INTIMIDATING If the reported attack upon Sister 'for James Finneran i8 true, it is no

a case where a man is fighting in desperation to keep from being sent to the penitentiary for the most heinous of crimes.

This alleged attack ought to be

by the court. Any attempt to Intimidate witnesses is a crime against Jus tice and is a reflection on the dignity of the courts of the land.

It is said that Finneran and his crowd have succeeded in winning over

the uncle of the girl to their cause and their desperate effort to win this fight.

If thi3 is true, it is all the greater reason why the court should throw as many safeguards as possible about the witnesses for the state and about

the jury. The courts have been responsible to overlook this incident and it should demands a fair trial and a fair trial is timidated. THE "PEE-PUL" NOT Despite all that has been printed Castleman, Gary's Fifth ward alderman

man deigned to say in an interview:

"You can tell the pee-pul that I was the only alderman that voted against this here Dean heating franchise and I was one of the men who

voted against the street railway franchise. "The "pee-pul" can now tell who are honest men."

In any event the picturesque statesman from the south part of Gary,

who sports a touring car, a. country

tobacco, which he chews day and night, seems to be out of the mischief

when the eat returns.

Civic virtue hath is own reward and while Alderman Castleman is serving the country and its payroll, fighting the battles of the common herd,

jnade the butt of newspaper jokesmiths, pee-pul will be civil enough to be care what the. papers say as long as become a household word.

"FALLING" FOR A FAKE.

In commenting on the exposure In

culation by a Gary paper, the Rensselaer Republican says:

"An article went the rounds of the Gary negro was going to marry a white

paper published the article, most of the other papers fell for it. It now develops that the buck had a news item set up in a job office and credited to a paper supposed to be printed at Blanton, Neb., and then mailed the

the exposure of his coarse joke. The publication by metropolitan papers of photographs of Jack Johnson, the champion prizefighter, and his white wife has doubtless contributed a great deal to inspiring the desire in the minfs

of beastly-minded blacks to marry white women. There is a lot of trash

that should be censored and kept out of

The Evening Chit-Chat By RUTH CXeVMEROIN .

Some topic of sex came up the other day and a young egaged girl detailed to us her fiance's views on the subject. A sweet little old lady leaned forward and listened intently to the young girl's words, and when she had finished, cried out in evident wonder: "But you don't really mean you talked over all that with him?" ' "Why,1' yes," said the girl. "We feel that it Is false modesty to be afraid of talking about such real vital things, and ao if they happen to come up, we are not afraid to speak out. Of course, we always talk about them In a, perfectly nice way." The little old lady shook her head. 'Of course. It's all right my dear, or I know you wouldn't do it, but Tm sure you never did. Why, Just imagine. John's telling me about about the old lady's lips refused to name the subject about things like that," she finished, "before we were married. Well, well, I suppose times have changed." It was twilight,' but even In the semi-darkness I could see that the little old lady was blushing. Times have changed in this particular. The pendlum was swung from the extreme of an ultra-modesty that attempted to ignore the existence of sex, and that fled from any frank speech on that subject as from a plague and that either produced or assumed a ridiculous ignorance of vital things. Instead of fine, fearless lnoncenee. And this, I think, is very, very good. mayor of Logansport for several terms and a former candidate for Congress from the Eleventh District, is in a critical condition at a Marlon hotel, last night, and there is much mystery as to what is responsible for his Illness. The police say that Maj. McKee is suffering from the effects of an overdose of chloral hydrate, but It is not known whether the drug was taken with medicinal Intent. Maj. McKee was attended by surgeons from Marlon National Military Home, where he has been staying for several months. EXTERf "lEA OF KOT Gl'II.TY. Eight aleged whitecappers of Harvey McFaralnd. a farmer living near Harmony, appeared before Judge James B. Wilson in Circuit Court yesterday and entered pleas of not guilty. The" trials were set for Nov. 15. but It Is said that a continuance will be asked until the January term. Mr.FarlAnd was unable to appear In court, as he was Injured in a runaway accident Saturday. The ac cused In cvourt were Tobe Sonddy, Wil liam 8noddy, Silas M. Adams, Newton Adams, Joseph Shields, Jack Grubb, George and Arthur Hatton. BOYS DEATH DIE TO WHISKY. Coroner Pierce of Richmond yesterday concluded his investigation of the death of Ernest J. Weber, a seven teen -year-old boy, who died two weeks ago a few hours after drinking a quantity of whisky given him by threa men. who have been in jail since the day following Weber's death. The coroner reports that an analysis of the contents of Weber's stomach has shown that the liquor was S per cent, alcohol. No poison other than alcohol was found. Death was due, the coroner says, to acute alcoholism. His verdict does not fix the responsibility, and whether the three mea can be prosecuted for anything more serious than giving liquor to minors has not been determined. MEETS WITH ACCIDENT. Harry Morefort, of Shelbyvilie. a workman, while on his way to dinner yesterday, stood on a Big Four switcn. waiting for an east-bound . freight to pass. He failed to see a local freight switching on the track on which he was standing, was knocked down by the first car. The front wheels ran over his legs, tutting the right, leg oft at the knee and severing the left foot.

