verdict delayed, tho company on the advice of its insurance company, Tefused to take any steps which might have the color of liability for the death. Coroner J. A. Graham has not yet rendered the verdict, but the operating physician at the post-mortem. Dr. B. W. Chidlaw, found slight depression of ' the outer table of the skull, which

in the opinion of Dr. Crranara mignt have aggravated any other serious disease-from which Lotas was suffering. It was also found that Lotas was suffering from softening of the heart, tuberculosis and dropsy.

Coroner Graham will put trie question of liability up to Judge Charles R. Hughes at his session in Hammond next Tuesday.

Convention at Columbus Brings Out Interesting Address by Hogan. '

COLUMBUS. IXT., Dec. SO. The spirit of brotllerhood and mutual helpfulness which is growing anions business men belonging- to chambers of commerce and other organization was praised by W. J- Hogan, president of the Indiana State Chamber of Commerce, in his annual address here yesterday at tho state conventoin of that organization. "'Am 1 my brother's keeper?' is being answered yesterday in the affirmative," he said. "Christ's injunction. Love one another.' is becoming the foundation of many organizations today." He said that organization seems to be the logical system yesterday, and one of the best illustrations of this system ia the local, state and national chambers of commerce. The nominating committee recommended the election of the following officers: President, O. C Pmith; vicepresident. K. L Kunmis. South Bend; treasurer. I. B. Pitts. Huntington; secretary, J. K. Xorthway, Columbus; directors. W. J. Hogan, Indianapolis; F. I- Miller. Kokomo; V. P. Perrine, Ft. Wayne; C. S. Way, Columbus, and Wilbur Erskine. Evansvile.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 30. The quartermaster general of the army was notified yesterday to prepare the 7u.0U0 members of the national gilard still in the federal service for an indefinite stay on the. Mexican border. The preca.ution was offiically construed as the first effect of the refusal of Firt CMe Carranza to ratify tho proctocol agreed to by the joint commission. Apparently president Wilson's refusal to withdraw the Pershing expedition is the only objection raised by the first chief to signing the joint international commission's proctocol. invested of its conciUartory verbiage which is admittedly the most polite and wel tempered of any yet embodied in one of, the Mexican de facto government's communications Carrafiza's answer to the American commissioners' demand for his signature amounts to riothing more. In his note Carranza directs the attention of this government to the fact that the Constitutionalist government of Mexico never gave consent for crossing the border by American troops. This, being the case, he says his government must make the withdrawal of the American column a condition precedent to the formulation ot a treaty.
