of comment. Some criticism has been heard of the fact that D. C. Peyton, superintendent of the Jeffersonville reformatory, has appointed a nephew of Ir. Harry Sharp of this city to a position in the reformatory. Dr. Sharp ii the republican member of the board of trustees of the-institution, who was appointed by Governor Marshall some time ago. Soon after Dr. Sharp's appointment the board appointed Dr. Peyton superintendent of the place to succeed V. II. Whittaker. It has frequently been said that it looked bad for the superintendent to appoint a nephew Hammond Iron & Metal Go, MARCUS BROS., Props.'

of a member of the board which elect ed hina.

The governor said in a statement that he was tired of the criticism, and that he was looking. Into the matter to ascertain whether any law had been violated. He said if there had been a violation of the law he would take such steps as are warranted. But he said if it was merely a breach of propriety he did not think the republican papers of the state should condemn Dr. Sharp for having his nephew appointed. He said Dr. Sharp had only followed the precedent of other officials elected by , his party. j The governor then calls attention to , the fact that several state officials nave had members of their famines on the state's pay roll, and that the papers should not single out Dr. Sharp and make" him the scapegoat. "When I came In office I discovered that a son of Oscar Hadley, state treasurer, marched boldly up to the state treasury and drew a salary of $720 a year as stenographer when he knew nothing about stenography. I felt It my duty to complain and I did so. He waa finally removed as stenographer, and as a reward for his good nature in not complaining about his removal he has been advanced on the pay roll to a $2,500 position, where he has since been drawing that salary," said the gov ernor. 'I also ascertained that John Billheimer, auditor of state, has a son and a ciaugnter on the pay, roll or the state. Ed. V. Fitzpatrick. clerk of the supreme court and appellate courts, has two sons on the pay roll. James Bingham, attorney general, has a broth er on the pay roll. K. J. L Peetz, state statistician, is assisted in holding down his job by his wife, who draws $1,800 a year. "Now, I have no control over these officers, and I am not saying that each and every one of these employes does not earn his or her salary, I simply call attention to these facts so that if my critics desire questions of propriety and decorum discussed in the forms of pub lic opinion much might truthfully be said by myself along those lines." The governor says he hopes none of the democratic state officers will put any of his relatives on the state's pay roll. It has been said that some of them had arranged to do this, but it is believed now that the position taken by Governor Marshall will prevent It. He says he would have, preferred to put a democrat on the reformatory board Instead of Dr. Sharp, a repub lican, but that the law required him to appoint a republican. in addition to the cases mentioned by the governor where state officials have relatives on th state pay roll these In stances also exist at the state house; in the office of the auditor of state J. E. Bales, a nephew of the auditor, Is etnployed as an extra clerk In the insurance department at a salary of $1,000 a year. The auditor also has cousin on the custodians force. Arch Nleewanger. In the office of the state factrr inspector a daughter of the chief inspector. William E. Blakely, is employed as stenographer at a salary not fixed by legislative enactment. A son of William Waltman, a member of the state forestry board, is employed as custodian of the state forestry in Clark county at a salary not fixed by the legislature. This appointment was made by Charles CV Deem, secretary of the board, and was opposed by the young man's father. In the office of the State Superintendent of Public Instruction Max Aley, son of Robtrt J. Aley, state superintendent, was employed until the beginning of the school year at Indiana university, when he continued his work at that place. Flans have been Considered to have! him return to the office at the close of the university year. Will E. Roty, son of Judge Frank S. Roby of the appellate court is a messenger for the court at a salary of $1,000 a year. The practice of employing members ! of the Immediate family of officers in the state benevolent institutions has been common and continues to a wide

