INDIANA'S RIGHT

Highest Court Fixes State Jurisdiction on Ohio II her. KENTUCKY LOSES OUT Old Contention Between the Two Stnter. Has Been Adjusted Ty the Supreme Court. Concurrent Jurisdiction is Oiven the Two States in All ltiver Matters. Indianapolis, Feb. 24. The United States supreme court has decided in the Ohio river case that Indiana has jurisdiction over the Ohio river concurrent with that of Kentucky. The decision ends a controversy that has raged since the two states were admitted into the union. The Kentucky authorities held that that state's jurisdiction in legal processes extended to low water mark on the Indiana side , while the Indiana authorities took the position that each state had jurisdiction over the river. The case in which the decision was made was the result of a civil action at Evansville. at which a writ of attachment was served for a boat in the Ohio river. The Kentucky court of appeals, to which the case was carried, decided that the contention for which Kentucky had stood, was correct. The supreme courl, in making its rulings, reversed the decision of the Kentucky court. AGAINST ROWDYISM Police at Crawfordsville Will Join With College Authorities. Crawfordsville, Ind., Feb. 24. Because of the high-handed methods of the Wabash college freshmen and sophomores in celebrating Washington's birthday, there will hardly be any more affairs of the kind in Crawfordsville. Public feeling has turned against the students and Mayor Russell says that hereafter the students who participate in such affairs will be arrested by the police and heavily fined. President Kane says that when school opens next year he will make it known that the police will take up the celebration affairs. Students who were arrested Monday will answer to the charge of rioting, next Monday. The college faculty met last evening to discuss the punishment which will be dealt out to offenders. It is elmost certain that several men will be expelled and a large number will lose their term credits. Actuated by Lawlsss Love. Terre Haute, Ind., Feb. 24. Jerry Duggins, a section hand on the South ern Indiana railroad, who gave himself up for the murder of Mrs. Sarah Ramsey and her two children, told the police that he was actuated by his lawless love for the woman. Dugginshas been boarding with the family for seven years. Ho had frequent quarrels wita the family, and recently threatened to kill them. Ho has been in love with Mrs. Ramsey for some time, and Monday night, after Mr. Ramsey, who is employed by the Col umbian Enameling and Stamping com- i pan, on the night shift, had gone to work, Duggins tried to force Mrs. Ramsey to run away with him. When she refused he cut her throat and then killed the children. Another Suspect Arrested. South Bend, Ind., Feb. 21. John Smith has been arrested, charged with the murder of William C. Runyan. He claims to be a traveling newspaper man and was once a resident of Louisville. Smith answers the description of the murderer. His face wras bruised as though he had been in a fight, and he wore a new hat. The murderer of Runyan lost his hat. Smith said he received his bruises in a fight in a saloon id South Bend. . .

MUST ABIDE CONSEQUENCES

Person Accepting a Pass Cannot repudiate Its Conditions. Washington, Feb. 24. The quest'on as to whether a passenger on a railroad train, riding on a free pass who losses his life on recount of an act of carelessness on the part of the railroad company, stands on the same footing as that passenger who pays his fare, has been decided by the United States supreme court against the free passenger. The case in which the opinion was rendered was that of the Northern Pacific Railway company vs. Louise H. Adams and Frank II. Adams, heirs of Jay II. Adams, an at-torney-at-law of Spokane, Wash., in 1898. Mr. Adams was riding on a pass which contained a stipulation exempting the railroad company from liability in case of accident. The federal court for the district of Washington state awarded damages to the extent of $14,000 and the circuit court or appeals for the Ninth circuit affirmed this judgment. The opinion of the supreme court was banded down by Justice Brewer and reversed the lower courts. The supreme court held that there could be no higher measure of duty to the heirs than to Ad?ms himself and that there is nothing in public policy to prevent a contract between a common carrier and a free passenger exempting the carrier from liability in case of accident. The company, it is said, waived "its right to exact compensation from Adams. He was not in the power of the company and obliged to accept its terms. lie freely and voluntarily cnose to accept the privilege offered and having accepted that privilege the CTurt said, cannot repudiate its conditions. UNION LAEOR OPPOSED Citizens Industrial Union Passes Denunciatory Resolutions. Indianapolis, Feb. 24. The Citizens' Industrial association of America completed the work of its first annual convention, perfected the organization begun at Cnicago in October, and adjourned to meet in New York next February. The 400 delegates again gave vigorous expression to their antagonism of the alleged vicious tendencies and practices of organized labor, took a stand against the antiinjunction and the eight-hour bills now pending in congress, and closed their convention by giving three cheers for Gen. Harrison J. Otis, editor of the Los Angeles Times, who has been fighting unionism 'on the Pacific coast. Several resolutions of a most pe 'tive character were passed on with cheers. One of these denounced the union label required by the unions on the public printing of cities. This was declared to be a discrimination against the people who will not make the sacrifices that are necessary to have the right to use the label, or who are opposed to the use of it. Perjured Himself Through Fear. Synthiana, Ky., Feb. 24. There was a sensation in the court house here yesterday auernoon when A. C. Adams plead guilty to perjury and was given the minimum sentence of one year. Adams was one of the principal witnesses for the defense at the trial here last September of Curtis Jett and Thomas White, convicted of killing J. B. Marcum and James Cockriil at Jackson, Ky. In making his confession in the open court room he said he had perjured himself on account of fear of being killed in Breathitt county afterward if he testified to what he knew. A Texas Race War. Bryan, Tex., Feb. 24. In a pitched battle between whites and blacks near Madisonville, Sam Seay, a prominent young man was killed and several other whites were wounded. One of the regroes involved has been captured and placed in jail at Madisonville and parties are searching the country for the others. Great excitement prevails here. Dick's Selectio.n Assured. Columbus. Ohio, Feb. 24. Eightyeight out of the 117 Republican members of the legislature have signed the petition pledging their votes to Gen. Charles Dick for United States senator. Fifty-nine votes are necessary to nominate in Republican caucus and 72 are necessary to elect on joint ballot. Conductor Was Killed. Knoxville, Tenn., Feb. 24.

