CONSTITUTIONALITY OF ELECTION LAW RAISED Point at Issue in An Important Case Relates -to OfficeHolding. The constitutionality of the last election law, as it affects the time of taking possession ol county offices, is being questioned in the Circuit Court at Sullivan, Ind. Theodore E. Slinkard, of Bloomfield, is sitting as special judge at the hearing, which is in the case of the State ex rel. Ben C. Crowder against Elijah Russell. -Mr. Russell is auditor of Sul livan countv.

Mr. Rusys the last clec him to hold over 1, 1909, at which .ling to give up his for Mr. Crowder contended, i court, that the law is unconstimtional because, if Mr. Russell's contention is cor rect, he will hold over another general election to be held in November. In that case, attorneys for Crowder say, the Legislature corkl just as easily pass a law that would enable an officeholder to serve over two, or three, or any number of general elections In other words, the' contend that the Legislature can, if the present law is constitutional, pass a law that would practically put countv officers in office fcr lite Argument on the case will not be finished until the first of the week. REVENUE OFFICER ON VISIT TO CIGAR MEN Government Insists That All Stamps on Boxes Shall Be Scratched Violations Alleged. Deputy Revenue Collectors C. L.'" Larue of Hammond, and Lew Sharp of Ft. Wayne, are in this vicinity and are making a sper.ial inspection of all cigar stores and cigar factories of cities in this, neighborhood. Particular a'.tention is paid to empty cigar boxes. According to the revenue laws all stamos on empty cigar boxes must be destroyl. It is said that the inspectors have found a nlimber of violators of the ordinance while making their tour - of South Bend. No report of this kind has been made to C. M. Bit, who is in charge of the revenue office at South Bend. In case offenders of the law are found the report will first be made to the department headquarters at Indianapolis. Zimmerman is Freed From Charge of Murder. On motion of Prosecutor Tal bot, George Zimmerman, charg ' ed with the murder of his wife, Julia Zimmerman, was "discharged Saturday in the police court at South Bend, the evidence accord ing to the inquest showing that the shooting of the woman was accidental. All the evidence- tended to show that the man did not know the gun would explode when he was trying to extract a cartridge. The only evidence against Zim merman was the dving statement of his wife that the shooting was deliberate. This was greatly out weighed by the evidence that showed it was wholly an acci dent. Bo.h Zimmerman and his friends are wrought up at the al leged unjust stories printed in other papers about him and his family and which have been at tributed to him as far as they re fer to his wife and children. Zim merman denies having made any ot these statements and cannot t.ace them to their source. He characterizes them as malarious falsehoods. DECLARED ILLEGAL. Indianapolis Judge Rules Against Billiard and Poo' Tables in Saloons. Billiard or pool tables in a li censed barroom were declared il legal by a decision of Judge Pritchard of the Criminal Court in Indianapolis Monday. The de cision came on a test case. Som t months ago a saloon keeper was arrested for operating an amuse ment device in a licensed bar room. The case was tried in Po lice Court and the man was found guilty. His attorney appealed th6 case to the Criminal Court It is now' understood he will carry the case higher. The statute says that there shall be no amusement devices in the same room with the licensed bar. Judge Pritchard said he did not see how a pool or b; II lard table could be called anything but an amusement device. A majority of the smaller saloons all over the state are gui ty of violation of the law under this ruling. If the case is sustained in the higher courts there will be hundreds of saloons in the state affected.

TREASURY LOSES

BY MILLIONS i FEDERAL RECEIPTS FALL OFF EXPENDITURES SHOW INCREASE AND NEGATIVE DIFFERENCE IS $144,000,000 The forthcoming statement of treasury receipts ana expenum ures for the fiscal year ending Tune 30 will show marked fallincr off in receipts as compared I with 1907, and a large increase in k expenditures. The excess of expenditures over receipts for the year will approximate $60,000,000, which has been exceeded only twice since the Civil war. In 1894 there was a deficit of $G1V 000.000. and in 1899 there was another of a little more than $39,000.000 and in each of the four intervening vears the receipts fell considerably below the disbursements. Acam in 1901 and 1905 there were shortages of $11, ::0 000 nnd $23.000.000 resoectively. The total receipts this year will 1)P slinwn to have lieen about $599.000,000 or $04,000,000 less than for 1907. Custom receipts will be shown to have fallen off about $4(1,000,000 from those of 1907, while the receipts from intcrnal revenue sources will be short nearly $19,000,000. Miscellancous receipts will show a slight train, , , I The . disbursements will be shown to have aggregated about $059,000,000, or $80,000.000 mre than for. 1907, and $5G,000000 more than for anv other year since 1SG5, not excepting the Spanish war period. Although these increased disbursements are very general and are shown in nearly every account except that of interest on the public debt some of the heaviest of them were for important permanent, improvements. , I he Panama canal during the closing" vear will have cost the Lrovernment -,uuu,uuu, as against $27,000,000 in 1907, and - ---.-- -V-V-V the work this year in connection with the reclamation of the pubic lands will be shown to have cost apout su.uou.uuu, wnicn i a - .--r- f f f AAA - - not far from last year's ficrures. The deficiency in the postal revenues lor tne present year will probably reach $13,500,000, as against T.oüü.uoo tor l!07. making a difference of $0,000,000. This is the largest postal defic-1 iency in the history of the Gov-1. eniment, except in 1905, when it reached nearly $15,000,000. Tht records show there has been a postal deficiency every year since the establishment of the service .. '.I. r wiui nie exception oi twelve, when, when small surpluses were shown. The expense of the rural free mail delivery this year is not expected to fall below $25,000,000. I he decrease in the amount of receipts of $04,000,000 and the in creased expenditures of $80,000,000 make a difference against the treasury for the fiscal vear of $144,000,000.

The Fort Wayne Sentinel, the Democratic organ in Allen conn ty, and one ot the oldest papers in Indiana, adds its testimony thus : "The Republican national con vention chose the best of candiijates presented to it for the Pres idential nomination. Doubtless he also is the strongest of them. If he is in some respects weak politically, he quite makes up for t in the strength of personal character. William H. Taft is the kind of man who makes strong appeal to the country. Big, hearty, jovial and sympa thetic, his personality is extreme llv cantivatinir w . lut latt is so much more than a b e 'cood fe W' that his oualities of amia I bilitv are decidedly apt to be lost i sight of in part, in contemplation of another kind of bitrness and e-oodness. Taft is bitr in his ' statesmanship and big in his true I patriotic character. He has done a great manv big things and has alwavs done them well. Delivers Interesting Address.

"Battleships of the future wil use gas as motive power, sau Lewis Nixon, of New York, the shipbuilder and naval expert. Mr Nixon, who recently rcturnet from England, was commenting on a report from Lonoon that the Admiralty had given orders that i 19,500-ton battleship, the St Vincent, should he so equipped as to maKe. it dependent wholly on gas for motor ixnver. "Entrland is ahead of the world in this matter," said Mr, Nixor . "The gas-motivized bat tleship will be much more eco nomical and efficient than the steam battleship. The lijrhtcr more compact machinery wil save both space and weight. smaller and inferior quality o coal can also be used. The bis battleships will carry coal g producers and generate the gas from the coal." Mr. Nixon recently prepared a design for a gas-motivized battle ship of 30,000 horsepower. I had triple screws, with twelve cylinders, thirty by thirty inches on each shaft. No Living Ex-President.