PAYROLL WILL AMOUNT TO A HAST SUII Christmas Shopping Will Be Fixed Up for Indiana Steel Co. Employes. All the employes of the Indiana Steel company at Oary will be given the chance to spend their two weeks' pay in ample time to make their Christmas purchases. The officials of the company have arranged to pay their employes early on account of Christmas and the last pay day will take place on Wednesday and Thursday, Dec. 22 and 23. It is estimated the pay roll will amount to about $185,000, taking in all the departments of the company. Last night was the regular semimonthly pay day at the mills and the local banks remained open as usual till 9 o'clock for the convenience of the employes. The amount paid out yesterday was $177,174.07, which is considerable less than the last pay, but this was occasioned by deductions being made for stock and rents. Local merchants last night report that business was unusually brisk and a larger amount of money being turned over to them. Hereafter the local merchants will keep their stores open every night until after the holidays. PEiSYffllA AT LAST INSTALLS GATES Death Crossing at Indiana Harbor Protected to Some Degree. (Special to The Times.) Indiana Harbor, Ind., Dec. 11. The Pennsylania railroad has Installed its gates at the Michigan avenue crossing of its right of way and workmen are now at work on the Watling street gates. The Michigan avenue gates were operated yesterday ' and work without a hitch. The gates have long been a necessity, the urgency of which was emphasized Monday when Joe Sekulskl met his death at the crossing. The tragedy seems doubly unfortunate. Inasmuch as the railroad company at that time had workmen at work putting in the gates which had been ordered by the city council at the last meeting of that body. extent. The movement started by the governor when he told the board of trustees of the state's soldiers' home at Lafayette to be careful about appointing the son of the commandant, . S. Haggard, to a rlace at the institution hi day or two ago is said to be the start of an effort to break up the practice. Recently a purchasing agent was appointed for the Soldiers' and Sailors' Orphans' Home at Knightstown and along with It was one making the appointee's wife a matron of one of the departments at the institution. The wife of tiie superintendent of Easthaven insane hospital at Richmond draws a salary as matron, and so did the wife of the superintendent of the Central insane hospital, in this city, until re cently. The stand taken by the governor has

made something of a sensation.

GIRLS fl THEATRE Manager of Princess Thea ter Defends His Show and Imputes Scandal. FIGHTS NARROWLY AVERTED "Chorus Girl" Proposition In Gary Becoming Some Serious In Magic City. Neiman's "imposition" known as the Princess theater, is still running in full blast. As for the "baby blue" chorus the plot still thiekens and the names of several Gary lawyers and other men well known to the public and whose names have not been spelled correctly' oh certain hotel registers, and who have established better reputations as stage door Johnnies than they have in their business vocations, have become common property the length and breadth of Broadway. A few nights ago a fight waa narrowly averted by rivals of these young ladies on Broadway,, and scenes in restaurants after the show make apparent the class that is now furnishing the amusement at this theater for which an admission of ten cents Is charged, billed as a musical comedy and in which the bewhiskered jokes are so stale, the people go to admire the monumental nerve of the artist that sprlngs them. As is usually the case the morbid curiosity of the public, led them to pat ronize this place extensively since the recent criticism of The Times, but in most cases the patrons slipped in and slipped- out of the pjace after accu rate observations of the vicinity that would put Explorer Cook to shame. Not many of them would admit that they were there, afterwards, either. The chorus girl proposition in Gary is becoming serious. Not only are some of them of tender' years, but many of them deport themselves in a manner so brazen that they have been regarded as xiublie demoralizers. The following communication was sent to The Times "regarding one of the many scandals that have' been divulged, by the manager of the theater: Gary, Ind., Dec. 9, '09. The Times, Gary. Ind. Gentlemen In the issue of your . paper of the 9th., inst., an article appeared stating that I had informed the newspapers of Gary, that a certain married man was connected with the chorus girls of the Princess theater, in a questionable way.

(Special to The Times.) East Chicago, Dec. 11. There is no intention on the part of the school board to close the schools of East Chicago and Indiana Harbor, on account of the epidemic of scarlet fever that prevails in the Twin Cities. "I do not think the situation Is a fflciently serious to warrant any such drastic measures,", said Mr. Canine. "It is unfortunate that the DeLor store was allowed to remain open bo long after scarlet fever developed -in the family, but we are in hopes that no serious developments wyi accrue. The teachers are Instructed to watch the children under their charge vigilajitly, and in case they discover any child who exhibits the slightest symptoms of the malady the child is sent home. Also if the teachers hear of a child having been evposed to the disease, the child is sent home. -In small towns It Is frequently the case that the schools are closed on account of a single case of scarlet fever 'or diptheria, but that plan could scarcely be followe dout in East Chicago, where it would be impracticable to close the schools, unless the situation become very grave Indeed. More harm would follow in the case of the suspension of the schools in a city of this sizjg and character than good." Tho DeLor store was closed yesterday, Dr. Kaleigh Hale attending to the matter.
