Reports filed with the board by Cravens, water chemist in charge of t.the water survey of the Ohio river ; watershed have been received by Mr. . Barnard. The reports show that Cravens and his assistants have completed the survey of the Ohio river and its tributaries from Cncinnati to Louisville. Each mile samples of water have been analyzed In the laboratories on board the state board's houseboat, and the results tabulateo. The report shows the death rate from typhoid at Vevay, Ind.. is at the rate om 134 for each 100,000 population, the highest rate along the rivr.

darles in various parts of the state are allowing their foot to slip, in the way of selling poor food, and the department is after them hot foot. Out of 16 SsamiVs of food analyzed twentyfive percent were found to be illegal. Thirty-three out of ntnety-six samples of milk were illegal. Some of them contained visible dirt. Many of tho samples were either watered, skimmed or deficient n butter fat. The samples, were collected in twelve cities and towns, though the places are not named by Mr. Barnard. "The fact that the percentage of adulteration is so high calls for active and energetic work on the part of local inspectors," he says in the report. Eleven of twenty-five drug samples analyzed were illegal. All of the

That the use of well water should be ended In Indianapolis was asserted - by Mr. Barnard, in discussing the ty- , rhoid fever situation in Indiana and Indianapolis. The state board of health, basing its belief on samples -r Veil water taken from widely scattered communities throughout the state, asserts that fully 50 per cent of the shallow wells of Indiana are polluted and nnflt for drinking purpose. Of eighteen bottles of water examined In the laboratories of the state board yesterday, eleven were fit for drinking purposes.

T. Taggart Answers Newspaper Criticism and Sting Evidently Gets Under His Jlide; Unusual for Taggart to Notice Newspapers.

TIMES' DI BEAV, AT STATE CAPITAL. Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 24. It looks like somebody had "got under the hide" of Thomas Taggart in the political game in this state, and that the wily and genial Thomas is doing a little squirming. He has written a letter to one of the Indianapolis papers in which he denies some of the things that have been printed about him and his political activity and In which also he has asked a number of questions which he wants the paper to answer. It is only now and then that Taggart ever allows the work of any newspaper to trouble him. Only once in a great while does he ever pay any attention to a paper in public, but whenever he does come out and offer a defense of 'himself against the attack of a newspaper, you may know right then and there that he has tieen hard hit, and that he feels the sting. In this particular instance' the newspaper printed an editorial In which it charged that Taggart, Crawford Fairbanks, Roger Sullivan of Illinois and Charley Murphy, the head of Tammany in New York, were working hand in hand and that they had formed a combination or the purpose of controlling

the next presidential nomination by the Democrats. It said that Taggart and the Taggart machine were at work In this state, and; that- it probably would .succeed in " selecting the delegates to the next. Democratic national convention -.unless the .HooaJejr.v,derflo-i crats took good care of their own "in

terests and prevented the combine from carrying out such a plan. It has long been the understanding that Taggart and his followers were in favor of the selection of a delegation from Indiana that , would be favorable to the nomination of Governor Marshall for president, because they knewMarshall could not be nominated, and that they could then control the delegation and swing It over to Governor Harmon, of Ohio, the candidate whom the combine wishes to nominate for president. This has been such common talk that the papers all over the state, as well at throughout the country, have printed the story and it has come to be accepted as the truth. No one longer doubts that such Is the plan and purpose of the TaggartFairbanks - Murphy - Sullivan combine. Their support of Marshall's candidacy Is like their support of the candidacy of some other Democrats who have

been talked of for the nomination for President. It is said to be one of the pet plans of the Harmon boosters to encourage booms for "favorite sons" in as many states as possible. Indiana Is one of them. It is said, and it haj been printed in dispatches from Massa

chusetts, that the Harmon boomers

have tried to Induce Governor Fobs, of that state to believe that he was presidential timber and that he ought to get into the race for the nomination. They, have tried to show him that hi could get a large number of delegates If would do so. They have told him that he Vould go into the convention with a solid delegation from his own state. Just as they have told Governor Marshall that he can get a solid delegation from this state. Of course, the Harmon boomers have an object in encouraging these "favorite son" booms. They know that if

they can get the various states to bring in their "favorite sons" as candidates, not one of them can be nominated. This puts It in a shape where the Harmon boomers, by remaining friendly with the "favorite sons," and by assisting in the naming of the delegates, can switch over these delegations to their man and nominate Harmon. This is the same old trick that has been played before, many a time, and

there is everyreason to believe thatWt Is largely responsible for the activity that some of these people are taking In the effort to obtain a Marshall delegation to the national convention. Taggart, in his letter to the local newspaper which showed up this situation, demands that the paper produce evidence to show that he is doing anything of the kind. He asks the paper to -point out any township or county in the state in which Murphy, Sullivan, Taggart and Fairbanks are carrying out the plan suggested. He wants the paper to give all of its facts. This Is the very best evidence in the world

i that Taggart feels the sting of criti

cism. He never caras tne newspapers unless he has been stung. Xhere is some talk about Thomas Nugent of Washington as a candidate for the republican nomination for auditor of state next year. Nugent-is county auditor of Washington, county and

rominent- n eeeojnd district. politics.

He is a good politician and a prominent

business man. He has several canning factories located in various parts of the state. John E. Reed's friends also are saying that he will be a candidate for the nomination for auditor of state again this year. He was the nominee for that office-last year, but since then he has been vice president of a trust company. It isjunderatood now, however, that he has the bee in' his bonnet again, and that he will probably ask for the second nomination. He was deputy auditor of state under Auditor John C. Bllliieimer. Edwin M Lee, republican state chairman, is still making his rounds of the state in furtherance . of his campaign

for re-election to that position, and tie says he Is .meeting with much encouragement. "He says no other candidate for the place has appeared, and that he does not anticipate any serious opposition. He says the republican work-i ers are much encouraged over the prospects for next year. They are ready to fight, he says, and he thinks the party will , be more harmoniously lined up next year than in the last campaign. Former Senator Beverldge is expect

ed home from Europe either In October or November, and some people are of the opinion that political developments will be lively after his return. A good many republicans are pointing to the fact that Beverldge was the man In the senate that insisted that tariff revision should come from the report of the tariff commission, andthat this same position has been taken by President Taft In all of his recent vetoes of tariff revision bills passed by congress. Beverldge and Taft appear to have reached the same conclusion on that score, and a good many republicans are pointing to this fact to show that Beverldge was on the right- track in the last campaign, when he made his fight for the creation of what he was pleased to call a real tariff commission. However, some of his friends say that he will not take any hand in politics and that he will not undertake to control the reorganization of the state committee next January.

LL ARE WARNED. Against Selling Foodstuffs That Are Below Standard. H. E. Barnard, state food and drug commissioner, has issued a circular

letter calling the attention of farmers, gardeners, hucksters and other persons producing or . dealing in fruits and vegetables to Section 2 of the pure food law, which prohibits the sale of food which consists in any proportion of decomposed, putrid or rotten vegetable substances, whether manufactured ' or not. This section plainly holds the farmer or merchant who sells unsound fruit such as apples, peaches and small fruits, tomatoes, melons and vegetables of every description, liable for violation of the pure food law.

There Is a reason for every policeman wearing his shield directly over his heart, aside from any- regulations regarding uniforms, according to one of the crossing guardians. He says the custom has saved many a policeman's life. "When a policeman goes after a fugitive !n a dark place," he said, "about the only thing which catches the eye of -the man he is after Is the shield. When the fugitive turns to shoot he fires with 'a general aim toward the shield. If the bullet goes true toward the heart it is caught and deflected. "I know several policemen who have

been saved in this way."