Cr- r , 2m i tew ' But like all pendulums, I am afraid this one is inclined to swing too far the other way. The girl of today is very anxious to stand erect Instead of with the drooping posture of her grandmother's day she does not sometimes bend too far backward. t She wants to be sensibly frank. Isn't she sometimes foolishly so? She thinks she talks of all these matters merely to be sensible, and to show that she is not afraid to call a spade a spade. But I wonder does no other motive ever creep In? Does the excitement, the Intimacy, the thrill of venturing on the forbidden ground hand-in-hand with him have nothing to do with her desire to be frank? Uderstand me, I do not mean that this Is a deliberate conscious motive. Rather one of these deeply hidden springs of action whoa epresence can only be revealed even to ourselves by a trip to the bottom of our hearts. Indeed, I do not mean to be harsh nor to Impugn your modesty, dear honest, frank, litle girls of the twentieth century. I hate prudishness as much as you do. But I want you to stand on this matter neither drooping forward nor bending gracefully ' backward, but flely and splendidly erect. So you will try to be sure you are doing that, won't you? RUTH CAMERON. Morefort was twenty-one years old yesterday. He was married a week ago last Monday to Hatel Juan Reed, age sixteen years. Before coming to Shelbyvilie he lived In Glenwood, Rush county. EATS EIGHT AT EIGHTY-SIX. The newspapers recently . told of a remarkable crop of old-fahsioned Vandiver apples from a tree in John W. Ferguson's orchard near Milton. The tree is ninety-three years old, or seven years older than Mr. Ferguson, whose accomplishments are not limited to apple raising. He is hale and hearty at eighty-six, has never had the rheumatism, and not much sickness of any kind, and says he can Outrun, outjump or throw down any man of his age in the state. Mr. Ferguson is a champion of the apple dumpling, particularly If it Is made of Vandlver apples. He was visited recently by his nephew, Louis Wilcox, of Los Angeles, who challenged him to an apple dumpling contest. When the contest was over the referee found that Ferguson had eaten eight and one-half and Wilcox nine, and they were big dumplings at that, as they would have to be when made of Vandlver apples. SA'.KS LAMP, IOOSES THIEF. After Harry Cohn, of Indianapolis, second-hand dealer, 707 Masachuaetts avenue, had led a thief back to his place last evening and made him give up a lamp he had stolen, Cohn told the police the thief drew a revolver and threatened Cohn's life if he was not released. Cohn released the man, who made his escape. Bicyclemen Hanks and Radamacher arrived shortly afterward and searched the neighborhood, but failed to find the man. Philip Baglen, 2647 Northwestern avenue, reported the theft of his bicycle from in front of 916 Massachusetts avenue last night. RESENTS INSPECTION. At an early hour yesterday mornlug a shooting- took place in University Park, of Bloomington, and Edward Parham, 22 years old, son of Walter Parham, a painter, was the victim. In company with Harry Fleener, Parham passed a colored man and woman. They looked back at the colored man, which caused him to inquire: 'AVhat are you looking at?" The white men stopped

Ramsey of the Texas supreme court, who Is known as a strong advocate of prohibition, will try for the democratic nomination for governor of Texas.