A SLOW-GOING WAR

Both Sides Taking Time to Get Heady in the Far East. NO DECISIVE ACTION' Land Forces are Moving in KviJeiit Preparation lor Getting in Battle Array. Forty Thousand More Japanese Troops Iteportetl lo HaveLantled at Omulpo. Paris, Feb. 21. a dispatch from Port Arthur published in Paris this morning denies categorically the reports of a new attack b3r Japanese torpedo boats and says they have been repulsed with loss every tirae they appeared in the roadstead. London, Feb. 24. Cabling from Che Foo on Feb. 23 a correspondent says 40,000 more Japanese troops have landed at Chemulpo and that he has received confirmation of the report that some Japanese have landed at Pigeon bay, others at Talienwan, and that an engagement occurred the night of Feb. II. A correspondent at Seoul reports a panic at Ping Yang, Korea, which Is regarded as heralding the approach of the opposing armies. According to another correspondent at Seoul the Japanese bombarded Port Arthur at intervals between the 8th and 14th of February, causing only slight damage. The report is confirmed, this correspondent continues, that seventy miles of railroad track and some important bridges have been destroyed between Harbin and Vladivostock. If the latter report is true, it would be a great advantage to the Japanese, as Vladivostock is known to be very badly supplied, and it therefore could not long resist a Japanese attack. There is still, however, no news of actual operations of any kind. Special dispatches from St. Petersburg give various sensational reports of a political nature. The Telegraph, for instance, says the Russian government has ordered its ambassador at Constantinople to obtain the permission of the porte for the exit of the Black sea fleet, but M. Zinovieff, the ambassador, declines to make this request and wa3 able to give the Russian foreign office conclusive reacona for his refusal. A RUSSIAN PREDICTION Jrps Rely Upon Their Fleet to Defend Land Operations. St. Petersburg, Feb. 24. M. Jeletz, a military expert, who is to accompany General Kuropatkin to the front and whose opinions are conseqently of increased value, predicts that the Japanese will make their base of operations along the line between Ping Yang and Wo San, Korea, relying upon protection from their fleet against a flank attack. The Japanese army will from this line have to march 200 miies over mountainous country to the Yalu river, where they will find the Russians strongly entrenched. If they succeed in forcing this line back they will find another strong Russian line extending from the Yalu to Mukden. They may then divide their forces, using half to hold the Russians in check, while the other half goes to besiege Port Arthur; in this event the Japanese will be liable to a flank attack by the northern Russian forces from Kirin. The Japanese who were hanged by Russians in. Manchuria for attempting to blow up the railroad bridge over the Sangari river were disguised as coolies. They were arrested just as they were about to make the attempt. Inquiry revealed that they were Japanese officers of the general staff, namely, Colonel Assai of the engineers and Lieutenants Zoneloiascha and Kaeurta of the sappers. They were at once hanged from the girders of the bridge. The newspapers of Port Arthur dated Feb. 4 reached St. Petersburg yesterday, indicating that they were less than three weeks in transit. Troop trains probably require a longer time, on account of the difficulties at Lake Baikal, where provisions and troops are crossing both on ice trains and sledges. But the cold is exceedingly severe. Thirty-six degrees below is recorded at Irkutsk and other places. Stories ot the sufferings of the troops in the crossing of the lake are persistent. Some reports say f00 men were frozen; but these lack confirmation, oflicial or otherwise. Consul's Duties Complicated. Yinkow, Feb. 24. The consuls have decided on concerted action looking to the neutralization of New Chwang. They will, however, endeavor to secure an expression of Russian official opinion before acting further. An authoritative Japanese report says that one hundred Japanese refugees sent to Tort Arthur had not been accounted for. Persistent refusal of official information complicates United States Consul Miller's difficulties. Will Meet Ju:y 4. St. Loui3, Feb. 24. The national committees of the fusion and middle-of-the-road wings of the Populist party have decided to hold a joint national convention in Springfield, Hi., July 4.
