TIMES BCREAV, AT STATE CAPITAL. Indianapolis, Ind., 'Aug. 14. Republican ' organization men in this state are well 'satisfied 1 with the progress that 1s being made with the preliminaries of the campaign. The -main Job Up to thfs time had been the separation of the sheep from' the goats the loyal republicans from the deserters. But this Work' has been about completed, an! in a fe more days It will be possible to tell anywhere In the tate who la Kolng to stand by the republican ticket and who is not going to' rtand . br tt. This has been a task In which lines have been drawn tightly. ' The organization men have gone on the theory that men are either republicans or they are not republicans. "In some counties precinct committeemen and others who showed signs of desertion were driven oft the county committees In order that there might be no one , connected with the ' organization except . loyal' republicans. In some counties members who were' disloyal have been fired bodily and their places

filled. No quarter has been shown In this matter. But the. .situation Is' settling down nicely, now, so that the real work of the campaign can be taken up and pushed along.-- The organization work

has about been completed, and the state r committee officials now whom they may depend on. " , The result of the- roundup shows that there are. not as. many .desertera from: the. old. party as had been claimed by the, boss deserters. And this, it is said, has had a rather depressing effect on the bull moose managers, for the movement In Indiana is not gathering the momentum that they had expected. '. Two or three things have happened in the iast few days to cause uneasiness among-the bull mooters. One is that the , , charges . ' made by Senator Penrose in the senate a day or two ago that the Standard Oil company contributed $125,000 to the Roosevelt campaign -.'fund ' in 1904; ' another is that it has';-been discovered that in practically every county In the state the republicans and democrats have

managea, o get some or then own men elected as members of the bull moose county" committees, and that this glves" them "-absolutely Inside information ln'regard "to what is going on in the-Jjull moose campaign; and another is the . failure thus , -far to arouse the amount of enthusiasm among the bull' moosers that had been expected. ; ' Probably the most important of these three'dWfelopments : Is tke Penrose i attack, which many persons 'believe' will finally lead to the retirement of Roosevelt as a candidate for president. This teems to be Incredible and unreasonable, but there Is a deep-seated belief among some of the big politicians that Roosevelt will not be able to stand under the terrific fire to which he is to be subjected from this time on' in regard to trust contributions to his campaign funds. It Is said that the fight will be pushed so far as to compel him to disclose the names of the interests that are backing his present campaign, and that when these facts come to light there will be little left of him and his candidacy. Already, too, the bull moose camp in many counties is filled with distrust and suspicion since it has - become known that the democratic and republican organisations both have "planted' men on the bull moose committees to keep an eye on what is going

on. Up to this time the bull moosers

have not been able to put their fingers on any of these men, and this makes them all . the more suspicious. They do not Kfiow whom they ' can trust. They are not sure of anybody. This lack Of confidence in each other has caused a good deal of trouble in some counties, 3' It Is reported, but the fun will bgln when the bull moosers begin trying to pick out the "planted" members and fire them ol the committees. A good deal of work Is now belnar done by all parties in making preparations for the hext registration day, which will be ort Sept. 6. They all realize that no man can vote unless he has registered, and the organizations are bending every effort to see to it that tbalr own voters are registered. This Is he . most important dutyiow before the voters, and If they would only realize this fact and remember that unless they register they cannot -under any circumstances vote for any -one'lt is certain that many man would register who might otherwise neglect: this duty and lose

their votes. All of the state organizations are urging on the county organizations the importance of . registration, and it is believed that this effort will result In a heavy- registration at , the next registration day.

1S2 Sibley street, remembers that whn he conducted an -undertaking business on West State street that a girl by the name of "Minnie" was taken from one of the resorts and was buried by him. He says that there were several other cases in which the Inmates of the West Hammond resorts committed Bulcide or died from other causes and were burled by him. He says that one of the girls went to a building on Hohman street north of the Michigan Central . tracks and suicided. ,,. Cause Mirny Deaths. There Is no doubt that in the ten or fifteen years that, the resorts in West Hammond have Jbeen running that there have been 20 deaths due directly to the presence of the resorts. . The town officials of West Hammond who. tolerated such conditions are indirectly responsible for the. deaths of these peole. Further, facts1, about Esther Harrison are that she had a sweetheart in East Chicago who, together with the divekeepers and habitues of the West Hammond resorts raised the - funds necessary to bury her. , . Officer Has Records. An officer of the Oak Hill cemetery association has ' a certificate which shows that the girl died July 20 was burled July 2, ..was attended by Dr. Andrew Hoffman and was burled in grave 28, section 18 at eleven o'clock in the morning. A sad . incident connected with the case occurred when the undertaker took the girl to the cemetery. The sexton who Kad dug . the grave looked about and 'asked:-' "Where are the mourners?" "There are none," said the driver of the ambulance, and the work of the interment prbceded. Not even the sweetheart of the girl was present to see her, body go to its last resting place.. ly
